Pop! Reddish-white flames ignited beside Lu Sheng, circling him endlessly like lanterns.
The moment he left Vermilion Bird Palace, he headed straight for one of the Demon God cave abodes under his control.
This cave abode lay above ground, in a place called Guang Mountain. On the surface, Guang Mountain looked no different from any other range—green hills and clear waters, lush and thriving, birdsong and fragrant blossoms, Weird Beasts lurking in the shadows.
Yet that was merely an outward appearance. The Demon Race here appeared mild and peaceful, but the instant anyone came too close, they would erupt without warning, transforming into the most savage, hideous anomalous beasts and tearing apart every living thing that dared enter.
Among all the cave abodes of the Demon Gods under Lu Sheng's command, this was the most concealed and the best disguised.
The cave abode was deep within the mountain, surrounded by a solid protective grand array the Demon God had arranged over tens of thousands of years. Beyond it lay concealment illusion arrays and countless spell traps.
Lu Sheng crouched deep inside the cave. A faint golden-red Vermilion Bird phantom slowly emerged around his body as he remained in a form somewhere between his original body and his human transformation.
He was still restoring his Vermilion Bird Divine Fire. That blow from Ming He's ambush had taken him this long to gradually mend. A powerful flame like Vermilion Bird Divine Fire could not be swiftly converted from the outside world; it had to be slowly secreted by his original Demon body.
Once used, it was gone for good.
"Fortunately, it has finally recovered completely." Lu Sheng let out a long breath. Only in his most complete state could he perfectly embrace this full enhancement.
He roughly examined his current condition.
