The supreme Ancestral Dragon's domineering and peerless voice echoed from the Ancestral Dragon Seal.
A monstrous ferocity permeated the air.
Instantly, all living beings in the True Phoenix Realm could only tremble under the supreme Ancestral Dragon's world-shattering divine might.
"Your Majesty, whatever you wish to do, just do it. Let's see if the True Phoenix Realm dares to utter a single word of refusal."
The entire True Phoenix Realm fell into a deathly silence.
Countless powerful beings felt extreme humiliation.
Even the Phoenix Emperor could only suppress his rage.
"Open the Luofeng Cave. I want to take my wife inside to undergo the seventh tribulation of the Nine Deaths Spirit Phoenix Body," Ling Fan said.
The Phoenix Emperor flatly refused, "You dream! The Luofeng Cave is the supreme ancestral land of our True Phoenix Realm, the birthplace of the Phoenix Ancestor. The Luofeng Cave is related to the secret of our True Phoenix clan's powerful bloodline enhancement and strengthening. How can it be desecrated by you two!"
"Old Dragon, did you hear that?" Ling Fan asked.
"I'm not deaf. If the True Phoenix Realm is ungrateful, then I can't afford to consider my past friendship with the Phoenix Ancestor. I will begin a massacre," the supreme Ancestral Dragon's majestic voice boomed. A nine-fingered, golden-yellow dragon claw, filled with primordial and ancient aura, grabbed from behind the void with a rumbling sound.
"Wait!"
The Phoenix Emperor's body trembled, his eyes blazing with anger. Gritting his teeth, he said, "Today, I can let you two enter the Luofeng Cave, but listen carefully, supreme Ancestral Dragon. You bully my True Phoenix Realm today, assuming we have no supreme experts. When I become a supreme expert in the future, I will repay you in kind, eye for an eye! I will deal with your Heavenly Dragon Realm in the same manner!"
"Speak such harsh words when you reach the realm of the Phoenix Ancestor, little one," the supreme Ancestral Dragon chuckled disdainfully.
Rumble!
An ancient cave entrance in the depths of the True Phoenix Realm opened, and rolling chaotic energy surged out, emanating a profound and unfathomable forbidden aura, as if the entrance led to an unknowable supreme world.
Ling Fan and Xue Yi exchanged a glance. Ignoring the Phoenix Emperor's murderous gaze, Ling Fan put away the supreme Ancestral Dragon Seal, and the two of them flew side-by-side towards the mysterious cave entrance.
As their figures completely disappeared into the cave entrance where chaotic energy surged.
The anger in the Phoenix Emperor's eyes vanished, replaced by a cold glint.
The supreme Ancestral Dragon, with his immense wisdom, immediately sensed a trace of conspiracy. "You little one of the True Phoenix clan, you deliberately let Emperor Qingyun and his wife enter!"
The Phoenix Emperor merely sneered and remained silent.
The more the supreme Ancestral Dragon thought about it, the more it felt wrong. A massive dragon claw extended through the endless expanse of time and space, forcefully entering the True Phoenix Realm and reaching for the ancient Luofeng Cave, as if wanting to rescue Ling Fan and his wife.
But at this moment.
A supreme Heavenly Saber tore through heaven and earth, its gleaming blade illuminating all realms and the edges of the universe, colliding with the supreme Ancestral Dragon's pure golden dragon claw.
"Dao Yi! This is your scheme!" the supreme Ancestral Dragon exclaimed in shock and anger.
Dao Yi Great Heavenly Venerate's cold and emotionless voice, like the sound of the Heavenly Dao, echoed from another timeline, "Supreme Ancestral Dragon, if you remain uninvolved now, you can still spare your Heavenly Dragon Realm from a catastrophic disaster. Otherwise, your Heavenly Dragon Realm will be the next Heavenly Realm to be destroyed!"
"Dao Yi, what nonsense are you spouting? I am advising you to retire and enjoy your old age, but will you?" the supreme Ancestral Dragon sneered.
"Are you determined to go down this path? I don't understand, why are you so steadfastly standing by Emperor Qingyun's side."
"Because only in him do I see the hope of becoming a god. Countless supreme Ancestral Dragons have fallen. I don't want to be the next supreme Ancestral Dragon to fall into obscurity."
"This is why you bet on him, just because he refined your supreme Ancestral Dragon Seal? Utterly laughable! I, Dao Yi, am the one with true hope of becoming a god! Emperor Qingyun is merely a defeated foe of mine. If I could kill him once, I can kill him a second time, making him completely turn to ashes, leaving no chance for rebirth!"
"You still have the audacity to speak of those despicable and underhanded methods you use. Even I, an old dragon, am ashamed for you," the old dragon said disdainfully.
"..."
Dao Yi Great Heavenly Venerate fell silent, but the wildly turbulent myriad realms at this moment revealed his attitude, as if the entire myriad realms were about to be destroyed.
After a while.
This terrifying scene gradually subsided.
With Dao Yi Great Heavenly Venerate obstructing him.
The supreme Ancestral Dragon knew he could no longer interfere with what was happening in the Luofeng Cave and had to slowly withdraw his power.
"Emperor Qingyun, old dragon, I can only help you this much. For the rest, you'll have to rely on yourself..."
...
On the other side.
Ling Fan and Xue Yi felt their vision spin as if, in a very short moment, they had traversed infinite space, leaving the True Phoenix Realm far behind and arriving at an unknown, mysterious, and ancient land.
The ground beneath their feet was filled with the aura of ancient times.
Thick chaotic energy permeated the surroundings, severely affecting their vision and perception.
Even Ling Fan's Heavenly Demon Eyes could not penetrate very far.
What surprised them most was.
Their powers were severely suppressed in this place and were continuously draining.
"Where is this place!" Xue Yi asked.
Ling Fan did not answer immediately. His heart began to pound.
"This is... the Nether Ancient Void God Realm!" Ling Fan's mind flashed with this astonishing guess.
But then, he overturned this incredibly bold speculation. "No, this is not the true Nether Ancient Void God Realm, but rather an ancient place connected to the Nether Ancient Void God Realm. This pervasive chaotic mist is Void God Qi!"
Xue Yi said, "I have cultivated in your Samsara Divine Cauldron. The Void God Qi you transferred was clearly a divine object with immense benefits, but the Void God Qi here is stripping our strength!"
Ling Fan explained, "This is normal. The Void God Qi we absorb has been purified and refined by the Samsara Divine Cauldron. But if it is original Void God Qi, it is a fatal poison to beings below the Great Heavenly Venerate level. Only supreme experts at the Great Heavenly Venerate level can absorb Void God Qi without limit for cultivation."
Xue Yi exclaimed, "Could it be that the Phoenix Ancestor was born in the Nether Ancient Void God Realm?"
"Even if not, there is a strong connection." Ling Fan's expression was solemn. "The True Phoenix Realm possesses a supreme Dao artifact called the Phoenix Emperor's Divine Robe, which is on par with the supreme Ancestral Dragon Seal, the Demon God's Wings of the Heavenly Demon Realm, and the Three Lives Pure World Pagoda of the Heavenly Buddha Realm. However, ever since the Phoenix Ancestor perished at my hands, this Phoenix Emperor's Divine Robe has vanished without a trace. What I fear most is not the Phoenix Emperor with his Nine Heavens Heavenly Venerate cultivation, but this Phoenix Emperor's Divine Robe. Xue Yi, you must be careful. This Phoenix Emperor's Divine Robe is likely repairing itself within the ancient Luofeng Cave."
"Mm." Xue Yi rarely saw such a solemn expression on Ling Fan's face, and she immediately agreed.
As they were speaking.
Suddenly, a piercing cry echoed around them.
It was as if something incredibly terrifying was rapidly approaching them.
Whoosh!
A semi-ethereal, dark green bone hand tore through layers of chaotic mist, grabbing at Ling Fan and Xue Yi at the waist.
"This is an ancient soul from the Nether Ancient Void God Realm!" Upon seeing the dark green, semi-ethereal bone hand, Ling Fan blurted out.
