Chapter 6269 - Seven Seals
0:000:00
One of the voices was very familiar to Long Chen; it was none other than Kun Wufa, who had disappeared after being slapped away by Long Chen. Beside Kun Wufa stood a man who bore a six to seven tenths resemblance to him but whose aura was terrifyingly powerful. The man's eyes were as dark as ink, with chaotic runes flowing within them, as if a universe was evolving in them, his aura astonishing and not beneath Long Biluo.
"Wutian, it's that guy. The egg beside him holds the inheritance of the Chaos Vermilion Bird. Kill him quickly and seize the inheritance," Kun Wufa shouted, pointing at the giant egg beside Long Chen.
The man next to Kun Wufa was none other than Kun Wufa's younger brother, Kun Wutian. The two brothers, Wufa and Wutian, had a reputation for being uncontrollable. Kun Wufa, being the elder, was furious after being slapped away by Long Chen. However, knowing he was no match for Long Chen, and worried that Long Biluo might not be able to handle Long Chen, he immediately used the secret techniques of the Kunpeng Clan to contact his younger brother, Kun Wutian.
At the time, Kun Wutian was also in the process of seizing a secret treasure, but his opponents were numerous and formidable, and with his power, he might not succeed. Under Kun Wufa's persistent urging, Kun Wutian had no choice but to abandon the opportunity there and rush over immediately. After all, the Qiankun Cauldron on Long Chen might be the greatest opportunity on the entire Heavenly Domain Battlefield, and Kun Wutian could not resist such temptation.
To contact Kun Wutian, Kun Wufa had to move far away from the Flame World to avoid interference and use the secret technique. By the time Kun Wutian was brought here, the battle had already ended. The two rushed over and were delighted to find Long Chen still here, and the aura of the Chaos Vermilion Bird was also present, making them ecstatic.
Especially since Long Chen's aura was very weak at this moment, indicating that he had just experienced a great battle and was in an extremely weakened state.
"Brother, you go and seize the Chaos Vermilion Bird's inheritance, leave these two to me," Kun Wutian said, waving his hand, as Emperor Flames spread out, and his violent power rapidly ascended.
Long Chen was shocked to discover that Kun Wutian's Emperor Flames had reached six hundred and ninety-two, just one less than Long Biluo. This meant that this person's strength was possibly on par with Long Biluo.
"Buzz."
With his brother backing him, Kun Wufa's courage instantly grew, not paying any attention to Long Chen and Meng Qi, and charged straight towards the giant egg where Xiao Yun was.
"Boom."
However, at this moment, the giant egg exploded with a roar, and a seven-colored divine light shot out like sharp swords, piercing through the heavens. Poor Kun Wufa, just as he approached the giant egg, was struck by the terrifying aura, spewing blood and flying backward.
"The inheritance is over?"
Kun Wufa's pupils constricted as he looked at Xiao Yun, who was bathed in Nirvana Flames, with seven-colored divine light swirling around her.
"Boom."
Suddenly, Xiao Yun opened her mouth wide, and a pillar of flame shot out. Kun Wufa shouted, and a Kunpeng apparition unfolded, gathering all the Emperor Flames together to form a sky-covering Kunpeng, which slammed into the flame pillar. The collision between the flames and the Kunpeng saw the Kunpeng apparition pierced through, turning into a sky full of dust.
Kun Wutian's face changed dramatically, and suddenly wings spread behind him, causing the void to tremble. In an instant, he vanished from his original spot. When he reappeared, he was already beside Kun Wufa, grabbing him, and with a flap of his wings, a flash of golden light, he vanished instantly.
The Wufa and Wutian brothers came quickly and left even faster. Kun Wutian's speed was astonishing, seemingly not much slower than Long Biluo wielding the Divine Emperor Artifact.
Xiao Yun spread her wings across the sky, piercing through the void with a whistle, but after a few breaths, she returned. Clearly, her much-vaunted speed was inferior to Kun Wutian's, and she couldn't catch up.
"Damn it, those two bastard brothers escaped so fast," Xiao Yun, transformed into a young girl, said with a face full of unwillingness.
Long Chen was also secretly surprised; Xiao Yun was a Swift Cloud Devouring Heaven Sparrow, known for their speed. Among the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, there were many mighty beings, but those faster than her were extremely rare. The Kunpeng Clan, known for their formidable physical strength, weren't particularly famed for their speed, though they were fast among other clans. In the divine bird lineage, Kunpeng couldn't make the top ten in speed, but the Swift Cloud Devouring Heaven Sparrow could make the top five.
Kun Wutian could actually outpace Xiao Yun, who had absorbed the Chaos Vermilion Bird's power, meaning Kun Wutian either had unique achievements in speed or had used some other means.
Seeing Xiao Yun upset about losing in speed, Long Chen and Meng Qi exchanged a smile, quickly comforting Xiao Yun.
"The Kunpeng Clan is very domineering, and there are few in the divine bird lineage who aren't bullied by them. Unfortunately, I have seven seals set by the Vermilion Bird senior on me, and without breaking the seals, I can't access its full inheritance. Otherwise, they'd never escape," Xiao Yun said, clenching her fists, her face full of anger.
"Seven seals?"
Long Chen was startled, and after listening to Xiao Yun's detailed explanation, he finally understood. The Nirvana power of the Chaos Vermilion Bird was too powerful for Xiao Yun to bear. When Xiao Yun absorbed energy to her limit, there was still a massive amount of Nirvana power she couldn't absorb. The Chaos Vermilion Bird set seven seals to seal away this Nirvana power.
For a long time, Xiao Yun wouldn't need to cultivate, only needing to peacefully refine the Nirvana power. According to Xiao Yun, as long as she broke the seven seals and refined all the power, she could break through to the Divine Emperor realm.
Hearing that she could break through to the Divine Emperor on her own, Long Chen couldn't help but take a deep breath. The Nirvana power, retaining only a tenth, preserved very little of its essence from when it was alive. And the Chaos Vermilion Bird wasn't even voluntarily undergoing Nirvana but was killed, so its condensed Nirvana essence was even less.
Even so, this Nirvana power could directly elevate Xiao Yun to the Divine Emperor realm. Just how powerful was the Chaos Vermilion Bird in life?
Could the legend be true that it wasn't an ordinary Chaos Vermilion Bird but a Vermilion Bird King with the bloodline of the Sparrow Ancestor?
"Xiao Yun, did the Vermilion Bird senior say anything to you?" Long Chen suddenly had a thought.
"The senior said that I am now part of the noble Vermilion Bird Clan and that I should go to the Vermilion Bird Clan to acknowledge my ancestry," Xiao Yun said with a touch of sadness, her eyes filled with anxiety and worry.
Back then, she had gone to the Swift Cloud Devouring Heaven Sparrow Clan with great joy to acknowledge her ancestry but was rejected, leaving her feeling deeply inadequate and hurt. The Chaos Vermilion Bird noticed her lack of confidence and thus told her she was no longer part of the Swift Cloud Devouring Heaven Sparrow Clan but a noble member of the Vermilion Bird Clan.
But Xiao Yun, feeling lowly, was worried about whether the Vermilion Bird Clan, the ancestor of the divine bird lineage, would accept her. The Swift Cloud Devouring Heaven Sparrow Clan hadn't wanted her, so she was very apprehensive. Seeing Xiao Yun's worried little face, Long Chen felt both heartache and anger.
The Swift Cloud Devouring Heaven Sparrow Clan was truly foolish beyond measure. Once, you treated Xiao Yun with indifference, but in the future, you'll find yourselves beneath her notice.
"What Swift Cloud Devouring Heaven Sparrow, what Chaos Vermilion Bird, these titles and halos are nothing special. You just need to know that you're my sister, Long Chen's sister. Anyone who dares to bully you, even if it's the Heavenly Emperor, I'll slap them," Long Chen comforted her softly.
Hearing Long Chen's comforting words, Xiao Yun immediately beamed with joy. Children are children; once they're happy, there's no real sorrow.
"Long Chen, staying here is not a good idea. We should find a place for you to heal," Meng Qi suggested.
Long Chen nodded. Xiao Yun transformed into a divine sparrow, carrying Long Chen and Meng Qi, and soared into the clouds, disappearing in an instant.
