Chapter 719: Asura Ghost Queen
Feng Feitian alone battled the Asura Ghost King and was surprisingly not at a disadvantage, drawing continuous admiration from the onlookers.
The Nirvana Beings that fought earlier also hailed from the Great Cosmic Clans, were well-known figures, and even a few of them had ranked within the top hundred on the Nirvana Level leaderboard.
Together, they battled the Asura Ghost King, even employing numerous Pet Eggs, yet they returned with their feathers clipped.
But Feng Feitian alone, with a single Golden Feather, was actually fighting the Asura Ghost King to a standstill, which was truly astounding.
"It's a pity that Feng Feitian didn't take part in the clan ranking battle; otherwise, he would surely have been first on the Nirvana leaderboard."
"The depth of the Phoenix Clan's legacy is terrifying. This prodigy hasn't even joined the battle, and his achievements are already shocking and unconventional. Who knows how many more formidable warriors they are hiding?"
"Not just the Phoenix Clan, among those Powerful Cosmic Races, who knows how many hidden warriors have not participated in the battle. No one lays all their cards on the table."
The Golden Feather in Feng Feitian's hand blazed with soaring golden light, his skills resembling both sword and axe, and his movement technique was even more mysteriously unfathomable.
Bing Leiya discerned the subtleties, and said with frustration, "That Ghost Shield of the Asura Ghost King seems to be useless against Feng Feitian; it can hardly weaken his combat power."
Di Esi watched as Feng Feitian displayed his divine prowess and nodded in response, "I've heard that the Phoenix Clan possesses an extremely rare Base Change Talent known as Phoenix Blood Bath. Only the Pure Blood Phoenix Clan might naturally obtain it, which can confer immunity to all negative states. It looks like Feng Feitian has a similar talent."

Bing Leiya sighed, "I've also heard of this talent, Phoenix Blood Bath. Even among the Pure Blood Phoenix Clan, it's a rarely seen gift. I didn't expect Feng Feitian to have such luck. It seems our trip here has been in vain."
Hearing this, Lin Shen turned to Di Esi and asked, "Did you choose to start over because you were born with poor talent?"
Di Esi was a natural Nirvana Being, and Lin Shen had always been curious why he would choose to start over. The conversation about talents with Bing Leiya and the others prompted him to ask.
Di Esi smiled and said, "My innate talent is not bad, but I wanted to experience those things I had never encountered before, which is why I chose to start over. It doesn't have much to do with my talent."
Bing Leiya chimed in, "Di Esi is being modest. His innate talent was already among the top tier. His current talent may not even be superior to his natural one."
Lin Shen was somewhat surprised, "Then aren't you at a loss by starting over?"
"It's not necessarily a loss. One is the accumulation and inheritance given by our ancestors, and the other is one's own choice. It can't be said which is better or worse; it's simply a different choice," Di Esi imparted some knowledge of the high-born races to Lin Shen.
The reason the high-born races are superior is that they themselves have evolved to a higher level, acquiring various strong talents, which enables them to evolve to even higher ranks.
Therefore, the Base Change Talents they inherit are generally strong, and it's rare for them to inherit poor talents, with many being amongst the top talents in the universe.
These are the riches left to them by their ancestors, the result of generations of their family's efforts.
For a natural Nirvana Being like Di Esi, it's due to countless generations of the Supreme Clan evolving their top talents continuously, making it almost impossible to pass on poor talents to him.
For someone like Lin Shen, beginning from the lowest level and evolving upwards, no matter how strong he himself is, his offspring could still only ascend from the lowest level.
```
If Lin Shen's spouse and descendants, as well as their spouses, are all of top-level talent, by the time they can give birth to natural Crystal Base or Ascenders, there's a possibility they could inherit these top-level talents from their ancestors.
Just in case the descendants are not up to par, with each generation being weaker than the last and lacking top-level talents, then even if humans evolve to the point where they can give birth to natural Crystal Base beings, it would still be hard to obtain top-level talents.
Feng Feitian is a positive example. The Phoenix Clan has evolved over countless generations to eventually enable infants to be born as top-level Ascension bodies, possessing many top-level talents. Feng Feitian himself is exceptional, inheriting the top-level talents and Life Base.
The three who had witnessed the Asura Ghost King unable to make much difference against Feng Feitian all felt that this trip might have really been in vain.
While those watching the battle were also marveling at the strength of the Phoenix Clan and Feng Feitian, they suddenly saw a figure rush out of the cave.
Initially thought to be Huang Feiwu escaping with the Pet Eggs, a closer look revealed it was indeed Huang Feiwu, but not only did she not have the Pet Eggs, she appeared to be in a very sorry state.
There were multiple wounds on her Golden Feather Armor, but these wounds were not bleeding; they seemed frozen over.
However, some of the wounds were very deep, making the bones within visible.
Huang Feiwu stumbled out, her body clearly a bit unresponsive and even somewhat shivering.
After she burst out, she immediately rushed toward Feng Feitian, who was also stunned and quickly moved to meet her.
Then another figure charged out of the cave; it was a creature slightly shorter than the Asura Ghost King but still much taller than an average human.
Unlike the Asura Ghost King, this creature was completely white, as if carved from mutton-fat jade, with snow-white armor covering its body and bearing an enchanting posture, its face as beautiful as an exquisitely carved artwork by a master sculptor.
In her hands, she also held a Life Base. In her right hand was a crystal-clear, translucent knife, and in her left was a similarly made fork. They seemed like a dining knife and fork, but on a larger scale.
The wounds on Huang Feiwu's body had clearly come from the knife in this creature's hands. On that sparkling blade, there were specks of red crystal, which were congealed blood.
"What is that? Another Asura Ghost King?" Lin Shen asked, looking at Bing Leiya and Di Esi in confusion.
"I've never heard of any other Nirvana Creatures inside. Those who entered before didn't encounter this creature. Where she came from, I don't know," Bing Leiya was equally astonished.
"It's probably also an Asura Ghost King, just of a different gender," said Di Esi, staring at the creature that had just emerged.
"Nirvana Creatures have genders?" Lin Shen had always thought that Base Variant Creatures reproduced asexually.
"Most Base Variant Creatures reproduce asexually, but there are exceptions," Di Esi explained, "I've previously encountered two Undying Creatures, one male and one female, and their method of reproduction was similar to ours."
"If the male's the Ghost King, then the female must be the Asura Ghost Queen. It seems her abilities differ from the Ghost King's," Lin Shen observed the fight.
In the two-on-two battle, Huang Feiwu and Feng Feitian were surprisingly at a disadvantage, getting suppressed by the Ghost King and Ghost Queen.
Huang Feiwu's injuries were indeed a factor, but a key reason for the disadvantage was the Ghost Queen's abilities, which were completely different from the Ghost King's yet complemented each other, greatly enhancing their combat strength and even surpassing Huang Feiwu and Feng Feitian's coordination in battle.
