After several days, the situation worsened. Not only the Magic Phoenix Empire, but also some other
neighboring empires, such as the Timber Deity Empire, were attacked by demonic monsters. This
meant that the damage of the remnant souls that escaped from the Demonic Soul Cauldron was
increasing. Soon, it might affect the entire Wild Spirit Land.
If other empires knew the truth, the public would surely target their criticisms towards the Magic
Phoenix Empire. In addition, the Phoenix Master Clan might also be criticized by other clans of the
spiritual race.
Amidst the chaos happening in the Magic Phoenix Empire, they received another shocking news from
the Phoenix Master Clan. Although the speed of the transformation of the legendary guardian beast
was suppressed by the gene inhibitor made by Rocky, under the strong impact of the original soul of
the ancient demonic beast, the beast finally lost control and forcefully broke the enchanted barrier. A
big fight in the Phoenix Cloud Mountain took place, and many members of the Phoenix Master Clan
were killed or injured. After that, the legendary guardian beast that had gone berserk flew away from
the Phoenix Cloud Mountain, and it disappeared without a trace.
The Phoenix Master Clan had sent out several members to search for the escaped beast, but to no
luck. It really seemed to have disappeared without a single trace.
Now, demonic beasts were constantly emerging in different areas of the Magic Phoenix Empire, putting
the people in grave danger. What was worse was that the legendary guardian beast was controlled by
the original soul of the most powerful demonic beast in the ancient times. If the Phoenix Master Clan
and the Magic Phoenix Empire were not able to deal with the crisis immediately, the moment the most
powerful demonic beast in the ancient times was reborn in the body of the legendary guardian beast,
all the clans of the spiritual race and empires in the Wild Spirit Land would be badly affected. This could
be a promising opportunity for some ambitious clans of the spiritual race to attack the Phoenix Master
Clan.
After receiving the news from the Phoenix Master Clan, the Magic Phoenix Empire not only had to deal
with the demonic monsters that harmed and even killed creatures all over the empire, but also had to
help find the missing legendary guardian beast. There was definitely a lot on their plate and they were
exhausted.
The most troublesome thing was that some neighboring empires had noticed that the demonic
monsters had something to do with the Magic Phoenix Empire and even sent messengers to question
them. The Magic Phoenix Empire tried their best to hide the truth, but in the end, they knew they would
fail to do so.
At that moment, the anxious queen of the Magic Phoenix Empire was listening to the latest progress in
the hall. Her forehead was creased and she was squinting her eyes, as if thinking of a way to put out
the fire. Everyone in the hall was uneasy, for they knew that the situation was grim.
There were only the queen, Felicia, Erica, Rocky and the three women in the hall. The presence of the
demonic monsters could not be known by outsiders. They had to keep the crowd small to keep
information from spreading, so only the six of them were present.
"Your Majesty, although the Phoenix Master Clan has sent a group of people to support us, it's
obviously a drop in the bucket. In this case, we don't stand a chance. The demonic monsters are
overwhelmingly powerful. We have to think of other ways to defeat them," Felicia suggested to the
queen.
"I know, but what can we do?" the queen said as she glanced at Rocky and the three women in the
hall. Her voice was clear, but there was a hint of exhaustion in it.
At the request of the queen, Rocky and the three women stayed in the Magic Phoenix Empire. In the
past few days, whenever the queen had a meeting, they would be present to listen and express their
ideas. It was obvious that the queen had attached great importance to Rocky, thinking that he might be
able to help the Magic Phoenix Empire.
Seeing that the queen was looking at Rocky, Felicia understood what she meant. She turned to Rocky
and asked, "Do you have any idea, Prince Crimson?"
"Yes," Rocky answered with a serious look in his eyes, which were glistening. He clenched his jaw
while he gathered his thoughts before presenting them to the queen.
"Prince Crimson, if you have any idea, just say it!" the queen said anxiously. After all, the Magic
Phoenix Empire was in great danger. If the situation continued to worsen, soon, the leaders wouldn't be
able to control it. Therefore, the queen hoped that someone could stand out to save them at such a
crucial moment. And she placed the greatest hope on Rocky.
"I think the key to solving all the problems is the legendary guardian beast controlled by the original
soul of the most powerful demonic beast in the ancient times. The soul of the most powerful demonic
beast must be complete before it was sealed into the Demonic Soul Cauldron. Later, it was refined into
the original soul and thousands of remnant souls in the cauldron. Therefore, it can be inferred that if it
wants to come back to life in the body of the legendary guardian beast, the original soul is not enough,
because the remnant souls are also crucial. In other words, the original soul has to gather those
remnant souls that are scattered all over the Magic Phoenix Empire to form a complete soul. Only with
a complete soul can the most powerful demonic beast in the ancient times be reborn in the body of the
legendary guardian beast," Rocky said in a steady tone. All eyes were on him as he spoke. The queen
and the other women tried to follow and absorb all information explained by him.
"You mean to say that the legendary guardian beast, which is under the control of the original soul, will
try to gather the remnant souls scattered all over the Magic Phoenix Empire to form a complete soul?"
Felicia's eyes lit up as she tried to fathom Rocky's explanation. His deduction seemed to be very
reasonable. If the most powerful demonic beast in the ancient times wanted to be reborn with the help
of the legendary guardian beast, it would at least need a complete soul. Otherwise, it couldn't fully
control the legendary guardian beast.
"So, the legendary guardian beast will definitely appear again. And when it does, its only purpose is to
gather the scattered remnant souls," Rocky said with certainty.
"What you said makes sense. But even so, we can't even suppress the demonic monsters that have
been possessed by the remnant souls, let alone stop the rebirth of the most powerful demonic beast in
the ancient times," the queen said with a worried look. The Magic Phoenix Empire had always been
peaceful and prosperous since it was established. It was the first time that it had encountered such a
huge crisis. They were not prepared for anything like this. Moreover, if the most powerful demonic
beast were to be reborn with the help of the legendary guardian beast, the first one to suffer would
definitely be the empire.
"It's true that with our strength, we can't stop the rebirth of the most powerful demonic beast, but the
Phoenix Master Clan can. What we need to do is help them find where the legendary guardian beast
could be, so as to prevent it from being reborn by taking advantage of the body of the legendary
guardian beast," Rocky said calmly. His suggestion seemed to make sense. It could work, given that
they really could find traces of the legendary guardian beast.
"But even the Phoenix Master Clan can't find any traces of the legendary guardian beast. With our
strength, I'm afraid we won't succeed as well." Felicia shook her head in desperation. She was
beginning to feel helpless and was worried about how much danger they were in if they wouldn't be
able to stop the rebirth.
"That's not necessarily true. In fact, I don't think it's difficult to find the traces of the legendary guardian
beast. First of all, if the original soul of the most powerful demonic beast wants to gather a large
number of remnant souls, it must need a suitable place to hide and help it merge with the remnant
souls. According to the demonic nature of the most powerful demonic beast, a suitable hiding place
should be a place with a strong demonic aura. In addition, the original soul will not be able to gather so
many remnant souls voluntarily. Considering this, those remnant souls scattered all over the Magic
Phoenix Empire will be affected by the power of the original soul and gather towards the original soul.
Most of the remnant souls have attached themselves into spirit manipulators, spirit-manipulated beasts,
or supernatural beasts, and become monsters. Therefore, if we figure out the possible hiding place and
track the whereabouts of these monsters, we should be able to find out the location of the legendary
guardian beast," Rocky proposed. As he was done talking, he lifted his head up to seek approval from
the queen and the others.
