Having helped the Celestial Phoenix Clan obtain the Vermilion Bird Jade, the next step was naturally to find their own Dragon-Phoenix Origin Fruit.
They
weren't far from where the Dragon-Phoenix Origin Fruit was located, so finding it wouldn't be difficult…
Based on their intuition, Mo Tang and his group quickly arrived at their destination.
"Why have all the beast roars disappeared here?"
The Earth Tiger Clan Chief, dressed in a tiger robe, asked, voicing the question on many people's minds.
However, the Celestial Phoenixes present all looked somewhat solemn, staring at the forest not far away…
"That place gives me a special calling. Could it be that there are Celestial Phoenixes like myself in this ancient forest?" Jiu Feng frowned in confusion.
Mo Tang smiled lightly, took a few steps forward, and then slightly raised his palm...
Just as his palm touched the empty space half a foot in front of him, a golden light suddenly appeared out of thin air.
Zi Hong and the others stared at the suddenly appearing golden light, a hint of astonishment flashing in their eyes.
The golden light was shaped like an inverted bowl, round at the top and bottom, with an area of about ten feet. Although the golden light was dazzling, it was obscured by the layers of trees, and it was impossible to see it unless one was very close.
"What is this?"
Zi Hong and the others also flashed to Mo Tang's side, staring at the golden light shield in front of them, their eyes filled with solemnity.
From this mysterious golden light shield, they felt a sense of oppression, a feeling that made them understand that even if everyone here joined forces, they probably couldn't break through this strange golden light shield.
"This is... a Beast Spirit Shield!"
Bi Wu, who had been rarely speaking, couldn't help but exclaim in surprise at the scene before him.
Most of those present were powerful members of the magical beast race, so they naturally knew what a beast spirit shield was…
Mo Tang explained to Little Fairy Doctor in a low voice, "A beast spirit shield is a protective shield that a magical beast with extremely powerful strength in its lifetime condenses at the moment of its death, with the purpose of protecting something."
Judging from the strength of the beast spirit shield in front of them, the one that could condense it was probably no less than a ninth-tier supreme-level magical beast.
This was what Zi Hong and the others thought.
"What kind of magical beast left this beast spirit shield here? If we don't have bloodline power, I'm afraid it will be difficult for us to break through it." The Silver Moon Wolf Clan Chief rarely interjected.
However, his words received no response.
Because in everyone's eyes, Mo Tang had already squeezed a drop of golden blood from his fingertip and drawn it on the golden shield…
As the golden bloodstain was drawn, it rapidly fluctuated, and then the golden shield rippled, and a golden crack slowly tore open.
"Let's go..."
Seeing this, Mo Tang waved his hand and stepped inside, followed closely by Jiu Feng and the others.
As the last person entered the Beast Spirit Shield, the golden light rippled, and the crack quickly disappeared.
The moment they stepped into the Beast Spirit Shield, Mo Tang and the others' vision blurred, and the lush forest vanished instantly, replaced by a desolate plain. §.•´¨'°÷•..× ❻➈şⓗ𝔲א.Ⓒ𝕠м ×,.•´¨'°÷•..§
This plain was quite large, filled with crimson sand that looked as if it had been stained with blood...
Amidst the crimson, there were occasional patches of pale, lime-like white. Looking into the distance, they discovered an ancient, colossal stone altar, hundreds of feet tall, in the center of the plain.
As they approached, a faint but palpable aura of majesty emanated from the altar, causing the fighting spirit within Mo Tang and the others to become blocked.
"Such terrifying pressure..."
The Heavenly Demon Phoenixes were alright, but the others sensed something was amiss.
Even Zi Hong and the other Heavenly Phoenixes vaguely felt that their entry might have been somewhat reckless.
Mo Tang's gaze was fixed on the giant stone altar. Without hesitation, he lightly touched the ground with his toes and flew towards the altar.
Clearly, as an ancient Heavenly Phoenix, he was unaffected by this pressure.
Seeing his actions, Jiu Feng and the others naturally followed closely behind, quickly rushing onto the altar.
As for the others, they said they would wait here and figure out what was going on first...
Upon arriving at the altar, the Heavenly Phoenix and the others saw a golden and purple stone platform in the center...
On the platform, there was a groove about half a foot in size, and within that groove, a small sapling was growing.
The sapling was no more than the thickness of a thumb, yet it coiled and twisted like a giant dragon, and a fruit hung from the top of the sapling.
The fruit, roughly the size of a palm, was a mix of gold and purple. Upon closer inspection, the golden half, winding and twisting, resembled a miniature ancient dragon, while the purple half was a phoenix in flight.
"It's an ancient celestial phoenix!"
At this moment, everyone in the Celestial Phoenix Clan was shaken.
The phantom corresponding to the ancient dragon clearly differed slightly from the Celestial Phoenix.
Moreover, the oppressive aura emanating from the phantom was something only the ancestor of the Celestial Phoenix Clan, the ancient celestial phoenix, could exude!
"This is... the Dragon-Phoenix Origin Fruit!"
Upon recognizing its true form, Jiu Feng's expression changed drastically. Her gaze fixed on the golden-purple fruit, then a fanatical fervor surged in her eyes.
With a flash, Jiu Feng's figure surpassed Mo Tang's, raising his hand to grab the Dragon-Phoenix Origin Fruit...
His movement caused a cold glint to flash in Mo Tang's eyes, and then an overwhelming pressure instantly materialized, stirring up a storm within the entire Beast Spirit Shield.
A piercing phoenix cry that shook the soul rang out, causing the previously crazed Jiu Feng to collapse to the ground in agony!
"Young Master, please show mercy!"
Seeing this scene, Bi Wu and Huang Xuan's expressions changed drastically, the former immediately pleading for mercy.
As the last line of defense sent by Huang Tian to Mo Tang's side, he actually knew Mo Tang's true identity.
Although the Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan nominally had two successors to the patriarch, Bi Wu knew very well that in the patriarch's heart, there had always only been one person for that position!
This was also the real reason why this semi-saint level expert had worked so diligently by Mo Tang's side for over a year!
The Dragon-Phoenix Origin Fruit, a supreme sacred object even for ancient dragons and celestial phoenixes, is not something these impure-blooded celestial phoenixes can possess…
Even if the clan leader Huang Tian were here, he would probably give it to Mo Tang, the true supreme celestial phoenix, without hesitation!
Therefore, when Mo Tang attacked Jiu Feng, Bi Wu didn't stop him, only pleading for mercy.
As for Huang Xuan…
in just a moment, Mo Tang actually mobilized a wisp of ancestral soul power. That level of pressure instantly robbed Huang Xuan of all will to resist, leaving him only able to watch helplessly as the unfortunate Jiu Feng was nearly shattered by the ancestral soul's pressure.
At this moment, he truly realized the monstrous nature of this young man before him…
If he were said to be just a celestial phoenix like himself, Huang Xuan would definitely spit in his face!
"It seems the Heavenly Phoenix Clan is destined for a major upheaval..."
After all, Jiu Feng is backed by the largest branch of the Heavenly Phoenix Clan, the Phoenix Clan. With Phoenix, a peak two-star Dou Sheng, in the family, a change in the clan leader's position would likely be a blow to the entire Heavenly Phoenix Clan.
Of course, things aren't without hope.
If this young man gains enough power to force the entire Phoenix Clan branch to submit, then for the Heavenly Phoenix Clan, a bad situation could quickly turn into a great one!
