The Strongest Dragon in the Era of Beast Taming

Chapter 905: Chapter 899: The Demon God Reappears

Mountain Sparrow cultivation room.

David Jones surveyed the surroundings that resembled elves dancing in flames, his gaze eventually settling on the enormous altar at the center of the cultivation room.

“Fire Separation Altar (Sealed)”: A special altar passed down from the Middle Ages, outwardly unremarkable, but inside inscribed with the Eight Trigrams Fire Circle, and outside with the Power of the Four Symbols Sun—it’s the initial sacred artifact that fostered the birth of the South of Heaven.

Note: Opening the Fire Separation Altar requires special Mystic Arts, otherwise this dormant sacred artifact will lose its effect in promoting the evolution of Beasts.

“Are we sure this is the place?” David Jones inquired with his thoughts.

“Meow.” (“It should be pretty close.”)

Daphne nodded earnestly.

Although the geothermal veins of an ordinary volcano could accelerate the hatching efficiency of the Dragon Egg of Doom, how could it be compared with an Immortal artifact?

“Interesting, what exactly is Phoenix College playing at? Are they ‘ignorant under the light,’ unable to detect the anomalies of this altar, simply using it as a cultivation accelerator?”

After musing for a moment, David Jones decided to try it out himself.

He strode up to the altar, then sat down cross-legged with eyes closed, meditating on the Taikoo Black Dragon Chart.

After a long while, David Jones opened his eyes and remarked, “Aside from accelerating arcane star cultivation speed, this altar indeed has no other use.”

If it weren’t for his Golden Eye Intuition that saw through everything, combined with Daphne’s astonishing intuition, he too might have overlooked this seemingly ordinary altar that was actually hiding many secrets.

“Daphne, do you have a way to open it?”

After several unsuccessful attempts to open the altar, David Jones instinctively turned his head to look at Daphne.

“Meow.” (“I can give it a try.”)

Guided by her intuition, Daphne took a step forward and her right palm, ignited with Destiny Flame, pressed against the surface of the altar.

“Hum.”

Under the radiance of the Destiny Flame, the altar emitted a faint crimson glow, but unfortunately, the light lasted for merely three seconds before disappearing.

“Meow.” (“It seems it won’t work.”)

Daphne scratched her head and stepped aside for Rainbow.

“Yip.” (“Let me do it.”)

Rainbow glanced at the Fire Separation Altar, then condensed the Power of Annihilation in its right claw, aiming at the fiery bird mark at the core of the altar.

“Who are you?”

Before Rainbow’s claw struck, the flames that overflowed from the surface of the altar instantly coalesced into a miniature fiery divine bird.

“Pet Name”: Fire Separation Vermilion Bird (Consciousness Avatar)

“Pet Type”: Fire

“Species Level”: Immortal Half-God

“Grade”: Class VIII Apex

“Pet Profile”: One of the Four Sacred Beasts of the Flowery Kingdom, the Fire Separation Vermilion Bird signifies the great sun and also presides over the seven lodgings of the South of Heaven. It is currently being tainted by some special entity.

Seeing this, all Pets turned their attention to David Jones, with Daphne having the most exaggerated reaction because its Comply With Heaven’s Will skill also responded at the same moment.

“Let’s not hurry into action,”

Signalling to Rainbow and the others to stay calm, David Jones looked at the divine bird that had mysteriously appeared above the altar.

Logically, the Sacred Beast Vermilion Bird should be in a dormant state at present. Coupled with the word “tainted” from the data and Daphne’s warning, David Jones felt something was amiss.

“May I inquire if you are the Fire Separation Vermilion Bird senior?” David Jones tentatively asked.

The Vermilion Bird avatar first glared fiercely at Rainbow, then looked at David Jones quite astonished.

“Indeed. You have the aura of the Azure Dragon on you. Could it be that you are this generation’s Azure Dragon Envoy?”

David Jones nodded.

“Well then, I won’t take offense at your previous actions for the sake of the Azure Dragon. Now, leave,” the Vermilion Bird avatar said with a softened expression.

“Could we possibly not leave?” David Jones negotiated.

“No,” the Vermilion Bird avatar’s expression turned cold.

“Then, I beg your pardon, senior,” David Jones stepped back, letting Rainbow and the others stand at the front, ready for battle at any moment.

“Courting death.”

Hearing this, the Vermilion Bird avatar flew into a rage.

All it saw was its crimson claws slashing through the air, as a pitch-black flame blade instantly shot towards David Jones’s head, shuttling through space.

“There really is a problem!” David Jones’s pupils contracted sharply.

The Vermilion Bird avatar did not reveal anything until it attacked, but with that single move, David Jones could clearly sense traces of a mystery power that was difficult to detect.

One must know that the Fire Separation Vermilion Bird is one of the Four Sacred Beasts of the Flowery Kingdom, and is one of the main forces suppressing the Semi-Fiends in the country.

The result was that the Immortal Power within its body has surprisingly been contaminated with Mystery Power, the implications of which were self-evident.

“Try to capture it alive if possible!” David Jones said with a deeply furrowed brow.

Fortunately, the Vermilion Bird avatar in front of him was not the true body and only exhibited the strength of a Class VIII apex; otherwise, David Jones would not dare to provoke it at first sight.

“Roar!”

Looking at the rapidly approaching flame blade, the Gluttonous Beast opened its large mouth and, to the astonishment of the Vermilion Bird avatar, bit down in one gulp.

“Crunch, crunch!”

The Gluttonous Beast chewed contentedly.

The mystery power that ordinary beasts would avoid at all costs was nothing but ordinary energy in the face of Infinite Integration.

“Yi!” (Grasp of Annihilation!)

The claws of the Rainbow Spirit Dragon contracted slightly, and the devastating patterns within its body surfaced, locking onto the Vermilion Bird avatar with the overwhelming Power of Annihilation in an instant.

In the face of the pure Power of Annihilation, even a Sacred Beast avatar could not escape the reordering of the natural order.

At this moment, the Vermilion Bird avatar lost its sensitivity to Arcane Force.

“How dare you offend a Sacred Beast!”

Sensing the impending crisis, the Vermilion Bird’s eyes turned blood-red, and it flapped its wings, attempting to flee and avoid exposure.

“Baa!” (Time Stars Fall!)

Loona, controlling the Star Time Core, stood in front of the Vermilion Bird avatar and released a vast tidal wave of space-time, bringing time to a standstill.

Seizing the opportunity, Lolo used the Immortal magic Reversal of Heaven and Earth to draw the Vermilion Bird avatar into a turnip in one breath.

Under the successive assaults of the four Rainbow pets, the Class VIII apex strength of the Vermilion Bird avatar was mercilessly suppressed without a chance to fight back.

“Tweet.”

Lolo shook the turnip in his hand and passed it to David Jones.

“Now we’re in real trouble.”

A bitter smile appeared on David Jones’s face.

If it were just the contamination of the Vermilion Bird’s avatar, that would be one thing, but if the true body were also affected, it would be a matter capable of shaking the foundations of the nation.

With this thought, David Jones glanced at the Fire Separation Altar and made a resolute decision to end his retreat.

…

Phoenix College, a luxurious meeting room.

Phoenix Harrison was presiding over a high-level meeting.

“Buzz!” The cellphone screen suddenly lit up.

“Is there a problem?”

Phoenix Harrison frowned slightly, quickly sensing the severity of the issue.

With David Jones’s current strength, it would take at least a month of sealed cultivation to swallow and refine the Heart Patterned Gold Elixir.

If something made David Jones contain his breakthrough and end his retreat ahead of schedule, it must be a significant matter!

Thinking this, Phoenix Harrison picked up the phone, signaling for the meeting to pause temporarily; he had an important call to answer.

“What! Are you sure?”

Despite Phoenix Harrison’s deep composure, he found it hard to believe the news he just heard.

After a long pause, he hung up the phone in silence.

“President Harrison, has there been an unexpected situation?” Remilia Wanton, seated to the right of the round table, asked curiously.

“This is bad news.”

As soon as Phoenix Harrison spoke, everyone was shocked.
