YM778.TV Chapter 386 - Morale.
Yang Dao was not aware of the intentions the phoenix had in her heart. He dedicated himself to concentration and began to gather all the heat inside his body. The process was dangerous, he was aware that he could not use the wind attribute to calm himself down. So, he decided to let the heat be evenly distributed in his body.
The boy began to sweat from all the heat funneling into his body but he did not stop. He knew that this was far from enough. The boulder was placed in front of the arch, the phoenix found no signs of other elements being used and she landed on the archway.
The heat was controlled by Yang Dao because he could master the element that was the source of all this heat. The source of the heat was none other than the Phoenix in front of him. Yang Dao could see that all the heat in this place was because of her. So he focused all his energy on siphoning off the heat from her.
He willed the fire source energy in this place to concentrate and burn. Once the source energy in the void is used, it will take some time to replenish. So what Yang Dao did was to make all the source energy gather and funnel inside him like heat.
He did this to execute a plan that he came up with. He did not make the move as soon as he came up with the plan but waited it out. He knew that he only had one chance at it. He would only be defeated if he was not careful. Yang Dao knew it very well that he only had one chance to change his destiny, which he did not wish to lose.
The process of funneling and gathering heat along with the source energy was very slow. He did not know how much time had passed, but he was aware that the situation of his body was getting from bad to worse. At first, his hair all fell off, then his skin was inflamed, slowly his blood began to boil, his organs began to heat up. They did not melt as his body was especially nurtured by the elements.
After a point, his bones began to get affected by the radiating heat. His appearance was nothing close to the sunny, and handsome male god that he was. It was as if a lot of skin patches were stitched together and wrapped around a skeleton. The pain he was going through was not something that can be imagined by normal human beings.
However, the phoenix did not bother to stop him. She wanted to see if the boy would perish in the fire or will he rise from his ashes, reborn like a phoenix. Yang Dao was not a normal Dao child. She was aware of it but she did not wish to go easy on him. Resolve was akin to a fire, too much wind will make it go out of control. Too less, the fire will go out leaving dark smoke.
Just as the Pheonix was lost in her thoughts, Yang Dao made his move. He had reached the limit of his body. His tissues had started to melt now, half of his blood had evaporated. If the situation was to be dragged along, then it would have been very critical for him. So, he decided to make his move.
He controlled all the source energy and cast a barrier around the phoenix. The bird did not react, she wanted to see what this boy intended to do. After the sphere was complete, Yang Dao channeled all the heat inside his body to inside the sphere. The phoenix finally could not sit still.
Yang Dao was not in the mood to give her any chance to counter his move, so he willed for all the source energy to light up into a fire. The fire was strong, but it was not enough to threaten the Vermillion bird. However, it mixed up with all the heat the vermillion phoenix had. This realm did not follow the laws of physics but the laws of dao.
Extreme heat can give birth to cold. The heat around the phoenix when paired with the heat Yang Dao had channeled, caused the temperature of the rest of the area to fall, and when the temperature fell rapidly, it was followed by a drizzle, rain, and then some hail.
The barren land drank up all the water that fell on it. Yang Dao was also showered with the water. However, the heat inside him was so strong that all the drops turned to steam as they fell over him.
The water was formed from the vapors mixed with source energy, and when such water fell on the ground, it was bought back to life in an instant. The whole place was covered in shallow grass blades, a soothing breeze blew in the plain. The phoenix now did not radiate a strong heat as it sat on the arch.
The phoenix was a giant it lowered its proud head and breathed over Yang Dao gently. In an instant, all the wounds and ailments were cured. Yang Dao\'s physique grew back to its prime, and it also became better than before. The boy now had a glow radiating from his skin, his hair did not grow like the style he had earlier, they grew long enough to trail his waist.
He sat on the boulder, naked, all his clothes had turned to ashes earlier. The phoenix did not care and said, "The vermillion Pheonix, pays homage to master."
The ethereal and warm voice knocked directly on Yang Dao\'s heart as he opened his eyes. He said with a smile, "Can I have some clothes first? It is very embarrassing to talk like this."
The vermillion phoenix could not help but chuckle. A chuckled that made the rejuvenated land relish with the glow of life. Yang Dao passed the trial, by using the flame to rejuvenate the place. The flame was not the fire he set earlier, but the laughter of the flame queen, the vermillion phoenix.
