Fighting: Practice makes it real, start with a poisonous body.

Chapter 202 The Dragon-Phoenix Origin Fruit Appears in the World!

The group transformed into streaks of light, their fighting spirit carrying a sharp gust of wind, and sped off towards the direction from which the commotion had originated.

In no time at all, the group rushed into a side hall.

The side hall was eerily quiet, resembling a graveyard.

As soon as you step into the hall, a chilling aura hits you, several times more eerie than the previous hall.

There was no light source in the side hall except for a faint light seeping in from the cracks in the walls. The floor was covered with a thick layer of dust, and stepping on it would kick up a choking cloud of dust, making one instinctively tense up.

Everyone immediately stopped in their tracks, their expressions instantly becoming wary, but after a moment, they all frowned slightly.

Apart from the unsettling yin energy, there was no sign of any living creature here, nor any trace of the Three Heavenly Phoenixes.

"They've probably already left."

Xiao Yan's heart sank. Leaving might not be a good thing. Perhaps the Dragon-Phoenix Origin Fruit had already fallen into the hands of the Three Heavenly Demon Phoenixes.

"Don't worry, the Dragon-Phoenix Origin Fruit was born in the place where the Ancient Void Dragon and the Ancient Heavenly Phoenix fell and intertwined. There is not a trace of magical beasts here, so it must not be."

Qi You's voice was strong and clear, indicating that he had recovered considerably.

"I see."

After hearing Qi You's explanation, Xiao Yan's tightly furrowed brows relaxed, and his anxious heart was slightly relieved. Only then did he have time to carefully look around the side hall.

As his gaze swept over the scattered bones on the ground, he suddenly stopped. Not far away, on the ground, lay a unique cluster of golden bones.

The skeleton glowed with a faint luminescence, and even after thousands of years, one could still vaguely sense a powerful aura of a saint, which contrasted sharply with the other decaying and blackened skeletons.

"This is?"

Qi You stepped forward, gazing at the golden skeleton with a complex expression in his eyes: "This is probably the owner of this ruin, a human warrior who was a Dou Sheng a thousand years ago."

The earth-shattering commotion just now must have been caused by the intrusion of the Three Heavenly Phoenixes, which disturbed his slumbering remnant soul and triggered the contingency plan he had left behind in his previous life, resulting in such a devastating attack.

It's a pity that no matter how brilliant he was in life, able to build such a large-scale ruin in the Beast Realm, he was ultimately just a pile of bones after death. Now, even his corpse has been mutilated beyond recognition by the Three Heavenly Demon Phoenixes..."

"Damn the Heavenly Phoenix Clan."

Zi Yan was indignant.

"Look there."

Just as everyone was filled with their own thoughts, Qinglin suddenly stretched out her slender finger and pointed to the wall behind the golden skeleton.

Following her gaze, everyone saw a passage, barely wide enough for two people to walk side by side, suddenly appear on the smooth wall. The passage was pitch black, with only a faint gust of air visible from its depths, leading to an unknown place.

Qi You's expression instantly hardened: "We rushed here from the main hall and did not see any other side roads or passages along the way."

The Three Heavenly Demon Phoenixes and Feng Qing'er are probably here... It seems the real battle is about to begin.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yan subconsciously turned to look at Qi You: "Elder Qi You, with your current injuries, can you still hold on?"

"Even if I risk my old life, I still have the strength to fight."

Qi You shook his head: "Let's go, we can't delay any longer."

"Ok."

Xiao Yan did not try to persuade them further, and the group stepped inside.

…………

After walking swiftly through the dark passage for a while, the group suddenly felt a soft touch under their feet. The darkness before them abruptly disappeared, and at the end of the passage was a bright and open space, filled with a dense jungle.

"Look!"

Zi Yan looked up in confusion, but suddenly covered her mouth and hurriedly spoke up.

Upon hearing the sound, everyone looked up and saw countless dragon and phoenix bones intertwined and suspended in mid-air!

The dragon bones were dark gold in color, with the smallest one being a hundred feet long. The surface of the bones was covered with ancient dragon patterns, and even though they had long lost their vitality, they still exuded a domineering dragon aura!
The phoenix bones were a brilliant crimson, with the patterns of the wing bones clearly visible. Several petrified phoenix feathers remained at the tailbone, and a faint scorching aura emanated from them! Where the two intersected, a huge dome was formed, and a terrifying pressure descended as if it were a tangible force, making everyone's breathing heavy and even slowing down the circulation of their battle qi.

Qi You's pupils contracted, and his voice, filled with barely suppressed excitement, said almost with certainty, "The Dragon-Phoenix Origin Fruit must be here!"
Only in the place where the bones of the Ancient Void Dragon and the Ancient Celestial Phoenix intertwine can such a supreme treasure be born!

Xiao Yan clenched his fists tightly, and all the doubts in his heart were now resolved.

No wonder that human warrior saint-level senior chose to establish the ruins in the Beast Domain, hid the key passage in his own tomb, and laid out a shocking contingency plan.

The purpose of these ruins is not for future generations to explore and search for treasure; they are a forbidden place! All of this is to prevent later generations from getting close and obtaining the Dragon-Phoenix Origin Fruit!

"Their presence is there!"

Just then, Qing Lin's voice rang out, her Jade Serpent Three-Flower Pupils blazed with green light, her pretty face turned slightly cold, and she raised her hand to point towards the center of the space.

Following her fingertip, everyone saw a huge altar standing directly below the intertwined dragon and phoenix bones, right where the heart was!

The altar was made of black rocks, carved with dense runes. The grooves of the runes contained dried dark red liquid. The top was flat and wide, and a faint blood-red mist swirled around it!
"go!"

Qi You shouted and took the lead in activating his battle qi to fly away, with the others following closely behind.

As everyone stepped onto the altar, their eyes were instantly captivated by the sight before them.

The three Heavenly Demon Phoenixes and Feng Qing'er formed a semi-circle around the center of the altar, their eyes flashing with an almost insane obsession as they stared intently at a fruit in the center of the altar!
The fruit was about the size of a fist, and its entire body was an extremely bright red, as if it were carved from solidified phoenix blood essence. There were faint golden and red patterns intertwined on its surface.

The golden patterns resemble ancient dragons, winding and coiling, shimmering with a dark golden glow, as if small dragons were swimming within the patterns; the crimson patterns resemble a phoenix spreading its wings, with tiny, blood-red flames dancing within them.

Two patterns flowed continuously across the surface of the fruit. Sometimes the golden pattern prevailed, exuding a domineering dragon's might; other times the red pattern became more prominent, overflowing with a phoenix's aura that could scorch the heavens and boil the earth!
The bright red fruit, simply placed there, caused the space to distort slightly!
It was as if the world itself was rejecting this divine object, banishing it to the void and forbidding it from being born!

"Dragon Phoenix Origin Fruit!"

Zi Yan couldn't help but exclaim in surprise, her voice filled with shock, and a longing involuntarily welled up deep within her heart.

Swallow it, and you will gain the power to contend with heaven and earth!

"It must have been so kind of you to follow me all this way!"

Just as everyone was lost in thought, the phoenix, the leader of the three Heavenly Demon Phoenixes, suddenly turned its head, its gaze fixed on Xiao Yan and his group, its expression as cold as frost, and it said sharply.

"The Dragon-Phoenix Origin Fruit belongs to His Majesty the Phoenix Emperor! Those who know what's good for them will retreat now and escape death!"
Otherwise, their fate will be like the human saint's skeleton outside! Torn to pieces!

"You think beautiful!"

Zi Yan immediately huffed and puffed.

"The royal bloodline of the Ancient Void Dragon?"

Phoenix narrowed her eyes, a hint of killing intent flashing within them. She suddenly raised her right hand, and crimson flames erupted from her palm, transforming into a blazing fire spear that shot towards Zi Yan with a sharp whooshing sound!

"Tear!"

At the critical moment, a green light flashed in Qinglin's eyes, and Yaoming's pitch-black palm was instantly covered with dense death energy as he met the fire spear without hesitation.

With a muffled "bang," the death energy collided with the crimson fire, and the fire spear was instantly swallowed by the death energy, turning into sparks that dissipated in the air.

"what!"

Zi Yan turned pale with fright and hid behind Qing Lin, her small hands tightly gripping Qing Lin's sleeve, but her eyes still held a stubborn refusal to admit defeat.

"Hand over the Dragon-Phoenix Origin Fruit!"

Qi You took a step forward, and his withered body suddenly burst forth with a fierce aura, his voice booming like a bell, resounding above the altar.

"dream!"

The three Heavenly Demon Phoenixes shouted in unison, and before their words had even finished, their figures suddenly flew up and hovered in mid-air above the altar, their terrifying battle aura brewing wildly around them.

Crimson flames, cyan gales, and black lightning intertwined and swirled, forming three energy vortexes of different colors. The surrounding air was compressed by this aura, making a hissing sound.

The next instant, the three of them waved their hands at the same time, and three terrifying attacks from the Dou Sheng level crashed down: the crimson fire phantom erupted like a volcano, the cyan wind blades fell like a torrential rain, and the black lightning was like the might of heaven, attacking everyone!
War is imminent!
