Building an Eternal Dynasty: The Eternal Legacy System

The Blood of the Divine Phoenix

The Divine Phoenix phantom stood silently above the room.

Its enormous body seemed capable of blotting out the heavens themselves. Every scarlet-gold feather shimmered with ancient runes, each one containing endless divine abilities and profound truths that surpassed mortal understanding.

Its mere existence distorted space.

Every graceful movement carried countless profound mysteries of the Principle of World.

Its wings spread across innumerable worlds like a living constellation.

With a single flap of those magnificent wings, endless realms trembled beneath its overwhelming majesty.

Victor stood motionless.

His golden eyes reflected the immortal creature soaring above him, while the Primordial Infinity Physique instinctively resonated with the ancient power before him.

The phantom rose higher.

Higher still.

It crossed stars.

Passed through endless galaxies.

Beyond worlds.

Beyond dimensions.

It continued flying farther and farther away.

Yet something felt strangely wrong.

No matter how distant it appeared...

It had never actually left its original position.

Victor’s pupils contracted.

Then—

An unimaginable scene unfolded before his eyes.

Everything stretched.

The heavens elongated into infinity.

Space folded over itself.

Worlds became no larger than grains of sand.

Time itself seemed to lose all meaning.

The magnificent Divine Phoenix that moments earlier had appeared large enough to cover countless heavens suddenly shrank within his vision.

Or perhaps...

It wasn’t shrinking.

His perspective was simply rising higher.

Higher than worlds.

Higher than reality itself.

Finally—

Victor saw the truth.

The so-called Divine Phoenix...

Was merely a living creature contained inside a single crimson drop of blood.

That single drop floated within an endless darkness, radiating power vast enough to nourish countless universes.

The Divine Phoenix itself was only one life contained within it.

Victor’s breathing unconsciously stopped.

A single drop of blood...

Contained an existence capable of illuminating endless worlds.

Then...

Boom!

The vision shattered.

Everything disappeared as though it had never existed.

The room returned to silence.

The only thing remaining before Victor was the description of the cultivation technique.

[Celestial Phoenix Eternal Scripture: The Divine Phoenix is immortal, and the Myriad Principles endure forever. Cultivate this supreme scripture and transform yourself into a Celestial Phoenix. Temper both body and soul through the Myriad Principles. Upon reaching Great Perfection, even a single drop of blood can regenerate your entire existence.]

Victor slowly exhaled.

His heart, usually calm as an ancient lake, could not remain completely still.

”So this...”

”...is a Peak Heaven-Grade cultivation technique.”

A faint smile appeared on his handsome face.

No.

Calling it merely a Peak Heaven-Grade technique almost felt disrespectful.

After witnessing that impossible vision, Victor had a growing suspicion.

Just like the Four Seasons Hidden Spring Scripture and the Autumn Sovereign Heavenfall Scripture...

The Celestial Phoenix Eternal Scripture might also conceal an even greater secret.

Perhaps...

It, too, originated from something far beyond Heaven Grade.

He did not dwell on the thought.

His current strength was still far too insignificant.

Some truths were better left untouched until one possessed the power to understand them.

The cultivation technique began operating automatically.

A pleasant warmth spread throughout his body.

Unlike the blazing heat of ordinary flames, this warmth was gentle and life-giving.

It flowed through every vein and every drop of blood.

Victor closed his eyes.

Turning his consciousness inward, he witnessed an astonishing sight.

Each strand of his blood was being refined by brilliant golden flames.

Impurities vanished.

His muscles became denser.

His bones grew stronger.

Even his internal organs shimmered with faint crimson light.

His bloodline was undergoing continuous evolution.

Every heartbeat sounded like the beating of an ancient divine drum.

Boom...

Boom...

Boom...

Each pulse echoed throughout his body.

His physical strength rose continuously.

Within only a few breaths, Victor estimated that the power of his body alone had increased by nearly thirty percent.

And the refinement showed no signs of stopping.

”This technique...”

”It continuously strengthens the body.”

”It truly deserves the title of an immortal scripture.”

Before Victor could examine it further, another notification appeared.

[Ding!]

[Host has successfully cultivated the Celestial Phoenix Eternal Scripture.]

[Special Physique obtained: Eternal Sacred Phoenix Physique.]

[Eternal Sacred Phoenix Physique: After entering the Celestial Gate Realm, every major breakthrough will nurture one Eternal Phoenix Phantom. Each phantom possesses thirty percent of the user’s combat strength and may fight independently.]

Victor raised an eyebrow.

”A physique...”

Before he could finish speaking—

Another notification immediately appeared.

[Ding!]

[The Primordial Infinity Physique can devour all Sacred Physiques and Dao Physiques.]

[After devouring them, the Primordial Infinity Physique will inherit every characteristic while evolving them to an even higher level.]

[Devour Eternal Sacred Phoenix Physique?]

Victor smiled.

There wasn’t the slightest hesitation.

”Devour.”

Hum—

Countless ancient runes instantly emerged across his skin.

Every rune glowed with indescribable brilliance.

Behind Victor, the phantom of an infinite world slowly appeared.

Boundless.

Limitless.

Without beginning.

Without end.

Within that endless world...

A blazing sun slowly rose.

Its radiance illuminated heaven and earth.

Its brilliance overwhelmed the stars.

The entire room seemed unable to contain Victor’s transformed presence.

If the Victor from earlier resembled an immortal who had descended into the mortal realm...

Then the current Victor resembled the eternal sun itself.

Majestic.

Absolute.

Supreme.

Even the stars seemed dim beneath his radiance.

Any cultivator weaker than him would instinctively lower their head, unable to meet his gaze.

The system interface updated once more.

[Primordial Infinity Physique: Innately boundless. Unrestricted by heaven and earth. Immune to the suppression of all universal laws. Possesses a body infinitely approaching the origin of the Principle of World. Can devour and fuse every Sacred Physique and Dao Physique.]

[Celestial Phoenix Dao Transformation: Upon reaching the Celestial Gate Realm, every major breakthrough will nurture two Celestial Phoenix Phantoms. Each phantom possesses fifty percent of the user’s combat strength.]

[Current Devoured Physique: Eternal Sacred Phoenix Physique.]

Victor couldn’t help smiling.

”So powerful...”

He carefully examined his body.

Deep within his dantian, two tiny Celestial Phoenix phantoms had already begun taking shape.

Although still immature, each emitted astonishing vitality.

The original Eternal Sacred Phoenix Physique had already been extraordinary.

Yet after being devoured by the Primordial Infinity Physique...

Its abilities had become even more terrifying.

Each breakthrough would now produce two avatars instead of one.

Each avatar would wield half of Victor’s true combat strength.

This was no longer merely a powerful physique.

It was nothing short of heaven-defying.

Feeling the endless vitality flowing through every corner of his body, Victor slowly looked toward the rain falling beyond the window.

The world was vast.

Ancient experts could pluck stars from the heavens.

Some seized moons with their bare hands.

Others walked upstream through the River of Time itself.

Yet Victor believed that one day...

He would lead the Salvatore Family beyond every age.

The greatest glory this magnificent era had to offer...

He would witness it with his own eyes.

”The road...”

”...must always be walked one step at a time.”

Suppressing the excitement within his heart, Victor gradually calmed his breathing.

”A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step.”

”And Aurelia City...”

”...only needs one voice.”

He slowly closed his eyes once more.

His mind entered deep cultivation.

Outside, the autumn rain continued to fall across Aurelia City.

Yet before dawn broke...

The entire city would be turned upside down
