An Lin used his Divine Simulation Technique and discovered that not only was Xu Xiaolan losing her blood essence, but she was also losing her destiny and life soul!
As for the Great Empress Vermilion Bird, her connection with the Vermilion Bird Heart Essence was still extremely tight. She had no intention of severing the Vermilion Bird Heart Essence. No matter how much blood essence Xu Xiaolan released, she couldn't refine the Vermilion Bird Heart Essence.
At this moment, the Vermilion Bird Heart Essence was absorbing Xu Xiaolan's blood essence, destiny, and life soul through an extremely secretive method. Then, it was feeding the Great Empress Vermilion Bird.
This wasn't inheriting the Holy Berth! This was taking Xu Xiaolan's life!
An Lin's roar startled the two people who were in the middle of the Holy Berth handover.
"An Lin?" Xu Xiaolan was slightly dazed. She didn't understand why An Lin would ask her to stop at such a crucial moment. However, she still believed An Lin's words unconditionally. She stopped the infusion of blood essence and distanced herself from the Vermilion Bird Heart Essence.
Seeing this, the Great Empress Vermilion Bird's expression changed drastically. "Are you crazy? Don't stop! If you do this, both of us will suffer from the backlash of the Vermilion Bird Heart Essence. In serious cases, both our bodies and souls will be destroyed! "
Xu Xiaolan didn't care and quickly retreated.
She had read many things from An Lin's expression. This Holy Berth handover ceremony might not be like what she had imagined!
Sure enough, the moment Xu Xiaolan distanced herself from the Vermilion Bird Heart Essence, the uncomfortable feeling in her heart dissipated significantly. Even the feeling of extreme weakness and pain started to lessen.
"Pfff …!" The Great Empress Vermilion Bird suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood.
M-hm, she would indeed suffer a backlash. However, it seemed like only the Great Empress Vermilion Bird suffered a backlash …
What did this mean? This meant that the Great Empress Vermilion Bird was still the one who truly controlled the Vermilion Bird Heart Essence and the entire mysterious ceremony. If the ceremony was interrupted like this, she would suffer the most intense backlash.
If it really was Xu Xiaolan who was refining the Vermilion Bird Heart Essence, then there was no way that Xu Xiaolan could remain unscathed. It was more likely that Xu Xiaolan had escaped from her opponent's blade.
"Great Empress Vermilion Bird, what a cunning move … You actually dared to absorb Xiaolan's essence blood essence, as well as her fate and soul …" An Lin was enraged to an unprecedented level. A terrifying aura swept through the surroundings, and an aura that wasn't inferior to that of a God of Creation Stage cultivator engulfed heaven and earth.
A look of surprise appeared on the Great Empress Vermilion Bird's face. It was as if she hadn't expected that An Lin would actually be able to see through her mystic technique.
But very quickly, a ruthless look appeared on her face, and she made a grabbing motion in the direction of the fleeing Xu Xiaolan.
Crack!!
Dark red energy appeared from all directions, imprisoning Xu Xiaolan in the void.
This was the supreme Origin Power that belonged to the Vermilion Bird, and it had an absolute suppressive effect on Xu Xiaolan.
"Her life was given to me by me in the first place. What's wrong with me taking back everything that belongs to me?!" A sinister smile appeared on the Great Empress Vermilion Bird's face as she rapidly dashed toward Xu Xiaolan. The Vermilion Bird Heart Essence in front of her once again erupted with a blinding light, and it stimulated the bloodline within the female's body.
"Ah …!!" Xu Xiaolan screamed in pain as blood spurted out from the wound on her wrist again.
The Vermilion Bird Heart Essence greedily sucked away Xu Xiaolan's blood. This time, it was brazenly sucking her blood essence, and its speed was extremely fast. Not only was it devouring her essence blood, but it was also frenziedly absorbing her fate, her divine sense, and her life force. Moreover, it was also starting to strip away her bloodline.
"You're seeking death!!!"
An enraged roar sounded like the roar of a Heavenly God.
An Lin instantly activated his Five Elemental Body, and his golden wheel tore through the void. In the blink of an eye, he arrived beside the Great Empress Vermilion Bird and punched her!
The Great Empress Vermilion Bird extended a slender hand and lightly blocked the path of An Lin's fist. Her expression was cold and indifferent. "Do you really think that you're invincible just because you've subdued the Six Vermilion Bird Sages? You don't understand true power at all … "
"Bang!"
The sound of bones shattering reverberated in the air.
The Great Empress Vermilion Bird's eyes widened in shock as she saw that her palm had already been twisted and ruptured.
Boom!
The fist projection exploded forth.
The Vermilion Bird Spell Altar was shattered into pieces by the shockwaves from the fist projection.
The Great Empress Vermilion Bird's body was blasted back tens of thousands of meters.
"Xu Xiaolan, are you alright?" An Lin retracted his fist and looked toward Xu Xiaolan.
Xu Xiaolan took advantage of the instant when the Great Empress Vermilion Bird was injured to quickly struggle free. Then, she transformed into a bolt of lightning and increased the distance between her and the Vermilion Bird Heart Essence.
The power of the Vermilion Bird Heart Essence possessed an absolute suppressive power over the power within her body. It was as if a low-level being was completely powerless before a higher-level being.
"I'm fine. Be careful, An Lin!" Xu Xiaolan's face was deathly pale as she retreated. However, she still shouted loudly. At the same time, she formed seals with her hands and unleashed millions upon millions of holy flame arrows that were powerful enough to destroy the divine dao toward the Great Empress Vermilion Bird.
"Everything you have was given to you by me. Everything you use is my power … How are you going to fight me?" The Great Empress Vermilion Bird's body came to a halt, and her battered hand had already recovered. Her blue eyes ferociously glared at the oncoming holy flame arrows. The arrows that filled the sky were instantly unable to maintain their forms under her glare, and they exploded into balls of flames where they stood.
The true Vermilion Bird could perfectly suppress those who possessed the Vermilion Bird bloodline!
Rip!
Just as the Great Empress Vermilion Bird was dealing with Xu Xiaolan, a deafening ripping sound suddenly erupted.
The Great Empress Vermilion Bird discovered in horror that the Vermilion Bird Heart Essence floating in the distance had actually been sliced in half by An Lin's Evil-Slaying Sword!
A rich, dark-red Vermilion Bird power surged into the surroundings like a flood.
"No!!!" The Great Empress Vermilion Bird lost her composure again. "How is this possible? The Vermilion Bird Heart Essence is a unique item condensed from the supreme Vermilion Bird's nomological laws! How could it be sliced apart so easily?!"
An Lin laughed. The supreme Vermilion Bird's nomological laws? Sorry, but his Evil-Slaying Sword possessed the power to slice apart nomological laws. Coupled with his dao sword, how could it not slice apart the unprotected Vermilion Bird Heart Essence?
The Great Empress Vermilion Bird immediately used all of her power to summon back the Vermilion Bird Heart Essence. Having suffered a backlash from the Vermilion Bird Heart Essence's destruction, she was severely wounded once again. Streaks of bloody wounds appeared on her body, and blood flowed continuously from them.
How could An Lin and Xu Xiaolan let go of such a good opportunity? Now that they had completely fallen out with each other, the only thing they could do was to kill each other. At the same time, they pounced toward the nearby Great Empress Vermilion Bird.
The Great Empress Vermilion Bird swallowed the Vermilion Bird Heart Essence, which had been glued back together, into her stomach again. Then, her aura soared explosively, and the projection of a gigantic and majestic phoenix appeared behind her. Its holy and noble aura seemed as if it wanted to trample the entire heavens beneath its feet.
Before Xu Xiaolan had even attacked, she could already feel a suffocating might bearing down on her. She had clearly already reached the pinnacle of the Vermilion Bird Dao. However, the might unleashed by the Great Empress Vermilion Bird still completely suppressed the bloodline power within her body.
"Kneel!" the Great Empress Vermilion Bird yelled as she looked at Xu Xiaolan.
Xu Xiaolan felt as if a supreme god had appeared before her and demanded her to submit. Meanwhile, her bloodline had already involuntarily submitted to this being. At the same time, her legs started to move uncontrollably, and she was about to kneel down.
"You kneel first!" An Lin's eyes turned pure gold, and a supreme divine might crashed into the Great Empress Vermilion Bird's body. This was the Super Divine Might Technique, and it could instantly make the Six Vermilion Bird Sages kneel at the same time.
The Great Empress Vermilion Bird lived up to her reputation as the most arrogant and powerful being. Even though she was struck by the Super Divine Might Technique, she was still able to remain standing.
However, a pair of large hands had already pressed down viciously on her shoulders!
Boom!
The Great Empress Vermilion Bird knelt down!
In the instant before Xu Xiaolan's knees hit the ground, she had already knelt down!
Then, Xu Xiaolan's knees finally hit the ground, and she completely knelt to the ground.
Just like that, the two women knelt to each other.
A peculiar silence ensued.
