Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

The Vermilion Bird Sect was one of the four great sects of the Kingdom of the Nine States. Now, however, it was engulfed in a sea of purple flames. Moreover, these purple flames were inextinguishable, even for the powerful beings of the Vermilion Bird Sect. Once one came into contact with these purple flames, their only fate would be death. They would be ruthlessly burned into nothing but a plume of black smoke.

Compared to these purple flames, even the pure and eternal Holy Vermilion Flame started to appear dim and lackluster.

The divine tree started to collapse.

This was seemingly doomsday for the Vermilion Bird Sect.

Mo Hai! Yang Yuan immediately slashed his sword at Mo Hais arm. That arm was burning with purple flames, and these flames had almost disintegrated his arm in the blink of an eye.

Thank you Mo Hai said in gratitude as he cradled his severed arm and looked at Yang Yuan. After saying this, he glanced at the raging purple flames with lingering fear in his mind.

In the past, he had loved the feeling of being burned by flames. He had viewed that as a kind of enjoyment. Toward these purple flames, however, he felt nothing but fear.

These flames were far too terrifying, and they were essentially a symbol of destruction and death. If Yang Yuan had reacted any slower, then his body would have already been engulfed by the purple flames and completely erased from this world!

The disciples of the Vermilion Bird Sect had already fled from the divine tree.

Lan Yan was red-eyed with fury as she battled against the Heavenly Demons. Many of her good friends had died at the hands of the Heavenly Demons, so she was furiously slaying them in order to unleash the fury in her mind.

Lan Yan is losing control No, I have to help her. If she continues like this, its very likely that shell be killed by a Heavenly Demon! Yang Yuan said as he gazed at Lan Yans current state. As her friend, he couldnt ignore her during this time of great need. As such, he immediately started to fly toward her.

Mo Hai swallowed an immortal pill as he gazed at the divine tree where he had once lived and cultivated. This was a place that he had once called home. Now, however, it was being slowly engulfed by the purple flames. He could barely suppress the grief and fury in his mind

Its gone, everythings gone

He looked up at the tumultuous sky, and he murmured, Can we truly endure this?

Heavenly Demons were still falling. In fact, even the Heavenly Demons from the surrounding areas and the rest of the Bai Hua State were rushing toward the Vermilion Bird Sect. It was as if they were determined to destroy this powerful enemy. Meanwhile, the disciples of the Vermilion Bird Sect couldnt raise their combat capability anymore. It was already becoming more and more difficult for them to resist.

Most importantly

A hint of unconcealable terror flashed across Mo Hais eyes as he looked toward the crown of the divine tree.

A bolt of purple lightning suddenly tore the flames apart.

Immediately afterward, a figure suddenly emerged from this bolt of lightning.

Boom!

The bolt of lightning left a huge bowl-shaped crater in the ground.

Meanwhile, a scrawny man was violently coughing up blood. There was a bloody and gaping hole in his chest.

Upon seeing this, the disciples of the Vermilion Bird Sect all exclaimed in astonishment.

This was because this scrawny man was Situ Feng, the Grand Elder of the Vermilion Bird Sect!

A human-looking Heavenly Demon who measured thirty feet in height slowly landed before Situ Feng. Its wings blotted out heaven and earth, and it held a blue sword in each of its hands. There was also a purple flame flickering on its pointy tail. Although this Heavenly Demon wasnt giant in size, its aura was extremely terrifying. Rippling with a purple color, its intimidating aura was powerful enough to affect a region of five hundred kilometers in radius!

This was a Heavenly Demon that was so powerful that it instilled despair into everyones mind.

It was this Heavenly Demon that had unleashed the purple flames, and it was this Heavenly Demon that had shattered their sect-protection spell formation. Moreover, it was also this Heavenly Demon that had felled their eternally standing Vermilion Bird Divine Tree!

It had also killed innumerable disciples and elders of the Vermilion Bird Sect.

This was a peerless Heavenly Demon that possessed an unfathomable power!

It cant be, right? Elder Situ Feng is currently the most powerful elder of the Vermilion Bird Sect. Yet, even Elder Situ Feng has Lan Yan covered her mouth in shock and disbelief.

At this moment, the peerless Heavenly Demon had already flapped its wings and landed above Situ Feng. It then raised its large and spiky black foot before furiously stomping down.

Boom!

The ground caved in once again.

Situ Fengs bones were shattered, and he couldnt help but vomit another mouthful of blood.

Grand Elder! a man who was dressed in a red sect robe and riddled with wounds roared in anger. He transformed into a Holy Flame Vermilion Bird as he violently lunged at the peerless Heavenly Demon.

He was none other than the sect leader of the Vermilion Bird Sect, Zhu Xuze!

However, the peerless Heavenly Demon was unfazed as it gazed at the Vermilion Bird that was formed from pure white holy flames. Its blue swords suddenly slashed down at the Vermilion Bird, and two bursts of indescribable sword projections suddenly illuminated the void with a bright blue color. Carrying with them a devastating penetrative ability, these sword projections then brutally severed the wings of the Vermilion Bird!

The Vermilion Bird screeched in agony, and it dissipated into an expanse of falling flames.

The Heavenly Demon had actually struck the fatal weak point of Zhu Xuzes spell technique!

Zhu Xuze was instantly sent flying by the boundless power of the sword intent.

There was ridicule in the peerless Heavenly Demons eyes as it glanced at Zhu Xuze. It then turned its attention back to Situ Feng, with its pointy tail that was burning with purple flames arching up like a scorpions stinger and aiming at Situ Fengs head.

No!

Elder Situ!

The disciples and elders all shouted in dread!

In fact, some of them were already charging toward the peerless Heavenly Demon!

If even Situ Feng was killed, then how would the Vermilion Bird Sect survive this catastrophe? For the survival of the Vermilion Bird Sect, these disciples and elders were even willing to sacrifice their lives!

Dont come over! Situ Feng roared. A boundless wave of holy flames soared into the sky, ferociously slamming into the peerless Heavenly Demons body. Moreover, the powerful air currents generated by this eruption forced the nearing disciples and elders to retreat.

It was also at this moment that the peerless Heavenly Demon, who was unyielding as it bathed in the Holy Vermilion Flames, penetrated Situ Fengs head with its tail.

Like spreading flames, blood flowed into the surroundings.

At this moment, it was as if heaven and earth had descended into a brief state of silence.

The space around them churned.

A young woman who was dressed in a body-hugging black Daoist robe suddenly appeared beside the fallen divine tree. Her pupils contracted as she took in the scene before her, and an expression of shock and disbelief slowly spread across her face.

Purple flames continued to spread.

Meanwhile, Situ Fengs body had already been disintegrated by the devastating and merciless flames.

Only the winged Heavenly Demon who had been slightly burned by the Holy Vermilion Flames remained standing. Like a proud divine being, its bloodied tail arched up and continued to burn with purple flames. A cold chill ran down everyones spine.

Our Grand Elder was actually killed?

No thats impossible Grand Elder Situ has a profound understanding of the Vermilion Bird Spell Technique, so he can definitely achieve rebirth from the flames!

Right at this moment, however, the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth suddenly started to wail in mourning.

Vermilion-colored feathers of flames started to fall from the sky.

An indescribable feeling of grief welled up in everyones mind.

Following the death of a Dao Integration Stage cultivator, heaven and earth also started to wail in mourning!

At this moment, the disciples who had still been holding onto that final straw of hope couldnt help but crumble.

The Grand Elder who had guarded the Vermilion Bird Sect for tens of thousands of years had been brutally killed!

Many disciples of the Vermilion Bird Sect couldnt help but wail in anguish. In fact, some of them even started to charge toward the peerless Heavenly Demon with no regard for their own safety. Even if they lost, they would still battle to the death!

Charge!

Avenge the Grand Elder!

The flames of the Vermilion Bird shall never be extinguished!

Numerous cultivators were glowing with flames as they launched a flurry of furious attacks at the Heavenly Demon. Some of them were enveloped in flames, while others were unleashing powerful fire-element spell techniques.

The Heavenly Demons body was instantly engulfed by countless flaming spell techniques.

However, the cultivators of the Vermilion Bird Sect didnt dare to let their guards down. Instead, they continued to relentlessly attack the Heavenly Demon. In fact, almost half of the disciples and elders were launching waves of furious attacks at the peerless Heavenly Demon!

Lan Yan was one of these disciples. In fact, she had charged to the front of the disciples, and she wantonly unleashed her most powerful spell techniques without any regard for the amount of energy consumed.

However, the unexpected always arrived quickly.

Before most of the disciples could even react, the Heavenly Demon had already torn through the wave of attacks and charged at Lan Yan. A malicious smile spread across its slightly melted face, and the blue swords in its hand viciously slashed down.

It wasnt specifically targeting Lan Yan. Rather, Lan Yan was extremely close to it, and she was also fairly powerful. Thus, the Heavenly Demon decided to make her its first victim.

At this moment, Lan Yan had nowhere to dodge. In fact, she didnt even have the ability to parry this attack. She could only stare at the swords that were slashing down at her.

This woman who had loved to laugh before finally laughed at this moment. For some reason, she wasnt afraid of this fate. Instead, she felt like dying for her sect and dying for the Kingdom of the Nine States was a worthwhile conclusion.

Perhaps this was the true feeling of treating death calmly?

At this moment, however, a slender and shapely figure suddenly materialized before her, with the blade in her hand illuminating the entire night sky!
