He knew that his attack was successful.
However, on the battlefield, it is better to be safe than sorry.
Although he had seen signs that the corpse had completely lost its soul, Xiao Ling did not relax his vigilance.
He took a deep breath, and the soul perception at his brows spread out again like a tide. This time, it no longer condensed into a blade like before, but turned into an invisible large net, instantly covering the entire body of the Sky Demon Phoenix.
He carefully, even with a hint of obsessive-compulsive disorder, conducted a thorough scan of every corner of this huge corpse, every inch of its skin, and even the depths of its energy cores.
Wherever the soul's perception passes, it is like the warm winter sun shining on the ice. Any subtle, even the weakest breath of life or soul fluctuation cannot escape detection.
As time passed, the expression on Xiao Ling's face changed from initial satisfaction to concentration, and finally regained a hint of solemnity.
Finally, when his soul perception thoroughly scanned every corner of the Sky Demon Phoenix's corpse and confirmed that there was no longer any trace of soul fluctuations, and even those remaining energy afterwaves had become dead silent, Xiao Ling slowly breathed a sigh of relief.
"Fortunately, I learned a lot of mental attack methods from the Ancestral Stone Spirit before, and now it comes in handy."
Xiao Ling stroked his chin, his gaze returning to the huge corpse of the Sky Demon Phoenix. He carefully examined the corpse of the once invincible ferocious bird and whispered to himself,
"Otherwise, if we want to solve this problem, we will have to spend a lot of effort and even pay a higher price."
After all, the strength of this corpse of the Heavenly Demon Phoenix was equivalent to that of a three-star Dou Sheng when he was alive. This in itself was a threat that could not be ignored.
However, the reality is much more complicated.
Since the behemoth was controlled by only a remnant soul, the original energy in its body had long been exhausted. The power it displayed at this moment was only a temporary supplement drawn from the sea of blood.
However, despite so many unfavorable factors, it might still be able to exert power close to that of a Douluo.
This is undoubtedly a huge challenge for Xiao Ling. It must be very difficult to deal with, and it is definitely not an easy task.
Although with Xiao Ling's current means, it is definitely not a fatal crisis, but it may not be easy to solve it easily, and it will inevitably bring a lot of trouble.
Fortunately, it was only a remnant soul that controlled the corpse of the Sky Demon Phoenix. And the confrontation at the soul level was exactly what Xiao Ling was best at.
This allowed him to take advantage of the right time and place, and he was able to maximize this advantage, ultimately killing the enemy with a single blow and completely eliminating this powerful threat.
A moment later, Xiao Ling landed gently and came to the front of the huge corpse of the Sky Demon Phoenix.
He leaned over and looked at it carefully, his eyes wandering over its jagged joints and skin covered with dark red feathers.
Compared with the state of the Sky Demon Phoenix's corpse when Xiao Ling first entered this space, there was not much difference except for the charred scar on the chest left by the previous burns and the somewhat embarrassed posture of lying on the ground.
It was intact, not broken or damaged, and still remained in a fairly complete state, as if it had just fallen into a deep sleep.
Xiao Ling looked at it a few more times, and couldn't help but marvel in his heart. Apart from anything else, the value of this Sky Demon Phoenix corpse was definitely not simple.
Just the pair of brightly colored Sky Demon Phoenix wings embedded on both sides of the back, if they could be fully utilized and refined into flying fighting skills, their quality would probably be unimaginably high. Xiao Ling felt shocked just by imagining it.
However, the most important thing is the ninth-level magic core hidden deep in the core of its body.
After all, this is what Xiao Ling wanted to obtain by expending so much effort, risking his life, and sneaking into the forbidden area of the Sky Demon Phoenix Clan.
And this magic core is also directly related to Zi Yan's current state. Thinking of this, Xiao Ling's eyes involuntarily became more determined.
After a careful investigation, Xiao Ling had already locked onto the location of the magic core.
Perhaps, this Heavenly Demon Phoenix had anticipated that its body would be buried in the Phoenix Mausoleum before its death, so it did not bother to hide the magic core, but instead kept it intact in its body.
Xiao Ling's figure flashed and he came straight to the abdomen of the Sky Demon Phoenix's corpse.
With a slight clench of his palm and a thought, the Meteorite Weapon fell into his hand silently.
The tip of the gun flashed a cold silver light, which was particularly dazzling in the dim environment.
He shook his wrist slightly and swung the tip of the gun. Wherever the sharp tip of the gun passed, it caused several tiny ripples in space, as if the space was cut apart.
So sharp, really terrifying.
Xiao Ling did not delay at all, raised his hand and gripped the gun handle tightly, and swung it violently! Under the absolute control of mental power, the tip of the Meteorite Weapon instantly decomposed and turned into densely packed tiny fragments.
These fragments seemed to be pulled by invisible threads, and they immediately condensed and stretched, and in the blink of an eye they turned into a huge sword several meters long!
Xiao Ling shook his wrist slightly and pulled back the blade, accurately and swiftly slashing across the belly of the Sky Demon Phoenix's corpse. With a "puff" sound, a hideous wound deep enough to see the bone was immediately cut open.
Fortunately, the quality of the Meteorite Divine Weapon was extremely good, and Xiao Ling was able to control it precisely with his mental power. Otherwise, it would not have been easy to break open the hard body of the Ninth Rank Heavenly Demon Phoenix, even if it did not have any defensive measures.
Then, Xiao Ling no longer hesitated, and extended his pure mental power, like an invisible big hand, directly into the cut abdomen.
Under his control, the big hand transformed by his mental power quickly took the magic core out of the body of the Sky Demon Phoenix.
A moment later, a magic core emitting tremendous energy appeared in Xiao Ling's sight.
Compared with the huge body of the Sky Demon Phoenix, the original size of the magic core can only be said to be very small, but the size of this magic core is indeed not small.
However, after leaving the body, it gradually shrank, as if it had lost some kind of support, and its size continued to shrink until it was only the size of a palm.
Under Xiao Ling's steady control, it finally fell quietly into his palm.
The main body of this magic core is bright red, with some deep green lines wrapped around it, making it look extremely beautiful.
Xiao Ling held it gently, and could clearly feel the majestic and huge energy surging in his palm.
It can only be said that it is worthy of being a ninth-level magic core from the Heavenly Demon Phoenix. Although Xiao Ling has seen other ninth-level magic cores, the quality of this one is obviously better. The purity of the energy and the blood power contained in it are far beyond the comparison of ordinary magic cores.
Xiao Ling carefully took out a jade box that he had prepared in advance, carefully placed the precious magic core in it, and then solemnly put it into his personal space.
Afterwards, Xiao Ling did not forget the huge remains of the Sky Demon Phoenix. With a wave of his sleeves, a gentle force wrapped up the behemoth and then put it into his personal space.
Chapter 627 Getting ready to leave
After Xiao Ling stored the ninth-order magic core that emitted pure energy and the huge corpse of the Sky Demon Phoenix into his personal space, his figure that was hovering in the air slowly descended and his feet stepped back on the blood pool below.
The aftermath of the battle had not yet completely dissipated, and the air seemed to still linger with the unwilling roar of the Sky Demon Phoenix before its death and the aftermath of the energy explosion. But at this moment, these had nothing to do with him.
The pure energy of the magic core and the various benefits that the huge corpse could bring filled his heart with joy of harvest.
Xiao Ling's mind relaxed a little, and the tension of the battle dissipated a little.
He began to think, and his attention was involuntarily drawn to the huge corpse of the Sky Demon Phoenix, which had been taken into space but whose power was still there.
The body of this top-level monster, whether it is the material itself or other secrets it may contain, is enough to be exchanged for a staggering amount of wealth or resources, which will undoubtedly be of great benefit to his future path of cultivation.
Another thing that made his heart beat fast was naturally the magic core of the ninth-level heavenly demon phoenix.
He could almost imagine what kind of transformation and help it would bring to Zi Yan when he handed over this high-quality Heavenly Demon Phoenix Demon Core to her.
He has always been aware of Zi Yan's talent, and due to the special nature of the Dragon Phoenix Origin Fruit, this magic core will undoubtedly be the best catalyst to help her break through the bottleneck and make further progress.
Just these beautiful ideas were enough to make Xiao Ling's mood involuntarily excited.
The fatigue accumulated from the previous fierce battle and the urging of mental strength was like ice and snow encountering the sun, melting quickly and disappearing without a trace.
Instead, there is a sense of relief and a rising sense of anticipation.
However, just as Xiao Ling was immersed in the joyful fantasy in his heart, an unusual energy fluctuation quietly came from his body, like a stone thrown into a calm lake, causing ripples to spread out gently.
Xiao Ling was acutely aware of this strange feeling, and the excitement in his heart froze for a moment. He immediately gathered his mind, sank his consciousness into his body, and carefully examined it.
In a short while, he locked onto the source. The ancestral stone in his body was moving unusually at this moment, emitting a faint white halo.
Xiao Ling's heart moved, and he immediately concentrated his mind and focused all his attention on the ancestral stone, trying to figure out what was going on.
Although he was still unclear about the specific reason, his intuition told him that the spirit of the ancestral stone must have sensed something and wanted to communicate with him.
Sure enough, when Xiao Ling completely poured his mind into the warm ancestral stone, a familiar and powerful spiritual wave instantly surged into his sea of consciousness.
And this is the spirit of the ancestral stone, which is conveying messages to himself through the relationship between it and the ancestral stone.
The voice of the Ancestral Stone Spirit rang in Xiao Ling's mind, with a rare solemnity and urgency: "Xiao Ling, the sealing power of the Heavenly Demon Phoenix statue you saw when you entered this special space has reached the critical point of collapse. Now it can no longer be suppressed and is falling apart at a speed visible to the naked eye."
“Once the statue is completely shattered, the news here will probably be spread out immediately. When the strong men in the Sky Demon Phoenix Clan notice the movement here, they will probably follow the trail immediately!”
"It would be best if you have already achieved your goal. If not, stop now. No matter how precious the thing you want to take is, it is far less important than your life. If you hesitate any longer, when the people of the Sky Demon Clan arrive, even if you have great abilities, you will not be able to escape successfully."
"I can vaguely sense that there is a strong person in the Sky Demon Phoenix Clan who is not inferior to Yao Chen by many levels. You are not able to deal with such a person at the moment."
The rapid and solemn voice of the Ancestral Stone Spirit was like cold water that instantly awakened Xiao Ling's mind from his joyful fantasy.
He was keenly aware that the situation was now far more urgent than he had imagined.
With the almost eternally unchanging indifferent character of the spirit of the ancestral stone, it is very rare for it to show such strong emotional fluctuations, let alone repeatedly urging and speaking with concern.
The obvious concern that could be heard in its words at this moment was enough to show that the situation had reached a critical point and was indeed not optimistic.
Xiao Ling's mind raced, not daring to be negligent in the slightest.
He immediately mobilized his mental power to convey information to the ancestral stone. He needed to let the spirit of the ancestral stone know his situation and decision.
"Yan, I've got everything I need." Xiao Ling's voice was transmitted through his thoughts, with a hint of urgency, but he tried to remain calm, "I'm ready to evacuate now, you don't have to worry."
Almost at the same time as his thoughts came out, the rapid tone of the Ancestral Stone Spirit gradually calmed down with Xiao Ling's response.
That familiar and steady voice sounded again in Xiao Ling's sea of consciousness, but it still contained a subtle warning:
"In that case, you should prepare to leave immediately. If you want to leave the depths of Phoenix Mausoleum quickly and safely, your own strength may not be enough. You need my full assistance to ensure that nothing goes wrong."
After the communication with the spirit of the ancestral stone ended, the fluctuations in the ancestral stone gradually subsided, and Xiao Ling no longer had the slightest intention of staying.
He knew very well that this was a place of right and wrong, and staying here any longer would be dangerous.
With a quick glance, he noticed that the Meteorite Weapon, which had not yet been retracted, was still floating nearby, emitting a sharp and majestic aura.
Almost the moment the thought flashed through his mind, Xiao Ling no longer hesitated.
He grasped the jet-black divine weapon, which seemed to be forged from star fragments, with his backhand, and he firmly grasped it.
As he picked up the spear, an indescribable feeling of heaviness and power instantly spread to his limbs and bones. With a flick of his wrist, the Meteorite Weapon was no longer just a weapon, but an extension of his will.
"Pfft!"
The Meteoric Divine Weapon cut through the sky, not slashing at any entity, but piercing straight into the twisted void.
As the weapon passed, a huge space crack as deep as ink, as if connecting to another dimension, was torn open silently.
The crack was not empty, but was filled with visible, violent and surging space force, like a hungry beast, roaring silently, ready to tear intruders to pieces at any time.
But Xiao Ling did not hesitate at all, and a look of determination flashed in his eyes.
He stomped his foot suddenly, and the blood pool beneath him seemed to be disturbed, suddenly exploding, stirring up a huge blood-red wave that was hundreds of feet high, briefly enveloping his figure, bringing a strange and beautiful feeling of rebirth in blood.
However, this brief stop was only a moment.
As the blood wave spread out, Xiao Ling became like a long-gathering meteor. His figure suddenly turned into a bright and sharp stream of light. With a resolute momentum, he plunged headfirst into the dark space crack!
At the same moment when Xiao Ling's figure was completely swallowed by the space crack, the crack that tore the void, like a film that had lost its support, began to shrink and close rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye.
