A radiant glow poured down from the heavens, only to suddenly dissolve at a distance of ten zhang from the slender figure, vanishing in an instant. The destructive force that had been so powerful was now completely gone. Xiang Yan and the others stared in astonishment at the small figure before them, suddenly sensing an incomparable, overwhelming pressure emanating from within her. Compared to this pressure, the ancient celestial phoenix seemed vastly inferior. "Each of them has summoned the ancestral spirits still lingering here," said Tian Huo, the Master of Heavenly Fire, in amazement. Xiang Yan nodded slightly, his gaze lingering on the massive skeletons scattered across the plain, deeply impressed. He had never imagined that after so many years, the ancient void dragon and the ancient celestial phoenix still retained such formidable energy. Clearly, both of these beings had been at least at the Battle Saint level during their lifetimes. "The ancient void dragon?" The sudden appearance of Zǐ Yán and the ancestral spirit she summoned immediately caused a look of shock on the faces of the cloaked elder and others. Only now did they realize that someone must have guided Xiao Yan and his companions into the Beast Spirit Enclosure, and that only the supreme being of the Beast Kingdom—the Primordial Void Dragon—could open it. While the Primordial Void Dragon was exceptionally rare, they initially thought Xiao Yan and his party had employed some unknown method. However, the sudden emergence of Zǐ Yán now made them clearly understand that among Xiao Yan’s companions, there actually existed a true Primordial Void Dragon! "Stay calm—the Primordial Void Dragon is still young!" The cloaked elder's eyes flashed rapidly as he observed the others' growing panic. With a quick glance, he沉稳ly commanded, "Qing'er, act now. Use the ancestral spirit to eliminate her!" As soon as he finished speaking, the cloaked elder sharply turned his gaze toward Feng Qing'er in the sky, his voice sharp with intensity. Hearing that the cloaked elder intended to strike and kill the Primordial Void Dragon, the others present—especially the Thunder Sovereign—could hardly suppress their trembling. For this enigmatic and powerful race, no one could help but feel profound awe; should the Primordial Void Dragon later discover that members of their own clan had perished at their hands, disaster would surely follow. While their hearts raced with anxiety, Feng Qing'er in the sky remained composed, nodding calmly. With the aid of the ancient Heavenly Phoenix ancestral soul, she now felt no further fear. Gently clutching her jade hands, a brilliant golden light surged forth from within her body. Then, with a single punch, a clear and resonant phoenix cry echoed through the heavens, and instantly, a golden phoenix took shape. As its massive wings spread and beat, the entire sky trembled, creating an awe-inspiring spectacle. The Golden Phoenix took shape, its wings sweeping out with a single motion, casting a vast shadow that surged directly toward the gathered crowd on the altar. Under the immense weight of that shadow, the attendees truly felt an irresistible force—power so overwhelming... Faced with such a formidable display, Purple Yan, her body glowing with a steady purple radiance, slowly took two steady steps and gently clenched her hands in the air, pressing firmly against the colossal Golden Phoenix. Noticing the situation of Jinhuang, Feng Qing'er's cheeks turned pale, and a mouthful of blood, tinged with purple, sprayed out—directly projected into the air, landing instantly upon Jinhuang's body. The sudden surge of blood power, like oil poured onto flames, caused Jinhuang's golden glow to blaze forth brilliantly. With a powerful flap of its wings, Jinhuang broke free from the collapsing space, transforming into a radiant beam of gold and shooting straight toward the altar. As her palm tightened, the colossal body of the primordial ethereal dragon twisted violently, exerting a force so immense it could have shattered heaven and earth, tearing the Golden Phoenix apart into scattered golden light orbs. "Pfft!" The Phoenix shattered—Feng Qing'er's face instantly paled, and she gasped, spitting out a stream of blood. Her body wavered as she staggered backward, the golden light in her eyes rapidly fading, and her ancestral soul force vanishing in a flash. "The ancestral soul has been completely shattered!" Feng Qing'er lifted her gaze in shock, staring at the slender figure in the distance. The ancestral soul, renowned throughout her lineage as invincible in battle, had only recently been summoned and now suffered such a decisive defeat. Seeing the golden light fade from Feng Qing'er's eyes, the cloaked elder felt his heart sink. He had not expected that among Xiao Yan's party, there would be a primordial ethereal dragon hidden all along, and the ancestral soul still lingering within the beast's spirit cocoon clearly demonstrated that this dragon was even more powerful. "Master Phoenix, what should we do?" Seeing that Feng Qing'er, who had just been displaying such magnificent prowess moments before, now faced such a devastating defeat, the other elders felt a growing sense of unease and quickly asked. The cloaked elder's eyes flashed with determination, and after a brief pause, he firmly declared, "We're leaving!" "Master Phoenix, that's the Dragon-Phoenix Origin Fruit!" The white-haired man protested immediately. "Then what? Can you still secure it now?" the cloaked elder replied, his expression stern. The white-haired man paused. Though Xiao Yan's overall strength was comparable to theirs, with the addition of the Primordial Void Dragon's aid, their position had now become clearly disadvantaged—how could they possibly claim the Dragon-Phoenix Origin Fruit? "Hurry! They will eventually have to depart from this Beast-Spirit Enclosure. Once the Primordial Void Dragon's ancestral soul is no longer assisting them, opportunities will multiply!" The cloaked elder acted decisively, recognizing the deteriorating situation, and with a swift gesture, stepped back swiftly. Seeing this, the other elders, including Lei, promptly followed. "Just let you all enjoy a little more!" The white-haired man gritted his teeth with growing frustration, yet knowing the current situation, he could only glare bitterly at the altar before reluctantly stepping back. "Hmph!" When he saw these people intent on leaving, Zi Yan coldly exhaled, then launched a fist through the air. A deep, resonant thud echoed as a dark rift in the void space surged outward like lightning, swiftly advancing toward Feng Qing'er and her companions. Feeling the terrifying gusts of wind sweeping past, the elderly black-robed figure's face paled. His internal qi erupted fully, and he turned to meet the force of the crackling rift with a powerful palm strike. The two forces collided with tremendous force. "Pfft!" The fierce impact caused the elder to choke, spitting out a thick stream of blood. He swiftly retreated, and as he did, a crack appeared in the beast spirit shield, which then absorbed him whole. "Hurry up and go!" As the cloaked elder leapt out of the beast spirit dome, his hoarse voice rushed urgently into the ears of Feng Qing'er and the others. Seeing that he could not even block Ziyan's palm at this very moment, the faces of Lei Zun and the others grew increasingly grave, and they scrambled out of the cracks one after another, appearing extremely awkward and disheveled. Watching the cloaked elder and his companions flee like a dog in distress, Xiao Yan and his companions could not help but chuckle quietly, then their eyes filled with awe as they gazed at Ziyan before them—this ancient, ethereal dragon truly was no ordinary being; even the residual ancestral spirits had grown so powerful. "Hmph..." As the last person emerged from the beast spirit dome, Ziyan's body trembled, her vibrant purple glow rapidly fading, and her face grew notably pale. "Are you all right?" Seeing this, Xiao Yan quickly stepped forward to support her, retrieved a pill from his storage seal, and placed it in her mouth, expressing his concern. "There's nothing really, the ancestral spirit is too strong and puts a heavy burden on me..." Zi Yan shook her head, her complexion slightly improved after swallowing the pill, though her voice sounded a bit hoarse. "Fortunately, I've already injured that old man—his combat strength will likely weaken by at least two-tenths. That way, when we meet again, it won't be such a daunting challenge." "Hmm." Xiao Yan nodded slightly, gently patting Zi Yan's back. "Don't worry. With that old man, he still hasn't the strength to snatch the Dragon-Phoenix Origin Fruit away." "Right now, we can't do much, but they won't give up. Once we step out of the ruins, they'll surely gather stronger members from within the clan. I'll have to send a message back to the clan—no way will the Dragon-Phoenix Origin Fruit fall into the hands of the Sky-Phoenix Clan." Zi Yan said with a serious expression. This was the first time in all these years that Xiao Yan had seen her so earnest. Clearly, the Dragon-Phoenix Origin Fruit held immense significance for her. "Hmm, if the ancient void dragon clan can send one of its strong members, the Heavens' Phoenix clan should have no reason to harbor any doubts..." Xiao Yan nodded gently. "You take the Dragon-Phoenix Source Fruit first, so as not to have any further complications." Zi Yan nodded and hurried to the stone platform, pricking her finger and spreading her blood across her hands before carefully touching the Dragon-Phoenix Source Fruit. As soon as the fruit came into contact with her hands, it burst forth with a brilliant, intense glow. Then, the fruit transformed into a liquid of golden and purple hues, flowing smoothly into her hands and gradually seeping into her body. When the liquid disappeared, a pattern emerged on the palm of her hand—exactly the shape of the Dragon-Phoenix Source Fruit. "The energy of this fruit is truly overwhelming. For now, I can only temporarily seal it within my body. Eventually, I'll still need the clan elders to handle it," Zi Yan murmured. "Since we've secured what we came for, let's set out and leave. I'm curious to know if the rest of the ruins have revealed the existence of the Heavenly Stage Combat Technique." Xiao Yan smiled lightly, equally intrigued by that technique.
