novelThe Vermilion Bird Isn't Proud Anymore
| ← Ch.1930 | Ch.1932 → |
What kind of feeling was this?
Who on earth could bring the Great Empress Vermilion Bird this kind of feeling?
This was a boundless darkness; this was a boundless profoundness; this was a feeling that was infinitely close to death...
It was as if her entire existence was going to be wiped from the universe in the very next instant.
Pure darkness obscured the entire sky.
The boiling hot earth also transformed into a realm of absolute darkness.
There was no heat, no light, no substance, and no space.
The Great Empress Vermilion Bird continued to flee frantically. However, even her brilliant wings that were radiating with a boundless amount of Vermilion Bird origin power appeared like they were going to be engulfed by the darkness.
She looked back with great difficulty. What entered her eyes was a sight that left her both terrified yet intoxicated.
Behind her, there stood a male who was dressed in a black immortal robe and was holding the Evil-Slaying Sword in his hand. With a simple swing of his sword, the six holy flame spears that were hurtling toward him were instantly obliterated into nothingness.
Like a Divine God who controlled both light and darkness, the colors of his eyes were a mixture of white and black. His aura wasn't overwhelming, yet it appeared as if he was transcendent above this entire world. His existence was ethereal and impossible to see through.
The Great Empress Vermilion Bird was intoxicated because of this male's aura. This was an aura that she dearly yearned for. At the same time, however, she was also extremely terrified. This was because the male had already pointed his sword toward her.
And she... had nowhere left to run!
Her surroundings were all obscured by darkness.
Meanwhile, the range of the male's attack could cover any area where darkness existed.
She had no idea how to break free from this boundless expanse of darkness.
This was An Lin's High-Rank God of War Mystic Technique—Dark Immortal Transformation!
After slashing aside the six holy flame spears, An Lin didn't show any signs of slowing down. Instead, he immediately swung his sword toward the Great Empress Vermilion Bird!
This was his "Three Second True Man Technique", and each instant of these three seconds was extremely precious.
"Die!"
An Lin roared in fury and viciously slashed his Evil-Slaying Sword at the fleeing Great Empress Vermilion Bird.
Knowing that she couldn't dodge this strike, the Great Empress Vermilion Bird immediately turned around and transformed into her original form. This was a colossal Vermilion Bird whose wingspan measured a whopping ten million feet in length. Right now, there was a look of contorted fury on her face. Countless amounts of blood erupted from her body and transformed into boundless blood flames that burned through the universe.
"You forced me to do this! Hong Li Blood Flames!"
Burning the Six Vermilion Bird Sages' bloodlines could condense six Universe Shattering Spears that were capable of piercing through and defeating the Azure Dragon. Now that the Great Empress Vermilion Bird was burning her own bloodline, how many times more powerful than the Universe Shattering Spears would her attack be?!
Every God of Creation Stage divine being knew not to fight to the death with another God of Creation Stage divine being. If one side lost, they could choose to flee. If they were backed into a corner, however, they would fight without any restrictions and very possible drag their opponent into a similarly fatal circumstance.
Right now, An Lin had backed a God of Creation Stage Holy Beast into a corner and forced her to fight as if her life depended on it!
The catastrophes and dangers triggered by this were countless times more terrifying than what ordinary God of Creation Stage divine beings would be able to manage.
The temperature of the Hong Li Blood Flames was hundreds of times hotter than the Holy Vermilion Flames that the Great Empress Vermilion Bird had released before. Not only was the origin of this flame undying, but this flame could even proliferate an infinite amount. Even if the darkness was boundless, this flame could spread limitlessly and fill up the entire darkness. In fact, this radiance—that was even brighter than the Vermilion Bird Star—could even pierce through the entire expanse of darkness!
The Great Empress Vermilion Bird had sacrificed her dao and burned her bloodline in order to launch this attack! It was an attack that was capable of killing a God of Creation Stage divine being!
Boom!
A blood-colored flame collided with An Lin's tremendous sword strike.
The billowing blood flames instantly engulfed the black sword projection. Then, it furiously surged toward An Lin.
The Great Empress Vermilion Bird raised her wings slightly and started to laugh upon seeing this. Her voice was dripping with hatred and satisfaction."Hahaha... Lovely! Burn him to death!"
Just as she finished speaking, she witnessed the blood-red flames before her being mysteriously sliced into two halves.
The Great Empress Vermilion Bird's mouth gaped open in shock. Before she could even observe the situation clearly, everything before her descended into absolute darkness.
She couldn't see anything, nor could she feel or sense anything. At this instant, even the pain in her body had completely disappeared. In fact, she couldn't even sense the existence of her own body.
This was something even more harrowing than death...
Disappear!
"No!!!" The Great Empress Vermilion Bird started to shriek in terror as a boundless sense of dread rapidly enveloped her entire body. Her expression changed drastically, and she frantically beat her wings in a desperate attempt to escape.
However, it was already too late.
A crack—which gradually became the most profound darkness—had already appeared on the midriff of her colossal body. Then, this darkness slowly spread over her body. It engulfed her chest, it engulfed her wings, it engulfed her crimson feet, it engulfed her head, and in the end, it even engulfed her awareness!
A boundless and eternal darkness... This was her final resting place.
The darkness disappeared.
The colossal Vermilion Bird that was large enough to blot out the entire star had also disappeared without a trace.
The vast heaven and earth were deathly silent. A scorching heatwave swept through the air. Only a white-clothed figure remained silently standing. His body looked weak and fragile, yet he still gripped the sword in his hand tightly.
Everyone in the Vermilion Bird Star System saw that boundlessly magnificent Vermilion Bird being engulfed by the darkness. They all witnessed the scene of her disappearing into nothingness. They were stunned, and they were dazed.
On the Immortal Vermilion Star, the half-dead Six Vermilion Bird Sages furiously shook their heads. Agony and disbelief were painted all over their faces.
"Where's the Great Empress Vermilion Bird? Don't tell me that... she's dead? No... the Great Empress Vermilion Bird is immortal and undying!"
"Shameless An Lin! Hurry up and release our Great Empress Vermilion Bird!"
"If you've got balls, then fight with Her Majesty head-on! Stop using all your schemes and underhanded techniques!"
"The mighty Great Empress Vermilion Bird is invincible! No one can ever shatter her legendary tale! Let's sit here and await Her Majesty's magnificent return!"
The Six Vermilion Bird Sages continued to clamor on about the Great Empress Vermilion Bird's greatness. Even though they were in extremely wretched states, this didn't stop them from yammering on in fervent passion.
Whoosh...
The sky started to rain blood.
Each drop of blood rain contained an extremely rich comprehension of the Vermilion Bird Dao Realm.
The phenomenon triggered by the death of a God of Creation Stage divine being started to appear throughout heaven and earth.
The Six Vermilion Bird Sages were slapped in the face.
Tears streamed from their puffy and bloodshot eyes as they stared at the unimaginable scenes before them.
All the beings in the Vermilion Bird Tribe's territories started to become aware of the Great Empress Vermilion Bird's death. Even though the phenomenon of heaven and earth had already appeared, they were still unable to come to grips with this reality.
Blood rain was falling over every planet in the Vermilion Bird Star System.
This phenomenon started to spread, and it proliferated from the Vermilion Bird Star System to numerous other surrounding star systems. The range of this phenomenon was even larger than what An Lin had seen last time. In fact, it spread over the entire southern region of the Realm of Stars and enveloped millions upon millions of planets.
Blood rain fell over all of these planets.
As the blood rain fell, the beings of these planets all became aware of one thing. That was, the Vermilion Bird—one of the Four Holy Beasts—was already deceased! An unstoppable sense of grief welled up in their hearts.
This was a colossal event that was bound to send shockwaves through the entire Realm of Stars!
Moreover, the phenomenon triggered by the Great Empress Vermilion Bird's death didn't merely stop at the southern region of the Realm of Stars. Instead, it continued to spread rapidly, and it eventually proliferated over the boundless entirety of the Realm of Stars!
The Vermilion Birds controlled the southern region, and right now, the southern skies of every star and planet in the Realm of Stars had become expanses of blood-red.
Regardless of whether it was day or night, the southern skies all appeared as if they had been dyed red by blood.
All the beings in the universe felt a boundless sense of grief.
This wasn't the death of a God of Creation Stage divine being. This was the death of a God of Creation Stage Holy Beast! The entire universe shed tears of mourning!
Of course, the beings of the Vermilion Bird Tribe felt the greatest sense of grief.
The beings in the Vermilion Bird Star System were all sobbing hysterically. The root of their bloodlines had been severed. The being who they respected and revered the most was now deceased. This event was so shattering that numerous beings of the Vermilion Bird Tribe chose to kill themselves on the spot.
They were the proudest tribe. The bloodline that flowed through their bodies was the source of their pride. And the Great Empress Vermilion Bird was the paramount being who they all strived to work toward. Now that the target of their pursuit had already died, it was easy to imagine just how devastating a blow their dao hearts had suffered.
Throughout the entire Vermilion Bird Star System, at least one in ten Vermilion Birds chose to end their own lives.
The Mourning of Heaven and Earth phenomenon triggered by the deaths of Dao Integration Stage cultivators also started to appear.
However, An Lin didn't have the spare time to focus on these matters. With his heart throbbing in nervousness and excitement, he quickly turned his gaze toward the location where the Great Empress Vermilion Bird had disappeared.
