Chapter 685 - Chapter 686: Chapter 362: Vermilion Bird Incinerates Heaven_2 (2/2)
The hot breath seemed to ignite the air, and the golden light mingled with the red light was dazzling. Fortunately, everything happened within the Xuanhuang Refining Qi Furnace; otherwise, such changes would surely attract other demons.
As everything calmed down, a small bird the size of a sparrow flew out of the Xuanhuang Refining Qi Furnace. It chirped twice and landed on Su Nan’s shoulder, rubbing its small head against Su Nan’s neck in a very affectionate manner.
Feeling the breath of the little bird, Su Nan was both surprised and delighted.
The bird formed from Li Fire Essence mostly had golden feathers, with red ones covering its neck and entire head. Its eyes were bright and full of life.
At a glance, the bird formed by the Li Fire Essence appeared adorable but not too extraordinary. Upon closer inspection, however, the bird’s feathers were like flowing flames, slowly burning.
The scorching temperature seemed to pierce the void, and Su Nan could feel a terrifying power within the bird’s body. If that power were to burst forth, even a peak King-level powerhouse might not be able to withstand it.
If the bird landed on any demon at this moment, the demon’s body would probably be ignited instantly.
However, Su Nan was unaffected by such intense heat.
Su Nan understood that this was because he had already refined the Li Fire Essence. Even though the Li Fire Essence had now taken on a physical form, he could still control it.
Sensing the changes of the Li Fire Essence carefully, a piece of information suddenly emerged in his mind.
Vermilion Bird Incinerates Heaven!
This was a talent-like ability. Once unleashed, it could ignite the power of Heaven and Earth within a certain range!
“Igniting the power of Heaven and Earth? This ability is quite terrifying!”
Su Nan was shocked. He imagined what it would be like during a battle when the surrounding power of Heaven and Earth, which could be controlled, suddenly ignited and turned into a sea of fire.
Moreover, it was not ordinary fire, but the Li Fire that could incinerate everything!
Even an Emperor-level leader might not be able to withstand such firepower, let alone a King-level one!
“Not bad! Not bad!”
Su Nan was very satisfied. Now, even without his own power, the Li Fire Essence was comparable to a peak King-level Great Monster. With Vermilion Bird Incinerates Heaven, he might even have a chance to put up a fight against an Emperor-level opponent!
“I wonder if I can still store it in my body now that it has a physical form?” Thinking about this, he subconsciously tried.
With a subtle thought, the flames on the Li Fire Essence’s body suddenly soared, and it reverted from solid to ethereal, turning into a firebird made of flames.
Under his control, the Li Fire Essence seamlessly reentered his body without any resistance.
Obviously, even with a physical form, he could still store the Li Fire Essence inside his body.
However, with its greatly increased spiritual intelligence, the Li Fire Essence clearly disliked being inside him. It eagerly tried to break free from his body, wanting to come out.
With no other choice, Su Nan had to let it out again.
Looking at the Li Fire Essence squatting on his shoulder, preening its feathers from time to time, Su Nan felt a bit of a headache.
His current identity was of the demon clan, Lang Thirteen. Having a little bird formed from the Li Fire Essence by his side was not ideal.
Moreover, the Li Fire Essence was now somehow connected to the Vermilion Bird. If any Demonic Emperor noticed, it wouldn’t be good for him.
“If you don’t want to stay in my body, then go into the Mountain and Water Gourd.”
After weighing his options, Su Nan took out the Mountain and Water Gourd and put the Li Fire Essence inside it.
As soon as the Li Fire Essence entered the Mountain and Water Gourd, it felt a bit uncomfortable. But soon, it adjusted itself and happily turned into a red light, flying around the gourd like a playful child.
Once he made sure that the Li Fire Essence wouldn’t make a fuss inside the Mountain and Water Gourd, Su Nan finally breathed a sigh of relief.
He was about to put away the Xuanhuang Refining Qi Furnace.
Suddenly, he thought of something and stopped what he was doing.
He flipped his hand, and another item appeared in it.
It was also a stone, but this one was a purple-colored stone.
[Oval Purple Stone: An unknown type of purple stone resembling the egg of a certain animal in shape, but nothing special seems to set it apart.]
An unknown purple stone, which he had exchanged for 1500 Demon-slaying Points from the Governor Mansion’s treasure vault back in Tianyun County.
