Chapter 1922: Fury

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

An Lin had a nagging sense of déjà vu.

An enthusiastic Great Empress Vermilion Bird, a brilliant opportunity that descended from the heavens, and a flustered and dazed Xiaolan…

An Lin mulled over this for a while. Why does this seem so similar to when I first met Daolord Lu Ya?

F*ck! This isn’t a trap, right?

An Lin suddenly became a little panicked. At this moment, he saw the Great Empress Vermilion Bird holding Xu Xiaolan’s hand and leading her into the distance. He immediately sprinted off after them.

The Great Empress Vermilion Bird turned toward the Six Vermilion Bird Sages and calmly issued an order, “I’m going to take fellow cultivator Xu Xiaolan to the Vermilion Bird Spell Altar. Raise your guards and protect the altar!”

The Six Vermilion Bird Sages immediately bowed and accepted the command.

“We’ll definitely guard the altar well!”

“I’m willing to risk death to serve the Great Empress Vermilion Bird!”

“Is Her Majesty truly not going to change her mind…?”

The eyes of the Six Vermilion Bird Sages became red as they gazed at the female who was dressed in a red feather dress.

“My mind is made up. From today onward, Xu Xiaolan is your new Vermilion Bird!” The female turned and walked away after giving this simple reply. She didn’t turn back to look at the emotionally sobbing Six Vermilion Bird Sages.

After a short while, a complex and densely carved spell formation appeared before their eyes.

The level of this spell formation was extremely high—it had already reached the God of Creation Stage, to be exact. It thus possessed a supreme realm-creating might.

In the center of the spell formation, there rested a gigantic statue of a soaring Vermilion Bird. It measured a whopping ten thousand feet in length, and it carried a giant circular spell altar on its back. Like a field of hitodama, thousands of different divine flames hovered above this spell altar. An Lin couldn’t help but gasp in admiration upon seeing this.

“Fellow cultivator An Lin, how about you wait outside the spell formation? I’ll bring Xiaolan into the Vermilion Bird Spell Altar to carry out the Holy Berth handover ceremony.” The Great Empress Vermilion Bird’s eyes rippled like water as she looked at An Lin. She was extremely enchanting, and it was almost impossible to refuse her request.

“No, I also want to enter the spell altar. After all, I’m Xiaolan’s personal bodyguard.” An Lin barely hesitated before immediately rejecting the Great Empress Vermilion Bird’s suggestion.

How could he, An Lin, be missing from the Holy Berth handover ceremony?

The Great Empress Vermilion Bird looked slightly upset. “But… if you get too close, you might disturb me while I’m conducting the Holy Berth handover ceremony. If that occurs, then fellow cultivator Xiaolan will also be affected. It’s not worth the risk…”

Xu Xiaolan also expressed her opinion upon hearing this. “It’s fine. If An Lin’s nearby, then I’ll feel more relaxed. Let him stay by my side.”

Great Empress Vermilion Bird: “…”

Under Xu Xiaolan’s forceful requests, the noblest being of the Vermilion Bird Tribe eventually gave in and allowed An Lin to enter. However, she requested that An Lin keep at least one thousand meters away from them.

In no time, the Great Empress Vermilion Bird and Xu Xiaolan began the Holy Berth handover ceremony.

On paper, this handover was an extremely simple process. After the Great Empress Vermilion Bird found a successor, she had to willingly sever her connection with the Vermilion Bird Heart Essence. Then, the successor would refine the Vermilion Bird Heart Essence and henceforth succeed the supreme Holy Berth.

However, this process wasn’t as simple as it sounded.

Finding a suitable and qualified successor was immensely difficult, and perfectly severing the Vermilion Bird Heart Essence from the original owner’s body was also immensely hard. Successfully completing this process was almost as hard as stealing the sky and putting up a sham sun.

The hidden dangers that were laced throughout this handover process were extremely unpredictable.

Xu Xiaolan never would’ve envisioned things to play out this way. She had initially wanted to settle some karma, yet she was now mysteriously about to succeed the Holy Vermilion Bird Beast’s Holy Berth… Although, succeeding this position and freeing the Great Empress Vermilion Bird from her suppression could also be seen as a way of repaying her debt of gratitude. To Xu Xiaolan, however, this was an immeasurable immortal fortune.

How mysterious fate was…

It was so mysterious that even Xu Xiaolan was feeling a little terrified herself.

Why am I so fortunate?

This was the question that was floating around Xu Xiaolan’s mind.

Following the Great Empress Vermilion Bird’s instructions, she manipulated her fingers and formed several divine seals.

The Great Empress Vermilion Bird also shut her eyes and recited strings of mystical incantations. These were all utterances that An Lin couldn’t understand. However, he could sense that they were some kind of peculiar rhythm that could connect to the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth.

The blood-red Vermilion Bird Heart Essence span rapidly as it hovered between the two females. As it span, it also unleashed an eternal and undying aura.

“Sacrifice your origin blood essence to the Vermilion Bird Heart Essence and try to have it accept you.” The Great Empress Vermilion Bird suddenly opened her limpid blue eyes.

Xu Xiaolan cut her wrist open upon hearing this. Then, she allowed some of her origin blood essence to flow toward the Vermilion Bird Heart Essence.

Her blood trickled forward like a thin stream before fusing into the crimson-red bead.

A sinister red glow instantly erupted from the bead. It pulsated continuously, and its color also became increasingly rich and pure.

Xu Xiaolan let out a stifled groan as the color slowly drained from her face. Even her aura became slightly weaker. Right now, the cut on her wrist still hadn’t healed, and the origin blood essence in her body was still streaming out toward the crimson-red bead.

An Lin’s heart ached as he watched this. He furrowed his brows slightly and murmured, “Isn’t absorbing a few drops of origin blood essence enough? Why does this bead need to absorb so much?”

As if to dispel An Lin’s worries, the Great Empress Vermilion Bird quickly gave him an explanation by saying, “The process of the refining of the Vermilion Bird Heart Essence is naturally one of nearing death before being reborn anew. One needs to satisfy the Vermilion Bird Heart Essence’s desire for origin blood essence and also allow the Vermilion Bird Heart Essence to take on the majority of its refiner’s aura. Only then will the Heart Essence be able to fuse together perfectly with its host. As such, quite a large amount of blood essence will be required.”

An Lin’s anxiety wasn’t appeased by her explanation. He looked at Xu Xiaolan and found that her condition had already deteriorated to an extremely poor state. Moreover, she seemed to shrink back instinctively, as if fearful of something.

“Xiaolan, are you okay?” An Lin asked in a panicked voice. “Can you still endure?”

Xu Xiaolan’s brows were locked into a frown, and her pretty face was becoming paler and paler by the second. “I-I can keep going…”

An Lin was extremely anxious. Holy Berths and whatnot were all secondary matters. In his mind, Xu Xiaolan’s safety was the single most important thing. With this in mind, his eyes gradually started to become snowy-white.

Divine Inspection Technique!

As An Lin looked at Xu Xiaolan, he discovered that her condition was extremely strange. Not only was her origin blood essence flowing out at a startling rate, but there was even another wisp of aura flowing out of her body and fusing into the Vermilion Bird Heart Essence.

What on earth was the aura leaving Xu Xiaolan’s body?

An Lin couldn’t tell using his Divine Inspection Technique.

He turned his gaze toward the Great Empress Vermilion Bird. However, he discovered that her body was enveloped in a thin film, and he was completely unable to observe her current situation.

Heh… you think I can’t see through that film?

Sorry, but this is a matter relating to Xu Xiaolan’s safety. No matter what it is, I, An Lin, am going to see it clearly with my own two eyes!

An Lin didn’t dare to rashly interrupt the Holy Berth handover ceremony. However, this didn’t mean that he had to unconditionally accept this kind of unfamiliar process. He had to make heads or tails of Xu Xiaolan’s true condition.

An Lin’s eyes became clear and transparent. It reflected all matter in this expanse of heaven and earth, and at the same time, countless strings of information also hovered before his eyes. All mysteries that existed before him were unraveled before his eyes.

Divine Simulation Technique!

An Lin’s divine sense power was rapidly consumed.

At the same time, he was finally able to observe Xu Xiaolan’s true condition. Of course, he could also observe the Great Empress Vermilion Bird’s true condition as well.

Initially, he was stunned. It was as if he couldn’t believe what he was seeing.

In the next instant, however, this shock instantly turned into a raging fury!

Boom!

Boundless flames of rage surged through heaven and earth.

Meanwhile, An Lin’s voice sounded like it was going to pierce through the heavens as he yelled, “Xiaolan! Hurry up and stop!”
