easily warped the space tunnel.Such a portal, if one were to enter it, who knows where they would be transported to.The secrets hidden deep in the far north were too numerous for Fang Yu to unravel. U...Within the Lingxu, Phoenix Temple.

A fence formed by stone pillars at the edge of the mountaintop, was hit consecutively by the attacks of the River Styx and Han Meiren.

Boom…

The entire mountaintop trembled violently, making the already dilapidated and decaying Temple of Phoenix seem on the verge of collapse.

This shield is pretty tough. Mheihe grinned, a wicked smile on his face.

He, radiating with red energy, is now at his peak state. Every strike he delivers contains terrifying power.

"Brother Ming, please be careful. If you're too reckless, you might collapse the whole mountaintop, and we might miss out on many treasures." Han Meiren said softly from beside him.

It's here. The River Styx narrowed his eyes and stepped back.

Han Mei's face turned serious, and she also stepped back.

A tremendously powerful aura is rapidly approaching their location.

Zhuque flew to the shield, a pair of burning crimson eyes fixed on the two figures outside.

Sure enough, it's these two.

I should have taken care of those two out by the cave entrance earlier!

This place is not for humans to enter! I give you one chance to leave, or else… Zhuque spoke, her tone grave. It carried a warning.

Outside the shield, Meng He and Han Meiren heard this, exchanging glances filled with excitement.

A talking spirit beast... This Phoenix creature, its rank is definitely not low!

This Phoenix-clan creature must be captured no matter what!

Is there anywhere in the world today that humans can't go Don't be so arrogant.

The Styx River gave a cold smile and charged toward the energy shield again. His right fist clenched, bursting with true qi, and he slammed it heavily onto the shield.

Boom...

The shield that bore the brunt of the punch flickered rapidly.

The mountaintop trembled violently, and three stone pillars on the edge burst consecutively!

The defensive formation is about to be overwhelmed!

After all, too much time has passed. These stone pillars, which served as the eyes of the formation, are already quite dilapidated... Plus, the power of the Phoenix is gradually fading away...

If we let the Styx and Cold Beauty attack any longer, the defensive formation will probably collapse!

When it rains, it pours!

Originally, finding the successor who would unlock the Spirit Ruins was a great thing for it. It could finally fulfill the god master's instructions from back then and await the inheritor of the phoenix power.

After completing the inheritance, it retired with its mission accomplished and no longer had to spend countless years in Lingxu.

The current situation, however, has exceeded its expectations.

There is only one inheritor, and the other one is nowhere to be found!

But the two humans before me, obviously have ulterior motives!

Zhu Que absolutely cannot allow two humans to destroy or defile the inheritance of Phoenix power!

Thinking this way, Zhuque directly deactivated the defensive formation!

Zzzt!

The glow on the stone pillar at the mountain's edge vanished instantly.

... Ugh...

Vermilion Bird spread its enormous wings of blazing flames and let out a furious roar to the heavens.

With a flap of its wings, a whirlwind of crimson flames surged towards the Underworld River and Han Meiren ahead.

Mínghé and Hán Méirén didn't expect the shield to suddenly disappear, nor did they expect the opponent's attack to come so quickly!

Faced with the raging inferno and the scorching heat wave, both Meng He and Han Mei Ren's expressions changed.

They knew from the start that this Phoenix clan being was no ordinary creature.

And now the vast wave of fire had cut off their escape route.

To dodge, is already impossible.

He could only use his own true qi to forcibly push these flames away!

Mínghé glanced at Hán Mèi rén, roared, and stretched out his hands, the muscles on his arms straining taut!

Then, he clapped his hands together suddenly!

Bang!

A deafening roar erupted from within the depths of River Styx's being, unleashing a torrent of raw power that surged outwards in every direction!

Those overwhelming fire waves were scattered by most of the burst of true qi.

A few flames are still licking at the air.

Han Mei's face turned cold, and her fair right palm slapped forward.

Whoosh!

A gust of wind swept forward, instantly scattering the remaining flames.

Vermilion Bird stood in mid-air, looking at the two humans before her, a warning bell ringing in her heart.

These two humans' abilities are clearly not weak!

Due to the erosion of time, it is now only at perhaps three percent of its former peak strength!

It won't be easy to deal with these two humans!

"As expected of a Phoenix clan being, even a casual strike holds such terrifying power! Feeling the sudden surge in temperature around him, and the edges of his clothes burning from the intense heat, Ming He narrowed his eyes, his face growing serious."

And on the other side, Han Meiren, besides observing the Suzaku in front of her, also noticed a figure on the high platform behind the Suzaku.

That was a silhouette!

And those two fireballs still hanging in the air... What are they

Han Mei'er released her divine sense, wanting to get a clear look at the two fireballs.

When her divine sense skimmed past the two fireballs, she felt a wave of heat!

It's like being burned by fire. The pain is excruciating!

At the same time, she also felt an overwhelming divine power and a vast amount of spiritual energy!

"This... this is..." Han Mei's face paled, her eyes filled with disbelief.

I can feel the presence of divine power... and now, with this Phoenix creature before me...

It is obvious that this spirit realm belongs to the Phoenix Clan.

And those two fireballs... could very well be the origin of the legendary divine beast, the Phoenix!

"Me, my God... Han Meiren came back to her senses from the surprise. Excitement brought tears to her eyes and she screamed out."

What's wrong Minghe looked at Han Meiren beside him.

The essence of the phoenix is here! The origin of the divine beast, the Phoenix! Han Meiren cried out excitedly, pointing to the high platform of the Phoenix Temple behind Zhuque.

The river of the underworld's face changed, following the direction pointed by Han Meiren, and immediately felt the vast spiritual energy emanating from the two suspended fireballs, as well as the divine power!

Could it really be the Phoenix's essence!

Even if it's not, it must definitely be the origin of an extremely extraordinary spirit beast!

My feelings are like riding a roller coaster, shooting straight to the top!

They originally just wanted to capture a Phoenix clan creature, but if they end up obtaining the essence of the phoenix in the end...

If they could successfully devour them, how many layers would their lifespan and cultivation level increase by!

Unbelievable!

After all, this is most likely the origin of the legendary divine beast, the phoenix!

Seeing the direction of these two people's gazes, and their changing expressions, Zhuque's heart skipped a beat.

Oh no! They noticed the divine essence!

"No problem!" said the Styx.

Boom!

During their conversation, Zhuque opened her mouth and spat out a fire dragon formed from flames, which roared towards the River Styx.

Ah...

The River Styx roared, crossing his arms in front of him, a burst of true qi erupting from his body.

But even so, he was still blasted back dozens of meters by the fire dragon.

Meanwhile, Han Mei Ren seized the opportunity and swiftly charged towards the Phoenix Temple at the rear!

Now, she's completely consumed by thoughts of the divine beast, the Phoenix. She doesn't think about anything else!

Whoosh!

After taking the Blood Spirit Pill, her speed reached an extremely terrifying level, approaching the speed of sound!

In the blink of an eye, she neared the Phoenix Temple!

But Zhuque's speed was even more rapid!

It appeared before Han Mei Ren, above the Phoenix Temple. Its wings beat powerfully!

Han Mei was too slow to dodge and was struck by Zhuque's fiery wings, crashing heavily onto the ground below!

Boom!

Han Mei's body smashed into the ground, creating a massive crater.

Zhuque landed swiftly, using its forelimb claws to strike at Han Meiren fiercely.

Han Mei'er wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth, dodged the attack by leaning to the side, and leaped backward, immediately retreating dozens of meters.

Her face turned solemn as she looked once more at the Vermillion Bird bathing in golden flames above.

"We cannot act alone, we must work together to defeat it! Only then can we claim the Source!" Mheihei flew in from behind and spoke in a grave tone.

At this time, the River Styx's upper body was completely burned away, revealing strong muscles and some black markings.

"Alright! Let's attack together. You keep it occupied at the front, and I'll look for an opportunity to sneak in a surprise attack!" Han Meiren said.

Then, the two flew off the ground together, rushing towards the Zhuque in the air.

...

The Suzaku let out a long, mournful cry and suddenly attacked the two charging towards it!Fengnan's face changed drastically."Whether you're former or current officials, and whether the Broken Mountain Seal is in the hands of the Great Venerable Yin-Yang or the Young Venerable, none of thi...
