Yang Chen''s movement was swift and secretive. He bypassed a lot of people with his bizarre movement technique that made him look like a me shadow lurking around the dark corners from ce to ce.


    Furthermore, it allowed him to avoid the guards'' Spiritual Sense like a breeze. If Yun Lintian saw this scene, he would feel this technique had a simr characteristic to his favorite movement technique, the Shadow Step.


    He continued to move forward until he reached the main hall, which was heavily guarded by a hidden group of experts from the Divine Phoenix Pce.


    Nevertheless, Yang Chen didn''t seem to care about it as he was confident in his movement technique. He scanned the ce briefly and found the direction of the Divine Phoenix Ancestral Land. Without thinking further, his figure turned into a me shadow lurking in that direction.


    However, what he didn''t know was several pairs of eyes were staring at him at that moment. The owners of these eyes had long noticed his arrival, but before they could take action, the Divine Phoenix''s voice suddenly resounded in their minds, telling them to let him.


    Since it was the Divine Phoenix''s order herself, they didn''t dare to disobey and could only watch as Yang Chen lurked deeper into their pce.


    Soon, Yang Chen arrived at the ancient gate of the ancestralnd. To his surprise, there was no guard in this ce. Perhaps it was because this ce was a restricted zone. No one was allowed to approach here.


    Naturally, Yang Chen wasn''t stupid enough to think that there was truly no one around.


    However, before he could do anything, an ancient voice suddenly resounded as the gate slowly opened. "Since you are here,e in."


    Yang Chen''s pupils shrank instantly, and he wanted to escape. Unfortunately, his entire body was suddenly bounded by an irresistible force, and he was dragged into the gate before arriving in front of the Divine Phoenix Mother Tree.


    Yang Chen recovered from the initial shock fast and stared at the Mother Tree coldly. "Since you know who I am, yet you actually dare to bring me in? Looks like the residual soul of the Divine Phoenix here is too na?ve."


    Swoosh—


    The space above the Divine Tree suddenly distorted. Immediately after, the two narrow lines of golden luminance slowly opened, revealing a pair of iparably gigantic golden eyes looking down upon Yang Chen.


    "That should be my words. A mere Fire Devil like you actually dare toe here? Heh." The Divine Phoenix said disdainfully.


    At the same time, the surrounding space around Yang Chen was solidified, and the pressure radiated from the Divine Mother Tree immediately pressed Yang Chen onto his knees.


    Yang Chen''s expression changed drastically. He raised his head in difficulty to look at the Divine Tree and uttered. "You… are the True Phoenix!"


    "Who''s na?ve now?" The Divine Phoenix sneered.


    Yang Chen''s face underneath the wooden mask turned ashen upon hearing this. ording to the information he meticulously gathered, the Divine Phoenix Mother Tree here wasn''t the True Phoenix''s, and it was on the verge ofpletely withering.


    Who would have thought that everything was nothing but a rumor the Divine Phoenix Pce deliberately revealed?


    "It seems the little boy you took possession of has a True Fire Spirit body. No wonder you choose him." The Divine Phoenix seemed to see through everything inside Yang Chen''s body.


    "I''m curious. Why don''t you devour his soul entirely? Don''t tell me you are keeping it as a life-saving card?" She said further.


    The more she spoke, the uglier Yang Chen''s face became. This time, he was deceived by his own intelligence and blind confidence.


    He took a deep breath and said in a deep voice. "Do you think you have already won?"


    "Oh?" The Divine Phoenix was curious. "Show me what you got."


    As she spoke, she retracted the suppression and let Yang Chen go.


    "You asked for it!" Yang Chen''s face turned hideous, and his aura abruptly burst out.


    A pair of fiery wings resembled a devil''s wings appeared behind him, and his aura rose sharply, as well as his profound strength. From the first-level of the Saint Profound Realm to the peak of the Divine Ascending Tribtion Realm in one fell swoop.


    Rumble—


    The entire Divine Phoenix Pce shook violently as a huge me cluster suddenly shot out of the Ancestral Land. This scene made all the secret guards worry, but none of them dared to step forward without the Divine Phoenix''s order.


    At this moment, Yang Chen seemed to transform into a hideous fire devil as his entire body was covered in a dark me that burned everything around him.


    The pair of devilish eyes stared at the Divine Phoenix above, and he said in a hoarse voice. "Die!"


    BOOM!


    With a huge rumble, a field of ck-colored firelight surged up through the roof of the cave toward the sky, burning the sky ck, and it could even be seen a hundred kilometers away.


    The mes crazily spread, instantly engulfing everything around it, making the guards outside anxiously activate the protective formations.


    The capsizing ck me sea overwhelmingly engulfed the Divine Phoenix Mother Tree under Yang Chen''s hideous gaze. This was his ultimate technique, thest resort card. He believed that even the True Phoenix herself might not be able to resist it. And even if she did, she would be injured to arge extent.


    As Yang Chen was thinking about absorbing the Divine Phoenix me, a cold female voice that belonged to the Divine Phoenix rang out, shattering his fantasy directly.


    "That''s it? And here I thought you have something."


    As her voice fell, the ck-colored me sea abruptly stopped moving. After that, it suddenly reversed in direction and was violently pushed back toward Yang Chen.


    Scree—


    At the same time, a gigantic Divine Phoenix flew out of the Ancestral Land toward the sky, followed by a majestic cry that reverberated throughout the Divine Phoenix City and the surroundings.


    The Divine Phoenix pped its wings, cutting through the dark me sea and turning it into the scarlet-colored Phoenix me.


    This scene immediately caused uproars among the Divine Phoenix Pce''s disciples themselves and the people on the Southern Continent… Obviously, the rumor about the Divine Phoenix''s downfall was fake!
