The black edges squeezed inward rapidly, making a slight and heart-pounding "crackling" sound, as if to erase everything that had just happened.

But within a few breaths, the crack completely disappeared, as if it was just an illusion, and the place returned to its previous silence, leaving only the bottomless sea of ​​blood below, still surging and boiling uncontrollably.

……

At the same time, outside the independent space used to store the corpse of the Sky Demon Phoenix, the situation was taking a turn for the worse.

The statue of the Heavenly Demon Phoenix that originally stood in the center of the altar has now almost completely collapsed, no longer having its former majesty and integrity.

The broken fragments were crumbling, barely able to piece together the rough outline of what they were before, but the shaky posture seemed as if it would completely fall apart at any time and turn into dust.

An indescribable shock force originating from the core is continuously escaping from the inside of the statue, impacting the foundation of the altar, causing the entire space to tremble slightly, as if it will completely collapse in the next moment.

On one side of the altar, the spirit of the ancestral stone formed by pure white energy was floating quietly, its eyes fixed on the statue of the Heavenly Demon Phoenix that was about to collapse completely.

It had previously tried all the means it could think of, whether it was trying to stabilize the statue itself or reinforcing the altar structure, but in the face of the collapsing force originating from the core, it ultimately seemed powerless and at a loss.

At this moment, all it could do was to place all its hopes on Xiao Ling, hoping that he could finish the business at hand as soon as possible, withdraw from that space, and quickly set up the formation to leave.

He must take Xiao Ling and evacuate this dangerous place before the statue completely collapses and the news of its internal seal leaks out.

At this moment, in front of the location of the incomplete statue, the space seemed to be torn apart by an invisible giant hand, and a dark crack appeared out of thin air.

In an instant, a figure jumped out nimbly. It was Xiao Ling who had just rushed back through space jump.

Seeing Xiao Ling return in time, the Ancestral Stone Spirit floating beside him had a look of relief in its eyes, and then nodded slightly, with a hint of imperceptible urgency in its tone:

"Finally I got out. I'm glad there was no delay..."

Its words seemed to still carry the nervousness it had just felt when it delivered the message.

As soon as Xiao Ling's feet touched the ground and his mind was not yet completely stable, he immediately sensed something strange about the statue of the Heavenly Demon Phoenix behind him.

He turned around suddenly and saw that the remains of the statue were more precarious than he had imagined, with cracks all over it, as if a gust of wind could blow it away completely.

This scene was exactly the same as the message previously conveyed by the spirit of the ancestral stone, confirming the urgency of the situation.

"Now that all the things have been packed up, we shouldn't stay here for long!" The voice of the ancestral stone spirit rang directly in the depths of Xiao Ling's soul, with an unquestionable urging.

It turned into a soft white light and quickly floated towards Xiao Ling. As it approached, it continued to speak:

"Hurry up and give me the things you prepared earlier. Prepare everything I need! This statue won't last much longer. We can't afford any more delays! Every minute and every second is crucial!"

The urgent and solemn words of the spirit of the ancestral stone made Xiao Ling instantly retract his gaze from the stone statue of the Heavenly Demon Phoenix.

He took a deep breath, suppressed the waves in his heart, nodded solemnly to the ancestral stone spirit that was slowly approaching, and said in a deep voice: "Yan, I'll leave it to you from now on."

In response to Xiao Ling's instructions, the spirit of the ancestral stone simply nodded lightly without saying a word.

However, such a simple action contained an indescribable sense of calmness and trust. It was as if an invisible reassurance had penetrated into the depths of Xiao Ling's mind, calming his originally somewhat chaotic mood involuntarily, and a sense of solid stability quietly permeated him.

Xiao Ling did not delay at all. He gently stroked the storage ring hanging on his fingertips. With a slight thought, a warm jade slip appeared out of thin air in his palm.

This jade slip was none other than the space jade slip that Yao Chen had specially refined for him. Not only was it engraved with an exquisite space-shifting array, it also used the secret technique of the talisman master to seal Yao Chen's extremely condensed full-strength attack.

If Xiao Ling uses his powerful mental strength to drive the power of this seal with all his strength, the power will completely explode, and the power will be far beyond imagination, enough to tear apart the space barrier and become one of the decisive factors for them to escape.

After handing this crucial jade slip to the spirit of the ancestral stone, Xiao Ling took out dozens of eighth-level magic cores from his personal space.

There is a faint energy halo flowing on the surface of these magic cores, and there is a vast and pure energy contained inside. It is the key resource used by the spirit of the ancestral stone to drive the formation.

In fact, if a ninth-order magic core is used, the effect will definitely be more significant and the efficiency will be higher.

However, the preciousness of the ninth-level magic core is no longer comparable to that of the eighth-level magic core, and it is not something that can be consumed at will.

Xiao Ling would rather consume more eighth-level magic cores than use such rare treasures as consumables.

Just as Xiao Ling took out the necessary materials, the spirit of the ancestral stone no longer hesitated, and lightly tapped with its fingertips, outlining in the air.

A huge and complex formation pattern, as if it had life, slowly emerged and extended from the void.

The array patterns are intricate and the light flows unsteadily, sometimes magnificent and golden, sometimes dark and deep, full of mysterious charm. Every line and every node seems to contain some truth of the universe, which appears extremely mysterious.

Xiao Ling looked at it intently. He was not completely unfamiliar with this formation.

As far as he knew, this formation was probably one of the formations created by the top powerful man from the universe, the savior of the Tianxuan Continent, the man known as Fu Zu. The spirit of the ancestral stone also learned this skill from Fu Zu.

Its core function is to absorb and bless objects containing tremendous energy, infusing their energy into an attack, increasing the power and effectiveness of the attack exponentially. It can be called a nearly violent means of breaking through boundaries.

And this was exactly the key method in Xiao Ling's plan, which was to forcibly tear apart the space barrier, leave the Phoenix Mausoleum space, and even directly leave the Sky Demon Phoenix Clan's clan world.

Chapter 628 is Chapter Yao Chen takes action

When the spirit of the ancestral stone had completely arranged the formation, it once again activated a few mysterious hand seals.

As the hand seals changed, the eighth-level magic cores that had been placed at the various array points around the formation seemed to be injected with new life, and each one began to tremble violently.

Immediately afterwards, powerful and pure energy gushed out from these magic cores like a flood that broke through a dam, instantly filling the entire area.

Xiao Ling could clearly feel that the energy concentration in the surrounding space had become many times richer, almost condensed into substance, and was blowing towards him with a scorching heat wave.

Afterwards, the spirit of the ancestral stone changed its hand seals again, like an experienced helmsman, accurately guiding this violent energy.

They made low humming sounds along the intricate patterns on the formation, gathering and surging like a surging tide, pointing straight to the key item at the core of the formation, the space jade slip made by Yao Chen himself and given to Xiao Ling.

Under the precise control of the spirit of the ancestral stone, the power of this huge formation was fully unleashed.

Under the effect of this formation, the massive amount of energy released by those magic cores at once was poured into the space jade slip in full and accurately without any waste.

The torrent of energy surged inside the jade slip, emitting a heart-pounding hum, and the surrounding space was unconsciously rippling.

The spirit of the ancestral stone saw that the torrent of energy had all poured into the jade slip. The light on the surface of the jade slip became brighter and brighter, and there seemed to be signs of space distortion inside. It immediately cast its gaze towards Xiao Ling who was floating in the air, and said in a hurried tone:

"Xiao Ling, it's your turn now! You must immediately activate the jade slip and awaken the will that Yao Chen left in it."

It changed the subject, with an unmistakable urgency:

"Otherwise, the consequences will be disastrous! This jade slip simply cannot withstand the continuous infusion of such a huge amount of energy and will definitely burst. At that time, all our preparations will be wasted. Moreover, such a huge movement here will definitely immediately alert the masters of the Sky Demon Phoenix Clan. At that time, our situation will be dangerous."

The last few words were particularly heavy, and it was obvious that the author was well aware of the huge risks involved.

After hearing the hurried and solemn words of the Ancestral Stone Spirit, Xiao Ling's heart trembled and he immediately nodded solemnly.

He knew very well that the situation was critical and any delay could lead to irreversible consequences, so he could not afford to hesitate.

Immediately, Xiao Ling used his right thumb to apply slight force and stroke the tip of his index finger.

A drop of bright and fresh blood instantly overflowed. Under Xiao Ling's precise mental control, the blood bead was attracted by a magnet and fell steadily and accurately on the shining space jade slip in the center of the formation.

It was at the moment when this drop of blood touched the jade slip that Xiao Ling understood.

He remembered that when Yao Chen set the conditions for activating this space jade slip, he had already left a backup plan. Only something with Xiao Ling's strong aura could awaken the dormant will within it.

At this moment, he was too lazy to look for any other special items. A drop of his own blood, the most original and richest existence, was undoubtedly the best guide.

This seemingly ordinary blood, at this moment, carries the heavy responsibility of reversing the situation and escaping from danger.

Under the close attention of Xiao Ling and the spirit of the ancestral stone, when the drop of blood containing his original breath fell accurately on the space jade slip, a miracle happened.

The jade slip suddenly shook without any warning, and instantly burst out with an extremely dazzling white light!

The light was so blazing and pure that it almost completely illuminated the originally dark and depressing space around it. Even the air seemed to be distorted by the burning.

Even Xiao Ling, who was accustomed to big scenes, couldn't help but narrow his eyes slightly, but his gaze was still fixed on the core of the white light, meticulously observing the changes taking place in it.

At this moment, as the most dazzling white light at the beginning slowly dissipated, tremendous energy began to gather and rotate rapidly inside the jade slip.

The energy flow was like a tangible silk thread, outlining and weaving. Gradually, a figure emerged behind the white light and appeared in Xiao Ling's sight.

This figure was obviously formed by pure energy, so it looked a little illusory and unreal.

However, that outline, that temperament, and especially that slightly lazy smile that seemed to reveal a certain wisdom, Xiao Ling recognized him immediately. This was clearly Yao Chen!

Thinking of this, Xiao Ling felt relieved. After all, what was preserved in this space jade slip was originally a trace of Yao Chen's will.

Now that his will has taken shape, it naturally appears in the form of Yao Chen. This is reasonable and there is nothing strange about it.

The next moment when Yao Chen's figure was completely condensed and its outline became clear and stable, Xiao Ling clearly saw that the figure made of energy slowly turned around.

His gaze accurately penetrated the space and fell on the location where Xiao Ling and the spirit of the ancestral stone were. He nodded slightly at the two of them as a greeting.

Then, a chuckle with a hint of familiarity and a hint of solemnity sounded in Xiao Ling's heart, as if it had directly entered the depths of his consciousness:

"Xiao Ling, I didn't expect that you could actually activate the will I stored in this jade slip. It seems that you are in some trouble now and need my help. Tell me, what do you want me to do for you next?"

Xiao Ling knew clearly in his heart that the one before him was not Yao Chen's real self, but merely a trace of his will left in the jade slip.

But even so, contained in this will is still Yao Chen's own consciousness and soul imprint.

Therefore, in Xiao Ling's mind, there was no barrier at all in communicating with this will, and his attitude was as respectful as always.

However, the situation was critical at the moment and he couldn't afford to feel too much.

Xiao Ling did not delay at all and directly explained to Yao Chen's will their current situation, including sneaking into the Phoenix Mausoleum, fighting with the corpse of the Heavenly Demon Phoenix, how to obtain the magic core and the Phoenix corpse, and currently trying to use the space jade slip to leave this place, but facing the danger of energy out of control.

As he spoke, Xiao Ling's eyes involuntarily glanced at the center of the altar. There, the statue of the Heavenly Demon Phoenix was now in ruins.

The wings that had once spread out like wings had now shattered into countless pieces, scattered on the ground. The only remaining massive body was also tottering, as if it would completely disintegrate and collapse at any moment, groaning under the weight.

It is not difficult to imagine that in a short while, when this statue of the Sky Demon Phoenix collapses completely, the huge movement and pervasive fluctuations will inevitably alarm the strong within the Sky Demon Phoenix clan.

They will definitely rush here immediately to find out what's going on.

Xiao Ling also knew very well at this moment that all that was left for him was the brief moment before the statue went from being on the verge of falling to completely collapsing.

He must seize this fleeting opportunity and leave this place immediately before the strong men of the Sky Demon Phoenix Clan notice or arrive, in order to ensure his own absolute safety.

After listening to Xiao Ling's detailed explanation, Yao Chen's shadow made of energy nodded slowly, with a look of realization on his face.

Then, he gently brushed his chin with his phantom finger and said, "I see. Now I understand. According to what you said, the current priority is indeed that I need to take action."

He changed the subject, his eyes becoming sharper: "So, what I have to do next is to completely destroy the barrier of the space around you, forcibly open up a passage to connect to the safe space outside. In this way, you can safely leave the sphere of influence of the Sky Demon Phoenix Clan, am I right?"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Ling nodded solemnly, approving Yao Chen's analysis and plan. He then added:

"It is indeed as you said, Yao Lao. With my current cultivation, I am afraid that I am not enough to forcibly break the barrier of the Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan's guarding space, so I must rely on your help."

He paused, turned his gaze to the Ancestral Stone Spirit that was floating nearby and exuding an ancient aura, then turned back to Yao Chen's shadow and continued:

"However, the spirit of the ancestral stone has already laid a formation around us. This formation can not only conceal the movements here to a certain extent, but also amplify your attacks to a certain extent. In addition, I will fully assist you, so it is not impossible to break the space barrier of the Sky Demon Phoenix Clan and leave here safely."

Yao Chen was naturally well aware of the current state and capabilities of his will. He glanced around and carefully looked at the formation set up by the spirit of the ancestral stone. A hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, and then he raised his eyebrows, nodded slightly, and said:

"Indeed. I can feel that the texture and operation of this formation are very exquisite, far beyond my expectations. When it is activated later, with its amplification, the power I can exert will probably be more powerful than the plan I reserved at the beginning. The layout of this formation is quite mysterious and not simple."

After a brief sigh, Yao Chen put away his thoughts, obviously not planning to delay any longer here.
