Chapter 823
Deep Within the Phoenix Nest
Those figures immediately shocked the many powerful figures present.
Before the Battle of the Myriad Gods Cave, they might not have recognized these powerful figures, but now they could see them at a glance.
Golden Crow Heavenly Emperor!
Heavenly Court and Heavenly Empress!
Master Bashe Dao!
These are all demon lords!
In an instant, they realized that this was probably the place where the Demon Lord had held his banquet.
The power of the Demon Lord is immense.
Even if it's just a banquet, it can leave a projection imprint in this space that can withstand countless years!
At the same time, just as they were in shock, the White Tiger Demon Lord suddenly leaped up and jumped directly onto the spot where his ancestor had been.
In an instant, the phantom of the White Tiger Demon Lord transformed into streams of light, seemingly merging into his body.
Upon witnessing this scene, the many powerful demons present were shocked, and a surge of intense joy erupted from them.
They might be able to absorb or refine the power within these phantoms to comprehend the realm of the Demon Lord!
Although the power of the demon lord in this phantom is far less than one ten-thousandth of that of the demon lord, its profound depths, if comprehended, can still save them hundreds of years of arduous cultivation.
The difference between a Demon Lord and a Demon Venerable is only one realm.
But the depth of understanding of the Great Dao is completely different.
The enlightenment brought about by the residual consciousness of the Demon Lord is enough to enable some Demon Venerables to build a solid foundation and help them become the strongest among the Venerables.
"There is no peacock clan..."
Kong Xuan's gaze kept shifting, but he didn't find his own ancestor. However, he did find another powerful figure who had become a Dao Lord from the Five Virtues Phoenix.
He laughed heartily and immediately walked towards that figure, seemingly wanting to merge with the illusory image and comprehend the power of the Five Virtues.
boom!
Just then, another demon lord from the Phoenix Clan blocked his way, raising his hand and slapping out red wings to prevent Kong Xuan from overlapping with that figure.
"You dare stop me!?"
Kong Xuan was furious.
At the same time, many powerful figures present began to vie for the positions of those illusory figures.
However, besides the White Tiger Demon Lord, there is a Crimson Dragon in the Northern Territory that merges with the phantom of the Golden Crow Heavenly Emperor to comprehend power and cultivation.
"In other words, as long as one finds the phantom of a demon lord related to one's cultivation power, one can directly enhance one's cultivation realm!?"
Numerous powerful individuals fiercely competed for the prize, making the competition extremely intense.
After all, this is a good opportunity to gain the favor of the demon master.
Just as the many powerful figures were vying for power, from the depths of the cave, beams of light erupted once more, surging in like a tidal wave.
"Could it be that even more treasures are about to appear!?"
Everyone was both shocked and overjoyed.
Just then, they suddenly noticed a figure appearing there!
The figure was covered in golden light; it was none other than Golden Horn!
"His target is probably the phantom of that Bashe Demon Lord!"
Everyone immediately thought of Golden Horn as the path to cultivating power.
In particular, Golden Horn had already received the inheritance of the Bashe Demon Lord in the Cave of Ten Thousand Gods. If he could obtain some power from the phantom now, he might be able to advance even further.
It's even possible that they surpass Jiang Shu of the human race.
As expected, the next moment, Golden Horn raised its dragon claw and stretched it towards the distant phantom of the Bashe Demon Lord.
Upon witnessing this scene, the numerous powerful figures who were currently vying for the illusory image of the Bashe Demon Lord were greatly alarmed.
"Such an opportunity, we must seize it!"
One of the powerful bull demons gritted its teeth, charged wildly with all four hooves, and rushed directly towards the illusory image of the Bashe, seemingly wanting to merge with itself.
He also knew that he could never win against Jinjiao.
But if he can comprehend even a single scale armor before Golden Horn fully comprehends the power of the phantom, that will be enough.
However, even though he had fully manifested the power of the laws on his body, not far away, the Golden Horned Dragon Claw suddenly changed his mind and casually struck out with a palm.
boom!
In an instant, a vast aura suddenly exploded, and those powerful individuals who dared to compete for the phantom of the Bashe Demon Lord were torn apart, bleeding profusely, and sent flying backward into the distance.
The powerful bull demon clan's venerable one was even injured, nearly killed by being struck in the waist.
Everyone was immediately taken aback.
"With a casual strike, he could defeat an early-stage Venerable. Just how advanced has this person's cultivation reached?"
They clearly sensed that Golden Horn was still in the mid-stage of the Venerable Realm.
However, are the mid-stage Venerables of Golden Horn and their mid-stage Venerables the same realm?
Even the most arrogant Kong Xuan wouldn't think that way.
Unlike others who directly merged into the phantom, Golden Horn simply extended his dragon claw, forcefully grasping the phantom of the Bashe Demon Lord in his palm and absorbing it into his body.
After obtaining the item, Golden Horn turned and left, seemingly not taking it seriously.
On the other side, the earth was engulfed in flames, and a pill-refining furnace emitted a rich fragrance of pills, from which countless divine lights surged forth!
This is a precious medicine!
The halo was incredibly bright, emanating a rich, fragrant aroma!
Many powerful figures were shocked. They thought that this item could not possibly have been left over from ancient times, otherwise it would have been ruined long ago!
Everyone's hearts tightened, and as they approached, the alchemy furnace suddenly erupted with divine fire, surging towards them.
Many powerful demons were burned to a crisp, but they survived only because of their strength.
Many powerful demons crossed the sea of fire and then saw the area shrouded in mist, with precious light soaring into the sky, a dazzling spectacle, where many powerful figures were vying for power.
The item they were fighting over at that moment was a lingzhi mushroom that looked remarkably like a phoenix.
The part of the Ganoderma lucidum that emerged from the soil resembled a phoenix with its wings outstretched, poised to take flight at any moment.
On the Ganoderma lucidum, there was a trace of extremely rich blood, which made it exude a vast vitality!
Seeing this, everyone went crazy!
"This kind of Ganoderma lucidum was originally just an ordinary spiritual object, but it contains a vitality that even venerable beings like us are astonished by, so it is definitely extraordinary!"
"Perhaps, perhaps, the precious blood of a demon lord once fell into this place, nourishing the growth of this precious herb!"
The Phoenix Lingzhi contained a life force that shocked many demon lords, who feared that consuming it might greatly increase their cultivation.
Four or five Venerable Ones appeared and fought here for the Phoenix Spirit Mushroom.
At that moment, Jinjiao also appeared here.
However, he did not take the treasures here. Instead, he watched the battle between the many Venerables, as if he were comprehending the Great Dao of others.
"That's interesting..."
Golden Horn's eyes narrowed slightly, and the crimson-gold dragon head vaguely saw something unusual.
"I once heard a senior member of the Dragon Clan say that the Five Virtues Phoenix is most adept at manipulating fortune and karma. You can't easily form a karmic connection with them, otherwise you won't even know how you'll be tormented to death."
Jinjiao nodded to himself.
Therefore, at this time, apart from the phantom of the Bashe Demon Lord, he did not take any treasures.
After all, that phantom image, in a sense, did not belong to the Phoenix Clan, but was left behind by the original Bashe Demon Lord.
Having grasped this point, Golden Horn appeared remarkably relaxed and at ease compared to the others. Meanwhile, numerous powerful figures were fiercely vying for control.
Phoenix Nest is still an independent world, different from the outside world. It is incredibly vast, filled with precious energy. Many powerful beings travel through one space after another in Phoenix Nest, constantly searching for various treasures.
Many of the strong individuals did indeed reap considerable rewards here.
If the harvest from here were taken to the outside world, it would probably cause a huge uproar.
Beyond a lake as vast as the ocean, the Golden Horn journey ends here.
He saw a stone tablet standing on the bank of the cold pool, its chill penetrating to the bone, even forcing some demon lords to use their power to protect themselves.
The stone tablet bore three words: "Quenching Pool!"
What needs to be quenched?
It's a treasure that was just created!
"There really is a treasure deep in that icy pool!"
Immediately, a powerful member of the demon race exclaimed in surprise.
Now, several divine lights are flashing in the cold pool, like fish constantly dancing. Upon closer inspection, they seem to be the embryos of treasures such as swords and knives.
These seem to be things left behind by some powerful beings. Because they were left in the tempering ground, most of their power has been preserved, but they have not been fully forged.
Even though they were not yet complete, these embryonic treasures were already imbued with spirit and were extremely extraordinary!
"My god, this is a sword embryo made from a single piece of Blood Dragon Gold. If we can refine it completely, we can obtain a Dao artifact that is rare even among Venerable Realm cultivators!"
Many powerful figures were immediately excited and jumped into the icy pool to try and retrieve the treasure.
This icy pool seems to contain laws, and even a demon lord must constantly circulate his own power to avoid being tainted by the cold.
Even so, those demon lords who jumped into the icy pool faced extreme difficulties, as they not only had to contend with the chill of the Great Dao, but also with other powerful demons.
Jinjiao watched from the shore, his eyes showing no sign of change.
These divine weapons were certainly useful to him, but they were not even as useful as his own body!
In a sense, if Jinjiao were to unleash a few punches with all his might, he could probably smash these so-called Dao artifacts into a pulp.
"I wonder how my original body is doing?"
Jinjiao thought to himself.
His most frequently used treasure is the Desolate Star Halberd, but the more his cultivation level increases, the less effective that treasure becomes.
After all, that treasure was originally refined by a sage specifically for use by Dao Lords.
Although it was refined again later.
But ultimately, it still couldn't compare to its own inherent strength.
But just as he was about to leave, an unexpected incident occurred.
Seeing that he could not obtain the treasure embryo, a demon lord became extremely anxious and suddenly let out a low shout.
"break!"
He directly stirred up the surrounding turbulent flow of cold air, as if disrupting everything. The cold air was so intense that several demon lords were temporarily frozen and unable to move.
All the demons were terrified!
"This is the place where the powerful Phoenix Clan used to temper the weapons they forged. Isn't that terrifying?"
For a moment, the many demons looked at the few pieces of ice floating on the cold pool and felt helpless.
Above the void, Golden Horn clicked his tongue, waved his sleeve, and divine light surged forth.
bang bang bang...
Almost instantly, the ice blocks were shattered into dust, and the Venerable One was thrown out in a sorry state, finally being dragged to the shore by a terrifying force.
"Thank you, Golden Horned Demon Lord!"
"I never expected there to be a trap here. If it weren't for the help of the Golden Horned Demon Lord, I would probably have been doomed."
Several demon lords hurriedly bowed and thanked Golden Horn.
"It's nothing, just a small favor."
Golden Horn spoke leisurely, pointing to the bottom of the icy pool: "Be careful. Treasures are good, but you have to be alive to retrieve them."
As soon as he finished speaking, many powerful demons followed his gaze and saw something swimming at the bottom of the cold pool.
"This is……"
The demon lord, who had rashly entered, was immediately shocked, realizing that he had not noticed anything lurking there.
"I know, that's the Frost Marrow Spirit, a chilling true spirit that can only be born in the most yin and cold places. I never expected to find it here!"
Many powerful figures were utterly shocked.
It is important to know that the Frost Marrow Spirit is equivalent to a mobile spiritual vein, which greatly enhances the cultivation progress of those who cultivate the Great Dao of Ice.
The Phoenix Clan actually kept it here?
Moreover, although the Frost Marrow Spirit is a treasure, it also possesses the combat power of a Venerable.
If they were to jump into the icy pool and fight the other side, they might all be affected by the Great Dao of Ice, and their combat power might not be able to be fully utilized.
"As expected, the Golden Horned Demon Lord was right."
A moment later, the powerful figures began to plot how to retrieve the item below, or how to capture the Frost Marrow Spirit.
However, this matter is no longer related to Golden Horn.
As the young lord of the Dragon Clan, he could easily access a vast amount of the Dragon Clan's resources without needing the approval of any being.
These treasures were naturally not to his liking.
He continued forward and came to an ancient temple!
This hall was enormous, with a vast starry river seemingly imprinted above it, connecting it to the outside world of the demon realm, while below it swirled with chaos and filled with countless auras.
At this moment, many demon lords appeared outside the hall, but they all stared blankly.
They have tried many methods, but they are still unable to open this palace!
It should be noted that the stone gate of this palace alone is probably over a thousand feet long, and it is carved with countless phoenix patterns, so it is obviously not an ordinary place!
"Golden Horn is here!"
Suddenly, a powerful figure among the many demons cried out in surprise.
They all turned to look, and finally saw Jinjiao striding towards them.
Jinjiao stepped forward, his gaze then falling upon the ancient hall.
"Here..."
He frowned slightly, vaguely sensing that something was attracting him.
Just as he approached, the doors of the ancient hall suddenly hummed and burst open!
"It actually opened!"
"Could it be that the treasure inside sensed the presence of the Golden Horn?"
"Indeed, only a prodigy like him from the demon race would receive such treatment."
Many powerful individuals were extremely envious.
I wish I could be one of them.
At this moment, as the gate continued to open, a figure suddenly appeared in front of the many powerful figures.
In the deepest part of this ancient hall, a lifelike phoenix appeared, its body seemingly draped in crimson flames, its gaze fixed intently on the golden horn. (End of Chapter)
