Chapter 1923: Chapter 1922: Vermilion Bird’s Ninth Transformation

"He’s not dead yet!"

On the other side, Feng Feifei also spoke, saying that Li Feng had made eight seemingly suicidal counterattacks in succession, and even a fool could see there was something suspicious about it, let alone she wasn’t foolish.

Helena sighed and said, "You only realize it now?"

"What do you mean?"

Feng Feifei looked at Helena. Their relationship had always been strained, like two sharp points ready to clash.

Helena looked into the distance, her eyes closed yet seeming to see deep into the magma: "We all know our master’s strength; even Bi Fang was restrained by abyss power in our master’s hands."

"But Li Feng keeps resurrecting, which is abnormal. Before, he had used the Vermilion Bird Undying Body, but not even that could evade our master’s space-ripping abyss power."

"Perhaps the opponent could survive by luck, but being engulfed by abyss black flame all over, he shouldn’t be able to escape."

"Yet he escaped, not only escaped but reappeared lively. This is clearly abnormal."

"Moreover, haven’t you all noticed the Zhuque egg is missing?"

Perhaps because her eyes were closed, she wasn’t confused by the immediate situation. Li Feng’s repeated seemingly desperate suicidal attacks certainly drew everyone’s attention but led them to overlook the main point.

Their biggest goal on this journey, the Zhuque egg, had disappeared.

"Zhuque egg."

Upon hearing this, Feng Feifei’s face changed; she indeed had overlooked this point. The Zhuque egg, Feng Feifei looked to where Li Feng first appeared and then saw the broken Parasol Wood box.

"Master, it’s time to retreat."

Helena suddenly stepped forward and spoke to Emperor Yue.

Feng Feifei quickly turned around and looked at Helena: "Helena, do you know what you’re saying? The Zhuque egg hasn’t been obtained yet, and those damn human cultivators haven’t been killed. You’re actually suggesting we leave?"

"If you’re afraid, you can leave."

"That Zhuque egg should be with Li Feng; we just need to kill him to get it." Feng Feifei looked at Emperor Yue.

"We can’t return empty-handed; otherwise, it would be a significant blow to the Dragon Master’s prestige."

The Candle Dragon Demon Emperor has more than one descendant, but among many, Emperor Yue is the strongest. Yet if he returns defeated without the Zhuque egg, especially defeated by the cultivators from Ancestor Dragon City, it would be a considerable blow to his prestige.

"Feng Feifei, now is not the time to act impulsively."

Helena said.

Feng Feifei turned her head to Helena: "Helena, this isn’t an excuse for cowardice. Besides, Li Feng is clearly no match for our master. Why should we leave? If I didn’t know you since childhood, I’d suspect you have ties with Ancestor Dragon City."

Helena listened to Feng Feifei’s accusations: "Feng Feifei...!"

"Silence!"

Emperor Yue directly interrupted the two women’s dispute: "Even if we are to leave, we must first face him in battle."

Before he finished speaking.

An abrupt change occurred.

Bi Fang sensed a powerful energy fluctuation and immediately said, "Retreat quickly; this area is about to collapse."

Upon hearing Bi Fang’s warning, Sikong Yu and the others swiftly turned to retreat, and at that moment, the ground could no longer withstand the surging earth fire. Not only were the previous pits continuously spewing magma, but it was shooting up like fountains to the sky.

The ground seemed to have been struck by an earthquake, constantly fracturing and then swallowed by the rising magma, as if the entire Vermilion Bird Holy Temple was collapsing. Countless earth fires spread, bathing the whole temple in an apocalyptic sea of fire.

Suddenly, a crisp cry of the Vermilion Bird emitted from the earth fire, and a Vermilion Bird illusion emerged from the magma.

The next moment, the Vermilion Bird Wings spread wide open, overflowing with countless blazing flames in the sky, akin to the Vermilion Bird’s rebirth.

Yet upon closer inspection, one can see clearly that a human figure is within the majestic giant Vermilion Bird, exactly Li Feng.

Time rewinds to when Li Feng was defeated by Emperor Yue, and the Four-Armed Demon Ape was flung over like an elephant, its ten-ton body crashing down like a mountain.

Li Feng instantly entered the Undying Body state, and at that moment, he felt dreadful, as Emperor Yue’s strength left Li Feng at a loss.

Dragon Power Shaking the Sky can tear space apart, against which even the Vermilion Bird Undying Body couldn’t be immune, and the opponent’s abyss black flame was something Li Feng’s proud mutated Purple Flame couldn’t handle, for his flame was also mixed with some abyss power, granting it an infinite devouring ability.

Yet compared to Emperor Yue’s pure abyss power, Li Feng’s integration of abyss power with flame had reached a balance, avoiding dominance by one.

Without unexpected circumstances, Li Feng was highly likely to die.

But heaven did not seal off all means of escape, and Li Feng hadn’t anticipated that after being smashed into Undying Body state, it resulted in unexpected benefits, because the nearby Parasol Wood box was also smashed open; although the box even withstood Vermilion Bird Fire, it wasn’t safe from brute force, as it was a handmade box.

Moreover, Li Feng possessed the Vermilion Bird Bloodline, sharing origin with the Vermilion Bird, and though still in egg form, its divine sense had awakened, otherwise it wouldn’t have appeared in Li Feng’s Sea of Consciousness earlier.

Facing the threat of death, the Vermilion Bird naturally had to save itself, yet the energy it accumulated alone couldn’t allow it to break the shell and rebirth from fire.

Confronted with such circumstances, the Vermilion Bird had to opt for second best, temporarily merging into Li Feng’s body.

As Li Feng attached himself to the Zhuque egg, the flame power from the egg pierced through the ground taking Li Feng down into the underground magma lake of earth fire.

Afterward, the Vermilion Bird directly fused itself into Li Feng’s Golden Core, instantly granting Li Feng rebirth by fire, albeit the rebirthing process required a complete reconstruction of Li Feng’s body.

The entire earth veins energy was drawn by the Zhuque egg and used by it to rebuild Li Feng’s body from the core Golden Core, from meridian to flesh.

Yet the energy within the Zhuque egg wasn’t easily accepted, causing Li Feng’s body to swell instantly, compelling him to use the surplus energy to create a clone to ensure the forging of his physical body.

Thus emerged the preceding scenario, with Li Feng’s clones appearing one after another, getting stronger nearly every ten seconds, because Li Feng was indeed continuously strengthening, and his body was becoming increasingly perfected.

Until the eighth clone was killed, the formation of Li Feng’s physical body was finally almost complete.

When Li Feng slowly opened his eyes, lifting his gaze to his newly forged body, this transformation was akin to rebirth by fire, retaining only his soul’s memory from before; his body was wholly recreated.

Furthermore, his Elixir Field Sea was seized by the Zhuque egg, or rather it directly merged with Li Feng’s Golden Core, forming a new core.

Of course, the Vermilion Bird did not die, as per its words. When Li Feng transitions from Golden Core to Nascent Soul, it will undergo rebirth by fire.

As for what happens after then, the Vermilion Bird did not say, nor did Li Feng ask, for right now, Li Feng has no choice in the matter.

"Emperor Yue, I stated before, this time I will kill you; Li Feng never breaks his word."
