Chapter 384: Dragon Phoenix Origin Fruit

"Xiao Ze, the item on that altar seems to be calling to me," Zi Yan said, her voice filled with curiosity.

"Then answer its call and see what it is," Xiao Ze encouraged.

Zi Yan nodded, her slender legs moving swiftly as she transformed into a streak of light, reaching the top of the altar in an instant. The others followed closely behind.

When Medusa and the others arrived, they saw Zi Yan staring in shock at the center of the altar. Curious, they looked where she was staring and saw a purple-gold stone platform at the altar's center. On this platform was a small tree, barely the thickness of a thumb, yet it twisted and coiled like a mighty dragon.

At the top of this small tree hung a fruit, about the size of a palm, shining with both purple and gold colors. Xiao Yi Xian and the others realized that this must be the treasure Xiao Ze had mentioned. They examined the fruit closely, noting that the golden half twisted and coiled like a miniature Taixu Ancient Dragon, while the purple half resembled a soaring Ancient Heavenly Phoenix.

"I can't believe it! It's the legendary Dragon Phoenix Origin Fruit! No wonder you were so mysterious about it, Xiao Ze. Even if you had told me about this earlier, I might not have believed you," Zi Yan said, her voice filled with disbelief.

The Dragon Phoenix Origin Fruit was a legendary item, said to be formed by the combined life forces of a Taixu Ancient Dragon and an Ancient Heavenly Phoenix, with less than a ten percent chance of successful creation even when the conditions were met.

"The Ancient Heavenly Phoenix is the ancestor of today's Tian Yao Phoenix Clan," Zi Yan explained. Xiao Yi Xian and the others listened in amazement.

"So you're saying that a Taixu Ancient Dragon and an Ancient Heavenly Phoenix existed here?" Xiao Yi Xian asked, peering down from the altar. From the desolate, blood-red plain below, they saw traces of white bones, forming the skeletons of a massive dragon and phoenix, connected head to tail in a perpetual cycle around the altar.

"A Taixu Ancient Dragon and an Ancient Heavenly Phoenix fell here!" Xiao Yi Xian and the others couldn't help but gasp. These two supreme beasts were rare, and finding both in one place was astonishing.

"Indeed, their combined life forces led to the creation of this supreme treasure," Xiao Ze said. "Zi Yan, go ahead and take it."

Zi Yan took a deep breath and approached the center of the altar. She bit her finger, letting her blood cover her hand before reaching out to the Dragon Phoenix Origin Fruit. The moment her bloodstained hand touched the fruit, it burst into radiant purple-gold light, transforming into a liquid that flowed into her hand and merged with her body. A Dragon Phoenix Origin Fruit symbol appeared on her palm.

Seeing the fruit absorbed, Zi Yan finally relaxed. "Thank goodness you knew about this fruit, Xiao Ze. Otherwise, I might have missed out on it!"

"Once you refine it, you'll evolve into a supreme beast with the bloodlines of both the Taixu Ancient Dragon and the Ancient Heavenly Phoenix. You'll reach Dou Saint as easily as drinking water," Xiao Ze said seriously. Zi Yan nodded, knowing the fruit's power.

Xiao Ze continued, "If you need help refining the fruit, come to me. The energy it contains is immense, and absorbing it recklessly could be dangerous."

Zi Yan agreed, trusting Xiao Ze's abilities. "Also, since a Taixu Ancient Dragon ancestor fell here, do you want to take their remains back to the Dragon Island for proper burial?"

After a moment's thought, Zi Yan nodded. "The remains of a Taixu Ancient Dragon are incredibly valuable. If someone else found them, they might turn them into a puppet or extract their essence. It's better to give them a proper burial."

"Let me help," Xiao Ze offered, his soul power spreading across the plain. "Rise!"

With his command, the plain rumbled, and even the altar trembled as the massive skeleton of the Taixu Ancient Dragon lifted into the air.

"I'll store it in a high-grade storage ring for now," Xiao Ze said, putting the skeleton into an empty storage ring and handing it to Zi Yan.

Zi Yan, holding the ring with gratitude in her eyes, hugged Xiao Ze. "Thank you, Xiao Ze."

"Don't mention it. We're friends, right?" Xiao Ze said, patting her back.

Zi Yan, her face buried in Xiao Ze's chest, felt a surge of affection. Unable to resist, she pecked Xiao Ze on the cheek, then realized what she had done when she saw the astonished looks on the others' faces. Even with her bold personality, she blushed.

"Uh, I just got carried away. It didn't mean anything... do you believe me?" she tried to explain, but Xiao Yi Xian and the others just shook their heads, amused.

Xiao Ze cleared his throat, redirecting their attention. "Let's discuss what to do with the remains of the Ancient Heavenly Phoenix. It's also a Dou Saint-level beast and highly valuable. Its remains are one of the greatest treasures here."

His words refocused everyone's attention on the remains of the Ancient Heavenly Phoenix.
