Yang Qi's expression froze, sensing the death energy in the world, and muttered to himself, "It should not be just that, it is also related to the death energy in this space."
Death energy can even corrode the soul, but the giant bird condensed its body with death energy. If it was just soul power, it would have been corroded and dissipated by the death energy long ago.
"These soul powers are different from the soul powers of the Ten Thousand Souls Pearl. These soul powers are full of the breath of death. Are they the mutation of the residual souls?" Yang Qi frowned.
The environment can change living things, and both the body and soul may be affected and changed, just like a piece of iron placed next to a magnet, which will become magnetic after a long time. Under the erosion of death energy, the residual soul not only did not annihilate, but adapted to the death energy, and finally merged and survived, relying on the Phoenix Essence and Phoenix Source to become this special existence.
Feeling the struggle of Feng Yuan's consciousness, Yang Qi sighed and said, "You were all strong before you. Even if you have fallen, you don't want to be like this now."
Buzz~
As he spoke, a thick black phoenix flame suddenly surged out of Yang Qi's body, completely enveloping the Phoenix Source. The remaining soul power and consciousness on the Phoenix Source quickly dissipated under the burning of the black phoenix flame, and were completely annihilated in the blink of an eye.
As these soul powers dissipated, the Phoenix Source in Yang Qi's hands also calmed down. Yang Qi checked and found that the Phoenix Source at this time was no different from the two Phoenix Sources he had obtained before!
Yang Qi looked at the lifeless surroundings and said slowly, "After we leave the Holy Land, we must inform Feng Yan about this matter, otherwise I'm afraid that more monsters like this will be born."
The appearance of this monster is entirely due to the special environment of the holy land. As long as the environment here does not change, this creature may continue to appear. Whether the Phoenix Clan changes the environment here in the future or cleans it up regularly, it must be taken seriously. Otherwise, over time, the Phoenix Clan's holy land may become a forbidden area.
Whoosh~
Yang Qi moved and turned into a stream of light, flying away into the distance. Now he needed to get at least one portion of Phoenix Essence before he could leave the holy land.
Not sure if Yang Qi’s good luck had run out, but in the next few days, he didn’t make any discoveries, let alone obtain any Phoenix Essence.
"It has been half a month since I entered the holy land, and I am still short of one more Phoenix Essence to meet the minimum requirements." Yang Qi sighed.
After discovering that the Black Phoenix Flame could annihilate the dead energy, Yang Qi no longer worried about how long he could stay in the Holy Land. He directly used the Black Phoenix Flame to comb through the dead energy in his body and soul, and could stay here indefinitely. However, he and Feng Yan and others had an agreement to leave the Holy Land in a month. After all, under normal circumstances, a Martial King Realm could only stay for a month.
In the following time, Yang Qi also quickened the pace of searching, but even so, he still did not find a piece of Phoenix Essence. In a blink of an eye, more than twenty days had passed since Yang Qi entered the holy land.
Just as Yang Qi was searching for the Phoenix Essence and Phoenix Source, a huge pit deep in the holy land was filled with dark red liquid. The liquid exuded a strong aura of death and was constantly surging.
Ang~ Ang~
Near this big pit, loud and clear phoenix cries were heard, and giant birds tens or even hundreds of feet long were circling in the sky. These giant birds were exactly the same as the one Yang Qi had killed before, except for their size.
Plop~
Suddenly, a giant bird that was circling in the air plunged into the pit. The next moment, the bird's body was completely absorbed into the liquid in the pit, becoming indistinguishable from the bird itself.
As the giant bird's body merged, a portion of Phoenix Essence floated on the dark red liquid and soon gathered in the center of the pit, where countless Phoenix Essence and Phoenix Source had already gathered. These Phoenix Essence and Phoenix Source combined with each other to form a human figure, but the human figure at this time was missing a head.
Plop~
After the phoenix essence combined with the human body, another giant bird in the air dived into the pit. In this way, the human-shaped body became more and more complete.
…
Looking at the familiar surroundings and the familiar corpse in front of him, Yang Qi frowned slightly and said in a deep voice, "It seems that I have been here before?"
He originally thought that the holy land in front of him was something like a secret realm, but now it seems to be something like a planet, like the Yuhuang Realm, and it should be a spherical space. It is precisely because of this that this space seems to have no end. It was just a coincidence this time that brought him back to the place he had passed by, and made him realize that this was a spherical cemetery!
Yang Qi looked around and muttered to himself, "So, I may have circled the entire cemetery several times?"
“According to Feng Yan, although they collected some Phoenix Essence and Phoenix Source in history, there should be a lot left. But along the way, I only obtained three portions of Phoenix Source and two portions of Phoenix Essence.” Yang Qi pondered.
The Phoenix Clan itself is a top bloodline with extremely high talent and potential. In addition, its strength is stronger than that of the cultivation forces like the Cang Qiong Palace. There are not many times when they really need Phoenix Essence and Phoenix Source for emergencies. If the previous clan leader had not suddenly disappeared, this generation of the Phoenix Clan might not have needed to enter the holy land to collect Phoenix Essence and Phoenix Source for emergencies.
It is also because of this that there are many Phoenix Essences and Phoenix Sources remaining in the Phoenix Clan’s Holy Land. However, along the way, Yang Qi has never seen Phoenix Essences and Phoenix Sources at the Martial Emperor level, let alone Phoenix Essences and Phoenix Sources at the Martial King level. These things seem to have disappeared!
Yang Qi recalled the monsters he had seen before, and his face suddenly changed, "Could it be..."
It is impossible for these Phoenix Essences and Phoenix Sources to disappear, but if they have self-awareness, it is not impossible for them to gather in one place. In this case, it is not surprising that he cannot find them.
“The senior before once said that he couldn’t find any trace of consciousness back then. But although Feng Yuan that I met before was quite powerful with the help of death energy, death energy cannot threaten the Martial Emperor!” Yang Qi’s eyes condensed.
The death energy is indeed terrifying. It can corrode the body and soul, but it cannot corrode the Martial Emperor. If the consciousness discovered by the Phoenix Clan Martial Emperor back then was only as strong as the giant bird that Yang Qi encountered before, it would have been destroyed by the Martial Emperor long ago!
However, the Martial Emperor at that time was unable to find any trace of that consciousness. Such a concealment method was definitely not comparable to the consciousness that he had annihilated before. In other words, there is still a similar consciousness in this space, or it may even be a more powerful consciousness.
"Damn, if that's the case, then we're in big trouble!"
Yang Qi's face looked extremely ugly. If that consciousness gathered countless phoenix essences and phoenix sources, it would definitely condense into an extremely terrifying body of death energy. Even if his Black Phoenix Flame could restrain the death energy, he would definitely not be a match if he encountered such an existence!
"Leave the holy land first!"
Yang Qi moved and was about to leave. This matter was no longer something he could handle.
Buzz~
At this moment, the dead energy in the world suddenly moved, and countless dead energy gathered in the distance, just like the vital energy of the world that had gathered in the past. (To be continued)
