For Ah Da, Wei Yang still held quite a bit of regard. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have entrusted him with controlling the Nine Serene Wind Flame. When Ah Da was successfully resurrected, his soul realm had already broken through to the late Spirit Realm.

Over the years, his strength had gradually returned to its peak. With the successful devouring and refinement of the Nine Serene Wind Flame, along with the consumption of numerous Dou Zun-level soul essences, he was now not far from the peak of the late Spirit Realm.

Now, this fragment of a Dou Sheng-level Heaven Realm remnant soul might just help him take another step forward.

Wei Yang put away the jade bottle.

On the other side, Zi Yan’s figure shot downward, preparing to collect the enormous ancient dragon skeleton and take it back.

”Brother Wei, what do you plan to do with that Ancient Heavenly Phoenix’s skeleton?” Xiao Yan asked as he glanced at the other side, where the massive phoenix bones were still floating.

”It’s a Dou Sheng-level skeleton after all, so of course I can’t waste it. I’ll take it back first and decide later.” Wei Yang gave him a sidelong glance. ”Why? What’s on your mind?”

”Hehe, about those bone wings... can you give them to me?” Xiao Yan rubbed his hands together, chuckling mischievously.

”No. You’ve got some nerve, huh.” Wei Yang shot him a glare and said, ”That’s a Dou Sheng-level skeleton — and it’s from an Ancient Heavenly Phoenix! You really dare to use that to refine wings? Do you think the Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan wouldn’t lose their minds?”

Wei Yang was honestly speechless.

This brat... his courage was truly enormous.

Even dared to set his sights on the bone wings of a Dou Sheng-level Ancient Heavenly Phoenix.

He had previously used the remains of a seventh-rank Heavenly Demon Phoenix to refine wings and extract blood essence — and even that had already drawn the attention of the Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan.

But this? This was an Ancient Heavenly Phoenix — and a Dou Sheng-level one at that!

If Xiao Yan really tried to use those bones to craft wings, the Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan would probably hunt him down to the ends of the world.

”Can you please keep a lower profile?” Wei Yang said helplessly. ”The Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan is, after all, one of the three great magic beast clans. They have Dou Shengs among them — at least give them some face. Don’t act like they don’t exist.”

”Uh, hehe, I was just saying.” Xiao Yan smacked his lips awkwardly and gave a sheepish grin. He reluctantly dismissed the thought. Indeed, that idea was a bit too insane.

Wei Yang shook his head, too lazy to bother with him further. This kid had been getting cocky lately — he’d forgotten just how vast the heavens really were. With a wave of his hand, spatial power surged out, enveloping the massive skeleton of the Ancient Heavenly Phoenix.

Soon, the spatial power formed into a huge transparent sphere that surrounded and sealed the entire skeleton. The sphere’s size then began to shrink rapidly. But although its exterior was shrinking, the internal space remained unchanged.

In no time, the spatial sphere condensed into a fist-sized orb and flew back into Wei Yang’s palm. The Heavenly Phoenix’s skeleton had vanished completely. On the other side, Zi Yan had also finished storing away the Ancient Void Dragon’s remains and flew back.

Her expression looked a little gloomy. Seeing this, the others offered her a few comforting words, trying to ease the little girl’s mood. Then, Wei Yang raised his hand, and a black sun rose up, enveloping the group.

The black sun floated upward, hovering over the altar.

Boom!

The black sun erupted, releasing endless dark light.

In an instant, the entire space within the Beast Spiritual Barrier was transformed into a blazing sea of fire. Like an infernal furnace, the temperature soared to terrifying heights. Even the altar below began to melt from the intense heat.

Soon, the place was completely transformed into a lake of molten lava. All traces of what once existed there were erased. As the black sun faded away, Wei Yang and the others reappeared high above, gazing down at the crimson magma below.

Buzz~

After that chaotic upheaval, the Beast Spiritual Barrier, which had already lost the power support from the bones, was on its last legs. Now, it was shaking violently, teetering on the brink of collapse.

The surrounding space began to twist and blur, forming cracks. Like a miniature world reaching the end of its life. Finally, at a certain moment—

Bang!

With a dull explosion,

The entire Beast Spiritual Barrier shattered apart. Spatial fragments swept out in all directions. Outside, the vast expanse of the ancient forest was revealed once again.

Within the forest, furious beastly roars echoed one after another, sometimes accompanied by faint ripples of energy that spread through the air. The peace that once filled this place had long been shattered by the countless powerful experts who had intruded here.

The seemingly endless supply of ancient medicinal herbs, each brimming with potent energy, had driven many of them completely insane.

With such a vast number of rare treasures—if they could bring them out alive—they would be unimaginably rich. So, many of the intruders had gone utterly mad, scouring the forest in a frenzy. Yet amid all that chaos, the central region of the ancient forest appeared strangely quiet.

Two opposing groups stood facing each other from a distance, tension crackling in the air like drawn blades. One side was large in number—the Heaven Demon Phoenix Clan, one of the three great magic beast clans.

The other side, however, had only one person. But that lone figure stood there calm and collected, appearing completely unbothered.

On the other hand, the faces of the Heaven Demon Phoenix Clan members were filled with fury. The leader of the clan’s group was an old man dressed in black robes—a Five-Star Dou Zun.

Behind him stood Feng Qing’er, at the peak of the Dou Zong level, and beside her a young man in white robes, Feng Xuan, a Two-Star Dou Zun.

Such a lineup was far from weak—but against Ah Da, it was clearly not enough. At this moment, faint traces of blood still lingered at the corner of the black-robed elder’s mouth.

His eyes burned with rage as he glared at the composed Ah Da and shouted, ”Where’s Wei Yang? Tell him to come out! I want to ask him face to face—does he really intend to make an enemy of my Heaven Demon Phoenix Clan?”

Hearing that, the easygoing expression on Ah Da’s face froze for a moment. Then, from beneath the shadow of his cloak, his gaze turned cold, his voice like ice: ”In the ruins, treasures belong to whoever has the ability to seize them. Your Heaven Demon Phoenix Clan sure likes to throw its weight around, huh? What, are you threatening my master now?”

”Uh...” The black-robed elder’s tone faltered. He quickly shook his head and said, ”It’s not a threat. You’re right—treasures belong to those capable enough to take them. However, I sensed a bloodline resonance ahead, within the Beast Spiritual Barrier. That means one of our clan’s ancestors must have fallen there.”

He continued solemnly, ”You should know our clan’s rules well. The corpse or bloodline of a Heaven Demon Phoenix Clan must never be allowed to fall into the hands of outsiders.”

His expression hardened as he declared, ”Anyone who dares to defile or claim the remains of our clan will face our eternal vengeance—until death!”

”Until death?” Ah Da chuckled softly, then nodded. ”Well said. In that case, I guess I’ll just kill all of you here—then no one will ever know about this, right?”

As soon as he finished, Ah Da stopped talking and suddenly slammed his palm through the air.

Bang!

The space in front of him shattered like glass. Dark spatial cracks spread like lightning, racing straight toward the black-robed elder and the Heaven Demon Phoenix group behind him.

”Not good—retreat!”

Sensing the terrifying force rushing toward them, the black-robed elder’s expression changed drastically. He shouted, and his Dou Qi erupted to the limit as he raised both hands, striking out violently to meet the incoming rift.

Boom!

The impact was ferocious—the void was instantly pulverized, and a terrifying shockwave of energy blasted outward.

Pfft!

The elder’s throat tightened; a mouthful of blood spurted from his lips.

”Go!”

His body staggered back several steps before he managed to stabilize himself. Without hesitation, he turned and fled, taking the clan members with him.

Feeling Ah Da’s unrestrained killing intent, Feng Qing’er and the others went pale. They didn’t dare to linger and immediately followed the elder’s retreat.

Watching the Heaven Demon Phoenix group flee like frightened dogs, Ah Da’s hand clenched and loosened several times, an urge flickering in his eyes. But in the end, he let them go.

If he really wanted to kill them, once they scattered in different directions, he wasn’t confident he could eliminate all of them quickly.

Besides, he still had to guard this place and prevent others from interfering. So, after some thought, Ah Da decided not to take it too far—just chasing them away was enough.

Killing members of the Heaven Demon Phoenix Clan was no small matter. Ah Da didn’t dare make that decision on his own unless he was certain he could silence every witness.

After all, openly massacring the Heaven Demon Phoenix Clan was very different from merely clashing over relic treasures.

”Hmph, lucky you ran fast!” Ah Da muttered irritably as he watched the Heaven Demon Phoenix Clan vanish from sight.

At first, when he tried to stop them, they had been arrogant—refusing to leave and even trying to intimidate him with their status. But the moment he revealed his killing intent and struck, they fled faster than rabbits.

”Ungrateful fools, always have to make me take action before they behave.” Ah Da snorted disdainfully.

The Heaven Demon Phoenix Clan—one of the three great magic beast clans—so what?They thought they could threaten him?

His master dared to offend even the Hall of Souls to the death—so why would they care about the Heaven Demon Phoenix Clan?

Truly laughable.
