Chapter 1923: Battle Against the Great Empress Vermilion Bird

After activating his Divine Simulation Technique, An Lin could see that Xu Xiaolan wasn’t losing just her origin blood essence. In addition to it, she was also losing her mystical aura of fate and soul!

As for the Great Empress Vermilion Bird, her connection with the Vermilion Bird Heart Essence was still extremely tight. She showed absolutely no sign of wanting to sever her connection with it. No matter how much origin blood essence Xu Xiaolan released, she still wouldn’t be able to refine the Vermilion Bird Heart Essence.

Meanwhile, the Vermilion Bird Heart Essence was absorbing Xu Xiaolan’s origin blood essence, fate, and soul through an extremely covert method. Then, it fed these into the Great Empress Vermilion Bird’s body…

The Great Empress Vermilion Bird wasn’t handing over her Holy Berth. Rather, she was sucking away Xu Xiaolan’s life force!

An Lin’s furious roar startled the two females who were still conducting the handover ceremony.

“An Lin?” Xu Xiaolan faltered slightly. She was unsure why An Lin had suddenly yelled at her to stop at such a critical moment. However, she still believed An Lin’s words unconditionally. She stopped releasing her origin blood essence before distancing herself from the location of the Vermilion Bird Heart Essence.

The Great Empress Vermilion Bird’s expression changed drastically. “Are you crazy?” she yelled. “Don’t stop! If you stop releasing your origin blood essence, then both of us will suffer a severe backlash from the Vermilion Bird Heart Essence! If it’s serious, then both our body and soul might be destroyed!”

Xu Xiaolan completely ignored the Great Empress Vermilion Bird’s warnings as she quickly retreated into the distance.

She had inferred many things from An Lin’s expression. It was extremely likely that this Holy Berth handover ceremony wasn’t what she had imagined it to be!

Sure enough, the discomfort that weighed on Xu Xiaolan’s mind rapidly dissipated as she retreated further and further from the Vermilion Bird Heart Essence. Along with it, the sensations of feebleness and pain that she experienced also started to gradually disappear.

“Puh…!” The Great Empress Vermilion Bird suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood.

M-hm, there was indeed a backlash. However, it seemed like only the Great Empress Vermilion Bird suffered from a backlash…

What did this prove? This proved that the true owner of the Vermilion Bird Heart Essence and the true host of the mysterious handover ceremony was still the Great Empress Vermilion Bird. It was also because of this that she suffered a severe backlash when the ceremony was forcibly terminated.

If Xu Xiaolan was truly refining the Vermilion Bird Heart Essence, then there was absolutely no way that she could come out of it unscathed. Thus, right now, it was more accurate to say that Xu Xiaolan had escaped from the Great Empress Vermilion Bird’s blood-thirsty knife.

“Great Empress Vermilion Bird, what a cunning plan you devised… You absorbed Xiaolan’s origin blood essence, and you even dared to absorb her fate and soul…” An Lin was in a state of absolute fury. A devastating might raged through the surroundings, and an aura that was on par with the God of Creation Stage started to envelop heaven and earth.

There was a look of astonishment on the Great Empress Vermilion Bird’s face. It seemed as if she hadn’t expected for her mysterious spell technique to be seen through.

However, her expression of astonishment was quickly replaced by an expression of ruthless resolution. She immediately made a grabbing motion toward the fleeing Xu Xiaolan.

Crack!

A dark-red energy materialized in the surroundings and imprisoned Xu Xiaolan in the void.

This was the supreme essential power of the Vermilion Bird, and it possessed an absolute suppressive ability over Xu Xiaolan.

“Her life was originally bestowed by me, and right now, I’m merely taking back what’s mine! Is this wrong?!” The Great Empress Vermilion Bird wore an eerie smile as she quickly flew toward Xu Xiaolan. The Vermilion Bird Heart Essence before her once again erupted with a blinding light. Then, it started to forcefully absorb the blood of the azure-clothed female before it.

“Ahhh!” Xu Xiaolan cried out in pain as blood once again shot out from the wound on her wrist.

The Vermilion Bird Heart Essence greedily absorbed Xu Xiaolan’s blood. This time, it made no attempt to hide its behavior. The speed at which it absorbed Xu Xiaolan’s blood essence was extremely quick, and it also started to frenziedly absorb her fate, divine sense, and life force. In fact, it even started to strip away her Vermilion Bird bloodline!

“You’re asking for death!”

An enraged roar boomed through heaven and earth.

An Lin instantly activated his Five Elemental Body. A golden energy furiously tore through the void, and An Lin’s body shot before the Great Empress Vermilion Bird in the blink of an eye. Then, he mercilessly swung a fist toward her!

The Great Empress Vermilion Bird casually raised her hand and placed it in the path of An Lin’s strike. “Do you really think you’re invincible just because you caused the Six Vermilion Bird Sages to submit to you?” Her expression was aloof and calm. “You truly have no understanding of what true power is…”

Boom!

Crack!

The sound of bone cracking reverberated through the air.

The Great Empress Vermilion Bird’s eyes widened in shock. Her hand had already been hammered into a broken mess.

Boom!

The aftershocks of the strike surged into the surroundings.

The Vermilion Bird Spell Altar was shattered to bits by the terrifying shockwaves.

Meanwhile, the Great Empress Vermilion Bird was also blasted back tens of thousands of meters.

“Xiaolan, are you okay?” An Lin lowered his fist and anxiously turned toward Xu Xiaolan.

In the instant that the Great Empress Vermilion Bird was struck, Xu Xiaolan had freed herself from the Great Empress Vermilion Bird’s imprisonment and quickly distanced herself from the Vermilion Bird Heart Essence.

The power of the Vermilion Bird Heart Essence had an absolute suppressive ability over the power in her body. Just like when a low-level being stood before a high-level being, she had absolutely no chance of resisting.

“I’m fine. An Lin, be careful!” Xu Xiaolan’s face was extremely pale as she shouted in reply. However, she still formed seals with her hands and unleashed millions of devastating holy flame arrows at the distant Great Empress Vermilion Bird.

“Your entire existence was bestowed by me, and all the abilities that you can use are derived from my powers… How are you going to fight against me?” The Great Empress Vermilion Bird paused in mid-air. Her battered hand had already recovered, and she shot a piercing glare at the holy flame arrows that were streaking toward her. Under her withering glare, the countless arrows in the sky couldn’t even maintain their forms. They immediately exploded into bursts of harmless flames.

The true Vermilion Bird could effortlessly suppress all beings who possessed a Vermilion Bird bloodline!

Tear!

Just as the Great Empress Vermilion Bird dealt with Xu Xiaolan’s attack, a thunderous tearing sound echoed through the surroundings.

A shocked expression spread across the Great Empress Vermilion Bird’s face when she discovered that An Lin had seized the opportunity to slice the hovering Vermilion Bird Heart Essence into two!

Like a turbulent flood, a rich, dark-red Vermilion Bird power surged into the surroundings.

“No!!!” The Great Empress Vermilion Bird lost control of her emotions again. “How is this possible?! The Vermilion Bird Heart Essence is an origin object of singularity formed from the Paramount Vermilion Bird Law. How can it be sliced apart so easily?!”

An Lin couldn’t help but chuckle. Paramount Vermilion Bird Law? Sorry, but my Evil-Slaying Sword possesses the ability to sever nomological laws. Coupled with my Dao Sword technique, how could I not slice open the unprotected Vermilion Bird Heart Essence?

The Great Empress Vermilion Bird immediately unleashed her full power to summon the Vermilion Bird Heart Essence back to herself. She had suffered a severe backlash due to the Vermilion Bird Heart Essence being sliced apart, and several severe gashes had already appeared on her slender body. Blood continually flowed out from her wounds.

How could An Lin and Xu Xiaolan let go of such a great opportunity? The two sides had already turned on each other now, and the only thing An Lin and Xu Xiaolan could do was to try their hardest to kill the Great Empress Vermilion Bird. Thereupon, they both leaped toward the nearby Great Empress Vermilion Bird.

The Great Empress Vermilion Bird swallowed the crudely patched Vermilion Bird Heart Essence and fused it back into her body. Her aura climbed explosively, and a projection of a gigantic and mighty Vermilion Bird materialized behind her back. Its aura was holy and noble, and it was as if it wanted to trample the entire heaven and earth under its feet. Its arrogance was unparalleled as it gazed down at the beings of the world.

Before she could even attack, Xu Xiaolan felt a suffocating might crush down upon her. She had clearly reached the peak of the Vermilion Bird Dao already, yet the might that was unleashed by the Great Empress Vermilion Bird still rendered the power of her bloodline absolutely useless.

“Kneel!” the Great Empress Vermilion Bird shouted a command as she looked at Xu Xiaolan.

Xu Xiaolan felt as though a paramount god had appeared before her. It demanded her to submit, and the bloodline in her body was already involuntarily bowing down to its power. At the same time, her knees started to disobey her as they gradually began to buckle.

“You kneel first!” An Lin’s eyes became pure gold in color as a paramount divine might slammed into the Great Empress Vermilion Bird’s body. This was the Super Divine Might Technique, and it could unleash a divine might that could instantly force the Six Vermilion Bird Sages to kneel.

The Great Empress Vermilion Bird was indeed one of the proudest and most powerful beings. Even though she was hit by the Super Divine Might Technique, her body only trembled slightly, and she was still able to remain standing.

However, a pair of strong hands had already clamped down on her shoulders and viciously pushed her down!

Boom!

The Great Empress Vermilion Bird kneeled!

She had kneeled a split second before Xu Xiaolan’s knees hit the ground!

That’s right! Xu Xiaolan had kneeled down a split second after the Great Empress Vermilion Bird!

The two females kneeled at each other just like that.

An uncanny silence fell over them.
