Isekai Life as Ōtsutsuki

She was someone rather refreshing to talk with, and Kirihara actually deeply appreciated her scheming and ambitious nature because it filled the gaps that she couldn't.

Kirihara knew that she wasn't someone very suitable for a leader; she didn't have the foresight that, for example, the late wife of the current Patriarch had.

One thing that Kirihara feared rather deeply was that, once Yakou became the Patriarch, that this would make for a poor wife for the Patriarch.

Usually, the wives of Patriarchs took a major position within the leadership of the Clan.

Kirihara knew that she was a far better combatant and Alchemist, as she had been learning Alchemy for the past years when she accidentally discovered that she had a rather strong talent and affinity for it.

Trial Ground of the Phoenix Legacy

The moment he stepped inside the entrance, the scene before him suddenly distorted within mere moments, faster than he could register even with his eyes; clearly he had walked into some kind of array.

He felt the sky and ground spin right after as if his body was sent flying by a storm. He unconsciously closed his eyes. Only after a long time did that weightless feeling finally disappear slowly.

When he opened his eyes, he only saw a pitch-black darkness.

Several moments later, two lines of narrow golden light suddenly appeared in the pitch-black darkness before him. Immediately after, the two narrow lines of golden luminance slowly opened like a pair of slightly narrowed eyes...

A pair of incomparably gigantic golden eyes that was embedded inside the endlessly dark black space.

Those were the eyes of the Phoenix.

"What do you want invader!"

Yakou was welcomed or unwelcomed by stretching sound full of anger and hatred that was directed at him.

It seemed that the Ancient Gods and Devils were very well aware of the happenings out of their Origin World and it seemed that their experiences with the foreigners were not good in the past.

From what he saw, it wasn't something weird because the Primal Chaos Dimension Origin World could be considered as a very weak Origin World due to its weak cultivation system.

So naturally, the Origin Worlds that were much stronger would pick up on them and would target them for their cultivation resources, which they had plenty of.

"Considering that you are willing to speak, let's ask nicely to give me everything you have and I will let you exist, maybe even restore you to your former glory."

Ōtsutsuki Yakou said with a grin, fully awaiting the Phoenix Spirit to attack him outright because what he proposed was something that the Phoenix Spirit would never accept, but the very moment Yakou saw and felt it, he knew that he won.

The combat strength of the lingering remnants of the Phoenix Spirit was barely around average 2nd-Grade Tier 3; its power was greatly diminished and severely weakened.

If they fought, then it wouldn't be able to do anything because it was too weak. As he expected, the Phoenix Spirit within the Trial Legacy Ground mobilized all of the flames and its remaining power to erase him from existence.

Naturally, the fundamentals of Ōtsutsuki and Phoenix were incompatible with each other...

"Begone from the Legacy Trial Ground evil being!"

The Immortal Soul left behind the true Phoenix screeched with fire as tsunamis of flames shot towards Yakou, who didn't bother to dodge and just gathered the Dust as several cubes appeared around him and obliterated the endless flames to nothingness.

"Not the best shot, wanna try it again?"

Yakou asked with a grin as he looked at the Phoenix Spirit that brimmed with rage that all of its attacks were futile and were instantly neutralized by whatever its opponent was doing...

The Crown Prince of the Ōtsutsuki Clan was specializing in the Dao of Dust, and he comprehended the Dao of Dust every time he had time for it. In fact, his comprehension of the Dao of Dust was slowly heading to the True Meaning Level, which would be a staggering achievement.

Typically, only cultivators at the Holy Lord Realm had comprehended Dao to the True Meaning Level, as it was one of the requirements for advancing to the Holy Lord Realm, but seeing a Saint to have comprehension of some Dao on the True Meaning Level was frightening.

Right now, Yakou was at the Half Completion Stage of the Profound Mystery Level and was steadily heading toward the Great Completion Stage of the Profound Mystery Level; he predicted that he would achieve that very soon.

Seeing that the Phoenix Spirit was unsure of what to do, Yakou took the initiative by activating his third eye on his forehead, as his Senrinjōnegan shined so brightly that it illuminated the entire place.

"Seven Paths Technique: Human Path!"

He used the Soul Absorption Technique of the Senrinjōnegan as he grabbed the soul of the already greatly weakened Phoenix Spirit and started forcefully assimialting the soul and reading its memories.

Long ago, the three major fire attribute Divine Beasts: the Phoenix, Golden Crow, and the Vermilion Bird, fought for the Flame Progenitor position in the Realm of Gods. The fierce battle lasted thirty-six days and ended in the defeat and injury of all three.

The Phoenix fell down to this Profound Sky Continent after being gravely wounded and completely recovered after thirteen years in the Profound Sky Continent.

In these thirteen years, the Phoenix deeply felt that even though the Profound Sky Continent's humans were weak in strength, their hearts and nature were pure; thus, it left two trial grounds in order to leave some opportunities for the humans of this continent.

This was how the Legacies of the Phoenix and Golden Crow got onto the Profound Sky Continent.

From the memories of the Phoenix Spirit, he learned that the Legacy of the Golden Crow was on another continent called the Illusory Demon Realm.

He also got tons of other memories, mainly about the past of the Phoneix and other things, but he would need to go through the memories rather slowly.

And naturally, the most precious thing he got was her understanding of the Profound Way and even Laws...

While the Phoenix was a fire-attributed Divine Beast, she had some understanding of the Lightning Laws of the Primal Chaos Dimension, which was seen by Yakou, who immediately entered the state of epiphany and elevated his comprehension of the Dao of Lightning to the Profound Mystery Level.

And naturally, he also obtained tons of cultivation methods and the core inheritance cultivation method of the Phoenix Legacy, World Ode of the Phoenix.
