He, among the Blue People of the Divine Continent, is a true water attribute being.

However, these Blue People who invaded the Lihuo Realm are merely cloaked in the flames of Myriad Water Streams. subtex./subtex

That’s why they fear water flow.

If it were truly Myriad Water Streams, they would probably enjoy the water.

The two walked through the Phoenix Ancient City.

Along a secluded path, staying near the cooler areas, they admired the aura of the ancient architecture.

After walking a distance.

Suddenly the earth began to tremble, the sound of “boom boom boom” seemed to echo from beneath the ground.

As if something was awakening.

Xu Zimei and his companion stopped in their tracks, turning to discern the direction of the sound.

"Can you guess what it is?” Xu Zimei asked with a smile.

"I can sense a very strong plant aura,” Sage Zixia replied.

"It’s an ancient tree born of the Land of Extreme Yin,” Xu Zimei smiled.

He remembered the words of that man from the plum blossom forest.

Of course, if the other party hadn’t deceived him.

The two followed the sound, quickly heading towards the ancient tree.

They passed through several dark alleys, arriving at the forefront of the Phoenix Ancient City.

The architectural style of the entire ancient city resembled a phoenix.

A huge head at the front, wings on either side, and a tail.

And a massive body.

The two walked through the water of the Phoenix’s body, standing atop the Phoenix’s head.

Looking straight ahead, there stood a towering tree reaching towards the heavens.

The tree soared skyward, grand and magnificent, with no end in sight.

This tree has no trunk.

There are only entangled branches, intertwined with each other.

Countless entwined branches formed this tree.

Xu Zimei and Sage Zixia both looked up.

Because above this tree, several figures stood.

This was a group of people entirely shrouded in black robes.

A rough glance showed a dozen people.

Among them, four were at the Great Saint level, while the others were all Great Emperors.

Although in front of a Great Saint, a Great Emperor seemed somewhat lacking.

Yet these Great Emperors did not intend to join the battle.

Each suppressed one direction, using their life force to sustain a square portal.

This square portal absorbed their life force, radiating an even stronger sealing power.

Xu Zimei and his companion could see it at a glance.

The suppression of this void and the sealing of the entire ancient city was due to this square portal.

However, even though the square portal was powerful, the cost of using it was also severe.

It was actually supported by the life force of several Great Emperors.

This scene was truly shocking.

But it wasn’t about that; the main focus was on the four Great Saints standing in front.

Their powerful aura overshadowed everything.

Looking at Xu Zimei, the black-robed person standing at the front chuckled lightly and said, “Welcome to the Phoenix Ancient City, your burial ground.”

"The ancient tree obtained, born in the Land of Extreme Yin.

It appears you killed your senior brother,” Xu Zimei said.

"No need to hide behind that black robe.

It’s rather cowardly.

There’s no one else here, when did the people of the Holy Court become so timid.”

"Senior brother, ever since I joined the Holy Court, I no longer have parents, no master, nor senior brother.

The so-called Seven Emotions and Six Desires are merely thorns on my path.”

The black-robed man said blandly.

"He refused to agree to my terms, dared to oppose the Holy Court, and this is his end.”

"But you are right, here, I have no need to hide my identity.”

As the black-robed man’s voice fell, he promptly removed his black robe.

Revealing his true form.

It was an old man, resembling a dead tree.

The skin on his body had all withered.

The surface blood vessels were clearly visible.

With numerous spots on his body, like the marks of a dying person.

The old man’s appearance was frightening, with only two large yellow teeth left in his mouth.

Emaciated like a bag of bones.

Upon seeing the old man, Xu Zimei frowned slightly.

He said, “You look older than your master.”

"What does a shell matter,” the old man said faintly.

"It seems he told you everything.”

"Sort of,” Xu Zimei replied calmly.

"He wouldn’t expect you to clean house, would he,” the old man laughed.

"You can’t even protect yourself now.”

"It seems you don’t know my identity,” Xu Zimei replied.

His identity as the Demon Lord was no secret to the Holy Court.

So when dealing with him, the Holy Court was always exceedingly cautious.

With ceaseless planning and attempts to kill him.

And like the old man, it was more like an unintentional encounter, not a Holy Court plot.

"You must be quite something, or is your background significant?” the old man sneered.

"Forget it, if you don’t know, there’s no need for you to know,” Xu Zimei said.

"I don’t need to know the name of a dead man,” the old man waved.

"By the way, what about those Water Beasts?

And Myriad Water Streams?” Xu Zimei asked.

"Why are there only you from the Holy Court here?”

"They’re not here; we specifically came to deal with you,” the old man snorted coldly.

The figures of the four Great Saints each suppressed a direction.

At this time, they were to prevent Xu Zimei and others from escaping.

"Do you still recognize this?” Xu Zimei took out the Extreme Yang Bell and asked.

Seeing the object, the old man’s gaze narrowed slightly.

He said, “That person truly trusts you, even giving you this.

Looks like he thinks highly of you, intending to use you to kill me.”

Xu Zimei remained silent, slowly shaking the bell in his hand.

The sound of “ding ding” echoed.

This Extreme Yang Bell was not just a sound; it contained potent Extreme Yang power.

As if a sun was rising in the sky.

If you looked closely, you’d discover it wasn’t a sun at all.

But rather, the flames summoned by the Extreme Yang Bell.

This flame had no offensive power to others, but for the old man, it seemed tailored to counter him.

The powerful flame invisibly burned the old man’s body.

The towering tree began to ignite.

Almost instantly, raging flames engulfed the entire tree.

"What an unexpectedly useful gift,” Xu Zimei exclaimed.

Even as his body burned, the old man was not the least bit worried.

Instead, he laughed heartily.

"The old fool is already muddled, still using old methods to punish me in this day and age.

I’ll tell you the truth, I’m no longer afraid of this thing.”

With the old man’s laughter, his tree body formed a thick layer of ice.

The flames could no longer burn.

"Ever since the Holy Ancestor agreed to my request, I’ve gained absolute power.

Now, I have an Undying Body,” the old man boasted.

"Immortal?” Xu Zimei shook his head, chuckling.

He replied, “Even the Holy Ancestor himself can’t be immortal.

Could he possibly bestow it upon you?”
