Dark Phoenix Prince

However, even though he knew the place was so strange, Alu really didn't have a clue what was strange.

"Do I need to investigate?" Alu wondered.

If he found nothing in the end, Alu didn't want to waste his time.

"Ah, never mind. I'll do it for a moment. Maybe I can find something."

After saying that, Alu went downstairs again.

Whooss...

Alu flew down at unimaginable speeds. He had already broken through the thousands of clouds. The distance he had traveled was already several times farther than before. However, even now Alu saw no sign of him reaching land. Everything he saw was still countless wisps of clouds.

But he didn't stop. He continued to fly down.

And he only stopped once more when he saw a space crack in front of him.

From within the crack, Alu saw a man coming out.

The way the man came out was almost the same as Alu's when he entered the place.

Merely, that man's cultivation could hardly be considered a Life and Death stage. He had already formed the Yin-Yang Symbol, it's just that, his Yin-Yang Symbol was still not fully formed. Such cultivation is usually referred to as the half step of the Life and Death stage.

This naturally took Alu by surprise. After all, the people who reached the dragon gate had already reached the Life and Death stage at least. But that man.

Feeling curious, Alu approached the man.

When the man looked around, he looked confused, and Alu's sudden appearance surprised him.

"Who are you?" He asked.

When he saw Alu, he started to look scared.

"How did you come to this place?" Alu responded by asking.

"Do you know where this is?"

"I'm asking. Why are you asking back." Alu's expression turned cold as he heard the man not answering his question.

"Erm..." The man immediately shivered when he saw Alu's expression. He quickly answered. "I accidentally came across a spatial vortex. After I entered, I appeared in this place." He explained.

"Oh, I see." Alu nodded after hearing the man's answer.

"Looks like you don't have to go to the dragon gate to reach this place." Alu said to himself.

After that, Alu smiled coldly at the man in front of him.

The man shivered once again when he saw Alu's smile. He suddenly felt an extreme danger that he had never felt in his entire life

"With your strength, it is difficult for you to survive this place." Alu said.

"You." The man wanted to speak but Alu cut his words.

"Because of that, I will help you die easily. In return, I want to use your corpse to try something."

Without waiting for the man to react, Alu then grabbed the man's head. After which, he twisted the man's neck.

Crack...

The man's eyes immediately lost their light the moment his neck was twisted.

"Hmm..."

After the man died, Alu then threw his body down.

When the beasts he had previously killed died, their corpses disappeared immediately after they took out the energy balls.

Now Alu wants to use a human corpse to see the difference.

Whooss...

The man's corpse was thrown downwards very quickly.

In an instant, it disappeared into the cloud.

Alu wanted to follow the man's corpse, but before he made a move, he suddenly felt something fall from the wisp of clouds above him.

When Alu looked up, he was completely shocked because what fell on top of him was actually the corpse of the man he had previously thrown down.

Shua...

The man's corpse only stopped after it arrived in front of him.

"..."

"So like that, no wonder I never made it to the mainland." Alu said when he saw the corpse in front of him.

Alu naturally felt suspicious because he did not reach the mainland after descending hundreds of thousands of kilometers.

"But why is the cloud shape I see always different every time I pass a cloud?" Alu wondered.

"Or was it deliberately created by a holy path to confuse people."

"Shit…" Alu couldn't help but curse as he thought about that.

"Never mind, whatever it is, I won't waste my time anymore."

After saying that, Alu then kicked the corpse in front of him.

After kicking the corpse, he immediately flew towards the direction where the spiritual aura originated.

Whooss...

Now Alu no longer flies down but flies straight ahead.

With Alu's speed, he was able to cross a great distance in a short time.

As Alu flew further and further away, not only did he encounter many beast hordes, but cultivators as well.

Those cultivators also flew in the same direction as Alu.

Previously they might have carried out investigations like Alu before they went to the direction where the spiritual aura originated.

They might have been moving for a while, but because their speed was too slow, they were eventually overtaken by Alu and left far behind.

Of course, the farther Alu went, the more cultivators he met.

Not all of those cultivators had Life and Death stage cultivation, there were many of them who were still at the True Spiritual stage. Those people, obviously they are the same as the man who was killed by Alu.

They entered this place through another portal which was not the dragon gate portal.

If everyone entered this place through the dragon gate portal, their numbers would definitely not be as many as Alu saw. After all, there were still many Cultivators of the Life and Death stage who were unable to reach the dragon gate.

It's just that, unlike Alu who can travel easily, the people he meets are almost all in bad shape. They were attacked by many wild beasts on their way.

All the wild beasts in that place had the cultivation of the Life and Death stage of the third layer. In front of those wild beasts, not to mention True Spiritual stage cultivators, even those at the Life and Death stage were in a bad state.

They were unable to fight back and were only able to escape.

Most of them ended in death.

"Mm..."

Just as Alu flew further away, he suddenly saw three people he knew.

"They're here too." Said Alu.

After saying that, Alu then flew towards the three people he knew.

They were people from the Phoenix clan.

....

The three people from the Phoenix clan consisted of two men and one woman.

Usually the Phoenix clan gave birth to more women. However, since the Zaden era, there have been more men born.

It is not known if there is any secret behind it all. But since Zaden led the Phoenix clan, there have indeed been significant developments.

Their strength continued to increase over time until now they succeeded in establishing a great empire.

By the time Alu saw the three people from the Phoenix clan, those three people were currently surrounded by ten wild beasts with the cultivation of the Life and Death stage third layer.

They surrounded the three people so that they could barely escape.

Although the strength of those ten beasts was not very strong for the third layer of the Life and Death stage, with their cultivations still at the first layer of the Life and Death stage, it was unlikely that they could escape the encirclement of the ten beasts.

Of course, there were quite a number of people around them. But no one dared to come close to help them.

On seeing them, people quickly moved away from there.

In this place where they could only escape, only by taking advantage of others, only then could they continue to live.

Rumble...

As the three people from the Phoenix clan looked increasingly desperate, the sky above them suddenly rumbled. And the rumble this time was really so loud that space itself was made to vibrate.

The people were very surprised when they heard the rumble. Those who wanted to get away from that place couldn't help but look back.

When they looked back, they saw that the clouds above the three Phoenix clan people were suddenly torn apart, and from there, ten black spears one kilometer long suddenly fell towards the ten wild beasts below.

Seeing those ten spears, the people felt as if their hearts had stopped beating.

What made the people even more uncomfortable was, they suddenly felt the air around them become extremely hot right after the ten spears appeared.

"The spears are actually made of fire."

Several people with sharp eyes immediately realized why the air had gotten so hot.

Xiu... Xiu... Xiu...

The spears descended very quickly. They cut through the air, and from their tails, black fireworks blazed upward, sweeping away all the clouds above them. The sky seemed to be burning by their presence.

If a red flame can light a dark night, then a black flame turns a bright day dark.

The people were fascinated by the sight they saw.

But what made them even more enchanted was when the ten spears struck the backs of the ten beasts.

They are like needles piercing cloth.

The enormous beast's body was instantly pierced by the ten spears.

When the spears were right in the middle of the beast's body, they suddenly exploded and spewed out black flames that instantly covered the sun.

Boom...

Under the explosion of black flames, the bodies of those beasts exploded in an instant.

Pieces of meat scattered everywhere.

And all that was left where they were were ten balls of energy which then flew upwards.

Seeing those ten energy balls, everyone's eyes were immediately filled with greed.

After they arrived at the place, they naturally knew what those energy balls were for.

Unfortunately their strength is too weak to obtain it.

They can only see but cannot touch.
