Divine Phoenix Emperor was sitting cross-legged on an altar inside a dark room. There was no source of light inside this room other than ten flaming crystals placed around the altar.
His eyes were closed. His robe appeared to be composed of flames, it was burning. Strange enough, the flames seemed to not affect the Divine Phoenix Emperor.
Despite his old age, he exuded a majestic aura. His momentum was entirely different from anyone Ling Xiaolong had ever met. In fact, Divine Craftsman Feng Zhiling was more powerful than Divine Phoenix Emperor, but he emanated an aura more akin to that of an ordinary warrior with the least momentum. Perhaps it is due to his focus on crafting weapons and other treasures.
As for Divine Phoenix Emperor, having fused with the blood of a phoenix, acquired the phoenix bloodline, and refined the eyes of a phoenix, his momentum was on an entirely different level.
All of a sudden, he opened his eyes. Two lines of flame shot out of his eyes.
Divine Phoenix Emperor frowned slightly, appearing confused.
"What was that just now?"
"It seemed like someone just used the Phoenix's eyes as a medium to spy on me. Who possesses such capability? Why was I unable to sense that person?"
After a moment, he appeared to have an idea and murmured, "Could it be that the individual spied on me from outside the city gate? How did they manage that? Could it be that the person in question is an Abyssal?"
"Those Abyssals are incredibly enigmatic. They possess numerous peculiar methods. It must be them. It appears we need to enhance the city's security. The city is already in a dire state due to that mysterious ruin which is linked to the Abyssals in some way. If the Abyssals are to infiltrate the city, who knows what kind of disaster they will cause."
.....
"Zexu, you are here!"
Not long after the three of them entered the city, they encountered a group of people. These people appeared to be familiar with Wen Siblings.
"Mu Shaoyou, An Shisan, Zi Yan, Yang Guo..."
The sudden calling attracted everyone's attention. When Wen Zexu saw the coming group of people, he could not help but reveal an excited expression on his face.
Wen Xuya also seemed to be happy after seeing these people.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt"Wen Zexu, I thought you wouldn't be able to come to the Eternal Flame City this time. Now that you are already here, how about we fight again after this matter related to the ancient ruin is over?"
An Shisan looked at Wen Zexu with an excited expression and said.
"An Shisan, how about I fight with you? After last time, I'm waiting still waiting for another battle with you." Yang Guo took a step forward when he heard An Shisan's words. His intent to battle immediately soared.
"That's fine too. Anyway, the two of you can fight me together." An Shisan chuckled, confidence brimming in his eyes.
"An Shisan, how about I fight with you as well?" Mu Shaoyou smiled and looked at An Shisan.
"Forget it. I don't want to mess with you." An Shisan raised his eyes and smiled.
These people seemed to have a good relationship with each other. Ling Xiaolong could not help but smile.
"Everyone, meet Mr. Ling Xiaolong. He is not only my and my sister's savior but also a Level 1 Master of Chaos."
At this time, Wen Zexu introduced Ling Xiaolong to the group.
When these people learned that Ling Xiaolong was a Master of Chaos, they immediately became alert and looked at him respectfully. They did not dare to disrespect a Master of Chaos in any way.
"Mr. Ling!"
"Mr. Ling!"
"...."
Everyone immediately greeted Ling Xiaolong.
Ling Xiaolong only nodded in response. At the same time, he sighed helplessly in his heart.
"Mr. Mu, you have come. Why didn't you look for me when you came to the Eternal Flame City? I am going to get angry if you do this again the next time."
Just as everyone greeted Ling Xiaolong, a voice was heard. At the same time, many powerful auras instantly appeared behind them.
Upon hearing this voice, Mu Shaoyou immediately knew who it was. He smiled bitterly and said, "Mr. Luo, I just arrived yesterday. I knew you were busy, so I didn't disturb you."
"Is that so? Actually, it is nothing. Since we have already met, let's not talk about these things." As his voice faded, many figures had already landed in front of Mu Shaoyou and others. The person in front was tall and straight. He wore a long robe, and his aura was like that of a ferocious bird. His bright eyes emitted a brilliant glow, exuding an oppressive pressure.
"Everyone, meet the master of the Flame Cloud Pavilion, Luo Jianhong."For some reason, Mu Shaoyou appeared to be very cautious around Luo Jianhong. He hurriedly introduced this person to everyone.
At this moment, there were also many people with extraordinary auras behind Luo Jianhong. All of them were Peak Chaos Sovereigns. In fact, some of them were even Masters of Chaos. Of course, they were either Level 1 or Level 2 Masters of Chaos.
Mu Shaoyou's eyes swept across them. They were the majority of the people he had met before. However, when his gaze fell on someone, his expression changed.
"Spirit Rising Emperor!"
"Red Dragon Emperor!"
Mu Shaoyou looked at the two old men behind Luo Jianhong and hurriedly greeted them.
"Boom!"
Just as he greeted the two familiar Masters of Chaos, the ground suddenly trembled. After that, a powerful burst of Origin Energy exploded in the distant sky.
Everyone raised their heads, only to see several energy rings forming in the sky. These energy rings produced a loud rumbling sound and then began to crack.
"Crack!" "Crack!" "Crack!"
It was as though a monstrous energy was about to soar into the sky as the energy rings began to crack. It was accompanied by a series of sonic booms. After which, the energy rings shattered into fragments of light. These fragments carried a monstrous energy aura as they swept across the air.
Boundless energy swept out like a tornado that blotted out the sky and earth. Everyone had no choice but to circulate their energy to resist the monstrous pressure that suddenly descended. As the monstrous energy howled and dissipated, Origin Energy swept over like a dense mist all over the Eternal Flame City.
"Rumble!"
In the distant sky, a huge mountain slowly rose from the ground and towered into the clouds in an instant.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmIn a nine-story tower, the Divine Phoenix Emperor opened his eyes and turned his head, muttering, "The Ancient Ruin is about to open. The barriers that were capable of even blocking Masters of Chaos have disappeared. This Ancient Ruin is somehow related to Abyssals. I have to be prepared."
He suddenly disappeared and appeared in front of a middle-
aged man.
"Sir Divine Phoenix Emperor!"
The middle-aged man immediately bowed his head when he saw the old man.
Divine Phoenix Emperor nodded and said, "Call everyone here. Tell them that the Ancient Ruin is about to open. Place twenty Masters of Chaos above Level 15 to guard the entrance of the ruin after everyone enters. When people are about to come out of the ruin, they must stop and thoroughly check everyone."
"Also, tell them that I have something important to announce."
The middle-aged man immediately followed the Divine Phoenix Emperor's order and disappeared.
"BOOM!"
At the distance, the mountain that rose from the ground suddenly split apart. Following a loud explosion, a huge spatial hole was forcefully revealed between the two bodies of that mountain.
By now, people had also understood that the ruin had opened. Now, everyone could enter the ruin.
"That's the passageway. It's the passageway of the ruin that has opened." Many people's eyes immediately turned red upon seeing this. Some of the more impulsive experts had already moved forward. However, when they recalled the aftermath of the energy eruption earlier, they did not dare to get too close.
Mu Shaoyou's and others' eyes lit up as well.
"Everyone, let's go in quickly!"
Seeing that there wasn't any danger, many people in the city became bolder. They immediately unleashed their top speed and dashed forward.
No matter the distance, the ruin was still located in the Eternal Flame City. Thousands of people were near the ruin while the majority were elsewhere.
But when the passage appeared, everyone rushed. They started entering the ruin without caring about anything.
Seeing that someone had entered first, the remaining people could no longer hold themselves back. Immediately, the sea of people became restless. One figure after another quickly flashed. They rushed into the passageway. From the looks of it, they seemed to be afraid that the precious treasures within would be taken by someone before them.
Even the hearts of Mu Shaoyou, Wen Zexu, An Shiyan, and others were boiling at this moment. If there is a treasure, they can't let anyone take it.
