Everyone Escapes, Server Shutdown Update! (This Chapter's Comments Are Important)

Yang Shan faced immense pressure alone against two Seventh Order Peak Thousand Beast King.

But inside the secret realm, Su Yitang was under even more pressure than Yang Shan!

After all, behind her was a Seventh Order Peak Heavenly Demon Phoenix!

It's important to understand that, according to the game's background, setting aside some "individuals" formed by chance, the existing races, apart from the Ancient Void Dragon Clan which is an ancient Ancient Beast, are at most Ancient Beast.

Ancient Beast also vary in strength.

The Heavenly Demon Phoenix can be said to be the pinnacle of all current Ancient Beast races!

Clan Chief Huang Tian's cultivation level is as high as the Late Stage Five Star Dou Sheng! In addition, there are three Dou Sheng who are openly recognized.

Its bloodline has been preserved quite well.

This Seventh Order Peak Heavenly Demon Phoenix could probably even breathe fire at Dou Zun expert!

Fortunately, the Heavenly Demon Phoenix named "Zhi Hong" has now included the Flame Demon Ape, the Shadow Wind Eagle, and Su Yitang as its kill targets.

That Heavenly Demon Phoenix was ridiculously fast; even the Shadow Wind Eagle was far inferior to it.

It's only a matter of time before we get caught up.

What Su Yitang had to do was run ahead of the Flame Demon Ape and the Shadow Wind Eagle! What a coincidence!

Shadow Wind Eagle thought so too! If swearing could kill, Su Yitang and Shadow Wind Eagle would probably have been killed thousands of times by now.

The Flame Demon Ape was the slowest, making it the natural target of the Heavenly Demon Phoenix's attack.

As the Heavenly Demon Phoenix's flames attacked, the Flame Demon Ape instinctively used its own Beast Flame to defend itself.

How could Peak Sixth Tier King of Beasts possibly be a match for Seventh Order Peak Ancient Beast? If the Flame Demon Ape were to complete its bloodline advancement and become the Ancient Beast Zhu Yan, it might be able to barely hold on.

"I'll fight you to the death!"

The Flame Demon Ape roared, forcefully dispersing the Demon Phoenix flames on its body, and a powerful Demon Energy rose around it.

It resolutely turned around and saw the terrifying Demon Energy emanating from the Heavenly Demon Phoenix— one was profound, the other terrifying. Wasn't the difference obvious enough? The Flame Demon Ape knelt on the ground with a thud. "Senior, spare my life! Senior, spare my life! I didn't take your spiritual items; those two behind me took them!"

Because of the delay caused by the Flame Demon Ape, Su Yitang and the Shadow Wind Eagle, Zhu Tianpeng and Chao Bafang who had fled ahead of time, as well as the magical beasts of the Baleful Wolf and Ghost Tiger clans, had all entered the spatial rift one after another.

Zhu Tianpeng rolled out of the spatial rift like a huge ball. He finally managed to stand up, dusted himself off, and cursed:

"Why did those damn planners come up with something so outrageous?"

Voices came from Chao Bafang:

"Tian Peng, come quickly to save me!"

Zhu Tianpeng looked over upon hearing the sound and discovered that Chao Bafang was actually entangled by the Hundred Flame Ghost Tiger.

This Hundred Flame Ghost Tiger is a mid- Seventh Order Thousand Beast King; how could Chao Bafang possibly be its match?

Even with the still incomplete "Heavenly Eagle Cloud Treading" skill, he could only dodge most attacks.

Every time he was hit by the Hundred Flame Ghost Tiger, his Vitality Shield would drop sharply.

"Hang in there, Brother Chao! I'm here to help you!"

Zhu Tianpeng quickly added a layer of water shield to Chao Bafang, then the two Chao Bafang eyes, their gazes mingling, and they exuded a palpable sense of camaraderie. They both said in unison:

"Brothers united, their strength can break metal! Mix water and soil, Cemented Heart!"

Hundred Flame Ghost Tiger scoffed:

"What the hell are you yelling about? Humans, anyone who comes to Black Moon Ridge must die!"

Just as Hundred Flame Ghost Tiger finished uttering his harsh words, he discovered that a large swamp had appeared beneath his feet! Just as Hundred Flame Ghost Tiger was about to make a move, he found that the mud mixed with water in the swamp had already submerged half of his four feet.

Trying to break free, it discovered that the swamp possessed an extremely strange suction force; the more it struggled, the faster it sank! The Hundred Flame Ghost Tiger roared, and fiery wings materialized on its back as it attempted to take flight, but to no avail.

"Do you really think those two mere human Dou Emperor can restrain me?"

The Hundred Flame Ghost Tiger was completely enraged, gathering its innate Beast Flame in its mouth and spitting it towards the swamp.

The fire spread, the swamp hissed, and white mist rose up.

Zhu Tianpeng exclaimed in alarm, "Oh no! My Beast Water has evaporated!"

Chao Bafang cried out, "It's all over! Tian Peng is ruined! Sister Tang, save me!"

Su Yitang burst out of the spatial rift just then. Without saying a word, she unleashed two gusts of Azure Valley Firm Wind to boost the speed of Chao Bafang and Zhu Tianpeng, and then played a melodious tune on her Wind Harp.

Earth Tier Low Grade restricted Dou Technique – "Bewitching Tune"! It uses sound waves to construct illusions, arousing the opponent's desire for beauty.

Hundred Flame Ghost Tiger's eyes gradually became glazed over.

"Trying to leave?"

Although the Ghoul Wolf Clan and the Ghost Tiger Clan have a bad relationship, if any human cultivators come to Black Moon Ridge, the two clans will still stand united against them.

Hundred Thunder Fiend Wolf felt there was absolutely no need to take action against a mere Dou Emperor, so he simply watched the show from the sidelines.

It is clear that as soon as Su Yitang appeared, she caused Hundred Flame Ghost Tiger to fall into an illusion, Hundred Thunder Fiend Wolf could no longer stand idly by.

But at that moment, the magical beast forces of both races rushed out from the spatial rift in the passage.

Upon seeing this, Su Yitang quickly used her Wind Harp to unleash thousands of gusts of wind, aiming them directly at Fiend Little Three.

Driven by a fierce desire to protect his offspring, Hundred Thunder Fiend Wolf had no choice but to first shield Fiend Little Three in front of him.

When she turned back, Su Yitang had already fled with Chao Bafang and Zhu Tianpeng! The Hundred Thunder Fiend Wolf bared its teeth in anger, raised its head and howled, sending a message to the Thousand Thunder Evil Wolf King: "My King, return immediately!"

"Go back to your grandpa immediately!"

The Thousand Thunder Evil Wolf King cursed under his breath, then roared at Yang Shan:

"Three sixth-tier Essence Spirit Crystal, that's all!"

The Thousand Flame Ghost Tiger King, standing to the side, was quite pleased with its old rival's current impotent rage. It continued to fan the flames, saying, "Tsk tsk tsk, you mongrel wolf, is this all you have?"

"Stupid black cat, stop arguing with me. Don't force me to fight you again later! Don't think I'm still the same as before!"

The Thousand Thunder Evil Wolf King transformed into human form, and the ring on his thumb flashed with a faint light, releasing three Essence Spirit Crystal into his hand. "I'll count to three, and we'll throw them all away together. Either give me back my child, or I'll chase you to the ends of the earth and tear you to pieces!"

Yang Shan did not expect that the Thousand Thunder Evil Wolf King was so stingy as the Thousand Flame Ghost Tiger King, and was only willing to take out three sixth-order Essence Spirit Crystal.

That's fine, since the only "hostage" he has is Sha Xiao Er.

"Three, two, one!"

Yang Shan and the Thousand Thunder Evil Wolf King simultaneously threw out their "exchange items".

After Thousand Thunder Evil Wolf King caught Sha Xiao Er, he was about to turn around and kill Yang Shan.

But the roar of the Hundred Thunder Fiend Wolf came again, and this time the roar was particularly urgent. The Thousand Thunder Evil Wolf King gritted his teeth:

"Han Feng, I'll remember you. Don't let me run into you again, or else..."

Seeing that the Thousand Thunder Evil Wolf King had given up fighting Yang Shan, the Thousand Flame Ghost Tiger King still felt regret.

But it doesn't matter, the Thousand Flame Ghost Tiger King still has a chance to settle this grudge personally.

"Heh heh, Han Feng, don't think you can escape just because that bastard doesn't target you, I am your master."

Just as the Thousand Flame Ghost Tiger King was about to utter some harsh words, the Hundred Flame Ghost Tiger's urgent roar also came over.

"What's going on?"

The Thousand Flame Ghost Tiger King was somewhat surprised, but the secret realm could not be lost. The Thousand Flame Ghost Tiger King could only reluctantly spew a mouthful of flame at Yang Shan, and then turn around and leave.

The flames naturally posed no threat to Yang Shan.

The moment the Sea Heart Flame appeared, it suppressed the Beast Flame.

Yang Shan didn't stay in place either. He said in the group chat voice message:

"We'll meet at the Demon Flame City!"

Su Yitang: "Wow, boss~ you're really something, you actually used a clone to enter the secret realm and kept it a secret from us."

Yang Shan: "Isn't this going to test your combat response capabilities? You've put my Storage Ring away safely, haven't you?"

Su Yitang: "I've kept it safe, don't worry!"

Yang Shan's clone in the secret realm had no intention of returning alive, so when he helped Su Yitang stop the Flame Demon Ape and the Shadow Wind Eagle, Su Yitang used a Azure Valley Netherwind to store the clone's Storage Ring in her own possession.

Zhu Tianpeng: "I was wondering how Brother Yang knew what happened in our secret realm. I even thought he was cheating!"

Chao Bafang: "Don't insult the Great God by saying they're cheating; the Great God are even more powerful than cheaters!"

Su Yitang: "Boss, boss, how much good stuff did you manage to get your hands on this time?"

Yang Shan: "You didn't see it?"

Su Yitang: "I want to see it, but this is something you gave me, boss. I definitely can't see it without your permission. What if there's something indescribable inside?"

Yang Shan: "Since you've said that, then you shouldn't look anymore. Just give me the Storage Ring right now!"

Su Yitang quickly begged for forgiveness, "Oh, boss, I was wrong. Please satisfy the curiosity of this lowly employee."

Yang Shan: "Just look at it and send the screenshot to the group chat."

Su Yitang: "Okay!"

When Su Yitang posted that long list of items, the group chat was filled with exclamations of "Holy crap!" from Chao Bafang and Zhu Tianpeng! Eight Potential Spiritual Objects, six foundational spiritual plants! "Wait a minute! Six? Wasn't it five?"

Yang Shan carefully examined the list and found items that did not belong in his Storage Ring.

Six-Leaf Phoenix Blood Flower (Rare and Precious)

Type: Foundation Spiritual Object

Grade: Rank 6

Effect: Enhances the foundation for upgrading from Dou Huang Peak to Three-Star Dou Zong! Special Effect: When the foundation reaches perfection, absorption can break the upper limit and obtain "Supreme Foundation"! How to Use: Swallow directly and circulate the cultivation technique for slow absorption. (It is recommended to automate this process while AFK.) Restrictions: Any spiritual root ≥20, level reaches Nine Star Dou Huang.

Introduction: Phoenix Blood Flower is a special spiritual plant cultivated by Ancient Beast with the blood of the Phoenix. The more stems and leaves a wild beast has, the higher its grade! Ancient Beast with the Phoenix bloodline often cultivate Phoenix Blood Flower to help them break through when they encounter a bottleneck, or they use it to cultivate their offspring.

Because the Phoenix Blood Flower is effective against any Ancient Beast with Phoenix bloodline, there are no restrictions on attribute requirements, which allows other creatures to also harness its medicinal power for their own use!

Yang Shan laughed and said, "Good heavens! No wonder the Heavenly Demon Phoenix. She was planning to cultivate this Phoenix Blood Flower to seven leaves so that she could break through to the Dou Zun. But you, you only got six leaves before she picked it!"

Su Yitang: "That's right! I received a system notification that although that Heavenly Demon Phoenix doesn't know what I look like, it has remembered my aura fluctuations. It has 80 points of hatred towards me!"

Yang Shan: "Send me the video recording from the secret realm first, and we can talk more when we meet up in Demon Flame City!"

Su Yitang: "Okay!"

Through Su Yitang's first-person video recording, Yang Shan finally learned what happened deep within that secret realm.

Su Yitang transformed into Thunder Ghoul Wolf, following behind Fiend Little Three, with the Flame Demon Ape and Shadow Wind Eagle leading the charge ahead.

A large wave of magical beasts arrived deep into the secret realm, only to discover that at the end of the desert was actually an oasis! And the most peculiar thing about this oasis was that in the very center stood a truly towering tree! Its height was so great that it could almost reach the clouds.

Its canopy was so enormous that it blocked out the sunlight for miles around. (Some smaller worlds get their sunlight directly from the main world, rather than creating their own mini-suns.) And the Heavenly Demon Phoenix named "Zhi Hong" perched atop the canopy.

However, that Heavenly Demon Phoenix seemed to have the ability to conceal its aura and shrink its size. Even when Su Yitang initially used the detection function, the result was only that it was Peak Sixth Tier King of Beasts.

The Flame Demon Ape and Shadow Wind Eagle, who were at the forefront, immediately began searching for treasures in the oasis.

Ghost Little Four and Fiend Little Three also led their respective groups of magical beasts in pursuit.

There were countless spiritual creatures along the way, including even Seventh Order spiritual creatures.

Finally, the group of magical beasts came across a spring, and right in the center of that spring grew the Six-Leaf Phoenix Blood Flower! The rest was simple.

The Flame Demon Ape and the Shadow Wind Eagle did not take the Heavenly Demon Phoenix, whose aura had been concealed, seriously. Although they did not recognize the Six-Leaf Phoenix Blood Flower, they could judge its extraordinary nature based on the perception of the King of Beasts.

The two King of Beasts clashed, drawing the attention of the Baleful Wolf and Ghost Tiger Clan.

Su Yitang then used the Azure Valley Netherwind to activate the "Connecting Cloud Tune" and took advantage of the chaos to steal the Six-Leaf Phoenix Blood Flower.

Chao Bafang and Zhu Tianpeng then unleashed their latest attribute fusion skill as "Best Friend":

Cemented Heart Version 4.0: Uprooted!

This method is relatively simple and practical: change the water-to-soil ratio on the ground to make the soil exceptionally loose.

Enveloped in Beast Water and Beast Soil, the affected spiritual plants were pulled out by the roots and soil without any damage to the roots or stems, maximizing the efficiency of herb gathering!

But in the eyes of Fiend Little Three and Ghost Little Four, these spiritual plants should have been theirs for the taking.

Unexpectedly, a traitor appeared in the team! Fiend Little Three and Ghost Little Four were furious.

The plucking of the Six-Leaf Phoenix Blood Flower finally awakened the Heavenly Demon Phoenix, which seemed to be in a deep slumber.

And so, a thrilling battle royale unfolded in the secret realm! Looking at the description of the Six-Leaf Phoenix Blood Flower, Yang Shan became even more certain that this secret realm would definitely be a large-scale resource secret realm that would be opened to all players in the future!

Otherwise, they wouldn't have specially designed such a Precious Grade Foundation Spiritual Object that doesn't require any specific spiritual root attribute! Medusa's Seven-Colored Flame Crystal does have attribute requirements because only Yang Shan and Xiao Aotian participated in Medusa's transformation storyline! On his way to Demon Flame City, Yang Shan's thoughts gradually shifted from what he gained to thinking about future development.

He originally thought that the Seventh Order Peak Thousand Beast King was the biggest problem he would face in the Black-Corner Region.

Now, an even more Ancient Beast, the Heavenly Demon Phoenix, has appeared!

With his current strength, he can't even defeat the Heavenly Demon Phoenix, let alone the Thousand Flame Ghost Tiger King and the Thousand Thunder Evil Wolf King. Unless Su Yitang, Chao Bafang, and Zhu Tianpeng can all break through to the Dou Zong level with at least a perfect foundation, he will have no chance of fighting. He might even need to acquire more Potential Spiritual Objects to level up.

However, given the current resource output of the Black-Corner Region, "In the next version, I might really have to sneak off to Central Plains to study!"
