Overwhelming Suppression

Buzz! The majestic aura of the Seven Star Dou Zun swept across this world, and Xiao Yuan, dressed in white, was surrounded by golden flames, like a great sun, blazing and dazzling.

"The Heavenly Flame Three Mysterious Transformations of Burning Flame Valley actually possesses such power?"

Upon witnessing this scene, Feng Qing'er, who was unable to move due to Xiao Yuan's terrifying aura, was filled with disbelief.

The Heavenly Flame Three Mysterious Transformations of Burning Flame Valley was not a skill she had never seen before.

But even the Burning Flame Valley Master could not possibly raise his strength by three stars in a row, right?

As for Elder Huang Xuan, a Five Star Dou Zun, his heart was also extremely heavy.

With his keen eye, it was not difficult for him to see that Xiao Yuan's Heavenly Flame Three Mysterious Transformations were probably performed using three different kinds of Heavenly Flames as materials. This alone was enough to horrify him.

It should be understood that even Five Star Dou Zun would never be able to forcibly control three Heavenly Flames at the same time.

Xiao Yuan is only Four Star Dou Zun, yet he was able to do this, and even when he used the Heavenly Flame Three Mysterious Transformations, he was still so at ease!

This kid is probably not easy to deal with! We've really bitten off more than we can chew today.

"Come on, one person take one of my seals!"

Xiao Yuan looked down at the Heaven Demon Phoenix Clan members, his voice as deep and resonant as the echo of an ancient bell, causing a sense of mental oppression to those who heard it.

The next moment, Xiao Yuan changed his hand seals. A Mountain Splitting Seal smashed towards the members of the Heaven Demon Phoenix Clan, while the Earth Overturning Seal and the Sea Flipping Seal smashed towards the patriarchs of the two affiliated families of the two Two Star Dou Zun. Finally, the Sky Annihilation Seal flew towards Elder Huang Xuan.

Then, Xiao Yuan stood with his hands behind his back in the sky. In his eyes, the outcome was already clear.

In his Seven Star Dou Zun state, when Emperor Imprint Skill, even a strong person of equal strength would have to take it seriously, let alone these scruffy birds whose strength was vastly different from Huang Xuan's. Xiao Yuan alone suppressed the Heaven Demon Phoenix Clan so much that they could hardly resist. Wherever the dazzling Crystal Layer Handprint passed, space was distorted. Without any surprises, except for Huang Xuan, almost everyone else was smashed into mincemeat!

As for Huang Xuan, even though he used his true form and his trump card, he was still hit by Xiao Yuan's Sky Annihilation Seal, which caused most of his body to explode. His breath was weak and he was almost dead.

"Huh? Is Feng Qing'er that important to your Heaven Demon Phoenix Clan?"

Xiao Yuan suddenly raised an eyebrow and realized that Feng Qing'er had already escaped from the shattered space under the cover of the Heaven Demon Phoenix Clan.

Given the speed of the Heavenly Demon Phoenix, escaping would be incredibly swift, especially since Feng Qing'er's body was burning with purple blood, clearly indicating some kind of secret technique.

There was no time to give chase, Xiao Yuan didn't bother with it. For Feng Qing'er, a Dou Zong, to escape at that speed in the shattered space, it was extremely difficult for her to even survive.

"You've stolen the spotlight again."

Cai Lin flew up and hummed softly.

"Hehe, it just saves me some trouble."

Xiao Yuan casually deactivated the Heavenly Flame Three Mysterious Transformations technique and flew down.

At this moment, Zi Yan had also obtained the Dragon Phoenix Origin Fruit. She walked over with a smile, opened her palm, and there was a pattern there, which was none other than the Dragon Phoenix Origin Fruit.

"This thing has terrifying energy, so I can only seal it in my body temporarily. I'll have to ask the clan elders to deal with it later. Thank you so much for this."

After saying this, Zi Yan gave Xiao Yuan a flirtatious wink as a reward.

Cai Lin was already used to this, and she actually quite liked her little sister, Zi Yan.

"Come on, if you really want to reward me, why don't you come and help me?"

Seeing this, Xiao Yuan rolled his eyes at Zi Yan, then pointed to the ground.

"What's the meaning?"

Zi Yan blinked, not understanding.

"Fool, these are the remains of Ancient Heavenly Phoenix, with many uses, so of course we have to dig them up. As for the Ancient Void Dragon, it is still an elder of your clan. You should take it back to your clan so that it can rest in peace!"

Xiao Yuan pinched Zi Yan's cheek and said in an annoyed tone.

"Oh, that makes sense."

Zi Yan nodded upon hearing this. She originally wanted to order Xiong Zhan around, but then realized that the pressure from the Ancient Void Dragon skeleton below was too great for a magical beast like her that possessed some Dragon Bloodline. So she had no choice but to do the work of digging out the bones herself.

After all that fuss, Xiao Yuan happily packed a large amount of Heavenly Demon Phoenix flesh and blood, as well as the skeleton of the Ancient Heavenly Phoenix, and led everyone away from the Beast Spirit Cover.

"One of them just escaped, and I'm a little worried. If she succeeded in sending out the price information, it could cause a lot of trouble. It seems I also have to send a message to the clan: the Dragon Phoenix Origin Fruit must not fall into the hands of the Heaven Demon Phoenix Clan under any circumstances."

On the way, Zi Yan said with a solemn expression. This was the first time in so many years that Xiao Yuan had seen this girl so serious. It seemed that the Dragon Phoenix Origin Fruit was extremely important to her.

"Yes, it would be good if the Ancient Void Dragon could send out a powerful member of its clan to provide assistance."

Xiao Yuan nodded slightly.

As they spoke, they could vaguely hear the sounds of fierce fighting and beast roars coming from within the forest, which must have been the treasure hunters who had broken in.

"Let's leave this place first. We've taken almost everything we need. It's time to go check out other places. The commotion here is getting bigger and bigger, and sooner or later it will alert those powerful magical beasts deep in the forest. If some Dou Zun Peak magical beasts appear, it will be troublesome if we get entangled with them."

After Xiao Yuan finished speaking, he didn't linger. He moved and flashed away along the way he came, with Zi Yan and the others quickly following behind.

As they flew along, they encountered many powerful treasure hunters. They seemed somewhat surprised to see Xiao Yuan and his group heading out of the forest. Some of the more astute among them saw them emerge from the depths of the forest and their eyes flickered as if they had thought of something. However, due to the formidable strength of Xiao Yuan's group, they had no choice but to suppress their ill intentions.

They sped along the route they had come from, attracting many stares but encountering no obstacles. So, about twenty minutes later, Xiao Yuan and his group reappeared at the Stone Gate where they had entered the area.

The seal on the Stone Gate was intact, clearly indicating that Xiao Yuan's seal was very difficult to break.

They casually closed the seal, then opened the Stone Gate and rushed out. They then tightly closed the Stone Gate again, reopened the seal, and sealed the Stone Gate shut.

In the spacious corridor, everyone looked at the tightly closed Stone Gate, then at the already messy corridor and the pavilions on both sides, and couldn't help but shake their heads with wry smiles. These guys are too barbaric.

"Where to now?"

Cai Lin looked at Xiao Yuan and asked.

"Let's go inside; the real treasure should be in the center of the main hall."

Xiao Yuan pondered for a moment, then looked up to determine the direction, and quickly walked towards the other end of the corridor. Seeing this, Zi Yan and the others hurriedly followed.

These corridors had clearly been thoroughly ransacked when Xiao Yuan and his group entered the Ancient Forest. The surrounding area was not only in a mess, but the originally tidy pavilions were also destroyed like ruins, making people shake their heads in disbelief.

Seeing that the road had been destroyed like this, Xiao Yuan and the others lost interest in taking a closer look and immediately quickened their pace, heading towards the center of the main hall.

During his hurried journey, Xiao Yuan encountered many teams searching for treasures, and what puzzled him was that these guys all seemed to be heading in a certain direction.

Upon seeing this scene, Xiao Yuan and the others were slightly moved. They exchanged glances, nodded slightly, and followed the group.

It's a medicinal pill.

After following the group through several corridors, Xiao Yuan suddenly caught a familiar scent. His heart skipped a beat, and he whispered, "It's a very strong smell of pills. It seems there are quite a few pills. If I'm not mistaken, it should be a pill storage Pill Chamber."

"Oh?"

Upon hearing the word "elixir," everyone's hearts stirred. In this world, elixir has always possessed immense allure, especially since the elixir here was once left behind by a Dou Sheng Expert, which amplified its allure even further.

"Hehe, let's go. I'm quite curious about these ancient elixirs. It'll be a good opportunity to see them."

Seeing the expressions on everyone's faces, Xiao Yuan knew they were somewhat tempted. Moreover, Qing Lian also needed Pill Beast to detoxify her. Therefore, he lightly touched the ground with his toes and suddenly increased his speed, instantly overtaking the teams in front of him. Behind him, Cai Lin and the others also pushed their speed to the limit. Under the temptation of the ancient elixir, everyone seemed to have become full of energy.

The corridors inside the main hall were like a maze, but fortunately, Xiao Yuan relied on the scent of the pills and after more than ten minutes, his speed finally slowed down. In front of them, an ancient-looking palace stood, with two large, elegant characters on it.

"The Pill Hall!"

Xiao Yuan muttered something under his breath, then looked down. The main gate of the Pill Hall had already been smashed open, and he could vaguely see many figures frantically searching inside.

Let's go.

Xiao Yuan gave a shout and rushed into the spacious hall. The first floor of the Pill Hall was in a mess. Figures barged into the pill refining rooms like bandits, plundering everything they could see. Occasionally, fierce battles would break out over the pills.

Xiao Yuan glanced casually at the first floor, then lost interest. With a wave of his hand, he swept into the Pill Hall, found the stairs to the top, and went directly to the second floor.

The moment they entered the second level of the Pill Hall, Xiao Yuan flicked his arm, and golden flames enveloped everyone.

"There's poison in this second level!" Xiao Yuan's expression hardened. He had personally experienced the full effects of the Woeful Poison Body, so this small amount of poison naturally wouldn't escape his notice. He took out several Poison Pill pills he usually refined from his Storage Ring and handed them to everyone to take. Only then did Xiao Yuan say, "This Pill Hall has three levels. This is only the second level. I suppose the real treasures are on the third level. However, since there is poison in the second level, the third level will probably not be safe either. Everyone should be careful later."

Hearing Xiao Yuan's reminder, everyone nodded.

The group conducted a cursory search of the second floor, finding only some pills of relatively low grade, indicating that someone had already gotten there first.

After searching for a while without finding anything unexpected, Xiao Yuan and the others had no choice but to give up. They searched for the passage to the third floor, reminded each other again, and then entered.

The third floor of this Pill Hall is extremely spacious, with numerous alchemy rooms of considerable size all around. In terms of decoration and grandeur, it far surpasses the two floors below.

Looking around, one could vaguely see some figures on this third level. The auras of these people were all extremely strong, with the weakest being at the Dou Zong level. Of course, without some skill, entering this third level would only lead to certain death.

Xiao Yuan and his group, who suddenly entered this place, undoubtedly attracted a lot of attention, but no one came over to chat with them. Everyone here was wary of each other.

"I wonder if there are any legendary Rank 9 Pill on this third floor? If there are, that would be truly insane."

Heavenly Flame Venerable glanced around at the pill-making rooms and smiled.

"It's unlikely that there will be Rank 9 Pill. Even for Dou Sheng Expert, pills of that grade are extremely rare."

Xiao Yuan smiled, casually found a pill-making room that was still unoccupied, and slowly walked in.

The alchemy room was quite large, and since it hadn't been visited by anyone else yet, it still looked clean and tidy. After searching around, Xiao Yuan found an ancient medicine prescription. He glanced at it briefly and then put it into his Storage Ring. He didn't have time to examine these things in detail right now.

Besides the prescription, there was also an unopened bottle of pills. Judging from the faint fragrance emanating from them, it should be Grade 7 Pill. However, its effects were not described on the label, and Xiao Yuan couldn't tell for the time being.

After looting the pill room, Xiao Yuan and his group moved on to another pill room, visiting nearly eight more in a row. Although they didn't find any major surprises, they still made some gains. Moreover, some ancient medicinal formulas were quite to Xiao Yuan's liking. For an alchemist like him, sometimes the formulas are far more valuable than the pills themselves.

"Creak."

Pushing open the door to another alchemy room tucked away in a corner, Xiao Yuan and the others slowly entered. Their eyes swept around, and they frowned. Compared to the other alchemy rooms, this one was undoubtedly much narrower, and judging from its messy state, it seemed to have already been visited.

Let's go.

After glancing around, Xiao Yuan lost interest, waved his hand, and was about to turn and leave when a white figure suddenly darted through the messy alchemy room.

The sudden appearance of the white shadow startled Xiao Yuan and the others. Their internal Dou Qi circulated almost instantly. They looked in the direction of the white shadow and were all stunned. It turned out to be a small beast covered in white fur. The beast resembled a cat, but its body was unusually plump and round, looking quite chubby. However, there was no energy fluctuation in its body, and it seemed to be just an ordinary small beast.

"Call"

Xiao Yuan and the others breathed a sigh of relief, their tense hearts easing. They glanced at the round little creature and were about to leave when a thought suddenly struck them. Something was wrong. This was Ancient Ruins; how could there be a small beast that, apart from being cute and plump, didn't even have any energy fluctuations? Frowning slightly, Xiao Yuan turned his gaze back to the round little creature, staring intently at it. His soul power surged forth, and then, as if suddenly realizing something, his eyes widened like copper bells almost instantly.

Upon seeing Xiao Yuan's expression, Cai Lin and the others were taken aback, as this was the first time they had ever seen Xiao Yuan with such an expression.

However, before Cai Lin and the others could ask, Xiao Yuan had already spoken up, saying, "Good heavens, this thing looks like Pill Beast!"
