Mysterious Powerhouse
Human-Demon Battlefield!
A mysterious void hidden in endless darkness!
This place seems to be a secret garden of the universe, its existence completely undetectable to the outside world.
An air of mystery permeates the space, as if it were the very beginning of everything.
At this moment, the void appeared extremely empty, devoid of any life.
A sense of silence permeated the entire space, as if time had stood still.
In the very center of this void, a faint flame flickered weakly.
Its light was like a candle flame flickering in a storm, and it could be extinguished at any moment.
As the only source of light in this void, this flame, though burning alone, remains resilient.
It seemed to be the last guardian of this void, diligently fulfilling its mission.
Suddenly, a strange rhythm began to emanate from the entire void.
Then, a crack appeared in one of the corners.
Immediately afterwards, a figure flashed in.
It was Feng Jiu in human form.
As he entered, the entire space seemed to be activated by some mysterious force.
Suddenly, the flame in the center erupted with an extremely powerful aura.
At the same time, a voice came from it:
"Hmm? Why have you come alone? Where is the Eternal Flame?"
Upon hearing this, a hint of lingering fear immediately appeared on Feng Jiu's face:
"Father, I've been attacked! The Eternal Flame and Xingtian have been stolen!"
"Oh? Could it be the Great Sage of Longevity? Besides holding off my clone, does he have other tricks up his sleeve?"
"No!"
Feng Jiu's face once again showed a lingering fear.
"I had already led Xingtian away from the battlefield between you and the Great Sage of the Human Clan! The incident happened in the wormhole on our way back?"
"Um?"
This time, even Phoenix Ancestor's tone wavered.
It should be noted that the teleportation technique Feng Jiu used before was personally performed by Phoenix Ancestor.
Regardless of how much the Principle of Fire enhanced the wormhole, the spatial power injected into it is unparalleled.
There are very few entities in the entire universe capable of constructing such wormholes.
As for those who can break through it, they are even rarer.
"Could it be that other Great Sage of the Human Clan made a move?"
Phoenix Ancestor immediately thought of other Human Clan Great Sage.
Feng Jiu did not hide anything.
He recounted in detail how the mysterious iron claw tore open the wormhole, how it slapped him away, and how it captured Xingtian.
After hearing Feng Jiu's description, the flames in the void fell into a brief silence.
Feng Jiu silently watched the flames, as if time had stood still.
After an unknown amount of time, Phoenix Ancestor's voice finally came again.
"No, the opponent isn't the Great Sage!"
"Not the Great Sage?"
Feng Jiu stared at the flames in front of her in disbelief.
"How is this possible? Father! If it's not the Great Sage, how could he defeat me so easily? I was slapped against the wormhole wall by him!"
"Hmph! So arrogant! Just because you can't beat the Great Sage doesn't mean you can. Think about it, if I were to slap you, would you just be sent flying?"
Upon hearing this, Feng Jiu finally realized what was happening.
Indeed, if the Great Sage were to make a move, no matter how strong Feng Jiu was, this slap wouldn't have been as simple as just being sent flying.
Whether they can survive is still unknown.
Meanwhile, with Phoenix Ancestor's reminder, Feng Jiu also discovered clues in other aspects.
"There's still a wormhole! The other side did indeed breach the wormhole, but they didn't destroy it! After Xingtian was captured, the wormhole remained stable and didn't affect my subsequent journey!"
But thinking of all this, Feng Jiu suddenly looked at the flame in the center.
"The opponent is Supreme Powerhouse? Yet why am I utterly powerless to retaliate?"
"Heh, kid, you should know there are always people stronger than you! Don't think that just because you're a Supreme Powerhouse being, you're truly the strongest below the Great Sage! Just like, before I became a Great Sage, I could easily deal with you now!"
"What?"
"Otherwise, why do you think your father was able to advance to the Great Sage level? Luck? Ridiculous!"
Upon hearing her father's words, Feng Jiu fell silent.
Phoenix Ancestor let out a long sigh, "Alas, it's such a pity that my grandson has lost the Eternal Flame. It seems we'll have to make other plans!"
"Father, I want to know, what exactly is that person's strength? Is he considered Supreme Powerhouse?"
"Top-Tier Supreme Powerhouse! It's just a pity that without the Great Sage's Opportunity, this is all one can achieve in their entire life!"
Not long after, Feng Jiu also left the mysterious void and returned to the Demon Race's camp.
Afterwards, the Demon Race who had participated in the search for the Eternal Flame also returned one after another.
Although the Eternal Flame was ultimately lost, Feng Jiu still rewarded the surviving great demons.
As for Xingtian who was captured.
Feng Jiu naturally sent people to search for them as well.
But deep down he knew he was just fooling himself.
Those masters of that level are impossible to find unless the Great Sage himself comes.
Deep in the universe, far from the Human-Demon Battlefield!
The previously tranquil space suddenly experienced a slight ripple.
It is the power of space.
As this tiny fluctuation occurred, a section of space here actually shattered.
However, the area of the fracture was too small, less than one square meter.
It's barely big enough for one person to pass through.
As the space shattered, the mirror-like space suddenly bulged up, emanating powerful squeezing sounds.
The sound grew louder and louder, as if some enormous creature was trying to squeeze out of that small mouth.
Finally, after some effort, the small opening was stretched wider and wider.
A ferocious dragon head was the first to emerge from the crack.
After observing its surroundings for a moment, it retreated back inside.
Then, a pair of dragon claws gripped the sides of the space rift that had been squeezed wide.
As the power continues to increase.
The spatial cracks there were like the opening in a plastic bag, being stretched wider and wider.
Until a giant dragon was fully revealed.
This is not the traditional Eastern dragon.
Instead, it resembles the appearance of a Western dragon more closely.
The most striking feature is its pair of wings on its back, which, when spread out, blot out the sky and seem to cover the entire universe.
As the dragon appeared, its wings, which blotted out the sky, suddenly unfurled.
Its enormous body was covered in shimmering scales, as if they were made of metal.
And he exuded an aura of majesty.
Its eyes, like burning flames, constantly scanned everything around it.
If you switch your perspective to his forepaws, you'll see...
At this moment, Xingtian, enveloped in the Flame Golden Lotus, was inside.
For some unknown reason, Xingtian had fallen into a deep sleep.
At the same time, even the Flame Golden Lotus that enveloped him became extremely weak, as if it would break at any moment.
The dragon ignored Xingtian in its claws and instead surveyed its surroundings.
With a flash of light in his eyes, he suddenly exerted force with the wings on his back, and his massive body vanished from the spot in an instant, as if he had never been there at all.
