“Divine Immortal! Are you here? It must… it must be!” The face of the little girl beside Shen Ying lit up as she got to her feet at once. She turned around and ran toward the peak of the mountain.
Shen Ying frowned and glanced at the peak. Is this light… immortal Qi?
Just as she was thinking of walking over to take a look, she caught the stone tablet in the corner of her eye. She stepped back, lifted her leg and stomped down on the tablet. With a loud crack, the tablet broke into a thousand pieces.
Hmm, this is better!
Satisfied, she floated toward the peak.
The little girl ran extremely fast toward the peak. During this time, there was already a big pit burned into the hill. More than half of the hill had been blasted off and soil flew everywhere. Even the fields at the bottom of the peak were affected – more than half of the fields were destroyed. All the villagers were running for their lives – only that little figure moved steadily toward the peak. Panting as she ascended, the little girl’s vision filled with colourful rays and the floating soil. There was no way she could make out what was happening.
Suddenly, everything fell silent. She began to feel nervous, but her desire to see the divine immortal kept her there. She sucked in a deep breath and walked amidst the chaos. Weakly, she called, “Divine… Immortal?”
Roar!
As she called out, she heard a loud, angry roar. In front of her, huge figure appeared. It opened its blood-filled mouth and a strong smell of blood rushed toward the girl.
“Ah!” The girl was so frightened that her legs went jelly and she fell to the ground. She could not even think about running away.
That was when she managed to get a good look at the beast in front of her. The beast was almost as tall as the original hill and it looked extremely ferocious. It had sharp teeth which were taller than the length of the girl’s entire body. It was making its way steadily toward her; with each step that the beast took, the ground shook. Suddenly, it opened its mouth and bit down toward her.
The little girl was scared to her wits. She stared at the beast in shock, absolutely terrified. No… This is not Divine Immortal!
She was about to be swallowed. Suddenly, the great beast started, as if it stepped on something. It slipped and fell down into the gigantic pit with a loud roar.
The impact sent dust flying everywhere once more.
Roar!
The great beast had no time to struggle. Suddenly, another great figure appeared, taking this opportunity to jump into the pit. It let out a loud cry and used its claws to attack the other beast. There was the sound of flapping wings and she felt a strong gust of wind which once again sent dust flying into the air. When the dust settled, the girl clearly saw the two beasts in the heat of battle.
The other beast was a giant bird covered in flames. Under it was a great four-legged beast, with the head of a panther, the tail of a snake, and the claws of an eagle. Its body was covered entirely in scales and its mouth filled with sharp teeth. It looked injured – a lot of the scales from its body had been scratched off. It lay motionless at that moment, under the firebird.
“Hahaha, Biao Ting, you dare call yourself a Celestial Emperor when your cultivation level is this pathetic. It cracks me up!” The fire bird kept mocking the other beast. “I think you’d better go back to your Cave of Celestial Teachings. Don’t embarrass yourself any further. Return the Qing Han continent to me.”
“Blackbird!” The other beast struggled with all its might but could not release itself from the claws of the firebird. It could only keep roaring. “You are a prominently rotten bird. Today, I am at your mercy only because of my negligence. Cut to the chase. If you want to kill me, do it now.”
“Hmph.” The firebird used one of its wings to slap the other beast, then stopped attacking it any further. Instead, it stepped back. There was a flash of immortal light around the bird. It transformed into a green-robed man who was staring at the great beast coolly. “You think I am as stupid as your beast race? Talk! I have nothing against you. Why did you destroy my Phoenix Palace?”
“Pfft! You call yourself a Heavenly Emperor. If you hadn’t shamelessly stolen my Six-Flame Pearl, I wouldn’t bother myself with your rotten place.” Biao Ting gritted his teeth and said, “An eye for an eye! It was kind of me to destroy your nest.”
“Who stole your Six-Flame Pearl!” Blackbird’s expression hardened. “I don’t care for your stupid pearl!”
“Don’t even try to deny it!” Biao Ting was getting angrier. “Your bird race has always enjoyed collecting sparkly things. There is no lack of pearls in your rotten nest. What’s more, among the ten Heavenly Emperors, only you are fire-elemental. If you didn’t steal it, who did? You dare to do it, but you do not dare to admit it. IF you don’t kill me now, I will definitely settle the scores with you soon!”
