The Strongest Dragon in the Era of Beast Taming

Chapter 924: Chapter 918: Purifying the Vermilion Bird

Mountains crumbled, trees turned to ash, space trembled, the sky ripped apart.

The entire New Desha State quaked madly under the envelopment of the azure light, even the screens in the cities of the Wyvern Empire lost their video signals at that moment, turning completely black.

After a long time, when the azure radiance dissipated and the world became clear again, only an enormous ravine remained on the ground, emitting a burnt odor.

“Is it dead?”

“It should be dead.”

“Are we saved?”

As the soldiers of the Divine Guard Army discussed among themselves, David Jones’ gaze turned toward the center of the deep ravine.

Wary of completely obliterating the Demonic Vermilion Bird with a single strike, he had specifically adjusted the power of the “dragon eye” skill.

Logically speaking, the Demonic Vermilion Bird should still retain some signs of life.

“Roar!”

Indeed, under David Jones’ watch, a majestic black flame suddenly burst forth from the previously fading black firelight, shooting straight into the sky.

When the black flame scattered, the Demonic Vermilion Bird emerged in front of David Jones, rejuvenated as if reborn from nirvana, assuming an even more formidable demeanor.

If it were someone else, they might have been intimidated by the terrifying aura emitted by the Demonic Vermilion Bird.

But not David Jones; in his eyes, the Demonic Vermilion Bird might appear imposing, but its origin was severely damaged, and it had little fight left.

“Heavenly Azure Dragon, let us change the battlefield,” David Jones glanced at the distant imperial city.

To avoid international disputes, he did not want the people of the Wyvern Empire to discover that the Demon God assaulting New Desha State was actually the Sacred Beast of the Flowery Kingdom, the Fire Separation Vermilion Bird.

Suspicions are just suspicions.

Without concrete evidence, the Wyvern Empire would not dare to provoke the more powerful Flowery Kingdom.

“Agreed.”

The Heavenly Azure Dragon nodded.

With a flash of brilliance in its dragon eyes, it whisked away David Jones and the Demonic Vermilion Bird from inside New Desha State.

At that moment, as the oppressive atmosphere that had suppressed everything in the city gradually vanished, the soldiers of the Divine Guard Army who had been kneeling and bowing to the Sacred Beast Azure Dragon slowly stood up.

Looking around at the wreckage, silent tears filled their eyes.

…

“Heavenly Azure Dragon, do you have a way to expel the mysterious power of Demon God from the Vermilion Bird’s body?” David Jones asked softly.

“I regret that I cannot,” replied the Azure Dragon.

Gazing at the pitch-black Vermilion Bird Egg in front of it, the Azure Dragon shook its head.

It was an Immortal, not an Eternal True God.

Even in the presence of an Eternal True God, it would be very difficult to restore an Immortal whose origin had been attacked by the mysterious power of a Demon God.

“I don’t know what kind of reward the Vermilion Bird promised you, but if something is impossible, it is impossible. You’d better not hold out too much hope,” the Azure Dragon said, gazing at the Vermilion Bird Egg, a hint of anger rising in its heart.

Damn Fire Separation Vermilion Bird!

Damn Demon Soul Dominator!

Its plan for deity had been shattered before it even began.

Back in the day, to ensure a successful apotheosis, it had gone to great lengths, spending a vast amount of destiny power to transform the Vermilion Bird, White Tiger, and Black Tortoise into Sacred Beasts of destiny.

Now, millennia of planning had gone up in smoke overnight.

“Not even a slight chance?” David Jones asked, frowning.

“If I were to completely eradicate the Mystery Power within the Vermilion Bird, its origin would also vanish,” the Azure Dragon said through clenched teeth.

“Even if it could undergo nirvana through the power of destiny once again, what would be born would be a brand-new Vermilion Bird.”

The reason the Sacred Beast Azure Dragon was at a loss was that a newly born Vermilion Bird would need thousands of years to climb back to the Level IX Immortal Realm.

That is to say, He still needs to wait for thousands of years to devour the other three Sacred Beasts and attempt to prove the way to the Eternal True God Level.

Of course, if the Flowery Kingdom could unify all Human nations and converge all Human faith into one, it would only take a few hundred years, or even mere decades, for Him to attempt a breakthrough.

“I understand what you’re saying, but I still want to try,” David Jones said.

David Jones pulled out the Red Phoenix Heart and the Demon Soul Wisp that the Evilheart Master had given him from the Star Ring.

“You may try if you wish; I can assure you that you won’t be affected by the mysterious power of demon gods,” the Azure Dragon assured.

Seeing the confidence in David Jones’s eyes, the Azure Dragon couldn’t help but reveal a touch of curiosity.

To be frank, His dragon eye could see through most existences in this world, yet, paradoxically, He couldn’t make clear the foundation of David Jones or that inexplicably familiar Dragon Affinity.

If David Jones made a move, there might truly be hope to drive out the Demon God’s power from the Vermilion Bird’s body.

“Daphne, Destiny Revolution!”

As soon as David Jones’s voice fell, Daphne immediately shone with Coordination Light and merged into his forehead.

“Crackle!”

Numerous silver lightning bolts exploded with a bang, and a mysterious Destiny inscription suddenly appeared on David Jones’s forehead, his originally black hair also starting to show a hint of silver radiance.

As the silver aura burst recklessly, David Jones’s hair, gleaming with silver lightning, grew to his waist and his eyes turned wild and domineering.

“Destiny Flame!”

David Jones stretched out his right hand towards the Vermilion Bird Egg as the long-accumulated Destiny Flame erupted violently.

Boom!

Sensing the threat of the Destiny Flame, the Vermilion Bird Egg radiated a black ghostly flame all over, and even its shell revealed an eerie single eye composed of countless wailing souls.

“Just the Destiny Flame alone is clearly not enough!”

Observing this, David Jones’s eyes sharpened, deciding to use Daphne’s transformed Eye of Destiny skill.

The next instant, a flood of information about the Vermilion Bird Egg surged into David Jones’s mind.

[Innately Sacred (Gold)]: As one of the Sacred Beasts of the Flowery Kingdom, the Fire Separation Vermilion Bird has an exceptionally high status and is born with a Class IX Immortal Level.

[Vermilion Bird Nirvana (Gold)]: If it suffers a fatal injury, the Fire Separation Vermilion Bird can use the power of the nation’s destiny to wash away its past life and live again.

…

[Recent Destiny]: Extreme danger and extreme fortune, seeking life within death

[Future Achievement]: If assisted by Destiny, there is a chance to step into the True God realm, but there is also the possibility of being forever stuck at the Class IX Immortal level.

After reading the fate of the Vermilion Bird Egg, David Jones hesitated momentarily then decided to release the Destinied Sacred Flame, supported by the Arcane Force of many favorites, capable of altering destiny.

“Sizzle!”

As the Sacred Flame burned fiercely, the feeble aura within the Vermilion Bird Egg, like a flickering candle in the wind, began to become imperceptible, as if it might extinguish at any second.

But David Jones had no intention of stopping the release of the Destiny Flame. He quietly watched as one shocking crack after another appeared on the surface of the Vermilion Bird Egg.

“It’s about to die!” The Azure Dragon flashed a look of alarm and softly cautioned.

“It won’t die.”

At the moment David Jones ignited the Demon Soul Wisp, wisps of exceptionally dark demon god’s mysterious power quietly emerged from the cracks in the eggshell.

Not until the ancient incense was completely burnt out did David Jones press the Red Phoenix Heart onto the surface of the eggshell.

He had the experience of purifying the Bodhi Tree.

He knew that to purify the demon god’s mysterious power, one must use a force of the same essence to counteract it.

In the case where the Vermilion Bird Origin had been invaded, the Sacred Azure Dragon could only manage to completely obliterate the Mystery Power, whereas the power of Destiny could integrate the demon god’s mysterious power.

Having done all this, David Jones stepped back with a pale face and then dropped the Coordination stance, his eyes fixed on the lifeless Vermilion Bird Egg.

He had already helped the Fire Separation Vermilion Bird get through the most dangerous phase of the demon god’s mysterious power integration with the help of the Destiny Flame.

What comes next, whether the Vermilion Bird becomes a god or a demon, is entirely up to Its own will.
