"Preceptor Felicia, please tell her the truth. Perhaps the Timber Deity Empire will also lend a hand to
the Magic Phoenix Empire," Rocky scowled.
After thinking for a while, Felicia faced Alyssa and told her about the current situation. Needless to say,
she omitted some of the secrets that were related to the Phoenix Master Clan. All she mentioned was
the matter about the soul of a very powerful demonic beast that was harming the Magic Phoenix
Empire at that moment. In fact, she failed to mention anything about the number one ancient demonic
beast, nor the Demonic Soul Cauldron.
"Are you sure about that? A demonic beast? What kind of demonic beast's soul would be that
powerful?" Alyssa cast her doubts at Felicia's words.
Obviously, Felicia would not tell her the exact truth.
"Your Royal Highness, please, don't ask us too much. You will know when the time is right," Rocky said
to Alyssa.
At once, Alyssa didn't ask any more questions. After all, she believed and trusted Rocky's words.
However, since the situation was urgent, the queen of the Magic Phoenix Empire also asked Alyssa to
send a group of spirit manipulators from the Timber Deity Empire to support them.
Considering the severity of the matter and its potential harm to the Timber Deity Empire, Alyssa
instantly sent a message to her empire to gather and send a group of spirit manipulators.
Two days after, the reinforcements from the Timber Deity Empire safely arrived at the Magic Phoenix
Empire.
Almost at the same time, Erica, who was tasked to lead a group of spirit manipulators to search the
different plains of the Magic Phoenix Empire, sent back some good news. After several days of
relentless searching, they finally found the legendary guardian beast on the Fog Demon Plain.
At that moment, she also sent a message saying that a large number of demonic monsters were
gathering towards the Fog Demon Plain.
"The original soul must have summoned these monsters. I believe that we must take action on this
matter immediately!" Rocky met Felicia's eyes and then looked at the other people in the hall and made
a suggestion.
"I'm afraid that we can't deal with those monsters and the original soul using our current strength. I
think we'd better inform the Phoenix Master Clan as soon as possible before doing anything rash."
Felicia thought for a while before she spoke.
"Even if we inform the Phoenix Master Clan, it will take at least a day for them to arrive. But according
to the demonic monsters' rate of gathering, I'm afraid that they will be able to complete their gathering
in the Fog Demon Plain in less than a day. It seems that we don't have much time. Therefore, the best
thing we could do is to prevent them from gathering into the original soul before the Phoenix Master
Clan's reinforcements arrive..." Rocky said with knitted brows.
At that moment, the people in the hall all looked at each other as if trying to meet a common decision.
After a while, they all nodded in agreement.
"Basil is right. We can't afford to hesitate at all on this matter. We'd better hurry up to the Fog Demon
Plain and see what's going on at once," advised Marcia.
"Well, Prince Crimson, General Marcia, and Princess Alyssa, please take your people to the Fog
Demon Plain as soon as possible. After I inform the Phoenix Master Clan, I will assemble the elites of
the Magic Phoenix Empire and the support team of the Phoenix Master Clan to rush over," Felicia
instructed Rocky and the others.
Soon after, Rocky and the others left, leading the spirit manipulator teams of the Holy Dragon Empire
and the Timber Deity Empire to the Fog Demon Plain.
Not long after, they arrived at the plain. The moment they arrived, Rocky and the others were at a loss
for words upon seeing the scene in front of them. An area with a radius of approximately thousands of
meters around the plain was completely covered with thick demonic fog. Everything was as dark as the
sunless night, with the wind whistling in their ears in an eerie manner.
Meanwhile, in the center of the plain, a huge beast shadow stood there. It had blood-red eyes, and its
body was filled with a demonic aura. It did not resemble a legendary guardian beast but more looked
like a terrible demonic monster.
Needless to say, this huge beast shadow was none other than the legendary guardian beast of the
Phoenix Master Clan, the Ice Phoenix Queen.
Originally, the Ice Phoenix Queen was supposed to be transparent, just like ice. However, it became
extremely bizarre because of the unprecedented change, which made it emit black and purple light. Of
course, the most astonishing thing about it was the aura it emitted, which was much stronger than the
original aura of a legendary guardian beast. Moreover, this was only the aura of the original soul of the
most powerful ancient demonic beast attached to its body, and it was not yet complete at that state.
Once the original soul absorbed all the remnant souls and after fusing and forming a complete soul, the
most powerful ancient demonic beast would be reborn with the help of the Ice Phoenix Queen's body.
Moreover, the once most powerful ancient demonic beast would appear in the world again. Once that
happened, there would surely be unimaginable consequences that every creature would suffer from.
"Is that the legendary guardian beast?" Alyssa immediately recognized that the Ice Phoenix Queen was
a legendary guardian beast of the spiritual race, so she immediately turned to look at Rocky for
confirmation.
As a response, he nodded and began to explain the whole scenario to Alyssa in the simplest way he
could.
"So, you mean to say that the most powerful ancient demonic beast has to be reborn with the help of
the legendary guardian beast of the Phoenix Master Clan? What on earth am I looking at?" Alyssa
widened her eyes out of sheer shock.
"I'll explain it in detail later." Without a doubt, Rocky knew that the Ice Phoenix Queen had already been
affected by the original soul of the most powerful ancient demonic beast, and the previous mutation
was still going on.
"Oh, here you are!" At that moment, Erica and several other spirit manipulators, who had located the
legendary guardian beast, immediately joined them.
"So, how's it going?" Rocky asked.
"We found that a large number of demonic monsters have appeared in the east and south. If our
calculation is correct, they will be here in less than an hour." Erica explained the situation at once.
"Look over there. I think some monsters have already reached this area." At the time, Shirley pointed
towards a group of monsters that suddenly appear from the west of their location. About a dozen of
these monsters were gathering at a very fast speed towards the legendary guardian beast that had
been controlled by the ancient demonic beast's soul.
"I have to take my people there. What we need now is to buy more time. Basil, stay here and be in
charge of the overall situation. Your commanding ability will come in handy again..." Alyssa, who had
known the truth, also realized that the situation was getting more critical by the second. If the ancient
demonic beast was successfully reborn, the Timber Deity Empire would probably be involved, so she
urgently told Rocky about her arrangement.
Hearing Alyssa's orders, Rocky nodded immediately and accepted his assignment.
Soon after, Alyssa led her group of spirit manipulators to the monsters that appeared in the west to stop
them from approaching.
Unfortunately, at that moment, a large number of monsters appeared in two different directions from the
south and the east of the Fog Demon Plain, which divided their team's attention.
At the same time, Marcia led the remaining spirit manipulators along with the other women dispersed
and guarded each side of the plain.
In total, there were already more than sixty spirit manipulators from two empires trying their best to stop
the monsters from invading the plain, including Alyssa and Marcia, who were at the spiritual master
level, as well as their respective legendary guardian beasts, Sabina, the other two women, some
peerless masters at the Divine Stage, and some masters at the Supernal Stage. One would surely
gasp in astonishment after seeing how powerful the team was.
However, more and more monsters began to arrive, with at least a few hundred of them traveling to the
plain one after the other. They had to destroy these monsters completely. Otherwise, even their broken
bodies would be able to climb towards the Ice Phoenix Queen that stood in the center and was
constantly mutating. Therefore, it appeared that it was impossible to completely block the arrival of
those monsters.
After a short while, some monsters that had managed to escape the attacks of the team got close to
the legendary guardian beast. However, after getting close, they exploded without warning, and the
broken souls, which were similar to rays of light, immediately flew up and fused into the body of the Ice
Phoenix Queen. Soon after, its aura began to slowly rise.
Gradually, an even stronger evil aura was shrouding the entire area.
