Chapter 2575 Vermilion Bird Demon Saint
The golden eyes blinked, and the cold, ruthless gaze that had terrified Qin Sang seemed to regain a trace of warmth, followed by a soft, clear hum.
Immediately, Qin Sang felt a powerful suction force emanating from the flames, drawing the surrounding blazing currents towards it.
In the Southern Ming Fire, the Vermilion Bird stretched its neck and cried out, its sharp beak opening and closing, its throat like a bottomless abyss, and the blazing current rushed to its mouth, instantly swallowing up the remaining Qilin essence into its belly, sweeping it all away!
The surrounding fiery currents were drained away, and Qin Sang noticed the little Qilin, discovering that it had now turned into a Qilin egg.
There was a familiar yet unfamiliar aura inside the Qilin egg, comparable to its own, but now it was very quiet. It seemed that the little Qilin had not been able to break through to the Fusion Stage on the spot and had fallen into a deep sleep.
A hint of hesitation flashed in Qin Sang's eyes, but she ultimately put the egg away.
‘Wow! ’
The divine bird spread its wings, fanning the flowing fire, and a crimson flame enveloped Qin Sang.
At the same time, green vines grew from between the wings of the Vermilion Bird. The green leaves and roots swayed gently and immediately took root in this cave, making it many times easier than when they came.
The green vines sway and grow windingly, forming a vine ladder that seems to have no end and connects to the heavens.
The Vermilion Bird rode its crimson flames up the vine ladder and disappeared from the cave in an instant.
They had completely absorbed the essence of the Qilin, and now they were returning with a full load, finally restoring peace to the cave.
But the cave was completely unrecognizable. The Qilin Fire Wall was shattered, the Qilin was nowhere to be found, and the sea of fire had become even more violent. The molten river manifested by the spiritual veins of heaven and earth surged with huge waves, and the overflowing molten flames stirred up even larger fire waves around it. Everything here seemed to be heading towards destruction.
After they left, it is unknown how much time had passed.
Suddenly, the sound of tearing silk rang out in the void, and then a blade of energy flashed, its light slicing through the void and leaving a conspicuous crack.
This energy blade forcefully cleaved through the final layer of the cave's array, creating a crack that connected the inside and outside. Outside the crack, two figures appeared and disappeared, none other than the demon saints of the Dragon and Phoenix clans.
Behind them, two figures appeared to be close yet distant; these were the Demon Saint and the True Lord Yan Zhu.
Both sides remained wary of each other, but seemed to have reached some kind of consensus, ceasing their fighting and opening the cave together.
Unfortunately, they arrived a step too late...
Amidst the howling of crimson flames, molten lava continuously surged forth from the molten river like a burst dam. It was clear to anyone with eyes that this cave dwelling was on the verge of collapse.
When the demon saints broke through the array, it became the last straw. Yan Zhu Zhenjun and the three demon saints, who were about to enter the cave, suddenly changed their expressions.
With a deafening roar, as if the heavens and earth were being torn apart, the realm was collapsing, the spiritual veins of heaven and earth were shattered, and the molten flames in the lava river completely broke through the dam!
……
"What is your cultivation level now? Late stage of the Integration Realm?"
Qin Sang still felt lingering fear when she recalled those golden eyes.
For a moment, he was genuinely worried that Zhuque's personality had changed drastically and that he was turning his back on people.
Although Suzaku was unreliable before, it cannot be assumed that this is Suzaku's true nature.
Once Suzaku regains its cultivation and memories, it is entirely possible that it will transform into something else entirely.
Even the most amiable and powerful being possesses an inviolable dignity; anyone who dares to act recklessly in his presence is simply asking for death.
The powerful figure before him knew all about Qin Sang's shameful act of being stuffed into a furnace as firewood. Moreover, he had failed to outmaneuver Qin Sang and had been suppressed by Qin Sang to this day. With the help of the First Sword Servant, he even had Qin Sang's mark left in his body.
What if Suzaku brings up old grievances...?
Fortunately, Zhuque did not turn against him and instead took Qin Sang out of the Qilin Cave, where he was flying through the cave.
After Qin Sang calmed down, she finally had the mind to carefully examine the Vermilion Bird and was amazed by its cultivation level.
In his perception, the Vermilion Bird's aura at this moment was no less than that of the two demon saints from the Dragon and Phoenix clans.
The Vermilion Bird responded with a soft hum, its cheerfulness and pride undisguised, much like the previous Vermilion Bird, suggesting its temperament hadn't changed much.
It's really the late stage of fusion!
Qin Sang was shocked.
For thousands of years, Zhuque had been longing for the origin of Qilin. Qin Sang had anticipated that Zhuque would have a great harvest this time, but he did not expect it to be so earth-shattering, equivalent to crossing an entire major realm.
Even a small Qilin needs to slumber to mature; perhaps only a resurrected being like the Vermilion Bird, who may have regained its memories, could withstand such a thing.
Qin Sang's gains were considerable, advancing directly from the early stage of Yang God to the peak of Yang God. However, he already felt that his foundation was unstable and he had to go into seclusion to digest his gains. The late stage of Integration was something he dared not even think about.
However, Qin Sang keenly noticed that Zhu Que's voice was also somewhat strange, with a hint of drowsiness at the end.
He was enveloped by the Southern Bright Fire and could not see the Vermilion Bird's current appearance, but he could sense that the Vermilion Bird's aura had shown signs of decline after soaring to its peak.
Qin Sang immediately realized that it wasn't as easy for the Vermilion Bird to absorb the massive amount of Qilin essence as it seemed. It also needed to go into seclusion to digest the essence as soon as possible in order to stabilize its current realm.
Suzaku was fighting off his 'sleepiness' as he took him back.
"Consider it an obligation I owe you..."
Upon hearing this, Qin Sang felt ashamed.
Zhuque is now a Demon Saint, and a powerful one at that. Why should I, a mere Void Refinement cultivator, care about my personal relationships?
In the blink of an eye, an insurmountable chasm has formed between them. If the main body cannot seize this opportunity to break through, the gap will only widen in the future.
Unexpectedly, the Vermilion Bird responded with a long cry, seemingly reminding Qin Sang not to forget what she had said today.
Just then, as the Qilin's essence was taken away, the spiritual veins of heaven and earth began to collapse, affecting the entire cave heaven. An even more violent tremor occurred within the cave heaven, and a world-destroying scene followed one after another.
'Rumble...'
Ahead, the sky collapsed and the earth caved in, as if they were performing a final sacrifice. The fiery clouds in the nine heavens were burned away, and pure blue heavenly fire surged. The earth spewed out dark yellow putrid flames and ochre poisonous flames. These were the calamity flames born when heaven and earth were destroyed. They intertwined and tore at each other, as if time and space were being distorted, and condensed in front of them into a strange fire tide that stretched across the eight wastelands.
Deep within the raging inferno, an unnamed substance surged, sometimes collapsing into a black hole that swallowed light, sometimes expanding into a dazzling halo, and even distorting spacetime.
Inside, there was a patch of azure fire, clear as ice. Within the icy flames, the faint outline of an ice palace could be seen, suggesting a secret realm. Unfortunately, it was already surrounded by calamity fire, and the icy flames gradually extinguished within the calamity fire. The ice palaces, along with the entire secret realm, sank into the vast tide of fire until the last bit of blue light was completely extinguished.
The roar came from there, like the aftershocks of the destruction of the secret realm. In an instant, a huge wave lifted the fire tide high, and then the sky and sea of fire, like the palm of a giant god, crashed down on the abyss.
The world is silent!
This is true destruction, as if fragments of the earth have turned into quicksand, carrying away the remains of all things, and all matter has returned to chaos.
At this moment, such a scene is not uncommon in the Qilin Cave Heaven.
The Vermilion Bird's gaze narrowed slightly, as if it had sensed something. Crimson flames surged between its wings, and its tail feathers trailed a meteor-like brilliance, leaving a divine bird's afterimage in the void. It pierced through the flames and disappeared where the blue flames had just vanished.
……
The earth rumbled loudly.
The source of the loud noise was the wind desert, and the vibrations were spreading from the wind desert to every corner of the Great Wind Plain.
The tremors began not long after the Dragon and Phoenix clans forcibly broke open the cave heaven, and all forces had become accustomed to them. Moreover, compared to the grand scenes of battles between powerful figures, these were merely some tremors, which seemed rather mundane.
The wind blows in the east.
Feathers, will-o'-the-wisps, and dark rivers appear and disappear intermittently.
The four True Lords of the half-demon were doing their best to harass them, but their strength was ultimately inferior.
Although the demon saints of the Dragon and Phoenix clans are currently too busy to deal with them, they can still keep their supernatural powers at bay by taking a little time out of their busy schedules.
'boom! '
An ice arrow pierced the core of the Ghost Fire River, and a chill spread through the river at a visible speed, instantly freezing the Ghost Fire River.
The glacier shattered with a deafening roar, transforming into countless will-o'-the-wisps that scattered into the void.
However, the Yin River of Ghost Fire has been scattered countless times. As long as the true form of the Heavenly Stele True Lord is not injured, it can be reassembled into the Yin River.
The Heavenly Stele True Lord silently cast a spell, and the ghost fire gathered again before relentlessly attacking Feng Mo.
The other three True Lords were equally persistent. While other forces fought for treasures, they fought for survival. Despite being weaker than their opponents, they did their best, much to the annoyance of the Dragon and Phoenix clans.
……
On the battlefield where Heavenly Fire and the Altar clashed, the Kingdom of Horned Life and the Kingdom of Shadow God seemed to have been wiped from the world.
The altar stood tall on the earth, enduring the tempering of scorching winds, the blazing heat of fire, and the hammering of meteors. Various celestial phenomena came in turn, gradually eroding the altar's divine light. The altar was gradually shrinking, and the amplitude of its tremors was increasing.
……
Above the middle of the sky.
The stars shine upon the azure dragon.
Under the leadership of the Lord of Chi Island, the Dragon Palace Demon Saint is undertaking a campaign against Heaven to resist the New Demon Court.
The Milky Way hangs in the sky, its starlight like ropes. Several star ropes have already wrapped around the dragon's claws and tail.
These star-shaped ropes are tough and sharp, deeply embedded in the dragon's scales, and even the mighty dragon cannot break them by force.
'Whoosh! '
The starlight was dazzling, and a star rope suddenly appeared, managing to grab the dragon's horn, and then, like a leech, it clung to it tightly.
The azure dragon roared and swung its head violently, tightening the star rope and actually affecting the stars in the sky, causing the starlight to flicker erratically.
The Wood God frowned as he stared at the Azure Dragon. He hadn't brought many helpers this time, because all their plans were aimed at seizing the Ancient Demon Court. Once the Ancient Demon Court appeared, the Demon Emperor would personally lead all the cultivators to descend and, together with the Dao Court, forcibly seize it. Now that they had discovered the Ancient Demon Court wasn't here, the higher-ups wouldn't risk the wrath of the world just to seize a Qilin Cave Heaven.
Although the Qilin Cave Heaven is wonderful, the only way to gain benefits from it is through him and his companions, which is why they have been unable to suppress the Azure Dragon.
Fortunately, he had a backup plan with the half-demon, and hopefully it will come in handy this time.
……
Just as these powerful beings were displaying their extraordinary abilities, the tremors emanating from Feng Mo suddenly intensified, becoming several times more violent in an instant.
The sudden change drew the attention of these powerful beings. They could all see that the cave in the desert was doomed and was finally about to collapse.
'boom! ’
The Tianbi Mountain Range has collapsed.
The place that collapsed first was precisely where the Dragon and Phoenix clans had broken through the cave heaven. Even during the battle, the demon saints of the Dragon and Phoenix clans kept a close eye on that place to prevent the enemy from sneaking into the cave heaven.
They were the first to discover it. A stream of fire spewed out from the broken mountain, its momentum swift and soaring into the sky. The violent power of the flames exploded in the high sky, forming a cloud of fire. The flames turned into a rain of fire that poured down from the sky, turning the earth into a sea of fire.
The fire stream formed a conspicuous pillar of fire in the desert, with a continuous stream of fiery power gushing out from behind it. The pillar of fire grew thicker and thicker, and the flames spread outwards from the desert. The sand and dust that filled the desert were ignited by the fire and turned into dust and ashes.
And this was just the beginning. Not long after, a violent tremor swept through the desert once again. On the western side of the Tianbi Mountains, the earth cracked open, and another stream of fire burst forth from the sea of fire.
The third, the fourth...
More and more streams of fire rose and fell, heralding the destruction of the grotto.
Pillars of fire stood tall in the desert, their overflowing fiery power igniting the forbidden area. The flames connected and spread out, forming a huge fire pool in the very center of the Great Wind Plain.
After this great battle, even if Fengmo is not affected by the aftershocks of the battle between powerful beings, it will still be turned into a scorched earth and a sea of fire. One of the seven forbidden lands in the past will probably no longer exist!
……
Tiancang Kingdom.
Geng Chu Zhi Zhi Tan.
A faint spiritual light permeated the altar, including the light of the altar's talismans, the sharp lightning, and the illusory light of the dream seed. These spiritual lights seemed to have the ability to isolate the inside from the outside, creating a unique pure land here.
The astonishing spectacle of powerful beings battling, the flames destroying the forbidden land, and the ever-fearing spirits of the Great Wind Primordial seemed to have nothing to do with Qin Sang. His expression was calm and composed, his aura as still as a deep pool, making him stand out from the chaos.
Qin Sang was fast asleep, her expression serene, completely absorbed in her dream, oblivious to the noise around her.
In her dream, Qin Sang also locked herself in a cave without a door, recalling everything she felt the moment she activated the Thunder Altar.
Qin Sang sat cross-legged in the cave, motionless, completely absorbed in the moment, unaware of the passage of time.
I don’t know how much time has passed.
The dream finally began to change, starting with Qin Sang. A crack appeared in the stone wall opposite him, forming a stone door, and then a small stone platform grew out of the stone door.
Then, centered on the stone gate and stone platform, a mountain emerged, and flowers, trees, birds, beasts, fish and insects grew on the mountain, and life began to appear.
Then the dream continued to spread outward from the foot of the mountain, and the earth and rivers began to appear, along with the sky and white clouds.
The world is boundless, and as the master of dreams, Qin Sang can create freely within them.
Suddenly one day, the situation changed drastically.
A fierce wind swept in, obscuring the sky and destroying everything that had been there. Qin Sang returned to the Great Wind Plains, and the various kingdoms of half-demons began to appear around them.
