Chapter 982: The Missing Ancient Dragon and Heavenly Phoenix Powerhouses

Soon after, as the two flew above these things, they simultaneously stopped moving forward.

Standing in the sky, their gazes locked firmly onto the ground below.

At this moment, on the ground beneath them,

A large number of skeletons, each in its own pose, were buried under the sand, half-exposed and half-concealed, appearing in their view.

Lin Feng glanced briefly and saw that these skeletons were all enormous in size.

Even though they had lost their flesh and left only gleaming white bones, each occupied an area of at least a hundred zhang.

Furthermore, judging from the endless expanse of pale skeletons visible below,

the owners of these skeletons should be the Grand Void Ancient Dragon and the Heavenly Phoenix.

Indeed, these phoenix-type magic beast skeletons are those of the Heavenly Phoenix, not the Heavenly Demon Phoenix.

Because Lin Feng, relying on the Dragon Phoenix Power, could clearly sense

that the phoenix-type skeletons below have the same aura as the Heavenly Phoenix found in the Creator Saint's remains, and are not the aura of that Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan Discipline Hall Elder seen earlier!

"With so many skeletons, this place must be the burial ground of the Heavenly Phoenix and the Grand Void Ancient Dragon, right? Moreover, their size is not smaller than the two skeletons inside the Creator Saint's remains—it's even larger. These magic beasts, while alive, were at least of Battle Saint strength."

Lin Feng stared motionlessly downward, his lips trembling for a long time before he finally uttered these words.

Gazing at the endless white skeletons below, Lin Feng, for a moment, didn't know what words to use to express his feelings.

Even a rough glance at the skeletons below allowed him to roughly guess

At least dozens of Heavenly Phoenixes and Grand Void Ancient Dragons have fallen here.

Perhaps even more!

However, looking at the skeletons below, many bear obvious wounds, even being shattered by external force.

Furthermore, among the broken skeletons, some retain only the upper half, while others retain only the lower half.

In extreme cases, the body was directly torn in half from top to bottom by external force!

Given this situation, it is evident that these corpses, while alive, definitely underwent an extremely fierce battle.

Finally, they were all slain by their opponents, and their bones fell here.

But upon seeing this, Lin Feng's expression suddenly froze, his eyes widening as if he had recalled something.

Soon after, he murmured to himself: "I think I now know why those Ancient Dragon Clan experts who went missing with Zi Yan's father, and those Heavenly Phoenix Clan experts who vanished without reason, never returned to their clans."

"It's because the top experts of both clans fought a brutal battle here on the Northwest Continent thousands of years ago, and most perished here, unable to return to their clans."

However, at this moment, Feng'er beside him suddenly questioned: "No way, those skeletons below look like they've been here for a few thousand years, but why is their energy so severely depleted? Not to mention souls and consciousness, even the instinctive remnants of souls are gone."

"Even compared to the Heavenly Phoenix skeleton inside the Creator Saint's remains, the energy loss here is even more severe!"

Gazing at the skeletons below, Feng'er's expression changed, and she involuntarily felt a slight chill.

Hearing this, Lin Feng also snapped out of his shock and quickly turned his gaze to the skeletons below.

Upon realizing something was wrong, he tapped the void with his toe, his form instantly shooting across the air at high speed to land on the ground.

Immediately after, he slashed his finger across his palm, cutting open a wound.

He then quickly placed his palm, now oozing crimson blood, onto a bone of the Grand Void Ancient Dragon, attempting to communicate with the remnant soul within.

Seeing this, Feng'er in the air likewise followed suit, flashing to appear beside a Heavenly Phoenix skeleton.

She likewise cut her palm, placed it on a Heavenly Phoenix bone, and tried to connect with the beast soul inside.

However, no matter how they tried, they could never establish communication with the beast soul inside.

It was as if the beast soul had been forcibly sucked away by something, vanishing without a trace.

This eerie situation instantly caused a chill to rise from the soles of Lin Feng's and Feng'er's feet, rushing straight to their heavenly crowns.

"Useless, I have already taken the beast souls inside for my own use. No matter how you try to communicate, there will be no response."

Just as the two felt waves of chill from the disappearance of the beast souls, a female voice suddenly exploded beside their ears.

Immediately after, the sky above them suddenly flashed with bursts of golden light.

Then a figure slowly stepped out from within, revealing her true appearance.

"Who!"

Hearing that sudden blast, Lin Feng and the other instinctively shouted in alarm.

They quickly shifted their focus from the skeletons to the sky.

At that moment, they also suddenly realized that there might still be a conscious person present here.

As they looked up, a woman about thirty or forty years old, with a mature and gorgeous visage, her golden eyes revealing traces of majesty, stood smiling in the air above them.

However, her figure was somewhat translucent.

This appearance clearly indicates that she is currently merely a soul form.

Upon seeing the arrival, Lin Feng and Feng'er first felt a flicker of wariness in their eyes.

But soon they sensed from her an overwhelming pressure that they could not resist.

Even Lin Feng's soul power swept over her.

He discovered that the gap between them was like that between a vast sea and a tiny puddle the size of a porcelain bowl.

Of course, she is the sea, and he is the puddle.

"It seems I have miscalculated again; this woman's strength in life was probably of a world-shocking level. Yet, why does her aura resemble the grown-up Zi Yan, or more accurately, the Dragon Phoenix?"

Sensing the power of that soul above, Lin Feng, though greatly startled inwardly, dared not neglect her on the surface, and hastily cupped his hands: "Junior Lin Feng pays respects to Senior."

"Junior Feng Qinger pays respects to Senior."

Regarding the woman above emitting a powerful bloodline pressure, Feng'er likewise did not dare be careless, performing the same respectful salute.

Although she is now a Half-Saint expert,

but facing that senior, she always feels like an ant.

Thus, she now dares not harbor the slightest arrogance in her heart.

However, that woman did not look at Feng Qinger, but instead directed her gaze at Lin Feng.

After gazing for a long time, that woman's voice then continued to spread across this sky.

"You two, there's no need to be so formal."

As soon as her words fell, her voice immediately rang out across this sky: "Heavenly Realm Soul, Dragon Phoenix Power, Eight Different Flames, and a strange flame I don't recognize, Primordial Emperor Qi. Lin Feng, you really are an enviable little guy."

"Holy shit, this person is only a remnant soul left, yet he can still tell what these things of mine are!"

Upon hearing the other party lay out his trump cards one by one, Lin Feng instantly felt a strong surge of alarm in his heart.

Even though that person has been dead for so long, now with only a remnant soul, he not only instantly perceived his Heavenly Realm Soul and Dragon Phoenix Power.

Even the seven Different Flames he had absorbed within his body, and the Bone Spirit Chill Flame he had not yet had time to absorb, were all spoken out.

His methods are truly strong enough to make one's gall tremble incessantly.

It's hard to imagine how strong the other party's strength was when he was alive.

However, when Lin Feng heard the four words "Primordial Emperor Qi", he instantly froze in place.

How could he possibly possess something that exists only in legend?

Moreover, he has lived this long and has never come into contact with any Primordial Emperor Qi!

Even a Dou Emperor has only ever seen a remnant soul avatar of the Medicine Emperor in the river of time.

"Wait, the Medicine Emperor's avatar!"

Upon mentioning the Medicine Emperor, Lin Feng's eyes suddenly widened.

He recalled that in the river of time, the other party had made him consume those energies.

Immediately afterward, he thought of the Medicine Emperor's avatar, which would become somewhat weaker each time after condensing those energy herbs.

Previously, he had always thought that condensing those herbs required consuming the Medicine Emperor's own energy, which is why the other party would become somewhat weaker.

But judging from the current situation, it is likely that those energy herbs were condensed using the other party's own soul origin, and then he was allowed to absorb them.

Moreover, as a Dou Emperor powerhouse, the Medicine Emperor's body had already undergone an aberration, and furthermore, in that era of the Medicine Emperor, there was absolutely no shortage of Primordial Emperor Qi.

Within his soul origin, there existed some Primordial Emperor Qi, which also makes sense.

And upon thinking this, Lin Feng looked up at the mysterious man/woman in the sky and asked for confirmation: "Senior, do I possess Primordial Emperor Qi within my body?"

"Oh, looking at you like this, could it be that you don't know you possess Primordial Emperor Qi within your body?"

Seeing his expression, that woman also felt slightly surprised.

Having existed for so long, possessing Primordial Emperor Qi yet not knowing she had such a thing, she had truly never encountered such a person before.

As for Feng Er on the side, she was completely bewildered, watching the two and not knowing what they were talking about.

However, she could vaguely gather from their conversation that whatever Primordial Emperor Qi was, it was something very precious.

And when Lin Feng heard the other say that, seeing that hiding it was pointless, he simply spoke openly.

"I, as a junior, have only heard that Primordial Emperor Qi can help a peak Nine-Star Dou Saint powerhouse break through the barrier and directly reach Dou Emperor. But as for what exactly it is, I have no way of knowing."

Having said that, he immediately shifted the topic and continued: "However, I, as a junior, once fortunately encountered a remnant soul of a Dou Emperor powerhouse some time ago, who gave me some energy to eat. However, that senior didn't even finish speaking before suddenly disappearing. Could it be that the energy that senior gave me to eat was Primordial Emperor Qi?"

"A Dou Emperor remnant soul—you really are lucky. If I had your luck back then, I wouldn't have failed to break through to Dou Emperor."

Upon hearing the former's words, that mysterious woman immediately gave a bitter smile, not knowing what to say.

That powerful expert she had painstakingly sought for a thousand years without seeing, this little guy named Lin Feng not only encountered at a young age.

Moreover, that Dou Emperor powerhouse actually gave him a supreme treasure capable of making a Nine-Star Dou Saint go crazy.

But this little guy's clueless, bewildered expression really makes one laugh and cry.

"From your description, the thing that Dou Emperor gave you to eat should contain Primordial Emperor Qi. However, that Dou Emperor used some method to tightly seal that strand of Primordial Emperor Qi inside your body, making it extremely difficult for outsiders to detect."

"Now, it resides deep within your soul, hidden extremely deeply. If I hadn't initially come into contact with and used this thing, I might not have been able to detect it."

Upon saying this, a hint of envy and jealousy flickered in the woman's golden eyes.

If it weren't for the fact that she has been dead for thousands of years now, and obtaining Primordial Emperor Qi would be useless, she would have had to seize this thing.
