Catastrophic necromancer

Chapter 2244: Vermilion Bird’s Nirvana, Origin Divine Beast

The warning of danger still echoed in his soul; touching the Vermilion Bird egg was equally dangerous, but it was slightly better than directly touching the Vermilion Bird.

The flames of the Vermilion Bird grew even more intense, giving Lin Moyu the illusion that he could be burned to ashes at any moment.

Lin Moyu steeled his heart, gathering the laws of time and space together. The power of time and space flowed, temporarily allowing him to enter a different time and space.

In a different time and space, he should theoretically be immune to all harm, as the two were in different dimensions and shouldn’t be able to interact.

However, reality proved otherwise. The Vermilion Bird’s flames contained a trace of origin power, which could traverse time and space, continuing to burn his flesh and soul.

“The Vermilion Bird’s origin power can penetrate time and space, so it can naturally attack the origin crystal of the Black Blood Great World.”

“Tianlong was right; the Vermilion Bird indeed has the ability to deal with the origin crystal. Now, I just need to awaken it.”

Lin Moyu was both surprised and delighted. With determination, he endured the flames and touched the Vermilion Bird egg.

The intense damage was shared by the 3 billion undead army. The Legion Rulers went mad with healing, and the undead army was busy with spells.

Finally, Lin Moyu touched the Vermilion Bird egg.

At that moment, a vast life force transmitted from the egg.

The flames on the Vermilion Bird’s body erupted, surging into terrifying flames far surpassing a stellar explosion.

The terrifying power swept through the starry sky, and Lin Moyu was uncontrollably blown away.

Time and space were pierced by the flames. Lin Moyu was engulfed in fire, his Undying Golden Body burning, intertwining with the Vermilion Bird’s flames, making it impossible to distinguish between them.

Lin Moyu felt the terrifying power of rules. The rule power within the flames shattered his Undying Golden Body, causing intense pain throughout his body, which was rapidly disintegrating.

His soul was also affected, with large holes burned into his soul world, allowing the flames to invade and attack his soul directly.

The World Tree wanted to intervene, but Lin Moyu stopped it.

His soul was covered by a layer of yellow light, provided by the Soul Gem within the Staff of Calamity. It was the last line of defense for his soul. The yellow light blocked the Vermilion Bird’s flames, making his soul feel hot but not harmed.

However, the yellow light was also weakening and wouldn’t last long.

Lin Moyu remained incredibly calm, not panicking at all. He took a step back, distancing himself by over 30 billion kilometers.

Then, with two more steps, he was 100 billion kilometers away from the Vermilion Bird.

His aura then exploded, pushing the Gather Power spell to its limit, attempting to break through to the Supreme realm.

The Gather Power spell exceeded its limit, causing his body to explode on the spot, along with his soul.

As his body and soul shattered, the Vermilion Bird’s flames lost their target and extinguished.

Half a second later, purple light flashed, and Lin Moyu was reborn.

His flesh and soul were recreated out of thin air, everything returning to normal.

“Huh, the River of Time…”

Just after his rebirth, Lin Moyu was momentarily stunned. During his rebirth, his power of time and space hadn’t disappeared.

In that instant, he seemed to see the shadow of the River of Time, as if his rebirth was connected to it.

However, the moment was too brief for Lin Moyu to determine if it was an illusion.

It had been a long time since he activated his rebirth talent, and he hadn’t experienced death in a long time. Lin Moyu felt a bit nostalgic.

He remembered the times in the small world when Antares killed him repeatedly, all for the sake of refining his spells.

His gaze fell on the Vermilion Bird 100 billion kilometers away. The Vermilion Bird was now engulfed in flames, releasing intense heat. The heat in the space was hundreds or thousands of times stronger than before, waking countless cosmic beasts, which fled in panic, unable to stay in their original positions.

Within the Vermilion Bird’s scorching flames, Lin Moyu sensed a touch of vitality. The previously dormant flames began to show signs of life.

Activating his Soul Eye, Lin Moyu saw more clearly.

The Vermilion Bird’s body was melting, flowing into the Vermilion Bird egg like flames.

Thump!

Thump!

Heartbeats echoed from the Vermilion Bird egg, growing stronger and more powerful.

The flames became more intense and dangerous.

Through his Soul Eye, Lin Moyu saw a force entwined within the Vermilion Bird egg, also spreading through the flames.

This force wasn’t abundant but was extremely powerful.

It was this force that allowed the flames to penetrate time and space and nearly burn him to death.

“World origin!”

Lin Moyu murmured to himself. Tianlong had mentioned that the Vermilion Bird was an origin divine beast nurtured by the great world, inherently containing the world’s origin.

This divine beast was not a cosmic giant beast but far stronger.

It could be considered the great world’s favored child, naturally powerful.

The heartbeat grew stronger, and minutes later, a crack appeared on the eggshell, quickly spreading across the entire egg.

With a crisp sound, the egg shattered, and a small bird flew out, letting out a loud cry.

The cry pierced the soul like a sharp sword, shaking Lin Moyu’s soul world.

If it affected him this much, it was even worse for the cosmic beasts.

Nearby cosmic beasts fled in terror, running as far as they could.

While the origin aura was beneficial, it wasn’t worth risking their lives for. Survival was the first instinct of all living beings, including cosmic beasts.

Only Lin Moyu stayed, quietly watching the Vermilion Bird’s nirvana.

The newly hatched Vermilion Bird quickly grew, reaching over a million kilometers in size, resembling a massive star in the starry sky, majestic and imposing.

The flames receded, and the heat in the starry sky rapidly diminished until it disappeared.

The reborn Vermilion Bird retracted all its power, its sharp gaze falling on Lin Moyu. With a flap of its wings, its massive body crossed 100 billion kilometers in an instant, appearing before Lin Moyu.

A majestic and terrifying voice echoed, “Why did you disturb me?”

Its gaze was dangerous. If Lin Moyu weren’t human, he would have been burned to death by now.

Lin Moyu could sense the Vermilion Bird’s realm, a true Supreme, stronger than most Supremes, capable of easily killing him.

Lin Moyu looked at the Vermilion Bird without fear, “The great world is in danger and needs you.”

The Vermilion Bird was nurtured by the great world, its primary task being to protect it.

During the ancient great war, the four origin divine beasts fought for the great world until the end.

They were the great world’s favored children, perhaps its last line of defense.

The Heavenly Sovereigns had their own plans. If things got too dire, they might leave the great world and not necessarily fight to the end.

Hearing that the great world was in danger, the Vermilion Bird’s gaze became extremely dangerous, “Explain clearly!”

Lin Moyu recounted the Black Blood Great World’s plan to trigger the Black Blood Calamity. Upon hearing about the Black Blood Great World, the Vermilion Bird’s eyes turned fiercely murderous.

“Take me there!” The Vermilion Bird’s voice was filled with danger, sending chills down one’s spine.

Lin Moyu spread his Wings of the Dead, the laws of space vibrating as he opened a space gate.

The space gate wasn’t large enough for the Vermilion Bird to pass through.

With a cold snort, the Vermilion Bird’s body rapidly shrank from a million kilometers to just ten meters.

With a flap of its wings and a cry, the Vermilion Bird rushed into the space gate.
