Upon hearing Bi Wu's words, Mo Tang also restrained his aura.
Even for Mo Tang, fully activating the Heavenly Phoenix Ancestral Soul within the Beast Spirit Shield wouldn't be easy, but he could still manage with his Heavenly Phoenix bloodline and a little bit of its power.
Of course, he didn't intend to actually kill Jiu Feng.
After all, the Phoenix was quite powerful and would be considered a high-end combatant in the future, so he couldn't afford to offend it outright.
However, after standing up, when Jiu Feng looked at Mo Tang again, his eyes were filled with fear…
"You…you are…"
With his mouth agape, Jiu Feng still dared not utter that name.
The blow he had suffered this time was simply too great…
Wasn't it said that such a thing had long been extinct on the Dou Qi Continent?
How could this kid who appeared out of nowhere possibly be such a supreme beast?
Mo Tang glanced at the guy and said softly, "Just keep it to yourself, don't say it out loud, otherwise even a phoenix can't save you."
The Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan isn't prepared to reveal the existence of an ancient Heavenly Phoenix, as that could potentially change the entire continent's situation.
At the very least, if news of an ancient Heavenly Phoenix emerging from the Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan were leaked, the Beast Domain would likely experience a violent upheaval. Taking
a deep breath, Jiu Feng steadied herself and nodded bitterly, "I understand."
It seemed that from the moment this person appeared, Clan Chief Huang Tian had already discovered his identity.
No wonder the Clan Chief insisted on pushing this young man, who had just entered the clan, to such a high position; he must have made his final decision back then…
Thinking of this, she shook her head with a bitter smile.
He had been thinking about how to compete with the other party for the clan leader position, but it seemed he was already out of the game from the start…
Mo Tang sensed the power left behind by the Ancient Heavenly Phoenix Ancestral Soul and shook his head slightly with a sigh: "What a pity, I can't take this with me. Otherwise, with such a powerful ancestral soul by my side, I would be able to fight even a Saint-level expert!"
Between the Ancient Void Dragon and the Ancient Heavenly Phoenix who left behind the Beast Spirit Shield, the Ancient Heavenly Phoenix was actually at a disadvantage. Otherwise, in the original story, even the young Zi Yan wouldn't have been able to use the Ancient Void Dragon's ancestral soul to repel the Heavenly Demon Phoenix and its companions.
However, since there was no second Ancient Void Dragon to cause trouble for him, obtaining the Dragon-Phoenix Origin Fruit was not difficult at all.
Mo Tang walked to the stone platform, cut his palm, smeared his hands with blood, and then carefully touched the Dragon-Phoenix Origin Fruit.
The moment the Dragon-Phoenix Origin Fruit touched Mo Tang's injured golden blood, it erupted with a blinding light. Then, the Dragon-Phoenix Origin Fruit transformed into a golden-purple liquid, silently seeping into his body. As
the liquid disappeared, a pattern appeared in Mo Tang's palm—the very image of the Dragon-Phoenix Origin Fruit.
Of course, Mo Tang merely absorbed the Dragon-Phoenix Origin Fruit into his body; he hadn't actually refined it.
The energy within it was far too immense. Trying to refine it would likely lead to the same fate as Zi Yan in the original story, so Mo Tang wouldn't attempt it rashly.
Moreover, he also has a system…
"Discovered a treasure that can enhance the host's bloodline, the Dragon-Phoenix Origin Fruit. Do you wish to spend 100,000 points of advanced energy to fuse and enhance your bloodline?"
"Note: Because this item contains an enormous amount of energy, the fusion process will take a month. Please be mindful of your time."
"Yes/No."
Mo Tang raised an eyebrow. "A month? That's not too long…"
At least, with the system's help, he wouldn't encounter a situation like Zi Yan in the original story, unable to break through the Dragon-Phoenix energy crystal wall on her own.
Compared to this, the 100,000 high-level energy points were nothing.
For Mo Tang, currently a Seven-Star Dou Zun, 100,000 energy points were barely enough to advance him by one star. However, after fusing with the Dragon-Phoenix Origin Fruit, Mo Tang was certain he could leap into the Saint-level realm!
After obtaining the Dragon-Phoenix Origin Fruit, the Beast Spirit Shield centered on it instantly collapsed and disappeared.
Mo Tang scanned his surroundings and suddenly flew into the air…
The others were startled by his action, and then also ascended to the sky, looking down at the land below.
From this vantage point, they discovered that the pale color within the crimson earth they had previously seen faintly outlined the skeleton of an extremely large dragon and a Heavenly Phoenix!
Clearly, those pale colors weren't stones, but genuine dragon bones and the remains of a Heavenly Phoenix…
Mo Tang looked at Jiu Feng and the other two, and said in a deep voice, "These dragon bones and phoenix remains are rare treasures; you should keep them…"
Mo Tang's words made Huang Xuan and the others nod.
After all, these were the remains of a Dou Sheng, and the remains of their ancestor at that; they couldn't let them continue to lie exposed in the wilderness.
As for the Ancient Void Dragon, they could just take it as a casual matter; perhaps they could exchange it for something later.
After settling everything, Mo Tang smiled, looked at everyone present, and said, "Alright, now that we have everything, let's get going. I wonder if the main hall of the ruins is open. I think everyone is interested in the possible Heavenly Rank Dou Techniques…"
…
…
On the main hall plaza of the ruins, a considerable number of people had already gathered.
There were probably several hundred people scattered among them.
Aside from a few lone travelers, most of these people were powerful forces with considerable reputations in the Central Continent. Many of them had conflicts with each other, yet they all waited quietly and peacefully.
When Mo Tang and numerous powerful members of the Heavenly Phoenix Clan arrived, it caused a stir.
After all, as one of the top families in the Beast Domain, they were arguably the strongest force present.
Especially seeing the Heavenly Luan Clan joining forces with the Heavenly Phoenix Clan, the expressions of those with ulterior motives became even more grim…
like the Senluo Ghost Lord of the Heavenly Nether Sect, or the Star-Picking Old Ghost representing the Soul Palace…
they were all on missions, and if they encountered this flock of miscellaneous birds from the Heavenly Phoenix Clan, their missions might fail. Therefore, upon seeing Mo Tang and his group, they immediately began calculating how to gain an advantage in the upcoming competition…
The atmosphere in the arena grew increasingly strange with the arrival of Mo Tang and his group, and the spatial seal that had been sealing the main hall began to ripple at this moment.
An undercurrent of tension surged, and everyone silently began preparing for the final, bloody battle to come!
