This is the imagery of the past brought about by the remnants of battle, not a journey back tens of thousands of years.

Yu Feiling said that this was a trial in a sense, and it was indeed so. Here, one could experience and observe the imagery of the ancient battle between dragons and phoenixes, which was indeed a very good learning and comprehension experience for those who cultivated related Cultivation Method.

It wouldn't be of much use to Qin Yi; there's no need for the ancient Nose-Hole Person to learn the dragon and phoenix Demon Cultivator. If it were pythons or birds that came in, they'd probably be overjoyed.

The prerequisite is that you have to be able to withstand it!

In reality, this manifests as a battle between overwhelming Dragon Breath and blazing flames, where an outsider suddenly intrudes, like a little Rabbit running into the middle of two tigers fighting. The two tigers stare at it, asking, "What's going on with you, little brother?"

Although not as powerful as the battle against the ancient true forms, the remaining power is still terrifying, just like the lingering Curse of Death and Extinction of Liusu, which crushed the Demon King like an ant. Qin Yi is far stronger than the Demon King of that time; he won't be killed so easily, but he is still in considerable danger.

It is indeed a place that Shining Sun Completion can attempt to enter. The information provided by Yu Feiling is quite accurate.

Strictly speaking, Qin Yi is not as good as Shining Sun Completion at this point, but he can make up for it with his methods.

A surge of Dragon Breath rushed towards him. Qin Yi let out a shout, and his Gang Qi formed a wall in front of him, while raging flames rose up below. Qin Yi then stomped down with his foot.

With a loud "boom!", in the bottomless void of the cave, as this foot stepped down, it seemed as if a red lotus bloomed beneath his feet.

In ancient imagery, the tiny, ant-like figure before the dragon's eyes grew larger and larger in the wind, until in the blink of an eye it Heaven-Supporting Earth-Trampling, its enormous hands outstretched, forcefully supporting the dragon's jaws. Its feet trod upon crimson lotuses, and amidst raging flames, it cleaved the earth and sky, holding up the sun and moon.

Phoenix Cry came from behind, Phoenix Fire feathers circled around the back of the giant's neck.

Qin Yi gritted his teeth, a ferocious fighting spirit suddenly appearing on his face.

Then, with a cracking sound on the back of its neck, a second head grew out, splitting into a second upper body, also wielding Wolf Tooth Club with both hands, and swept it horizontally.

Divine Ability, Three Heads Six Arms.

Now we only have two... that's enough.

Phoenix feathers fell one by one, transforming into flames in the void that scorched the Milky Way and then spread rapidly, as if all the stars in the sky had become burning suns.

Qin Yi got carried away with the fight and even put away his Wolf Tooth Club. With his hands supporting the dragon's jaw in front and his hands holding the phoenix's beak behind, his muscles bulged and rippled as he strode forward amidst the rain of fire.

Despite bearing the immense pressure of the dragon and phoenix, it appeared as if he were dragging them forward with great strides. One could almost hear the low growl in his throat, like the roar of a giant.

The Liusu and the dog inside the ring both looked somewhat dazed.

Because Qin Yi is really incompatible with this kind of heroic spirit... Although Liusu has seen Qin Yi unleash his fierce spirit many times, she still feels very uncomfortable every time she sees it.

Normally he appears elegant and refined in his flowing blue robes, but when he gets into a fight, he transforms into a barbarian from ancient times. It seems that the mere stimulation of the battle's heat can activate the fighting spirit rooted in his very bones.

Who exactly is the ancient person here...? That Wolf Tooth Club would be perfect for him, wouldn't it?

In reality, within the cave, Qin Yi simply flexed his muscles and strode deeper into the cave. The surrounding Gale Wind, Dragon Might, Phoenix Fire assaulted his entire body, yet he seemed oblivious. A deep cave path was transformed into a fiery trail, and with each step, a lotus of flame rose from the void.

Although the scene lacked the imposing power of a giant Capture Dragon and Phoenix as imagined, it was still quite impressive.

Being handsome comes at a price. In fact, Qin Yi's body was covered in bloodstains, and he was injured beyond recognition by the breath of the dragon and phoenix battle. His muscles even showed the marks of torn flesh and bones, and there were many places that were burned beyond recognition. He looked very ferocious at first glance.

He was ultimately not the true Shining Sun Completion, much less the Qian Yuan.

But he acted as if he didn't feel anything and stubbornly charged down into the deepest part of the cave, towards the fiery red phoenix feathers.

Liusu, recalling the Frost Cave of the Demon City back then, where he had also risked his life.

That time, it was to accept Cheng Cheng's test, but in reality, it was for Qing Jun's sake.

Whose test is this, and for whom?

Dog squatted down to the side and said, "He's really going all out... Our souls can't handle this kind of residual energy... Do you want to think of another way to help him? I don't have many options; this place is suppressed by the forbidden area's formation, so I can't use my abilities."

Liusu shook her head. "If we could make contact with Feng Yu, things would probably be better. Right now, this is just pure battle intent remnant without any enemies, and it's actual damage rather than at the soul level... I don't have a physical body, and I'm being suppressed, so there aren't many options. I can only rely on my main body Wolf Tooth Club, to help."

"He even took away the Wolf Tooth Club." Gouzi clicked his tongue. "I really didn't expect this kid to risk his life for the Feathered One."

The Liusu remained silent.

For the Feathered People?

Phoenix feathers are what the Feathered People need, that's true... but this is actually just a test set up by the Feathered People, and Qin Yi didn't come for that.

What is the real purpose?

It was to build a tree.

It's for the Liusu!

Since Qin Yi left the Rift Valley, almost everything he has done has been for the sake of Liusu.

The cave is of unknown depth. Even from the entrance, one can see the fiery red light illuminating the interior, but in reality, a phoenix feather is buried thousands of feet deep, very, very far away.

Amidst Qin Yi's burning fighting spirit, a thought still flashed through his mind: If the world he was in was spherical, and this was already the bottom of the deep sea, and it continued to go even deeper, where exactly was he? The Earth's core? If the heavens were flat and the earth square, would he have to pass through it, or... go straight to the underworld?

The thought flashed through my mind, and the phoenix feather was already before me. The entire feather resembled a burning flame, forming its shape. It was over a foot long and incredibly beautiful. The location wasn't a passageway, but a vast, open space, with flames swirling in the darkness, like an alternate void.

This cave was formed by a phoenix feather shooting in, so there wasn't a specific point where the resistance was strongest; the entire passage was the same—once you passed through, you passed through. At the bottom of the passage, due to a powerful energy burst, a void-like area formed, no longer solid ground.

That doesn't matter. The real final test is whether he can pick up the phoenix feather, or whether he will be violently rejected like the Dragon Son once he does.

Qin Yi reached out, first wrapping his hand with the Vermilion Bird Flame in an attempt to obtain the commonalities of the Phoenix Fire, and then grabbed the Phoenix Feather.

The phoenix feather initially emitted a strong sense of repulsion, almost causing me to drop it. But soon, a familiar aura seemed to emanate from my Dantian, extremely similar to the aura of the phoenix feather in my hand, comforting me like a sister.

The repulsive vibrations from the phoenix feather quickly disappeared, and the fiery red divine light slowly faded away. The entire cave gradually fell into darkness, with only the foot-long feather in Qin Yi's palm faintly emitting a red glow.

Phoenix Feather seemed to possess a strange consciousness, unable to discern what Qin Yi was.

Why does it contain both the spirit of a dragon and the spirit of a phoenix?

Qin Yi was too exhausted to answer its questions; only now did he realize that he was completely worn out.

Blood was flowing from his entire body, and in some places the bones were exposed, while in others the flesh was burned beyond recognition... If it weren't for the powerful Myriad Demons Magic Robe, his injuries would have been much more severe, and he might not have been able to make it into this abyss.

Most likely not.

Thank you, Cheng Cheng...

Exhausted, Qin Yi sat on the ground, intending to take out medicine to treat his injuries.

But as soon as I sat down, I realized that the ground beneath me was hollow; this really wasn't solid ground...

If you blast downwards with force, there's definitely still a world to be discovered!

Where does it lead?

The Earth's core or the underworld?

Qin Yi swallowed a pill, not having the time to explore further. If he really wanted to investigate, he needed to heal his injuries first.

Before the medicine could even take effect, a terrifying aura suddenly appeared on the way, as if something was rapidly approaching.

Qin Yi felt a chill run down his spine.

Who can enter this Dragon Breath cave?

Dragon Son?
