C19 (1/2)

The outside world was in an uproar because of the Demon World's seal, but Liu Yi was currently in a difficult situation. He only felt that his head was heavy and his feet were heavy.

If it wasn't for the fact that that Master had saved him, he would have suspected that Master had done something bad to him. He remembered that in the eight years that the Sunset Faction had existed, he hadn't even coughed, let alone caught a cold. What made him even more speechless was that even though Old Man Tianyan had said that he could already cultivate, he didn't feel anything at all. No matter what he did, he couldn't feel even the tiniest bit of 'Qi'.

However, there was nothing Liu Yi could do about it. He held the beast bone and walked in the forest for two days. Fortunately, he didn't stir up any unrivalled vicious beasts. Otherwise, even if he had ten lives, it would still be useless.

In the evening, a phoenix cry rang out. Liu Yi raised his head and saw the giant bird, whose body covered half of the sky. Its entire body was burning with divine flames. Liu Yi subconsciously shouted, ”Phoenix!”

This bird was exactly the same as the phoenix in the legends of Earth, its entire body burning with divine flames. At this moment, it stood still in midair, looking straight into the distance, as if it was waiting for something.

It stopped a few miles away from the phoenix in the air. Liu Yi was shocked, dragons and phoenixes were legendary divine beasts, but he never would have thought that he would see them here in such a short amount of time.

With the appearance of the two divine beasts, the surroundings immediately became silent. Under the divine pressure, countless vicious beasts prostrated themselves on the ground, prostrating themselves in worship. They didn't even dare raise their heads.

But immediately afterwards, a white fox that was only ten feet long appeared beside the phoenix. Although it was small in size, its aura was not the least bit weaker than the two divine beasts, and the nine tails behind it were extremely conspicuous. The two beasts actually nodded towards the white fox, and then looked towards the same direction.

The three divine beasts stood horizontally in the sky, and an invisible pressure instantly covered an area of 100,000 miles. Liu Yi wasn't far from the three beasts. Under this pressure, his legs were actually trembling unconsciously.

”He didn't come?” Suddenly, Phoenix who was in the middle spoke, her voice clear and pleasant to the ear.

”I sensed the aura of their race, but it was extremely weak!” As the Divine Dragon on the left spoke, he turned around and looked straight at Liu Yi. Then, he revealed a look of understanding, ”The human who receives the protection of the Emperor race? ”Interesting!”

”Oh?” The Nine-tailed White Fox also turned its head. It was only a single word, but it was incomparably charming and moving. Liu Yi felt his bones go soft and couldn't help but be shocked.

”This race has never done things according to the rules. It's not strange for them to protect a single human!” There was a hint of a smile in Phoenix's voice. The three beasts only spoke a few words before they stopped discussing Liu Yi and turned to look at a distant place.

Liu Yi was very curious. Just what in the world could cause such an extremely powerful existence like the Divine Dragon, Phoenix, and Nine-tailed Demon Fox to be so interested? However, he couldn't see clearly within the dense forest.

Late into the night, the three Divine Beasts remained motionless in midair. The night sky was illuminated by the divine flames of the phoenix, making it extremely bright. They focused all of their attention on a distance, waiting for something.

Suddenly, a burst of dazzling light spread out. Liu Yi saw that it was stabbed to the eyes and his tears kept flowing. He quickly turned around. He had only taken a glance from countless miles away.

When the three beasts saw the light, they couldn't help but feel overjoyed. They pounced and stood at the side of the light pillar, forming a pincer attack. It was clear that they did not have any intention of fighting over it. Instead, they wanted to obtain it together.

Suddenly, a bright light streaked across the sky and shot straight into the nine heavens. An artifact suddenly rushed out from the ground. The phoenix spread its wings and immediately enveloped the world, covering the artifact within.

”A mere artifact spirit wants to escape?” The divine dragon sneered, ”If it weren't for me keeping you here for hundreds of thousands of years and allowing you to recover, would you still be here today?”

The light paused in the air and revealed its true form. It was actually a gigantic celestial hammer.

”At least you're smart enough to come with us!” With a shout from the divine dragon, the immortal hammer, which was even bigger than a mountain, immediately became the size of a bronze mountain and flew towards the divine dragon's hand.
