The Marvelous Use of the Vermilion Bird Sky-Burning Thunder

Thunder and fire elements were the two most violent laws of power in the world. In theory, they should not have been able to merge together in perfect harmony.

Yet whether it was the Nine Dragon Thunder Fire of the Dou Qi Continent or the Vermilion Bird Sky-Burning Thunder of the Divine Firmament Continent, somehow, both had managed to perfectly fuse thunder and fire elements together, allowing them to display the might of both fire and thunder at the same time.

As the master of the Vermilion Bird Sky-Burning Thunder, Mo Yu was no stranger to it.

At the peak of its power, whenever the Vermilion Bird Sky-Burning Thunder surged, one could vaguely see a massive Vermilion Bird formed from crimson flames weaving through the thunder.

It was said that when the Vermilion Bird Sky-Burning Thunder first formed, it had actually devoured a divine beast—a fully grown Vermilion Bird—and evolved after several hundred or even thousand years of accumulation.

One had to know that the strength of any fully grown Vermilion Bird, when converted to the standards of the Dou Qi Continent, was at least equivalent to that of a Dou Zun.

Thus, after absorbing the intense flame power within the Vermilion Bird, it had formed a state in which Thunder Power and flame power coexisted.

The reason Mo Yu had chosen the Vermilion Bird Sky-Burning Thunder was also because he valued the powerful flame power it contained.

He knew that on the Dou Qi Continent, there was a profession that stood above Dou Zhe—Alchemist!

As the name implied, Alchemists could refine all kinds of miraculous pills that increased one's strength. Any Alchemist would be desperately courted by all sorts of factions at any cost, and their status and position were extremely illustrious.

The reason Alchemists received such treatment was naturally related to their rarity and practicality. The conditions for becoming an Alchemist were exceptionally harsh.

First, one had to possess the Fire Attribute. Second, a trace of Wood Qi had to be mixed into the fire body to serve as a catalyst for alchemy.

The Original Body of Mo Yu's body had originally possessed the Water Attribute, but for some unknown reason, after his soul was reborn, his constitution had gradually transformed toward the Lightning Attribute.

As a result, Mo Yu had originally lacked the qualifications to become an Alchemist.

But Mo Yu did not care in the slightest. To put it simply, there were only three most important requirements for refining pills: materials, a flame source, and Soul Perception.

As for materials, there was no need to say more. Naturally, they were all kinds of rare natural treasures.

Apart from the materials, which he could not obtain for the time being, he possessed the other two innate requirements.

That was why he had chosen the Vermilion Bird Sky-Burning Flame.

As a flame source, the Vermilion Bird Sky-Burning Thunder was no inferior to Heavenly Flames. It was far superior to the Dou Qi Flame catalyzed from Fire Attribute Dou Qi, and the Thunder Power it contained also had the effect of removing impurities.

It could be said that in terms of flame sources, Mo Yu had already surpassed ninety-nine percent of Alchemists.

As for Soul Perception, in his previous life, he had been a top powerhouse on the continent. Although his strength had dissipated after being reborn in this life, his Soul Perception was still far beyond that of ordinary people. Even Xiao Zhan, the current Xiao Family Patriarch and a Five-Star Great Dou Master, was inferior to him.

As for alchemy techniques, Mo Yu was not proficient in them. However, his previous life had still exposed him to many alchemy masters making pills. Having been influenced by them, he naturally surpassed some ordinary Alchemists.

Therefore, the Vermilion Bird Sky-Burning Thunder could serve not only as Mo Yu's attack method and trump card, but also allow him to become an outstanding Alchemist without having to worry about a lack of resources in the early stages.

Why were Alchemists so precious? Was it not because they controlled vast amounts of resources?

Whether cultivation resources or connections, the identity of an Alchemist was what Mo Yu valued.

Inside a quiet and tidy room, a Youth was Staring At an Innate Thunder Source the size of a palm, which resembled a silver snake.

With the appearance of this Innate Thunder Source, an imposing Vermilion Bird pressure Rush Towards him.

Looking at the Vermilion Bird Sky-Burning Thunder before him, filled with a violent and terrifying Aura, Mo Yu did not feel afraid. Instead, a sense of familiarity naturally arose within him.

After all, as the master of the Profound Thunder in his previous life, Mo Yu naturally held extraordinary feelings for these Profound Thunders.

After enduring the erosion of endless years in the boundless void, the Vermilion Bird Sky-Burning Flame no longer possessed the splendor and imposing bearing it had once displayed on the Divine Firmament Continent. Instead, it had transformed into a tiny Profound Thunder origin, as if it might be extinguished at any moment. Only by sensing it deeply could one realize the incomparably violent and terrifying power it contained.

Mo Yu, however, did not care. With him around, he would never allow these Profound Thunders to remain unknown on the Dou Qi Continent.

What Mo Yu needed to do next was awaken the Vermilion Bird Sky-Burning Thunder, then use this body to master it.

Awakening the Vermilion Bird Sky-Burning Thunder was simple. He only needed to inject Dou Qi into it.

However, Mo Yu currently possessed only the strength of four segments of Dou Qi. Dou Qi would only be produced after reaching the Dou Zhe level and condensing a Qi Vortex Inside Body. In other words, Mo Yu was currently incapable of even awakening the thunder source.

There were exceptions, though. As the former master of the Vermilion Bird Sky-Burning Thunder, it was not impossible for Mo Yu to inject Dou Qi.

Thinking of This, Mo Yu no longer hesitated. He circulated the Dou Qi Inside Body, controlled the faint Dou Qi with his mind, and slowly fed it into the Vermilion Bird Sky-Burning Thunder.

Before he realized it, a quarter of an hour had passed. Mo Yu, who possessed only four segments of Dou Qi, had already grown somewhat pale. Clearly, such a prolonged output of Dou Qi had placed a considerable burden on his current body.

"Damn it, my strength is still too weak. I can't hold on much longer."

Feeling the gradually depleted Dou Qi Inside Body and the unmoving Innate Thunder Source in his palm, Mo Yu could not help but frown.

With his current strength of four segments of Dou Qi, he clearly could not maintain such a prolonged output. He could only give up for now. If he continued and damaged his foundation, the loss would outweigh the gain.

Thinking of This, a trace of disappointment flashed through Mo Yu's eyes. However, just as he was about to stop injecting Dou Qi and reluctantly give up, a sudden change occurred.

The originally dim and lusterless Profound Thunder origin suddenly began to flicker with silver light. Like a nimble little snake, it sensed its master's presence and slowly began to revive.

Its Aura was still extremely weak, as if it might be extinguished at any moment, but it had truly regained its vitality!

Seeing this scene, a smile appeared at the Corner of the Mouth of pale-faced Mo Yu.

Success!

Next, he only needed to find a large amount of natural resources or energy suitable for the Vermilion Bird Sky-Burning Thunder to absorb and nourish it, and he could restore it to its peak state.

Before that, however, Mo Yu needed to use this body to completely master it.

Looking at the Profound Thunder origin before him, filled with the might of thunder and fire, Mo Yu narrowed his eyes. He then opened his mouth and swallowed it in one gulp.

As the Profound Thunder origin entered Mo Yu's body, a sensation like an electric shock spread throughout his Entire Body.

Mo Yu seemed to transform into thunder at that moment. Countless electric currents flowed through his meridians in every direction, and wherever they passed, they brought an unbearable feeling of numbness.

His arms tightly embraced his body as he gradually collapsed to the ground, curling up in agony while resisting and enduring the intense pain spreading through his body.

That inhuman torment lasted for a full ten minutes before it gradually faded.

As the final trace of numbness and pain dispersed from his body, Mo Yu's trembling body slowly calmed down. He drew several heavy breaths, then lay weakly on the ground.

As he lay on his back, waves of scorching heat and thunder power, like electric currents, suddenly seeped from inside his body. As soon as this heat and thunder power appeared, it rapidly merged into his bones. Vaguely, he sensed something entering the depths of his bones, bringing with it a faint tingling sensation.

"Fortunately, the Profound Thunder recognized my Aura in the end. Otherwise, let alone someone with four segments of Dou Qi—even an ordinary Dou Zhe would have exploded and died under the outpouring of this Thunder Power mixed with flame power." Mo Yu panted and said with some emotion, secretly warning himself against such recklessness.

Although his achievements in his previous life had been extraordinary, his current strength was still too weak. He had to put caution first in everything.

Still, this risk had not been without results. Mo Yu smiled, then immediately sensed his strength rapidly breaking through.

"Dou Qi, six segments!"
