After preparing everything, Alyssa guided the three peerless masters at the Divine Stage and eight
masters at the Supernal Stage to fake attack the flame altar. Soon after, the six treasure hunting teams
stealthily approached the flame altar from various directions.
However, when Alyssa and her team were only a few inches away from the flame altar, the Fire
Phoenix Eagle had spotted them. In a flash, it flew out of its nest furiously, shooting up the sky and
soon, landing on the ground.
At that moment, the four masters at the Divine Stage, including Alyssa, gathered their respective spirit-
manipulated beasts at the six-star level to deal with the seven-star Fire Phoenix Eagle. Not long after,
the eight masters at the Supernal Stage with their beasts scattered around and surrounded the Fire
Phoenix Eagle, ready to attack it.
Alyssa and her team did their best to get the attention of the Fire Phoenix Eagle. After being successful
in attracting it, she gestured her hand and ordered her people to withdraw from the fight and lead the
Fire Phoenix Eagle to the tower-shaped buildings on the east side of the flame altar. Now, they had
managed to get the Fire Phoenix Eagle away from the flame altar.
Simultaneously, several princes directed each of their treasure hunting teams to the flame altar. Once
they arrived in the area, they began to attack the enchanted barrier that surrounded the flame altar.
As a result, strong flame waves exploded from it in an instant. But the treasure hunting teams were
prepared in advance and already expected this. Therefore, several Timber spirit manipulators from
each team utilized their own enchanted barriers to resist the counterattack of the enchanted barrier.
In the blink of an eye, both parties were in a stalemate.
Unfortunately for the spirit manipulators, this seven-star Fire Phoenix Eagle was really powerful. In fact,
it was not at a disadvantage at all, despite being attacked by four six-star spirit-manipulated beasts,
four peerless masters at the Divine Stage, and eight masters at the Supernal Stage.
On the other hand, these treasure hunting teams also attacked the enchanted barrier. After bursting out
non-stop severe attacks, the enchanted barrier began to show some signs of damage.
However, the teams seemed to be getting tired, so after a few hours of continuous strikes, these six
teams decided to attack in turns so that other teams could recover their spiritual powers.
At long last, with their persistent efforts, the enchanted barrier around the flame altar finally cracked.
Meanwhile, when the Fire Phoenix Eagle sensed the enchanted barrier's decline, it suddenly became
violent. Soon, its flaming wings spread and shot fire waves that swept around and rushed towards the
altar.
Alyssa saw how angry the Fire Phoenix Eagle was. As a result, she gestured to Lucas and the other
two masters at the Divine Stage.
All at the same time, the four peerless masters attacked this eagle using their own special skills and
powerful martial arts techniques at the Divine Stage. Everyone around could not help but tremble upon
seeing such a frightening scene.
Soon after, four beams of shining spiritual light turned into different stunning and gigantic shapes—
birds, tigers, raging waves, flowers—attacking the Fire Phoenix Eagle from all angles.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Instantly, an extremely strong spiritual power covered the area within hundreds of meters. In fact, even
the eight spirit manipulators at the Supernal Stage who were helping at the side felt shocked upon
sensing this invincible power. At that moment, nobody dared to approach any closer.
Meanwhile, the three masters and Alyssa swarmed around the eagle and trapped it where it stood.
Two hours had passed, and the enchanted barrier's damage was becoming more and more obvious.
As a matter of fact, the flame, which once stood dozens of feet high up the ground, weakened to less
than ten feet.
Upon seeing this, each of the treasure hunting teams, and the peerless masters at the Divine Stage
didn't hold back any longer. At that moment, they went all out with their strength to attack the
enchanted barrier.
When the enchanted barrier was at the brink of being destroyed, two pairs of ice crystal wings suddenly
spread out from the Fire Phoenix Eagle's lair. Soon after, an ice shadow that was as huge as the eagle
swooped down from the lair and rushed towards the flame altar.
However, nobody expected this to happen. It was not until the ice shadow's aura burst out like thunder
on the ground that they finally realized what was happening. But it seemed all too late for them
because, at that moment, the ice shadow had already opened its mouth and spat an extremely violent
cold air along the flame altar. In fact, everything the cold air touched became frozen in an instant.
Before they could even react, some weak spirit manipulators at the Heavenly Stage from the treasure
hunting teams and their spirit-manipulated beasts suddenly became ice sculptures in the blink of an
eye.
At that moment, Rocky, who was standing beside Woods and didn't take part in breaking the enchanted
barrier, immediately fixed his eyes on the ice shadow that emerged unexpectedly. His expression
changed slightly upon observing that the ice shadow looked almost the same as the Fire Phoenix
Eagle. The only difference was that the ice power released from its body was completely different. At
that moment, he came to realize that the two guardian beasts were, in fact, a couple.
As the sudden attack of the Ice Phoenix Eagle caused a lot of damage to the treasure hunting teams,
the treasure hunting teams were immediately drowned in chaos. Moreover, the teams that were
attacked immediately retreated after seeing what the Ice Phoenix Eagle could do. As a result, they
were driven farther and farther away from the flame altar.
Meanwhile, Alyssa and the other people who put their effort and concentration on attacking the Fire
Phoenix Eagle were shocked to see a guardian beast at the seven-star level right in front of them.
What surprised Alyssa and others the most was that after the Ice Phoenix Eagle appeared, the Fire
Phoenix Eagle became more aggressive. The flames all over its body instantly soared, and its attack
was still violent. At this moment, Alyssa and the others realized that one wrong move could send them
to their graves, so they had to do whatever it took them to be careful. In addition, they knew they had to
fight with all their strength, leaving them with no time to help the other treasure hunting teams.
Meanwhile, the Ice Phoenix Eagle had landed on the ground. Although it stopped spitting cold air from
its mouth, its huge figure directly blocked the flame altar, causing several treasure hunting teams not to
get a single step closer.
The guards who had retreated a hundred meters looked at each other as if no one dared to attack it
again.
"Brothers, let's do everything in our power to fight together and hold the guardian beast," Woods said to
the princes at once.
"Woods, if you want to fight, then do it yourself. We don't want to die today." Obviously, Algy was a little
afraid of the power of the Ice Phoenix Eagle. In addition, he didn't want to fight so that he could
preserve his strength and snatch the spiritual treasure.
As soon as Algy finished speaking, it seemed that he had convinced the other princes not to attack the
guardian beast as well.
