However, this is also a legend, with many versions. Some say the Vermilion Bird perished...
For the beings of the Primordial Divine Mountains, they prefer to believe that the Vermilion Bird ascended to the Immortal Realm, becoming an eternal and incorruptible immortal.
There has long been a saying in the Three Thousand Dao Provinces, and it has been confirmed, that in the plane of the Three Thousand Dao Provinces, only one Vermilion Bird is allowed to exist.
Legend has it that after the Immortal Lord of that year launched the War of the Gods and unified the entire Three Thousand Dao Provinces, he also searched for the Vermilion Bird. In an ancient secret realm of unknown antiquity, he found a bamboo slip, which recorded that there was only one Vermilion Bird in existence, destined to become an immortal from birth.
It stated that the Azure Dragon, White Tiger, and Black Tortoise were also immortals in the upper realm. However, due to offending a powerful overlord, their entire clans were banished to lower planes, along with the Vermilion Bird clan.
But to return to the Immortal Realm, the Vermilion Bird clan pooled the essence and blood of their entire clan, creating a powerful Vermilion Bird, who then became the sole Vermilion Bird in the Three Thousand Dao Provinces.
Gazing at the Vermilion Bird with wings unfurled in the vast sky, the beings of the Primordial Divine Mountains were shocked but soon prostrated themselves in reverence.
This Vermilion Bird, whether mature or not, was the last shred of hope for their Primordial Divine Mountains.
Return to the peak of the Three Thousand!
Within a secret chamber of the imperial palace in Chang'an City of the Great Han Dynasty, golden blood continuously flowed from Yang Hao's pores, forming drops of golden blood within his veins, ceaselessly transforming Yang Hao's physique.
"Boom!"
Suddenly, countless rays of light extinguished, and the residual skeletons of the seven divine beasts were revealed. Golden threads extending from the divine fire continuously surrounded them, repairing the severely damaged and broken bones, and covering them with bronze divine light.
Soon, the residual skeletons were perfect and complete, and the divine souls of the seven divine beasts emerged from the divine fire.
"Crack!!"
At this moment, Yang Hao's bones within his body shattered, turning into golden powder and fusing with the golden blood. Dark golden bones began to regrow. Su Dan Novel Network
"Rrrrip~~"
As the bone remodeling was completed, Yang Hao's physical body liquefied, separating into ten streams that merged into the divine fires of the ten divine beasts. Soon, where Yang Hao had been sitting cross-legged, there was no longer Yang Hao, but only a dark golden skeleton, burning with ten divine fires. Flesh and blood tissues regenerated, blood flowed again, and everything was being reshaped.
"Roar!"
The celestial phenomena gradually weakened. As the seven divine beasts vanished, the three tribal chiefs of the Primordial Divine Mountains distinctly sensed a different feeling from the Vermilion Bird divine beast, as if the Vermilion Bird truly existed.
Though weak, the feeling was very real.
"Did you sense it, the connection from our bloodline?"
The Nine-Headed Phoenix tribal chief touched his heart.
"Yes!"
"I felt it!"
The tribal chief of the Fire Phoenix clan knelt on both knees, the flesh on his face twitching, his expression a mixture of fear and disbelief.
"The Vermilion Bird is alive!"
"It's a living Vermilion Bird!!"
"It's a living Vermilion Bird!!"
The Seven-Colored Divine Phoenix tribal chief leaped with joy like a child.
Not only in the Primordial Divine Mountains, but in Ling Province, Zhi Xin stood motionless in the void, as if his divine consciousness had been lost, his expression distraught.
"Master, is that real?"
"In this world, there is still a living Vermilion Bird?"
Xuan Zang appeared beside Zhi Xin, glancing at the sky that was gradually returning to normal. He chanted a Buddhist mantra, "You've sensed it, why go against your own heart!"
"Go!"
"Go to Chang'an, and you will see everything you wish to see!"
At this moment, the entire place was dyed red. Ten complete divine beasts surrounded Yang Hao. They were tiny, about the size of a fist, circling Yang Hao and continuously bestowing their divine power.
Yang Hao seemed to be reborn from the flames, everything being rebuilt from scratch. He felt as if he had experienced death and rebirth.
His realm also progressed from the first level of Quasi-Saint to the second, third, and fourth levels... The pace was not fast, lasting for about three hours before stopping at the eighth level of Quasi-Saint.
As his realm broke through, the consumed divine power was replenished doubly. Yang Hao decisively mobilized all his divine power, guiding the divine power of the ten divine beasts to cleanse his entire body. Flesh and blood continuously reformed, and hair regrew. The speed was incredibly fast, almost in the blink of an eye, his long hair reached his waist.
Soon, the intact Yang Hao reappeared. The difference was that Yang Hao's skin was now crystal clear, radiating an infinite emperor's aura!
"If not now!"
"When else!!"
Yang Hao opened his eyes and roared. The ten divine beasts also roared, and following Yang Hao's own realm, they quickly reached the peak Quasi-Saint realm.
"Boom!"
"Boom!"
"Boom!"
In Yang Hao's chest, rumbling sounds echoed like divine thunder rolling through the heavens.
The Great Emperor's Golden Body outside Yang Hao's body also emitted dazzling golden light. The ten divine beasts offered a drop of their essence blood. Simultaneously, the divine fires in the other two locations ignited, and the Xuanyuan Sword and Emperor Seal also blazed with dazzling brilliance.
A trace of imperial sword energy traversed Yang Hao's body. The nine dragons on the Emperor Seal awakened and coiled around the Great Emperor's Golden Body, their roars constant.
"Clang~~"
"Clang~~"
"Clang~~"
...
The nine cauldrons chimed, and boundless national destiny gathered towards Chang'an City, pouring into Yang Hao's body with overwhelming force.
The Great Emperor's Golden Body underwent a tremendous change. Its facial features gradually blurred, as if shrouded in chaotic energy, making its appearance indistinguishable. As the face blurred, the imperial aura multiplied a hundredfold.
The golden color of the Great Emperor's Golden Body gradually dimmed and stabilized, shifting from gold to dark gold.
On its brow, there was a blood mark containing nine streams of bronze energy!
At this moment, Yang Hao opened his eyes again, as if he could see the end of the long river. The divine fires ignited, and the imperial throne, which had appeared when the divine beast souls condensed, reappeared.
A dark golden figure, clad in a dragon robe, with a seal in his left hand and a sword in his right, sat majestically on the imperial throne, surrounded by nine golden five-clawed dragons.
Ten great divine beasts guarded him! Utterly majestic!
