Chapter 1154: Finding the Ancestral Dragon Frui (1/2)
The surroundings were just the same as ten years ago, with almost no changes.
Just as Huang Xiaolong’s group of three arrived, a demonic beast appeared in front of them in a blur. This was the demonic beast that Huang Xiaolong had subjugated in the past and ordered to guard the Ancestral Dragon Fruit, the Netherfire Sparrow.
“Master.” The Nether Fire Sparrow respectfully greeted.
Huang Xiaolong gave a soft ‘en’ then asked the Nether Fire Sparrow if anything had happened in the area in the last decade.
After confirming that no other person had wandered close to this place, Huang Xiaolong and the others moved to the center of the open space.
Huang Xiaolong and the little cow retreated to the side, letting the Black Baboon start breaking the ground at full force.
When it's giant fist punched the ground with all its might, a resounding boom rang in the air as rays of bright light lit up the sky, followed by the noise of fissures opening on the ground.
A few minutes later, a large area of the ground collapsed and sunk in. Alarmed, everyone swiftly flew into the air.
Before their eyes, the pit grew larger, reaching a hundred meters outside of the Black Baboon’s attack area. It then spread to two hundred meters, three hundred meters, four hundred meters, one thousand meters…
When the ground stopped crumbling, the pit covered the entire open space, raising a thick veil of dust.
The dust settled roughly an hour later, after which the surroundings became calm and quiet.
Huang Xiaolong and the little cow looked down where the crumbled ground revealed a buried palace. Even though the palace structure was smaller than other palaces Huang Xiaolong had seen, there was an astonishing fire element spiritual energy coming from below. In the next second, Huang Xiaolong discovered that the entire palace was built from rare fire element divine wood and stones.
This reminded him of the Immortal Phoenix God Palace within the flaming fir primeval forest in the Extraterritorial Devil Battlefield.
“Such a dense aura of the Ancestral Dragon, as expected, the Ancestral Dragon Fruit is below!” The little cow exclaimed with glee, its eyes shining brightly.
There was excitement in Huang Xiaolong’s voice as he shouted, “Come on, let's go down!” He too was very familiar with the Ancestral Dragon’s aura.
Their group descended right in front of the palace doors.
“Blood Phoenix Divine Palace.”
Right above the large palace doors were four ancient characters written in demonic beast clan language.
Huang Xiaolong and the little cow were surprised, could this Blood Phoenix Divine Palace have been left behind by the same Blood Phoenix that had long ago formed this forest? Huang Xiaolong’s eyes glimmered as this thought flashed across his mind.
Their group only stopped for a brief moment at the doors, then entered without hesitation, arriving at the front hall.
Right at the center of the front hall stood a crimson furnace inscribed with a life-like carving of a blood Phoenix. Surrounding itwere orderly placed herbs and other fire element ingredients between thirty to forty million years old.
Any of those medicinal herbs was enough to cause all Ancient God Realm masters to fight head to head for it in the outside world. But to Huang Xiaolong, these herbs could no longer play a vital role.
Walking forward, he then entered the inner hall. This was where the source of the Ancestral Dragon Fruit aura originated from.
After taking a step into the inner hall, a powerful wave of flames rushed out. Startled, Huang Xiaolong quickly circulated his godforce, creating an ice barrier in front of himself to block the dangerous flames.
A lightning barrier also enveloped the little cow, successfully avoiding the wave of flames.
At the center of the inner hall was actually a blood pool!
The blood seemed to merge with the fire, exuding an ancient divine phoenix aura. Its surface was brilliant red, resembling a ruby, flowing as if there was a current underneath.
