Chapter 460 The privilege of the master of the gate! The mutated royal tree!
The flight of the demigod corpse in the world of the law of the Phoenix Nest did not affect the Phoenix Nest.
The high-level secret realm, the vast spirituality converges, and has formed a special secret realm membrane, similar to the alien space.
Unless it suffers an attack far beyond the limit, or collapses from the inside, otherwise this kind of ecological kingdom has a hardness comparable to the world-class secret treasure condensed by rules.
The reason why the world-class secret treasure is used as an example is because it can be used regardless of level, especially the attack type secret treasure, which can exert a stronger power in the hands of the strong.
Sometimes when you challenge the true king, the most desperate thing is not being suppressed by a look, but not even being able to enter the kingdom...
The sky is surrounded by fire outside, but the inside is a dead silence.
Here, there are no lush sycamores, hibiscus trees, flocks of flying birds, or even reptiles. There are only countless withered trees, broken earth, and endless reddish-brown scorched earth, with countless roots extending from them, like beating nerves, densely packed.
Here, there is no starry sky, no sun or moon, only the huge sacred tree in the center shining with black and white light, dividing this ancient country and dividing the night and day.
"Has the Nirvana Festival... started again? It's been too long... I can't remember how many thousands of years it has been... Forget it... I don't want to think anymore... I'm so tired..."
A sigh came from the boundary between black and white.
With a crackling sound, bird claws emerged from the ground, and a large amount of soil was churned up, from which a red figure with an elegant figure, a human head and a bird body crawled out.
The human-like head had a mature and royal face, but it gave people a sense of old age, full of marks left by the years, and broken scars all over the body. The wings that were originally covered with feathers were now covered with dust and rotten blood stains. Only the beautiful shape could vaguely see the former beauty and nobility.
From it, there was a burning black flame, surrounded by endless death, but it was not dead, nor did it become an undead creature.
It was just like this... alive.
She sat quietly, like a lonely and barren mountain with no grass or trees.
Gulp! Gulp!
At this time, more and more figures with human heads and bird bodies crawled out from the ground, but they were much smaller in size, burning the same flames, scorching the earth.
They stared at the shining sacred tree with lifeless eyes, and the memories in their minds kept flashing, but in the repeated deaths, they had become incomplete and chaotic.
Some people even forgot... what this sacred tree was?
"We...are the Ancient Phoenix Clan...the first race created by the Phoenix Lord...born in the beating of the Unquenchable Fire..."
The leading Ancient Phoenix woman said this, then paused, a look of pain on her face, trying her best to recall, and commanded:
"...the Immortal Sky Phoenix...will...eventually...return..."
The others listened silently, the flames on their bodies beating, burning spiritual energy, like the long cry of a phoenix, playing an ancient song.
"Chief, the Immortal Sky Phoenix is dead, don't have unrealistic dreams anymore." A voice rang out, interrupting her, and immediately attracted everyone's attention.
She was a thin female from the Ancient Phoenix Clan, with immortal flames burning on her body, a beautiful feminine face, and tear grooves shaped like flame feathers under her phoenix eyes, adding a touch of feminine charm.
But at this moment, she looked particularly ferocious.
There was madness in her eyes, and she yelled, "I have had enough of this immortal curse. It has been thousands of years. If the Phoenix Lord could come back, he would have come back long ago.
But until now... what else is there except this broken and rotten corpse? Face the reality, He is just a demigod of the mortal world, not a truly great being.
Moreover, we couldn't even defend the [First Phoenix Court], and were driven into this land of reincarnation by those guys. We can only numb our consciousness by sleeping. Moreover, without the power of the [Palace of Heavenly Phoenix] to maintain our sanity, we can only wake up briefly during the Nirvana Phoenix Festival, but we have to go through the slaughter of the Ladder of Life and Death again. I really... really have had enough!"
At this point, the woman's face was already full of tears.
From the initial surprise and expectation of immortality...
to the despair today.
No matter how many times they die, or whether their lifespan reaches the end, they cannot die. They
can only continue to bear the weight of death and struggle in endless despair.
"..."
In response to her yelling, the other ancient phoenix people just looked at her numbly, without too many emotional fluctuations.
Every once in a while someone goes crazy, and they have long been accustomed to it.
After a few thousand years of madness, they will regain their composure, or...
directly deform!
It would be fine if it was really over.
But some kind of abnormality has occurred in the Phoenix Nest, and the probability of deformation is almost one in a billion, and after entering a long period of chaotic consciousness, it will regain some sanity and then continue to bear death.
Become a monster that is neither alive nor dead!
No one paid any attention, making the girl's madness seem meaningless and even more desperate.
"Actually... I understand..."
The head of the Ancient Phoenix clan spoke, slowly saying:
"Huang Yun, I understand your thoughts... but we no longer have any choice. We have suffered too many deaths... we are already entangled by death... we cannot leave the Phoenix Nest..."
Hearing this, Huang Yun lowered her head and bit her lower lip tightly, hating her identity.
She was conceived after the death of the Phoenix Lord. After she was born, she did not enjoy any of the benefits of the Ancient Phoenix Clan. Instead, she was imprisoned in this world, feeling death and silence.
As soon as she woke up, she was killed, and then lost in death.
In the Phoenix Court, she could still stay awake and study spells and secrets, but now that she has been driven out, she needs a long period of nirvana to even stay sane.
Even so, it is much better than the other creatures in the Phoenix Nest. At least it still maintains its original appearance.
They... have become the embodiment of the concept of death!
But she doesn't want this kind of eternal life!
Huang Yun was just venting her anger. She realized that her people were going crazy, so she sighed and said, "I understand. Then let's continue to fight on the ladder of life and death."
It's better to fall asleep early than to suffer!
"No, what I mean is..." The Ancient Phoenix chief shook his head, trying to force a smile but found that he had forgotten how to smile. His red eyes without highlights looked like a piece of fine ceramic that was about to break. He said softly,
"You are the individual bred on the sacred tree after the death of the Phoenix Lord. At first we all thought you were the reincarnation of the Phoenix Lord and were full of expectations. Although we later discovered that you were not, you have not died too many times in these years, and you were able to cleanse yourself in your first nirvana, and you have not been completely bound to this land of reincarnation, so..."
"This time, I felt the sign of the chaotic era. It was during that time that the lava giant broke free from its restraints. So, this time we will do our best to seize control of the [Phoenix Palace], and then transfer your death to ourselves through Nirvana."
"Really?" Huang Yun looked surprised, but soon reacted and asked worriedly, "Then what should you do?"
"We can no longer leave. Thousands and tens of thousands of deaths have a price, which cannot be offset even by Nirvana. It is enough to have you as the descendant of the Ancient Phoenix Clan, not to mention..."
The leader of the Ancient Phoenix Clan shook his head and said, "We will serve as a lighthouse... to anchor the real coordinates for the Phoenix Lord... to prevent Him from losing his way home... but you can feel the beauty of the rest of the world..."
"..." Huang Yun opened her mouth, wanting to say something but stopping herself. She wanted to refuse, but couldn't.
Because she really didn't want to stay!
"Okay... the Lava Demon Clan succeeded in the Age of Chaos... if you miss it, you don't know how long you have to wait for the next time... but you have to try to open the door to the center of the earth first... if you can, you go down to the Abyss... the will of the Abyss is the most generous. If that doesn't work, go to the Pure White World... but don't look directly at Him... and definitely don't leave outside the Underworld and the Main World... because the Phoenix Lord said that there is... what is it? I can't remember..."
The Ancient Phoenix Clan leader frowned slightly, realizing that this part of his memory had been crushed by death again and again.
"Forget it, I don't want to think about it anymore. Time is running out."
After she finished speaking, she chanted an ancient ballad:
"The echo of the Nirvana... the gift of the Phoenix Kingdom... the destined return..."
The chanting of the ancient ballad made the sky of the Phoenix Nest begin to tremble. As expected, it caused a surge in the Phoenix Nest, and an illusory arc-shaped door appeared, but it was not accessible yet.
You need to enter the Phoenix Palace to open the real door.
It's easy to get in, but hard to get out.
You can see the scorching earth and fire ecosystem outside, a scene full of vitality that is completely different from the Phoenix Nest, which makes Huang Yun look at it greedily, not wanting to miss a moment.
She asked carefully: "What is the world outside like?"
"I forgot... At that time, we were already far away from the mythical era. The earth was barren and everything was full of primitive savagery, but the Ancient Phoenix clan was at the pinnacle of life... I had just become the false king at that time... But I died before I could condense the law... Now even the ecological master is difficult to maintain, otherwise he would not be driven out...
At that time, the sky was very dark, only the stars and the moon were bright, and countless races were fighting. Tyrant...Sky Giants, Pureblood Elves, Legendary Dragons, and yes, there is also a weak race that has received the Mother River's gift and can contract with other lives. They look a bit like apes and a bit like us. They are called...Humans?"
Huang Yun listened with great interest and asked curiously, "The Mother River's gift? Are they strong?"
Although she could not leave the Sky Phoenix Nest, she could summon the power of the Mother River to ascend and feel its greatness.
It is the source of all worlds and the starting point of all things.
Even great beings may not be able to receive the Mother River's gift, which makes her quite curious.
"I only know that when I was here, they were very weak, and many of them begged for our protection, and even used us as totems. Although the life span of their ordinary members is not even a fraction of that of them, they are very interesting and... cute.
If you go out, with your monarch-level strength, you might scare them. In addition, there are all kinds of life..."
The Ancient Phoenix tribe leader pieced together his fragmented memories and described the past world. The rest of the Ancient Phoenix tribe members also gradually restored their brilliance in their eyes and listened quietly.
"That's great." Huang Yun was looking forward to it. Looking at the gradually disappearing door, she murmured, "When I go out, I will go and see these cute little guys..."
Before she finished speaking, she saw the shadow on the door gradually dimming and closing.
Boom!
The next second, a giant hand surrounded by pure white light suddenly penetrated the door, countless space fragments scattered, tearing a black hole, and the next second, more giant arms poured in and began to press on the edge of the door.
Buzz!
The void inside the Phoenix Nest trembled, and the moment it tried to resist, a pillar of heaven descended, forcibly connected and penetrated it, and then continuously pulled outward.
The narrow path was supported into a wide highway.
The next second, the true spirit of the Hundred-Armed Demon God of the Sky descended with force, surrounded by storms and light, and turned into a domain covering a hundred meters, constantly flashing with dark thunder, resisting the ecological radiation and rules of the Phoenix Nest itself.
"This is... an outsider???"
Huang Yun looked at the terrifying giant with a hundred arms in shock.
The head of the Ancient Phoenix clan also narrowed his eyes and began to search his broken memories in his mind, but he did not find a similar guy. Maybe he had forgotten.
"In this world, there is no door that I can't open!"
With a whisper, the Cangtian Demon God slowly bowed his head and stretched out an arm, with his palm facing up. On it stood Lu Yu and Chiyue Honglian, as well as their respective pets.
Lu Yu looked around with interest, but he didn't expect that there was a problem with the way the Lava Demon entered, and it got stuck halfway in.
If an ordinary person encountered this situation, they would either be burned to death by the sky fire outside, or be crushed to death by the wall of the Sky Phoenix Nest.
But Lu Yu chose the third option and opened the door directly.
After [Mantra - Door] transformed into [Legendary Spiritual Base - Door of Poverty], all its abilities were retained and even more powerful.
As the master of the door, no tangible door can stop him!
However, after entering, Lu Yu decisively closed it, otherwise he would be in trouble.
Although he can still open the door next, it is best to wait until the flames are extinguished before going out, because he will be blocked by the sky fire and waste the fruit of death.
Yes, that's right, during this period of time, Lu Yu spent all the money he earned and bought three soul materials.
When he was away from home, he recharged the resurrection coins himself!
"Who are you?"
Lu Yu heard the voice and looked at Huang Yun below who was staring at him vigilantly.
Hmm?
A human head and a bird body?
Boom!
The earth roared, and the Hundred-Armed Demon God of the Sky slapped it down, turning it into a meat paste.
"This..." Chiyue Honglian was dumbfounded. Doesn't it need to communicate?
However, for Lu Yu,
the natives of the Phoenix Nest who can speak = threat = new material.
Just when he was about to extract the material, an ancient phoenix clan killed in front of him, and the raging fire rose, turning into a red phoenix shadow flapping its wings, wrapped in endless scorching heat, and already had the strength of a pseudo-giant head.
Before this ancient phoenix had time to release its skills, it saw a shining hand of the Demon God of the Sky touching its head.
Too fast!
This was her last thought, and the next second she saw the other party snap his fingers!
Boom!
With a roar, it turned into a ball of blood mist.
Endless brilliance fell and turned into a cage, suppressing the actions of the rest of the Ancient Phoenix Clan.
The secret of the heavens - the Prison of Brilliance!
Lu Yu was just about to take a look at the specific information, but found out...
the originally dead Huang Yun, under the influence of a mysterious force, quickly reshaped her body.
It's not Nirvana, but resurrection from the dead!
She looked terrified, still lingering in the shadow of death just now, and trembled, "What are you doing?"
Lu Yu did not answer, but looked at her and the ancient phoenix who had just resurrected curiously. The latter wanted to continue to kill, but was crushed and continued to be reborn.
This happened several times, but the speed of subsequent resurrection would be slower, sanity would be lower, and the aura of death would accumulate more intensely.
However, it would be partially offset by the flame of nirvana on its body.
"Roar!"
Egg, who had shrunk in size and was flying behind him, began to drool when he saw this scene.
"I want to eat..."
Before entering the form of the reincarnation dragon, as the price of using the anomaly [Tathagata Wisdom Tree], it also accepted a random commandment - no meat for one day.
But the price of the Corpse Mountain Mask is to eat corpses, which is a direct conflict. It almost made it go crazy with hunger. Even if it was replenished later, its desire for gluttony increased sharply.
As the superior law of life and death, the legendary dragon of the reincarnation path that is closest to the supreme law, is not afraid of the pollution of death energy at all, but can use it as food.
However, at this moment, Dandan suppressed the desire to eat, indicating that he was still missing something unspeakable.
Simply eating is not satisfying enough!
Lu Yu listened to its words, squinted his eyes, and thought about it.
But soon, his thoughts were interrupted by the old voice: "You... are human."
Although it was a question, it was affirmative.
Lu Yu turned his head and looked at this powerful ancient phoenix whose aura was infinitely close to the Lord of Ecology. He should be the patriarch of these natives, and nodded in acknowledgement.
"What!?" Huang Yun was stunned, unable to connect this guy who reflected a giant with a hundred arms and could easily crush her to death with the cute and weak human being mentioned by the clan leader.
Could it be that she had died too many times and her mind was confused?
Didn't they say that they signed a contract with the monsters to gain power? Why was the original body of the man in front of her so strong?
Huang Yun suddenly felt that the world outside might not be as beautiful as she imagined...
"We all wanted to escape, but you chose to come in." The Ancient Phoenix clan leader sighed after seeing Lu Yu admit it.
"Maybe I'm born bold and adventurous." Lu Yu asked bluntly, "Can you tell me where the extraordinary organ of the Undead Sky Phoenix is located? It would be best if a high-level Phoenix Feast Ceremony could be held."
If he came at the Brilliant Moon level, he would have to be submissive and cautious.
Now... sorry, the version has been updated.
Although I still remain cautious, I will train in the novice village until I reach the maximum level before going out.
Those who have not reached the Eco-Master level have to look at his attitude!
"Chirp!" The Abyss Red Bird, who was originally paralyzed in front of the Red Moon Red Lotus, heard this and immediately stood up, excitedly jumping around on the soft clouds, eager to evolve.
"Stop it!"
The Chiyue Honglian's originally cool demeanor was instantly broken. She stretched out her hand to grab it, but she missed it several times, and her face turned red with anger.
"I can tell you, but what can I get?" The Ancient Phoenix Clan leader said softly.
Lu Yu replied, "Death."
After several experiments, Lu Yu had already begun to realize the problem of this ecological kingdom.
Immortality is also a curse.
Ordinary people can't solve it at all, but it's just a piece of cake for him.
Upon hearing this, the Ancient Phoenix Chieftain shuddered, his eyes suddenly became sharp, staring at Lu Yu, and said in a deep voice: "What do you mean?"
"Literally." Lu Yu smiled gently and looked at her quietly.
The Ancient Phoenix Chieftain narrowed his eyes, hiding his shrewdness, and began to describe the situation inside the Phoenix Nest.
In the beginning, although the Undead Phoenix fell in the Dark Ages, its soul was broken, and its corpse lived a second life, further merging with the sacred tree, and derived a special immortal kingdom.
Here, all life has abolished the concept of death.
Even if you die, you will be resurrected, but the price is that you will bear the weight of death endlessly.
Lu Yu also asked what it felt like, but the Ancient Phoenix Clan leader only showed fear, saying that he couldn't describe the horror.
It was as if he was approaching something, his thoughts and will were being distorted, and he felt an indescribable horror.
It was as if he was going deep into the ground.
The more times he died, the more serious the weight of death became, and he might even lose his mind.
As for everyone getting along in harmony and not killing, it would be fine?
This is impossible, because as the Nirvana Phoenix Dance progresses, the ladder of life and death will open, and all beasts will enter a violent state, driving them to kill.
And after the weight of death accumulates, a mysterious life called [Dead Realm Creature] will be born from the body.
They control part of the power of death, and as time goes by, they continue to strengthen, deriving various strange forms of the dead, which are extremely aggressive.
It is a complete projection of the concept of death!
At the beginning, the Ancient Phoenix Clan occupied the Phoenix Court where the Phoenix Lord condensed, and the [Palace of the Phoenix] left by the Phoenix Lord, occupying a huge advantage and being able to resist the attack of the dead life.
It is not so vicious!
However, thousands of years ago, in the process of taking root for a long time and absorbing the corpse of the immortal Phoenix, the sacred tree nurtured a certain mysterious consciousness in its body. Thousands of years ago, on the day of the Phoenix Nirvana Festival, it suppressed the two sacred objects left by the Phoenix.
This caused a large number of dead creatures to invade, killing continuously, and giving birth to dead creatures at the level of the main ecosystem, and finally drove them to this land of reincarnation.
Because there is no radiation from the Palace of Phoenix, they cannot resist the erosion of death for a long time, and can only repair themselves through sleep and nirvana.
After hearing this, Lu Yu asked about the cause of death of the Undead Phoenix, but the other party didn't know.
I only know that it collapsed without any signs, as if it had touched some kind of taboo.
But I vaguely remember that it seemed to be related to life and death.
As for the specific time point, Lu Yu calculated that it should be the time node when the Dark Ages changed to the Old Ages.
It seems to involve the path of reincarnation, but Lu Yu thought in his heart.
The dance of Nirvana, the weight of death, the influence of the reincarnation tree...
all these factors seem to correspond to an answer.
At this time, the head of the Ancient Phoenix clan said: "If you want to get the Palace of the Phoenix, then the best way is to take advantage of the Phoenix Festival when all forces are suppressed. It will be difficult to face the Ecological Lord with your strength, but as long as you abide by the agreement, we will help you cross the ladder of life and death..."
"No need!"
Lu Yu shook his head and chuckled, "Leave it to me next."
He has already thought of a way to quickly pass through the Phoenix Nest.
