Chapter 971: 880 Vermilion Bird’s Might

The black seal hadn’t yet fallen when a powerful gravity enveloped the area.

Shen Jiu’s body radiated spiritual light as he transformed into a massive Nine-Headed Ghost Pigeon with nine heads.

One of the heads spewed out a thick beam of blue halo, covering the black seal. Ghostly shadows on the seal emitted mournful wails, dragged out by the blue halo and swallowed by the Nine-Headed Ghost Pigeon.

Another head of the Nine-Headed Ghost Pigeon cast a thick yellow light, striking the black seal. The black seal instantly petrified and then shattered to pieces.

"Nine-Headed Ghost Pigeon!"

Sun Mang exclaimed in disbelief.

Lightning flashed and thunder roared high above, as thick silver lightnings slashed the heavens, racing directly towards Sun Mang.

Sun Mang changed his spell, and the Dharma Nature above his head raised its right hand, slapping towards the void. The void fluctuated and a pitch-black enormous palm flashed out, crushing the approaching red lightning.

A clear and loud bird cry resounded. The sky suddenly darkened; a massive Vermilion Bird appeared in the sky, covering the sun, wrapped in red flames, as if bathing in fierce fire.

"Vermilion Bird!"

Fear filled Sun Mang’s eyes.

The Vermilion Bird opened its mouth and unleashed a thick beam of red flame, heading straight for Sun Mang.

At the same time, vast amounts of red flames surged from the ground, and red fire spears appeared in the void, shooting aggressively towards Sun Mang.

Sun Mang pinched his spell, and a surge of Yin Qi emerged from his body, rolling and turning into black spears, clashing with the incoming red fire spears.

He flicked his sleeve and a shield flickering with black light flew out, guarding him in front.

The collision between the red fire spears and the black spears annihilated both, generating a strong shockwave. The red flames were also blocked by the black shield.

A green firelight lit up above Sun Mang’s head, revealing a colossal Green Fire Phoenix, the Qinglian True Flame.

"Eighth Rank Spiritual Flame!"

Sun Mang exclaimed in surprise.

The Green Fire Phoenix crashed into Sun Mang’s Dharma Nature. With a thunderous boom, a swath of green flames engulfed Sun Mang’s Dharma Nature.

His Dharma Nature emitted an extremely agonized cry, its surface radiated black light to no avail, and suddenly collapsed.

Sun Mang’s face turned beet red, spitting out a large mouthful of Essence Blood, and his complexion paled.

A blue light flashed, a huge blue seal appeared above Sun Mang’s head, smashing down directly, while at the same time, a strong gravitational force emerged from the ground.

Sun Mang’s body glowed with gray light, his body withered, his fingers grew long and thin, his eyes turned blood red, transforming into a Fierce Ghost with a green face and fangs.

His pair of black Ghost Claws blocked above his head, holding up the falling blue seal.

His body plummeted rapidly, landing on the ground. A thick golden lightning and three blue-light flickering Flying Daggers shot out.

Sun Mang hurriedly opened his mouth, spewing out nine black-light flickering Banner Flags, with numerous ghost shadows visible on them.

The nine black Banner Flags circled around him, emitting a series of mournful wails, releasing a vast amount of Yin Qi that turned into a thick black light screen, protecting Sun Mang’s entire body.

The golden lightning struck the black light screen, which remained unmoved, and the three blue Flying Daggers successively hit the black light screen, making it shake slightly.

A red light ring swept over, melting mountains and vaporizing vegetation wherever it passed, the void itself unable to withstand the high heat, tearing apart.

Burning Heaven Boiling Sea!

Vermilion Bird’s exclusive Divine Skill!

An area of tens of thousands of miles turned into a sea of red fire, the red light ring touched the black light screen, which dimmed and soon shattered.

The red light ring swept over Sun Mang’s body, who felt as if he was thrown into boiling magma, screaming in agony.

Sun Mang turned to ash in plain sight, and a Yin wind blew over from miles away; Sun Mang reappeared, thanks to his Tribulation-Substituting Treasure saving him from calamity.

"Burning Heaven Boiling Sea!"

Fear was evident in Sun Mang’s eyes. Even though his cultivation was a small realm higher than his opponent, he could not withstand the unique Divine Skill of a True Spirit. This was the terrifying aspect of True Spirits.

A thunderous roar sounded, a massive silver Thunder Pillar tore through the sky, heading straight for Sun Mang.

Sun Mang pinched a spell, and the black shield emitted a dark light, blocking the falling Silver Thunder Pillar.

He patted his chest, where a dazzling blood light shone, and a fierce blood-colored ghost image emerged from his chest, with blood-colored flesh wings on its back.

Sun Mang’s body emitted a "crackling" sound of bones, and a large bulge formed on his back with numerous bloodstains. A pair of blood-colored flesh wings grew from his back, drenched in fresh blood.

With a gentle flap of the blood-colored flesh wings, they transformed into a streak of blood light and disappeared.

His Mana was deeper than his opponent’s; since he couldn’t defeat him, he chose to flee—surely he could escape!

"Thinking you can outrun me? Ridiculous."

Vermilion Bird’s voice was filled with disdain, reverting to human form.

Shen Long and Shen Peng merged into one, their skin sprouting a pair of wings covered in golden arcs.

With a gentle flap of the golden wings, the lightning surged, and Shen Long transformed into a bolt of golden lightning and vanished.

A thunderous booming sound came from afar, faintly mixed with the sound of ghostly wails.

Soon, a bolt of golden lightning lit up the sky, and Shen Long appeared, his golden wings ceaselessly flapping.

He quickly caught up with Sun Mang, annihilated him, and obtained numerous treasures.

Shen Long removed Sun Mang’s corpse and Nascent Soul, letting Shen Jiu consume them.

"Master, before he entered the minor world, he sent someone to inform the Myriad Ghost Sect, and a Mahayana from the Myriad Ghost Sect will definitely enter this minor world," Shen Jiu reported.

"As long as we don’t encounter a Mahayana Cultivator who commands the Spirit Domain, it shouldn’t be a problem," Shen Long replied solemnly.

Vermilion Bird’s unique Divine Skill, ’Burn Heaven and Boil Sea’ was indeed formidable; thousands of miles of land had been reduced to scorched earth.

They returned to the blue giant ship. Shen Long pinched a spell, and the ship emitted a blue light, soaring into the sky and quickly vanishing into the horizon.

······

In a vast Green Bamboo Forest, an ear-splitting explosion echoed deep within, followed by a gigantic burst of golden light that shot straight into the clouds.

Amid the explosive sounds, faint beast roars and tremors shook the earth.

After a while, the explosive noise disappeared.

Deep in the bamboo forest, two golden-robed men with similar features and a curvaceous woman in a white dress sat on the head of a Red Giant Tiger. Their hair was golden, topped with a single golden horn.

Tian Cobalt Clan, one of the vassals of the Blood Shadow Clan.

Not far, a massive yellow python lay on the ground with a huge bloody hole in its head, lifeless.

"There are mid-stage Eighth Rank Monster Beasts here; it seems there are many of them in this place!" the woman in the white dress remarked.

Tu Xue, Mid Stage Mahayana.

"This indicates a malfunction in the Formation, leading to the appearance of so many Eighth Rank Monster Beasts. It’s just uncertain whether the Lin Family has stored any rare resources in the small world," a golden-robed man curiously said.

Tu Shan, Mid Stage Mahayana.

"The foundation of the True Spirit Noble Family is profound. They must have stored some resources. We are following the orders of the Blood Shadow Clan to find those two Mahayana period beast cultivators, but we didn’t expect to encounter the Lin Family’s minor world manifesting. This is our opportunity," another golden-robed man excitedly said.

Tu Lei, Early Stage Mahayana.

The Blood Shadow Clan’s handsome rewards prompted the Tian Cobalt Clan to deploy three Mahayana to find the culprits, accidentally encountering the Lin Family’s minor world manifesting. If they could obtain a significant treasure, the Tian Cobalt Clan might develop into one of the Super Clans.

"Obtaining the Lin Family’s stored resources is what constitutes an opportunity. Let’s leave this place first," Tu Xue said, collecting the corpse of the yellow python.

The Red Giant Tiger roared loudly as it left the area.
