The space distorted around him before An Lin found himself on a crimson continent.
The white spatial gate slowly shrank behind him, beforepletely disappearing.
There were crimson clouds in the sky as far as the eye could see, with the asional plume of scorching mes sting through the clouds, or exploding in the air, or falling down to the ground like a meteor shower bearing its fangs to the world.
The temperatures were extremely high here and heat waves rippled throughout the crimson continent, making the air itself shimmer and warp. If a Dao Body Stage cultivator was to appear here, they probably wouldn’t even be able tost fifteen minutes.
“Looks like Ji Yongfang, Shangguan Yi, and Yang Yuan have already set off to look for projections of the Vermillion Bird me Wing.” Mo Hai stood beside An Lin and observed with a smile.
“New projections of the Vermillion Bird me Wing only materialize once every few years and are exceedingly rare. Therefore, we’re technically allpeting against one another, so it’s no surprise that they’ve set off straight away instead of wasting time,” Lu Jiazhi replied slowly.
An Lin cast his eyes toward the boundless expanse of mountain ranges and crimson earth and was a little bit overwhelmed. “I’ve heard there’s a chance that powerful mutant beasts have projections of the Vermillion Bird me Wing within their bodies, while the rest of the projections would appear in the perilous mystic realms as well as in the clouds above.
“However, the projections in the clouds are the most difficult to find, and you’ll be constantly bombarded by the scorching power of mes during your search, thereby making it the hardest method avable to find the projections. So, which method do you guys intend to pursue?”
Mo Hai looked up into the air and heaved a resigned sigh. “I can’t attract the projections like Sister Xu Xian, so I think I’ll pass on the projections in the sky. I’m gonna go fight some mutant beast! It seems to be the most simple and direct method!”
“I’m going to go explore the mystic realms in the west. After all,bat is not my forte, but my self-preservation skills are passable,” Lu Jiazhi chimed in.
There were all sorts of unstable mystic realms littered throughout the western region of the Vermilion Bird Trial Grounds, while powerful ancient mutant beasts roamed the northern region. The eastern region was said to be an endless sea of mes, and apparently, there were many extremely valuable treasures in the southern region, but most sect disciples refrained from venturing there as the probability of death in the trials there were all in excess of ny percent.
“I think I’ll go look for some mutant beasts as well, I don’t have any other strong traits, but I sure can fight.” An Lin decided after a momentary pause.
“Hahaha… that sounds great, I knew Mr. An Lin would rather be in thepany of a prodigy like me.” Mo Hai pped An Lin’s shoulder as heughed heartily. “I made a promise to Elder Zhu so I’ll definitely protect you. Let’s go together, and you can have the first projection of the Vermillion Bird me Wing we encounter!”
An Lin was quite touched by Mo Hai’s gesture, and he nodded with a solemn expression. “Alright, we’ll go together, and we’ll strive to find the high-grade projections of the Vermillion Bird me Wing!”
“Of course, I’m the number one young prodigy of the sect, I might as well not go back if I can’t even find a high-grade projection of the Vermillion Bird me Wing.”
The projections of the Vermillion Bird me Wing were split into three grades; inferior-grade, medial-grade, and high-grade. If one was able to get a higher grade projection of the Vermillion Bird me Wing, they would be able to obtain a more pure and vast holy me when epting the power of the Holy Vermilion me.
“I’ll be taking my leave then, good luck to you both!”
Lu Jiazhi smiled at both of them before flying away toward the west atop his sword.
Mo Hai turned toward An Lin. “Let’s set off as well.”
“Sure!” An Lin nodded before flying into the air atop his ck brick.
Mo Hai used a crimson, antique saber as his transportation device and followed along behind An Lin.
The two of them transformed into two streaks of light hurtling toward the north.
An Lin looked down on the ground below, searching for signs of mutant beasts.
There wasn’t really a system of cultivation bases for the mutant beasts here, the only way to roughly gauge their strength was to assess the purity of their powers of fire.
All these mutant beasts were fire-type beasts, and they’re divided into four categories; normal fire mutant beasts, spirit fire mutant beasts, earth fire mutant beasts, and heavenly fire mutant beasts.
Normal fire mutant beasts were the weakest and mostmon mutant beast here, and none of them yielded projections of the Vermillion Bird me Wing; spirit fire mutant beasts had a certain probability of yielding inferior-grade projections of the Vermillion Bird me Wing; earth fire mutant beasts had a certain probability of yielding medial-grade projections of the Vermillion Bird me Wing; and heavenly fire mutant beasts had a probability of yielding high-grade projections of the Vermillion Bird me Wing.
Mo Hai’s target was none other than a heavenly fire mutant beast. Although they were only at Soul Formation Initial Stage, they had the sect mystic treasure with them, which gave them a much greater chance of hunting down a heavenly fire mutant beast.
An Lin wanted to maximize the power of holy mes he could manifest within his sea of vital energy in order to provide enough food for An Kirin, so he too was trying to obtain a high-grade projection of the Vermillion Bird me Wing.
Boom…
A short whileter, the ground below the two of them suddenly trembled and what appeared to be a wave of fire swept toward them from below.
An Lin looked down onto the ground to find a vast expanse of yellow mes sweeping toward them with overwhelming power.
“Those are Explosive Fire Rats. They consume earth fire and are only normal fire mutant beast, so we can just ignore them.”
Mo Hai nced at the Explosive Fire Rats below before turning his gaze elsewhere.
However, An Lin was surveying the wave of mes below with intrigue.
These were hundreds of ming purple rats, each of them bigger than a cow. They were all racing along the ground at high speed, and from afar, it looked like a moving carpet of mes, thereby creating quite an interesting spectacle to behold.
An Lin and Mo Hai flew further and further, passing through perilous phenomena like dark fire winds and heavenly meteor mes as well as encountering an attack from a group of Flying me Birds, but all of those were minor threats which were easily brushed aside.
Two hourster, they arrived at a series of imposing mountain ranges.
Each of the mountains here was several kilometers tall; some had even stretched into the ming clouds above, so it was impossible to tell just how tall they were.
Boom!
A resounding boom suddenly erupted between heaven and earth.
A huge amount of crimsonva suddenly began to pour forth from a mountain in the distance while countless gigantic blobs of magma crashed to the ground, creating a lethal crimson fireworks disy and turning an area of several kilometers in radius into no man’snd.
“There are usually powerful mutant beasts in areas where volcanoes are particrly active, let’s go have a look!” Mo Hai’s eyes instantly lit up, and he led the way toward the volcano atop his crimson saber.
An Lin followed along behind Mo Hai, appreciating the doomsday spectacle along the way.
The two of them drew closer and closer to the volcanic crater until they were less than ten thousand feet away.
“Slow down! I can see a ck Crystal me Python!”
Mo Hai suddenly came to a stop and ushered for An Lin to do the same.
The volcano was still erupting in a thunderous disy as the two of them silently descended from the sky.
“See that? There’s a huge rock on the side of the mountain there that greatly resembles the shape of a python.” Mo Hai pointed toward something in the northeast with an excited expression.
An Lin was initially quite confused, but then he looked in the direction Mo Hai was pointing to discover a ck python over a thousand feet in length looking up at the erupting volcano as it tried to obscure its presence.
Only Mo Hai’s sensitivity to me power fluctuations allowed him to discover the python. Otherwise, the python’s camouge was near-perfect as it blended in with the dark mountain around it extremely well.
The two of them erased their presences and gradually drew closer.
“This ck Crystal me Python is an earth fire mutant beast withbat prowessparable to a Soul Formation Stage cultivator, so don’t let down your guard. We need to look for the perfect opportunity before we strike,” Mo Hai instructed in a low voice.
An Lin nodded with a solemn expression. “Alright!”
Mo Hai was just about to devise a n when An Lin suddenly disappeared in a rush of wind.
Thump!
The earsplitting sound of a sonic boom suddenly erupted.
A figure with white Wings of Wind sprouting from its back tore through the air at unimaginable speed while wielding a ck longsword, which also had streaks of white wind revolving around its de.
The distance of several thousand feet was covered in an instant!
The ck Crystal me Python opened its eyes and looked into a certain direction with a fearful expression. ck, crystalline mes had just begun to materialize on its body when the streak of white light shed past in a lethal trajectory.
Boom!
The python’s gigantic head detached from its body while the rest of its body fell to the ground amid a shower of fiery blood.
Mo Hai stared at the figure in the distance with his mouth hanging wide open while being at aplete loss for words.
Weren’t they supposed to wait patiently for an opportunity before striking?
An Lin turned to him with a smile. “How did you like my blitzkrieg tactic?”
Mo Hai’s lips twitched as he nodded in admiration. “Mr. An Lin, your flexing skills are surely the best under the heavens!”
