Lightning flashed abruptly.
Luckily, it was building up inside the cloud.
Even so, its effect was shocking.
The entire sky almost turned red!
That was right!
The sky turned red!
The lightning was red!
The white light had a hint of bloody red in it.
It was very terrifying!
The crowd below was so shocked that they no longer knew what to do.
Under the oppressive sky, they could not even escape!
They all knew that once lightning struck, even just a hint of its aftermath would kill them instantly.
Their pupils dilated in despair.
They called out in their hearts, ‘I beg you!
Please, leave!
’ As if she heard the inner pleas of the people, the Fire Phoenix took a glance at the people below her before turning into a ray of light, soaring into the sky.
The extremely thick cloud followed closely behind her, gradually disappearing.
Phew...
They all let out a sigh.
Instantly, all the cultivators and ordinary men in the area felt their bodies go soft.
They panted heavily as they fell to the ground.
So terrifying!
So ferocious!
Someone said in a trembling voice, “An...
an Immortal came down!
” “Immortal?
That was a Goddess!
So powerful!
Way beyond an Immortal!
” “Exactly!
My ancestor’s an Immortal, but she’s incomparable to that woman!
” Although the lightning did not strike, the remaining current made them feel numb and listless.
Gu Ziyu’s scalp went numb as he cried out in shock, “Father, the...
the woman...
” Gu Changqing had the same shocked look on his face.
He took in a deep breath and said, “Don’t speak.
I’ll ask my Grandpa later.
” “Everyone,” a cultivator stood up and said.
“Would anyone like to form a group to investigate this?
An existence like her coming to our Immortal Realm is a big deal.
” Many people fell silent.
Meanwhile.
Vroom!
A flash of lightning struck from the sky.
The woman had flown too far away, but the lightning still lit up the entire sky.
The red lightning was like a red dragon, cutting the sky into two halves.
Just one hint of its aftermath could make one shiver and shrink uncontrollably.
“No, I’m not going.
” “It’s too scary.
Once we go, we’ll die!
” “Who’d have such a crazy thought?
Unbelievable!
How did he survive until now?
” “Everyone.
It’s not safe here.
I should go now.
” “I’m leaving, too.
” Instantly, rays of light rose from the Xia Kingdom.
They shot out in all directions and targeted the area where the lightning struck.
The Fire Phoenix’s face darkened.
She raised her hand and the flames surrounded the lights, forming a shield.
Vroom!
Another flash of lightning struck from above.
The flaming shield reverberated, sending ripples out in waves.
However, clouds were still rapidly forming.
Lightning was also building up at a terrifying speed.
Vroom!
This time, lightning struck three times in a row, creating an opening in the flaming shield made by the woman.
Swiftly after came the fourth strike of lightning!
For an Immortal to descend to the Immortal Realm, one would have to go through a Natural Tribulation.
The stronger the Immortal, the more terrifying the Natural Tribulation.
In the case of the Fire Phoenix, she helped the cultivators Immortalize.
That was one extra crime!
The severity and power of the Natural Tribulation had gone up a few notches!
Even though she was a Fire Phoenix who had real fire in her and was much stronger than her peers, she was still unable to get away from it.
The authority of Heaven was not to be dismissed.
The real dragons and phoenixes had been wiped out over time.
By now, the Fire Phoenix was the only pure phoenix left.
The Fire Phoenix bit her red lip and looked up at the sky.
A pair of wings sprouted from her back, followed by a bright flash of red light soaring to the sky.
Instantly, she had transformed into a bright red phoenix.
Perhaps it was because she had absorbed some of the fire from the Golden Crow that her tail had some golden feathers, too.
Once the phoenix’s wings unfurled, it shot toward the deep end of the forest.
Its speed was extremely fast as if it was traveling at one thousand miles in a blink of an eye.
However, the cloud was still following her closely, not willing to let her go.
Vroom!
One could see that countless red lightning strikes were flashing from above as if they had their own free will!
Each strike came closely after another, causing a terrifying sight!
“Jeez!
” the Fire Phoenix called out gently as fire engulfed her body like a flaming jacket.
However, this jacket seemed to fizzle.
The flames were being weakened significantly by the wind.
Its eyes darkened.
If this went on, perhaps it would have to go through countless years to build up its strength again.
‘I shouldn’t have come down!
‘I came here to find an unknown expert living in this ordinary realm but it seems that I’ve got myself in trouble!
’ Vroom!
Another lightning struck through the layer of flames, leaving a burnt black mark on its body.
It looked at its surroundings in an attempt to survive.
‘Didn’t they say the expert lived around here?
Where is he?
‘Right!
The Firefinch and the Golden Bees!
‘I can use my bloodline to sense their location!
’ The phoenix took a deep breath as it flew in one direction, seeking refuge from the oncoming lightning strikes!
Boom!
Boom!
Boom!
The deadly red lightning strikes crashed at a rhythmic pace, striking one after another from the sky.
The Fire Phoenix was wobbly in the air, trying to avoid the Natural Tribulation.
It could not help saying breathlessly, “Are you done yet?
Is this even fun?
” Right after saying that, the lightning strikes ended!
In fact, it was building up into a scalp-numbing blow.
The force gathered was so strong that it even made the gigantic trees bend from the pressure.
This was going to be a...
massive hit!
The Fire Phoenix looked at it in fear.
It felt as if it was being punished by the sky.
Instantly, it adhered to reality and said, “Bro, I’m sorry!
” Meanwhile, in the deep end of the forest, a simple yet grand four-part architecture appeared in sight.
The four-part architecture was sheltered by the trees with layers of mist covering its surroundings, exuding a sense of mystery from within.
Other than the Firefinch Demon and the Golden Bees, there was a hint of Qi even more terrifying than theirs.
Not only that, the mist surrounding the four-part architecture was actually...
Immortal Qi?!
Why was there such a place in this ordinary realm?
“That...
” The Fire Phoenix’s eyes lit up.
Instead of being stunned, it rushed toward it quickly.
Vroom!
Meanwhile, the Natural Tribulation in the sky had grown to its extremes.
The dark cloud had turned into a red cloud—very cruel.
One look at it would cause one to lose the will to resist.
Vroom!
A thick, pure red, jagged lightning struck!
Vroom!
The world turned bloody red.
The air seemed still, as if numbed by the electric current.
So shocking!
“Help!
Help me!
” The Fire Phoenix’s scalp was itching.
It used up all of its remaining strength to rush toward the yard.
Another lightning struck, illuminating the entire Fallen Town.
Once the final hit struck, it might wipe out the entire Fallen Immortal Mountain entirely!
However, just as the final hit was about to strike the Fire Phoenix, half of the strike was suddenly diverted as if it was being manipulated by something else.
It struck the sharp rod that was on top of the four-part architecture!
Vroom!
The lightning and thunder vibrated vigorously, coursing through the lightning rod and traveling through the walls of the four-part architecture.
It was wild but soon after, everything became calm again.
The remaining portion of the strike landed on the Fire Phoenix’s chest.
Instantly, the flame around it dissipated.
It cried out in pain before falling from the air, landing on the ground heavily.
The clouds dispersed and the night sky returned to its peacefulness.
Click!
The door of the four-part architecture swung open.
Li Nianfan walked out from within, looking suspicious and shocked.
“What happened?
An explosion?
” He was uneasy since the thunderclaps were ringing too loudly.
Even the world lit up for a bit!
The bigshots in the Immortal Realm really loved thunderstorms!
Meanwhile, his eyes widened as his heart skipped a beat.
A gigantic figure had landed not too far away from the four-part architecture.
This figure was too eye-catching.
Its red feathers were sparkling with liveliness.
It almost looked like a moving flame under the night sky.
Firebird?
Demon?
These were Li Nianfan’s first thoughts.
The bird’s appearance was too extraordinary.
It looked exquisite, nothing like an ordinary animal.
After living in this Immortal Realm for so long, he knew at least a thing or two about this realm.
Perhaps the crying sound he heard earlier came from this bird?
Meanwhile, the bird’s wings moved slightly.
The movement was followed by a burnt smell.
Li Nianfan hesitated.
Finally, he gritted his teeth and gradually approached the bird.
This was the first time Li Nianfan had gotten so close to a living demon ever since his arrival in this realm.
Although it was a hurt demon, he still felt uneasy.
“Although I’m an ordinary man, I’ve eaten quite some demon meat.
What’s there to be afraid of?
” He cheered himself up as he approached it while yelling in the direction of the four-part architecture, “Blackie, Xiao Bai, come and protect me!
” If anything were to happen, at least the two of them could help.
If it was not due to the inconvenience, he wanted to carry the old tortoise over from the backyard.
As he went closer, he could finally see the firebird completely.
There were no other words to describe this bird other than beautiful and majestic!
So exquisite!
Both of its eyes were shut and parts of its beautiful feathers were burnt, especially around its chest.
Not only were the feathers burnt off, but there was also a big bleeding wound.
Its chest was rising and falling weakly.
How cruel!
Li Nianfan became even braver.
It was so badly hurt that even if it was alive, it would not cause any threat to him.
He walked over and could not help touching the extremely beautiful feathers on the bird.
‘Wow!
The touch is too...
tender!
’ So warm, so soft, and very smooth!
Li Nianfan could not stop touching it.
After touching it for quite a while, he crossed one leg over and reached out to help the bird turn over.
As he touched the bird’s wings and held it gently, the bird opened its eyes in a blur.
When it saw Li Nianfan, it was first perplexed.
Then, it noticed that Li Nianfan was on top of its body.
It was in a state of shock.
It cried out, sounding embarrassed, “What are you doing?
I’m in this state and you just can’t wait to ride me!?
”
