Bringing with them an overwhelming might, the six holy spears all stabbed toward the Azure Dragon that was biting onto the Great Empress Vermilion Bird’s neck.
These holy flame spears were tremendously powerful, and each of them possessed the ability to easily shatter a colossal planet.
Xu Xiaolan had no chance of escaping, and her body was instantly penetrated by the six spears.
She shook uncontrollably as a searing pain tore through her body. At the same time, she couldn’t help but open her jaws and let go of the Vermilion Bird’s neck.
Not only were these Universe Shattering Spears extremely sharp, but they were even burning with immensely powerful flames. An explosive sharpness started to wreak havoc inside the Azure Dragon’s body.
At the same time, the spears that were lodged in the Azure Dragon’s body started to unleash their devastating flame powers.
Lodging into their target was merely a prelude. What was most important was the explosion that soon followed.
This was a violent and earth-shattering explosion.
The Nan Li Vermilion Bird Fire stripped all matter, the You Luo Vermilion Bird Fire corroded blood and flesh, the Bing Xin Vermilion Bird Fire froze all mobility, the Tian Jin Vermilion Bird Fire incinerated all matter, the Huan Jin Vermilion Bird Fire penetrated through the body, and the Tai Jing Vermilion Bird Fire scorched through the divine sense.
At this instant, Xu Xiaolan was hit by six different types of excruciating pain. The power of each of the six flames was devastating enough to kill a divine being of the God of Creation Stage.
As the holy flame spears ruthlessly unleashed their powers, the Azure Dragon’s colossal body was continually pushed through the space. A dazzling, six-colored rainbow flame trail stretched out behind the colossal Azure Dragon.
Eventually, the colossal Azure Dragon was viciously pinned to the surface of the Immortal Vermilion Star by the six holy flame spears.
The Immortal Vermilion Star once again suffered a catastrophic blow. Not only was it hammered by the fall of the Azure Dragon, but it was even penetrated by the six holy flame spears that had run through the Azure Dragon’s body. From afar, it looked as if the gigantic red planet was being squished by a colossal Azure Dragon. In addition, both the red planet and the Azure Dragon were skewered by six vibrant holy flame spears.
“Roar!” the Azure Dragon roared in vexation and agony.
The Great Empress Vermilion Bird wore an aloof expression as she gazed down at the immobilized Azure Dragon. “It’s finished... Now, it’s time for me to enjoy my meal!”
The Six Vermilion Bird Sages were stunned when they saw that their bloodlines could unleash such overwhelming powers. Even the legendary Azure Dragon had been nailed to the Immortal Vermilion Star! Their feelings of resentment were gradually replaced by a feeling of fervent excitement.
“Is this my true power? Amazing... it’s actually able to render the Azure Dragon immobile!”
“Xu Xiaolan, do you see? My power is currently entrenched in your body and tormenting your soul. In my eyes, you’re nothing but trash!”
“Waah... Thank you, Great Empress Vermilion Bird. Thank you for showing me how powerful I can become!”
“I’m willing to sacrifice my all for the Great Empress Vermilion Bird!”
“Sacrifice for the Great Empress Vermilion Bird!”
After having their bloodlines forcefully extracted from their bodies, the Six Vermilion Bird Sages all looked like they were on the verge of death. At this instant, however, they still transformed into obsequious birds who loudly proclaimed their loyalty to the Great Empress Vermilion Bird.
How the Empress treats me isn’t important. I’m willing to die and sacrifice my all for the Great Empress Vermilion Bird!
Everything that the Empress does is correct. Even in the rare case that it isn’t, it’s still undoubtedly deserving of our forgiveness!
As the Great Empress Vermilion Bird descended, a heatwave swept over the Immortal Vermilion Star and caused half of its land to redden and boil. Each and every one of her actions was capable of instigating a catastrophic natural disaster. Right now, she only wanted to do two things—kill Xu Xiaolan and eat Xu Xiaolan!
Boom!
Unable to take any more damage, the colossal Azure Dragon transformed into specks of azure light that vanished into the air.
Along with the colossal Azure Dragon, the power of the Azure Dragon Tribe, the projection of the Azure Dragon’s Holy Berth, and the star power of the Dragon Origin Star also disappeared.
The Great Empress Vermilion Bird was momentarily dazed. Then, as she gazed down at the injury-riddled Xu Xiaolan, the corners of her lips tugged up into a mesmerizing smile. “It was a borrowed power after all... The most brilliant and most powerful moment of your life has already become history. Right now, I’m afraid that you can’t even defeat the Six Vermilion Bird Sages, am I correct?”
The Vermilion Bird rapidly shrunk in size as she transformed back into the shapely female who was dressed in a crimson-feathered dress. She slowly walked toward the weakening azure-clothed female.
“I was forced to pay an unimaginable price in this battle. Even if I eat you, I still won’t be able to make up for my loss...” Although she wore a smile, the Great Empress Vermilion Bird’s expression was extremely frosty. “Tell me, how should I thank you...?”
Xu Xiaolan crawled up from the ground with great difficulty. Like six heaven-piercing flame columns, the six holy flame spears radiated with boundless flame might as they remained lodged in the Immortal Vermilion Star.
Perhaps successfully escaping from the torturous burning of the holy flame spears was the only benefit of the Azure Dragon disappearing.
“You don’t need to thank me because An Lin will definitely show you his immense ‘gratitude’.” A beautiful smile stretched across Xu Xiaolan’s face as she wiped the blood from the corners of her mouth.
“An Lin?” The Great Empress Vermilion Bird couldn’t help but howl with laughter. “That arrogant fool was burned to death by the Reincarnation Sun ages ago! You really think he can leap up from the dead and save you?”
As she said this, she breathed out a crimson-colored bead.
The Vermilion Bird Heart Essence reappeared in the world again!
This time, however, there was a glaring fracture on its originally flawless surface.
This fracture was located where the bead had been sliced open two times. Even with the Great Empress Vermilion Bird’s current power, she still wasn’t able to repair this fracture. Based on this fact, one could imagine just how wretched the state of Vermilion Bird Heart Essence was right now.
The Great Empress Vermilion Bird also felt a great sense of despair. She had initially wanted to extract Xu Xiaolan’s bloodline and flawlessly fuse it into her own body. In order to do this, however, it was necessary for her to release the Vermilion Bird Heart Essence. After all, she needed this Heart Essence to absorb Xu Xiaolan’s bloodline. Much to her disbelief, however, the Vermilion Bird Heart Essence was sliced open by two successive surprise attacks. In the end, even she herself had been severely wounded...
However, it had all come to an end now. It had finally come to an end!
“Not only am I going to absorb your bloodline and fate, but I’m even going to absorb every last bit of power from your flesh and blood. After I’m done, I’ll imprison your divine sense and torture it for millions upon billions of years. Only then will I finally consume you...”
The Great Empress Vermilion Bird wore a cold smile as she lunged toward Xu Xiaolan. “Even if you want to die, I won’t allow you to die painlessly. I’ll deal with you as I dealt with An Lin. I’ll confine you in the Reincarnation Sun and have you experience the pain of being continuously burned by the reincarnation flames. You’ll beg for death, yet you won’t be able to die... This is the punishment for daring to challenge me!”
Xu Xiaolan wasn’t worried or scared in the least. Instead, she was extremely happy.
“You keep talking about the Reincarnation Sun. Have you not realized that... there’s one less star in the sky?”
The Great Empress Vermilion Bird faltered mid-step and dazedly raised her head. Then, her dainty mouth slowly gaped open.
Their battle had been too intense just then, so she had been unable to observe the changes in the surroundings.
Now that Xu Xiaolan pointed it out, however, she immediately discovered this extremely unfathomable scene.
“How can this be... Where’s the Reincarnation Sun gone?
“Impossible, this is impossible...”
This turn of events had completely exceeded her wildest imaginations.
Just as the Great Empress Vermilion Bird descended into a state of shock and confusion, An Lin—who had activated his Void Body Mantra—suddenly materialized beside her body. Bringing with it the tremendous Five Elements Power, his Evil-Slaying Sword viciously slashed down toward the Vermilion Bird Heart Essence!
When the Great Empress Vermilion Bird came to her senses, it was already too late to remedy the situation.
“No!!!” the Great Empress Vermilion Bird shrieked in horror.
Crack...
Boom!
The Vermilion Bird Heart Essence was ruthlessly sliced into two again!
