After making all the preparations, Xiao Lin's group of ten set off toward that massive parasol tree that pierced straight into the clouds.
Because they were unsure whether there were other dangers in this place, the group did not dare to fly around recklessly, choosing instead to simply walk on the ground like this. Of course, it was mainly because this surrounding black parasol forest was truly far too eerie!
After all, what kind of normal person's parasol tree would be black?
Naturally, on the way to their destination, the group had not neglected to examine these black parasol trees, yet they discovered absolutely nothing. It was as if these parasol trees were inherently black by nature.
However, this was obviously impossible. Some kind of unexpected event must have occurred to cause this parasol forest to become the way it looked today. Advancing all the way, everyone was on guard against their surroundings.
Yet, what made them feel uneasy was that along the path of their advance, not a single accident occurred!
This statement, upon first hearing it, was clearly contradictory.
But it best reflected the state of mind of everyone at this moment!
Just think about it, they had already clearly confirmed that an unknown demon existed in this place, and there was also a black parasol forest here that looked abnormal at first glance. Then, they passed through here completely safely.
Would you call this normal? It could be said that the greatest abnormality in this was that it was too normal!
It was precisely because of this that Xiao Lin and the others not only failed to relax their guard, but instead, each and every one of them tightened their nerves. To be honest, they would rather have a demon suddenly appear to ambush them at this moment than face such an eerie scene!
Anxious emotions began to breed within everyone's hearts.
This point was something that even Xiao Lin and Ji Li could not avoid.
Even though Ji Li had prepared himself to sacrifice his life to eliminate the demon earlier, at this moment, he still began to panic.
"Everyone calm down, do not be deceived by the eerie scene before your eyes! In this kind of situation, if nothing unexpected happens, the big one is definitely kept for the very end!"
Forcibly suppressing the uneasiness in his heart, Xiao Lin began to comfort everyone.
Although Xiao Lin did not know why that demon had not appeared, everyone had already begun to lose their composure because the pressure was too great, and this was absolutely unacceptable!
Or perhaps, could this be the exact purpose of that demon?
Xiao Lin was not very certain, but he could only explain it this way.
"Phew~, Brother Lin is right, everyone stop scaring yourselves, we are about to arrive at our destination, as long as we see that Ancient Heavenly Phoenix, no matter what plans that unknown demon has, we will have absolutely nothing to fear!"
As the person with the highest cultivation level among the crowd alongside Xiao Lin, Ji Li also suppressed the uneasiness in his heart at this moment to speak up. Of course, his words were not only meant for everyone else to hear but were also a form of self-comfort!
With Xiao Lin and Ji Li speaking up one after another, the other eight formation masters finally calmed down slowly.
After nodding to one another, the group continued forward.
Finally, after a small half-day had passed, they arrived beneath that massive parasol tree that pierced straight into the clouds.
"Let's go up, at this very moment, we have nothing to hesitate about!"
Having reached this point, naturally no one would back down.
Promptly, the group began to slowly fly toward the upper areas.
Everyone's flying speed was not fast.
This massive black parasol tree, at a rough glance, was at least over a thousand meters tall. Moreover, on this parasol tree, there were also dense black leaves. During the process of the group flying upward, they naturally did not want to miss a single corner.
Ultimately, Xiao Lin and the others halted their figures at a height of over eight hundred meters on this massive black parasol tree. It was not that they did not want to continue upward, but rather that here, they saw a figure.
That was a man wearing colorful clothes, with a straight and tall posture, long black hair draped over his shoulders, and a handsome appearance. At this moment, this man was sitting cross-legged all by himself on a branch of this massive black parasol tree.
After seeing this man, Xiao Lin and the others did not dare to act rashly.
After all, who knew whether this guy was Ancient Heavenly Phoenix or the demon?
Cold sweat began to slide down from the foreheads of Xiao Lin and the others. Even though this man currently kept both of his eyes closed and did nothing, the psychological pressure he brought to Xiao Lin and the others was unimaginable.
Finally, after this eerie atmosphere lasted for who knew how long, that man who had been tightly closing both his eyes all along slowly opened his mouth to speak.
"Descendants, you should not have come here!"
Within this voice, there carried a hint of majesty.
At the same time, hearing this man open his mouth, the hearts of Xiao Lin and the others all shuddered.
"Senior Ancient Heavenly Phoenix?"
Xiao Lin spoke up tentatively to ask.
At this moment, everyone including Xiao Lin was exceptionally tense.
"Sigh~, guarding against ten thousand things, I didn't expect someone would still enter this place, in fact, if you hadn't come, in another few years, that demon would have been completely destroyed by me!"
That man said after letting out a sigh.
By this time, this man had also already opened both of his eyes.
Looking at this man's eyes, it made people feel as if a surge of flames was furiously burning!
Meanwhile, it was not difficult to hear from his words that he was indeed that Ancient Heavenly Phoenix rumored to have fallen in this place. The Ancient Heavenly Phoenix, one of the Great Magic Beasts, was on par with the Ancient Void Dragon.
During its peak era, the Ancient Heavenly Phoenix clan was not the slightest bit weaker than the Ancient Void Dragon clan, and there was even a saying that they fed on Ancient Void Dragons!
Similarly, just as the Ancient Void Dragon was naturally close to the power of space, their clan was naturally close to fire!
It could be said that in the aspect of playing with fire, no one could surpass Ancient Heavenly Phoenix. Not only that, within the body of an Ancient Heavenly Phoenix, but a special type of Beast Flame could also be nurtured—Nirvana Holy Flame!
This Nirvana Holy Flame not only possessed powerful destructive force but also possessed a miraculous power of regeneration!
In addition, as its owner's strength advanced, its power would continuously grow stronger!
Especially in the hands of an Ancient Heavenly Phoenix at the Dou Sheng realm, its power could estimatedly be comparable to the Heavenly Flames ranked between six and ten on the Heavenly Flame Ranking.
It was no exaggeration to say that the Nirvana Holy Flame, as a Beast Flame, was absolutely not inferior to a Heavenly Flame. It was even superior compared to the majority of Heavenly Flames!
It was precisely because of this that the Ancient Heavenly Phoenix was able to match the Ancient Void Dragon that excelled in the power of space.
"Great, it really is Senior Heavenly Phoenix!"
After confirming that the person before their eyes was the Ancient Heavenly Phoenix rather than the demon, Zuo He and the other formation masters let out sighs of relief one after another.
"What senior or not senior, my name is Huang Wuji, I am already equivalent to a dead person, right now I am merely relying on the special environment of this place to prolong my panting existence."
This man, who was Huang Wuji, spoke with self-deprecation.
"Senior Huang Wuji, we came here for the sake of eliminating the demon, we hope you can inform us where the demon is at this moment?"
Ji Li also thought of something, and after exchanging a glance with Xiao Lin, suddenly spoke up to ask with incomparable solemnity.
"I know your intention for coming, ever since you came here, every single move of yours has been fully witnessed by my eyes, however, right now there is no need for you to strike. That demon has already been suppressed beneath this earth by me!"
"You should also be curious why the parasol trees here are black, right? That is because I am using this parasol forest to suppress the demon underneath! In another few years of time, that demon will completely turn into ashes. At that time, my mission will also be completed."
Speaking up to this point, a hint of carefree liberation that was about to arrive also appeared on Huang Wuji's face.
However, along with the fall of Huang Wuji's voice, Xiao Lin and Ji Li first furrowed their brows, and then once again exchanged a glance silently.
