The Spirit Maiden admitted defeat. There was nothing she could do to An Lin.
She had already used up all of her energy bombs, but An Lin was still alive and kicking. What else could she do? She was also in despair!
"An Lin, can you return all of the soul power you swallowed to me before accepting the inheritance?" the Spirit Maiden asked with a bitter expression.
"I've swallowed all of it and completely assimilated it into my consciousness. Even if you want me to, I won't be able to! "An Lin rolled his eyes.
The Spirit Maiden wiped away the tears that shouldn't have existed and forced herself to pull herself together. "You're about to take away the inheritance of the Vermilion Bird trial, so there's no point in leaving any more soul power here. If you've swallowed it, then so be it … Come with me, I'll give you the Spirit Patriarch's inheritance."
An Lin followed the Spirit Maiden all the way to the end, right in front of the massive Vermilion Bird statue that was sprawled on the ground.
"Is this what the Holy Beast Vermilion Bird looks like?"
An Lin looked at the proud and regal Vermilion Bird, and he could sense a supreme will emanating from it. It was as if it was going to break through all shackles and transcend beyond the cycle of reincarnation, and it was going to soar into the heavens.
"That's right. The Spirit Patriarch and the Vermilion Bird have interacted in the past. He created a type of Soul Extinguishing Holy Flame based on the Vermilion Bird's characteristics. This is the inheritance that you're about to receive!" the Spirit Maiden explained.
"I'll help you activate it so that it can bestow upon you the complete inheritance." The woman's hand lit up and slapped the statue's head. Countless cracks suddenly appeared on the statue before it suddenly exploded.
"Chirp …!" An ethereal cry that sounded like the voice of the Nine Heavens shook one's mind.
An Lin looked at the statue that had exploded, and a Vermilion Bird suddenly flew into the sky. The surging soul power emanating from its body struck even An Lin, who had reached the phenomenal success stage of his consciousness, with a sense of pressure.
"Human, so you have the right to receive the Spirit Patriarch's inheritance?" The Vermilion Bird's body was semi-transparent, as if it were a wisp of divine intent. Even so, it still gave off a sense of superiority.
For some reason, its golden eyes suddenly lit up when it saw An Lin, and the corners of its mouth curled up as if it was smiling.
"Interesting, you actually have my power, and it's the power of the origin … You're developing really well, I want to eat you …"
An Lin discovered that the Vermilion Bird's eyes were filled with some sort of desire. His heart jolted with shock. Could it be that this wisp of divine intent had seen through the Holy Flame Vermilion Bird in his sea of vital energy? This was definitely an intelligent being, and it was very likely that this was the power left behind by the true Vermilion Bird!
An Lin had many speculations in his mind.
At this moment, the Vermilion Bird suddenly pounced on him. In that instant, it was as if the entire world was crushing down on him. The pressure was boundless and terrifying to the point of despair!
"I'll eat you." The Vermilion Bird opened its beak. The aura of a Holy Beast seemed to be able to crush everything.
The Spirit Maiden was also given a fright by this sudden development.
It was quite clear that even she didn't expect the Vermilion Bird to attack An Lin. However, she didn't stop it. Instead, she chortled with glee. "Go, Vermilion Bird! Hurry up and kill An Lin, hahaha …"
"An Lin, you're dead meat! This is the divine intent of a true Holy Beast, and it possesses an immortal nature. No matter how powerful you are, there's no way you can defend against its attack!" The Spirit Maiden chortled with elation.
An Lin looked at the fearsome Vermilion Bird pouncing toward him with a faint smile on his face. A black whale consciousness suddenly appeared behind him before opening its cavernous mouth.
"Waah …"
The whale let loose a loud cry as a boundless vortex suddenly appeared in its mouth.
The Vermilion Bird's expression shifted slightly. At this moment, the black whale behind An Lin also pounced toward the Vermilion Bird.
The Vermilion Bird was struck by an extremely terrifying suction force.
"No! How could this be?! How could you possess a Body of Chaotic Essence? "
The Vermilion Bird struggled frantically in an attempt to escape, but its body was completely unable to fly, and it could only quickly fall into the whale's mouth.
"How could your consciousness be so powerful?! This is impossible! You're only at the Return to Void Stage! "
The Vermilion Bird's expression shifted drastically, and it didn't even have a chance to let loose a wail of anguish before the wisp of divine intent fell into the whale's mouth and was sucked away by the black vortex before disappearing.
"Burp …" The whale closed its mouth and burped with satisfaction before disappearing.
Everything fell silent again.
The Spirit Maiden's arrogant smile was still frozen on her face.
She stared at the scenes unfolding before her eyes, unable to come to her senses for a long time.
"You … you ate the Vermilion Bird?"
After a long while, she finally spoke with incredulity on her face.
"It's just a mere Vermilion Bird's divine intent. So what if I ate it? Even if the real Vermilion Bird was here, I'd smash its head into smithereens if it dared to eat me. So what?" An Lin harrumphed coldly.
Spirit Maiden: "…"
"By the way, give me the inheritance!" An Lin said.
The Spirit Maiden was on the verge of tears. "The Spirit Patriarch left his inheritance in the Vermilion Bird's divine intent, but you've already eaten it, so how am I supposed to give you the inheritance?"
An Lin: "???"
How could something like this happen?
This was going too far!
A Vermilion Bird's divine intent wanted to eat her?
"What do we do now?" An Lin's expression darkened.
"I don't know …" The Spirit Maiden shook her head with a look of despair on her face. "I feel like I'm not suited to be a good trial manager. Not only have I lost all of my soul power, but I've also lost the Spirit Patriarch's divine intent …"
"You really are not a good trial manager. How about you give up your position to me?" An Lin offered.
The Spirit Maiden instantly flared up with rage. "In your dreams!"
Right at this moment, another change occurred in her sea of vital energy.
Boom!
The little whale's stomach suddenly exploded.
A Vermilion Bird flew out from within.
"You want to swallow me? I'm going to incinerate your sea of vital energy! I'll teach you what it means to suffer the consequences of one's own actions! "the Vermilion Bird yelled.
The Holy Flame Vermilion Bird's eyes lit up upon seeing the Vermilion Bird in the sea of vital energy.
"Chirp!
"Ah … What is this? No …! "
The Vermilion Bird had only just escaped from the little whale when it was caught off guard and swallowed by the Holy Flame Vermilion Bird.
Immediately afterward, the Holy Flame Vermilion Bird in the sky became more substantial, and its body also grew larger. Pristine white feathers began to appear on its body, and its aura also became more and more fearsome.
An Kirin was struck by a sense of peril upon seeing this. He felt like his position as the ruler of the sea of vital energy was being threatened.
It was also at this moment that a vast amount of information exploded in An Lin's mind!
Boom!
This was the Spirit Patriarch's core observation of the Holy Flame.
Not only that, but even the Holy Vermilion Bird's core observation of the Holy Flame was injected into An Lin's mind. How to use fire, how to modify it, how to raise it to a higher level.
The Divine Flame within An Lin's body surged at this moment.
The Great Holy Flame became more and more pure, and soul power was imbued into it as it underwent a transformation.
A huge sun began to appear above An Lin's head.
The Great Holy Sun burned the heavens and burned the soul for eternity.
The Great Holy Flame that could incinerate one's consciousness for eternity had finally taken shape!
The Spirit Maiden's expression shifted drastically upon seeing this, and she hurtled back in retreat.
"This is the Holy Soul Flame? No, this is a variant of the Holy Soul Flame! You've received the Spirit Patriarch's inheritance! "The Spirit Maiden stared at An Lin with astonishment on her face.
"Not only that, but I've also received other inheritances …" An Lin chuckled.
He stepped forward, and another type of flame soared into the sky!
