Nirvana Phoenix Song

The night was dark, Feng Tangyue and Mo Chenzhao took a short break. Although they had just experienced a fierce battle, the shadow of the Mingfeng Organization still lingered in their hearts. The two realized that their actions at the altar had been completely exposed, and the Mingfeng Organization would only pursue them more relentlessly.

"We must leave this area." Mo Chenzhao stared into the distance with a low voice.

Feng Tangyue nodded, and gently stroked the quieted Star Core. Although she had successfully mastered a portion of the Star Power, this power was still unstable. Every use of it carried a huge risk. She knew that what they were facing now was not only the Mingfeng Organization, but also the unsolved mystery of the Star Core itself.

"But we can't act rashly," Feng Tangyue frowned, "The Mingfeng Organization is too familiar with the terrain in this area. If we move around casually, we might fall into their trap."

Mo Chenzhao thought for a moment and nodded slowly: "You are right, we need to find a safe hiding place to temporarily avoid their pursuit, and then plan the next move."

The two quickly continued to move forward in the dense forest, but as time went by, the surrounding environment gradually became weird. The familiar path began to twist, and the shape of the trees also changed. No matter how alert Feng Tangyue and Mo Chenzhao were, they still felt as if they were going in circles.

Feng Tangyue suddenly stopped and stared coldly ahead. She could sense a strange atmosphere in the air, as if an invisible force was lurking in the dark.

"Is this... a formation?" she whispered, her heart sinking.

"It seems that we have fallen into an illusion." Mo Chenzhao's face also became solemn. He quickly drew out his sword. The sword tip trembled slightly, as if sensing the changes around him.

Feng Tangyue immediately activated the star power in her body, trying to sense the source of the illusion. However, no matter how she directed the power, the surrounding scene did not change at all. The trees remained the same, and the dense forest was as deep as before.

"This is not just an illusion," Feng Tangyue clenched her teeth, "This is an advanced maze with restrictions, specially designed to trap people with special abilities and even distort their perception."

Mo Chenzhao also realized the seriousness of the problem. He looked around calmly, trying to find the key to breaking the formation: "The Mingfeng organization set up a maze in advance. It seems that they are well prepared. This forest is their killing ground."

A sharp light flashed in Feng Tangyue's eyes: "But this also shows that they are afraid of the power of the star core and dare not act rashly. They can only use this method to trap us."

"In this case, we must counterattack." Mo Chenzhao's eyes were firm, "If we can't break the formation, we will fall into their trap completely."

Feng Tangyue nodded, took a deep breath, and waved her fingers gently. The power of the stars condensed into a faint starlight in her palm and radiated in all directions. As the starlight spread, the surrounding scene began to distort slightly, and some details of the formation gradually emerged.

"It is indeed a maze," Feng Tangyue said coldly, "The power of the formation comes from this land, and we are now in its core area."

Mo Chenzhao swung his sword, and the sword energy shot towards a strange old tree like a stream of light. However, the sword energy was bounced back by the tree trunk, as if an invisible barrier was blocking his attack.

"We can't use brute force to break the formation," Feng Tangyue frowned, "It draws on the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. A brute force attack will only lead us into a deeper mystery."

As the two were lost in thought, the illusions around them began to become more and more real, almost indistinguishable. Even the ground beneath their feet began to tremble, as if they would be sucked into an endless abyss in the next moment.

"No, we must find the center of the formation as soon as possible." Feng Tangyue clenched her hands and began to guide the Nirvana power in her body to merge with the power of the stars. She realized that only by thoroughly stimulating the power in her body could she find an opportunity to break the formation.

Mo Chenzhao quickly stood in front of Feng Tangyue to protect her from being disturbed: "I will hold back the power in the illusion, and you will use all your strength to break the formation!"

Feng Tangyue nodded, then sat cross-legged, eyes slightly closed, the surrounding starlight began to gather around her, as if she was the center of this world. Her consciousness sank into the core of the stars, trying to use the power of the stars to find the key to breaking the formation.

As time passed, the pressure in the illusion became stronger and stronger. Mo Chenzhao swung the sword in his hand faster and faster, and every move was accompanied by a fierce killing intent, forcing back the power in the illusion. However, this illusion seemed endless and kept trying to weaken his power.

At this moment, Feng Tangyue's eyes suddenly opened, and starlight flashed in her eyes. She stood up, pushed her hands forward, and the power of the stars turned into a huge ripple, sweeping around.

"Found it!" Feng Tangyue shouted softly, pointing her finger to the southeast, "The center of the formation is there!"

Mo Chenzhao didn't hesitate at all, and quickly swung his sword in the direction Feng Tangyue pointed. The sword energy fell like thunder, hitting the hidden center of the formation.

With a loud bang, the ground cracked, and the power of the formation hidden in the dark dissipated instantly. The surrounding scene suddenly changed, and the originally distorted dense forest returned to normal.

"It's done!" There was a hint of joy in Feng Tangyue's voice.

However, just when the two thought they were out of trouble, a deep laugh suddenly came from the bushes ahead. A familiar figure slowly walked out—it was the core figure of the Dark Wind Organization, the Dark Wind Messenger.

"Feng Tangyue, Mo Chenzhao, your reactions are beyond my expectations." The voice of the Dark Wind Messenger was tinged with sarcasm. His gaze swept across Feng Tangyue and stopped on the star core in her palm. A greedy light flashed in his eyes.

Feng Tangyue and Mo Chenzhao became alert instantly. They knew that the real danger had just begun.
