Chapter 1969: The Powerful Vermilion Birds

Hong Dou was unable to believe what he was seeing.

That white-robed man was so dazzling that his eyes were hurting just from looking at him.

This was a man who had once fought on par with him, but he was now able to impress his will upon a war of the highest caliber on the Tai Chu Continent. It simply didn’t feel plausible.

“An Lin… Who would have thought that your rise would be so terrifying…” Hong Dou looked at the man in the distance with a hint of yearning in his eyes. “It would be great if you could put an end to this war…”

The thought only appeared in his mind for a fleeting second before he shook his head.

An outcome of a war at this level was not something one person could decide.

The true power of the Heavenly Human Tribe was still hidden below the tip of the iceberg. Even if An Lin was reigning supreme over this battlefield for now, he was still no match for the paramount Heavenly Gods.

The crisp cry of a bird suddenly sounded.

Vermilion Bird Nan Li spread its wings, and pure, scorching Nan Li Holy Flames fell from the sky in a massive wave, instantly incinerating over ten thousand Creation Realm living beings into nothingness.

Hong Dou was given a massive fright. This cataclysmic disaster was taking place not far away from him.

He immediately hid behind a huge mountain.

The Nan Li Holy Flames incinerated all things as Vermilion Bird Nan Li left a trail of scorching death in its wake.

Half of the mountain Hong Dou was hiding behind had been melted away while Hong Dou himself had received light burns. This was all because Vermilion Bird Nan Li was passing by from a distance.

He was a fire-type cultivator, and as such, it was a very humbling experience to be unintentionally hurt by the flames of another powerful being.

Similar things were happening elsewhere on the battlefield. After all, there were nine of these Dao Integration Stage Vermilion Birds, and they burned everything in their paths, screaming “Long live Great Empress Vermilion Bird” the entire time.

In particular, the six Vermilion Bird Sages had recovered most of their strengths after a period of rest and recuperation. At their peak, their combined powers could destroy an entire planet, and they were one of the supreme weapons of the Vermilion Bird Tribe. At this moment, they were releasing their holy flames to their hearts’ content, resulting in annihilation far beyond what a nuclear explosion was capable of.

In just a few minutes, several million enemies had been slain by the boundless holy flames.

The entire battle had been flipped on its head.

An Lin was virtually invincible, while the Vermilion Birds led the Kingdom of the Nine States United Army on a glorious resurgence as they began to launch their counterattack.

“Stop them!” The Heavenly Human Tribe Heaven Pioneer Stage Great General all sprang into action as they summoned the power of the heavens to snipe the oncoming Vermilion Birds.

“I’ll hold that one off!” A powerful Heavenly Human Tribe Great General took the initiative and charged toward one of the Vermilion Birds that was releasing golden flames.

He chanted a mantra as he raised one finger to the sky before pointing another finger at Vermilion Bird Huan Jin.

Boom!

Mighty power suddenly fell from the heavens.

This was a pillar of white light, and it was imbued with an extremely terrifying sealing power. The pillar of light crashed violently into Vermilion Bird Huan Jin’s body, crushing it to the ground.

“So what if you’re a Vermilion Bird? You won’t escape judgment from the heavens.” The Great General looked down upon the Vermilion Bird with a cold, haughty expression.

However, all of a sudden, Vermilion Bird Huan Jin disappeared, leaving only a massive hole in the ground, as if the white pillar of light had directly struck the ground.

The Heavenly Human Tribe Great General’s expression shifted.

At this moment, a scorching heatwave swept toward him.

A Vermilion Bird had appeared before him without any forewarning, and it wore a smile on its face.

“Judgment from the heavens? Only Great Empress Vermilion Bird can judge me!”

Boundless golden flames instantly engulfed the Heavenly Human Tribe Great General.

Vermilion Bird Huan Jin’s forte lay in creating fire illusionary realms. The Heavenly Human Tribe Great General had clearly fallen for its trap just then and had died without even knowing how.

From a third-person perspective, it looked like the Heavenly Human Tribe Great General had blasted a pillar of holy light at the ground like a stupid c*nt, before flexing for no reason, then being engulfed by Vermilion Bird Huan Jin’s holy flames and burned into nothingness.

All of the onlookers were shocked to see this. Weren’t these Vermilion Bird a little too powerful?

In reality, cultivators of the same cultivation base in the Realm of Stars were predominantly weaker than those on the Tai Chu Continent.

However, the six Vermilion Bird Sages were different. They had bloodlines that were very close to the Holy Beast bloodline and were far more powerful than the Dao Integration Stage super mighty figures in the Realm of Stars. Furthermore, they had been nourished by the power of Xu Xiaolan’s Vermilion Bird Heart Essence and were already showing signs of becoming more powerful than they once were.

The Heavenly Slaughter God was a little perturbed and was wondering if he should retreat.

At this moment, Yun Mengying’s attacks became even more ferocious and aggressive.

Not only that, but a Vermilion Bird with You Luo Holy Flames all over its body also pounced toward him.

“Insolent swine! You think you can meddle in this battle? Die!” The Heavenly Slaughter God flared up with rage and lashed out with his scythe.

Vermilion Bird You Luo was not fearful in the slightest as it launched holy flames imbued with extremely powerful heaven crushing true intent.

“Heaven Crushing Long Live Great Empress Vermilion Bird!”

Boom!

Violent, scorching flames clashed with the Heavenly Slaughter God’s scythe, and waves of fire exploded through the air. Vermilion Bird You Luo let loose a wail of anguish, and a ghastly wound could be seen on its wing.

The Heavenly Slaughter God was also blasted back a few steps by the holy flames with shock etched on his face.

How was this Vermilion Bird so powerful?

Yun Mengying was also astonished. What was that terrible name for the Heaven Crushing Technique? And how was it so powerful?

She was only stunned for a split second before she took advantage of this opportunity to attack the Heavenly Slaughter God.

At this moment, Vermilion Bird Bing Xin also rushed over to help her before yelling, “Long Long Live Great Empress Vermilion Bird”, upon which icy blue flames swept toward the Heavenly Slaughter God.

Alright, it looked like the name wasn’t important. They could just shout whatever they liked.

The names were cringeworthy, but the attacks were extremely devastating and very close to heavenly disciple candidate-level power, which was enough to pose a threat even to Heavenly Gods.

The two Vermilion Birds in conjunction with Yun Mengying were gradually gaining the upper hand over the Heavenly Slaughter God.

At this point in time, the most miserable heavenly disciple candidate was Michael.

He had been slain about a dozen times already, and he would have been dead long ago had it not been for his Holy Light Indestructible Body. He was still being pursued by the same Heavenly Goddess. This Heavenly Goddess possessed the power of emotions and was extremely tricky to deal with.

“I’ve already found a way to kill you.” The Heavenly Emotion Goddess smiled as a hint of ferocity appeared on her face. “I’ll destroy your Holy Light Indestructible Body, kill you, then escape…”

“Oh? You still think that you can escape?” a crisp, pleasant voice suddenly sounded.

Whoosh!

A red sword projection flashed through the air amid the cry of a Vermilion Bird before instantly slicing off one of the Heavenly Emotion Goddess’ arms!

This…

Everyone’s eyes widened upon seeing this.

The woman in the jade dress that had been disregarded by everyone was now making her presence known.
