Fire Demon God

Boom—

Before Lei Xiao's divine sense could draw near, fiery crows formed from flames flew out of the massive fireball, covering the sky in dense, endless swarms.

Though these fiery crows were not true living beings, each one radiated the aura of a Mystic Immortal. With tens of millions gathered together, their combined presence was enough to make any Taiyi Golden Immortal cultivator's scalp tingle.

"Watch out!"

Bi Xiao immediately held the Dragon-Phoenix Flute to her lips. A piercing flute note tore through the air, transforming into a ring of green soundwaves that spread outward.

Several thousand fiery crows at the forefront were struck by the soundwaves and exploded into showers of sparks, but more surged forward from behind, swiftly filling the gap.

In just over ten breaths, one-tenth of the fiery crows had died at Bi Xiao's hands.

"Third Sister, stop attacking," Lei Xiao said gravely.

"Why?"

Though confused, Bi Xiao still heeded Lei Xiao and stopped attacking.

"Third Sister, these fiery crows are deliberately throwing their lives away. The origins of the fiery crows you kill are gathering in one place," Lei Xiao explained.

After hearing this, Bi Xiao sensed carefully and found that it was indeed as Lei Xiao had said. The origins of the fiery crows she had killed were converging toward the depths of the fireball, where an extremely powerful aura was reviving.

However, while they had stopped, the remaining fiery crows had not. They continued charging at the two of them.

Attack after attack landed on the barrier surrounding them. The barrier shook violently, its red-gold light flickering as though it might shatter at any moment.

"Little Four, what should we do? If we let them keep attacking, this defensive barrier won't last long."

As she spoke, Bi Xiao was about to activate the Dragon-Phoenix Flute again.

"Third Sister, don't act yet. Let me try."

With a thought from Lei Xiao, the Flame Phoenix shot into the sky. Red-gold radiance bloomed amid the sea of fire like a newborn blazing sun.

Though that phoenix had been condensed from the origin of the Phoenix Divine Fire and was not a true ancient phoenix, the pressure of a sovereign of all flames it emitted was absolutely real.

The frenzied fiery crows froze in unison the instant they felt that pressure.

"Devour!"

Lei Xiao shouted softly.

The Flame Phoenix spread its wings and pounced fiercely upon the nearest flock of fiery crows. It opened its enormous beak, and a terrifying suction force surged forth. Tens of thousands of fiery crows were sucked into its mouth before they could even struggle.

As the master of the Flame Phoenix, Lei Xiao could clearly sense that the fiery crows devoured by it all died within three breaths. Their origins were immediately swallowed and refined by the Flame Phoenix.

During this process, the Flame Phoenix grew a little stronger as well.

"It works."

Lei Xiao's eyes lit up.

The Flame Phoenix devouring the fiery crows could not only resolve the encirclement before them, but also strengthen itself in the process. It was killing two birds with one stone. With another thought, the Flame Phoenix plunged into the flock of fiery crows like a tiger among sheep, opening its long beak and devouring them wildly.

With nearly every breath, tens of thousands of fiery crows were swallowed and refined by the Flame Phoenix.

"Little Four, this origin of your Phoenix Divine Fire is even more overbearing than an Innate Spirit Treasure!" Bi Xiao could not help exclaiming.

"It just happens to counter them."

Lei Xiao did not relax his guard because of this. He stared at the massive fireball opposite them, his divine sense locked onto the reviving aura.

After discovering that the Flame Phoenix could devour the origins of the fiery crows, that aura suddenly became violent.

Boom—

The fireball, like a miniature blazing sun, shook violently. The flames on its surface churned madly, transforming into crimson chains that coiled toward the Flame Phoenix.

"Third Sister."

"Understood."

Bi Xiao immediately grasped his meaning and raised the Dragon-Phoenix Flute to her lips once more.

This time, rather than using soundwaves to slaughter fiery crows over a wide area, she condensed her mana into threads, transforming it into invisible green wind blades that precisely slashed toward the crimson chains.

Clang! Clang! Clang!

Clear metallic clashes echoed continuously through the void.

Lei Xiao did not remain idle either. He controlled the Flame Phoenix to evade the crimson chains while devouring fiery crows even more frantically.

Before long, one-third of the fiery crows had already been eliminated.

As the number of fiery crows rapidly dwindled, the reviving aura clearly grew more and more agitated.

The crimson chains attacked with increasing frenzy. They no longer targeted only the Flame Phoenix, instead sweeping indiscriminately in every direction. Even the remaining fiery crows were not spared; once shredded by the chains, they became origin power and rushed faster toward the depths of the fireball.

"It's been driven into a corner."

Lei Xiao snorted coldly. The Flame Phoenix suddenly split into two, and the two Flame Phoenixes devoured fiery crows at a vastly increased speed.

These fiery crows were clearly nourishment for that thing's revival. The more the Flame Phoenixes devoured, the weaker that thing would be once it revived.

Moreover, as he devoured the fiery crows, Lei Xiao sensed that he had established a connection with the massive fireball.

It was a high-grade Innate Spirit Treasure—the Innate Fire Spirit Pearl.

"Damn ants, you dare ruin my grand plan of resurrection!"

Just as less than one percent of the fiery crows remained, an enraged roar rang out from the depths of the fireball. Immediately afterward, all the remaining fiery crows exploded in unison, turning into origin power that it devoured.

"Little Four, the other party's aura is rather strange. I can't see through its exact cultivation," Bi Xiao warned.

"Resurrection?"

Hearing those two words, Lei Xiao's heart tightened. In the Primordial World, there had never been any such thing as resurrection. Once one died, one was completely dead. Even beings as powerful as the Ancestral Dragon and the Primordial Phoenix were no exception.

"You're a Chaos Demon God?"

"Eh?"

"You actually guessed my identity. Correct, I am the Fire Demon God. Since you know of Chaos Demon Gods, you should also know their strength. I will give you a chance to become my servant." A vast voice resounded beside Lei Xiao and Bi Xiao's ears.

Chaos Demon Gods!

Bi Xiao's face turned pale upon hearing those four words.

The three thousand Great Dao laws had birthed three thousand Chaos Demon Gods, and every single one of them was an unimaginably powerful existence.

At this moment, only two words remained in Bi Xiao's mind—We're finished.

"Don't be afraid, Third Sister."

Sensing that something was wrong with Bi Xiao, Lei Xiao reached out and took her hand.

Her hand was icy cold and trembling faintly, but as she felt the warmth from Lei Xiao's palm, her panicked emotions gradually calmed somewhat.

"Little Four, that's a Chaos Demon God. We... we..."

Bi Xiao lowered her voice, as if afraid the other party might hear her.

"I don't believe it," Lei Xiao said calmly.

"Don't believe what?" The Fire Demon God did not understand for a moment.

"I don't believe you are the Fire Demon God."

Lei Xiao paused slightly before continuing, "Unless you answer a secret that only the Fire Demon God would know."

"Ask."

"How many axe strikes did Pangu use to chop you to death?"
