Collecting the Remains

The unexpected turn of events prompted Xiao Yan to instantly take action, shielding the Skyfire Saint from the impact of the golden light, and then looking at the Ancient Demon Phoenix with a puzzled expression.

Without a summoning ritual, how did the soul of this Ancient Heavenly Phoenix awaken?

Moreover, although this Ancient Demon Phoenix had been dead for a long time, its eyesight was still extremely sharp, and it immediately saw that the Skyfire Saint was not a member of the Heaven Demon Phoenix Clan.

Xiao Yan shouted, "Continue to retrieve the Dragon-Phoenix Origin Fruit; I will deal with the remaining power of this Ancient Heavenly Phoenix."

Just then, an even more terrifying pressure than that of the Ancient Heavenly Phoenix appeared.

The awakening of the Ancient Heavenly Phoenix soul stimulated the dormant Ancient Void Dragon soul, which, although it had also perished for a long time, still possessed terrifying energy.

Suddenly under the watchful eyes of the two great demonic beasts, the Skyfire Saint quickened his pace!

A dazzling golden light continuously flowed from the body of the Ancient Heavenly Phoenix. In no time, the skeleton had transformed into a golden Heavenly Phoenix, which looked remarkably similar to its former self.

A massive purple light burst forth from the corpse of the Ancient Void Dragon, its intensity so great that it distorted space, rapidly returning it to its state before death. With a roar to the sky, it charged forth.

With a flap of its wings, the Ancient Heavenly Phoenix unleashed a gust of wind that hurtled towards Xiao Yan. Golden light mingled with the storm, and cracks appeared in space wherever the light passed.

Seeing that the Ancient Heavenly Phoenix did not attack the Ancient Void Dragon, but instead attacked him, a phantom Dragon Shadow appeared on Xiao Yan's body, which was the Heavenly Flames Wind Fury Dragon Flame.

Besides its fire attribute, the Wind Fury Dragon Flame also possesses the wind attribute. With a sudden, powerful inhale, it drew away most of the wind-attribute energy within the towering storm.

With another inhale, he absorbed the entire storm into his body.

Thanks to the power of the Heavenly Flames, even though the golden energy of the Ancient Heavenly Phoenix was extremely violent, it was quickly refined.

Seeing that its attack was ineffective, the Ancient Heavenly Phoenix flapped its wings, transforming into a golden light, and shot towards the altar with its massive body.

Just then, the Ancient Void Dragon of the Void also spotted Xiao Yan. With a twist of its body, it charged towards Xiao Yan as well.

Looking at the two giant beasts, Xiao Yan sneered and spat out a ball of silver light. The silver light swelled in the wind, and the nine silver dragons within it gradually grew larger, respectively blocking the Ancient Void Dragon and the Ancient Heavenly Phoenix.

Amidst the roars of the Nine Dragons Lightning Flame, both giant beasts, which were merely soul forms, trembled.

Although both giant beasts were once top-tier magical beasts, they no longer have real physical bodies and have been dead for many years. Even the Ancient Void Dragon, which is also a dragon, is restrained by the Nine Dragons Lightning Flame.

Under the impact of the silver dragon, the two giant beasts transformed into golden and purple orbs of light, respectively.

After the soul shattered, its original skeletal form was revealed once more.

Xiao Yan immediately set off to collect them. Although the two magical beasts had been dead for a long time, their skeletons still contained a lot of energy, making them excellent materials.

As long as a suitable magical beast is selected, the Flame Mantra can be used to merge the skeletons of that magical beast with the skeletons, and finally, just like consuming the Dragon Emperor Origin Fruit, it will evolve into a higher-level magical beast, the Dragon-Phoenix!

As the sky cleared, the Skyfire Saint also took the Dragon-Phoenix Origin Fruit.

However, when the Dragon-Phoenix Origin Fruit fell into the Skyfire Saint's palm, it released a burst of energy to repel it, showing great resistance.

Skyfire Saint shook his head. "I didn't expect that even this small fruit could sense that I am not a true Heaven Demon Phoenix Clan."

Xiao Yan took out a huge piece of bone, used it as a box, placed the Dragon-Phoenix Origin Fruit inside, and shook his head.

"It's not that this fruit is exceptionally spiritual, but rather that your soul hasn't yet fully integrated with this body. If you could fully master this body, even if Ancient Heavenly Phoenix were to be resurrected, it would be difficult to discern the difference."

The Skyfire Saint nodded emphatically. If he could fully control this body, his strength would increase once again.

However, since he was only Dou Zun before, his leap to Dou Sheng was already a huge improvement, and the gap between Dou Sheng was enormous, which meant that his speed control was not particularly fast.

After storing the items, the Skyfire Saint created a crack in the Beast Spirit Shroud, and Xiao Yan and his companion immediately flashed out.

After leaving the Ancient Forest, Xiao Yan and the Skyfire Saint traveled between pavilions and collected valuable items from within.

A moment later, the two arrived at a palace called the Pill Hall.

As Alchemist, Xiao Yan was the first to enter the palace and began collecting items from the first floor.

Although they are only low-grade elixirs, they are ancient prescriptions, very different from modern prescriptions, and have considerable research value.

After looting the Pill Hall, Xiao Yan and his companion found the main hall.

The entire hall is bronze in color. Countless years have made this bronze color appear even deeper and more profound. An ancient aura emanates from beneath every stone slab, allowing people to feel the vicissitudes of countless years of silence.

In the center of the main hall, there were ten enormous orbs of light, suspended in mid-air. Within their dazzling light, one could vaguely make out something resembling a scroll.

At the center of those ten orbs of light, there was a stone seat, and on that seat sat a skeleton, its body entirely white with jade, its hands forming a mudra, its legs crossed.

Looking at the skeleton, which resembled white jade, Xiao Yan nodded slightly, his eyes shining faintly.

The remains of Dou Sheng level expert!

Although this Dou Sheng has been dead for a long time, the blood in his bones and the bones themselves are of great value.

However, although Xiao Yan and his companion arrived quickly, the main hall was equipped with a self-destructing seal, forcing them to wait.

With their eyes fixed on the skeleton of a Dou Sheng) level expert, Xiao Yan and the Skyfire Saint waited quietly.

As they waited, more and more people gradually arrived outside the main hall.

However, those who were able to come here were all powerful and intelligent individuals. When they saw that Xiao Yan and his companion were still ahead of them, they only glanced at them briefly and did not make any unusual moves.

As they waited, the light surrounding the orbs of light in mid-air above the main hall gradually weakened.

"The seal is about to disappear!" The Skyfire Saint narrowed his eyes, wondering what might be inside the main hall.

After a breath or two, the ten orbs of light suddenly trembled violently, and then burst out with a blinding light. Within this light, the scrolls inside transformed into streams of light and shot out from within the orbs!

The scroll flew out, and the entire hall instantly erupted in excitement!
