On the other side, aboard the Immortal Boat.
"Young friend Ye!"
"The Glazed Holy Lord is dead, and five Fiery Sun experts from the Glazed Holy Kingdom have perished!"
Upon receiving the news, Feng Beihai immediately shared this good news with Ye Xuan, as it concerned the future of the Phoenix Clan and could not be taken lightly.
"Oh?"
Hearing Feng Beihai's words, Ye Xuan's lips curved slightly. "The Phoenix Clan is quite fast."
They hadn't even reached the ancestral land of the Phoenix Clan yet, and they had already received news of the Glazed Holy Lord's defeat. It seemed the strength of the Phoenix Clan was even greater than he had imagined.
"The Glazed Holy Lord is dead just like that??"
Luo Tianyi, overhearing their conversation, couldn't help but be taken aback. After all, the Glazed Holy Lord was one of the Four Hegemonic Powers.
"Heh, young friend, you jest."
"Perhaps you don't realize what your wife means to our Phoenix Clan. These are but small matters."
Feng Beihai said so, clearly not taking it seriously. Ye Xuan smiled without a word, understanding better than anyone what it meant. In the future, the entire Phoenix Clan would likely bow down to this girl.
At that time... the Phoenix Clan joining the Xuan Alliance would be a natural progression.
After some conversation, about half a day passed.
An invisible formation permeated the void. As Feng Beihai made hand seals, a rift appeared in the formation. "We've arrived, young friend, please!"
Upon entering the Phoenix Ancestral Land, the dense energy in the air was at least a hundred times stronger than outside, showcasing the Phoenix Clan's exceptional gifts.
Buzz~~
At this moment, Luo Tianyi's body trembled. In the next instant, a terrifying devouring force spread outwards from her as the center, and her perfect-grade returned-ancestor Phoenix bloodline surged forth.
Even Feng Beihai, who was at the sixth heaven of the皓月 (Hao Yue) realm, felt an overwhelming urge to kneel. Countless Phoenix Clan experts simultaneously looked towards the void. Some weaker Phoenix Clan members immediately prostrated themselves on the ground, their faces filled with awe as they gazed at the source of the boundless pressure above.
"Who is that!?"
"Such a powerful bloodline pressure~~~"
The gazes of many elite Phoenix Clan experts converged on Luo Tianyi. Suddenly, they seemed to recall something. "Could it be... this person is the successor to the Phoenix Clan's next patriarch, as spoken of by the Ancestor Taiyi!!"
"Good heavens~~~"
In an instant, as they thought of this, their gazes towards Luo Tianyi changed.
Swish~
Figures emerged from the distant grand halls of the Phoenix Clan. They were none other than the Phoenix Clan Leader Feng Yunxiao and the seventy-two elders of the Phoenix Clan, clearly attaching great importance to Luo Tianyi joining their clan.
Not only that!
Then...
Terrifying auras emerged from the depths of the Phoenix Clan. With a flash, they appeared in the central area. These were the Fiery Sun realm experts of the Phoenix Clan, led by Feng Taiyi.
"Young friend, Tianyi, this is our Phoenix Clan's strongest, Ancestor Taiyi!"
Feng Beihai respectfully introduced them, then added, "This is our Phoenix Clan's Ancestor Lukong, who was also the leader of this mission to the Glazed Holy Kingdom."
After the introductions, Feng Taiyi spoke first, "Young friend, we are honored that you have agreed to let Tianyi join our Phoenix Clan!"
"Therefore!"
With that, Feng Taiyi flipped his hand and produced a spatial ring. "This contains 5 billion top-grade Holy Crystals, along with 100,000 spirit herbs of a million years old, as a gift for Tianyi joining the Phoenix Clan!"
"Please accept it, young friend!!"
Luo Tianyi's significance to their Phoenix Clan was too great; they dared not be negligent in any way.
"Oh."
"Then I shall not stand on ceremony."
Ye Xuan smiled faintly and then put away the spatial ring. Just then.
Jee~~
A sky-shrouding phoenix cry echoed from above the Phoenix Ancestral Land. In the next moment, the temperature of the entire Phoenix Ancestral Land rose by at least several dozen degrees.
"Not good!"
"This is... the sealed Phoenix Clan's essence blood!!"
Seeing the sudden change, Feng Yunxiao's expression shifted greatly. That was the essence blood left behind by the Phoenix Clan over countless years. It had now developed its own independent consciousness. If it broke free from the seal, the entire Phoenix Ancestral Land would be reduced to a sea of fire.
"All ancestors, join me!"
Feng Taiyi's face was also grave, not daring to be careless. He skillfully set up a formation. Over thirty Fiery Sun realm experts, all with serious expressions, deployed a formation that descended from the void, directly enveloping the phantom formed by the Phoenix Ancestral Essence Blood's consciousness.
"Unworthy descendants, plotting to seal this ancestor, you court death!!"
As the voice fell, boundless energy surged into the formation instantly. Even Feng Taiyi's face paled slightly, as the Phoenix Ancestral Essence Blood's bloodline level was far superior to theirs.
"Oh?"
Ye Xuan's gaze flickered as he looked at the Phoenix Ancestral Essence Blood in the void. In the next moment, he flashed into the void. To the astonishment of countless Phoenix Clan experts, a giant hand, over three thousand feet in size, materialized out of thin air. Then, a destructive thunderous power spread in all directions.
Subsequently, the power of time and space flowed into it...
Boom!!!
A sky-shattering explosion erupted. Countless Phoenix Clan experts stared dumbfounded at the man who dominated the surroundings. Good heavens, who was this person with such formidable strength!!
Then...
An aura of the seventh heaven of the Fiery Sun realm surged forth. Seeing this, Feng Taiyi's pupils contracted sharply. "This is... a seventh heaven Fiery Sun realm expert, how is this possible!!"
Indeed, Feng Taiyi, the most powerful expert of the Phoenix Clan, was stunned. Even though he had lived for countless years, he was only at the peak of the sixth heaven of the Fiery Sun realm, and he didn't know when he would break through to the seventh heaven.
After all, at his level, every slight advancement was as difficult as ascending to heaven.
"Jee~~"
An unbearable piercing pain struck. The independent phantom of the Phoenix Ancestral Essence Blood let out a mournful cry. "Human, unworthy descendants, how dare you!!"
"Why the nonsense!"
Ye Xuan did not give it a chance to speak further. With another palm strike, he sent the independent consciousness phantom of the Phoenix Ancestral Essence Blood flying away. At this moment, Ye Xuan's aura had already soared to the peak of the seventh heaven of the Fiery Sun realm.
As for that phantom, it was roughly equivalent to the eighth heaven of the Fiery Sun realm, and now Ye Xuan could easily defeat it.
"Gulp~"
Feng Lukong swallowed hard. "Good heavens, peak seventh heaven of the Fiery Sun realm!!"
"This... this can't be a dream, can it~~"
"This person is actually this strong!!"
Hearing Feng Lukong's words, Feng Beihai was completely dumbfounded. His mind felt like it had been struck by a thunderclap. What was going on?
Peak seventh heaven of the Fiery Sun realm!!
This strength... even Ancestor Tianyi was far inferior!!!
Feng Yunxiao and the other current nominal leaders of the Phoenix Clan were all stunned. They never expected such a powerful being to appear in their Phoenix Clan. Dammit, this was the level they had only dreamed of reaching.
Strong!
Too strong!!
Jee~~
The phantom of the Phoenix Ancestral Essence Blood became enraged, its combat power soaring. Under these circumstances, the formation that Feng Taiyi and the others had painstakingly set up began to show cracks under the immense pressure. With a "poof."
Including Feng Taiyi, all the experts spat out blood, their faces as pale as paper. The Phoenix Ancestral Essence Blood phantom, having broken free from the seal, its might greatly increased. "Human, withdraw from the Phoenix Ancestral Land, and this ancestor will spare your life!!!"
