Chapter 1469 - Vermillion Bird Pavilion

Chapter 1469 – Vermillion Bird Pavilion

“Has someone managed to track me down?” Zhao Feng’s eyes dimmed.

This was logically impossible. He had not noticed anything strange before entering the Burning Heaven Sea, but now that he was training in the center of the Burning Heaven Sea, he was ambushed by a God Lord.

Moreover, his attacker had a strength that could not be underestimated and was even skilled in a Law of Fire. In the environment of the Burning Heaven Sea, this God Lord wielded unprecedented power.

“Die!” A red-haired elder emerged from the red light, his eyes vicious.

Kabooom!

His palms fired off one blazing palm after another, which mobilized the endless flames of the Burning Heaven Sea. At a glance, it appeared like several massive burning mountains were coming toward him.

Zhao Feng gripped his Chaos Origin Divine Sword and quickly activated his Chaos Heaven Void Ring.

Swish! Boom! Boom!

He swung his Chaos Origin Divine Sword at the palms of flame. As for those attacks that he could not respond to in time, he had the Chaos Heaven Void Ring absorb them.

In this dangerous forbidden ground where the surrounding environment was packed with powerful energy, the Chaos Heaven Void Ring could constantly absorb the energy and empower itself.

Whoosh!

After fending off the first wave of attacks from the red-haired elder, Zhao Feng tried to pull away from the elder.

“We’ve never met before. Might Sir have mistaken me for someone else?” Zhao Feng looked at this foe and calmly asked.

He sensed that this red-haired elder purely wanted to kill him, not seize the Ninth God Eye.

“Whether or not I know you, it doesn’t matter!” The red-haired elder grunted before charging forward again.

Swish!

A long saber of fiery clouds appeared in his hand, gleaming with searing light.

In the previous clash, the red-haired elder sensed Zhao Feng’s true level of strength. Understanding that this opponent was harder to deal with than he first imagined, he took out his supreme-quality divine artifact.

Swoosh swoosh!

The saber fired off blazing beams of light, rivers of flame that surged through the world.

“Hmph!” Zhao Feng coldly snorted.

From the response just now, he realized that this red-haired elder had not come for the Ninth God Eye. He might have other reasons for wanting to kill him, or perhaps he just liked killing people. But since the elder wanted to kill him, Zhao Feng didn’t need to keep wasting time on conversation.

“Chaos Origin Tribulation Lightning Sword!” The broad Chaos Origin sword in his hand immediately began to crackle with Tribulation Lightning energy. In a flash, the Chaos Origin Divine Sword was completely covered in lightning, turning it into a Chaos Origin Tribulation Lightning Sword.

Boom!

With one slash, the Chaos Origin Tribulation Lightning Sword cleaved through the sea of fire.

“Eh?” The red-haired elder was alarmed. The Divine Power that Zhao Feng used just now was extremely unusual.

Boom! Bang! Crash!

The bolt of energy from the Chaos Origin Tribulation Lightning Sword struck one of the flame blades and immediately cut it in two. Moreover, while consuming energy, the Chaos Origin Tribulation Lightning bolt was also absorbing energy to strengthen itself.

Clingclang!

The red-haired elder waved his fire cloud saber, shattering Zhao Feng’s attack.

“This person...” The red-haired elder became pensive.

At this moment, a powerful energy appeared behind Zhao Feng.

“Someone from the Swift Wind Gate!? Retreat!” The red-haired elder grimaced and immediately fled.

Not long after, an azure-robed middle-aged man arrived.

“If Good Sir was able to defeat the Vermillion Bird Pavilion’s Crimson Elder, you must assuredly possess extraordinary strength. Of which faction is Good Sir a God Lord of? Perhaps this one has heard of your renown!” The azure-robed man smiled, exuding a refreshing aura in the middle of the Burning Heaven Sea.

This one is Zhao Wang, a newly-advanced God Lord who happened to be passing through this place. For some reason, I was suddenly attacked by the Crimson Elder of the Vermillion Bird Pavilion.” Zhao Feng did not state his real name, instead using his clone’s as he probed for information. He wanted to know the situation after this Crimson Elder suddenly left.

“The people of the Vermillion Bird Pavilion have an extremely violent nature, and they enjoy killing people and stealing their treasures. If Good Sir does not mind, you can pay a visit to our Swift Wind Gate.” The azure-robed man smiled as he issued an invitation to Zhao Feng.

“I must refuse. I’m only passing through and don’t plan to stay for long.” Zhao Feng refused.

Even before the man had arrived, Zhao Feng’s Dream God Eye noticed him. At that time, the eyes of this azure-robed man were ruthless and tinged with killing intent, but later on, the man noticed that Zhao Feng was battling with the Crimson Elder, so he changed his expression.

Zhao Feng had only ever heard the names of Vermillion Bird Pavilion and Swift Wind Gate, but he understood little about them.

“Since that is the case, I will bid farewell. However, Good Sir is already nearing the central region of the Burning Heaven Sea. If you continue any deeper, not even a First Heaven God Lord will be able to endure the flames!” The man displayed a warmhearted expression by warning Zhao Feng.

“Goodbye.” With this nonchalant farewell, Zhao Feng slowly drew away from the man.

This time, he did not continue any deeper into the Burning Heaven Sea, instead choosing to remain on the outskirts and observe the situation.

“Is there something strange in this place?” Zhao Feng was rather confused.

Vermillion Bird Pavilion and Swift Wind Gate were five-star factions of the Tianhe Zone, but why would the God Lord experts of these five-star factions gather in the Burning Heaven Sea?

Upon careful observation, he was able to sense many weak Divine Power auras within the Burning Heaven Sea. It was obvious that there had been quite a few people in the Burning Heaven Sea as of late.

As a forbidden ground, this place should have been nearly deserted. The more dangerous a forbidden ground, the more of a rarity it was to see anyone else. Thus, there was definitely something strange going on here.

At a certain place in the center of the Burning Heaven Sea, the azure-robed middle-aged man stopped, upon which a spatial tunnel appeared in front of him.

Whoosh!

He entered the tunnel, upon which it immediately closed. He rapidly flew, quickly entering a palace made of white crystal.

Bzzzz!

There was a throne of azure jade set up in the hall. Suddenly, a dazzling white figure appeared on this throne. One could vaguely see a timeworn elder wearing a blue robe within this light, his body exuding a despotic majesty that filled the palace.

“What’s the situation?” the blue-robed elder casually asked.

“It wasn’t someone from Vermillion Bird Pavilion,” the middle-aged man calmly replied.

You didn’t eliminate or drive him away?” the blue-robed elder casually asked.

It was best if outsiders did not know of their objective. Those who knew would either have to temporarily join Swift Wind Gate or else become Swift Wind Gate’s enemy.

This person might be even stronger than Vermillion Bird Pavilion’s Crimson Elder. Although I gave him an invitation, he did not accept.” The middle-aged man’s eyes dimmed.

The man proceeded to describe in detail what had occurred.

“Keep an eye on him. Vermillion Bird Pavilion definitely takes this person to be a member of our Swift Wind Gate. Once that person is in danger, assist him and do your best to recruit him. If he insists on leaving, then forget it....” The blue- robed elder’s eyes flashed.

Yes, Gate Master. If he is willing to help us, our chances of obtaining that item will increase!” the azure-robed man sternly said.

For the next few days, Zhao Feng continued to wander around the Burning Heaven Sea, but he did not venture into the center of the Burning Heaven Sea, at most wandering around the region near the center. During this period, he was both training himself and investigating the oddities of this place.

“I’m being followed by Swift Wind Gate.” Zhao Feng had long ago discovered that people were following him. Although they possessed extremely high-level concealment skills, they could not escape Zhao Feng’s eyes.

But as they had not displayed any obvious hostility yet, Zhao Feng had no plans to attack them.

Suddenly, an oppressive energy exploded out of the sea of fire.

“Oh no!” Zhao Feng sensed intense hostility.

But the azure-robed middle-aged man hiding far behind him was delighted. “Vermillion Bird Pavilion still couldn’t hold itself back. Haha, if this person is willing to join our Swift Wind Gate, then I will truly have to thank Vermillion Bird Pavilion!”

The azure-robed man continued to remain in hiding for the moment.

Boom!

An old man with rough and dark yellow skin, thick brows, and large eyes, and dressed in a yellow robe, charged out of the sea of fire.

“Die!” The moment this elder appeared, he exuded formidable Divine Power. Dark yellow and heavy energy appeared that caused Zhao Feng’s body to pause.

“Second Heaven!?” Shock appeared in Zhao Feng’s eyes.

He had predicted that this newcomer was from the Vermillion Bird Pavilion, but he hadn’t expected for it to send a Second Heaven God Lord.

Boom!

Immense surges of Divine Power gathered above Zhao Feng’s head into a massive mountain. The searing of the boundless flames made this enormous mountain show a hint of dark red, increasing the pressure it exuded.

At this moment:

Thwish!

The azure-robed middle-aged man flew out.

“Friend, you’ve been targeted by Vermillion Bird Pavilion. This person is the Second Heaven God Lord Vastsoul! Let’s withdraw!” The azure-robed man rapidly approached Zhao Feng, acting like a bystander who had come to help out.

Zhao Feng was powerful and had his own tricks up his sleeve. Even if they couldn’t beat a Second Heaven God Lord, the two of them working together were wholly capable of retreating with their lives. Moreover, he could use this chance to recruit Zhao Feng and add another powerful force to the ranks of the Swift Wind Gate.

Boom! Bang!

The two of them worked together to pulverize the massive mountain in the sky.

“So it really was the Swift Wind Gate! No matter what sort of scheme you have, this old man will make sure you don’t leave!” God Lord Vastsoul sneered as he charged forward, his body shrouded in astonishing energy.

“Retreat!” The azure-robed man ignored God Lord Vastsoul. As long as he could take Zhao Feng back with him to Swift Wind Gate, it would still be considered a kind of victory.

But at this moment, the distant sea of fire exploded.

“Die!” A red-haired elder suddenly appeared. This was none other than the person who had ambushed Zhao Feng before – the Crimson Elder.

“Not good, there’s another one!” The azure-robed man grimaced. He hadn’t expected for the Vermillion Bird Pavilion to send not just a Second Heaven God Lord, but even conceal the Crimson Elder nearby.

Boom! Bang! Crash!

Violent waves of Divine Power surged toward Zhao Feng and the azure-robed man.

The Crimson Elder and a Second Heaven God Lord! If we stay, we’ll probably die here! The middle-aged man’s mind was whirring.

A few moments later, he made his decision.

“You hold the rear! I’ll go back and get reinforcements!” After saying this, the azure-robed man began to bum his Divine Power and circulate the power of his Wind Law. Azure winds began to circle around his body. Gradually, his entire being fused with this wind.

Thwish!

The azure-robed man transformed into faint azure light that sped off with explosive speed. Unless they were skilled in speed, not even Second Heaven God Lords would be able to catch up.

“Ha, there was nothing I could do”After fleeing some distance, the azure-robed man sighed.

Although he could not recruit Zhao Feng, he ended up framing him. Zhao Feng was facing God Lord Vastsoul and the Crimson Elder alone, assuring his doom. If he could not become an ally of the Swift Wind Gate, having him killed by the Vermillion Bird Pavilion was fine as well.

“Kid, die!” God Lord Vastsoul brought his palms together, creating dark yellow walls of earth to Zhao Feng’s left and

Boom!

The walls suddenly closed in, exuding immense pressure as they did, seemingly attempting to crush Zhao Feng into pulp.

“Chaos Heaven Black Hole!” Zhao Feng immediately mobilized a vast amount of Chaos Origin Divine Power.

The ring around him began to darken in color, turning black and beginning to exude an even more powerful distorting and devouring power.

Boom! Bang!

The dark yellow walls slammed together. The shockwave caused vast waves of flame to surge across the sea of fire. Suddenly, the center of the explosion began to emit a powerful suction.

Boom! Swoosh!

The power of the explosions and the Fire energy began to converge on the center.

“It seems like I’ll have to use all my power!” Zhao Feng’s eyes darkened.

After his training, even without using his God Eye, he could still contend against a Second Heaven God Lord.

As the dust settled, a pitch-black sphere appeared where the explosion had occurred, exuding profound chaotic energy.

“Eh?” God Lord Vastsoul was taken aback.

He believed that, even if Zhao Feng wasn’t killed by this strike, he would at least be heavily injured, but this result was completely unexpected.
