Chapter 630 Seizing the Origin!
Lingxu Inner Realm, Phoenix Divine Temple.
The protective barrier formed by stone pillars at the edge of the mountaintop was continuously struck by Minghe and Han Meiren.
“Boom…”
The entire mountaintop shook violently, making the already dilapidated Phoenix Divine Temple seem on the verge of collapse.
“This barrier is quite sturdy,” Minghe grinned, revealing a reckless smile.
With red gas emanating from his entire body, he was now at his peak state, with each strike containing terrifyingly powerful energy.
“Take it easy, Brother Ming. If you accidentally collapse the entire mountaintop, we might miss out on many treasures,” Han Meiren said coquettishly from the side.
“It’s coming,” Minghe’s eyes sharpened as he retreated a distance.
Han Meiren’s expression turned serious as she also backed away.
An extremely powerful aura was rapidly approaching their position.
The Vermilion Bird flew to the barrier, its eyes burning with raging flames, staring intently at the two figures outside.
It was indeed these two.
It should have dealt with them earlier when they were outside the cave!
“This place is not for humans to enter! I’m giving you one chance to retreat, otherwise…” the Vermilion Bird spoke with a grave tone, containing a warning.
Hearing these words, Minghe and Han Meiren outside the barrier exchanged glances, their eyes filled with excitement.
A spirit beast that could speak… this Phoenix clan creature must be of high rank!
This Phoenix clan being must be captured at all costs!
“In today’s world, are there still places humans cannot go? Don’t be so arrogant.”
Minghe coldly smiled, charging toward the barrier again, his right fist clenched, bursting with true energy, striking heavily against the barrier.
“Boom…”
The barrier, suffering this punch, flickered rapidly several times.
The mountaintop shook violently, and three stone pillars at the edge consecutively shattered!
The defensive formation was about to give way!
After all, too much time had passed, and these stone pillars serving as formation eyes were already very worn… coupled with the gradual dissipation of the Phoenix divine power…
If Minghe and Han Meiren continued their attack, the defensive formation would likely collapse!
When it rains, it pours!
Originally, finding a successor to open the Lingxu was a great thing for it. It could finally complete the instructions from the Divine Lord and await the inheritor of the Phoenix power.
After completing the inheritance, it would retire, no longer needing to spend long years in the Lingxu.
But the current situation exceeded its expectations.
There was only one successor; the other couldn’t be found!
And these two humans before it clearly had ulterior motives!
The Vermilion Bird absolutely could not let these two humans destroy or defile the inheritance of the Phoenix power!
Thinking this, the Vermilion Bird directly deactivated the defensive formation!
“Whoosh!”
The light on the stone pillars at the edge of the mountaintop immediately dissipated.
“Woooo…”
The Vermilion Bird spread its massive flaming wings and roared toward the sky.
With a flap of its wings, a hurricane-like wave of crimson fire surged toward Minghe and Han Meiren.
Minghe and Han Meiren hadn’t expected the barrier to suddenly disappear, nor had they anticipated the attack would come so quickly!
Facing this overwhelming fire and the scorching heat rushing toward them, Minghe and Han Meiren’s expressions changed.
They had known early on that this Phoenix clan being was not simple in strength.
And the coverage area of this vast wave of fire had already blocked their escape routes.
Evasion was impossible.
They could only use their own true energy to forcibly disperse these flames!
Minghe glanced at Han Meiren, roared loudly, extended both hands, and the muscles on his arms tensed fiercely!
Then, he clapped his palms together violently!
“Bang!”
With a tremendous sound, an extremely powerful surge of true energy erupted from Minghe’s body, spreading in all directions!
Most of the overwhelming fire waves were dispersed by this burst of true energy.
Some remaining flames still rushed forward.
Han Meiren’s expression tightened as she thrust her fair right palm forward.
“Whoosh!”
A gust of wind swept forward, instantly dispersing the remaining flames.
The Vermilion Bird stood in mid-air, looking at the two humans before it, with alarm bells ringing in its heart.
These two humans were clearly not weak in strength!
Due to the erosion of time, its current strength was perhaps not even three-tenths of its peak!
Dealing with these two humans would not be easy!
“As expected of a Phoenix clan being, even a casual strike has such terrifying power!” Feeling the sudden rise in temperature around them and the scorched edges of their clothes ignited by the heat, Minghe narrowed his eyes, his expression solemn.
Meanwhile, Han Meiren, besides observing the Vermilion Bird before her, also noticed a figure on the platform behind it.
That was a human figure!
And those two fireballs suspended in the air… what were they?
Han Meiren released her divine sense, wanting to see those two fireballs clearly.
But when her divine sense passed over the two fireballs, she felt a scorching sensation!
It was like being burned by flames, extremely painful!
At the same time, she also sensed a supreme divine power and vast spiritual energy!
“This, this is…” Han Meiren’s face changed dramatically, her eyes filled with disbelief.
Being able to sense divine power… coupled with this Phoenix clan being before them…
Clearly, this Lingxu belonged to the Phoenix clan.
And those two fireballs… were likely the essence of the legendary divine beast Phoenix!
“My, my god…” Han Meiren came back from her shock, so excited that her eyes reddened, and she screamed.
“What’s wrong?” Minghe looked at Han Meiren beside him.
“It’s the Phoenix essence! The divine beast Phoenix’s essence!” Han Meiren excitedly shouted, pointing at the high platform of the Phoenix Divine Temple behind the Vermilion Bird.
Minghe’s expression changed as he looked in the direction Han Meiren was pointing, immediately sensing the vast spiritual energy emanating from the two suspended fireballs, as well as that divine power!
Could it really be the Phoenix essence!?
Even if not, it must be the essence of an extremely remarkable spirit beast!
Minghe’s emotions soared like a roller coaster, instantly reaching the highest point!
They had originally come to capture a Phoenix clan being, but if they ultimately obtained the Phoenix essence…
If they could successfully devour it, how much would their lifespan and cultivation advance!?
Unimaginable!
After all, this was likely the essence of the legendary divine beast Phoenix!
Seeing the direction of these two people’s gaze and their change in expression, the Vermilion Bird’s heart skipped a beat.
Not good! They’ve noticed the Divine Lord’s essence!
“Brother Ming, I’ll go over there to seize the essence, while you deal with this Phoenix clan being here, how about that?” Han Meiren asked, her gaze sharp, no longer as coquettish as before.
“No problem!” Minghe replied.
“Boom!”
During their conversation, the Vermilion Bird opened its mouth and spewed a fire dragon formed of concentrated flames toward Minghe.
“Ah…”
Minghe roared, crossing his arms in front of him for defense, as the true energy on his body suddenly erupted.
But even so, he was still blasted dozens of meters away by this fire dragon.
Meanwhile, Han Meiren seized this opportunity to rush rapidly toward the Phoenix Divine Temple behind!
Now, her mind was filled with thoughts of the divine beast Phoenix, thinking of nothing else!
“Whoosh!”
After taking the Blood Spirit Pill, her speed reached a terrifyingly extreme level, approaching the speed of sound!
In an instant, she approached the Phoenix Divine Temple!
But the Vermilion Bird’s speed was even more swift!
It appeared above the Phoenix Divine Temple before Han Meiren, violently flapping its wings!
Han Meiren couldn’t dodge in time and was struck by the Vermilion Bird’s flaming wings, crashing heavily onto the ground below!
“Boom!”
Han Meiren’s body smashed a huge crater in the ground.
The Vermilion Bird quickly landed and used its upper limb claws to grab at Han Meiren.
Han Meiren wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth, dodged this attack by moving sideways, leaped backward, and immediately retreated dozens of meters.
Looking again at the Vermilion Bird bathed in golden flames in the sky, Han Meiren’s expression was grave.
“We can’t act separately. We must join forces to defeat it! Then we’ll seize the essence!” Minghe flew in from behind, saying solemnly.
At this point, Minghe’s upper garments had been completely burned away, revealing his strong muscles and some black markings on them.
“Yes! Let’s attack together. You engage it from the front, and I’ll look for a chance to ambush it!” Han Meiren said.
Then, the two flew off the ground, charging toward the Vermilion Bird in the sky.
“Woooo…”
The Vermilion Bird let out a prolonged cry and fiercely attacked the two charging toward it!
