Ancestral Soul Showdown
Upon hearing the Black-robed Old Man, Huang Xuan, give a stern order to kill an Ancient Void Dragon, the faces of Thunder Venerate, the Earth Tiger Clan Leader, the Silver Moon Wolf Clan Leader, and others trembled violently, their eyes instantly filled with immense fear.
Ancient Void Dragon!
For this mysterious and powerful supreme race of the Magical Beast World, which exists almost only in ancient legends, there is probably no force or strong person in the entire Dou Qi Continent who does not feel a deep-seated fear and tremor in their souls!
This race is small in number and elusive, but each member possesses world-destroying power, and their clan's foundation is unfathomable. They are also extremely vengeful!
If word were to spread today that they participated in the siege of the Ancient Void Dragon Clan, or if the Ancient Void Dragon Clan were to discover through some secret method that some of their members had died at their hands, then what awaited them would be endless pursuit and... annihilation!
That would be a thousand times more terrifying than offending any of humanity's top powers!
For a moment, Thunder Venerate and his companions were filled with regret and wished they could immediately withdraw and sever all ties with the Heaven Demon Phoenix Clan.
But now the die was cast, and they were firmly bound to the Heaven Demon Phoenix Clan's war chariot. How could they possibly back down halfway? They could only grit their teeth and hope that the Heaven Demon Phoenix Clan could truly create a miracle and handle the matter cleanly and efficiently, leaving no future troubles.
As panic and fear gripped their hearts, Feng Qing'er in the sky, under the complete infusion and dominance of the Ancient Heavenly Phoenix Ancestral Soul, seemed to have all her emotions temporarily stripped away, her face becoming as cold as Myriad Years Profound Ice, devoid of any human fear, hesitation, or other emotions.
At this moment, she is more like a vessel carrying the will of the Ancient Heavenly Phoenix.
Upon hearing Huang Xuan's stern shout, a chilling light shone brightly in Feng Qing'er's golden eyes.
Her jade-like hands slowly clenched, and an even more dazzling golden light surged forth from her body like liquid, making her appear like Heavenly Phoenix goddess cast in gold!
Immediately, without any fancy moves, she threw a punch from a distance!
A clear and majestic phoenix cry, as if traversing Eternal Space-Time, suddenly resounded throughout the world! As the phoenix cry rang out, the boundless golden light instantly gathered and solidified before his fist!
In the blink of an eye, a colossal Heavenly Phoenix, no less massive than the skeleton below and seemingly cast entirely in pure gold, rapidly took shape!
The Heavenly Phoenix Phantom was incredibly solid, with every feather clearly visible. Golden flames burned in its eyes, and its wings spread wide, blotting out the sky and casting shadows that covered most of the plain!
With a mere flap of its enormous golden wings, the entire sky trembled and twisted violently, as if unable to bear its presence! The terrifying, world-destroying power filled those who beheld it with despair and utter horror!
The Golden Phoenix was fully formed, its cold golden eyes locking onto the Altar, and then its wings suddenly flapped!
"Boom!!!"
Space was forcibly torn apart, emitting a mournful cry of unbearable strain!
The colossal Golden Phoenix, blotting out the sky, carried a terrifying power capable of crushing everything. Like a falling golden star, it fiercely swept towards Lin Ming, Zi Yan, and the others on the Altar!
Under that enormous golden shadow, everyone on the Altar, including Lin Ming, truly felt an irresistible sense of insignificance and powerlessness emanating from the depths of their souls!
This power far surpasses the realm of Dou Venerate; it's as if a true Ancient Heavenly Phoenix has been resurrected, descending upon this place carrying a portion of its former might! It's simply too powerful...
However, faced with such a terrifying and Heaven Array that could instantly annihilate even Five-Star Dou Venerate, Zi Yan, whose entire body was surrounded by deep purple light and seemed to be integrated with the Primordial Void Dragon Ancestral Soul behind her, still did not back down at all.
She slowly, as if taking a leisurely stroll, took two more steps forward. Her purple eyes calmly watched the approaching, destructive Golden Phoenix.
Immediately, under the gaze of countless horrified eyes, Zi Yan simply raised her fair and delicate hand, which was completely disproportionate to the enormous creature, and then, from a distance, clenched it tightly against the huge Golden Phoenix!
This seemingly casual gesture caused a dramatic change in the world, leaving everyone, including the Black-robed Old Man Huang Xuan, utterly horrified!
"Buzz--!!!"
The moment Zi Yan's small hand grasped his, Lin Ming and the others immediately felt that the light in this world shrouded by the Beast Spirit Barrier dimmed instantly, as if they had suddenly fallen from daylight into dusk!
Immediately, a chilling scene unfolded—
Centered on the enormous Golden Phoenix, the Void Space within a radius of several hundred feet collapsed completely, like fragile glass!
A massive, pitch-black void, hundreds of feet in size, appeared out of thin air in the sky. Within that void was absolute darkness from which even light could not escape, so profound that it could devour even the soul. The Spatial Turbulence emanating from it sent chills down everyone's spines, as if they had fallen into an ice cave!
Zi Yan's palm strike actually triggered a massive spatial collapse! It forcibly trapped and squeezed the Golden Light Heavenly Phoenix carrying destructive power into that terrifying Space Cage that was constantly collapsing, repairing, and collapsing again!
"Bah! Bah!"
The Golden Light Heavenly Phoenix was trapped and let out a sharp, angry cry of unease!
It struggled fiercely, and dazzling golden light, like countless sharp swords or exploding supernovae, continuously burst forth from its body, attempting to tear apart this Space Cage! The golden light collided and annihilated with the collapsing Spatial Fragment, emitting deafening energy explosions, and that area was completely transformed into a forbidden zone of death!
"Break!"
Sensing that Golden Phoenix was trapped and the situation was dire, Feng Qing'er, who was connected to the Ancestral Soul, also showed an unnatural paleness on her face. She bit her tongue sharply, forcibly spitting out a mouthful of slightly bluish-red Natal Blood Essence!
This mouthful of Essence Blood, containing the very essence of its bloodline, was sent out from a distance. As if it had a life of its own, it instantly and precisely merged into the collapsing space, staining the body of the struggling Golden Phoenix!
"Boom!"
The sudden surge of Essence Blood power was like pouring a bucket of hot oil onto a raging fire! The golden light within the Golden Phoenix suddenly surged, reaching its peak of brilliance, as if it had transformed into a second, true sun!
With the blessing of its Natal Blood Essence, the Golden Phoenix's power instantly surged!
It let out an even louder and more frenzied phoenix cry, and its huge golden wings, like two divine blades that split the heavens and the earth, carried unparalleled power and shook fiercely!
"Crack! Boom--!!!"
The collapsing space that had confined it finally succumbed to the impact of this sudden, terrifying power, letting out its final lament before exploding with a deafening roar! Countless Spatial Fragment scattered like a torrential rain!
Having broken free of the Space Cage, the Golden Phoenix seemed to have shrunk in size and its golden light had dimmed slightly, but its ferocity was even greater!
It transformed into a golden streak of unparalleled condensation, like a golden divine spear piercing through the void, carrying an indomitable and resolute determination to kill its target, and shot fiercely towards the Altar! Its speed far surpassed that of before!
Facing the Golden Phoenix, which had broken free of its restraints and was attacking with even greater ferocity, Zi Yan's cold little face remained completely calm. She stretched out her small hand again, and deep purple light swirled rapidly in her palm like a vortex.
"Laugh!"
A massive purple beam of light shot out from his palm with a hiss! This beam of light was not straight, but twisted and deformed rapidly as it shot out!
In the blink of an eye, the pillar of light transformed into a creature no less large than the Golden Phoenix, exuding an ancient and primordial aura... the Ancient Void Dragon!
This Purple Ancient Dragon Phantom was incredibly solid, its scales shimmering with a metallic luster, and its enormous eyes held an indifferent and majestic gaze upon all living beings.
It raised its head and let out a soul-shaking dragon roar, the sound waves causing even space to ripple!
Immediately, the Ancient Void Dragon Phantom bared its fangs and brandished its claws, fearlessly meeting the oncoming Golden Light Heavenly Phoenix!
"Thump!!!!!"
The phantoms of the Dragon and Phoenix, two Ancient Supreme Magical Beasts, engaged in the most primal and intense collision in this world!
At the moment of impact, it seemed as if the entire Beast Spirit Barrier was about to be torn apart! A storm of energy, both gold and purple, swept out wildly, like the Big Bang at the beginning of the universe!
However, this collision did not last long.
That Ancient Void Dragon Phantom was clearly superior!
At the moment of impact, the dragon's body twisted violently in a mysterious trajectory, like a Primordial Giant Python with supreme power, and thus it tightly entangled and bound the enormous body of the Golden Light Heavenly Phoenix from head to tail!
The dragon's body tightened, emitting a teeth-grinding creaking sound!
The Golden Phoenix let out a painful cry and struggled frantically. Golden light continuously impacted the dragon's body, but it could not break free from the binding force that was like Gu Shan!
"Broken!"
Zi Yan's face was as cold as frost. She slowly opened her small hands, and then suddenly clenched her fists tightly!
"Snap--!!!"
As its hand clenched completely, the massive body of the Ancient Void Dragon Phantom unleashed its final and most terrifying power, twisting violently! A terrifying force, capable of destroying the heavens and the earth and seemingly shattering stars, directly impacted the body of the Golden Light Heavenly Phoenix!
There was no earth-shattering explosion, only a crisp, chilling sound... of shattering!
The Golden Light Heavenly Phoenix, which contained Feng Qing'er's Essence Blood and carried a portion of the Ancestral Soul power of the Ancient Heavenly Phoenix, was crushed inch by inch by the deathly entanglement of the Ancient Void Dragon, like a glass sculpture being shattered. Ultimately...
With a loud "bang," it shattered completely into countless tiny golden specks, like a golden rain, slowly dissipating into the world...
The Ancestral Soul Golden Phoenix, was forcibly twisted and shattered!
"Pfft!"
The moment the Golden Phoenix shattered, Feng Qing'er in the sky below was struck as if by lightning! Her face turned deathly pale, her delicate body trembled violently, and she couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of blood containing fragments of internal organs, forming a tragic blood mist in the air.
She staggered backward dozens of steps in the air before barely regaining her balance. The dazzling golden light in her eyes dissipated and faded away like a tide, revealing once again her cold, horrified eyes filled with shock and disbelief.
The powerful Ancient Heavenly Phoenix Ancestral Soul energy surrounding her vanished like a receding tide, leaving her aura instantly weakened to the extreme, making even hovering in the air seem difficult.
"The Ancestral Soul... has been completely shattered?!"
Feng Qing'er raised her head in Deadly Land, staring at the petite figure in the distant sky still shrouded in purple light, seemingly unharmed. A storm raged in her heart.
According to the ancestral records passed down through generations of the Heaven Demon Phoenix Clan, the Ancestral Soul, which was said to be invincible and capable of turning the tide of battle once summoned, was finally summoned by her with her Essence Blood, but... it suffered such a clean, decisive, and almost crushing defeat!
Seeing the golden light in Feng Qing'er's eyes fade, her aura plummet, and even the Ancestral Soul power of the Ancient Heavenly Phoenix completely dissipate, the Black-robed Old Man Huang Xuan, who had been closely watching the battle, felt his heart sink, as if he had fallen into an abyss. He secretly felt bitter and filled with despair.
It's over...
Despite all his calculations, who could have predicted that Lin Ming and his group actually harbored a living, breathing Ancient Void Dragon!
Moreover, the Ancestral Soul remaining within this Beast Spirit Barrier is clearly even more powerful and solidified than that of the Primordial Void Dragon! This is practically a death knell for the Heaven Demon Phoenix Clan's actions this time!
Having lost their greatest Trump Card, the Ancestral Soul, and facing an Ancient Void Dragon capable of summoning an even stronger Ancestral Soul, the unfathomably powerful Lin Ming, and those covetous Puppet and powerful figures... they had no chance of winning.
A chilling despair instantly enveloped the hearts of all the Heaven Demon Phoenix Clan members.
