Chapter 118: Vermillion Bird Appears
"Suzaku! That's Suzaku!" Amid the exclamations of countless monks, the firebird swooped towards the thunder.
The thunderbolt broke the firebird apart, but each ray of lightning was also enveloped by flames. The blazing flames dyed half the sky red, and the sky looked like it was on fire.
Even if you are a hundred miles away, you can still feel the heat of the flames.
Liu Yishu admired the gorgeous scenery of fireworks in the distance, and patted the Vermillion Bird Seal in appreciation, "Well done!"
The Suzaku Seal moved in dissatisfaction.
Covered by such brilliant colors and hundreds of miles away, very few cultivators could clearly see Xu Weichen's current condition.
Indeed, the monks watching could not see how much damage this last thunderbolt caused to Xu Weichen, but they could clearly see the scene of the firebird colliding and dissipating with the thunderbolt.
If it was the real Vermillion Bird, it would naturally be impossible for it to be struck apart by a bolt of lightning, so the cultivators reacted quickly.
"That's not Suzaku, that's Suzaku Seal!"
But this was even more unbelievable than the Vermillion Bird's manifestation of divine power. The scene was silent. After a long while, a cultivator murmured and asked, "How could the Red Flame Ancestor help Xu Weichen? How is this possible?!"
This was naturally impossible. After all, Xu Weichen had just broken the God-Slaying Formation a few days ago, which had created a big feud with the Suzaku Dynasty and the Red Flame Ancestor.
So there is only one possibility left.
Even though this may be incredible.
"Has the Vermillion Bird Seal changed hands?" a cultivator asked in a low voice, as if afraid of startling something.
"How is this possible?!" It's the same rhetorical question, but it expresses a completely different meaning.
The expressions on all the monks' faces were the same: disbelief.
When the fireworks faded, Xu Weichen's figure appeared again. He was sitting cross-legged there. Although his body was covered with scars, he was obviously alive. The pressure he exerted could be sensed from hundreds of miles away. It was obvious that he had survived the thunderbolt while conscious and had entered the trial of the inner demon.
When a cultivator is going through the tribulation of his inner demons, it can be said that it is his most vulnerable moment. Therefore, when a cultivator is going through the tribulation, he must either be protected by relatives, friends, teachers and other friends, or find an absolutely hidden place in advance and set up layers of formations, for fear of surviving the tribulation thunder but perishing at the hands of a villain.
Xu Weichen was definitely the first person to overcome the tribulation alone and attract so many cultivators to watch.
But no monk dared to act rashly.
After all, everyone saw it just now. The Vermillion Bird Seal blocked the last calamity lightning for Xu Weichen.
That is the divine artifact, the Vermillion Bird Seal, which can withstand even such terrible thunder. No one has the confidence that they can contend with the divine artifact.
But if they really had to watch Xu Weichen overcome his inner demon tribulation, some people would feel really aggrieved, especially those cultivators from the sects and families!
The thunder tribulation of Xu Weichen's Void Refining Stage is much more terrifying than the thunder tribulation of Old Ancestor Chi Yan in the past. This shows that Xu Weichen's cultivation foundation is far more solid than Old Ancestor Chi Yan. If such a person is successfully promoted to the Void Refining Stage and holds a magical weapon, the forces of the Suzaku Continent will be reshuffled, and a behemoth more powerful than the Suzaku Dynasty will rise.
But the resources for cultivators are limited. If someone or a new force rises, it means that the old forces will have to give up their interests. Who would be willing to do that?
In the stalemate, one person moved.
But he did not move voluntarily; he was thrown out by someone, and was thrown fifty miles away.
After the cultivator who was only at the foundation-building stage landed safely and was not attacked, many cultivators moved at the same time, shortening the distance between them and Xu Weichen by fifty miles.
Then the embarrassing Jindan cultivator used the same trick again and threw the man out again. This time, the cultivator was thrown less than half a mile away from Xu Weichen.
Still nothing happened.
However, this distance was too close to Xu Weichen, so those cultivators did not dare to approach directly, but only moved another thirty miles closer to Xu Weichen.
However, the cultivator who was thrown here for no reason was a brave one. After waiting for a moment, he actually approached Xu Weichen cautiously.
Seeing that someone was paving the way for them, the cultivators did not rush to take action again, but instead stared at the cultivator who was slowly approaching Xu Weichen.
The man was getting closer and closer to Xu Weichen, one hundred meters, fifty meters, twenty meters——
Seeing that he was about to get close to Xu Weichen, and Xu Weichen still had no reaction, someone could not help it, relying on his cultivation level of the Spirit Transformation Stage, and flashed to the side of that person.
But just when he wanted to attack Xu Weichen, he found that he could not move. A pressure more terrifying than the thunder locked him down, making him unable to move.
Then, the Foundation Establishment cultivator who they thought was sent out to explore the way turned around and faced the cultivators twenty miles away, smiling and raised the fiery red palm-sized seal in his hand.
As the only divine weapon in the Suzaku Continent, the cultivators were not unfamiliar with the appearance of the Suzaku Seal. If it were not for the previous appearance of the Suzaku, they might have only felt that the seal was familiar and would not have immediately associated it with the Suzaku Seal. But at this moment, when they saw the seal, one thought emerged in the minds of all the cultivators, and that was the Suzaku Seal.
But why wasn't the Vermillion Bird Seal in Xu Weichen's hands? Who was this young boy who looked like a child?
Liu Yishu held up the Vermillion Bird Seal and stepped back step by step until he came to Xu Weichen's side.
Although his soul is powerful, his physical body is just that of a rookie who doesn't even have a golden elixir. He is no match for these cultivators who are either in the God Transformation stage, Nascent Soul stage, or at worst, Golden Elixir stage.
Although his domain is invincible, in his current state, the range of the domain he can expand is limited, at least not a hundred miles.
So he needed to get close to Xu Weichen to better protect him.
But with the speed he could achieve during the Foundation Establishment Period, by the time he ran to Xu Weichen, the opportunity might have been lost, so he needed someone to take him to Xu Weichen.
It just so happened that these cultivators did not dare to act rashly due to the intimidation of the Vermillion Bird Seal, so he used his soul to control a Divine Transformation cultivator not far away and threw him out, using him as a chess piece to explore the way.
The first time he only lost fifty miles because he was afraid that his weak body could not support it. After all, he was still at the foundation-building stage and his body strength was only slightly stronger than that of paper.
Fortunately, the defensive weapons he wore were not in vain. Even though he was thrown so far, his frail body was able to hold on.
The second time, he chose to be half a mile away from Xu Weichen. Because this distance was too close to Xu Weichen, he guessed that those cultivators would not dare to approach directly, but he, as a chess piece thrown out to explore the way, could.
What's more, a distance of half a mile is enough for him to expand his territory.
In fact, those cultivators were more cautious than he had guessed. No one dared to attack until he was only twenty meters away from Xu Weichen.
But it was only twenty meters, and once the territory made a move, the outcome was decided.
