Some sweat appeared on Chu Yuan's forehead. The veins on his forehead were throbbing. He had not expected the Peacock Beast King to be so ferocious. He had fought with a few of the Fire Domain's Beast Kings before. However, even the Dragon Beast King was a far cry from this Peacock Beast King.
"All of you, lend me a hand." Chu Yuan, who had been calm all this while, could not help but speak up.
The other four black-robed men looked at each other. Their eyes were filled with shock. They knew very well how powerful Lord Chu Yuan was. He also had a rare treasure on him. Yet, under such circumstances, he was still no match for the Peacock Beast King.
The Peacock Beast King had almost reached the limits of what ancient martial art practitioners could understand. It was very close to the legendary Devil Clan.
The four Martial Arts Grandmasters did not dare to hesitate. With a flick of their wrists, spiritual stones appeared in their hands. In the next moment, the spiritual stones disappeared and turned into spiritual power. Then, they turned into four white dragons and entered the huge stone plate.
With the injection of a large amount of spiritual power, the stone plate suddenly shined brightly. It changed its previous defensive state and fiercely shook, bouncing back the flaming phoenix. Then, it flew up and fiercely collided with the flaming phoenix.
There was a loud bang.
The light on the flaming phoenix's body immediately dimmed by thirty percent, and its form also became much smaller.
The stone plate took advantage of this opportunity to chase after the phoenix. It smashed into it again, and the phoenix immediately shrank to half its original size. Its radiance dimmed, and it let out a sorrowful cry.
"You evil creature, do you really think you're so great?"
Chu Yuan coldly snorted, and a large amount of spiritual power surged out of his body. The huge stone plate shone brightly again, and for the third time, it fiercely smashed into the flaming phoenix in midair.
Finally, the flaming phoenix couldn't bear the weight anymore and suddenly exploded, turning into a ball of flames that gradually dissipated in the air.
Puchi!
Even the powerful Peacock Beast King spat out some blood at that moment. Its Essence, Qi, and spirit immediately withered. The seven Demonic Spiritual Treasures flew out from the scattered flames. At that moment, the light had already dimmed. It had transformed into seven fiery shadows and returned to the Peacock Beast King's side.
The Peacock Beast King had already been injured when it had fought with the seven human Martial Arts Grandmasters. Now, it was even more injured. Although there were only five black-robed men, there were only five of them. However, their combat abilities seemed to be much stronger than those seven Martial Arts Grandmasters.
In the distance, Mo Wen's pupils constricted as he stared intently at the leader of the black-robed men. This was because he discovered that when the black-robed man activated the magic treasure, he actually did not convert the spirit stones into spiritual energy. Instead, he directly released spiritual energy from his body and injected it into the magic treasure.
Immortal Cultivators!
A thought flashed through Mo Wen's mind that made him nervous. If he had guessed correctly, the man in the black robe should be the legendary Immortal Cultivator. He had seen many immortal cultivators in the other world, so his intuition was not wrong.
He did not expect that there would be Immortal Cultivators appearing on this battlefield. Could it be that the news of the birth of the Spiritual Fire had already attracted the attention of Immortal Cultivators?
The only thing that made him rejoice was that the cultivator's cultivation was not too high. It was roughly equivalent to the human Martial Arts Grandmaster realm. There was still a considerable gap between it and those Primordial Soul realm immortal cultivators who had reached the next level. If it was a Primordial Soul realm Immortal Cultivator, then there was no need to continue fighting. Almost no one would be a match for a Primordial Soul realm Immortal Cultivator.
Among immortal cultivators, there were a few stages below the Primordial Soul realm, which were very similar to martial artists.
Among immortal cultivators, the realm below the Primordial Soul realm was the Golden Elixir realm.
It seemed to be the same as martial artists. But, in reality, it was fundamentally different. Martial artists condensed their Inner Qi into a core, but immortal cultivators condensed their spiritual power into a core. In other words, the Golden Elixir that an immortal cultivator condensed was the true Golden Elixir.
The Golden Elixir realm of the ancient martial art practitioners was just a stage that imitated the Immortal Cultivator's method of condensing the core. In ancient times, the highest realm among the ancient martial art practitioners was the Embryonic Breathing realm. Later on, they imitated some of the Immortal Cultivator's practice methods, and only then did the Golden Elixir realm appear.
The Golden Elixir realm of the immortal cultivators was definitely not to be underestimated. In a one-on-one situation, it would definitely be far more powerful than an ancient martial art practitioner.
"You few, what are you waiting for? Attack together and kill this evil beast. When the time comes, the doors of the Fighting Spirit Tower will be open for you."
Chu Yuan looked coldly at the seven human Martial Arts Grandmasters who had stopped fighting. The Peacock Beast King's power had exceeded his expectations. Even though it was currently seriously injured, he was still unwilling to face such a mythical beast. It was because he knew that once such a monstrous beast fought to the death, it would pay the price in blood.
Only by combining all their battle power could they perhaps be able to suppress this mythical beast and not even give it a chance to fight to the death.
"If you had joined forces with us earlier, there would not have been so much trouble."
"You can attack, but I hope that you do not play any tricks. Kill this mythical beast and anyone can enter the Fighting Spirit Tower. Otherwise, don't even think about having an easy time."
…
The seven Martial Arts Grandmasters looked at each other. They agreed with the black-robed man's suggestion. With the power they had gathered, as long as the humans did not play any tricks, killing the Peacock Beast King would not be a difficult task.
In an instant, the seven human Martial Arts Grandmasters once again surrounded the Peacock Beast King. On the other side, the five black-robed men no longer attempted to enter the Fighting Spirit Tower. Instead, they slowly surrounded the Peacock Beast King from the other side.
"Of course, I will kill this evil beast with my own hands," Chu Yuan said sinisterly.
There was a long howl!
The Peacock Beast King's voice was full of grief and indignation. The next moment, it spread its wings and disappeared from its original spot. Then, in a strange arc, it passed through the crowd's encirclement. With a few flashes, it entered the Fighting Spirit Tower.
The dignified Peacock Beast King of the Fire Domain had actually chosen to escape into the Fighting Spirit Tower.
The few human ancient martial art practitioners had not expected that the Peacock Beast King would leave so decisively. However, since it wanted to escape, there was almost no one there who could stop it.
"That evil beast is smart. It knows that if it continues to stay, only death awaits it," a human ancient martial art practitioner dressed in black said lightly.
He was the Huajian Sect Sect Grand Elder. Just now, an elder at the pinnacle of the Golden Elixir realm from the Huajian Sect had attempted to enter the tower. In the end, he had died at the hands of the Peacock Beast King. This caused him to feel hatred towards the Peacock Beast King. The death of an elder at the pinnacle of the Golden Elixir realm was a great loss.
"So even an animal knows how to adapt to circumstances."
Chu Yuan snorted softly and did not say anything more. A black light surged from his body and enveloped the four black-robed men beside him. The next moment, they had already escaped hundreds of meters away. In the blink of an eye, they had entered the Fighting Spirit Tower and disappeared in a flash.
On the other side, the human ancient martial art practitioners naturally would not miss this opportunity. One by one, they entered the Fighting Spirit Tower. Without the Peacock Beast King blocking them, they were naturally not in any danger. The ancient martial art practitioners who had been watching from afar also flew up one by one. In the time it took for a few breaths, they had entered the Fighting Spirit Tower.
Mo Wen was not in a hurry. He had a contemplative look on his face. After thinking for a while, he arrived in front of the Fighting Spirit Tower and walked in through the only main door.
Just now, he had more or less seen some clues from the black-robed men.
The Ghost Lair!
He had actually encountered members of the Ghost Lair again. The bodies of the Heretic ancient martial art practitioners had an aura that was familiar to him. Before this, he had not been able to recall it for a moment. However, after a while, he figured it out.
Among all the factions that he knew, other than the mysterious Heretic force of the Ghost Lair, which other faction could have such a lineup? They had even sent immortal cultivators. Although he did not know why the members of the Ghost Lair were interested in the spiritual fire, he knew that the road to obtaining the spiritual fire would most likely be even more difficult.
After the Peacock Beast King let out a long roar, all the Beast Kings in the Fire Domain seemed to have received a signal at the same time. One by one, they abandoned the human ancient martial art practitioners and ignored them. Instead, they all turned and headed in the direction of the Fighting Spirit Tower. Then, one by one, they all entered the Fighting Spirit Tower.
This change stunned some of the ancient martial art practitioners who were still in the square. They did not understand the meaning of the Beast Kings' actions.
However, it was naturally a good thing that the Beast Kings were no longer blocking them. Hence, one by one, the human ancient martial art practitioners easily arrived in front of the Fighting Spirit Tower. One by one, they entered the tower.
There was a flash of light. Mo Wen felt as though he had walked into an unknown space and time.
He had always known that there was a universe within the Fighting Spirit Tower. Otherwise, it would not have been so difficult to build. The inside was equivalent to a small world. It was a space division technique that only the Mighty Immortal Cultivators could achieve.
As such, he did not panic at all. He waited quietly. The surrounding space power was very stable. Reality proved that even though it had been abandoned for thousands of years, this Fighting Spirit Tower was still operating very steadily.
After an unknown amount of time, a flash of light finally appeared in front of him.
Mo Wen discovered that he was standing in the sky. Looking into the distance, white clouds rolled in endlessly. It was like the legendary Heavenly Court.
Beneath his feet was a very large black stone altar. There were all sorts of mysterious runes carved on the altar. They were ancient and complicated.
He glanced around. Other than the white clouds, there was almost nothing else.
"What is this place?"
A glint of doubt flashed in Mo Wen's mind. He had never come into contact with the Fighting Spirit Tower before. Hence, he did not know what was inside the Fighting Spirit Tower and what he would encounter.
Suddenly, he discovered that the three tail feathers in his body were vibrating gently. There seemed to be an indescribable joy. Even Mo Wen could sense the Seven Star Heavenly Fire Fan's excitement.
It seemed that this Fighting Spirit Tower had some connection with the Seven Star Heavenly Fire Fan's tail feathers in his body.
"Could it be that this Fighting Spirit Tower was built by the Inferno Star Lord?"
Mo Wen immediately thought of this possibility. If the ancient city belonged to the Inferno Star Lord, then the Fighting Spirit Tower was very likely also related to the Inferno Star Lord.
Mo Wen did not have time to think about it. Not far in front of him, a beam of light lit up. Then, a figure appeared in front of him.
Then, there were flashes of light from time to time. One figure after another appeared. It was the human ancient martial art practitioners who had come to search for the spiritual fire.
In a short while, there were more than a hundred humans on the altar. They had come from various sects in the various large Inner worlds, and all of them were top strong practitioners.
Other than these ancient martial art practitioners, Mo Wen also discovered that a few huge monstrous beasts gradually appeared in a place that was further away. He recognized these monstrous beasts. They were the Fire Domain's Beast Kings. The Peacock Beast King was among them. (To be continued.)
