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

Chapter 209 Fake Jade Slip Strikes a Real Battle Emperor
"However, the Heavenly Tomb is in the ancient realm after all, so we still need to be fully prepared. I'm going there for revenge, not to throw my life away."

The smile on Su Yun's face gradually faded, and his expression returned to calm. With a slight thought, the phantom of the system panel reappeared before his eyes.

[Remaining realization points: 20882600]

"Twenty million eight hundred and eighty thousand two hundred and six hundred... I've never fought such a well-funded battle in my life."

With a flick of his finger, Su Yun took out a lustrous jade slip from his storage ring, which lay quietly in his palm.

"System, manifest a trace of Dou Di aura on this jade slip."

[Ding, host needs detected!]

[To manifest a trace of Dou Di aura, 1000000 Realization Points are required. Manifest now?]

"A mere one million realization points, materialized!"

Su Yun raised his arm, his tone full of decisive and bold spirit.

【Ding! 】

【Manifestation Successful! 】

"boom--!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a vast and boundless imperial might slowly rose from the jade slip, freezing the surrounding space and even dimming the heavens and earth for a moment.

"This thing is like that aura on the Sword Emperor statue before; its apparent effect is greater than its actual effect."

It's enough to fool people if it's used to impersonate a strike from the Sword Emperor...

But I fear the Sword Emperor's inheritance is too tempting. Those ancient monsters from those clans might risk their clan's most treasured Dou Di resources, fighting to the death, just to keep me here.

At this point, Su Yun played with the jade slip in his hand, his expression savoring the moment.

"But if you are really willing to use your Dou Di resources to deal with my mere fake jade slip, then it means that you have already believed it to be real... So how can this thing still be fake?"

A fake jade slip can defeat a real fighting emperor; the fake becomes real, and the fake becomes the victor!

Wow, just thinking about that scene...it makes me feel...excited!

"Buzz, buzz, buzz..."

Just as Su Yun was lost in thought, a faint buzzing sound suddenly entered his ears. His expression shifted slightly, and he took out a Soul-Guiding Jade that gleamed faintly from his storage ring.

"Xiao Yan's communications, too, I almost forgot about them. They must feel very guilty for failing to seize the Dragon-Phoenix Origin Fruit."

As your ancestor, I should also comfort you all.

Su Yun smiled and slowly injected a wisp of soul power into the Soul-Guiding Jade to connect the communication.

…………

Meanwhile, in a secluded mountain cabin...

Xiao Yan, Zi Yan, Qing Lin, and Venerable Tian Huo sat in a circle, their eyes all fixed on the transparent token in the center that emitted a soft white light.

The room was so quiet you could hear a pin drop; only a heavy, oppressive silence filled the air, and everyone's face was heavy with sorrow.

"Om-"

Suddenly, the transparent token trembled slightly, and the moment the communication was successfully established, Su Yun's gentle voice came clearly from the token.

"Xiao Yan, how is the situation? Did you manage to obtain the Dragon-Phoenix Origin Fruit?"

The words "Dragon and Phoenix Origin Fruit" struck the hearts of the four like a heavy hammer.

The group looked at each other, but none of them dared to speak first.

"What's wrong? Say something, no matter what."

"Ancestor..." Finally, Xiao Yan took a deep breath and spoke with difficulty, his voice hoarse and filled with guilt.

"I...I have failed your expectations and I have let down the human race. The Dragon-Phoenix Origin Fruit...I have lost it!"

As soon as the words were spoken, the already oppressive atmosphere in the room froze instantly, and even the sound of breathing became clear.

On the other end of the Soul-Guiding Jade, a long silence also fell, as if Su Yun also needed time to digest this heavy and suffocating news.

After a long while, Su Yun calmly spoke: "Tell me what happened first."

Xiao Yan looked guilty and explained, "This time, we faced off against the Three Heavenly Demon Phoenixes and a fierce battle ensued."

Elder Qi You of the Ancient Dragon Clan sacrificed himself to buy time for Qing Lin, allowing Qing Lin to use an ancient forbidden technique to defeat the Three Heavenly Demon Phoenixes and obtain the Dragon-Phoenix Origin Fruit...

But soon, the Dragon-Phoenix Son suddenly appeared and took Zi Yan hostage. I had no choice but to use Feng Qing'er's life to blackmail him...

But in the end, I couldn't withstand the pressure, and he took the Origin Fruit away... It's all my fault!

Xiao Yan suddenly bent down and knelt heavily before the Soul-Guiding Jade, his forehead hitting the cold ground.

"Such twists and turns..."

A sigh came from Su Yun through the Soul-Guiding Jade, his tone containing no blame, only a trace of melancholy.

"Since ancient times, the will of Heaven has been difficult to fathom."

You don't need to blame yourself so much. Perhaps this calamity was something our human race couldn't avoid anyway.

Qinglin said softly, "Brother Xiao, what should we do now?"
The energy of the Dragon-Phoenix Origin Fruit is too immense. Even for a child of the Dragon-Phoenix lineage, it would take at least several years to fully absorb it. Chasing after it now and finding a way to snatch it back should still be possible.

"Yes! We still have a chance to salvage the situation!"

Xiao Yan suddenly looked up, a glimmer of light rekindling in his eyes, and his voice became urgent: "I haven't dared to reveal my identity to the three seniors of the Pill Tower yet. Now that things have come to this, I can't worry about that anymore!"

I can go to the Dan Tower immediately and, relying on the connections my teacher left behind, ask the Dan Tower for help. We still have a chance!
With the power of the Pill Tower Ancestor, it's not impossible that he could not only reclaim the Dragon-Phoenix Origin Fruit, but also directly kill the Dragon-Phoenix Child!

This kid has this trick up his sleeve?
No, we absolutely cannot let him bring out the Pill Tower Ancestor! If that happens, all our previous plans will be ruined.

Su Yun raised an eyebrow, quickly calculating in his mind, but his tone remained calm and composed: "I'm afraid it's too late to go to the Pill Tower for help now."

Qinglin asked, puzzled, "Why?"

Su Yun said in a low voice, "Have you ever wondered why I have been able to find the whereabouts of the Dragon-Phoenix Child so accurately time and time again?"

He paused for a moment, then continued, "This is because my teacher left me a secret technique."

This method can pinpoint the location of the Dragon-Phoenix Child through the wisp of abandoned Dragon-Phoenix bloodline within him. But just now, my perception of him completely vanished.

I suspect he has already found a secluded paradise, shielded from any detection techniques, and is beginning to refine the Dragon-Phoenix Origin Fruit.

"how so!"

Xiao Yan clenched his fists, his knuckles turning white, a glint of crimson flashing in his eyes: "If we can't find the Dragon-Phoenix Child, we'll attack the Three Heavenly Demon Phoenixes and Feng Qing'er! I refuse to believe we can't force them out..."

He had only spoken half a sentence when a chill suddenly ran through Xiao Yan's heart, and the rest of his words got stuck in his throat, unable to come out.

The Heavenly Fire Venerable, standing to the side, spoke slowly, his expression somber, shattering his last glimmer of hope.

"Stop deceiving yourself."

Have you forgotten that the Dragon-Phoenix Son disregarded Feng Qing'er's life and death in order to kill Zi Yan?

You know how cold-blooded and ruthless he is. Threatening him with subordinates? Absolutely impossible.

Xiao Yan looked unwilling: "Is there really no way at all?"
