Desolate Era: Hatching a Phoenix at the Beginning

While waiting for Little Purple to complete the awakening of its bloodline, Ye Chen didn’t stay still.

After Little Purple finished absorbing the green blood mist, the light on its body gradually dimmed. The glowing Spiritual Energy seemed to have merged into the bead on its head. Little Purple stopped moving and stopped above the altar, falling into a deep sleep.

Ye Chen then shifted his attention elsewhere and observed the entire underground space.

The bones that covered the ground previously were too eye-catching. Now, Ye Chen looked around carefully and realized that the space he was in didn’t seem to be naturally formed.

The entire space was made of ordinary Spirit Stones. There were no entrances or exits other than the tunnel. Not a trace of light from the outside could be seen. Its area was as big as two football fields and was tens of meters high. It was precisely because of this that this place could accommodate so many Overlord Pythons before.

However, something wasın’t right. Ye Chen clearly remembered that he had

only fallen less than ten meters from the ground to the underground palace.

Fan City was a flat land. Where did such a huge underground space come from?

“Did we accidentally enter some Mystic Realm through the hidden key? No, I

don’t see any reminder of entering a Mystic Realm. What exactly is this place?”

Ye Chen made a guess and quickly denied it.

In the end, in order to solve his doubts, he called for Monkey and the Immortal

Phoenix that were guarding the altar, giving them the task of moving the

corpses of the vicious beasts and checking and destroying them one by one. As

for him, he would follow behind and try to find clues from the surroundings.

After a while, a system notification appeared after the skeleton of a vicious

beast was burnt and disappeared in the direction where the two Divine Beasts

were heading

[Reminder: There is an array point 100 meters ahead. Be careful not to destroy

t.

“Sun God Envoy, stop. There’s something ahead. Monkey, be careful too.” Ye

Chen instructed the Divine Beasts

After a while, he did find a Spirit Stone inlaid in a rock in a pile of bones at the

edge of the cave ahead. It was soaked in a small pond. It was only the size of a

fist and was light blue in color. It looked no different from ordinary stones.

When Ye Chen looked at it, the system notification popped up again.

[Reminder: Water Spirit Stone, part of the Water Array

[Hidden prompt message: Water Array Formation Art, inject Spiritual Energy

into high-quality Water Spirit Stones. The array will expand to a fixed space,

able to provide water containing survival energy.J

[Hidden prompt message: You can retrieve the Spirit Stone and the array at the

same time. If you want to destroy the array, you have to extract the injected

Spiritual Energy. The Spirit Stone socket can be used for a warning device.]

It’s only part of the array, which means that there are oth

Spirit Stones.” Ye

Chen stood up and waved his hand to call for the Immortal Phoenix. “Sun God

Envoy, take me around here.”

Standing on the Immortal Phoenix’s back and flying together, Ye Chen used the

system notifications to find all nine Spirit Stones that formed the array. They

were all scattered at the edge of the cave and formmed an oval shape.

Apparently, the entire space was contained in the array.

Ye Chen remembered the distribution of the Spirit Stones in his heart. With the

direction of the altar as the front, there were four more Spirit Stones ahead

and on the right in the front. There was only one Spirit Stone on the left and

two on the right behind him. There were also two on the left beside the exit of

the tunnel. The distance between each group of Spirit Stones was the same.

He had novw memorized how the Spirit Stones form an array. He was just

waiting for the altar to be available.

Not far away, Little Purple’s bloodline awakening seemed to have entered the

final stage. It had just woken up and was twisting and stretching its body. As it

moved, a translucent blood-colored membrane fell from its body and landed

on the altar.

What Little Purple shed was the last mixed bloodline in its body.

Ye Chen noticed that the purple bead on Little Purple’s head, which had already

shed the blood membrane, had already been slightly elongated and was deeply

embedded in its head. The flowing purple light had already been divided and

solidified into a new eye

Little Purple was indeed identical to the Titan Python on the tunnel door right

now. This also meant that the awakening was coming to an end.

“After Little Purple is awakened, we don’t have to find any more treasures. We

can take away the altar by removing all the Spirit Stones on the ground.” After

estimating the time, Ye Chen turned around and said to the few mutated

beasts, “Sun God Envoy and the Idiot will go and get the Spirit Stones later.

Remember not to destroy them. We’ll meet at the tunnel.”

The Kun Peng was originally practicing its new Divine Power with the Godly

Sea Steadying Needle, fixing it in a cormer to test the effect. However, it also

flew up with the Immortal Phoenix at this moment and landed in a narrow

open space with Water Spirit Stones, getting ready to take them down.

The bodies of Monkey and the Godly Sea Steadying Needle immediately shrunk

and they ran to the entrance of the tunnel.

Everyone was waiting for the bloodline awakening to end.

At this moment, the light from the altar weakened and Little Purple slowly

came down from the sky.

Its body didn’t change much but the patterns on its body were clearly much

more complicated. Between the two horns on its head, a large purple eye

emitted a strong pressure. The moment it landed, the snake bones all over the

ground resonated with it and were shaken until they shattered.

Little Purple ran over the bones on the ground and went towards Ye Chen and

his companions.

“Master, I did it! I might have become much stronger!” It returned to Ye Chen’s

hand in its disguise and said excitedly. However, its aura was still a little

unstable. After all, the entire transformation process took a lot of energy.

“It’s a good thing to become stronger. Everyone is happy for you!” Ye Chen

caressed Little Purple and smiled. “Tll buy some meat to roast for you later.

Let’s get out of here first.”

After saying that, Ye Chen quickly walked into the tunnel with the three

mutated beasts.

The Immortal Phoenix and the Kun Peng also started to pick up the Spirit

Stones from the altar. The place where the Spirit Stones were taken away

quickly became transparent. When the two Divine Beasts entered the tunnel,

the vast space just now also became a small ordinary Spirit Stone room.

“Let’s go out from the entrance later.” Ye Chen instructed. “It’s better to use the

Concealment Mirage to hide our auras. Monkey, help me open up the door and

the floor of the Pavilion. If you don’t have enough strength, bring the Godly Sea

Steadying Needle with you and use that combination skill. No matter how

strong the Spirit Stone is, it won’t be able to withstand your hammer!”

He had already considered it. When using the combination skill, Moving

Mountain and Sea, the attack power that these two mutated beasts could

unleash would definitely reach the Million Level. Breaking through the

ordinary Spirit Stone Wall would definitely not be a problem.

However, right at this moment, the tunnel suddenly shook.

“Is it an earthquake?” Little Purple asked in shock

“No, it’s footsteps. There are people and mutated beasts above us! They’ve

surrounded us!” Monkey leaned on the wall with an anxious expression.

“Was the sound underground to loud just now, so we were discovered? Ye

Chen frownmed and immediately put away the Snow Soul Pearl that was used for

lighting. “But no matter how loud it was, we’re in the array. How did the people

of the Li Residence find out?

Suddenly, he saw that other than the light from Little Purple’s body, there was

also a strange red light in the dark.

It was a light blue Spirit Stone that the two Divine Birds had brought back. The

red ight was coming from them.

To be more precise, the red light came from the rock stand connected to the

Spirit Stone behind it, emitting a red light through the Spirit Stone.

The Kun Peng was the first to approach the Spirit Stone to take a look. As the

strongest water-type Divine Beast present, it pondered for a moment and said

to Ye Chen, “Master, someone put the blood of the Spirit Stealing Snake on the

back of the Spirit Stone. We might have been discovered because we moved the

Spirit Stone!
