After obtaining the Soul Infant Fruit, Huo Xuan quickly left the lake, his gaze fixed intently on the depths of the forest.
"Perhaps the Dragon Phoenix Origin Fruit is there..."
Huo Xuan flashed away and dashed into the depths of the forest.
The aura of the magical beasts deep in the forest was undoubtedly more ferocious than that outside. However, to Huo Xuan, they were only slightly stronger than those outside and posed no threat to his life. After traversing the forest for nearly ten minutes, Huo Xuan gradually slowed down.
He had entered the heart of the Ancient Forest, a flat area with lush green grass, nothing unusual about it, which puzzled Huo Xuan.
Could his premonition be wrong? Could the Dragon Phoenix Origin Fruit not be here?
Huo Xuan was not giving up. He felt that something was wrong. He casually waved his hand and sent a Dou Qi towards the space in front of him. However, just as the Dou Qi reached the Void Space half a foot away from him, a golden light suddenly appeared out of thin air.
Huo Xuan stared at the suddenly appearing golden light, a hint of astonishment flashing across his eyes. The golden light was shaped like an inverted bowl, round at the top and bottom, with an area of about ten feet. Although the golden light was dazzling, it was obscured by the layers of trees, and it would be impossible to notice it unless you got very close.
Looking at the golden light shield in front of him, Huo Xuan's eyes were filled with solemnity. He felt a sense of oppression from this mysterious golden light shield, and he knew that with his current strength, he probably couldn't break through this strange golden light shield.
"Beast Spirit Shroud!"
Huo Xuan gently stroked the golden light shield and quickly learned its origin: it was the Beast Spirit Shroud!
Only extremely powerful magical beasts can condense this Beast Spirit Shroud when they are about to die.
According to the original novel, there is only one Beast Spirit Shroud in this Ancient Ruins. This Beast Spirit Shroud was formed by a Void Ancient Dragon and an Ancient Heavenly Phoenix at the moment of their death.
"The Dragon Phoenix Origin Fruit has finally been found..."
Huo Xuan took out a jade bottle from his Storage Ring, looked at the Beast Spirit Shroud in front of him, and murmured, "This kind of Beast Spirit Shroud can only be opened by those with the same bloodline... I wonder if this amount is enough?"
Upon opening the jade bottle, a drop of Ancient Phoenix Blood Essence, both blue and red, floated out. Under Huo Xuan's control Ancient Phoenix Blood Essence landed on the Beast Spirit Shroud. Moments later, the Beast Spirit Shroud began to ripple rapidly. Then, the golden shield rippled, and a golden crack slowly tore open.
Upon seeing the crack appear, Huo Xuan did not hesitate at all and stepped directly into the Beast Spirit Shroud. As Huo Xuan entered the Beast Spirit Shroud, the Beast Spirit Shroud emitted a golden light. As the golden light disappeared, the crack quickly vanished.
The moment Huo Xuan stepped into the Beast Spirit Shroud, his vision blurred for a moment, but soon his vision returned. However, the lush forest had disappeared, replaced by a desolate plain.
This plain is quite large, covered with crimson sand that looks as if it has been stained with blood. Occasionally, there are patches of pale white, like limestone, within the crimson. Looking into the distance, Huo Xuan discovered that in the center of the plain, there was an ancient stone altar that was a hundred feet tall. A faint but powerful aura emanated from the altar, causing Huo Xuan's fighting Dou Qi to become somewhat blocked at this moment.
"Such terrifying pressure..."
Huo Xuan's gaze was fixed on the giant stone altar in the distance. After a moment, he flashed and flew towards the altar.
Upon getting up close to this massive stone altar, an ancient and weathered aura immediately washes over you. Huo Xuan is located in the middle of the altar, and looking up from here, you can see a blue stone staircase extending to the end.
Huo Xuan's figure transformed into a streak of light, darting across the steps like lightning, and in a few flashes, he appeared at the end of the altar.
Upon reaching the top of the altar, Huo Xuan saw a stone platform in the center of the altar, which was gold and purple in color. On the stone platform, there was a groove about half a foot in size. From within that groove, a sapling grew out of the stone platform. The sapling was no more than the thickness of a thumb, but it was winding and coiled like a giant dragon. At the top of the sapling, a fruit hung.
The fruit is about the size of a palm and is gold and purple in color. Upon closer inspection, you will find that the gold half, winding and twisting, is exactly like an Ancient Void Dragon shrunk countless times, while the purple half is an Ancient Heavenly Phoenix spreading its wings and dancing!
"You're mine now!"
Huo Xuan stared intently at the Dragon Phoenix Origin Fruit and went straight to pick it. But as soon as his palm touched the Dragon Phoenix Origin Fruit -Dragon Phoenix Origin Fruit, it emitted a strong light, and then Huo Xuan Dragon Phoenix Origin Fruit's palm was shaken away by a powerful force.
Faced with the powerful impact, Huo Xuan spat out a mouthful of blood, and his body was also blasted away, almost falling off the altar.
"How could I forget? To obtain the Dragon Phoenix Origin Fruit, one must use the blood of the Void Ancient Dragon or the Heaven Demon Phoenix Clan..."
Huo Xuan wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and thought of how to obtain the Dragon Phoenix Origin Fruit. However, he had used up all the blood of the Void Ancient Dragon that he obtained from Qing Shan when he subdued the Three Thousand Burning Flame.
He only obtained five drops of the Ancient Phoenix Blood Essence. He used one drop to revive Heavenly Flame Venerable, and the clan elders took three drops to refine medicine. He just used the last drop to open the Beast Spirit Shroud.
He currently has no blood of the Void Ancient Dragon or the Heavenly Demon Phoenix in his hands.
This situation is like finding a treasure chest containing rare treasures. You know there are good things in the chest, but just as you're about to open it, you can't find the key to open it.
Huo Xuan felt an indescribable sadness in his heart!
With his gaze shifting from the Dragon Phoenix Origin Fruit, Huo Xuan stood atop the altar, looking down upon the vast plain. Only then did he notice that within the crimson earth lay some pale colors, faintly outlining the skeletons of an extremely large dragon and Heavenly Phoenix!
The massive skeletons, joined end to end, form a perfect circular loop that encircles the plain, with the megalithic altar situated precisely at the center of this circle.
The Ancient Void Dragon and the Ancient Heavenly Phoenix, these supreme magical beasts that almost only exist in legends, are both supreme beings, yet they are irreconcilable enemies. They fight fiercely whenever they meet, and it's either you die or I die. Presumably, they must have experienced an earth-shattering battle, and neither of them could kill the other. In the end, they both perished here with severe injuries. Although they are just skeletons, they are enough to shock people's minds.
Upon seeing the two corpses, Huo Xuan's eyes lit up, as if he had thought of a solution.
"Dragon Phoenix remains? Excellent! We have a solution for obtaining the blood from the Dragon Phoenix Origin Fruit!"
These two Dragon Phoenix remains should contain some essence blood. As long as I extract the blood from the remains, wouldn't the Dragon Phoenix Origin Fruit be within my grasp?
Just as Huo Xuan was about to make a move, his expression suddenly changed. He could sense a violent fluctuation in this space, followed by a surge of numerous auras rushing in at the same time.
"They should be from the Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan."
Without even looking at Huo Xuan, he knew that the people who came were from the Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan. As for those Heavenly Demon Phoenix, Huo Xuan had only one thought in his mind.
"The prey has come to us willingly..."
Huo Xuan then left the altar. He temporarily abandoned the idea of picking the Dragon Phoenix Origin Fruit. It wouldn't be too late to deal with the prey first and then take the Dragon Phoenix Origin Fruit. He swept his right hand through the air, and a spatial rift appeared in front of Huo Xuan.
After Huo Xuan entered the spatial rift, the spatial rift slowly began to heal itself after a short while.
At this moment, a crack was torn open in the Beast Spirit Shroud, and a group of people rushed in like wolves and tigers. Upon closer inspection, it was clear that they were the Heaven Demon Phoenix Clan.
