Yi Yun was going mad in his mind. He could not bear the impulse to rush forward with the Thousand Army Saber to slash at the seven-colored flower.
Of course, that was just a thought. He was aware that with his strength, he was helpless against the seven-colored flower.
At this moment, Yi Yun felt a shiver in his heart.
There was another unnatural movement in his energy vision!
And this movement was completely different from the previous ones. Something filled with murderous intent was charging straight towards him!
A desolate beast!
Without any hesitation, Yi Yun leaped up and raced away. At the same time, he used the Purple Crystal to seal his energy within his body and held his breath!
Yi Yun knew that any desolate beast that appeared in the burning hell was an existence he definitely could not deal with.
“Xiao!”
Yi Yun heard the shrill call of a bird. It was ear-piercing!
This bird call sounded familiar. Yi Yun felt his heart go cold. It was the fire bird that he saw near the exterior perimeter of the burning hell!
A fire bird that could easily devour a fire monkey with unfathomable strength could rip him apart easily with one swipe!
Yi Yun did not turn around. He opened up his energy vision to look at the situation behind him.
He saw a huge fire bird in the burning hell plummeting straight down with its wings outstretched. Its feathers were bright-colored as it dragged a rainbow flame behind it!
Its goal was the seven-colored flower growing in the basin!
“Peng!”
The fire bird’s large claws grabbed the thick flower stem and pecked at the seven-colored flower’s corolla with its sharp beak.
The corolla deformed but the seven-colored flower possessed amazing resilience. Its corolla did not break despite the fire bird’s tearing at it.
“Whew!”
With a clear sound, a seven-colored flame surged out from the flower’s core, heading straight towards the fire bird!
This was the pure Yang spirit’s retaliation!
Seeing the pure Yang spirit’s attack, the fire bird gave a sharp cry as it went on full guard. Its feathers began to stand up like arrows.
“Cha!”
Its sharp claws swiped through the air as the fire bird’s claw grabbed the pure Yang spirit!
But even the fire bird could not endure the burning pure Yang fire. Its claw was quickly burnt, as patches of bloody skin fell off, leaving it bloodied!
The original wound on its back opened up once against as blood spilled from it.
Yi Yun remembered that when he first saw the fire bird in the burning hell’s perimeter, he had seen a blood hole the size of a wash basin on its back. There were burn marks around the blood hole that revealed even its organs and bones.
The fire bird devoured the fire apes in order to heal its injuries.
Now, after seeing the fire bird try to capture the pure Yang spirit, Yi Yun understood that the large hole in the fire bird’s back was most likely left behind by the pure Yang spirit!
The fire bird entered deep into the burning hell and it must have discovered the pure Yang spirit early on. It had tried to swallow the pure Yang spirit but was injured by it. It could even have managed to swallow the pure Yang spirit, but it escaped from the fire bird’s body, leaving behind that shockingly large hole!
The fire bird came out of the burning hell to treat its wounds. Now, it had come back once again, precisely for the pure Yang spirit.
“I actually tried to grab food from this monster’s mouth…If it discovered my intentions, it would tear me to pieces regardless of anything.”
Yi Yun felt some fear. Thankfully, he had his energy vision. In the burning hell, the perception of all desolate beasts were weakened. With his energy vision, Yi Yun was able to discover the fire bird early on.
