As though answering Su Shi'er's question, and as though showing off.
The fire bird raised its neck high and suddenly opened its beak.
In an instant, the scorching heat waves stirred up by the Southern Bright Leaving Fire burning around the Fire Bird Artifact Spirit surged to an even greater peak.
A ball of fire burst from the fire bird's open beak.
Within the flames was an exquisite, hollow fireball pearl no larger than a grain of rice.
The pearl swelled in the wind, becoming the size of a fist in the blink of an eye.
Within its hollow design, seemingly endless fire-element power flowed without cease.
As it slowly rotated, the treasure that had originally belonged to the Six-Headed Fire Flood Dragon was now clearly under the complete control of the Fire Bird Artifact Spirit.
With a flap of its wings, the fire bird effortlessly controlled the fireball, sending it tumbling and spinning up, down, left, and right as easily as moving an arm or finger.
The moment the hollow fireball appeared, the power of the flames around the Fire Bird Artifact Spirit doubled.
Though the scorching currents were not aimed directly at Su Shi'er,
they still made the pressure on him multiply. His first reaction was to retreat swiftly.
After all, his current cultivation was only at the mid Spirit Severing stage.
If he were struck by such blazing currents, he certainly would not fare well.
But just as he was about to retreat, Su Shi'er's thoughts shifted again.
At once, an invisible and mysterious force within the small world space transformed.
Without warning, an invisible spatial barrier formed around Su Shi'er from condensed spatial power.
The rolling heat waves seemed to occupy a different space from Su Shi'er altogether and could not affect him in the slightest.
