270: Reinforcements arrived, and the red and yellow beasts descended
Inside the crucible, Fire Kirin's gaze was calm as he watched the strange flames surging around him, attempting to refine him.
He could feel how formidable these flames were; they were among the very best in this world, not only burning the body but also containing the power to refine the soul.
However, as a legendary fire-attribute creature of the world, Fire Kirin naturally possessed an affinity for fire energy and a certain degree of immunity.
He tried to temporarily force back the Heavenly Heart Soul Devouring Flame before him and fully break through the crucible's walls, but after several attempts, all ended in failure.
Even with his powerful physical body, he felt faint traces of a burning sensation, and his soul also experienced a slight stinging pain.
But he showed no worry, constantly pondering a way to break free. Finally, a flash of inspiration struck him, and he exhaled two crimson mists from his nostrils.
The opponent clearly intended to refine him using their Emperor Realm weapon and these strange flames. This was a trump card, a killing move, and it would not be easy to break through in a short time.
Instead, he decided to do the opposite: incorporate and absorb the rare flames before him for his own use. The immediate crisis would naturally be resolved, and his own strength would even increase.
Thinking this, he opened his mouth and inhaled, swallowing all the scorching firelight from the crucible into his belly, enduring the tearing sensation within his body, and forcibly suppressing it.
Outside, Immortal Ancestor, as the master of the flames, immediately sensed that something was wrong. His expression changed slightly, and his gaze was fixed on the now dim crucible.
"He should be fine, right?"
"Should we call Dog Master for help?"
Niu Fei and others watched anxiously, asking Mo Lingxiao, as their cultivation was limited, and they couldn't sense things as clearly as the latter.
Mo Lingxiao also frowned, carefully sensing the changes within the crucible. Daoist rhyme permeated his body, and finally, he let out a sigh of relief.
He had discerned the truth and still chose to believe Fire Kirin. That was an existence on the same level as Big Yellow Dog, and he surely had many backup plans.
Leng Cangxuan, however, was in a frenzy, unleashing one killing move after another. The monstrous demonic energy made even the myriad races of the continent tremble with fear.
Countless beings were terrified, fearing that it would bring about a catastrophe.
With a punch of Ten Thousand Demons, he made the Spirit Emperor spit out traces of black-red blood, causing him injury and sending him flying backward.
The other two, one on each side, used their methods to try their best to stop the opponent. They were confident that if they persisted for a little longer, victory would belong to their side.
Inside the crucible, Fire Kirin's fiery glow extinguished. His massive scales became dull, and his aura gradually diminished.
From time to time, terrifying tremors could be heard from within his body, like the rumbling of heavenly thunder.
But just as he approached a certain limit, his body suddenly shook, and incredibly scorching flames reignited, even more brilliant than before.
He slowly opened his eyes, and in his already majestic pupils, there was an added captivating feeling.
He had completely devoured the Heavenly Heart Soul Devouring Flame, making it his own, and the connection between him and Immortal Ancestor was also severed.
Immortal Ancestor, who was entangled with Leng Cangxuan, spat out a mouthful of blood, and his aura began to become unstable. His eyes were full of disbelief.
He turned his head to look at the crucible, only to see it shaking continuously, as if something inside was constantly impacting it.
The others also felt something and looked over at the same time, only to hear a loud bang, and the rolling sound waves shattered the void.
The indestructible crucible, an Emperor Realm weapon, exploded, and firelight erupted.
A colossal Fire Kirin reappeared. From his body, everyone felt a subtle change different from before.
"Martial Uncle!"
Leng Cangxuan breathed a sigh of relief at the sight. Although his mental state was extraordinary, concern clouded his judgment, and when someone close to him faced a life-threatening crisis, he still lost some composure.
But now seeing him safe and sound, he naturally felt much more relaxed. Seeing the three still in a daze, he curled his lips into a cold smile and seized the opportunity to launch an attack.
The Spirit Emperor was the most miserable; Leng Cangxuan had chosen him again this time, seemingly having a grudge against him.
Fire Kirin had originally paid some price, and his spiritual power was partially consumed, but in the end, he was nourished by the Heavenly Heart Soul Devouring Flame, and his state was currently at its peak.
Seeing Leng Cangxuan fighting alone, a cold glint flashed in his eyes. His figure swayed, and he rushed towards the center of the battlefield.
With his addition, the situation immediately became evenly matched again, difficult to resolve for a time, which made Rebirth Great Emperor's expression gloomy.
Could it be that he, too, would have to join the battle to decide the victor?
...In the courtyard, Lin Yan and Big Yellow Dog and others quietly watched the scene in the sky. The latter's face already showed an uncontrollable expression.
He occasionally looked at Lin Yan, appearing as if he had something to say but hesitated.
Crack!
But at this moment, the Fire Phoenix, which had been dormant for a long time on the tree, forming a fiery cocoon, awakened. It transformed into a red light, leaped onto Lin Yan's shoulder, and chirped happily.
Then, his gaze turned towards the scene in the sky, his two golden-red eyes filled with soaring battle intent, clearly also moved.
As if sensing their reactions, Lin Yan first reached out and stroked the red figure on his shoulder, smiling, "If you want to go, then go. It's about time!"
Hearing this, Fire Phoenix and Big Yellow Dog exchanged glances. The former was the first to fly into the spatial vortex that had not yet disappeared.
Big Yellow Dog then feigned a light cough, then his figure flashed, and he also jumped in.
Fire Kirin once again fought two against one, not falling behind, while Leng Cangxuan tightly suppressed the Spirit Emperor, making him extremely frustrated but helpless.
Rebirth Great Emperor finally couldn't stand it anymore. He leaped into the Emperor Realm, and a terrifying pressure suddenly appeared.
Seeing this, Fire Kirin and Leng Cangxuan seemed to sense something, and they withdrew, avoiding being blocked by the opponent and falling into a predicament.
Rebirth Great Emperor's expression was cold, mixed with a hint of impatience. He strode to the side of Netherworld Great Emperor. At this point, all four dominators of the Chaos Eye had been dispatched.
This shocked the fourteen observing Emperor Realm powerhouses; this was something that had never happened in hundreds of thousands of years.
And Yunxiao and Niu Fei and others became worried again. The other side was being dishonorable, intending to win by sheer numbers.
But the entire sky suddenly brightened by a few points at this moment, filled with dazzling firelight, completely different from Fire Kirin's, representing two distinct auras.
Boom.
At the edge of the sky, a monstrous beast, covering the sky and sun, appeared horizontally and quickly swept towards this place.
It was a monster bathed in flames, flapping its wings, with golden-red feathers covering its entire body, and an incredibly noble aura emanating from it.
It was none other than Fire Phoenix, one of the strongest beings of the demon race!
Netherworld Great Emperor and others, who had originally been confident of victory, had their expressions turn gloomy again upon seeing the newcomer.
And Niu Fei and others were incredibly excited. Reinforcements had finally arrived, and it was even Fire Phoenix, whom they had never seen in action before!
Fire Kirin nodded to Fire Phoenix. They were old friends and needed no words, while Leng Cangxuan respectfully bowed again.
Rebirth Great Emperor, seeing this, had his mood, which had just improved, turn gloomy again, and he muttered in a low voice, "Damn it, is this never-ending?"
"Who do you want to damn?"
But the next moment, a voice responded, accompanied by confusion and dissatisfaction, resounding throughout the world, and a yellow figure standing with hands behind his back also appeared on the scene.
