Immortal Path to Heaven-Chapter 1262: Vermilion Bird
Bei San’s body disappeared bit by bit in the devil flames. He roared in pain but did not receive any sympathy.
Feng Xiang also regained his freedom. The chains on his body were cut off, and the seal was also broken by Feng Jiang and Feng Yu. His body began to recover gradually.
“Where did Ou Yangming go?”
Feng Xiang’s eyes were filled with shame. The last time he left the Phoenixes’ headquarters to carry out a mission, Ou Yangming was cheated and was missing for several years.
“Ou Yangming went to the Flaming Abyss,” Elder Feng Yu said in a deep voice.
“The Flaming Abyss? Isn’t that the forbidden area of the Phoenixes? Why did he go there?” Feng Xiang’s eyes were filled with doubt.
Elder Feng Yu was silent for a moment before saying, “Feng Xinxiao threw his friends into the abyss. I think he went to save him.”
Feng Xinxiao first captured Feng Xiang and the others before dealing with the king kong and the goshawk. After Feng Xiang entered this place, he did not know the situation outside at all.
He did not know, but the other elders were clear about it.
“B*stard!” Feng Xiang’s eyes were red. He clenched his fists tightly and blamed himself. “It’s all my fault. I let Ou Yangming down!”
All of a sudden, Feng Xiang thought of something and hurriedly walked out.
“What are you doing?” Elder Feng Yu asked.
“The Flaming Abyss is very dangerous. It’s a forbidden area of the Phoenixes. If one enters that place, one will surely die. I can’t just watch Ou Yangming die.” Feng Xiang knew how terrifying that place was. He had lived in the Phoenixes’ headquarters for so long, and he had never heard of anyone walking out of the abyss.
If the king kong and the goshawk were thrown in, they would die without a doubt. Feng Xiang could not continue to implicate others.
Feng Jiang took a step forward and stopped Feng Xiang. He said, “Sir Ou Yangming is already a peerless mighty figure in the third step. I think he should have some confidence.”
“What? Did you say that Ou Yangming’s already a mighty figure in the third step?” Feng Xiang’s mouth was wide open. He did not close it for a long time.
After all, the difference in strengths was too great. He also did not know Feng Xinxiao’s exact level, but he knew that the phoenix powerhouse was very powerful. He was already surprised that Ou Yangming could kill Feng Xinxiao. Now, Elder Feng Jiang told him that the young fellow was a third-step supreme powerhouse.
“This… How’s this possible?” Feng Xiang was in disbelief. How long had it been? Ou Yangming had only been in the Great Wide World for 3 to 4 years. That delicate and pretty little student from back then had reached the third step. This was too exaggerated.
In these few years, Feng Xiang was still in the law boundary, but Ou Yangming’s strength…
“There’s no problem with Sir Ou Yangming’s strength. Not long ago, he even exchanged a move with Great Ancestor. In the end, Great Ancestor seemed to have suffered quite a serious injury.”
Elder Feng Yu did not hide anything and told Feng Xiang everything that had happened outside. After hearing everything, Feng Xiang did not speak for a long time. After a long time, he sighed and said, “This time, Ou Yangming will probably hate me to death.”
The Flaming Abyss was on the other side of 1,000 Phoenixes Mountain.
It was very steep here. Ou Yangming and Lil’ Red stood on the top of the mountain and looked at the flames below.
There was a sea of flames, and a scorching hot aura permeated the air. The temperature here was very high, and even some ordinary ores could be directly melted.
Ou Yangming’s body was as strong as a Taoist Tool, so he did not feel much. Lil’ Red was a phoenix, so he naturally would not feel uncomfortable.
Glancing down, Ou Yangming withdrew his gaze and said, “I feel that there should be some danger down there. I’ll go down alone. You wait up there. I’ll bring King Kong and Goshawk up.”
The Flaming Abyss blocked his spiritual sense. Even if he was here, he still could not sense the king kong and the goshawk.
“No, Lil’ Ming. King Kong and Goshawk are my friends too. Let’s go together!” Lil’ Red said with a firm gaze.
Ou Yangming did not dare to delay any longer. If he stayed up there for another 15 minutes, the king kong and the goshawk would be in greater danger. The young fellow did not believe that they were already dead. He was not willing to accept the news.
“Okay.” Ou Yangming nodded. “We’ll go down together.”
With that, they entered the surging flames without hesitation. A light shield appeared on Lil’ Red’s body, firmly protecting his body within. The Phoenixes’ resistance to flames was already very strong. The flames here could instantly incinerate a Ruler, but it did not have much of an effect on Lil’ Red.
There was no need to mention Ou Yangming. He did not need any protection. His powerful body was comparable to a Low Grade Taoist Tool, and he did not fear the burning of the flames at all.
Ou Yangming and Lil’ Red gradually descended. As they descended, they searched everywhere.
The flames were extremely violent, and their spiritual senses were greatly restricted here. Many times, they could only rely on their eyes to observe.
As they went further, the more violent the flames became, and the higher the temperature.
Ou Yangming’s mood became even heavier. The temperature of the flames here was so high that even a powerhouse in the law boundary would not be able to withstand it. How could the king kong and the goshawk possibly withstand it?
It was very likely that this time, he would not be able to find the 2 of them. In fact, he would not even be able to find a trace. The flames here would devour them completely.
“Lil’ Ming, don’t worry too much. We’ll definitely be able to find them if we continue to search.” Lil’ Red could see the change in Ou Yangming’s expression.
At the spur of the moment, a fire dragon pounced toward them.
“Be careful,” Ou Yangming reminded Lil’ Red. A cold light appeared in his eyes as he smashed the dragon’s head apart with a punch. His eyes stared in a direction as he coldly said, “Get the hell out here!”
Ou Yangming was already in a mess. He did not expect to be ambushed.
After a while, a white flame floated out from Ou Yangming’s line of sight. The color of this flame was different from other flames. It was purer and more intense. The white flame was like a small bird, slowly flying in the sea of fire.
Ou Yangming knew that it was this guy who had played tricks just now.
“It’s a vermillion bird!” Lil’ Red said in surprise when he saw the color of the flame.
“Little fella, you know quite a lot.” A cold voice came from the white flame.
The vermillion birds were one of the 4 types of divine beasts in ancient times. Their status was much higher than that of the Dragons and the Phoenixes. Despite that, after an accident, their race declined, and the 4 divine beasts disappeared without a trace. The descendants of these divine beasts were still arrogant, but the result was naturally that they were eliminated.
“You’re just a stray dog who has lost his body and only has his soul left. Besides, you’re still being imprisoned here by others. What’s there to be proud of?”
Ou Yangming took a glance and immediately noticed the vermillion bird’s state.
This vermillion bird was once very strong. Based on the strength of his soul, it should be in the third step. An ancient divine beast in the third step was much more powerful than the other conferred Rulers. Having said that, only a lump of the bird’s soul was left, and it could not even unleash the power of the third step. Naturally, Ou Yangming treated it lightly.
“What did you say?!” The vermillion bird shouted coldly. Ou Yangming’s words seemed to be tearing open his scar.
Back then, he had been defeated by the Phoenixes, and his physical body had been destroyed. His soul had been imprisoned in this place forever. This was the eternal pain in his heart.
“I said that you’re just a pitiful worm.” Ou Yangming was not polite at all.
His gaze carried indifference as he looked coldly at the vermillion bird who had ambushed him just now. He asked, “Did you see 2 spirit beasts here?”
“You’re courting death!” The vermilion bird was on the edge of the explosion, and this human actually asked for information from him. This human simply did not regard him as anything.
“Woosh…” A ball of flame spurted out of the vermilion bird’s mouth.
This flame was almost comparable to the blue Heavenly Phoenix Fire. Moreover, this vermilion bird’s soul power was powerful, and the temperature of his flame was extremely high. Even an expert in the second step realm would find it difficult to escape.
The flame spread out, but Ou Yangming’s body did not move at all, allowing the flame to directly devour him.
“Hahaha, what an ungrateful fella!”
The vermilion bird looked at Ou Yangming, who was being devoured by his flame, and laughed loudly. His gaze still remained on the young fellow, but his smile soon stiffened. In the flame, the human actually did not feel any pain. The corners of his mouth lifted slightly as if he was mocking himself.
“How’s this possible?”
The vermilion bird was shocked, and so was Lil’ Red. Lil’ Red had witnessed Ou Yangming’s powerful strength outside of the 1,000 Phoenixes Mountain. It was comparable to an existence in the third step. That said, he did not expect the young fellow’s body to be so powerful. Even the terrifying vermilion bird’s flames could not hurt him at all.
“Is that all you have?” Ou Yangming sneered. His body was burning with flames as he walked toward the vermilion bird.
If the vermilion bird was at his peak, he might still be able to use some tricks. Now, he was just a vermilion bird that only had a soul left.
“Answer my question. Did you see 2 spirit beasts fall from above?” Ou Yangming repeated his question.
This time, the vermilion bird was terrified. He looked at Ou Yangming, who was walking toward him step by step, as if he had seen a devil.
“I don’t know,” The vermilion bird cried out. It turned around and burrowed into the flames. It planned to escape. This place was too dangerous.
“Trying to escape?” Ou Yangming clenched his fist slightly and shouted coldly, “Soul-sucking!”
In the flames, the vermilion bird’s soul was stunned. At the same time, Ou Yangming chased after it and smashed it into pieces.
The fragments of the vermillion bird’s soul flashed through Ou Yangming’s mind.
It had been imprisoned for too long, and its memories of the past were blurry. Even so, some of its recent memories were still very clear. Ou Yangming quickly chased in a direction.
From the vermillion bird’s memories, Ou Yangming saw the king kong and the goshawk. When they were thrown here, they were also almost attacked by the vermillion bird. Nevertheless, when the vermilion bird rushed over, the 2 of them landed in a mysterious place. That place had something that the vermilion bird was afraid of, so it did not dare to go there.
Ou Yangming flew quickly in the flames. Lil’ Red’s body flickered with golden light as he hurriedly followed behind him.
