Chapter 1903 - 620: Netherworld Phoenix
"Netherworld Phoenix!"
Beyond a few Small Thousand Worlds, the Vermilion Bird Star Lord’s golden eyes gazed towards the Stone Palace direction, not only did her pupils slightly contract, even all the pores on her body opened up, spewing forth scarlet flames.
That was indeed the bloodline of their Phoenix Clan, no doubt about it!
The power was incredibly peculiar, precisely the combination of the Phoenix Clan’s ’Nirvana’ blood and ’Death’.
"Get lost! You bothersome pest."
The Vermilion Bird Star Lord’s incredibly magnificent and splendid bird form was swiftly darting through the dense chains released by Li Tan.
Her heart was exceedingly restless.
The daughter of Ubume had just awakened the Netherworld Phoenix bloodline and was simply no match for those few gods.
However, what was unsettling her was that the Vermilion Bird Star Lord couldn’t break free from these claw-like chains, nor could she contact her true form.
Li Tan had actually enclosed her body within a gigantic cover.
This was a powerful Divine Treasure, a void existed inside this cover, which could be large or small, constantly changing with her escape skill.
So despite her best efforts to utilize her escape skill, being able to traverse tens of thousands of miles in an instant, in reality, she hadn’t even crossed a yard’s distance.
Surrounded by an enormous black curtain, she couldn’t transmit any information to the outside.
She was enraged beyond measure: "Let me go over. Do you want her to die?"
She wasn’t just anxious about Si Huangquan’s safety but even more afraid that she might ultimately perish at the hands of the Ghost Star.
The Vermilion Bird Star Lord would never forgive herself for eternity.
Li Tan laughed heartily, he took a piece of beast meat from the void, munching on it while tipping a sip of wine into his mouth: "She won’t die, Star Lord, no need to struggle. These chains are the God-binding Chains, Divine Weapons secretly forged by Tai Hao in the past, mixed with impure air within, specifically targeting gods like you. This cover is also formidable, previously known as the ’Sun and Moon Qiankun Cover’.
It seems it was forged by them from the sun and moon’s membrane torn down from the sky when Chaos initially opened. Unless your true form is present today, you won’t be able to escape in front of me. Star Lord, you may as well calm down and wait and see. I’ve brought plenty of good wine and meat, would you like to drink a pot with me?"
Yet, a hint of helplessness flashed in his eyes.
At this time, several Emperors and Ancestor Gods had already appeared outside the Demon Realm Battlefront and a great battle was imminent.
If not for realizing that after close observation, the Vermilion Bird Star Lord might discover the bloodline power awakened by Si Huangquan.
Otherwise, who wanted to waste words with this woman at this season?
He had no choice but to come.
The Vermilion Bird Star Lord’s mood was frantic and violent to the extreme, but after a moment of effort, she still managed to suppress her frantic emotions, reverting to her human form, standing beside Li Tan.
Li Tan’s overall strength transcended her true form.
Therefore, let alone this avatar transformation, even her true form would find it challenging to retreat safely from his hands.
"You all treat her as bait!"
The Vermilion Bird Star Lord glared at Li Tan: "Spit it out, what do you want me to do? Li Tan, listen well, no matter what schemes you have, whatever you want to do, if there is any mishap with the daughter of Gou Xing, our Phoenix Clan will be at endless war with you. I will surely lead thirty million Phoenix Clansmen to flatten the Battle Domain!"
"Who are you trying to frighten? Isn’t it already endless war now?"
Li Tan smiled mockingly, disdainfully: "Her safety is not your concern, Star Lord! Before Ubume became the Nether Emperor, she wandered the heavens and earth for hundreds of thousands of years, and none of you birds cared. At this moment, why act like a big-tailed wolf in front of me!"
The Vermilion Bird Star Lord was momentarily choked: "I was always watching over Gou Xing. It was just that seventy thousand years ago, she suddenly disappeared."
Divine Hook Star — the name given by the old Ninth Generation Heavenly Emperor to his unborn niece.
"But ultimately you were just watching and didn’t really care, did you? Deep down, Star Lord didn’t consider her as your kin, just an evil spirit born from the corpse of the Heavenly Emperor’s daughter, perhaps even on guard.
So back then, Star Lord’s thought must have been if she’s dead, then so be it, not taking much care to find her whereabouts. Had you really cared, how could you not find any clues or detect her changes?"
Seeing the Vermilion Bird Star Lord instinctively want to refute, but when the words reached her mouth, she fell silent again, Li Tan sneered coldly once more: "Star Lord, you are overthinking, we don’t need you to do anything, next just watch. My clan’s pillar Heavenly Pride, naturally protected by my Human Clan."
What they were worried about was simply the Vermilion Bird as a variable.
"Protect?" The Vermilion Bird Star Lord couldn’t help but retort: "Rely on you, with three-five exhausted and injured Demon God fighters who can’t even protect themselves?"
"Perhaps, we might not succeed in protecting her, but we’ll try our best."
Li Tan tore off a large piece of beast meat with his mouth, casually chewing: "Star Lord, you’re so frantic, all for the propagation of your Phoenix Clan, wanting to reverse your decay fate. But you can only save her life, are you capable of allowing her to achieve the position of Lord of Death Country, Sovereign of the Ninth Netherworld?"
The Vermilion Bird Star Lord was rendered speechless.
She thought no matter what, the Nine Phoenixes would never permit this.
She wouldn’t allow the appearance of a second Phoenix Sovereign in this world.
Li Tan could tell from her expression, the irony in his eyes grew stronger: "If you can’t, then stay here obediently, Star Lord. If you mess up my clan’s major affairs, I will not hesitate to kill you before falling into madness!"’
