Reborn Divine Doctor: The Abandoned Girl's Legend

Chapter 820: Chapter 687: Dying Entrustment

Chen Hongru, renowned for many years, has seen everything from Spiritual Artifacts to all kinds of Poison Smoke and Poison Fog.

Among them, there are not a few that reached Heaven Rank; he originally thought that the Poison Smoke and Poison Fog on the Golden Chalice Nirvana Platform were mere trinkets, nothing for Chen Hongru to even consider.

His Solid Rank Cauldron, which had followed him for hundreds of years, was not only impervious to blades and spears but had long been refined to resist all poisons.

The mere Poison Smoke was nothing to fear.

However, it was only when the Black Cauldron Breath entered his body that Chen Hongru realized he had made a grave mistake.

Because of the blood connection with the Solid Rank Cauldron, when the Cauldron Breath penetrated the Vermilion Snow Cauldron, Chen Hongru felt a chilling sensation in his body, surging up against his blood flow.

”What... what in the world is this damn thing?” Chen Hongru muttered.

This was just the beginning.

Chen Hongru’s complexion changed again, with copious sweat falling from his forehead like a small waterfall; the Black Cauldron Breath within the Vermilion Snow Cauldron misbehaving wildly.

He felt as if his blood had frozen, and within his internal organs, it seemed as if an invisible hand was stirring.

Chen Hongru felt his body was about to explode.

No, he could not lose to Ye Wuming’s descendant.

He could not afford to lose twice to the same person, especially when she was not even a Fang Venerate but merely an Alchemist.

Refining—this black aura must be refined, no matter what, he had to refine that wisp of black aura.

A fanatic thought flashed like a streak of lightning.

At this moment, Chen Hongru had only one thought: He had to refine the Black Cauldron Breath.

Chen Hongru concentrated his Divine Soul, pouring all his spiritual power into the Vermilion Snow Cauldron.

Inside the Vermilion Snow Cauldron, it was like experiencing a fierce battle; the cauldron’s body shimmered, the brown-yellow Earth Spirit, the black Cauldron Breath, and Chen Hongru’s spiritual power, these three mixed together, fighting fiercely, a fight to the death.

An hour passed, no matter how hard Chen Hongru tried, that stubborn black aura still roamed freely inside the Vermilion Snow Cauldron, gradually destroying the cauldron’s structure, and what’s terrifying is that this wisp of black aura, seemingly weak, had astonishing endurance.

It was slowly consuming his spiritual power.

Chen Hongru, like an old dog, knelt on the ground, hunching his back and gasping heavily.

”Ye Lingyue, what kind of sorcery is this?”

His Vermilion Snow Cauldron, unable to refine that patch of black Cauldron Breath.

In the sky, the Vermilion Snow Cauldron started to tremble violently, the body of the cauldron convulsing, as if something was forcefully trying to burst out.

Chen Hongru’s complexion turned exceedingly ghastly.

He hurriedly tried to retrieve his Solid Rank Cauldron, but it was already too late.

Boom—

A muffled sound; the Vermilion Snow Cauldron finally could no longer withstand the repeated impacts of the Black Cauldron Breath, and it exploded in the sky.

Chen Hongru felt a dull thud in his brain, emitting a wild roar like a trapped beast; his body, which was originally hovering in mid-air, fell like a kite struck by lightning on a stormy night, plunging down, with the rolling sand river behind him.

The Solid Rank was destroyed, and Chen Hongru, grievously injured, was quickly submerged by the rolling sands of the river, vanishing without a trace.

He had spent hundreds of years consolidating it into the Solid Rank, now destroyed.

The Vermilion Snow Cauldron fractured, and the Three-legged Birdman Queen inside was sucked into the cauldron and fell out.

Ye Lingyue’s Divine Sense stirred slightly, and the Golden Chalice Nirvana Platform rotated underneath the Three-legged Birdman Queen, holding her steady, placing her in front of Ye Lingyue.

”Queen? Are you alright? Don’t speak yet, let me gather your soul using the Golden Chalice Nirvana Platform first.” Ye Lingyue checked on the Queen, knowing that her physical body could not be saved, but she could preserve the soul.

Before Ye Lingyue could examine her, the Three-legged Birdman Queen grasped her hand.

”There’s no use in trying, I know you have extraordinary methods, but my soul has already burnt out. Chen Hongru pushed me to death, his cauldron can refine not only the physical body but also souls, and my soul is no longer complete.” The Queen coughed a few times, her Divine Sense gradually dissipating.

Ye Lingyue saw her pupils dilating and looked at her soul, which indeed resembled a lamp about to be extinguished.

With an incomplete soul, even using the Golden Chalice Nirvana Platform, she could only end up like Xue Pianran, foolish for a lifetime.

Such a proud character as the Three-legged Birdman Queen, how could she allow herself to live without dignity.

She would rather die with dignity.

But before dying, she still had a very important task to complete.

Thus, even when enduring pain like a million ants gnawing at her heart within the Vermilion Snow Cauldron, the Three-legged Birdman Queen’s soul did not collapse.

She gathered her last breath, and grabbed onto Ye Lingyue’s hand with all her strength, exhausting her last bit of energy.

”Ye Lingyue, I honor our agreement, I bestow upon you the Earth Spirit, but in your lifetime, you must protect the Three-legged Birdman Tribe for me, I beg you!”

Ye Lingyue was shocked; she only wanted the Earth Spirit but hadn’t agreed to take care of the Three-legged Birdman Tribe.

Though she was the Female Lord of the Ten Thousand Beasts Territory, her territory only inhabited Spiritual Beasts and humans, and the Three-legged Birdman, being a Fierce Beast, even if only a few thousand, were not suitable to coexist with Human Clan, otherwise, the Sifang City Lord wouldn’t have confined these fierce beasts within the Rift Valley Sand River.

Seeing Ye Lingyue hesitating, the Three-legged Birdman Queen, without further ado, pinched a demon formula and touched Ye Lingyue’s forehead.

As its finger touched the smooth and delicate forehead of Ye Lingyue, she felt a thick and warm breath instantly surge into her body.

It was an indescribable sensation, like experiencing a hot bath, with limbs and bones reviving quickly.

That was the power of the Five Elements Spirit, the Earth Spirit.

But as the Earth Spirit entered her body, the body of the Three-legged Birdman Queen became more and more ethereal.

A brown-yellow Demon Core floated out from its body, entering Ye Lingyue’s body along with the Earth Spirit.

When Ye Lingyue wanted to stop it, it was already too late.

”Ye Lingyue, I gift both the Earth Spirit and my Demon Core to you. From now on, the fortune of the Three-legged Birdman Tribe is entrusted to you.”

The body of the Three-legged Birdman Queen formed into a human-shaped phantom, and before dying, it finally fulfilled its wish, transforming into a true human.

Its face bore a touching smile, nodding towards Ye Lingyue.

As the last trace of the Demon Core’s power entered Ye Lingyue’s body, the body of the Three-legged Birdman Queen transformed into countless specks of light, flying in the sky like fireflies.

It looked towards the direction where Chen Hongru fell, the corners of its mouth outlining a beautiful smile.

”Chen Hongru, so be it, at least on Huangquan Road, I have your company.”
