Invincible Martial King

Looking at the giant tree, Lu Chen was shocked. It took him a long time to regain his senses. He tried his best to remain calm on the surface, but his heart was in turmoil.    

    

"This is a World Tree?"    

    

Lu Chen's eyes narrowed as he recognized the towering giant tree. He suddenly remembered a legend that he had heard in his previous life.    

    

It was an extremely ancient legend that concerned the ancestors of the phoenix race. Everyone knew that a true phoenix would build its own phoenix nest. But tens of millions of years ago, the founder of the phoenix race had once built a nest in an ancient world's tree. Not only did the phoenix nest ordinary treasures, but it also had an extremely shocking opportunity.    

    

Lu Chen had always thought that this Northern Sea Phoenix Lair might be an ordinary nest forged by a true phoenix, attracting countless people to come snatch it. But now, it was possible that this giant tree in front of him was the legendary World Tree, and the nest within it might be the resting place left behind by the phoenix ancestor thousands of years ago.    

    

After all, if it really was the legendary secret realm, countless of almighty beings would have come out to snatch it. But from the information Yin Zhi and the others gathered, the Phoenix Lair seemed to only appear in the last few hundred years, and it did not seem to be the nest of the legendary phoenix ancestor. However, how could he explain this World Tree in front of him?    

    

According to Lu Chen and Previous Martial Emperor's level of knowledge, they definitely wouldn't be mistaken.    

    

This was a true World Tree. Even though he hadn't personally seen it in his previous life, it was exactly the same as described in the ancient books. Its roots were thicker than mountains, and its branches could cover half of the sky. Its entire body was as bright as fire, and it was the largest tree in the Tianwu Continent.    

    

Moreover, the World Tree had absorbed the energy of the void, and its spirit energy was extremely dense. Ordinary martial artists could benefit greatly from cultivating within it.    

    

Other than Lu Chen, no one else recognized the World Tree, but they were all overjoyed as they looked at the phoenix nest.    

    

"Look, those people are from two large empires and some others."    

    

Ao Hong exclaimed. There were quite a number of people rushing towards the tree in mid-air. The ones leading them were the people from the two empires.    

    

"We can't fall behind."    

    

"Everyone rush forward."    

    

Yin Zhi's gaze turned cold and he rushed out first. With the phoenix nest in front of him, even Third Prince would find it hard to maintain his composure.    

    

After receiving Yin Zhi's order, Ao Hong and the others couldn't wait any longer and rushed towards the giant tree at their fastest speed.    

    

"It doesn't matter if it is the legendary place where the phoenix ancestor died in meditation, I still want to obtain the opportunity inside to become stronger in the shortest amount of time."    

    

Lu Chen took a deep breath and immediately followed up in a blur.    

    

The roots of the giant trees were thicker than mountains. When Lu Chen and the rest rushed out of the phoenix nest, they discovered that they were surrounded by people from Lightless Dynasty, who were staring at them with unfriendly eyes.    

    

"Halt."    

    

"Without the princess and prince's instructions, no one is allowed to enter."    

    

Dozens of tall and big figures blocked Lu Chen and the others.    

    

"What do you mean?"    

    

Yin Zhi frowned and asked.    

    

"The Phoenix's Nest was discovered by our two empires in the first place. Others are not allowed to enter without permission, otherwise, we will kill them without question." The leader said with an expressionless face.    

    

"They want to eat alone." Hearing this, Ao Hong indignantly said. Zhang Hongru and Fann Zhongda also had gloomy expressions. As for Yin Zhi, his eyes narrowed with a cold glint.    

    

They had spent so much effort to arrive here, yet they were stopped by the troops of these two large empires. Clearly, they wanted to monopolize the phoenix nest opportunity.    

    

"You want to stop us? Let's see if you have the ability." He was the prince of Dagan Dynasty, and although his personality was usually gentle, it did not mean that he did not have a temper. If they dared to stop him, it did not matter if he killed them.    

    

"Your Highness, let me handle them."    

    

Lu Chen took a step forward. Although there were a lot of them, their strength was only at the seventh or eighth heaven of the Martial Dao. The strongest among them were only at the Ninth Layer Of Martial Tao Sect Master, so the true elites should have been brought into the Phoenix Lair by the princess and the prince.    

    

"Alright, let's go in first."    

    

Hearing that, Wu Tie nodded his head and led Ao Hong and the rest into the entrance of the Phoenix Nest.    

    

"Stop them."    

    

Seeing this, the people from the two empires wanted to take action, but before they could stop Yin Zhi's group, they were swept away by a terrifying force.    

    

Lu Chen directly threw out a punch and that terrifying force came roaring over like a huge wave. In almost an instant, it had these people in disarray.    

    

Because he didn't want to recklessly kill anyone, Lu Chen showed mercy, and after making sure that these people couldn't stop them for the time being, he disappeared into the Phoenix Nest in a flash.    

    

"Bastard, I can't believe I didn't stop him."    

    

"Send a message to his majesty immediately."    

    

A tall leader shouted in exasperation. Originally, Zheng Yuanqing told them to guard the entrance to prevent others from entering, but in less than an hour, they were allowed to enter. This made him feel a great sense of humiliation.    

    

"This is the Phoenix Nest!"    

    

Just as Lu Chen entered the Phoenix Nest, another group of people rushed over nearby. It was naturally Blood Devil Sect Master Yelv Qi.    

    

"Bastard, stop them!" The guard leader of Night Sun Dynasty could not stop Lu Chen and the others, and was currently furious, how could he let these people continue to rush in?    

    

"You're courting death!"    

    

Yelv Qi sneered. It didn't matter if he was from the two empires. They would just kill him first. Since this was the phoenix nest, not many people knew whether or not he had killed these people.    

    

"Pfft!"    

    

The people from Blood Devil Sect were simple and ruthless. Although they were part of the people left behind by the two great empires, they were not much of a threat in front of Yelv Qi.    

    

Bringing the Blood Devil Sect people, Yelv Qi directly entered the phoenix nest.    

    

After Yelv Qi, Yuan Heng, along with his Heavenly Profound Saint Hall disciples and a few others from other forces appeared at almost the same time, and immediately entered the Phoenix Lair.    

    

The phoenix nest was vast and boundless.    

    

After entering through the entrance, there were seven or eight wide corridors that appeared in front of him. Golden flames flowed on both sides of each corridor, illuminating the area.    

    

Lu Chen didn't move hastily. Carefully sensing the situation on the tunnels, he noticed the fluctuations coming from Yin Zhi and the others.    

    

"There are at least seven or eight of these tunnels. Could they be in different locations?" After hesitating for a moment, Lu Chen did not enter the passageway that left behind the fluctuations of Yin Zhi and the others. Ever since he recognized the World Tree, he increasingly felt that this Phoenix Lair was not ordinary and could very possibly be the secret realm where the legendary Phoenix Ancestor died.    

    

If that was really the case, then not only were there the blood of the true Phoenix and ordinary treasures, there were also unimaginable opportunities. Even the Martial Emperor and Martial Emperors would be tempted by the things that existed within.    

    

Therefore, what Lu Chen needed to do now was to confirm whether or not this Phoenix Nest was the resting place of the Phoenix Ancestor.    

    

While thinking, Lu Chen casually walked into a corridor that no one else had walked through.
