Beast EMPEROR

Fenghuang was technically a Phoenix but it was different from them. It didn't have blazing wings like the others and didn't have the ability to revive through its ashes, it did have one thing though. Authority. Since it was hailed as the King of Birds then it definitely had the power to back it up. 

SKREEEE!!!

It roared again but this time, its roar was a bit different. It was louder, majestic and commanding. While Lu Zhen wondered why its roar was suddenly different…

SCREECH! SCREECH! SCREECH!

Eagles screams resounded throughout the whole kingdom as His Majesty and Her Highness turned into majestic golden eagles that took to the sky, even their children followed suit and as time went on, more and more birds filled the sky. It was the moon being accompanied by stars, it was a grand and beautiful scene. 

…

"Since you're mine now. NO ONE WILL TAKE YOU AWAY FROM ME!" Lu Zhen's expression became resolute and cold. He then stripped naked and entered the barrier. He then kissed Princess Zhu on the lips. What was amazing was that Princess Zhu reciprocated but what was astonishing was Lu Zhen's body. He was changing into his beast form. 

A pure white lion with noble, pure and kind aura was emitted by it but it later changed to a domineering, savage, bloodthirsty, majestic and terrifying aura. The lion was now pitch black with two red horns hanging on its head and a blood red mane. He then opened his mouth that looked like the mouth of a volcano  and a red and black mist came out from his mouth. The temperature immediately plummeted as clouds started to condense. 

Crack! Crack! Crack! 

The celebration immediately ended after feeling how terrifying these clouds were but the Fenghuang and the two Garudas circled the sky, they were after all non living entities. 

His Majesty and the rest returned to their human appearances. They were soaked in sweat with cold backs. From this, it could be seen just how terrifying these clouds were. 

"What are those clouds father?" asked one of the children. "I don't know. Let me ask Lu Zhen, I have a feeling he has something to do with this." 

They looked around but couldn't see him anywhere, they looked for him in his courtyard but no luck. Just as they were wondering where he was, two huge wild goat horns that glowed red emerged from Princess Zhu's place, they were not real but also illusory. 

The horns were stuck on a huge black lion's head, the head had abyss like eyes, the very definition of darkness, a red mane that looked like a river made of blood also formed and after a while, it had completely taken a lion form. The body was sparkling white with a long chain tail with a ball-like sharp end. Its aura could only be described as otherworldly, unfathomable, terrifying and inconceivable. It looked down on everything. 

Plop!

His Majesty and everyone else slammed their heads to the ground so hard that the ground caved in. They were sweating all over with pale faces, they kept shaking like they were naked in a snowy area. Everyone in the kingdom was in the same posture as that of the King. The lion only took a glance at them before looking at the dark clouds, wings then formed on the back of the lion, they were covered in red scales and looked like they were burning. 

The lion silhouette kept growing until everyone looked like ants, it was so large that even other kingdoms and cities saw it. It was the same result even for them, they knelt on the ground with pale faces and also soaked in sweat. 

The lion then flapped its wings as it took to the skies. 

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! 

Thunder sounded out as if someone was beating huge drums. The clouds also sounded like they were warning him not to mess with them and unfortunately, the lion didn't stop its momentum and instead increased it. The lion then opened its gigantic mouth, it was large enough to swallow the whole world. 

The clouds were then swallowed in a single gulp. The sky suddenly darkened. The lion's eyes became darker than they were, the mane became so red that it looked black and the body was blindingly white that even people from other worlds dared not look at it. 

…

Inside the Princess Zhu's courtyard, Lu Zhen's mist covered both him and the Princess. The mist then suddenly condensed in the Third and Fifth Prince's barriers and engulfed them. 

In the sky,the lion opened its mouth and released black, red and white coloured clouds albeit in small amounts. This process lasted ten years before everything went back to normal. The clouds dissipated and the lion silhouette shot down to Princess Zhu's living quarters before disappearing. 

Everyone slowly raised their heads, after seeing that everything was finally over, they stood up and fell to the ground. They tried again and again, it was funny because they looked like children who were learning how to stand up and walk. They couldn't be blamed since they had knelt for a whole ten years. 

SKREEEE!!!

Three figures shot to the skies again, it was Fenghuang and the two Garudas. They were larger and had solidified a great deal, they looked real but were still illusory. The aura of Fenghuang became more unbearable and unfathomable. Its roar travelled far and wide as if announcing its return. Lu Zhen got out of Zhu's courtyard with a huge smile on his face. 

…

Somewhere far, far away, in a pure white world. Six people sat crossed legged in clear water but the temperature inside was freezing cold. It was amazing for these people to survive in such an environment. Their eyes opened simultaneously, they were pure white. 

"Someone has awakened the Fenghuang bloodline." said one of them emotionlessly.

"Brothers and sisters, it is now our time to shine. Once one of us devours that bloodline, he or she might reach 'That' realm and our race will soar, we will be hailed as the strongest phoenix race. It is time for the Ice Phoenix Race to emerge from seclusion." said another person. There was excitement within his voice. "Where is that person residing?"

"Let me check." said someone with an ancient voice. That person's eyes suddenly turned blue and the person had a dazed expression. 

…

In another place, in an eerie world, a huge bird with black flames. It was a crow with three eyes and three legs, it raised its head. Their entire place was pitch black, its flames suddenly changed colour and the whole world lit up. "Fenghuang bloodline? It's actually the Fenghuang bloodline! Once I obtain it, nothing will stand in my way. I might even have a chance to break through to 'THAT' realm. Let me see where you're hiding." 

…

This was happening from all powerful races. The races like the Ice Phoenix race, Three legged Crow race, Eternal Phoenix race, Mesmerising Peacock race and many others were looking for the bearer of the Fenghuang bloodline to break through to "That" realm but they vomited mouthfuls of blood and their faces went pale after their eyes had glowed in different colours.
