On the main star of the Phoenixes, a figure quickly flew over.

“Who is it!”

A few guards of the Phoenixes guarding the mountain shouted loudly. They rushed out and cautiously looked at this person who had suddenly appeared.

“You don’t recognize me?” The voice was gloomy and carried a bit of hostility.

“Sir Feng Xinxiao?” Someone suddenly said with uncertainty.

The others took a closer look. This person’s appearance had changed greatly, but he still had a lot of similarities with Feng Xinxiao.

“I didn’t expect that you’d forget me after I left for such a short time!” Feng Xinxiao’s eyes carried a hint of coldness.

“It’s not that, sir. It’s just that you’ve changed too much…”

Only then did the few guards confirm that the person in front of them was really Feng Xinxiao. His appearance had changed greatly, but his aura could not be changed. Although Feng Xinxiao had changed his body, his soul still belonged to the Phoenixes.

A red light flew over from afar. After seeing the person who had come, the viciousness in Feng Xinxiao’s eyes receded a little. With a smile on his face, he said, “Father.”

The person who had come was Feng Tian. He looked at Feng Xinxiao with excitement in his eyes.

These days, he had been searching for news of his son. He had even gone to the heart of origins once. Nonetheless, that place had become the world of the Golden Crows and the Qiongqis. He had not found any trace of Feng Xinxiao among them. The father and son were linked by the heart. He had sensed it when Feng Xinxiao had just returned.

“Xinxiao, how did you…” Feng Tian noticed the change in his son. His son had lost his true form as a phoenix, and the aura on his body had become so terrifying that it made his heart palpitate.

Ou Yangming and the Mystic Sky Sect’s sect leader did not care much about a dead Demon King. They had never thought of possessing the king’s body. Not to mention that the Demon King’s body had been cut into two halves, possessing a Demon King was almost impossible.

Nevertheless, the 2 of them did not expect that the Demon King had managed to escape a trace of his natal true spirit through his secret technique at the last moment. Even so, this natal true spirit was devoured by Feng Xinxiao, who took over his body.

“Father, let’s go back and discuss it slowly,” Feng Xinxiao said in a deep voice.

“Alright.” Feng Tian also knew that this was not the place to talk. Something must have happened to his son’s body.

The 2 of them flew away and flew toward the tall tower in the distance.

After Feng Xinxiao left, the few guards also let out a collective sigh of relief. Facing Feng Xinxiao, they felt as if there was a huge rock pressing down on their hearts.

“What’s wrong with Sir Feng Xinxiao? I feel that he’s so fearsome,” a guard of the Phoenixes said softly.

The others nodded as well. It was not just one person who felt it.

“Sir Feng Xinxiao was very proud in the past, but he wouldn’t reveal his killing intent toward us. Just now, I felt that if Elder Feng Tian hadn’t come here, he might’ve killed us.”

“He probably won’t kill us, but it would’ve been inevitable for him to teach us a lesson.” The few guards were very terrified.

On the top floor of the Seven Stars Tower, Feng Xinxiao stood by the window and looked down at the Phoenixes’ headquarters.

Feng Tian’s eyes were filled with anger. He clenched his fists and said in shock, “What? That fella Ou Yangming almost killed you? Didn’t you already comprehend the law of slaughter at that time? How did he…”

He found it hard to believe. When Ou Yangming left, he was only a Venerable One.

“That’s right. That guy must’ve had some fortuitous encounter in the heart of origins and mingled with those Shamans. His strength has increased a lot. I was careless, and my body was destroyed by him.” Feng Xinxiao’s eyes were filled with strong killing intent. “If it wasn’t for the sudden evolution of the law of slaughter when I was about to die and the fact that I released a portion of my true spirit, I’m afraid that I wouldn’t be able to see you again, Father.”

“That damned bastard. The first time he came to the Phoenixes’ headquarters, I should’ve killed him without caring about anything else!”

Feng Tian was furious when he heard that his son had almost died because of Ou Yangming. He did not think that if Feng Xinxiao had not taken the initiative to provoke the young fellow, the young fellow would not have bothered with him at all.

Feng Xinxiao laughed. “Father, actually, I still have to thank him.”

“Why?” Feng Tian did not understand.

Feng Xinxiao suddenly revealed a trace of his aura. With that, the entire Seven Stars Tower was covered by his killing intent.

Even Feng Tian felt powerless.

Feng Tian was a famous elder of the Phoenixes. His strength was already at the peak of the law boundary. He was just a step away from the second step. Now, he could not even withstand a bit of his son’s aura.

After Feng Xinxiao withdrew his aura, Feng Tian asked while panting, “Xinxiao, your strength?”

Feng Xinxiao stood with his hands behind his back with an indifferent expression. He said, “At the moment of my death, the power of my law of slaughter evolved once again. I’ve already reached the second step. These days, I’ve been living in the chaotic space and devoured a lot of souls. My power of law is close to the peak of the second step. Besides, I’ve possessed the body of a Demon King. Now, even a supreme mighty figure in the third step can’t do anything to me. All of this was because of Ou Yangming. Don’t you think I should thank him?”

“What!” Feng Tian widened his eyes with an incredulous look.

His son had gained such powerful strength. Furthermore, he even possessed the body of a Demon King. This was too…

After a long time, Feng Tian gradually calmed down.

“Xinxiao, what do you plan to do?” Feng Tian asked in a deep voice.

Feng Xinxiao’s gaze became gloomy and cold. “I can sense that a crisis is about to appear in the Great Wide World. There’s no need for a battle with the Dragons now.”

Feng Tian frowned and asked, “Do you intend to compromise with those people from the Peacemaking Sect?”

He was a little displeased when he heard his son’s words. He had fought with Feng Mu and the others for so long because they had different opinions. If he compromised, would it not be a slap to his face?

“Compromise? Hahaha!” Feng Xinxiao suddenly burst into laughter. A violent aura erupted from his body. This aura was only maintained within the Seven Stars Tower’s range and did not expand in any way. He looked at his father and said, “Father, I only said that I won’t fight with the Dragons for the time being, but I didn’t say that I’ll compromise with those people from the Peacemaking Sect. Now that the crisis is coming, the Phoenixes should only have one voice.”

“You mean…”

Feng Tian was startled and suddenly understood. He did not finish his words.

“What you thought of is what I plan to do, Father,” Feng Xinxiao said without any hesitation, “It’s fine if those guys obey but if they don’t…”

A murderous intent burst out from Feng Xinxiao’s eyes. This murderous intent was just right to show his attitude.

Feng Tian’s complexion was a bit bad. He said in a deep voice, “If we do this, what if we alarm Great Ancestor…”

“So what?”

Feng Xinxiao said coldly, “Between me and those guys, I think Great Ancestor should know who to choose. Even if Great Ancestor stands on their side, it’s not a big deal. I, Feng Xinxiao, don’t need to explain to anyone if I want to kill someone.”

Strength was confidence. Now, Feng Xinxiao did not even have any respect for the great ancestor of the Phoenixes.

He looked down and said with a gloomy voice, “I remember that Ou Yangming still has 2 friends here…”

In the Enlightenment Pavilion.

Ou Yangming gradually stood up. His right eyelid twitched slightly as if something bad was going to happen.

‘What’s wrong?’ Ou Yangming thought for a moment, but he did not have any clue.

“Let’s get out of here first.”

Ou Yangming collected his thoughts. Time was almost up. No matter what happened, he had to get out of here first.

This time, Ou Yangming was full of confidence. Not to mention a stone door, he even felt that he could poke a hole in the Enlightenment Pavilion.

He got up and walked toward the stone door. The bright black Reincarnation Spear appeared in his hand. His eyes looked straight ahead like a sharp sword that was unsheathed, revealing its sharpness!

Ou Yangming circulated his spiritual power. Every cell in his body released all of its power. He growled, and the Reincarnation Spear in his hand suddenly stabbed forward.

“Extermination!”

The Reincarnation Spear that was emitting the mysterious yellow Heaven-opening Qi had a terrifying aura. This aura was many times more terrifying than the powers of laws.

At this time, the profound meanings of extermination and the ultimate power of the universe were displayed in Ou Yangming’s hand.

Boom! A series of violent explosions sounded.

The big stone that had been unbreakable and had blocked Ou Yangming for 50 years exploded and turned into a pile of dust. Behind the stone was a big door. The door was opened, and outside was a world full of vitality.

“Congratulations.” The voice that had not appeared for a long time finally appeared again.

“Congratulations on passing the Enlightenment Pavilion’s test. This pavilion is also a gift from me to you. If one day you go to the primal chaos, I hope that you can take revenge for me. My name is Hong, and I’m the leader of the First Celestials.”

The voice fell silent again. This time, it disappeared forever.

Ou Yangming took a step forward, and the Enlightenment Pavilion instantly disappeared. It turned into a small black box the size of a palm and landed in his hand.

“Hong…” Ou Yangming remembered this name in his heart.

After getting the pavilion to recognize him as its master, the pavilion also became his treasure. It was also an Innate Spirit Treasure.

This was the second Innate Spirit Treasure that Ou Yangming had obtained. Its function was even more magical than that of the Earth’s Demolition Cauldron. The powerful profound meanings of space and time made this place a paradise for cultivation.

Ou Yangming took a deep breath and walked outside.

50 years of cultivation had helped him develop a calm personality.

Outside was a mineral vein. The ground was covered with Dripping Blood Stones. They were so dense that Ou Yangming could not count them all.

Not far away, there was a fast-flowing river. Inside the river, one could see many Dripping Blood Stones that had been washed away.

This was the source of the waterfall.

All of a sudden, Ou Yangming turned around and saw a black shadow flying toward him quickly.

“Little b*stard, you’re finally out!”
