To become the last guardian of an ancient road, one must naturally be the most powerful!
This is also the final test for the Saint Kings who want to enter the ultimate ancient pass.
The moment Ye Wuque saw the solitary statue standing there, his gaze suddenly sharpened!
This is a magnificent and extraordinary statue!
Noble and beautiful, ready to take flight!
"A divine phoenix..."
"And it's...pureblood!"
Pure-blooded ferocious beasts are rare, let alone the renowned pure-blooded phoenix clan.
The last pure-blooded phoenix that Ye Wuque saw was the corrupted "Fallen Black Phoenix".
At this moment, at the end of this ancient road, we finally saw it.
Click!
As Ye Wuque stepped into the area of the statue battlefield, the statue immediately began to revive.
In an instant, a noble, ancient, and sharp aura emerged and filled the ten directions of the heavens and earth!
Phew!
Even more resounding was the cry that could pierce through gold and split rocks. Even a saintly king would feel his primordial spirit tremble, his scalp tingle, and his face turn pale upon hearing this phoenix cry.
Ye Wuque's gaze had already fallen upon the revived divine phoenix.
A deep crimson light shone brightly, illuminating the void!
That magnificent figure was revealed, with a pair of wings spread wide, vast and magnificent, not large, yet with the feeling of covering the sky and the sun!
It is also ten feet in size, but it is deep red all over, shimmering with iridescent light, and is extremely beautiful.
But after the Divine Phoenix revived, Ye Wuque immediately noticed the difference in its condition!
The divine phoenix before him looked different from any he had seen before. It was more slender and exuded an ancient aura, pure and refined. But what was unique was that it did not have the blazing flames of a divine phoenix, but only a deep crimson light.
What caught Ye Wuque's attention the most was the phoenix crown on its head, majestic and awe-inspiring.
This divine phoenix has been fully revived. Its wings are spread wide, covering the void. Its phoenix eyes look at Ye Wuque, and a glint of shrewdness and solemnity flashes within them!
“Every saintly king who has made it this far is extraordinary.”
"But the Human Saint King..."
"You're even more remarkable than I am."
“I feel a strong threat from you, like being pricked by needles.”
A clear and noble voice rang out, almost like a daughter's voice, yet with extraordinary heroic spirit!
"I have been guarding this place and have met many monstrous saint kings. Among them, there are quite a few who are qualified to enter the ultimate ancient pass and are even more heaven-defying."
"But never has anyone given me such a profound and unfathomable feeling as you!"
"Moreover, I can actually sense the aura of the 'Phoenix Clan' on you!"
"You have had extraordinary experiences and received the inheritance of the 'Phoenix Clan'?"
"No!"
"Not only that, there's also a faint, inexplicable causal connection about you that gives me a sense of pleasure... This causal connection... The Fallen Black Phoenix?!"
This divine phoenix seemed to be talking to itself, but what it said was enough to make Ye Wuque's eyes flash constantly!
Because they were all right, almost without any difference.
"As expected of a pure-blooded phoenix..."
"His intuition and perception are exceptional."
Ye Wuque also responded.
"I wonder, which branch of the Pureblood Phoenix Clan do you belong to? Your appearance seems to be somewhat similar to the Pureblood Phoenix Clan I knew before."
Ye Wuque sensed no malice or murderous intent from the divine phoenix before him, only an easily detectable curiosity and awe.
The divine phoenix flapped its wings, seemingly still immersed in the shock and pleasure brought by the trace of cause and effect of the "Fallen Black Phoenix" it felt from Ye Wuque.
But upon hearing Ye Wuque's question, that clear and noble young voice resounded once again.
"I am... the Heavenly Phoenix!"
"Among the pure-blooded phoenix clan, it is considered an extremely ancient branch."
"Phoenix, Phoenix, although they are not separated, there are differences; they are all purebloods!"
"However, my lineage can be traced back to the distant ancient times, and even to the more ancient and unknown eras."
Heavenly Phoenix!
The creature before them was not a divine phoenix, but a phoenix; it revealed its identity without concealment.
"Human powerhouse, have you ever killed the 'Fallen Black Phoenix'?"
Immediately, Tianhuangfeng asked Ye Wuque the same question again, her tone solemn and serious.
Ye Wuque nodded slightly.
"By a twist of fate, we encountered a life-or-death situation, so we ultimately killed him."
"Well done!!!"
As soon as Ye Wuque finished speaking, the Heavenly Phoenix let out a cry, its tone full of self-righteous pleasure!
"Traitors who willingly degenerate and stop at nothing for power are the greatest enemies of my Phoenix Clan!"
Tianhuangfeng's attitude is very clear.
It seems to reflect the entire Phoenix Clan's attitude towards the "Fallen Black Phoenix," which can be summed up in just three words...
Kill them without mercy!
Phew!
The noble and melodious phoenix cry resounded once more. The Heavenly Phoenix soared through the void, its wings flashing and shimmering with light. In a flash, it transformed into a stunningly beautiful young woman.
She was draped in a flowing, feathery robe, tall and radiant, with a flawless, graceful figure. Her fair face was as white as snow, and she was incredibly beautiful. Her long black hair was styled in a bun, and her eyes were as black as lacquer, like the bright moon in the sky.
"This is my human form."
"My name is... Feng Lingyue!"
Even Ye Wuque, upon seeing this pure-blooded phoenix girl, couldn't help but show a hint of amazement in his eyes.
It wasn't because of their facial features, but rather the special aura of the pure-blooded phoenix clan, a gift from heaven and earth, something they were born with.
"Human race, Ye Wuque."
Ye Wuque also revealed his name.
"The surname Ye..."
Feng Lingyue's beautiful eyes flickered slightly, as if she was deep in thought, but then she continued to speak.
"Fellow Daoist Ye, you have slain a Fallen Black Phoenix. In the eyes of my royal family, that is a great achievement!"
"Although I am the guardian, I have also forged the memories and emotions of my original self."
"The cause and effect are passed down, and with the special and mysterious power of this Saint King Trial, my true self will naturally understand."
"I will not fight you today."
"not to mention……"
"My intuition tells me that even if I fulfill my duty as the guardian and fight you, I will ultimately be the one to lose."
Feng Lingyue's words were direct, straightforward, and exuded a heroic spirit, giving people a slight sense of goodwill.
This gave Ye Wuque the same feeling.
Compared to that, what was that "Fallen Black Phoenix" all about?!
Their demeanor and bearing are far inferior.
"Neglecting one's duties? Is that acceptable?"
Ye Wuque sensed Feng Lingyue's goodwill and naturally asked her the same question.
"It's in the way!"
Feng Lingyue, however, nodded decisively.
But then he smiled and said!
"However, my Phoenix Clan still has some prestige, so there's no major problem!"
Feng Lingyue spoke confidently, her smile radiant, like a sword orchid, exuding the air of a gentleman and possessing extraordinary bearing.
