The vast sky was filled with an ancient aura. The white clouds seemed to have been infected by that ancient aura, turning heavy as they froze in the sky. It was like a scene from a painting, giving off a profound and cryptic feeling.
Whoosh!
Two streaks of light suddenly streaked across the sky, tearing two marks on the thick white clouds. In the blink of an eye, the two streaks of light had already disappeared into the horizon. Their speed had attracted the attention of some of the intruders that were scattered in the Dragon-Phoenix Haven in search of various treasures.
However, everyone could sense the powerful Spiritual Energy fluctuations being emitted from the two streaks of light, which attracted quite a bit of attention. However, no one dared to obstruct them.
The two streaks of light were naturally Mu Chen and Cai Xiao, who had swiftly left after obtaining a Dragon-Phoenix Pool.
However, their current target wasn't the other four Dragon-Phoenix Pools, but the so-called Super Dragon-Phoenix Pool that Cai Xiao had detected. Although according to Cai Xiao, that Super Dragon-Phoenix Pool was extremely dangerous, Mu Chen still chose to go with her in the end.
"How far away are we?"
As the streaks of light streaked across, Mu Chen approached Cai Xiao as he wrapped his voice in Spiritual Energy and transmitted it over to the latter. They had practically been flying for half a day, so this distance was definitely considered far.
"Two hours." Cai Xiao replied.
Hearing her words, Mu Chen inwardly smacked his lips. He could sense that they were gradually entering an extremely desolate region of the Dragon-Phoenix Haven. It was an ancient forest that no one had ever stepped into before. Furthermore, there were auras of beasts in those places.
Furthermore, the auras of exotic beasts were also growing more and more ferocious.
All of a sudden, Cai Xiao stretched her hand out and held onto Mu Chen's wrist.
A cold and delicate sensation was emitted as a faint rainbow light was emitted, forming into a barrier that enveloped the two of them.
"I'm afraid that we will encounter quite a few exotic beasts with powerful senses. Although you can retract your Spiritual Energy, I'm afraid that you will still be discovered. So I'll bring you along." Cai Xiao cast a glance at Mu Chen.
Cai Xiao said.
Mu Chen nodded his head. In this sort of place, it was best for them to avoid as much as possible.
Otherwise, if they were entangled by countless exotic beasts, even if they could make it out, their plans would definitely be affected.
Whoosh!
As the rainbow light enveloped the two of them, their speed abruptly increased.
It was like a ray of light.
Sweeping across the horizon.
Over the next two hours, Mu Chen had finally witnessed the dangers of the Dragon-Phoenix Haven. The endless ancient forest was filled with beasts, some of which were as huge as mountains with torrential ominous auras.
Furthermore, along the way, Mu Chen could sense many scanning fluctuations sweeping across the horizon. It was so much so that even their bodies were being swept back and forth.
That was the detection of some exotic beasts with astonishing senses. That kind of detection was extremely cryptic.
If it weren't for Cai Xiao, it would have been very difficult for Mu Chen to dodge the attack with his own spiritual power shielding.
This ancient region was obviously not a friendly place.
Although there were many exotic beasts along the way, it was more daunting than dangerous. After four hours, Cai Xiao's speed gradually slowed down. They could be considered to have entered the core region of this remote region.
After entering the core region, Mu Chen's face had clearly turned a lot more solemn. That's because he could sense an ancient pressure rippling in this region.
That pressure had caused the airflow in this region to slow down. It was so much so that even Spiritual Energy had become heavy. This region was different from other regions. The forests and mountains were extremely short due to the ancient pressure that enveloped this region.
"Looks like we've found the right place."
Cai Xiao chuckled as she looked at this region. To be able to leave such a pure and ancient pressure in this region, it looked like there was indeed a super Dragon-Phoenix Pool here.
"But there doesn't seem to be any exotic beasts here …" Mu Chen tightly knitted his brows. Only now did he realise that this region was strangely quiet. Furthermore, he couldn't sense any Spiritual Energy fluctuations from exotic beasts. This region was akin to a dead land.
"That's because there aren't any exotic beasts that dare to barge in here."
Cai Xiao nodded her head as she pointed towards the depths with her slender finger. "Let's go, that super Dragon-Phoenix Pool should be in the depths. Be careful, this place shouldn't be simple."
Mu Chen nodded his head as the two of them flew out once again. However, their bodies were tensed up with Spiritual Energy surging around them. Clearly, they were prepared to deal with any sudden situations.
However, what made the two of them a little surprised was that when they reached the depths, they still didn't encounter any obstructions. Thereafter, they leapt over a lone peak before them and the sight before them suddenly widened. Thereafter, the two of them abruptly narrowed their eyes.
Before them was a cracked land with a bottomless crater that was roughly a few myriad feet in size. The pitch-black colour made it seem as if the bottom couldn't be seen. Looking at it, it looked like a black hole that a demon resided in, causing others to feel their scalps going numb.
Naturally, what made Mu Chen and Cai Xiao feel the most shocked wasn't the pitch-black crater, but the two colossal objects that hovered above the crater.
The two colossal objects were ghastly white, but there were traces of dark-golden lustre mixed within the white. Vaguely, there was a ferocious aura being emitted from them.
Those were two colossal dragon and phoenix heads!
The two colossal dragon and phoenix heads were even larger than mountains. At this moment, they were frantically biting each other. Even if they had been reduced to bones and weathered for tens of thousands of years, the scene could still be felt.
Hiss.
Mu Chen deeply inhaled a mouthful of chilled air as he looked at this scene with shock in his eyes and muttered, "It's truly the heads of the True Dragon and Phoenix …"
Compared to the white bone mountain that he had previously seen, which was formed from the bones of the True Dragon and Phoenix, it was akin to the difference between a firefly and the moon.
Although there was still some distance between them and the heads of the dragon and phoenix, the domineering aura still swept out like a storm, causing Mu Chen's breathing to be a little sluggish.
Cai Xiao stared at the heads of the dragon and phoenix as her figure moved and flew over. When Mu Chen saw her actions, he immediately followed up.
The two of them swiftly approached the heads of the dragon and phoenix that hovered above the pitch-black crater. As they got closer, they could clearly feel the visual shock.
The brutal aura of the dragon and phoenix tearing at each other blew over. One could imagine how earth-shattering the battle between the True Dragon and Phoenix was in ancient times.
Those were two terrifying existences that were comparable to Heavenly Sovereigns.
"Where's the Dragon-Phoenix Pool?" Mu Chen swept his gaze around, searching for their target.
Cai Xiao extended her slender finger and pointed towards the spot where the dragon and phoenix mouths were biting. A bone pool was faintly discernible at the point of contact. However, the bone pool was not empty. Instead, it was filled with golden pool water. As the pool water churned, there were dragon and phoenix light tattoos rising from it. Vaguely, clear and bright dragon roars and phoenix cries were being emitted.
A dense fragrance slowly spread out. Smelling that fragrance, even the blood in Mu Chen's body was agitated. It was so much so that a golden light blossomed on the surface of his body. The Ersatz Dragon Physique that he had cultivated was uncontrollably circulated at this moment.
Mu Chen deeply breathed out as he forcefully suppressed the agitation in his body. He never thought that this Dragon-Phoenix Pool would be so attractive to the Ersatz Dragon Physique that he had cultivated.
Compared to this Dragon-Phoenix Pool, the Dragon-Phoenix Pool that he had previously obtained was simply not worth mentioning.
"This Dragon-Phoenix Pool isn't the best thing here."
Cai Xiao suddenly said as she directed her gaze towards the back of the Dragon-Phoenix Pool. Judging from the position, it was where the dragon and phoenix's fangs intersected as they tore at each other.
Mu Chen directed his gaze over and his expression froze. There was a golden light surging there as a golden sapling grew out from the bones of the True Dragon and Phoenix. Although the golden sapling was small, it was extremely sturdy like a dragon.
On the golden sapling, there were three lumps of golden light. Through the golden light, there were three golden fruits. The golden fruits were extremely miraculous, showing the posture of a dragon and phoenix intertwining as they intertwined, forming into an extremely miraculous Dragon-Phoenix Fruit.
Of the three Dragon-Phoenix Fruits, two of them were in a mature state, while the third one seemed to have been born not long ago. Thus, it looked extremely unripe, and the miraculous ripples were far inferior to the previous two.
But even so, the three Dragon-Phoenix Fruits could be considered as peerless treasures!
Mu Chen's gaze was blazing as he looked at the three Dragon-Phoenix Fruits. He could sense that the three Dragon-Phoenix Fruits were probably the best treasures here, since they contained the essence of the True Dragon and Phoenix's heads.
Compared to them, even the super Dragon-Phoenix Pool was inferior.
"That's the Dragon-Phoenix Divine Fruit, a miraculous treasure that was born from the perfect fusion of the Blood Essences of the True Dragon and Phoenix."
Cai Xiao lightly smiled. Looking at such a treasure, even with her composure, her eyes were rippling with joy.
Mu Chen licked his lips. Just when he was about to step forth, his eyes suddenly narrowed as he directed his gaze at the Dragon-Phoenix Pool. The golden water in the pool started to ripple as a water pillar soared into the sky. Shortly after, the water pillar was torn apart as a golden figure burst out, tearing space apart as a palm shot towards Mu Chen.
Under that palm, there seemed to be the roar of a dragon that could suppress the heavens and earth.
A terrifying pressure enveloped over like a mountain, causing Mu Chen's face to uncontrollably change. But before he could make a move, Cai Xiao took a step forth as a gorgeous colourful Spiritual Energy burst out. Her slender hand swiftly shot out like a bolt of lightning and clashed with the golden palm.
Boom!
The two palms that were vastly different in size clashed together, causing space to distort in an instant as visible fluctuations violently wreaked havoc.
As the shock wave wreaked havoc, Cai Xiao's figure lightly trembled as she took ten-odd steps back.
Seeing this scene, Mu Chen's eyes abruptly trembled. This was the first time that he had seen Cai Xiao in a disadvantageous position. Looks like this time, they had truly encountered a ruthless figure.
