He was immediately alerted.
There was something very wrong with this small and delicate bird. It was very dangerous.
It exchanged glances with Chu Li and suddenly flew into the sky as if it was going far away. It moved as fast as lightning and reached a height of a hundred meters in the blink of an eye. Then, with a loud "bang", the bird suddenly grew more than ten times its original size to the size of a spirit crane.
Its entire body was warm and white with a hint of redness as if it was carved out of red jade.
It floated in the void without moving as if it had turned into a red jade statue. It floated in the air without flapping its wings and looked down at Chu Li with its clear eyes.
A name suddenly flashed in Chu Li's mind. "Vermilion Bird!"
Chu Li could not care less about what it was going to do next. He appeared next to the Azure Dragon in a flash and placed his left hand on its back before disappearing with it. The next moment, he appeared next to the Vitality Devouring Tortoise and placed his right hand on its shell to disappear.
The Azure Dragon and the Vitality Devouring Tortoise were already trembling and could not move as if they were paralyzed from fear. This was the fundamental suppression of a superior spirit beast over a inferior spirit beast. It was an uncontrollable instinctive reaction, just like how humans would tense up when they saw a giant snake.
In the void, the Vermilion Bird's eyes flickered with flames as if it was real. It stared coldly at Chu Li.
"Bang!" Chu Li's vision turned black and his chest felt stuffy. He realized that he could not break through the void and almost fainted from the impact.
When he regained consciousness, he realized that his surroundings had been occupied by the Spirit Sea. The Vermilion Bird's Spirit Sea had enveloped a human and two beasts.
Chu Li felt as if he was immersed in magma.
His body was bound by the magma and could not move. The scorching heat spread from his body to his soul. He could endure the physical pain, but the pain in his soul was unbearable. He almost screamed at the sky.
The Azure Dragon and the Vitality Devouring Tortoise's bodies emitted a faint brilliance. The Azure Dragon emitted a green light while the Vitality Devouring Tortoise emitted a black light. Both of them were three feet away from their bodies to protect themselves from the erosion of the Spirit Sea.
They could faintly feel Chu Li's pain when they saw his distorted face. Therefore, they ignored their instinctive reactions and rushed toward the Vermilion Bird in the void.
As soon as the Green Dragon Energy-devouring Tortoises flew into the air, their Spiritual Ocean suddenly surged like flowing lava, forming a huge turbulent force that pushed them backward. They could not help but step away from the Vermilion Bird and Chu Li.
The brilliance on their bodies began to shrink until it was only a foot away from their bodies.
Chu Li felt even more pained. When he saw that the two beasts could not get close to the Vermillion Bird, he wanted to get closer to them. As long as he could get close to the Azure Dragon or the Vitality Devouring Tortoise, their protective energy barriers would be able to protect him.
Furthermore, the combination of the Dragon Taming Art and the two Spirit Beasts would allow them to unleash even greater power. Perhaps they would be able to stop the Vermilion Bird.
However, the Vermilion Bird floating in the air seemed to have seen through his thoughts. The Spiritual Qi Sea surged like a huge wave, and he couldn't help but retreat. The distance between him and the two spirit beasts was getting farther and farther, and his heart was in despair.
The scorching heat became more and more intense, and the pain almost made him think that he had already turned into ashes.
In his despair, an idea flashed through his mind.
An enormous Withering Glory Tree suddenly appeared in the void of his mind, towering into the endless void.
When the Withering Glory Tree appeared, he calmed his mind. Even though the burning pain in his soul was still there, he no longer panicked. The Supreme Vajra leaped onto one of the tree forks of the Life and Death Scripture, and the ninth level of the Indestructible Titanium heart technique began to circulate.
Previously, he had cultivated the eighth level in the thunderbolt, but he did not manage to cultivate the ninth level. Now that the ninth level of the Indestructible Titanium heart technique was activated, the first eight levels were cast aside. His body no longer had any power to resist, and it was empty, allowing the Spiritual Ocean to corrode it.
His body seemed to be burning. Chu Li gritted his teeth and desperately circulated the ninth level of the Indestructible Titanium.
Every inch of his body seemed to be burning, turning into flames and dying. Under the urging of the Life and Death Scripture, he was reborn, burned again, and died again. The cycle repeated.
The ninth level of the heart technique circulated endlessly, once, twice, thrice … After circulating it thirty-six times in one go, his body suddenly tensed up, and every inch of his body seemed to have undergone a strange change.
Every inch of his body seemed to be a small Dantian that accumulated the inner energy of the Supreme Vajra Scripture. It was pure and wonderful, and it formed an endless sea of inner energy that covered every part of his body.
The Life and Death Scripture desperately absorbed the spiritual energy from beyond the heavens. At first glance, it looked like a huge vermilion pillar that connected the top of Chu Li's head and the void.
The Vermilion Bird looked up at the void as if it had seen this vermilion pillar.
It let out a clear cry that resounded through the void.
Then, an enormous force that could topple mountains and overturn seas came crashing down, as if a mountain had fallen on their bodies. In an instant, their vision darkened, and they felt suffocated.
Maha-Vairocana's Immovable Buddha opened its eyes and formed a mudra with both of its hands. It slowly chanted the scripture, and the enormous force that was pressing down on his body suddenly disappeared. Chu Li felt relaxed, and he calmly looked up at the Vermilion Bird.
Chu Li was not that concerned about Song Zhifan's golden crown because he had the Maha-Vairocana's Immovable Buddha's Immovable Buddha. Even if he was sitting in the Spiritual Ocean, he would not be oppressed by its majestic aura, and he could face it calmly.
He glanced at the Azure Dragon and the Vitality Devouring Turtle in the distance, and his expression changed slightly.
The Azure Dragon and the Vitality Devouring Turtle were lying on the ground, motionless. The protective splendor was stuck tightly to their bodies, almost shrinking into them. If this went on, they would not be able to protect themselves if he exerted even a little more force.
Chu Li was anxious, and he struggled to move forward in the turbulent Spiritual Ocean. He wanted to get closer to the two spirit beasts and use the Dragon Taming Technique to help them.
Although his Nine Layers Indestructible Body of Vajra could withstand the erosion of the Spiritual Qi Sea, the power contained in the Spiritual Qi Sea was so vast that he could hardly resist it. Every step he took was very strenuous, and he had to use all his strength.
Step by step, the distance between him and the Azure Dragon and the Vitality Devouring Turtle was shortened from twenty meters, and then ten meters. Now, there were only five steps left.
Before Chu Li could rejoice, the Azure Dragon and the Vitality Devouring Turtle were suddenly pushed away, and they were twenty meters away again.
Chu Li looked up at the Vermilion Bird.
The Vermilion Bird's burning eyes were cold and merciless, as if it was looking at a dead man.
It was confused that Chu Li could withstand its Spiritual Ocean and pressure, but it wanted to kill Chu Li even more, and its gaze became colder.
Chu Li gritted his teeth and moved forward again, but when he was five steps away, the two spirit beasts were pushed away again, as if they were playing tricks on him.
Chu Li suppressed the urge to use the God Killing Blade.
Although he had suffered, he did not die, so his killing intent was not that strong. Moreover, he had concerns. If he killed the Vermilion Bird, which was a rank one spirit beast, he would definitely incur the wrath of the Spirit Beasts of Hundred-Thousand Hills, and they would hunt him down. He did not know how much trouble it would cause. If they ran out of Hundred-Thousand Hills to hunt him down, none of the people around him would survive.
Looking at the Vermilion Bird's body, which was white with a hint of red, it was obvious that it had not reached supreme grade. A real Vermilion Bird was a supreme grade spirit beast, and its entire body would be red, but this one's body was only white with a hint of red. It was obvious that it had not reached that level, and was probably still rank one.
Seeing that Chu Li was being toyed with so much difficulty, the Azure Dragon and the Vitality Devouring Turtle cried out in fear. The Azure Dragon let out a long roar, and the Vitality Devouring Turtle raised its head and roared.
Chu Li's expression changed, and he knew that this was bad.
