Within the enormous pit, earth vein spiritual qi and fierce, brutal evil qi surged like boiling water, dyeing the heavens an uncanny amber hue. The void torn apart by that ancient battle tens of millions of years ago was yet unrepaired, and faintly, one could glimpse intertwined streams of crimson gold and silvery white light flowing through.
Two mountain-like remains were entwined in a biting posture. On the left, the phoenix skeleton resembled crimson crystal art, its seven tail feathers piercing deep into the stony pit, each vertebra coursing with magma-like veins. Two enormous skeletal claws tightly gripped the head and neck of the Taowu remains beside it.
The remains of Taowu were shrouded in darkness, as though carved from black gemstones. Its spine arched sharp as a blade, its ruthless claws dug deep into fissures in the earth, and even now, black arcs of lightning danced within. That massive skeletal maw was sunk into the phoenix's neck.
