y.It is called a giant city, but it is actually a mountain city.Two mountains stood before them, and behind them were several large lakes. The liquid in the lakes was black and reflected their surroun...Red Lotus walked alone within the palace.

After entering the palace, it's as if you've entered another world.

Before stepping through the doors, from the outside, the palace seemed immense, but still finite.

But once inside, the road before them seemed to stretch on forever, with no end in sight.

The avenue was extremely wide, with no walls visible on either side, and no ceiling above.

Although there were paths all around, from the moment she stepped into this place, Honglian never veered off course. She simply walked forward, guided by her inner compass.

The light in the palace was sufficient, but it was unclear where it originated from.

Honglian just kept walking forward. Besides the sound of her own footsteps, she couldn't hear any other sounds.

We walked for what felt like an eternity, but the scenery around us remained unchanged.

Without a reference, it feels like I'm just treading water.

But Honlian's expression remained calm, showing no hint of confusion or panic.

Because the bloodline's guidance would never deceive her.

Even though the surrounding scenery remained unchanged, she was certain that she was gradually getting closer to what she was looking for.

However, she didn't know that... far behind her, a figure was quickly approaching.

This is a man in black.

Unlike red lotus, men who enter this palace change their eyes and aura.

His eyes glowed red, and a bloodthirsty smile spread across his face.

He walked, looking around, a smile spreading wider and wider across his face.

"This place... is full of the atmosphere of that era..." The man murmured in a low voice.

To him, this ancient aura was both familiar and strange.

It's been too long.

That era, though he had lived through it personally.

Looking back, it still feels very distant.

But all these years later, he's still alive.

This... did not disappoint the expectations of his elders back then.

"Father... I will avenge you. Let us, the House of Damo, rise again! Let us consume the Dragon Blood and reclaim our rightful place!" The man's smile vanished instantly, replaced by an icy coldness and burning hatred.

Since he merged with his avatars and returned to the world, he has been searching for the owner of Shenlong's primordial source, his mortal enemy.

However, more than half a year has passed and it hasn't been found yet.

But in this six months, he has not stopped growing stronger.

He devoured many high-level spirit beasts, high-level monsters, and some creatures that had survived from ancient times.

Before the esteemed lineage of the Swallow Dragon, countless beings...didn't even have the qualification to resist.

During this process, the Swallow Dragon's strength surged continuously.

But it's still not enough.

For Shentong, this is far from enough!

He knew how terrifying the Shenlong of that year was.

Even though the essence of the Divine Dragon has fallen to the point of merging with lowly humans, it is still not to be underestimated.

On his shoulders, he bore the blood feud of the Swallow Dragon lineage!

So, he must keep getting stronger, best to the point where he could instantly devour the owner of the Shenlong Origin.

And just as he was searching for the aura of the Dragon God's origin while casually devouring other creatures... he suddenly caught the scent of a Phoenix clan being.

Phoenix clan.

An equally ancient tribe.

At its peak, the Feng Clan was nearly as powerful as the Dragon Clan.

However, as the Phoenix Clan is inherently averse to conflict, there has never been a war between the Dragon and Phoenix Clans, and their relationship remains relatively harmonious.

But this has nothing to do with the dragon-eating dragons banished from the Dragon Clan!

Now, he has discovered the Phoenix clan creatures. What he seeks naturally is the ancient Phoenix clan's superior bloodline and profound cultivation!

As long as this Phoenix Clan creature is successfully devoured... then, one will be able to face the possessor of the Divine Dragon Origin with overwhelming force.

This will be his last feast.

After this, he will devote all his efforts to searching for the whereabouts of the Divine Dragon's Origin.

The man stared ahead, his face grim, and suddenly increased his speed.

……

North District Building 101.

It is already evening.

To avoid being attacked by the punisher, Fang Yu asked Xiao Ling to stay temporarily in the big house.

Xiao Ling also had some injuries on her body, which needed time to recover. She was placed in a house in the west of the mansion and went into seclusion.

Fang Yu sat on the top floor of the bamboo building, thinking about what had happened today.

The warnings from the ancient clan, the colossal demonic shadow that caused the Void Devourer to lose control, came from the punishers of the Bi Tian Zong many years ago... and there's also the teleportation array beneath the ground, and even the arrival of Bai Kong Gu just now.

Everything is suspect.

Faced with so many questions, the average person would surely be scratching their head.

But for Fang Yu, it was not so bad.

After all, there are always more ways than difficulties.

These are things I don't quite understand yet, but I'm sure I'll figure them out eventually.

"Ancient Clan..."

Fang Yu found that alien bestiary and once again browsed through it.

Indeed, although this alien compendium categorizes many aliens as ancient races, it never provides a detailed explanation of the ancient races themselves.

That's rather strange.

Because this bestiary, both in text and illustrations… is quite rigorous.

Why is there a lack of detailed information about the ancient tribe, such a significant clan

When one thinks of the Ancient Clan, one inevitably recalls the layer of dark clouds that hangs over Mount Imperial Sky.

Over the vast expanse of the Tianlin forest, a thick blanket of clouds enveloped every inch.

And the face in the sky above the clouds... The azure light it blasted out directly awakened the alien beast.

From then on, Fang Yu had associated that vast expanse of clouds with the ancient clan.

However, I didn't have time to get more information.

The Heavenly Firmament Spear thrust towards the dark clouds, causing them to dissipate completely.

Although the true cause of the clouds parting remains unclear, at least this is what we could see with our own eyes.

Fang Yu thought about it carefully but couldn't figure out the reason.

He extended his right hand, summoning the Celestial Sky Halberd. He once again observed the halberd's shaft, where a black mark had been left behind earlier.

It is still impossible to see any traces, it has been repaired perfectly by the Ruyi Green Lotus.

When thinking of Ruyi Qinglian, Fang Yu's heart still held doubts.

Where did this blue lotus go before Why did it appear on its own only today

According to the information provided by the Fire Jade and the Tears of Frost, the Lotus of Fulfillment... in simple terms, it purifies and strengthens.

Fang Yu has already seen the effects of purification.

As for the strengthening, it would be used in conjunction with Inferno and Tears of Absolute Cold. The effect will have to wait until after actual combat to see.

Thinking this, Fang Yu raised his right palm and summoned the Ruishi Qinglian.

A blue light flashed across his right palm, accompanied by a calming aura.

"This Ruyi Qinglian probably also has the effect of purifying the mind." Fang Yu's eyes moved slightly, "Otherwise, the Shekong beast wouldn't have recovered so quickly."

After observing for a while, Fang Yu retracted the Heavenly Soaring Halberd.

Just then, he suddenly remembered the broken Sword of Heavenly Dao.

By the way... Ruyi Qinglian, would it work on the Heavenly Dao Sword

Although the Ice Tears said that Ruyi Qinglian only had the effect of purification and not repair.

But at the same time, Ruyi Qinglian also has a strengthening effect!

If the Heaven's Path Sword could be strengthened by the Ruyi Green Lotus... what would it look like

Thinking this way, Fang Yu took out the Heavenly Dao Sword.

He clutched the broken blade of the Heavenly Dao Sword in his left hand, and enlarged the Auspicious Green Lotus slightly with his right.

Then, he placed the broken point of the Heavenly Dao Sword within the radiance of the Ruyi Azure Lotus.

After waiting for ten seconds, there was no change.

Just like two completely unrelated objects, the Ru Yi Qing Lian's light still exists, and its aura is very strong.

But it did not react to the Heavenly Sword within.

"Master, this broken sword in your hand was damaged due to external force and the Ruyi Qinglian cannot repair it." The voice of Jihanguan's tears rang out, cold and indifferent.

"I know it can't be fixed, I just wanted to see if there was any way to strengthen it or something, but apparently not." Fang Yu said.

"The Ruyi Qinglian is not a complete weapon, so I won't strengthen it," Jihan Zilei said. "Master, if you want to strengthen it, you need to forge it anew first."

"Reforging..."

Fang Yu looked at the Heavenly Dao Sword in his hand, gently shaking his head, a strange light flashing in his eyes.

Actually, back then he had indeed thought about repairing the broken part of the Heavenly Dao Sword.

If you can't do it yourself, find a master swordsmith.

But later, he changed his mind.

The Heavenly Dao Sect is gone, so what good is it even if the Heavenly Dao Sword is repaired

And the shattered Heavenly Dao Sword could still remind Fang Yu...d to solidify into one being!"Why are you always thinking about hiding Since you've decided to attack me and make me pay, you should go all out, not keep dodging!" Fang Yu sneered and said.The ghost o...
