Chapter 627 Getting ready to leave

After Xiao Ling stored the ninth-order magic core that emitted pure energy and the huge corpse of the Sky Demon Phoenix into his personal space, his figure that was hovering in the air slowly descended and his feet stepped back on the blood pool below.

The aftermath of the battle had not yet completely dissipated, and the air seemed to still linger with the unwilling roar of the Sky Demon Phoenix before its death and the aftermath of the energy explosion. But at this moment, these had nothing to do with him.

The pure energy of the magic core and the various benefits that the huge corpse could bring filled his heart with joy of harvest.

Xiao Ling's mind relaxed a little, and the tension of the battle dissipated a little.

He began to think, and his attention was involuntarily drawn to the huge corpse of the Sky Demon Phoenix, which had been taken into space but whose power was still there.

The body of this top-level monster, whether it is the material itself or other secrets it may contain, is enough to be exchanged for a staggering amount of wealth or resources, which will undoubtedly be of great benefit to his future path of cultivation.

Another thing that made his heart beat fast was naturally the magic core of the ninth-level heavenly demon phoenix.

He could almost imagine what kind of transformation and help it would bring to Zi Yan when he handed over this high-quality Heavenly Demon Phoenix Demon Core to her.

He has always been aware of Zi Yan's talent, and due to the special nature of the Dragon Phoenix Origin Fruit, this magic core will undoubtedly be the best catalyst to help her break through the bottleneck and make further progress.

Just these beautiful ideas were enough to make Xiao Ling's mood involuntarily excited.

The fatigue accumulated from the previous fierce battle and the urging of mental strength was like ice and snow encountering the sun, melting quickly and disappearing without a trace.

Instead, there is a sense of relief and a rising sense of anticipation.

However, just as Xiao Ling was immersed in the joyful fantasy in his heart, an unusual energy fluctuation quietly came from his body, like a stone thrown into a calm lake, causing ripples to spread out gently.

Xiao Ling was acutely aware of this strange feeling, and the excitement in his heart froze for a moment. He immediately gathered his mind, sank his consciousness into his body, and carefully examined it.

In a short while, he locked onto the source. The ancestral stone in his body was moving unusually at this moment, emitting a faint white halo.

Xiao Ling's heart moved, and he immediately concentrated his mind and focused all his attention on the ancestral stone, trying to figure out what was going on.

Although he was still unclear about the specific reason, his intuition told him that the spirit of the ancestral stone must have sensed something and wanted to communicate with him.

Sure enough, when Xiao Ling completely poured his mind into the warm ancestral stone, a familiar and powerful spiritual wave instantly surged into his sea of ​​consciousness.

And this is the spirit of the ancestral stone, which is conveying messages to himself through the relationship between it and the ancestral stone.

The voice of the Ancestral Stone Spirit rang in Xiao Ling's mind, with a rare solemnity and urgency: "Xiao Ling, the sealing power of the Heavenly Demon Phoenix statue you saw when you entered this special space has reached the critical point of collapse. Now it can no longer be suppressed and is falling apart at a speed visible to the naked eye."

“Once the statue is completely shattered, the news here will probably be spread out immediately. When the strong men in the Sky Demon Phoenix Clan notice the movement here, they will probably follow the trail immediately!”

"It would be best if you have already achieved your goal. If not, stop now. No matter how precious the thing you want to take is, it is far less important than your life. If you hesitate any longer, when the people of the Sky Demon Clan arrive, even if you have great abilities, you will not be able to escape successfully."

"I can vaguely sense that there is a strong person in the Sky Demon Phoenix Clan who is not inferior to Yao Chen by many levels. You are not able to deal with such a person at the moment."

The rapid and solemn voice of the Ancestral Stone Spirit was like cold water that instantly awakened Xiao Ling's mind from his joyful fantasy.

He was keenly aware that the situation was now far more urgent than he had imagined.

With the almost eternally unchanging indifferent character of the spirit of the ancestral stone, it is very rare for it to show such strong emotional fluctuations, let alone repeatedly urging and speaking with concern.

The obvious concern that could be heard in its words at this moment was enough to show that the situation had reached a critical point and was indeed not optimistic.

Xiao Ling's mind raced, not daring to be negligent in the slightest.

He immediately mobilized his mental power to convey information to the ancestral stone. He needed to let the spirit of the ancestral stone know his situation and decision.

"Yan, I've got everything I need." Xiao Ling's voice was transmitted through his thoughts, with a hint of urgency, but he tried to remain calm, "I'm ready to evacuate now, you don't have to worry."

Almost at the same time as his thoughts came out, the rapid tone of the Ancestral Stone Spirit gradually calmed down with Xiao Ling's response.

That familiar and steady voice sounded again in Xiao Ling's sea of ​​consciousness, but it still contained a subtle warning:

"In that case, you should prepare to leave immediately. If you want to leave the depths of Phoenix Mausoleum quickly and safely, your own strength may not be enough. You need my full assistance to ensure that nothing goes wrong."

After the communication with the spirit of the ancestral stone ended, the fluctuations in the ancestral stone gradually subsided, and Xiao Ling no longer had the slightest intention of staying.

He knew very well that this was a place of right and wrong, and staying here any longer would be dangerous.

With a quick glance, he noticed that the Meteorite Weapon, which had not yet been retracted, was still floating nearby, emitting a sharp and majestic aura.

Almost the moment the thought flashed through his mind, Xiao Ling no longer hesitated.

He grasped the jet-black divine weapon, which seemed to be forged from star fragments, with his backhand, and he firmly grasped it.

As he picked up the spear, an indescribable feeling of heaviness and power instantly spread to his limbs and bones. With a flick of his wrist, the Meteorite Weapon was no longer just a weapon, but an extension of his will.

"Pfft!"

The Meteoric Divine Weapon cut through the sky, not slashing at any entity, but piercing straight into the twisted void.

As the weapon passed, a huge space crack as deep as ink, as if connecting to another dimension, was torn open silently.

The crack was not empty, but was filled with visible, violent and surging space force, like a hungry beast, roaring silently, ready to tear intruders to pieces at any time.

But Xiao Ling did not hesitate at all, and a look of determination flashed in his eyes.

He stomped his feet suddenly, and the blood pool beneath him seemed to be disturbed, suddenly exploding, stirring up a raging blood-colored wave that was hundreds of feet high, briefly enveloping his figure, bringing a strange sense of beauty of rebirth in blood. However, this brief stop was only a moment.

As the blood wave spread out, Xiao Ling became like a long-gathering meteor. His figure suddenly turned into a bright and sharp stream of light. With a resolute momentum, he plunged headfirst into the dark space crack!
At the same moment when Xiao Ling's figure was completely swallowed by the space crack, the crack that tore the void, like a film that had lost its support, began to shrink and close rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye.

The black edges squeezed inward rapidly, making a slight and heart-pounding "crackling" sound, as if to erase everything that had just happened.

But within a few breaths, the crack completely disappeared, as if it was just an illusion, and the place returned to its previous silence, leaving only the bottomless sea of ​​blood below, still surging and boiling uncontrollably.

……

At the same time, outside the independent space used to store the corpse of the Sky Demon Phoenix, the situation was taking a turn for the worse.

The statue of the Heavenly Demon Phoenix that originally stood in the center of the altar has now almost completely collapsed, no longer having its former majesty and integrity.

The broken fragments were crumbling, barely able to piece together the rough outline of what they were before, but the shaky posture seemed as if it would completely fall apart at any time and turn into dust.

An indescribable shock force originating from the core is continuously escaping from the inside of the statue, impacting the foundation of the altar, causing the entire space to tremble slightly, as if it will completely collapse in the next moment.

On one side of the altar, the spirit of the ancestral stone formed by pure white energy was floating quietly, its eyes fixed on the statue of the Heavenly Demon Phoenix that was about to collapse completely.

It had previously tried all the means it could think of, whether it was trying to stabilize the statue itself or reinforcing the altar structure, but in the face of the collapsing force originating from the core, it ultimately seemed powerless and at a loss.

At this moment, all it could do was to place all its hopes on Xiao Ling, hoping that he could finish the business at hand as soon as possible, withdraw from that space, and quickly set up the formation to leave.

He must take Xiao Ling and evacuate this dangerous place before the statue completely collapses and the news of its internal seal leaks out.

At this moment, in front of the location of the incomplete statue, the space seemed to be torn apart by an invisible giant hand, and a dark crack appeared out of thin air.

In an instant, a figure jumped out nimbly. It was Xiao Ling who had just rushed back through space jump.

Seeing Xiao Ling return in time, the Ancestral Stone Spirit floating beside him had a look of relief in its eyes, and then nodded slightly, with a hint of imperceptible urgency in its tone:

"Finally I got out. I'm glad there was no delay..."

Its words seemed to still carry the nervousness it had just felt when it delivered the message.

As soon as Xiao Ling's feet touched the ground and his mind was not yet completely stable, he immediately sensed something strange about the statue of the Heavenly Demon Phoenix behind him.

He turned around suddenly and saw that the remains of the statue were more precarious than he had imagined, with cracks all over it, as if a gust of wind could blow it away completely.

This scene was exactly the same as the message previously conveyed by the spirit of the ancestral stone, confirming the urgency of the situation.

"Now that all the things have been packed up, we shouldn't stay here for long!" The voice of the ancestral stone spirit rang directly in the depths of Xiao Ling's soul, with an unquestionable urging.

It turned into a soft white light and quickly floated towards Xiao Ling. As it approached, it continued to speak:
"Hurry up and give me the things you prepared earlier. Prepare everything I need! This statue won't last much longer. We can't afford any more delays! Every minute and every second is crucial!"

The urgent and solemn words of the spirit of the ancestral stone made Xiao Ling instantly retract his gaze from the stone statue of the Heavenly Demon Phoenix.

He took a deep breath, suppressed the waves in his heart, nodded solemnly to the ancestral stone spirit that was slowly approaching, and said in a deep voice: "Yan, I'll leave it to you from now on."

In response to Xiao Ling's instructions, the spirit of the ancestral stone simply nodded lightly without saying a word.

However, such a simple action contained an indescribable sense of calmness and trust. It was as if an invisible reassurance had penetrated into the depths of Xiao Ling's mind, calming his originally somewhat chaotic mood involuntarily, and a sense of solid stability quietly permeated him.

Xiao Ling did not delay at all. He gently stroked the storage ring hanging on his fingertips. With a slight thought, a warm jade slip appeared out of thin air in his palm.

This jade slip was none other than the space jade slip that Yao Chen had specially refined for him. Not only was it engraved with an exquisite space-shifting array, it also used the secret technique of the talisman master to seal Yao Chen's extremely condensed full-strength attack.

If Xiao Ling uses his powerful mental strength to drive the power of this seal with all his strength, the power will completely explode, and the power will be far beyond imagination, enough to tear apart the space barrier and become one of the decisive factors for them to escape.

After handing this crucial jade slip to the spirit of the ancestral stone, Xiao Ling took out dozens of eighth-level magic cores from his personal space.

There is a faint energy halo flowing on the surface of these magic cores, and there is a vast and pure energy contained inside. It is the key resource used by the spirit of the ancestral stone to drive the formation.

In fact, if a ninth-order magic core is used, the effect will definitely be more significant and the efficiency will be higher.

However, the preciousness of the ninth-level magic core is no longer comparable to that of the eighth-level magic core, and it is not something that can be consumed at will.

Xiao Ling would rather consume more eighth-level magic cores than use such rare treasures as consumables.

Just as Xiao Ling took out the necessary materials, the spirit of the ancestral stone no longer hesitated, and lightly tapped with its fingertips, outlining in the air.

A huge and complex formation pattern, as if it had life, slowly emerged and extended from the void.

The array patterns are intricate and the light flows unsteadily, sometimes magnificent and golden, sometimes dark and deep, full of mysterious charm. Every line and every node seems to contain some truth of the universe, which appears extremely mysterious.

Xiao Ling looked at it intently. He was not completely unfamiliar with this formation.

As far as he knew, this formation was probably one of the formations created by the top powerful man from the universe, the savior of the Tianxuan Continent, the man known as Fu Zu. The spirit of the ancestral stone also learned this skill from Fu Zu.

Its core function is to absorb and bless objects containing tremendous energy, infusing their energy into an attack, increasing the power and effectiveness of the attack exponentially. It can be called a nearly violent means of breaking through boundaries.

And this was exactly the key method in Xiao Ling's plan, which was to forcibly tear apart the space barrier, leave the Phoenix Mausoleum space, and even directly leave the Sky Demon Phoenix Clan's clan world.
