208 Phoenix
In the depths of the Phoenix’s Nest, golden Sagely light burst out of the skeleton. The Origin Tracing spell worked, and flesh grew on the skeleton again. In just a moment, it turned into a big lion with wings.
The great lion was majestic and had a cultivation at level 7 of the Supreme Sage realm. It flapped its wings and flew into the depths of the Phoenix’s Nest. At this moment, an elder hidden by the power of the great path suddenly appeared. Qin Chen looked at him and exclaimed, “Crazy old man!”
Although the old man’s body was covered by the power of the great path, Qin Chen was very familiar with the old madman. he could tell at a glance that the elder was the old madman.
“Since it wasn’t easy for you to cultivate, get lost!” The old madman roared, but the great lion didn’t retreat. Instead, it advanced and let out a lion’s roar. It opened its bloody mouth and pounced toward the old madman.
“Since you’re looking for death, don’t blame me,” The crazy old man snorted coldly. He slapped his palm across the air, and the great path trembled. A huge hand descended from the sky. The great lion was sent flying and lay on the ground, on the verge of death.
“Human, how dare you break into our nest? You’re seeking death!” An angry roar rang out, and for a moment, flames filled the sky. Everything was burned, and a phoenix cry resounded through the sky. A flaming divine bird flew over, bathed in flames. Everywhere it passed, the world shook.
“This… This is the phoenix!” The big scorpion turned pale with fright. All the pores on his body opened up, and his entire body trembled. Although it was only an image, he could still feel the pressure on his soul.
The phoenix appeared, but the old madman still did not retreat. Instead, he stepped on tens of thousands of paths and his body was covered in Sagely light as he confronted the phoenix from afar. He shouted, “Phoenix, your race has been in seclusion for several eras. Now that heaven and earth are about to recover, are you still going to continue sinking? ”
“Human, don’t you think you’re being a busybody?” The phoenix said coldly. Its eyes were intimidating, causing Qin Chen and the big scorpion to shiver.
The old lunatic revealed a melancholic expression and sighed, “Back in the heaven burial era, your race’s ancestors had once followed the Supreme Emperor Huang to battle. What exactly is it that has caused you to not even have the courage to show yourself in the world now?”
“Human, it seems that you know a lot! However, what you know is only a small part of it, so don’t show off here. The secret is not something you can know. Go back!” The phoenix said with a hint of disdain in its eyes.
“What’s the secret behind this?” The crazy old man asked.
The phoenix raised its eyes and looked at him. It said in a deep voice, “Human, the secrets hidden are too great. With your current cultivation, you don’t deserve to know. Go back, or you’ll attract great karma and may die here.”
“Hmph, I can leave if you want me to, but I need to borrow your natal divine feather!” The crazy old man coldly snorted and opened his mouth, wanting to borrow the phoenix’s natal divine feather.
“Damn, is this old man crazy? That’s a phoenix! To think he wants to borrow the phoenix’s natal divine feather? Isn’t he just courting death?” The big scorpion cried out in shock. He was shocked by the crazy old man’s arrogant behavior.
As expected, after hearing the old lunatic’s words, the phoenix was immediately enraged. It flapped its flaming wings, bringing with it a sky full of divine flames, suppressing the old lunatic.
“Your race is very strong, but you’ve only been born not long ago. You’re not an adult yet. The current you isn’t my match,” The crazy old man waved his hand, and the void shattered. Chains of the great path shot out, binding the phoenix’s feet and wings, causing it to let out a series of angry cries.
“Human, the experts of my race are sleeping here. If I wake them up, the entire human race will be buried with you,” The phoenix let out a long cry.
“The phoenix is an auspicious divine beast. Your killing intent is too strong, which is not good,” The crazy old man replied softly. He was not threatened by the phoenix. He continued to exert the power of the great path and bound the phoenix in the air.
“Divine feather!” The crazy old man continued to show his might. A chain of great path pierced through the phoenix’s chest, and drops of blood dripped from the sky, landing in the valley where the great lion had fallen. In an instant, the sky was filled with divine flames, and the great lion’s body was also burned. The scene that the Origin Tracing spell showed gradually became blurry.
“Human, I, Feng Jiu, will definitely take revenge!” The phoenix let out a loud cry, and the image disappeared. The skeleton turned back into a pile of white bones, lying quietly on the ground without any signs of being moved.
The big scorpion gulped and looked at Qin Chen. He said in horror, “The human race has such a terrifying person, yet you’re still afraid of the ten thousand ancient races?”
Qin Chen was also surprised. The old lunatic’s combat strength had completely exceeded his expectations. It might be far above that of a God. Otherwise, how could he have suppressed the phoenix? One had to know that phoenixes were the most terrifying divine beasts in the world! Other than the pure-blooded true dragon, who in the world would dare to fight with a phoenix?
Although the phoenix was still young, it had the phoenix’s bloodline. Even a newly born phoenix was more powerful than an ordinary Sage. The cultivation of the phoenix just now was at least above that of a God, but it was still suppressed in the end. From this, it could be seen how strong the old lunatic was.
What surprised Qin Chen even more was that when he used the Origin Tracing spell just now, the old lunatic’s mind had been very clear. There were no signs of madness. Qin Chen was a little confused. What exactly happened to the old lunatic? Where was he now?
“Elder King, the phoenix blood essence has already turned into inextinguishable flames. How am I supposed to collect it?” The big scorpion suddenly opened its mouth. It salivated at the phoenix blood essence.
Qin Chen looked at the divine flames around him. His body was emitting Sagely light as he used an emperor-grade supernormal knowledge to gather all the flames and slowly refined them into a drop of blood. However, just as the blood was about to take shape, the divine flames suddenly showed their power and returned to their original state, leaving Qin Chen and the big scorpion helpless.
“No way, are we going to make a wasted trip? The phoenix blood is right here, but we can’t even collect it. This is really infuriating,” The big scorpion had an ugly expression on his face. He used a secret technique to gather the divine flames, but in the end, he still ended up empty-handed.
“AI! It seems like we’ve made a wasted trip,” Qin Chen let out a sigh. His eyes were filled with disappointment. If he could obtain the phoenix blood essence, his cultivation would be greatly improved. But now, it was all in vain.
The two of them looked disappointed, but just as they were about to leave, a white light flashed from Qin Chen’s storage ring, and a big black pot appeared out of thin air.
The big black pot hung in the air. The emperor rune in the pot flickered, and a terrifying suction force burst forth, gathering the surrounding divine flames and turning them into blood essence bit by bit.
In less than 15 minutes, a drop of fire divine blood appeared in the pot, releasing a terrifying aura. It brought extremely terrifying pressure on Qin Chen and the big scorpion!
