223: Chapter 223 True Spirit Fire Phoenix, Ancient Ancestor Awakens

Su Xuanchen put away the myriad things mother qi cauldron.

The playful and casual look on his face gradually receded, replaced by a serious expression.

He turned around, his gaze falling upon Ji Luanxi and Chang Xiyue.

"The moment I broke through the Restriction on the wutong sacred tree just now, I sensed an extremely peculiar aura."

Su Xuanchen's voice was steady, echoing through the desolate ruins.

Upon hearing this, Ji Luanxi stepped forward.

"Husband, what kind of aura was it?"

She looked up, her beautiful face showing a hint of curiosity.

"It was a True Spirit Fire Phoenix."

Su Xuanchen uttered these four words.

"I speculate that the one who suppressed that Fallen Blood Phoenix in the Primordial Immortal Realm back then was perhaps a true True Spirit Fire Phoenix."

Ji Luanxi was stunned.

After a brief moment of shock, an expression of ecstasy instantly surged onto her face.

She had felt somewhat disappointed that the Fallen Blood Phoenix had been suppressed into the cauldron by Su Xuanchen.

Although the Bloodline of the Fallen Blood Phoenix was powerful, it was tainted by dark matter after all.

To completely purify and absorb it would require immense effort and a long time, and even carried certain risks.

As the possessor of the Nine Phoenix Sacred Body, what she most desired was naturally the pure Phoenix Origin.

Upon hearing the words "True Spirit Fire Phoenix" at this moment, the flame of hope in her heart was completely reignited.

"True Spirit Fire Phoenix!"

Ji Luanxi's voice rose a few octaves in excitement.

"If I can find the remains or Origin of a True Spirit Fire Phoenix, my Nine Phoenix Sacred Body will definitely undergo the most perfect Nirvana!"

She excitedly grabbed Su Xuanchen's arm, her fingertips exerting slight pressure.

Su Xuanchen looked at her excited appearance and gently patted the back of her hand.

"Don't get too happy too soon."

His words were like a basin of warm water poured over Ji Luanxi's head.

"The branches of this wutong sacred tree have existed for countless epochs; the years are too ancient."

Su Xuanchen stated his judgment truthfully.

"That True Spirit Fire Phoenix is most likely no longer here, and may even have perished in the long river of time."

The excitement on Ji Luanxi's face faltered slightly.

She released Su Xuanchen's arm, lowered her head, and remained silent for a moment.

A gentle breeze swept by, lifting the hem of her fiery red dress.

After a few breaths, she raised her head again.

The disappointment on her face was completely gone.

In its place was an incredibly dazzling, confident smile.

"Even if I can't find a True Spirit Fire Phoenix, so what?"

Ji Luanxi's chin lifted slightly, her tone imbued with an innate pride.

"I, Ji Luanxi, possess the Nine Phoenix Sacred Body; I am naturally a favored daughter of heaven."

"Without external assistance, I can still rely on my own talent and hard work to break through shackles and achieve Breakthrough on my own!"

Her words were resolute, filled with unparalleled confidence.

Su Xuanchen looked at the radiant woman before him, and the corners of his mouth involuntarily curved upwards.

This was the woman he admired.

Independent, not blindly obedient, possessing her own pride and resilience.

He reached out and gently ruffled Ji Luanxi's head.

"Good."

"This is my woman, Su Xuanchen's."

Su Xuanchen's tone was full of doting affection.

He withdrew his hand and cast his gaze towards the deeper, mist-shrouded regions of the Primordial Immortal Realm.

"Let's go."

He waved his sleeve.

"There are still many secrets hidden within this Primordial Immortal Realm; let us delve deeper."

As his voice faded.

Su Xuanchen's figure transformed into a brilliant stream of light, speeding towards the depths of the Primordial Immortal Realm.

Ji Luanxi and Chang Xiyue exchanged glances.

The two women moved in unison, transforming into two beautiful long rainbows, following closely behind.

The three figures soon disappeared into the vast immortal mist.

...

Meanwhile.

Beyond infinitely distant space-time.

The Dark Immortal Great Realm.

This was a terrifying world shrouded in eternal darkness and despair.

The sky was dark red, as if soaked in dried blood.

The air was filled with a dense aura of corruption; ordinary creatures would instantly lose their minds and turn into monsters knowing only slaughter if they inhaled even a single breath.

Deep within the Corrupted Demonic Land.

The vast ancestral land of the Fallen Blood Phoenix Clan was located here.

Countless palaces, built from piles of black bones, stretched endlessly, exuding a heart-pounding pressure.

In the center of the ancestral land, the most magnificent ancient hall floated.

Around this hall, thick chains of great Dao Law were wrapped, firmly locking it in mid-air.

Suddenly.

"Boom! ! !"

An earth-shattering roar, capable of shattering the sky, erupted without warning!

The ancient hall floating in mid-air instantly exploded with a bang!

Countless massive black fragments, carrying world-destroying power, shot wildly in all directions.

Immediately after.

A terrifying aura, indescribable in words, shot up from the ruins!

This aura presented an eerie purple-gold color, instantly piercing through the dark red sky.

Within the Fallen Blood Phoenix Clan, an Ancient Ancestor who had been slumbering for countless epochs, had awakened!

"Who is it?!"

A roar, mixed with boundless fury, exploded over the entire territory of the Fallen Blood Phoenix Clan.

"Who dares to lay hands on the Saintly Imperial Daughter Flame Consort?!"

This voice, like substantial sound waves, shattered the Void Realm within tens of thousands of miles.

The purple-gold aura wildly churned and condensed in the sky.

In a flash, it transformed into a colossal phantom of a Fallen Blood Phoenix, obscuring the sky!

The wingspan of this Blood Phoenix phantom was a million miles wide.

Every feather burned with terrifying purple-gold flames, and even the surrounding dark Law were incinerated by these flames, emitting "hissing" sounds.

Just the Bloodline pressure emanating from this phantom plunged the entire ancestral land into unprecedented panic.

Below.

Countless divine demonic Vicious Beast inhabiting the ancestral land now lay limp on the ground like mud.

They pressed their heads firmly to the ground, trembling violently, emitting whimpers of extreme fear.

Under this pure and the supreme Bloodline suppression, they couldn't even conceive of fleeing.

"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!"

Several incomparably powerful auras shot up from various parts of the ancestral land.

Several clan elders, clad in dark red robes, hastily appeared.

Each of these clan elders, if placed in the outside world, would be a peerless existence capable of suppressing a Heavenly Realm.

But at this moment, facing the colossal Blood Phoenix phantom in the sky, all of them had pale faces and cold sweat streaming down.

They all knelt in mid-air, their posture utterly subservient.

"Greetings to Ancient Ancestor's revival!"

The clan elders shouted in unison, their voices trembling.

The gigantic Blood Phoenix phantom in the sky lowered its head.

Two icy gazes, as if substantial, locked onto these clan elders.

"Useless!"

The Ancient Ancestor roared.

Accompanying this roar.

An irresistible terrifying force, like a Primordial Divine Mountain, crashed down upon the clan elders.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

The clan elders had no room to resist and were directly suppressed from mid-air by this force.

They crashed heavily onto the ground below, creating several bottomless craters in the hard obsidian surface.

"Pfft!"

The clan elders all spat out a large mouthful of blood, countless bones in their bodies shattered.

But they disregarded the intense pain, scrambled out of the pits, and knelt again on the ground.

"Flame Consort is our clan's Saintly Imperial Daughter, bearing the Bloodline of the Nine Nether Flame Phoenix!"

The Ancient Ancestor's voice was filled with undisguised killing intent.

"She was suppressed by someone, and you useless lot were completely unaware?!"

"What use are you!"

Feeling the Ancient Ancestor's killing intent, which had almost solidified, the clan elders were scared to the point of Soul Flying Away and Spirit Scattering.

The Great Clan Elder, who was leading them, didn't bother to wipe the blood from the corner of his mouth and hastily kowtowed to report.

"Ancient Ancestor, appease your wrath! Appease your wrath!"

The Great Clan Elder's voice was hoarse and his words rushed.

"Your Highness, the Saintly Imperial Daughter... she... she is in the Xuanhuang Great World!"

"In that Xuanhuang Great World, there is an extremely strange and powerful force that completely concealed Your Highness's aura!"

Another clan elder quickly added.

"Yes, Ancient Ancestor! That force directly severed Karma and heavenly secrets."

"We were responsible for guarding the soul lamps, and it was only when Your Highness's soul lamp's flame became extremely weak that we detected the anomaly; it was absolutely not due to our dereliction of duty!"

The colossal Blood Phoenix phantom in the sky slowly receded.

The purple-gold flames converged towards the center.

Eventually, it transformed into the appearance of an old man.

This old man had white hair and a youthful complexion, his face even appearing somewhat benevolent.

However, he wore a striking purple-gold blood-colored robe.

Behind him, a pair of purple-gold wings, formed from pure Law of slaughter, slowly fluttered.

He stood in the Void Realm, and the surrounding space continuously collapsed and reassembled with his breathing.

The Ancient Ancestor looked down at the clan elders from above, the killing intent on his face not only undiminished but growing even more ferocious.

"Xuanhuang Great World?"

The Ancient Ancestor sneered, his laughter filled with boundless contempt and cruelty.

"What a Xuanhuang Great World!"

His purple-gold wings behind him suddenly flapped.

The violent gale directly sent the clan elders flying.

"During the last Primeval War, we jointly shattered that Xuanhuang Great Realm, even cutting down its World Tree!"

The Ancient Ancestor gritted his teeth, every word seemingly squeezed out from between them.

"I thought they would merely linger on, completely reduced to a wasteland."

"Unexpectedly, not only did they not learn their lesson, but now they even dare to provoke my Fallen Blood Phoenix Clan!"

"And even dare to suppress our clan's Saintly Imperial Daughter!"

"They are simply tired of living!"

The Great Clan Elder finally stabilized his figure and knelt in mid-air again.

He cautiously raised his head and spoke, adding.

"Ancient Ancestor, you are unaware."

"That Xuanhuang Great Realm was dormant for countless epochs, but in recent years, it has suddenly shown signs of rising."

"Several extremely formidable experts have successively emerged within the realm, and even those hypocrites of the Immortal Palace have suffered greatly at their hands."

"They are precisely relying on having some backing to be so audacious and disregard my Dark Great Realm."

Hearing this, a violent glint flashed in the Ancient Ancestor's eyes.

"Signs of rising?"

He snorted coldly, as if he had heard the biggest joke in the world.

"A mere Lower Realm, dares to speak of rising?"

"If I could cripple them once back then, now, this Venerable One can completely annihilate them!"

The Ancient Ancestor suddenly waved his sleeve.

"Issue the order!"

His voice, like rolling thunder, spread throughout the entire territory of the Fallen Blood Phoenix Clan.

"The entire clan, prepare for battle immediately!"

"Awaken all slumbering generals, activate all cross-realm teleportation arrays!"

"This Venerable One will personally lead the army to once again attack the Xuanhuang Great World!"

A soaring purple-gold blood-light erupted from the Ancient Ancestor's body.

"This time, this Venerable One will completely level that Xuanhuang Great Realm!"

"Let the blood of all living beings dye that wasteland red!"

"This Venerable One will use their wails to re-establish the supreme deterrent power of my Fallen Blood Phoenix Clan!"

Upon hearing the Ancient Ancestor's command.

The clan elders were first stunned, then an uncontrollable ecstasy surged onto their faces.

They had been suppressed for too long.

Since the Primeval War, all races in the Dark Great Realm had been recuperating.

Now that the Ancient Ancestor had personally ordered war, this was definitely a grand feast!

"We respectfully obey Ancient Ancestor's decree!"

The clan elders bowed deeply and loudly acknowledged the order.

Their eyes gleamed with bloodthirsty red light, filled with excitement and anticipation.

They vowed to follow the Ancient Ancestor's lead, invade the Xuanhuang Great World, and engage in widespread slaughter.

They swore to make all forces in the myriad heavens and realms once again feel that bone-deep fear of the Fallen Blood Phoenix Clan!

The fierce wind howled.

The Ancient Ancestor, meanwhile, gazed in the direction of the Xuanhuang Great Realm, his eyes filled with icy killing intent.
