Chapter 275 Dragon-Phoenix Origin Fruit

Shen Wen originally thought it would be like the space he discovered that Zhu Kun had left behind.

A desolate and deathly silent shattered space.

After all, for a space hidden deep underground, how prosperous could one expect it to be?

But everything before his eyes was completely beyond his expectations.

What met his gaze was a vast and boundless world.

The sky was a pale silver-gray, a unique color that appeared when Space Power reached a certain level of density.

A silver moon hung high, casting down a cold radiance that illuminated the entire space.

Below, mountain ranges stretched on, rivers crisscrossed, and forests grew dense.

Countless towering ancient trees rose from the ground, their canopies blotting out the sun. Rich world energy flowed between these ancient trees, condensing into a faint mist, like a fairyland.

What surprised Shen Wen even more was that this world was not deathly silent.

His Soul Power spread out like mercury spilling across the ground, and he soon sensed countless life auras.

There were Demonic Beasts running in the mountains, birds soaring in the sky, and fish swimming in the rivers... the lowest were only Tier 3 or 4, but the highest had actually reached the level of a Dou Zong.

"This place..."

A hint of surprise flashed in Shen Wen's eyes.

Able to thrive for so many years in such a hidden space, these Demonic Beasts had likely never been in contact with the outside world, evolving entirely on their own within this enclosed realm.

He withdrew his Soul Power and cast his gaze toward the deepest part of this space.

There, two auras were the strongest and most unique.

One was exceptionally familiar to him.

The power of a Void Ancient Dragon.

That aura was vast and majestic, carrying the domineering pride unique to the Dragon Clan. Even from a great distance, one could feel the pressure emanating from deep within the Bloodline.

But the other one...

Shen Wen frowned slightly.

That power was equally strong, not even inferior to the Void Ancient Dragon's, yet its aura was completely different.

It was lighter, more ethereal, yet carried a similarly ancient majesty. It was like a Phoenix above the Nine Heavens, looking down upon all living beings with pride and indifference.

"Heavenly Demon Phoenix?"

Shen Wen muttered to himself and then shook his head.

No, it's not a Heavenly Demon Phoenix.

He had seen the aura of a Heavenly Demon Phoenix; though it was also strong, it lacked something compared to the power before him. That ancient purity originating from deep within the Bloodline was something a Heavenly Demon Phoenix could not match.

He rubbed his chin, a thoughtful light flashing in his eyes, and then his tone carried a hint of surprise:

"Ancient Heavenly Phoenix?"

Once this thought arose, it could no longer be suppressed.

The Ancient Heavenly Phoenix was a Phoenix lineage even older than the Heavenly Demon Phoenix.

It was said that in extremely ancient times, the Heavenly Demon Phoenix was merely a descendant branch of the Ancient Heavenly Phoenix. After countless years of evolution, it gradually formed one of the three current overlord tribes of the Demonic Beast world.

But the true Ancient Heavenly Phoenix had long since vanished into the long river of history.

Although he had never seen an Ancient Heavenly Phoenix, with such an aura and the True Phoenix Treasure Technique he cultivated...

Though they were from different worlds, the auras were similar.

It could only be an Ancient Heavenly Phoenix.

Shen Wen stood in mid-air. In his perception, those two powerful auras had become extremely clear.

The majestic dominance of the Void Ancient Dragon and the ethereal pride of the Ancient Heavenly Phoenix intertwined and clashed within this enclosed space, having confronted each other for an unknown number of years.

He did not disturb the Demonic Beasts below. With a flicker of his body, he flew directly toward the source of the auras.

With his current strength and mastery over Space Power, it was easy to avoid the perception of those Demonic Beasts.

In just a moment, he arrived at the deepest part of this space.

It was a massive valley.

The valley was surrounded by an invisible space barrier. Had he not possessed the space ancestral talisman and refined the Azure Dragon Body using tai xu ancient dragon essence blood, he likely wouldn't have sensed this barrier at all.

Shen Wen passed through the barrier, and the sight before him made him pause slightly.

In the center of the valley, two massive corpses were intertwined.

One was a Void Ancient Dragon.

That dragon corpse still emitted a heart-palpitating pressure.

The dragon's body was hundreds of feet long, covered entirely in purple-gold scales. Even as time passed, those scales still shimmered with a cold luster.

Its dragon head was held high; even in death, those dragon eyes remained wide open, revealing unwilling pride.

And opposite it, intertwined with it, was an equally massive corpse.

It resembled a Heavenly Demon Phoenix but was even more magnificent.

Its wings, when spread, were hundreds of feet wide.

These feathers were not the dark gold common to the Heavenly Demon Phoenix.

Instead, they displayed a nearly dazzling gold-purple color. Faint runic light flowed over every feather. Even in death, it still radiated a majesty that one dared not look at directly.

An Ancient Heavenly Phoenix.

Shen Wen slowly landed, his gaze sweeping between the two corpses.

Their fatal wounds were both in the chest.

On the Void Ancient Dragon's body, a hideous claw mark pierced through its heart. The scales there were completely shattered, revealing the long-dried flesh beneath.

On the Ancient Heavenly Phoenix's chest was a massive piercing wound that went through to its back. Judging by the shape, it was clearly pierced by a single strike from a dragon's claw.

They had perished together.

Shen Wen understood clearly.

These two ancient beings must have gone through a world-shaking battle back then, eventually both falling here.

His gaze continued downward, falling below the two corpses.

There, a small lake had gathered.

The color of the lake water was an intertwined gold and purple, emitting astonishing energy fluctuations.

That was the essence blood of two Saint-Grade level beings, which had slowly flowed down over the long years to form a blood lake.

Although the blood lake was small, the energy contained within was enough to drive any Dou Zun expert mad.

But Shen Wen's gaze only lingered on the blood lake for a moment before suddenly freezing.

In the center of the blood lake, a strange plant grew quietly.

The plant was not tall, about half the height of a person, and was entirely silver-white. Space Power faintly flowed between its branches and leaves. At its tip grew a fruit.

The fruit was about the size of a palm, entirely gold and purple.

The golden half, in its winding twists, outlined a Void Ancient Dragon shrunk countless times—dragon scales, dragon claws, and dragon horns were all lifelike.

The purple half was an Ancient Heavenly Phoenix dancing with spread wings. Its wings were extended and its Phoenix crest held high, as if it could soar through the air at any moment.

The gold and purple colors were intertwined yet distinct, confronting each other while also depending on each other, emitting a terrifying fluctuation that made one's Soul tremble.

Shen Wen's pupils suddenly constricted.

"dragon phoenix origin fruit?"

He murmured softly, his tone carrying an irrepressible surprise.

He naturally knew of this thing.

The Void Ancient Dragon and the Ancient Heavenly Phoenix, these two ancient races, were both top overlords of the Demonic Beast world back then.

The dragon phoenix origin fruit is formed after a Void Ancient Dragon and an Ancient Heavenly Phoenix perish simultaneously, their Bloodlines absorbing and fusing with each other through Fusion.

Only then is there an extremely low probability of this rare treasure growing.

This fruit contained the Origin power of the two ancient Bloodlines.

If consumed by a Demonic Beast, it would be possible to simultaneously inherit the Bloodlines of the Void Ancient Dragon and the Ancient Heavenly Phoenix, evolving into the legendary Dragon Phoenix.
