Chapter 2247

Philip quickly looked down and took out the shining object.

Jade gold phoenix!

It was the jade gold phoenix that was auctioned off at the Phoenix Pavilion auction house during the underground chamber of commerce back then. It was something that belonged to his mother!

At this moment, the jade gold phoenix shone with white and golden brilliance. A soft and majestic energy fluctuation radiated from within the jade gold phoenix, which canceled out the mighty pressure of the longsword and even offset the black energy radiating from the Black Dragon Heart.

Instantly, Philip felt the pressure on him dissipating. He held the jade gold phoenix and walked toward the Black Dragon Heart. He could only see the Black Dragon Heart clearly when he got close. It was a black stone shaped like a heart with fine and obscure lines on it. Bursts of red and black light flowed in the lines just like blood.

Moreover, Philip could also feel the heartbeat of this Black Dragon Heart.

Thump, thump!

With every beat of the Black Dragon Heart, Philip could feel the rhythm of his heartbeat that began to match the Black Dragon Heart. In the end, Philip could feel his heartbeat becoming a perfect match with the beating of the Black Dragon Heart.

At that moment, Philip felt a drastic change in his surroundings. Everywhere he saw was a completely black space. Nothing could be seen, and nothing could be heard. It was as if his five senses were completely severed.

At this moment, Philip seemed to be immersed in a vortex of black space. Then, he felt water slowly flowing over the soles of his feet. When he looked down and before he could react, Philip felt

completely submerged in a pool of water.

He was cold and unable to breathe. However, he could feel the movement in his surroundings.

A huge black shadow seemed to flash across the soles of his feet. Philip looked down and swam in the direction of the huge shadow. After some time, a small ray of light appeared in front. It was rippling with water waves.

Philip looked for the light and kept swimming.

Splash!

He swam out of the water, and the scene that entered his eyes was like a fairyland. It was a landscape of birds and flowers. Philip stood on the grass and saw a white castle a hundred meters away.

Philip walked to the castle and arrived at a thick and ancient door. He reached out and pushed it open. Behind the door was a figure with their back facing him. She was in a long white dress, looking dignified and elegant. With a white-gold crown on her head, she stood on top of a 19-step stairway.

The moment Philip saw this figure, his eyes turned red. He walked to the figure before he started running. Tears welled up in his eyes as he shouted, “Mom!”

The figure turned around slowly, revealing her face that was alluring and beautiful. She was full of gentle smiles and had a doting look in her eyes. Looking at Philip standing in front, she stretched out her hand and touched his cheek. He was half a head taller than her. Her red lips parted slightly as she said softly, “Phil, it’s been a long time. You’ve grown taller and bigger.”

At that moment, Philip’s eyes were full of tears. Like a lost child, he jumped into the woman’s arms and cried bitterly.

After a long while, Philip let go of the woman and asked nervously, “Mom, where is this place? Why are you here? Aren’t you…”

The woman smiled and said, “This is the inner space of the Black Dragon Heart. What you see now is an image I left back then using some special techniques.”

“Image..?”

Philip was startled before he realized that everything in front of him was not real.
