The dark clouds seemed extremely oppressive at the moment as a huge shadow covered the vision of everyone present in the battlefield.
*Swoosh!*
Strong gusts of wind appeared from the southern skies, akin to tornados destroying everything in their way.
Mo Yuxin slowly looked up to the south where the giant shadow came from, looking extremely tiny under it.
She couldn’t hide her shock as she instantly became horried to discover a wingspan of at least a thousand feet covered the sky.
Due to the suppression of the shadow, she couldn’t even use her Divine Sense to gauge how huge this monstrous creature was.
Lu Qingfeng’s heart tightened at the sight, as if he had encountered his natural enemy.
This was the Vermilion Bird!
A Southern Cardinal Divine Beast who wielded the Vermilion True Flames!
A Divine Beast that descended from the line of Phoenixes!
Not only did it represent both the summer season and the fire element, but it also represented the south cardinal direction.
However, only one question lingered in the hearts of the many cultivators present.
Why was it here?
At this moment, the temperature of the surroundings increased drastically, even more so than when Lu Qingfeng activated his True Yang Body.
This Vermilion Bird clearly possessed a very high cultivation!
All the cultivators who realized this had their hearts sunken.
A few of them, possessing extraordinary backgrounds, knew that a young Vermilion Bird only had a wingspan of around 500 feet, while it’s true body was around 300 feet.
Many races’ growth process was different from that of the Human Race, which included the Vermilion Bird Race too.
To become an adult, a Vermilion Bird had to reach the Nascent Soul Realm, moreover, this was the minimum requirement!
However, this Vermilion Bird, with a massive wingspan of over a thousand feet, was clearly not a youngling!
One had to know that even the weakest adult Vermilion Bird was at least in the Nascent Soul Realm!
There was a high chance this fellow had perhaps even surpassed the Nascent Soul Realm!
*Screech!*
Suddenly, the Vermilion Bird let out a shrill scream, it’s voice laced with extreme killing intent.
This voice alone could kill any cultivator below the Foundation Establishment Realm and severely damage those even at the Acquired Realm.
It’s scream echoed for thousands of miles, immediately halting all the battlefields nearby.
It’s full face came into light as a ball of fire converged on its beak, expanding rapidly before it turned around and launched it into the sky.
*Boom!*
Foll𝑜w current novℯls on ƒrēewebnoѵёl.cσm.
A loud explosion sounded in the ears or every cultivator as a tornado of Vermilion True Flames enlarged at a rapid speed, burning the air as it rushed towards a certain direction.
*Bang!*
As if colliding against an unbreakable wall, the tornado of flames quickly extinguished as a blue palm of lightning hundreds of feet big descended from the dark clouds.
Alongside it descended countless thunderbolts as they crashed crazily on the body of the Vermilion Bird.
The impact of this battle between the Vermilion Bird and the mysterious expert spread to hundreds of miles, everyone who witnessed it amazed at the power erupting from the darkened skies.
A terrifying pressure spread from the battle to all directions as lightning rained down like a torrential downpour.
"Heavenly Feather Crimson Monarch, it’s better if you just give up and come with me! Your struggle is completely meaningless and poses no value to either of us!"
A thunderous roar sounded in the heavy sky, another palm strike converging among the bolts of lightning and landing on the Vermilion Bird called the Heavenly Feather Crimson Monarch.
*Boom!*
The Vermilion True Flames churned around the Heavenly Feather Crimson Monarch’s body as a layer of defense appeared around it.
However, the Vermilion True Flames instantly dispersed upon coming into contact with the lightning palm.
*Boom!*
*SCREECH!*
A blood curdling scream escaped the Heavenly Feather Crimson Monarch as it turned its massive head to the mysterious figure who could not be seen in the clouds.
"Ancestor Blood Fang, there will be no room for reconciliation between us if you continue any further! Do you not understand my identity!?"
Surprisingly, this voice sounded extremely dignified and feminine, indicating that the Heavenly Feather Crimson Monarch was actually a female Vermilion Bird.
At this point, it was filled with rage and even hatred towards the Ancestor Blood Fang mentioned by the Vermilion Bird.
""There’s no need for us to go this far, but you’re really pushing my limits! I just need a drop of your True Phoenix Blood Essence, yet you don’t give me any face and force the current situation to arise!"
Ancestor Blood Fang replied unhappily as countless bolts of red lightning interweaved together, forming a mighty figure a hundred feet tall.
It was the Avatar of Ancestor Blood Fang!
Although he looked smaller and less imposing than the Heavenly Feather Crimson Monarch, his aura was far more profound and frightening than the former.
It was clear that there was a great difference between the two despite both of them being in the same realm.
"Very well then! I’ll let you know the true power of my True Phoenix Bloodline!"
The Heavenly Feather Crimson Monarch said begrudgingly before a terrifying pressure emanated from it as the Vermilion True Flames burned with a power far greater than before, as if it was about to burn the skies and return everything to nothingness.
Looking at this scene, Ancestor Blood Fang was momentarily stunned before gritting his teeth in rage, "You, you’re burning your True Phoenix Blood Essence!?"
He had only wanted a drop of the Heavenly Feather Crimson Monarch’s True Phoenix Blood Essence, yet here she was, burning it all away!
He couldn’t accept this!
On the other hand, the Heavenly Feather Crimson Monarch smirked evilly at Ancestor Blood Fang.
She was a pride Vermilion Bird, one of the very few in the current Second Great Mortal World. Not to mention that the Vermilion Bird Race had descended from True Phoenixes, she was also the only one in her generation of Vermilion Birds to have the True Phoenix Bloodline.
Her arrogance was naturally as high as the heavens themselves.
When the Ancestor Blood Fang appeared in front of her and demanded a drop of her True Phoenix Blood Essence, she was enraged and directly engaged in a fierce battle against the former.
With the Ancestor Blood Fang being in the Third Stage of Tribulation Transcendence Realm and the Heavenly Feather Crimson Monarch having just crossed the threshold and stepped into the Tribulation Transcendence Realm, it was clear that the Ancestor Blood Fang would have the upper hand in the fight.
However, as a genius of her own right, the Heavenly Feather Crimson Monarch chose to burn her True Phoenix Blood Essence rather than give a drop away.
Her power had already reached the peak of the Third Stage of Tribulation Transcendence Realm!
At this moment, Ancestor Blood Fang was angered to the extreme and conjured countless red lightning palms of different sizes in the air, all aiming for the Heavenly Feather Crimson Monarch.
*Boom!*
An explosion rang out as all the lightning palms collided with the Vermilion True Flames enhanced by the True Phoenix Blood Essence, stirring up red lightning flame storms in the sky which came crashing down to the earth, killing countless cultivators no matter if they were righteous or demonic.
However, no one had any objections to this.
Casualties were common in a battlefield, specially when two such supreme experts appeared out of nowhere.
One could tell that Ancestor Blood Fang was a demonic cultivator while the Heavenly Feather Crimson Monarch, despite not belonging to any path logically, should be on the righteous path’s side.
Why?
It was because the Vermilion Bird Race had been members of the Kunlun Divine Mountain for ages!
It was a known fact to the cultivation world of the Second Great Mortal World!
On the other hand, many Golden Core Realm demonic cultivators were also expectant when they heard the name of the Ancestor Blood Fang.
This person belonged to the Forbidden Demonic Valley, the topmost major faction of the demonic path!
They had been laying low for many years, and now, they had finally made a reappearance!
Seeing the two mighty figures of the ultimate major factions of the righteous and demonic paths, everyone was filled with expectations.
The major factions finally took action!
Even if it was for a personal reason, at least these mighty figures appeared. No one cared for whatever reason they were fighting for.
However, at this very moment, a voice resounded throughout the heaven and the earth, extremely domineering.
"Forbidden Demonic Valley, you dare try to harm someone close to the future Saint, are you not afraid of heavenly retribution?"
As soon as the voice fell, a huge hole appeared in the sky showing a pitch black void before the Heavenly Feather Crimson Monarch was pulled in by a mysterious suction force.
"Remember the fact that the Kunlun Divine Mountain is a supreme force that forget the Forbidden Demonic Valley, but even the entirety of the demonic path can not resist."
