Chapter 1371 - 1370: Fire Spirit Fruit

Thinking of this, Zhang Bin's face revealed a look of anticipation and excitement.

If the Black Phoenix truly is formed from the soul energy of a True Phoenix, then by capturing it and devouring and refining it, his own soul will undoubtedly grow stronger. It might even surge dramatically.

If it were an ordinary cultivator, even You Jiuxuan and Mo Tunyu, they wouldn't dare to entertain such thoughts.

Such a terrifying Black Phoenix, capable of devouring the Purple Fire Spirit, is not something they could possibly refine.

To not be refined by it is already fortunate.

However, Zhang Bin is not an ordinary cultivator. He received the Uninherited Legacy from the South Pole Immortal Emperor and successfully established his foundation, dividing his dantian into eighty-one sections. Additionally, he acquired the Wood Emperor's Legacy, which is equivalent to obtaining the legacy of Dragon Emperor Long Yu, plus he cultivated the Innate Spiritual Tree, which has already matured.

Thus, he possesses a magical ability. By using the Life-bound Witch Symbol and Heavenly Talisman, alongside the Innate Spiritual Tree, and deploying Swallowing Heaven in One Breath, he can devour and refine high-energy substances.

This was precisely the reason why, last time, Zhang Bin was able to devour and refine Long Yu's two Soul-Annihilating Butterflies.

This strengthened his soul by twice.

A hundred years later, he will face another terrifying battle with Long Yu.

After all, it's a competition of soul energy.

It's essentially a contest for Soul Seizing.

Zhang Bin must achieve victory, as Lei Xia stated, by finding the Intermediate Volume and Lower Volume of the Demon Tactic, cultivating according to the law, quickly enhancing his soul, and also unlocking the secrets of the Sun Handkerchief.

However, finding the Intermediate Volume and Lower Volume of the Demon Tactic is unlikely, as billions of years have passed, and the world has changed drastically.

Even if he manages to find them, he likely won't have ample time to cultivate.

Even if he does have time, he may not achieve significant accomplishments.

After all, this world is the Mundane Realm, lacking superior cultivation resources.

Once the soul reaches a limit and hits a bottleneck, breaking through becomes almost impossible.

Yet, devouring and refining the Black Phoenix could be a shortcut to immense strength.

Although refining might not guarantee victory over the soul energy entity escaping from Long Yu, at the very least, it would bring them closer, wouldn't it?

"I must devour and refine the Black Phoenix!"

Zhang Bin eagerly shouted in his heart.

However, after thoroughly questioning Basketball, his heart sank halfway.

Because the Black Phoenix is too powerful, its eyes can emit black light, easily annihilating the soul of any creature.

It can even unleash incredibly terrifying black flames, burning everything to ashes.

These black flames are far more potent than Purple Fire.

They could be regarded as a kind of terrifying Immortal Flame.

Although they might not rival the purple-black flames scorching Long Yu, they're certainly not far off.

With Zhang Bin's current strength, he lacks the ability to devour and refine the Black Phoenix.

Moreover, upon sight, he must quickly flee.

Otherwise, he might perish at the hands of the Black Phoenix.

Nonetheless, Zhang Bin's eagerness grew even stronger, because if he could devour and refine the Black Phoenix, he might grasp the black flames. During the decisive battle with Long Yu, if he unleashed the black flames abruptly, it might give him a greater chance of winning.

Furthermore, refining the Black Phoenix could significantly enhance his soul.

"Once I become much stronger and cultivate all techniques to the Integration Realm, then I might have the ability to refine the Black Phoenix." Zhang Bin mused in his heart, "For now, I'll flee as far as possible."

He continued to inquire with Basketball about numerous issues regarding this place.

Finally, he understood the dangers of the Phoenix Forbidden Zone.

And he thoroughly realized that even the Purple Fire in the sky isn't considered Fire Spirits.

They're merely the flames nurtured by this world.

They are the food of the Fire Spirits.

Different levels of Fire Spirits consume different types of food.

For instance, Basketball prefers to eat Purple Flames.

But now it has Top-grade Spirit Stones to consume, and can even eat Zhang Bin's Fire Attribute Qi.

Therefore, its appetite for Purple Flames is not as strong.

Zhang Bin wasted no more time, utilizing his Invisibility Ability, he stealthily ventured into the depths of the Phoenix Forbidden Zone.

In the depths of the Phoenix Forbidden Zone, there are many magical Heavenly Earth Elixirs.

Even elixirs that Fire Spirits favor consuming.

As a result, Fire Spirits gather in that region.

Of course, the Black Phoenix also lies dormant in the innermost mountain valley.

Once awakened, it will consume the Fire Spirits.

Given this, You Jiuxuan and Mo Tunyu must have infiltrated there.

To eliminate this great menace or to control their souls, he must advance toward it.

"Whizz, whizz, whizz..."

The further he proceeded, the more densely packed the flames were in the sky.

Their levels were also higher.

At times, he could even spot blue flames.

Numerous flames would suddenly behave erratically, changing their trajectory without any pattern, and their speed increased exponentially.

Although not as fast as the speed of light, they weren't something Zhang Bin, a cultivator, could dodge.

Thus, terrifying flames occasionally struck Zhang Bin.

Fortunately, Zhang Bin raised a Green Protective Shield; otherwise, he might have been reduced to ashes.

Because currently, he only mastered the Green Flames, and hasn't yet grasped more advanced flames.

How could he withstand such terrifying flames?

Along the way, he encountered many precious Heavenly Earth Elixirs, some with medicinal power spanning millions of years.

Despite his joy, Zhang Bin was also a bit worried.

This place is simply a cheat code.

As long as you're strong enough, you can obtain incredibly precious elixirs, indeed rapidly growing stronger.

Especially for You Jiuxuan and Mo Tunyu, they're essentially retraining, their realm is established, but they're lacking the Heavenly Earth Elixirs, missing the rapid accumulation of true Qi, and certainly need special elixirs to refine their physique.

And here, most elixirs are Fire Attribute, capable of refining the body. Of course, they also contain extraordinarily rich nature's spiritual energy, alongside magical medicinal power.

So, to what extent have You Jiuxuan and Mo Tunyu grown strong?

Could they have already restored their previous cultivation level?

"Whizz, whizz, whizz..."

Finally, ahead appeared a range of mountains.

Trees towered sky-high, yet they were peculiar—not all were green, with hues of red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, and purple, emitting a fierce heat.

Remarkably, these trees bore special fruits.

On these fruits, various flames were amalgamating.

Even stranger, at times the fruits spontaneously ignited, turning to ash.

Then a small flame appeared, dancing through the air.

"My goodness, these are incredibly magical Fire Attribute Heavenly and Earthly Spirit Trees. Such trees are Fire Spirit Trees, as valuable as Thunder Spirit Trees. As long as the innate talent isn't lacking, frequently consuming Fire Spirit Fruits can lead to rapid advancements in Fire Attribute Daoist Magic."

Zhang Bin's face was filled with shock, with disbelief.

But he also felt the threat of death.

Although the outer area consists of the lowest-grade Fire Spirit Fruit Trees, all are white. The fruits are white too.

Only in the deepest parts are the purple Fire Spirit Fruits.

Yet, the air in the outer area is densely packed with flames, mostly high-grade flames.

Blue, indigo, purple.

To gather Fire Spirit Fruits would be extraordinarily challenging.
