Chapter 500: The Vermillion Bird
On the other hand, the people of the Black Tortoise Sect and Lotus Religion were sitting on the sidelines and watching the fire. None of them made a move. They were waiting for the moment when they could reap the benefits.
Unfortunately, the people of the Fen Family and Artifact Forging Sect weren't able to live up to their expectations. After losing more than ten warriors, they knew that this Heavenly Fire was not something they could touch, so they had no choice but to retreat.
"Zi Ling, it's our turn now, isn't it?" Xuan Shuai said to Zi Ling with a faint smile.
"Are we really going to take action? It might not be the Heavenly Fire!" Zi Ling said indifferently.
Xuan Shuai's eyes lit up. "It is not the Heavenly Fire?
"That's right. If I'm not wrong, it's should be a Heavenly Beast, the Vermilion Bird." Meng Ran said with a certain tone.
Vermilion Bird.
Xuan Shuai and the people behind him changed their expressions. They knew that there were rare beasts in Evil Margin Valley, but they only heard that there was a chaos Divine Beast. But now, another Divine beast had appeared.They couldn't help but feel shocked.
"Haha, good, good, good. A Vermilion Bird is even rarer than a heavenly Fire. "Xuan Shuai laughed wildly. Then, he shouted at the people behind him," Everyone, get into formation and seal this place with all your might! We can't let it escape!"
Xuan Shuai looked at the raging fire. His Divine Eyes had gathered all of his power to pierce through all obstacles. Sure enough, he finally saw the scene in the center of the fire.
He saw a humongous azure-colored bird. Its entire body excluding azure flames.
Its azure eyes were filled with thick anger. Its speed was extremely fast, and it rushed towards those lower Heaven Profound Realm warriors.
However, a large amount of hail and waves formed a cage of ice water that trapped it in this place, preventing it from harming anyone else. It also lowered the temperature brought about by its raging flames by a lot.
Immediately after, a wave of hailstones and waves rushed towards the Vermilion Bird.
Rumble rumble rumble!
The attacks launched by dozens of Heaven Profound Realm warriors in formation were extremely terrifying. They smashed down large areas of space, causing numerous spatial cracks to appear, making it seem incomparably terrifying.
Many ice bubbles and waves were made by cultivators. They were condensed from spirit energy, extinguishing more than half of the raging flames. Meanwhile, the Golden Fire Bird was smashed to the point where it didn't know what to do.
After a round of attacks, the original flame energy around the Golden Fire Bird had been greatly reduced. It actually allowed the others to vaguely see its true appearance.
All the warriors cried out in surprise.
"Is... is this the manifestation of the heavenly flame? Why does it look so similar to the golden fire bird?
"It's not strange to say that it has already reached the realm of transformation. It's not strange for it to transform into a beast. Looks like this Heavenly Fire really is of a very high level!"
"No... did you all sense its life aura? It... it isn't the Heavenly Fire, but a true spirit Beast, The Vermilion Bird. Fuck, it another Divine Beast."
"Didn't I hear that the other side produced chaos Divine Beasts a few days ago? Why did a Vermilion Bird appear again? When did divine beast becomes so common?"
...
Each and every one of them looked at the Vermilion Bird with incomparably burning eyes.
But among them, the Fen Family and Artifact Forging Sect's people who were not far away were the happiest. Because they cultivated the fire attribute, this Vermilion Bird was even more to their appetites.
As for the people from the Black Tortoise Sect and Lotus Religion, most of them had the ice and water attribute. Even if they captured the Vermilion Bird, they wouldn't be able to use it.
However, there was one exception. He was Xuan Shuai!
Everyone knew that the successors of Black Tortoise Sect's generations would all have water attributes, and Xuan Shuai was no exception. He was indeed water attribute.
However, not many people knew that he cultivated the fire attribute at the same time. He was a martial artist who cultivated both fire and water. Moreover, he had the legendary Yin Yang Body. He was not inferior to Meng Ran's Water God Body at all. In terms of pure combat strength, Xuan Shuai would definitely be stronger.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have been chosen as the Young Sect Master of the Black Tortoise Sect long ago.
However, he did not seem to be interested in this position. He was not very interested in managing those mundane matters.
Therefore, this Vermilion Bird in front of him was also very suitable for his protective spirit beast.
The prerequisite was that he could subdue it.
Now, the Vermilion Bird was like a trapped bird. Although the flames on its body were temporarily extinguished, it instantly erupted and swelled up again.
It kept charging towards the sealed space, trying to break through this place and escape.
Unfortunately, the hail and waves created by dozens of Heaven Profound Realm cultivators had blocked it layer by layer.
It was only a Late Stage Heaven Realm spirit beast, unlike the Chaotic Divine Beast, which was already at the peak stage of Heaven Rank. Moreover, its attacks weren't as bizarre as the Chaotic Divine Beast.
However, this didn't mean that it was captured just like that.
The azure feathers of the Vermilion Bird began to ripple with dark azure flames.
This Azure flame gathered together bit by bit, a terrifying aura ascending to the peak.
Xiu!
Azure flame rushed out from its feathers, and a brilliant light flashed in the sky like a meteor, heavily smashing onto the waves of hailstones.
Rumble rumble rumble!
True Dragon Dragon Pearl, White Tiger Fangs, Vermillion Bird Feather, Black Tortoise Shell, Qilin horn...
All of these represented the origin of the various Divine Beasts and the source of their greatest strength.
And the Vermilion Bird's feather attack was undoubtedly its most powerful attack. That heavenly flame condensed from the source flame smashed heavily onto the barriers blocking its path like a brilliant radiance.
The barriers that were formed by dozens of warriors were forcefully broken through by this powerful force.
The Vermilion Bird seized this opportunity and quickly rushed out.
It was just that when it rushed out, Xuan Shuai shouted in shock, "Elder Xuan Ming, quickly stop it! We absolutely can't let it escape!"
As Xuan Shuai's voice fell, the man called Xuan Ming next to him made his move.
Xuan Ming's long spear danced with numerous spear lights as it pierced towards the Vermilion Bird.
Clang! Clang! Clang!
When his spear light struck the Vermilion Bird's body, it emitted a series of ear-piercing collisions. Its body was sent flying to a distance that was far away.
The Vermilion Bird knew that it could not win. With a loud cry, it quickly fled in a certain direction.
"Zi Ling, use your strength to help me!" Xuan Shuai shouted at Zi Ling in shock. He accelerated and rushed towards the Vermilion Bird.
At the same time, a pair of swords appeared in his hands. One was water and the other was fire. One was long and the other was short. The Fire Water Divine Sword was a Divine Weapon. The power it released was no worse than Bing Wuji's Ice God Sealing Saber.
The two swords slashed out at the same time. One Yin and one Yang, two different powers began to converge, forming an attack power that was like a Taiji diagram that pressed down on the Vermilion Bird.
The power of the Tai Chi sword beams was no less than a peak stage heaven Profound Realm cultivator's attack. Moreover, the formation of the natural law attack was extremely targeted.
Rumble rumble rumble!
A series of explosive sounds could be heard.
The Vermilion Bird kept dodging, trying to flee forward, but it was blocked by the cultivator's encirclement and slaughter.
At this moment, the Goddess of Lotus Religion finally moved.
Her body possessed an unimaginable cultivation speed, but there weren't many who were as abnormal as Zi Ling.
Of course, other than speed, she also possessed exceptional opportunities that others couldn't replace.
This was because she had obtained the inheritance of the first generation sect master of the Lotus Sect who had already died.
That generation sect master was an existence that had become a supreme being. He had only died in an accident. However, her inheritance was left behind forever, a portion of her remnant soul also preserved, waiting for reincarnation.
Meanwhile, the first sect master's name was precisely "Zi Ling.
That remnant soul had already assimilated with Zi Ling's original soul.
Not many people knew about these secrets. Only a few people from the Lotus Sect knew about this. It was precisely because of this that the old sect master of the Lotus Sect accepted Zi Ling as her personal disciple. In fact, she wanted to nurture Zi Ling as her next successor.
Whether Zi Ling obtained the inheritance or was born with a borrowed body, not many people could tell.
In addition, she had once obtained the divine artifact of the Lotus Sect, the Lotus Divine Throne. This Lotus Divine Throne was a complete ancient Divine Weapon. Only those who were fated to obtain it.
It was the weapon of the first generation sect master of Lotus Sect, Zi Ling, as well as all the precious treasures that she cultivated in.
Because Zi Ling had obtained her inheritance, she was able to invite this ancient Divine Weapon out.
