464 The Sculptor and the Painter

“I see. Doesn’t that mean that the phoenix has to be burned by this golden flame every day? Isn’t it painful?”

“Hmm, how should I put it? There was pain, but it wasn’t fatal. Therefore, it was also a kind of purification and strengthening of the body. As the Phoenix Golden Flame continues to burn, the Phoenix’s body will become stronger and stronger. Even an unremarkable feather will become a supreme treasure!”

“Hiss! I can’t believe it. In the past, when I saw the Phoenix transforming into the size of a fist and hanging on your shoulder, it was quite cute. But I didn’t expect it to be so terrifying. The Phoenix Golden Flame didn’t burn you, did it?”

“With my current body, I’m not afraid of the Phoenix Golden Flame’s burning,” Li Xiang said with a smile. “On the contrary, it’ll benefit me greatly. However, the Phoenix Golden Flame is the Phoenix’s source of energy. It cannot be wasted or consumed at will. Otherwise, the Phoenix will become weak. If it was exhausted, it might even die. That’s why the phoenix didn’t use its Phoenix Golden Flame earlier. It only spat out this thin wisp when it was angry.”

At this moment, everyone’s eyes fell on the thin wisps of Phoenix Golden Flame.

“Whoosh-”

The Phoenix Golden Flame landed on the black shield.

In an instant, a vast black figure rose from the Golden flames.

“Roar!”

This figure had three heads and six arms. Its entire body was pitch-black, and it looked terrifying.

However, as soon as it appeared, it turned into a wisp of black smoke and dissipated under the burning of the Phoenix Golden Flame. Other than letting out an angry roar, it completely disappeared without even letting out a fart.

As for the black shield, it was burned into a golden-red liquid by the golden flames and fell onto the body of the giant black snake.

“Roar!”

The body of the black snake was too large. Although it wanted to burrow its body into the ground, there was no time. The phoenix’s attack was too fast and impossible to dodge.

After the golden-red metal liquid fell with golden flames, the giant black snake suddenly twisted and jumped like a cat whose tail had been stepped on.

“Rumble…”

The ground within a radius of ten thousand feet trembled violently, and the earth was flipped over. A black body twisted wildly in the soil, trying to escape the burning Phoenix Golden Flame.

However, it was no use. In just three breaths, the earth quieted down again.

However, the ground had been turned over by the black snake’s body, and there were even a few small mountains.

The steaming hot air rose to the sky and covered the sun.

The black snake’s body had disappeared entirely. On the ground, there were occasionally golden sparks flying in all directions. They instantly turned to dust when they landed on the soil and rocks.

Countless people who saw this scene felt their scalps go numb with fear.

“Hiss-”

“So this is the Phoenix Golden Flame? As expected, it lived up to its reputation. It was too terrifying! Even the Country Lord’s arrow couldn’t pierce through the giant snake and that shield. And this thin flame burned everything to ashes.”

“Phoenixes are truly beautiful and powerful creatures! ”

“No matter what, we must change the name of North City to Phoenix City!”

At this moment, a middle-aged man with messy hair was holding a drawing board in his hand on a roof. He was frantically drawing on it, and his eyes were filled with a passionate look.

Around his feet and even in the courtyard below the house, there were many discarded drafts.

There were giant snakes, werewolves and pterosaurs, but phoenixes were the most common.

These phoenixes were of all shapes and sizes. Some were fierce, some were elegant, and some were majestic. They were incredibly vivid.

There was even a faint and strange divine charm emerging from it.

However, the life-like phoenix seemed to come to life on the drawing board in the middle-aged man’s hand. His aura was also rising rapidly.

This man was a sporadic painter who entered spirituality through painting.

This path was extremely difficult for him. First, he needed to observe countless powerful creatures or transcendent things and draw them. Then, only by fusing them with the divine charm would he be able to improve.

However, regardless of whether it was a powerful, extraordinary creature or transcendent object, they were often accompanied by great danger.

Initially, he had planned to go to the City of Dawn after some time, hoping to have the opportunity to meet the Lord of Dawn and draw him into his painting. He believed that he would be able to improve significantly in this way.

He didn’t expect that the foreign race would attack and he would be able to see the mythical beasts of the phoenixes and even see them in action.

As if he had gone crazy, he drew all the phoenixes he saw on the paper.

He could feel that his strength was currently increasing madly.

The moment the painting was completed, the aura on his body suddenly changed from the original violent to deep. At the same time, the paper in his hand bloomed with golden light.

“I’ve succeeded. I’ve finally succeeded!”

On the roof next door, an older man glanced at the middle-aged man, but he did not blame him. The other party’s reaction was too ordinary for him. Similarly, he was also so excited that he could not calm down.

However, his hand was still steadily carving the last stroke.

“Boom!”

A golden flame bloomed from the Phoenix in his hand. Then, the flame quickly converged and turned into an ordinary-looking jade carving.

“Whoosh! My trip was not in vain! To be able to see the mythical beasts of the phoenixes and carve twelve phoenix jade carvings in my lifetime. It’s enough to deal with most crises.”

The older man was a master in the art of carving. His path of transcendence was the same as the painter next door, having needed to rely on their works to enter the path of transcendence.

Initially, there were many transcendent creatures in this world, but most of them were hiding all kinds of evil auras. Once they were carved, these sculptures would also carry evil auras. If one was not careful, not only would they not be of help, but they would also be harmful.

This had always troubled him, making his transcendence path extremely bumpy.

Seeing the phoenix this time, his joy was not any less than the artist next door. It could be said that the moment he saw the phoenix, he had already entered the state and began to carve.

However, carving speed was much slower than drawing, so there were only twelve finished products.

The artist next door had drawn eighteen phoenix paintings.

These eighteen phoenix paintings had also become the natal treasure of the painter. They could be used against enemies. Although their power could not be compared to a real phoenix, they could still have thirty per cent of its power.

If the eighteen paintings were to be put together, they would be able to display at least seventy per cent of the phoenix’s power.

Just by looking at how the Phoenix killed the Wind Pterosaur King and the giant black snake, he knew that even if it was only seventy of its power, it was enough to be proud of.

The power of the older man’s twelve jade carvings was more potent than the artist’s paintings. This was because not only did they contain divine intent, but they also had a physical form.
