Even Fang Chen did not expect that he would be troubled by a formation for so long.
Whoosh!
It had been three years. The golden stripes at the entrance of the cave were still emitting a scorching light. All the stripes seemed motionless, but in fact, as long as Fang Chen touched the stripes, it would cause a great change and cause a strong repulsion from the formation.
Although Fang Chen was not afraid of the repulsion from the formation, he could not break it by force.
Moreover, he found that the formation was very mysterious. If he tried to break it by force, it was very likely that he would destroy the entire passage.
In other words, the formation had the ability to self-destruct. Once it felt a strong external pressure, it would self-destruct.
Whoosh!
Fang Chen slowly opened his eyes and spat out a mouthful of turbid air.
Three years ago, after he had defeated the Sword Maniac, the latter had charged into the waterfall and disappeared without a trace. In the end, after searching for some clues, Qin Nan had determined that the Sword Maniac's target was this tunnel.
"Why was Sword Maniac able to enter, but I was trapped?"
Fang Chen could not understand. Was it because Sword Maniac had obtained the Drunken Sword Inheritance?
Three years was just the blink of an eye for a Five Elements Saint Realm expert.
After all, their cultivation time was measured in epochs.
Just as he was about to rest, the Vermilion Bird Bloodline in his body suddenly changed.
"Hmm?"
Fang Chen looked inside himself and was shocked.
In the past three years, he had been obsessed with studying the golden striped formation and neglected the changes in his body. He did not expect the Vermilion Bird Bloodline to have transformed to this extent.
Buzz!
Fang Chen's mind moved and the Vermilion Bird Bloodline in his perfect bloodline was instantly removed. A vast and ancient aura spread out and a terrifying Divine Beast Aura instantly filled the void.
"Vermilion Bird?"
Fang Chen felt an immense pressure. He lifted his head and vaguely saw that the aura emanating from the bloodline above his head had condensed into the phantom of a Vermillion Bird.
"So powerful."
Although it was just a shadow, it was enough to shock Fang Chen.
"Is this the legendary ancient divine beast, the Vermillion Bird?"
Roar!
Suddenly, the Vermilion Bird's shadow let out a loud and clear cry. Then, it flapped its wings and soared into the sky.
"Hmm?"
At first, Fang Chen was at a loss and did not know what to do.
However, when he completely immersed himself in it, he discovered that although the Vermillion Bird's image seemed to be flying casually, upon closer inspection, its flight path was extremely clear.
It seemed to be outlining a great world.
"This is?"
Fang Chen was stunned for a moment. He immediately sat cross-legged at the entrance of the cave and looked at the sky across the waterfall.
Roar!
The Vermilion Bird phantom soared through the void. Every time it flapped its wings, it would trigger a spatial storm.
At this very moment.
Fang Chen couldn't help but use the Vermillion Bird Secret Technique.
Furthermore, what surprised him the most was that as soon as he executed the Vermilion Bird Secret Technique, everything that he had cultivated previously was instantly integrated into his body.
The first level of the Vermilion Bird Secret Technique, Burning Blood.
The second level of the Vermilion Bird Secret Technique, Burning Primordial Spirit.
…
One move after another was imprinted in Fang Chen's mind.
At this moment, Fang Chen dreamed of the ancient times and saw the divine beast, the Vermilion Bird, fighting in all directions and burning the world with scorching flames. It was a very spectacular scene. His heart was surging with excitement.
"This is?"
He looked at the ancient divine beast, the Vermilion Bird, in front of him. He wanted to touch it, but he realized that the Vermilion Bird's huge body was surrounded by flames. It passed through his body and walked into the endless darkness.
"I've lived my life to stop the chaos of the darkness."
Suddenly, the Vermilion Bird turned its head and stared at Fang Chen with its huge eyes. It said in a deep voice, "As long as the darkness is not extinguished, I will not die."
As soon as it finished speaking, the ancient divine beast, the Vermilion Bird, disappeared into the endless darkness.
In an instant, the world turned upside down and peace was restored.
However, Fang Chen's consciousness also returned to his body.
Dong dong dong!
The power in his body vibrated, and the perfect bloodline completely stripped the Vermilion Bird's bloodline.
This was because the Vermilion Bird's bloodline was abnormally powerful. If it continued to be refined, the perfect bloodline would not be able to withstand its power.
In the sky.
The Vermilion Bird's shadow was still spreading its wings and soaring.
After an unknown period of time, Fang Chen woke up from his coma. He felt sore all over. When he looked up, the Vermilion Bird's shadow had already disappeared.
"What did I see?"
He was sure that the Vermilion Bird's bloodline in his body had been stripped from the perfect bloodline and then condensed into a Vermilion Bird's shadow that spread its wings and soared in the sky.
Moreover, he also dreamed of the ancient times and saw the divine beast, the Vermilion Bird, conquering the world.
"Could it be that what I saw was real?"
Fang Chen recalled what the divine beast, the Vermilion Bird, said before entering the endless darkness.
As long as the darkness was not extinguished, it would exist forever.
He was quite shocked.
At the same time, he was also curious. Had the ancient divine beast, the Vermilion Bird, really died?
Or was it really like what he saw in his dream of the ancient times? Was the Vermilion Bird not dead, but suppressed the chaos of the darkness in a certain void?
Fang Chen thought of a lot of things.
He even felt that the Divine Beast, the Vermilion Bird, might have sacrificed itself in exchange for the golden age of the Chaotic Realm for a long time.
He realized the power of the Vermilion Bird's bloodline and the secrets contained in the Vermilion Bird Secret Technique.
"This is ridiculous."
He used to think that the Vermilion Bird Secret Technique that Huang Tian had was not the orthodox secret technique of the Vermilion Bird at all.
However, after the previous scene, he realized that the Vermilion Bird Secret Technique was not simple.
Buzz!
He immediately activated the Vermilion Bird Secret Technique and was soon dumbfounded.
Because …
The secret technique that he used was completely different from the one that he had cultivated before.
"What's going on?"
Fang Chen was shocked. What happened? Why did the Vermilion Bird Secret Technique change?
He thought carefully.
"Could it be the bloodline of the Vermilion Bird?"
That's right.
Fang Chen slapped his head. In his dream of the ancient times, the Vermilion Bird was bathed in flames and passed through his body. He didn't notice it at that time, but now that he thought about it, he could clearly feel that a flame from the Vermilion Bird's body was left in his body.
Could it be that the flame and the bloodline of the Vermilion Bird caused the Vermilion Bird Secret Technique to transform into the real Vermilion Bird Secret Technique?
Thinking of this.
Fang Chen sighed and was surprised at the same time.
No matter what, the ancient divine beast, the Vermilion Bird, was a top expert that had suppressed an era. If he could completely accept the real Vermilion Bird Secret Technique and the bloodline of the Vermilion Bird, his strength would definitely improve by leaps and bounds.
Or even.
He might even step into the legendary Supremacy Realm.
"The divine beast, the Vermilion Bird … the chaos of the darkness … the endless darkness."
Fang Chen muttered to himself as if he wanted to find some connection to this era from this.
