After waiting ten days at the phenomenon site, the result was a bird beast covered in crimson flames that resembled both a phoenix and a Vermilion Bird!
Jun Changxiao was dumbfounded.
Wangu Sect’s high-ranking members and disciples were also dumbfounded.
Wasn’t a vein supposed to emerge? How did it become a strange beast emerging?
“Clang——”
The Crimson Flame Beast cried sharply again, containing a certain kingly power. It interfered with the several hundred thousand flowing lights hovering nearby, causing them to gradually transform into similar forms, gathering before it in a hundred-birds-paying-homage formation.
“This is…” Gongsun Hou said gravely: “The Vermilion Bird Clan!”
“Vermilion Bird Clan?”
Jun Changxiao had been in the upper realm so long and had ‘good’ relationships with various major clans, but had never heard of this type of clan.
“Vermilion Birds possess divine beast Vermilion Bird bloodline. They were originally one of the upper realm’s myriad clans, but due to their inherent characteristics, they disappear without a trace every hundred thousand years, then after another hundred thousand years are reborn in flames.” Liu Sinan explained.
“Nirvana?”
“Something like that.”
“Such a strange clan.”
“The Vermilion Bird Clan has scarce numbers but strength comparable to the three major clans. Only because they disappear for a hundred thousand years and undergo nirvana for another hundred thousand years—two hundred thousand years back and forth—records about them in the upper realm are very few.”
Jun Changxiao kept staring at the flame-covered bird beast. He quickly remembered the egg obtained from the Plane Battlefield. After hatching, didn’t it claim to possess Vermilion Bird bloodline?
“Their appearances are worlds apart!”
One resembled a phoenix, one resembled a rooster. If you said they had blood relations, Jun Changxiao absolutely wouldn’t believe it, unless…
“Damn!”
“The incubator definitely has problems!”
Xiao Longlong was a genuine Five-Clawed Dragon. After experiencing the incubator’s mutation, he became a little lizard. That egg also mutated, resulting in a rooster.
Some might say this contracted beast has no presence.
No!
Its presence was very high.
Because after mutating, it possessed special power. Every day it would stand on a mountain peak to crow loudly, thereby letting disciples spend each day full of energy.
Everyone’s strength improvement was inseparable from the rooster, just as stepping on every inch of Wangu Sect’s land was inseparable from Peppa’s diligent cultivation.
Although these contracted beasts disdained appearing in camera shots, they were contributing to the sect every moment. So we needed to keep them in our hearts, rather than coldly asking when they occasionally appeared: who is this? When was it contracted? Such heartbreaking words.
Back to the point.
The giant Vermilion Bird hovered above, several hundred thousand smaller-formed kin gathered around it, presenting a beautiful picture.
However.
After discovering humans nearby, their eyes immediately flashed with unfriendly light.
“Clang——”
The giant Vermilion Bird cried again. Several hundred thousand clan members seemed to receive orders, releasing more concentrated flames one after another, dragging flowing lights to launch attacks on the nearest Wangu Sect disciples!
“Swoosh!”
“Swoosh!”
Fireballs like cannonballs fell from the sky.
“Shield Mountain!”
Xiao Zuiji shouted loudly. His entire body transformed into mecha form, layers of barriers instantly arranged nearby, forming absolute defense.
“Bang bang bang!”
“Boom boom boom!”
Flames impacted, heat surged.
However, after the explosive bombardment, Xiao Zuiji stood proudly in place, the condensed barriers not broken even one!
Having broken through to lower True-Seeking Realm, his defensive power exceeded before.
Wangu Sect’s number one tank, truly deserving.
“Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!”
The Vermilion Bird group didn’t stop because of this. They launched a second attack, fire projectiles covering an extremely wide range.
“Swoosh!”
However, just as the rain of fire was about to fall, extremely cold flowing light seemed to tear through space, directly annihilating all projectiles, transforming them into scattered sparks.
Ye Xingchen withdrew his Sky-Piercing Halberd, standing before Xiao Zuiji. His muscular body matched with his proud face was truly… awesome.
On the other side.
Su Xiaomo and Li Fei generated wind beneath their feet, kicking away incoming projectiles.
The Vermilion Bird group launched attacks numbering tens of thousands. A few core disciples alone absolutely couldn’t resolve them, so Dark Destroyers actively flew over, using steel bodies to block the storm.
“Swoosh——”
Just then, Lu Qianqian arrived dragging white light. She stood before the mechas, facing the dense rain of fireballs alone. The character special effects on the back of her hand activated, her wind-blown black hair rapidly turning silver-white, strange array patterns outlined beneath her feet.
“Swoosh!”
“Swoosh!”
She formed hand seals.
“Extreme Cold Storm!”
“Whoosh whoosh!”
Visible extreme cold aura rippled from Lu Qianqian’s body, spreading crazily in all directions. Everywhere it passed left layers of frost. Under sunlight, brilliant and radiant!
The Vermilion Bird Clan followed the fire-element path. Facing the powerful extreme cold force displayed by an ice-element martial artist, the ultimate result was extinguishment upon contact.
“Clang——”
The giant Vermilion Bird raised its head and cried, then turned its body, charging toward Lu Qianqian who was spreading cold aura to suppress the clan. As it moved, the flames gathered around it seemed to instantly pervade the entire sky.
“Swoosh!”
“Swoosh!”
Black-White Rakshasa, Elder Ding, and other sect high-ranking members flew over at extreme speed, then positioned themselves in the path, True Spirit power channeling into their hands.
“Whoosh whoosh!”
“Whoosh whoosh whoosh!”
Towering flames covered like ocean waves, not only raising the surrounding temperature but also bringing them tremendous oppressive force!
At this moment, Liu Sinan and Gongsun Hou flew from the main warship, stopping before the high-ranking members. Space power and Sand power erupted simultaneously, but inwardly they secretly groaned: “This bird is comparable to peak True-Seeking Realm!”
Although the two had improved to upper realm through the Simulation Battlefield, they still couldn’t contend with peak realm, much less a Vermilion Bird Clan king who had just undergone nirvana!
Since they couldn’t withstand it, why come out?
Because this was Jun Changxiao’s order.
“Whoosh!”
“Whoosh whoosh!”
The scorching flames pressed urgently closer. As temperature rose, space gradually twisted and shattered.
Judging from the current situation, the powerful aura emanating from this giant Vermilion Bird was completely sufficient to crush Wangu Sect’s high-ranking members. Insisting on fighting head-on, the outcome would definitely be death.
Even so.
Liu Sinan, Gongsun Hou, and others didn’t retreat, because they remembered Wangu Sect’s first principle—iron-boned integrity!
Unfortunately.
Outside the phenomenon area, countless isolation arrays had gathered. They hadn’t been destroyed temporarily, so the scene of Wangu Sect members resisting a giant Vermilion Bird couldn’t be seen by the world.
“Whoosh!”
The scorching flames pressed down fiercely, the aura of death surging into their hearts.
However, at this critical moment, the child-form Jun Changxiao flew from the main warship. In the blink of an eye, he stood above the giant Vermilion Bird, assuming a baseball pitcher’s throwing posture, shouting loudly: “Go, Sect Master Ball!”
“Swoosh——”
Flowing light flew at extreme speed, as if penetrating the void!
The giant Vermilion Bird, having locked all attention on Wangu Sect’s high-ranking members, flashed panic in its eyes.
“Bang!”
Suddenly, its forehead was struck.
“Swoosh——”
Blinding flowing light rapidly appeared, seeming to transform into a large net enveloping the Vermilion Bird. Before it could cry out, it completely disappeared from mid-air.
The towering flames extinguished, temperature returned to normal.
Liu Sinan, Gongsun Hou, and others’ foreheads immediately beaded with sweat.
If that big guy had disappeared a moment later, they would probably have been burned to ashes by now!
“Swoosh!”
Jun Changxiao summoned the Transcendent Sect Master Ball hovering in mid-air. His spiritual sense merged into it, spying on the miniaturized Vermilion Bird bound inside. He grinned: “From this moment on, you’re my pet.”
