C81 Phoenix Seal

Just as the great battle was about to begin, Ye Heng felt his vision blur.

The scenery distorted, and the figures became illusory. The scene suddenly changed, and everything changed greatly.

In the next moment, Ye Heng found himself in the middle of a huge altar.

In the center of the altar, there was a stone statue of a phoenix that was over 30 meters tall.

It was like a miniature version of the huge phoenix from before.

And around the altar, there were countless skeletons piled up.

Even with the erosion of time, the ghastly white bones still retained the terrifying might they had when they were alive.

Ye Heng merely glanced at them a few times before countless illusions extended out, and he almost lost control of his state of mind.

It frightened Ye Heng so much that he quickly retracted his gaze.

Just a few bones made Ye Heng's mind unstable. Then if they were still alive, how powerful would they be?

Ancestor Returning Stage? Transformation? Transformation stage? Could it be. . . The ultimate stage?

That was the rumored highest realm of Strange Beasts.

When a Strange Beast reached the Saint realm, all of them possessed the ability to destroy the heavens and extinguish the earth. They could easily destroy an empire that was tens of thousands of miles wide.

Ye Heng sucked in a breath of cold air, not daring to look at those white skeletons anymore.

Right at this moment, right in front of Ye Heng. . . A strange throbbing sound came from the sculpture of the phoenix, as if it was the sound of a heartbeat.

There was an invisible force attracting Ye Heng, causing him to stare blankly at the sculpture.

He didn't even blink, as if there was a beauty on top of the phoenix statue that could bring disaster to the country.

Ye Heng didn't even notice that he was walking towards the phoenix statue step by step.

There seemed to be a pair of invisible arms pulling Ye Heng towards the phoenix statue bit by bit.

Finally, Ye Heng arrived in front of the phoenix statue. It was a distance that was within reach.

Then, with a dazed look in his eyes, Ye Heng pressed his left hand on the phoenix statue.

"Kacha. . . Kacha. "

Accompanied by a clear cracking sound, the sculpture of the phoenix was covered with cracks that looked like spider webs.

The cracks covered a wider and wider area, eventually covering the entire sculpture.

"Bang. "

With a soft explosion, the sculpture exploded.

However, Ye Heng seemed to be protected by an invisible force. Not a single piece of the stone statue hit him.

Then, Ye Heng felt as if his left hand had caught a small ball of sun. It was unusually warm and comfortable, but at the same time, it also felt a little soft.

Ye Heng came back to his senses and glanced at his left hand.

He saw that his left hand was tightly holding onto a ball that looked like an apple.

In the next moment, the red ball suddenly exploded.

A warm, comfortable, and pure warmth flowed out of the ball. It seeped through Ye Heng's pores and flowed into his limbs, bones, and internal organs.

When the warmth circulated in Ye Heng's body once, it returned to his left hand. It condensed and did not disperse. Finally, it turned into a feather-like tattoo and appeared on his skin.

A slight tingling sensation came from the back of his left palm. At the same time, some strange things appeared in his mind.

However, what was strange was that the tail of the feather tattoo was missing a small part.

Of course, Ye Heng took a quick glance at such a small part of the feather tattoo and automatically ignored it. After all, it could be that the shape of the tattoo was like this.

At this moment, the space that was real and fake began to collapse.

Like the domino that had collapsed, the rhythm of the collapse swept across the entire space with the momentum of a storm.

A sense of weakness and helplessness surged from the bottom of Ye Heng's heart, and then Ye Heng disappeared from this space that was on the verge of collapse.

When Ye Heng's consciousness recovered, he found that he had returned to reality.

At this moment, Ye Heng was lying on the cold ground. The air was filled with the smell of rotting corpses.

The cold air and the strong smell of rotting flesh woke Ye Heng up a little.

Ye Heng struggled to stand up from the ground.

Just as Ye Heng wanted to use his left hand to touch the back of his head, he realized that his left hand was holding something.

Looking closely, it was a stone slab with a phoenix engraved on it.

"This. . . Is not. . . "

This stone slab was obviously very similar to the one Ye Heng had obtained when he obtained the Qiongqi Seal.

However, why did this thing appear here? Could this have something to do with what happened just now?

Ye Heng couldn't help but recall the expert whose face couldn't be seen clearly, the phoenix, Qiong Qi, and the mysterious altar.

With curiosity in his heart, Ye Heng stretched out his right hand, wanting to confirm it.

When his right finger touched the stone slab, the stone slab turned into fine sand and slipped through Ye Heng's finger.

A gust of cold wind blew past, and the gravel formed by the stone slab completely dissipated into the air.

Could it be that what happened just now was an illusion?

Ye Heng was slightly stunned, and he subconsciously glanced at the back of his left hand.

He remembered that when the illusory and real space was about to collapse, he had obtained the Phoenix Seal.

Could it be that it was also fake?

However, what relieved him was that the Phoenix Seal was still there.

Furthermore, a warm current flowed out from the Phoenix Seal and circulated continuously within Ye Heng's body.

It was also because of this warm current that Ye Heng was not eroded by the dense cold surrounding him.

At the same time, Ye Heng suddenly woke up.

Previously, his body was in an extremely bad condition. His entire body was covered with injuries, and most of his life force had been lost.

But now, his body's condition was extremely good, and he didn't seem to have been injured at all.

The dozen or so sword wounds that Mu Zipei had cut out with his sharp sword had also completely healed.

"This. . . Is true?" Ye Heng unconsciously squeezed his palm, and the sound of air exploding came from the side of his finger bones.

Compared to before, his physical strength had at least doubled, and his Yuan energy had also increased by more than five times.

In the next moment, Ye Heng turned his palm into a fist and punched forward.

"Bang!"

A dull sound was heard along with the rolling airwaves.

The seven Yuan energy whirlpools behind Ye Heng's back suddenly expanded. Violent Yuan energy gathered on his right fist, causing the force of the punch to become even more terrifying.

One should know that Ye Heng's punch didn't have a specific target, so the only thing he sent out was a fierce punch.

"Hu!"

The strong punch broke through the air and hit a huge rock about 30 meters away that was as tall as a man.

"Bang. "

The huge rock suddenly exploded and turned into countless pieces of rock that shot out in all directions.

Even Ye Heng himself was shocked by the power of his punch.

And this was only the power of the fist wind.

If it was enhanced by Yuan energy, then it wouldn't be as simple as a few times increase.

Besides, the Martial Arts Realm had also increased from the sixth level of the Origin Vortex to the seventh level of the Origin Vortex. This was a huge increase.

Most importantly, some things had appeared in Ye Heng's mind.

It was information related to Phoenix Seals.

It wasn't like the time when he obtained the Qiong Qi Seal, where he needed to explore everything himself.

This time, the Phoenix Seal had left a message related to its power in Ye Heng's mind.

The Phoenix Seal had three types of power: the power of fire, the power of nirvana, and the power to summon birds.

Only when the three powers combined could it be considered a complete Phoenix Seal.

And now, Ye Heng only possessed the power of nirvana and the power to call for birds.

For some reason, the most important power of fire was missing.

It was very likely that it was related to the incomplete Phoenix Seal.

Ye Heng's body, which was on the brink of death, had been saved by the Phoenix Seal's Nirvana energy. Moreover, his strength had once again increased.

As for the other ability, the Power of Bird Summoning.

Ye Heng could not help but want to give it a try.

However, before that, he still had one more thing to do.

Ye Heng used his mental energy to activate the Qiong Qi Seal, then raised his right hand forward.

A Qiongqi Mark condensed from Yuan energy floated above the palm of his right hand.

Of course, this was not what Ye Heng wanted to do.

As Ye Heng exerted all of his mental energy and Yuan energy, the Qiongqi Mark began to undergo a drastic change.

Just like boiling water, the surface of the Qiongqi Mark began to have uneven fluctuations.

Following that, an extremely intense light burst forth from the surface of the Qiongqi Mark.

At this moment, beads of sweat that were the size of beans trickled down Ye Heng's forehead. His tightly knitted brows kept twitching, and a deep pain hung on his face.

"Ah. . . Ah!"

Following Ye Heng's shout, the Qiongqi Mark burst out with an even more intense light than before.

Then, within the light, a thin layer of membrane that was as thin as a cicada's wing was separated from the Qiongqi Mark.

After the membrane separated from the Qiongqi Mark, it quickly condensed and absorbed Ye Heng's Yuan energy.

In just five to six breaths of time, The thin membrane absorbed more than 50% of Ye Heng's Yuan energy, and it was about to become 60%.

Finally, after spending seventy percent of Yuan energy, that thin membrane finally stopped absorbing Yuan energy as if it was saturated.

After that, under Ye Heng's fervent gaze, the thin film slowly solidified and finally turned into a Qiongqi Mark that was exactly the same as the original body.

"It's done!"

Ye Heng shouted in a low voice in excitement, his eyes filled with joy.

Previously, in that mysterious space, Ye Heng was inspired by the person whose face could not be seen clearly. He understood the method to increase the strength of the Qiong Qi Seal.

One should know that the Qiong Qi Seal was Ye Heng's greatest trump card.

In the past, Ye Heng didn't know that the Qiong Qi Seal could be improved further, thinking that it was its limit.

However, the truth was that he had limited the Qiong Qi Seal's limit.

Now that he knew the method to increase the strength of the Qiongqi Seal, he naturally couldn't wait to try it out.

Even though he had spent seventy percent of the Yuan Power in his body, it was still worth it to be able to condense another Qiong Qi Seal.

However, before the smile on Ye Heng's face could spread, it froze on his face.

It was unknown if it was because of his smile or some other reason.

The Qiongqi Mark that had just been condensed suddenly trembled and jumped back into the original Qiongqi Mark.

This. . .
