The ground beside suddenly split open with a gigantic crack, and a colorful Phoenix appeared slowly in front of the group.
"Vermilion Bird Venerable?"
The expression of the White Tiger Venerable changed imdiately, "How could she be here?"
The leader-level beast beside was also taken aback. After glancing at the Vermilion Bird Venerable, he shouted sharply, "No wonder I always had a familiar feeling, I thought it was the appearance of the White Tiger Venerable that reminded of the scene from years ago, but it turns out you’ve been hiding in the shadows all along?"
"It seems like you knew long ago that one day I would be resurrected?"
The Vermilion Bird Venerable stood proudly in mid-air, glanced at the leader-level beast with disdain, and spoke, "There’s one thing you got wrong, it’s not that I just arrived here, but I have stayed here for hundreds of years for this day."
"Damn it!"
The leader-level beast’s face turned much uglier instantly, after all, he has yet to regain his peak strength. Only by absorbing all the remnants here into his divine body could he truly achieve the strength that a leader-level beast possesses.
If it weren’t for the four venerables suppressing him back then, how would he have been trapped here all along?
But now, he was far from being a match for the Vermilion Bird Venerable.
The leader-level beast grabbed the White Tiger Venerable and fiercely threw him towards the Vermilion Bird Venerable.
And he himself turned into a stream of light, preparing to rush out of the barrier.
As long as he had a bit of ti, he could restore himself to his peak state, so naturally, he wouldn’t need to fear a re Vermilion Bird Venerable.
Upon seeing the face of the White Tiger Venerable, the Vermilion Bird Venerable hesitated for a mont, and her action speed slowed down significantly. However, it was precisely because of this that allowed the leader-level beast to reach the entrance of the barrier.
"Absolutely cannot let him escape!"
The Vermilion Bird Venerable shouted delicately.
Wang Zhan, without a hint of hesitation, swiftly blocked in front of the leader-level beast, raising his fists and striking fiercely at the beast’s face.
He had been pondering the strange scales on the leader-level beast all along, overlooking his weakness.
The face was his Achilles’ heel!
The leader-level beast’s expression changed, instinctively raising his hands to shield his face, then glanced back at the direction behind him, clearly caring little about Wang Zhan’s assault. He was more worried about the Vermilion Bird Venerable behind him.
Unfortunately, after Wang Zhan’s brief obstruction, the Vermilion Bird Venerable had already arrived behind the leader-level beast.
In the hands of the Vermilion Bird Venerable appeared a Flaming Long Fan. With a wave, a massive curtain of fire crashed directly onto the leader-level beast’s body!
The leader-level beast imdiately cried out in pain as raging flas engulfed him.
No matter how he struggled, he couldn’t extinguish those flas.
Wang Zhan stepped back a few paces, quietly watching the struggling leader-level beast.
As the Vermilion Bird Venerable waved her fan a few more tis, the intensity of the flas increased massively. In no ti, the leader-level beast had turned into nothing but a carcass.
The White Tiger Venerable, standing at a distance, was stunned in place. As he was about to retreat, he saw the Vermilion Bird Venerable already standing before him. With her finger touching the White Tiger Venerable’s brow, he began to tremble uncontrollably.
Soon, he lost consciousness and fell directly to the ground.
Wang Zhan hurried over to the Vermilion Bird Venerable, quickly asking, "You haven’t killed him, have you?"
The Vermilion Bird Venerable smiled faintly and then said, "The White Tiger Venerable and I are from the sa order, so how could I harm his physical body? I rely used so ans to disperse the Inner Demon."
"Then why hasn’t the White Tiger Venerable awakened yet?"
Wang Zhan pointed at the White Tiger Venerable and asked.
The Vermilion Bird Venerable replied coolly, "During this period, the power of the Inner Demon grew stronger, and the White Tiger Venerable relentlessly suppressed it, consuming a lot of energy. Now, with the Inner Demon taking over again, the White Tiger Venerable is already at the end of his rope. How easy could it be to wake up now?"
"But you needn’t worry, as long as I help him recuperate for a while, he will recover."
Wang Zhan, only then, breathed a sigh of relief.
Beside him, the Vermilion Bird Venerable glanced at the Deep Fire Blade floating mid-air and the fiery red beams of light, then smiled and said, "I didn’t expect all your cultivation techniques to be related to the fire attribute as well?"
Wang Zhan nodded heavily, "It’s rather a coincidence. I don’t know why everything I obtain, whether techniques or equipnt, relates to the fire attribute. But my understanding of the fire attribute is not strong; compared to you, there’s naturally a world of difference. That’s why my attacks couldn’t even shake that leader-level beast just now."
"Your flas, however, are incredibly terrifying."
Wang Zhan clearly rembered the scene he had just witnessed.
The fire screen he created couldn’t even break through the defense of a leader-level demonic beast, yet the flas emitted by the Vermilion Bird Venerable could incinerate a leader-level demonic beast to ashes, highlighting the gap between them.
The Vermilion Bird Venerable smiled and said, "There is naturally no comparison between you and , after all, I have been cultivating for a thousand years, and have been connected with fire since birth."
"Plus, there’s this magical artifact in my hand."
As she spoke, the Vermilion Bird Venerable revealed the fan in her hand, then continued, "The flas this fan emits can burn all things under Heaven and Earth, giving a certain enhancent."
Wang Zhan’s eyes imdiately lit up; if he could control such flas, his strength would also advance rapidly.
What kind of person is the Vermilion Bird Venerable?
With one glance, she had already seen through Wang Zhan’s thoughts.
She said flatly, "Such flas as mine are considered my Innate Heart Fla, so even if I were to pass it on to you, you couldn’t withstand the pain brought by that legacy, and in the end, it would explode your bloodline to death."
"So you better stop plotting against ."
Wang Zhan smiled, leaned over to the Vermilion Bird Venerable, and then said, "How can you know the result without even trying?"
The Vermilion Bird Venerable was taken aback, "Do you know what you are saying?"
"Rest assured, I have always liked to take risky actions. Since it can give my strength a certain breakthrough, I naturally won’t miss such a good opportunity."
Wang Zhan crossed his arms, glanced at the Vermilion Bird Venerable beside him, and continued, "As long as you give a chance, whether I live or die is my own business."
The Vermilion Bird Venerable squinted her eyes, staring at Wang Zhan for a long while before smiling and saying, "I’ve sensed a trace of familiar sll on you for a long ti, especially when you just displayed the Dragon Claw, I guessed that you have so connection with the Azure Dragon Venerable, but everyone knows the Azure Dragon Venerable is an old stubborn."
"His lifelong learning would never be taught to others. Now it seems you indeed have so rits, and your character is sowhat similar to his."
"In the end, you helped today, so I will pass my Innate Heart Fla to you."
"However, while accepting the Innate Heart Fla, your body will have to endure the burning of raging fire, which far exceeds your imagination, and you must let the Innate Heart Fla travel through your ridians and converge above your heart, only then can you use the Innate Heart Fla."
Wang Zhan nodded heavily, sat cross-legged, clearly ready to undergo refinent.
The Vermilion Bird Venerable gently raised her slender finger, and a ball of fla appeared on her fingertip. She touched Wang Zhan’s forehead, and the fla fused into Wang Zhan’s body.
Standing aside, the Vermilion Bird Venerable said slowly, "The road ahead is for you to walk alone."
At this mont, Wang Zhan could no longer hear her words; he only felt his body being painfully torn apart, far beyond his imagination.
Yet, despite this, Wang Zhan gritted his teeth and endured the burn of the Innate Heart Fla.
Ti passed second by second.
Large beads of sweat appeared on Wang Zhan’s forehead, and his clothes were soaked by hot sweat.
Moreover, Wang Zhan’s face had turned bright red, like a boiled crab.
But these were not the main points.
At this mont, Wang Zhan’s facial features were twisted together, and his expression hinted at the torture he was enduring.
The Vermilion Bird Venerable continued standing by his side, acting as his protector.
Three days and nights passed.
With a loud bang, Wang Zhan soared into the sky, the whole person akin to a blazing fla.
The Vermilion Bird Venerable smiled slightly, looked at Wang Zhan, and then said flatly, "The Azure Dragon Venerable really has a keen eye, it’s unexpected that this young man has such strong willpower, even capable of suppressing the Innate Heart Fla."
"It seems his future accomplishnts should not be underestimated."
After venting, Wang Zhan returned to the Vermilion Bird Venerable, respectfully looked at her with his fists clasped, and then said, "Thank you, Venerable, for bestowing the Innate Heart Fla."
Wang Zhan could feel that his strength was now steadily improving, as the intensity of his own fire attribute increased, enhancing both his techniques and his equipnt.
The leap had exceeded his imagination.
However, what frustrated Wang Zhan was that he hadn’t broken through to the realm of the Tribal Patriarch.
It seems that in the upcoming period, he still needs to utilize the System’s advantage to hunt so powerful demonic beasts to make up for his cultivation deficiency.
The Vermilion Bird Venerable standing beside him gently patted his shoulder, smiled, and said, "This ti in solving the leader-level beasts, it was not solely my rit."
