Chapter 800: 609 Chapter Four Sacred Beasts_1

Su Yu slowly retracted the Netherworld Skull, his complexion becoming somewhat wilted. Utilizing the power of will to manipulate the skull took a great toll on his mind. Moreover, this power of will could only stimulate the divine power within the Netherworld Skull, but he had to throw it himself. His current speed of throwing the skull was too slow. If he encountered opponents stronger than the redhead man and his group, and if they were prepared, the Netherworld Skull wouldn’t be able to hit them at all.

That’s why it served as his secret weapon, to be used only in special circumstances when the enemy was caught off guard, to even have a slight chance of success. Therefore, just now he hadn’t planned on using the skull to attack the few powerhouses of the Phoenix Clan. Instead, he used it to destroy the cliffs and release this long-haired woman who had been imprisoned for who knew how many years.

He could tell that although the long-haired woman spoke harshly, she actually cared deeply for the Phoenix Dragon Beast. When Su Yu collapsed the cliff and released the long-haired woman, as expected, she instantly transformed into a colossal blue giant bird and shielded the Phoenix Dragon Beast on the ground.

This blue giant bird spread its wings, which were even larger than those of the yellow-robed elder who had transformed into a yellow phoenix with a wingspan reaching twenty meters. The bird’s presence spread out like a series of tsunami waves, sweeping across the entire scene.

"Qingluan, calm down. This is something we had to do for the future of our clan. Have you forgotten about that lowly Dragon Clan blood flowing in her veins?" a man in a purple robe on the other side shouted sternly.

Ada, perched on Su Yu’s shoulder, murmured, "So that’s how it is. The mother of the Phoenix Dragon Beast has inherited the bloodline of Qingluan, which ranks second among the five major Phoenix Inheritances."

Glancing at Ada, Su Yu continued, "The yellow phoenix represents the bloodline of Yuezhuo, the white-dressed woman probably represents the Honghu bloodline, the purple one is Yuezhuo, the mother of the Phoenix Dragon Beast is Qingluan. Then, could that redhead man be the foremost of the five bloodlines, the legendary, strongest Sacred Beast, Vermilion Bird?"

Su Yu took a deep breath and looked towards the redhead man. While he was not familiar with Qingluan or Yuezhuo, the name Vermilion Bird was indeed thunderous to his ears.

In the world he came from, there were widespread legends of four Sacred Beasts that guarded the cardinal directions: the Azure Dragon of the East, Vermilion Bird of the South, White Tiger of the West, and Black Tortoise of the North. These were considered the strongest of the mythical beasts in legends, known as the Four Sacred Beasts.

The first time he heard the name "White Tiger" in the Black Iron World, he associated it with the legends of the Four Sacred Beasts, only to later learn that White Tiger was merely the name of one of the Ten Great Giant Cities, belonging to the "Aztec civilization," which seemed to have no relation to the White Tiger from the legends of his previous world.

Now, hearing Ada mention the five Phoenix bloodlines, with Vermilion Bird ranking at the top, Su Yu couldn’t help being startled. Based on his knowledge, although Phoenix was a legendary divine bird, the king of a hundred birds, Vermilion Bird seemed to be more noble and powerful, truly the guardian spirit of the South.

However, as Ada had just suggested, Phoenix seemed to be a general term encompassing five different bloodlines, with Vermilion Bird being the strongest. It appeared that the realities of this world diverged considerably from the myths and legends widely circulated in his previous world.

Ada whispered to himself, the mother of the Phoenix Dragon Beast, Qingluan, now transformed into a blue giant bird, dominating the entire scene with an overwhelming presence. The Phoenix Dragon Beast on the ground, with tears streaming from its Dragon Eyes, started to whimper: "Mom... Mommy..."

"Child, my child, Mommy will protect you. No one can hurt you..." Qingluan spread its wings, shielding the Phoenix Dragon Beast, already in tears.

"Qingluan, don’t force me..." The redhead man said, his face contorted. Qingluan looked up at him, her eyes flashing with complex emotions, then shook her head firmly, declaring, "Wu Yu, no matter what, this is my child. I cannot tolerate anyone harming her."

The man in the purple robe shouted fiercely, "Wu Yu, to spare you the difficulty, leave Qingluan to us. Honghu, let’s go."

As the man in the purple robe shouted, he began to contort, quickly transforming into a huge phoenix as large as the yellow phoenix, only his body was covered in purple feathers. Spreading his wings, he let out a phoenix-like screech and ferociously pounced towards Qingluan.

In the legends, among the five Phoenix bloodlines, Vermilion Bird ranked first while Qingluan was second. The remaining three bloodlines were far inferior to those of Vermilion Bird and Qingluan. Thus, when the man in the purple robe made his move, the white-dressed woman also transformed into a white phoenix at the same moment. Together with the purple phoenix, they attacked Qingluan—it was only by joining forces that they dared to challenge Qingluan.

If it came to a one-on-one fight, neither the man in the purple robe nor the white-dressed woman would be a match for Qingluan.

The Azure Giant God roared incessantly, clashing fiercely with the yellow Phoenix in a chaotic battle, flames rolling and melting the cliffs. Qingluan spread its vast wings, its form far grander than either the purple or white Phoenixes. It screeched sharply, "Wu Yu, do not harm my child." As its mouth opened, a blue light arced out like a ribbon, shooting forth. In an instant, the three Phoenixes violently collided, their talons, beaks, and wings beating against each other, and in the blink of an eye, the sky was filled with massive feathers—purple, white, and blue—shed from their bodies.

In the fierce three-way battle, Qingluan’s lineage truly lived up to its ranking, second only among the top five Phoenixes. Its pair of azure wings unfolded like the heavens above, streaks of blue light rising from around its body and enveloping both the purple and white Phoenixes within; it held its own against two adversaries without faltering.

The might of Qingluan surprised Su Yu and the others, who now understood why those present had shown such drastic changes in their expressions when Qingluan was released.

"Wu Yu, hurry, we can’t hold off Qingluan for much longer—think of the future of our own clan and the hatred towards the Dragon Clan—" The purple Phoenix desperately resisted the frenzied Qingluan and shrieked at the red-haired man.

Wu Yu’s expression subtly shifted, his face betraying his struggle to decide until the purple Phoenix invoked the enmity with the Dragon Clan. His expression then radically changed, and finally, he darted towards the Phoenix Dragon Beast on the ground.

At that moment, Su Yu, Qin Jiagui, Ma Ziye, and Di Di had already reached the Phoenix Dragon Beast. Wu Yu pounced, and Qin Jiagui let out a mocking laugh. The "7" charm in his brow faintly visible, his body sounded with continuous cracking noises, the blue Double Shoulder Cannon Tower and the chase cannons on the outer sides of his arms appearing in succession. Combined with the mutant power within him, his metallic skin quickly heated to a red-hot glow. Wu Yu had barely made a move before Qin Jiagui’s body blasted out a barrage of cannon fire, crazily shooting at Wu Yu.

Now, the yellow Phoenix engaged the Azure Giant God; purple and white Phoenixes faced Qingluan, leaving only the red-haired man, Wu Yu.

Su Yu had long been channeling the Lightning Power within his body. By the time Wu Yu lunged, eight giant, golden swords, each fifteen meters long and half a meter wide, had already formed behind Su Yu.

Being able to condense these eight Golden Greatswords signified that Su Yu had pushed the Lightning Power in his body to an astounding 20 million volts, fully materializing the power of lightning.

As countless cannon fire bombarded him, Wu Yu raised his right hand, and a sphere of Phoenix Blazing Flame rose from his palm. Seeing this crimson flame, Ada whispered softly, "Indeed, this fellow has truly inherited the strongest Vermilion Bird lineage. Only the Vermilion Bird can summon such fiery red Phoenix Blazing Flame. Right, the Phoenix Dragon Beast can do it too. I understand now..."

Ada suddenly realized something. In the daytime, when they entered the Phoenix Valley, they saw thousands upon thousands of Phoenixes, but they were all uniformly yellow, white, or purple. There was no red to be seen, let alone blue—clearly, the Phoenix Clan had no successors, and the most powerful lineages of Vermilion Bird and Qingluan had not been passed down.

It wasn’t until the Phoenix Dragon Beast appeared, capable of summoning fiery red Phoenix Fire, that it became a sign of the Vermilion Bird lineage for the Phoenix Clan. Hence, they planned to extract the Dragon Clan’s lineage from the Phoenix Dragon Beast and have Wu Yu infuse a strand of his own blood, combined with the original Vermilion Bird bloodline of the Phoenix Dragon Beast, to artificially create the most powerful lost Vermilion Bird Sacred Beast.

However, since Wu Yu had already fully inherited the Vermilion Bird lineage, why was there a need to create another new Vermilion Bird beast? Could it be—Ada’s heart shook at the thought, his gaze turning to Wu Yu—could it be that this fellow’s lineage was not pure?

While Ada speculated, a fiery red wing had already extended from Wu Yu’s back, shielding him from the deluge of incoming cannon fire. Amidst the thunderous booms, Wu Yu’s left hand swept forward, unleashing a swath of Phoenix Fire, displaying its terrifying might.

Su Yu thrust his hands upward, catching two of the Golden Greatswords, and with the shout, he launched into the "Endless Sky Soaring." He bellowed ferociously as the two Golden Greatswords forcefully descended upon Wu Yu.

The blow from the 20 million-volt surge demanded the attention of any adversary.

Behind him, Ma Ziye murmured softly. Knowing Wu Yu’s strength, she unleashed three Soul Weapons at once.

Soul Shackle aimed at Wu Yu’s chest, Soul Handcuffs at his hands, and Soul Leg Cuffs at his feet—all shot towards him with fierce acceleration.

With three Soul Weapons engaging him, Ma Ziye had exerted her full strength—of course, this was also the result of her diligent training over the past days. Previously, she had not possessed the ability to use three Soul Weapons at the same time.
