The feathers of the Phoenix Clan beings, combined with them, could ignite the most terrifying might.
"Rumble!"
At this moment, Dian Wei and the others were simultaneously suppressed by a mighty force. The long rainbow, manifested by the yellow speck, had traversed infinite space and time. Coupled with the fall of the Cheng Tian Zhi Mu, the mortal body severed by the Immortal Lord when entering the Immortal Realm, its contained divine power, though not of the top Chaos Dao Venerable level, was at the beginner stage. This was something that even supreme beings like them, who were not prominent, could not resist.
"Boom!"
The divine powers of the three sides collided, and a terrifying vortex of spiritual energy raged. The formidable power exploded and ignited in the middle of the Cheng Tian Zhi Mu.
"Thank goodness! We managed to block it!"
The feather in Xia Xin Yu's hand turned to dust, and the wooden sword in Wang Zhuo's hand also dissipated. At this moment, both felt an indescribable bitterness. This was their most powerful trump card, and without it, they, by joining forces, had managed to shatter the yellow speck, which was no longer at its peak.
Terrifying!
"Boom!"
The terrifying energy storm began to churn outward, and the sky here shattered inch by inch, the terrifying energy preventing the void from repairing itself!
"Be careful, everyone, and leave here quickly. If you stay any longer, I will have no more trump cards to block this terrifying, world-ending slaughter for you!"
After a long while, Wang Zhuo's eyes were filled with boundless rage. Not only did he miss the sealed land of the Candle Dragon's primordial spirit, failing to complete his family's important mission, but for himself, it was a case of losing his wife and soldiers.
"Let's go quickly, this is not a place for us!"
Xia Xin Yu nodded gravely. If she had reached the realm of a Chaos Dao Venerable, she would have truly wanted to look up above, perhaps gaining some extraordinary harvest. Alas...
Dian Wei and the others hurriedly nodded. Facing a yellow speck as small as a fly, they had almost been wiped out. If it weren't for Xia Xin Yu and Wang Zhuo being present, killing them ten thousand times over would likely not have been enough.
The few of them glanced around, identified their direction, and bypassed the location of the Cheng Tian Zhi Mu from the left, continuing to advance forward.
After the incident with the Cheng Tian Zhi Mu, they remained extremely cautious while traversing the void, not daring to release their divine senses to scan their surroundings. There might be mysterious forces that they could not contend with descending upon them and suppressing them all.
"Such a vast cave, and so much effort expended, was it all just to seal the withered body of the Cheng Tian Zhi Mu?" Wang Zhuo was puzzled.
"But that tiny speck of light, as small as a fly, forced you and me to use our most powerful trump cards to finally shatter it. Possessing such terrifying divine power, would the Immortal Lord have bothered to move the withered body of the Cheng Tian Zhi Mu from the core of the Central Continent to this place?"
Dian Wei, Long Ju, and Yang You Ji looked at Xia Xin Yu gravely. Although Xia Xin Yu and Wang Zhuo were beings of the same era, in the eyes of the three, Xia Xin Yu knew more and was slightly more powerful.
Xia Xin Yu frowned gravely. She was also perplexed by this matter. If she hadn't encountered that mirror in her previous life and her primordial spirit hadn't been severely injured, she might have uncovered quite a few mysteries.
As it was, she was also clueless. What else could there be here?
They walked and stopped, and after a few days, they discovered an ancient rune, identical to the runes inherited by the Chu family, but more complex and mysterious than those of the Chu family. In front of this rune lay a wooden sword refined from the tender sprout of the Cheng Tian Zhi Mu, pointing directly to the north.
The group stood at a distance, not daring to approach.
"That should have been left by the Immortal Lord. But who, in the late ancient period, other than the Immortal Lord, could have severed and refined a tender sprout of the Cheng Tian Zhi Mu!" Wang Zhuo took a deep breath.
"The wooden sword is pointing north, what is it telling us?"
"Or is it a marker left by the Immortal Lord for himself?"
Xia Xin Yu said as she looked. For a moment, she couldn't tell. The others were even more clueless and simply gave up, sitting cross-legged and quietly listening to the conversation between Xia Xin Yu and Wang Zhuo.
Xia Xin Yu then said, "This is an ancient rune inherited by the Chu family. This rune is a rune for enhancing killing techniques. The wooden sword refined from the Cheng Tian Zhi Mu, could it be that the Immortal Lord encountered a strong foe? If he left a marker, there would be no need to use such a precious item!"
"You are right. It is likely that the Immortal Lord encountered some powerful being here!" Wang Zhuo suddenly said.
Dian Wei and the others looked at Wang Zhuo. Wang Zhuo was holding a piece of rust-covered armor in his hand.
"Void Demonic Energy!"
"The Immortal Lord encountered a being from the Void Demon race!!" Xia Xin Yu said, looking at the rust-covered piece of armor.
"It seems that the battle back then did not completely clear out the strong individuals of the Void Demon race! Let's go, following the direction indicated by the wooden sword."
"Swish!"
Xia Xin Yu and Wang Zhuo dashed away at high speed. Dian Wei and the others quickly got up and followed, traversing the void. After they moved away from that place, the suspended wooden sword suddenly turned crimson, as red as fresh blood.
"Hum~~"
The wooden sword moved slightly, and from pointing north, it abruptly pointed west. With a bang, thousands of times faster than Xia Xin Yu and the others, it shot towards the west. The wooden sword rushed out of the cave, bypassed the battlefield where Dian Wei fought Chu Fan, and continued westward, breaking out of this secret realm. With extreme speed, it rushed into another secret realm adjacent to this one.
In about two breaths of time, it directly arrived at the core of this secret realm. Here, the earth was cracked, everything was burning with fierce flames, blood was everywhere, and pieces of flesh were scattered about. The vast majority were the remains of beings from the Zhan family and the Jian family.
"Dong dong~~"
Three figures emerged from a ruin. The first among them was the leading strong being of the Jiang Zuo family, Jiang Zuo Zi Nan!
In his palm, he held a wooden coffin the size of his palm. With a hum, a blood-red light flashed before Jiang Zuo Zi Nan's eyes, and then the wooden coffin in his hand burst forth with boundless bloody light, soaring into the sky!
He stared fixedly at the wooden coffin in his hand, saying nothing, his gaze very calm. As the blood-red light gradually weakened, the original wooden coffin had now transformed into a blood-red coffin.
The corners of his mouth curved slightly: "So that's how it is!"
Meanwhile, Xia Xin Yu and the others had passed the spot of the wooden sword and had traveled an unknown distance northward, the terrain changing rapidly.
Until a palace, thousands of feet high, appeared before their eyes. The outer layer of this palace was carved with dense Chu family runes, some of which were still circulating divine power.
"This ancient palace is very mysterious. Look at the Chu family's inherited runes carved all over the outside. These were likely inscribed by the Immortal Lord. Is he suppressing something?" Xia Xin Yu said with a grave tone.
"Perhaps only by entering can we know. What are your opinions? I intend to go in and take a look!" Wang Zhuo said calmly.
"Of course, we must go in. There are likely the most traces of the Immortal Lord inside, so we definitely cannot miss it!" Xia Xin Yu added immediately.
