They were underestimating them!“Kid, you’re trapped in the formation, yet you’re still so cocky about it. Do you think our formation is just child's play? I’ll show you how powerful it is!”The leader spoke confidently as he prepared to activate the formation and give Andrius and Ophelia a taste of its power. Andrius simply extended his index finger and tapped it on the membrane of the formation.“Heh…” A soft chuckle escaped his lips.At first, the leader did not think much of it and was ready to mock him. However, before he could say anything, he felt a tremendous force pass through the formation’s membrane and strike him. He was thrown back as if lightning had struck him.“Ugh!”He spat out a mouthful of blood in mid-air, instantly filling the area with a strong stench of blood, and it was not just him.“Blergh!”All the experts maintaining the formation were also thrown back, with blood gushing from their mouths. At the same time, the formation exploded like a balloon pr
Andrius sensed something unusual as soon as they entered the new space. The space there was incredibly oppressive. It was as if a powerful presence was constantly exerting immense pressure on every living being that entered. It was a terrifying restriction unique to the ancestral space!He turned to look at Ophelia, who also looked at him. It was clear she had noticed it as well.“As expected of the Heavenly Fiend Phoenix clan’s ancestral land. This restriction is about the same as in the Dragon Emperor’s sacred land of the Void Thunder Dragon clan. This alone can suppress the strength of ordinary experts by 50 percent.”Andrius was taken aback.Ophelia continued, “But since I have the Dragon Emperor’s bloodline, the effect of this restriction is considerably weaker on me, and I still retain 70 percent of my combat power. What about you, Andrius?”Andrius estimated, “I’m about the same, around 70 percent.”He suspected that was due to the Divine Realm wolf blood in his veins. H
She handed the scale to Andrius. “Andrius, the reverse scale of a Void Thunder Dragon is incredibly sturdy and much stronger than most immortal artifacts. “Besides its toughness, it also contains a trace of dragon blood imprint, which greatly suppresses the phoenix blood imprint. It might be of use at a critical moment. Take it with you.”Andrius accepted the reverse scale without hesitation. “Thank you, Dragon Emperor. When I get out, if you ever need my help in the future, just ask.”Ophelia nodded. “Good luck.”With that, she took one last at Andrius before swiftly flying off, disappearing from his sight in moments. Then, Andrius was left to explore the ancestral land alone. Hesitation was not in his nature, so he set off again, moving faster than before.As he neared the core, he noticed the temperature rising. It was a well-known fact that the phoenix was associated with fire.Whoosh, whoosh… Soon, Andrius noticed flames spewing from the surrounding mechanisms around hi
The ancient phoenix’s plan was to devour the soul and seize the body. That way, it could gain another powerful servant. It was not the first time it had done such a thing, but the process was not going as smoothly as expected this time. Although Andrius was engulfed in the phoenix’s true flames, he refused to give up without a fight. Why? It was because he possessed great determination, wisdom, and a strong desire to live!Sensing the persistent resistance, the phoenix apparition exclaimed in surprise, “Oh? Still struggling, are you? No wonder…”After carefully examining Andrius, the apparition tilted its head slightly. “You possess the bloodline of the Divine Realm’s Alpha Wolf King. What a stroke of luck. However, this now belongs to me!“By absorbing that bloodline, I can finally reforge my body and return to the land with the most perfect phoenix true form. Hahaha… Bow before me now!”The thoughts of such power made the phoenix laugh uncontrollably. As it laughed, it intens
Andrius was a cultivator at the Aureate Immortal Grand Culmination stage, and with the constant nurturing of the Divine Realm’s Alpha Wolf King’s bloodline, his soul had grown terrifyingly strong.As for the phoenix, although it was a divine being, it had died long ago. It only managed to maintain its existence using its true flame by relying on its remaining soul energy. However, since it had been a long time since its death, its soul energy had greatly weakened.Furthermore, it had wasted significant energy controlling previous intruders before Andrius, leading to its defeat today.“Heh…”After realizing that, the phoenix apparition let out a cold laugh. “I was careless, but if you think you can kill me, you’re mistaken. This isn’t over. We’ll meet again!”Then, the phoenix apparition began to retreat. However, it suddenly felt an irresistible suction from behind pulling it back. No matter how much it struggled, it could not escape. When it turned around, he was horrified to s
Rustle...As the slaves awakened, they immediately surrounded Andrius from all directions, ready to fight him to the death.Andrius frowned.These people were nothing but pitiful souls, unlike him, who had been relatively fortunate.Swoosh—Andrius had only hesitated for a moment when a figure suddenly lunged at him, throwing a punch at his back ruthlessly.He noticed the power behind this punch was not particularly strong and soon realized why.The fact that these people were enslaved by the Phoenix apparition meant that they were not strong to begin with. After all, would the strong be so easily subdued?Furthermore, after being enslaved, they existed in the form of mummies, causing their strength to wane and weaken.Thus, Andrius had an idea!Whoosh—The moment the punch was about to hit Andrius, a powerful surge of soul energy hit him.“Wake up!”The explosive shout was like a bucket of cold water, instantly stopping the attacker in his tracks.Then, Andrius used even
By all logic, the Phoenix should have completely perished.“Of course, that’s just a legend.”The person chuckled and shook his head. “We’re only speculating based on some clues. The truth lies inside the hall.”Andrius nodded and did not dwell on the issue.Whether it was alive or not, he would know soon enough.Of course, if the Phoenix was truly alive, the outcome would be disastrous. The Phoenix, surviving since ancient times, would be unimaginably terrifying.Regardless, Andrius had to take this journey for Luna’s sake.After calming down, he strode forward and pushed the doors open. However, as soon as he placed his hands on the door, he found that they were firmly sealed. It radiated a faint heat, making it impossible to budge.Andrius frowned slightly.Could there be some kind of mechanism within the doors?Immediately, he took a few steps back, gathered his immortal essence, and pushed his palms out.Boom—The deafening roar echoed in everyone’s ears.However, the
He finally found it!Surely, such a massive ancient Phoenix corpse should be able to yield diving Phoenix blood for Luna, right?Andrius took a deep breath and instructed, “Everyone, please stand guard for me.”“Rest assured. As long as we’re here, no one will disturb you.”“That’s right. Anyone who wants to disrupt you will have to step over our dead bodies first.”“Do what you need to do. Leave the rest to us.”The hundred or so people expressed their thoughts.Andrius nodded, composed himself, and sat in front of the Phoenix’s remains.The next second, a flame emerged from his forehead. He swiftly engulfed the Phoenix’s remains, refining them with intense heat.Rumble—A fierce fire burst out from inside the mound.It was the remnants of the Phoenix’s true fire, resisting Andrius’ divine fire.However, Andrius had absorbed a fragment of the Phoenix’s soul earlier and used its essence to evolve his Divine Realm wolf blood, significantly enhancing his strength.Now, he wa
