Ancient Beast Soul

Breaking through the puppet's defenses with lightning speed, Xiao Yan and the Skyfire Saint opened the stone gate at the end of the plaza.

Amidst the deafening roar of machinery, a crack appeared in the heavy stone door.

As the stone gate opened, a desolate and ancient aura slowly drifted out.

After the stone gate opened, Xiao Yan and the Skyfire Saint instantly entered.

After the two had been inside for quite some time, a newcomer finally discovered the secret of the fire path and arrived at the plaza.

However, at this moment, Xiao Yan and his companion had already arrived inside a forest.

The forest is entirely composed of various rare medicinal herbs. Due to the absence of human interference, these herbs have grown for countless years, resulting in an exceptionally rich energy concentration.

After collecting medicinal herbs along the way, the two stopped at a lake.

The small lake is nearly ten feet deep, and its water is exceptionally clear, yet the bottom cannot be seen at a glance. In the center of this lake, there is a small piece of land that appears to float like an island.

There stood a small tree with an extremely strange shape, its entire body a grayish-silver color. Its branches intertwined like vines, forming an odd arc that resembled a heavily pregnant woman.

Upon approaching, Xiao Yan broke off some branches from the Soul Infant Demon Tree, intending to plant them back in the Nine Netherworld Python Clan. Then, he picked the Soul Infant Fruit that had ripened.

With these things, Medusa's soul power could be rapidly increased even without specifically cultivating soul techniques, and the souls of the incomplete Seven-Colored Heaven-Swallowing Python she controlled could also be nourished and restored.

After taking the Soul Infant Fruit, Xiao Yan and his companion continued deeper into the cave, but soon stopped.

A golden light appeared out of thin air in the Void Space half a foot in front of the two people!

The golden light resembled an inverted bowl, covering an area of several dozen feet. Its dazzling brilliance was difficult to detect unless one got very close, as it was obscured by layers of trees.

Looking at the golden light shield in front of him, the Skyfire Saint exclaimed in surprise, "It's actually the Beast Spirit Shroud!"

"The Beast Spirit Shroud can only be formed by extremely powerful magical beasts on the verge of death." The Skyfire Saint gently stroked the shield, sensing something within it beckoning him. He murmured, "It seems to be related to the Heaven Demon Phoenix Clan."

Xiao Yan slowly said, "Although the Beast Spirit Shroud is special, it can be activated as long as one shares the same bloodline."

The Skyfire Saint nodded, and a drop of blood floated out, landing on the Beast Spirit Shroud.

In an instant, the golden light shield fluctuated violently, and a golden crack tore open!

After the crack appeared, Xiao Yan and his companion quickly entered. Not long after, the golden light fluctuated, and the crack quickly disappeared.

Inside the spirit beast enclosure was a desolate plain, the crimson sand appearing as if it had been soaked in blood.

In the center of the plain stood an ancient stone altar, hundreds of feet high, from which a faint but powerful aura emanated, causing the Skyfire Saint's expression to change slightly.

"Not only does this place contain the aura of the Heavenly Demon Phoenix, but also the aura of the Ancient Void Dragon. I wonder what the strength of the owner of this ruin was, that he was able to obtain two such powerful magical beasts at the same time!"

Xiao Yan shook his head at the Skyfire Saint's speculation. "Perhaps the owner of the ruins wasn't very strong; he was just lucky to have found this space."

The Creation Dou Saint only possesses the Great Heaven Creation Palm, a low- Heaven Tier Dou Technique, which is clearly not powerful among Dou Sheng, and naturally cannot subdue the Ancient Void Dragon and the Ancient Heavenly Phoenix.

"That's possible." The Skyfire Saint nodded and walked towards the altar with Xiao Yan.

Upon arriving at the giant stone altar, an ancient aura immediately greeted him, causing the Skyfire Saint to feel a sense of nostalgia.

Trapped in the Magma World, when they emerged, time had changed and the outside world had undergone significant transformations.

Xiao Yan walked straight to the center of the altar, where there was a stone platform in shades of gold and purple.

On the stone platform, there was a groove about half a foot in size. At this moment, a sapling grew out of the stone platform from within that groove. 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 its entire body is golden and purple. Upon closer inspection, one can see that the golden half, winding and twisting, is actually a Gu Xu dragon shrunk countless times, while the other half, purple, is Demon Phoenix spreading its wings and dancing.

"This is the Dragon-Phoenix Origin Fruit!" Skyfire Saint, who was right behind Xiao Yan, recognized the fruit at a glance.

Even the Skyfire Saint would have had difficulty recognizing such a fruit, but after reading the contents of the Huang Tian Storage Ring, he was deeply impressed by it.

The Dragon-Phoenix Origin Fruit has a less than 10% chance of appearing only if it absorbs the life force of the Ancient Void Dragon and the Ancient Heavenly Phoenix, which is the ancestor of the Heavenly Demon Phoenix.

This Dragon-Phoenix Origin Fruit has only appeared five times in the records of the Heaven Demon Phoenix Clan.

"It is indeed the Dragon-Phoenix Origin Fruit." Xiao Yan nodded affirmatively and looked up at the sky.

There, there are the remains of an extremely large dragon and Heavenly Phoenix, which are the Ancient Void Dragon and Ancient Heavenly Phoenix that gave birth to the Dragon-Phoenix Origin Fruit!

The massive skeletons, joined end to end, form a perfect circle that encircles the plain, with the megalithic altar situated precisely at the center of this circle.

Besides the Soul Infant Fruit, what he needed here was the Dragon-Phoenix Origin Fruit and the corpses of the two great demonic beasts.

The Skyfire Saint also noticed the corpses of the two demonic beasts, but he didn't pay much attention to them since they had been dead for a long time.

"The Dragon-Phoenix Origin Fruit is extremely precious. Whether it is obtained by the Heaven Demon Phoenix Clan or the Ancient Void Dragon Clan, it can evolve into a supreme demonic beast with both Dragon-Phoenix Bloodline."

"Then let's finish this quickly." Xiao Yan took a step back, allowing the Skyfire Saint to unleash his power.

Although he was stronger than the Skyfire Saint, he did not possess the bloodline of either of the two races, so he was powerless against the Special Envoy Fruit.

With a solemn expression, the Skyfire Saint formed hand seals, knowing that taking away the Dragon-Phoenix Origin Fruit would require some complicated methods.

Just as the Skyfire Saint was busy, a phoenix cry rang out in this world.

"Impersonating the Demon Phoenix, you deserve to die!"

A chilling voice descended from the sky, and dazzling light poured down, instantly covering the crimson plain.

Amidst the violent tremors, to the astonishment of the Skyfire Saint, the Ancient Heavenly Phoenix, which had been dead for a long time, seemed to come back to life and slowly began to wriggle.

With a deafening roar, a magnificent golden light, carrying a terrifying energy capable of destroying the heavens and the earth, surged towards the Skyfire Saint!
