Chapter 1038: Bone Of A Saint Phoenix
The h.e.l.l puppet was immensely strong with a nefarious and intimidating aura. It had enough power to break the hard wood.
“I feel like he needs a proper weapon in order to exert his full potential. Heaven Punis.h.i.+ng Hammer isn’t bad, capable of destroying a continent. Unfortunately, it is lost now. The last time anyone heard of it was ten thousand years ago and that it was in a demonic world, Timeworn. Finding it will be extremely difficult.”
“I think that half tower, Immeasurable, will be quite good. It is a saint artifact that belonged to a fairy during the Antiquity Era, completely unstoppable.” The turtle suggested.
“You want to steal from the Evil Woman? She’ll capture you first.” Feiyun shook his head.
The turtle gritted its teeth, thinking about how its crimson s.h.i.+p was taken by the vessel. Even the sacred fruit was on the run. She was not one to be trifled with.
“Boom! Boom!” The h.e.l.l puppet ran toward a spring; its footsteps caused violent quakes.
It began drinking from the muddled water with all three heads. It became radiant as its evil energy intensified. Even the air nearby was corroding.
This spring was originally the liquid of the heavenly tree. However, unknown things tainted it and even the turtle nearly died after drinking a few gulps. As for the h.e.l.l puppet, it could absorb the essences within and become increasingly stronger.
Back in the Immemorial Era, even the geniuses from the golden crow race would find it difficult to procure a single bottle. Now, the h.e.l.l puppet was feasting on it.
Feiyun and the turtle couldn’t believe it. They felt that not long from now, this puppet would make masters tremble in fear.
“Since you are made from Yama’s parts and the h.e.l.l mist, you shall be known as h.e.l.l Yama.” Feiyun said.
The creature’s three heads roared in unison while smas.h.i.+ng its chest repeatedly, expressing joy. Though it still had some of Yama’s consciousness, this was weakened and replaced by Feiyun’s seal.
It walked in front, making a path for Feiyun and the turtle.
The deeper they delved into the wood, the stronger the yin energy. The souls of weaker cultivators would be frozen at this point.
“Boom!” h.e.l.l Yama stopped and punched the air. A red barrier with feathery runes could be seen.
‘This is the Sunseer Yang Formation, a forbidden formation of the phoenix race. If it is done by eighteen adult phoenixes, it could sweep through a world.’ Feiyun was surprised.
Only a queen-level phoenix could learn and perform this barrier. This was absolutely a great secret.
“Because of its immense destruction, it can incite the wrath of the heaven. Therefore, it was removed from their scripture and added again during the Antiquity Era.’
Where the h.e.l.l is this place?
h.e.l.l Yama punched seventeen times in a row, reducing this broken barrier into fiery essences. They became extinguished due to the coldness in s.p.a.ce.
“It has been around for too long so time took care of it. Otherwise, we wouldn’t have been able to get through.” He said.
The turtle that was sitting on his shoulder suddenly leaped forward. It noticed a cauldron on top of a boulder and grabbed it.
“Trinity-flame Cauldron… an ancient weapon of the phoenix race. It changes worldly energy into the trinity flame and can ravine paragons easily into a blood pill.” It said while trembling with excitement.
The cauldron was red and towered at three meters. It exuded a fiery brilliance. It had the diagram of a phoenix embedded on the front, looking vivid and spreading its wings.
“Trinity-flame Cauldron indeed… I heard when the Immemorial Divine Phoenix created Tyrant Hatchet, ninety-nine of them were used to condense enough power to form this strongest saint artifact in the race’s history.”
“I found it first, don’t even think about it.” The turtle said.
“You can’t tame it anyway since it was refined by Her Excellency, it is not a saint artifact but far better than ordinary spirit treasure.” Feiyun said.
He tossed a ninth-ranked spirit treasure into the cauldron. It was instantly melted into metal and then evaporated.
The turtle thought that this flame was rather frightening. Alas, it didn’t give up and took out a boundary stone. Unfortunately, the moment the stone got close, it exploded since it couldn’t contain this treasure.
“f.u.c.k, we’ll see about that!” The turtle grew in size and divided to swallow the cauldron. Unfortunately, it spat it out right away.
“f.u.c.k, it’s so hot!” Blisters and blood filled its mouth as it rolled on the ground.
Feiyun couldn’t believe it. This turtle actually tried to swallow the cauldron? This was historically unprecedented.
He wasn’t a stranger to this cauldron. The phoenix race had seven right now, one belonging to each of the seven queens. They have produced numerous powerful weapons for their race.
Only seven were left while the others were either damaged or lost. After all, the Immemorial Era was too long ago. Just having seven left was already a miracle.
Therefore, he wanted the eighth. He activated a suppression technique of his race to wrap the cauldrons in eighteen formational layers. It suppressed the flames and allowed him to store it in his boundary stone.
“Feng Feiyun, that’s mine, okay? I’m letting you borrow it.” The turtle didn’t give up.
“Treasures belong to the virtuous. Since you can’t get it, it shows that it’s not meant to be.” Feiyun said.
He then noticed a radiant jade bottle surrounded by waves of flames. Alas, the moment his finger touched it, it turned into dust.
“It’s been too long, even this level of treasure is finished.” He lamented.
The turtle found a treasure plant inside a seven-colored pond. It also had leaves of seven colors, looking like a short bamboo plant.
“Wow! A rainbow bamboo, it is extremely rare. Just one drop of its liquid can bring someone back from the brink of death. Cultivators will gain ten thousand years of lifespan after earring it. Even saints look for it in order to prolong their life.” The turtle screamed and jumped into the pond.
However, there was no splas.h.i.+ng sound, only a loud bang. The pond disappeared from sight along with the bamboo plant.
The illusion turned into particles, leaving behind a dried pit.
“G.o.dd.a.m.n, how long has this place been around? Even something known as the everlasting plant is dead.” The turtle waved its hands in the air repeatedly but there was nothing to grasp.
This was only an image of the bamboo plant; proof that it was once here.
The angry turtle kept on digging downward and eventually found a two-inch root with a medicinal fragrance.
“Haha! I found the root. If we can find the legendary rainbow spring, maybe it can come back and start growing again.” It was afraid that Feiyun would take it so it hurriedly stored the root in its sh.e.l.l.
Meanwhile, Feiyun was looking around the expanse. This place was filled with treasures, albeit only their images. Most were reduced to dust upon contact.
“Oh?” He felt his forty-two bones reacting to something.
He followed his intuition and made it to a boulder as tall as a man, weighing ten tons or so.
“Boom!” He destroyed the boulder and exposed the crimson radiance within.
He found a phoenix bone the size of a fist. It flew out with a monstrous flame. It had runes on the surface - something only seen when the owner had reached a high level of the Immortal Phoenix Physique.
This bone alone contained more energy and laws than all of Feiyun’s bones.
“Don’t tell me this bone belonged to a phoenix saint…” He became emotional and felt that he was looking at a saint.
The bone shook violently, seemingly coming back to life. Its blinding radiance became as bright as the sun itself.
