While Lin Wu was done with the cleaning of the Skull god's traces, the Silver Beak Sky Soar Eagle had begun her own cleaning session.

~SHUA~

Endless flames spread out from her body as they got more and more intense.

~PIIIIIIII~

The Silver Beak Sky Soar Eagle lifted her head and raised out an echoing cry. A meter wide sphere rose up from her body and glowed in a red light.

This was her Dao shell and the small flame that flicker within it was none other than her Dao embryo. The small flame within the Dao shell flickered and suddenly let out a blinding light.

While its size did not change, its power certainly did. The Dao shell started to rise up into the sky and became almost like a second sun in the sky. The only difference was that the real sun was yellow in color while this one was Vermillion.

~BOOM~

The sound of an explosion was heard as a torrent of flames burst out from the Dao shell. The Dao embryo kept on producing Vermillion flames that scorched the earth once again. But this time, their power seemed to be even more than when the Silver Beak Sky Soar Eagle used it to fight the followers of the skull god.

It was evident from this that her bloodline was still improving passively even now. The Silver Beak Sky Soar Eagle had stopped her assimilation prematurely because the followers of the skull god had created a lot of commotion.

As time passed, here Vermillion flames will only keep on getting stronger and stronger until eventually all the bloodline essence she had consumed was fully assimilated into her body, completing her transformation.

Lin Wu, who was observing it, all felt awed at it.

"Damn, the heat is still intense from here." Lin Wu said.

The platform was over a kilometer away from where the sun like Dao Shell was, but even then Lin Wu felt like he was sitting next to a blazing fire pit. Thankfully, the flames were directed in a cone shape rather than spread out in all directions, or Lin Wu would have been affected as well along with the platform.

Lin Wu didn't really want the platform to get damaged much either, as he reckoned he could make use of it later on. The only problem was for the system to figure out the rest of its formation so that he could make it work away from this area.

The platform was more like a closed circuit transport system that moved in a specific set path. Making it go past that was impossible in its current state, as the formations themselves didn't allow that.

If he wanted to change that, it would be the same as remaking the formations entirely. Previously, the system would have been unable to do this right away and would have needed a lot more information to do so.

But the memories of the skull god had allowed the system to upgrade its data banks by multiple times and now he had a lot of new information related to all cultivation matters, including formations and arrays.

"System, begin the modification of the platform so that we can use it later as well." Lin Wu ordered.

~DING~

TASK ASSIGNED: Transport Platform Formation Array modification

TIME REQUIRED: 2 hours, 11 minutes, 9 seconds.

—

With the confirmation notification, Lin Wu nodded his head. The time needed was very reasonable and Lin Wu didn't think it was much.

"Well then… now to observe the Silver Beak Sky Soar Eagle and also to check my own gains from all this…" Lin Wu muttered to himself.

Below, the flames of the Vermillion bird had covered the entire area of the ruins, all thirteen circles, and was now spreading past that. The speed of its spread was really fast and Lin Wu knew that it wouldn't be long till it covered the entire Dread Coil Marsh.

"Though… this is bound to bring in a lot of attention to the area." Lin Wu muttered to himself.

"But it won't matter to me anyway as I'll be long gone~" Lin Wu said with a chuckle.

~shua~shua~shua~

The Silver Beak Sky Soar Eagle kept on flapping her wings, as if fanning the flames and making them grow stronger and stronger. The ruins were completely drowned out by the flames now, and all the corpses lying around had been reduced to ash.

They were now nearing the twisting and coiling trees that were spread everywhere in the Dread Coil marsh. These trees that were rather resistant to normal attacks were like dry tinder in front of the Vermillion flames and were ignited instantly.

The flames kept on spreading and the few living creatures of the marsh were also killed by it. But this was still good for the area as these animals and creatures were the victims of the corruption caused by the Skull god as well.

The flames weren't just burning on the surface though, as they managed to penetrate the ground as well. The Silver Beak Sky Soar Eagle was throughly roasting the soil, making sure all traces of the Skull god were being taken care of.

Some parts of the rocks and stones had already melted into puddles of hot lava while the soil was also fusing up to become hard stones. It would not be long till it would start to melt as well.

The different thing about the Vermillion flames was that the lava was no impediment to its flow. Rather than that, it actually allowed it to spread through it easily and let the Vermillion flames penetrate even deeper into the ground.

One could only imagine the geological change this would be causing. Lin Wu had already seen and experienced the power of the Aquadream Sea lotus, who was also a Dao Treading realm expert.

That creature alone had created an entire sea in a large forest and mountains. It was only fair if the Silver Beak Sky Soar Eagle could also do the same, if not better. After all, her bloodline belonged to the Vermillion bird, which was far superior to that of the Lotus.
