"But wait, something's not right,"
"Even if I've been reborn, I'm still a dignified Mahayana Demon Venerable."
"How could such a realistic hallucination occur?"
"Yes!"
Looking at the ripples in the surrounding space, his aura was completely different.
Crimson Crow was stunned, then felt as if struck by lightning.
The turbid Divine Soul light suddenly exploded.
Human Immortal Tribulation!
There's no such thing as time flowing backward, no such thing as being reborn!
Damn it, it's clearly undergoing the Human Immortal Tribulation!
The most fatal thing is...
What did it shout in the illusion just now?
Thirty years east of the river, thirty years west of the river?
Are they going to capture someone surnamed Lu and treat him like a pet?
Do you catch insects to feed it every day?
"It's over, it's all over..."
The Crimson Crow's feathers stood on end instantly.
A chill ran straight up my head from my tail feathers.
It knew that before it went into seclusion, Lu Li had taken it into a mysterious space.
Lu Li witnessed the entire process of his madness during the Human Immortal Tribulation.
The edge of the illusion is collapsing rapidly.
Ripples spread across the void like waves on water.
It was on the verge of shattering completely.
"Oh no! We can't stop!"
"If it stops, it'll really become a dead bird!"
In a flash, Crimson Crow unleashed an extremely strong survival instinct.
This survival instinct even overwhelmed its sense of shame.
Even his eyes weren't focused.
Crimson Crow forcefully transformed the horror in his eyes into a deathly resolve filled with vicissitudes, desolation, and regret.
"Fake!"
"It must be this longing that's causing trouble again, taking on the form of its master to disturb my resolve!"
The Crimson Crow suddenly looked up and let out a mournful cry.
Then it pawed at the ground and knelt down, its cries heart-wrenching.
"Master! Crimson Crow is utterly incompetent!"
" Crimson Crow has wasted the Golden Crow True Nature you bestowed upon him, failing to cultivate the Great Dao to serve you Heaven-Piercing!"
"If there is an afterlife... no! Lifetimes upon lifetimes!"
" Crimson Crow is willing to shed this demonic body and transform into the most inconspicuous old ox under your command, to pull your cart and grind your grain, to give its life for you!"
"Anyone who dares to disrespect their master will be torn to Divine Soul by the Crimson Crow with its beak and claws!"
"My master's kindness is as heavy as Crimson Crow; even if I were to be shattered to pieces, I could never repay even a fraction of it!"
He spoke with tears streaming down his face, each word stained with blood.
The enormous head of the Crimson Crow banged wildly against the ground.
The ground thumped and groaned.
"Snap!"
The surrounding illusory realm of immortals and Human Immortal finally gave way at this moment.
It shattered completely, like a mirror.
The starry sky reappeared.
The remaining Fallen Star Golden Liquid floated silently all around.
Crimson Crow's body stiffened.
The two birds' eyes went from blank to shocked, and then to 'suddenly realizing'.
Finally, it transformed into the ecstatic joy of surviving a catastrophe.
"Ah!"
"This... this could be..."
"Could it be that everything just now was an illusion?!"
Crimson Crow used the greatest courage of his life to force himself to look up.
He stared wide-eyed at the young man in the blue robe standing with his hands behind his back.
"Master?! Is it really you?!"
"Heavens above!"
" Crimson Crow thought he had truly failed in his refining process and would never see your divine countenance again!"
"Waaaaah... Master, Crimson Crow missed you so much!"
The Crimson Crow spread its golden wings, which blotted out the sky, and made a gesture of kneeling before Lu Li.
The void was utterly silent.
Lu Li's Dharma Body stood silently suspended above the void.
He watched the Golden Crow's one-man show with a blank expression.
His lips twitched almost imperceptibly.
embarrassed.
That's so awkward.
This hairy beast's acting is appallingly bad.
And yet, he could still act so convincingly.
but...
Lu Li lowered his gaze slightly.
At the very last moment of that inner demon illusion.
After thinking it had been reborn, this foolish bird went through a series of twists and turns, but ultimately gave up its ambition to rebuild its dominance.
He even felt remorse and self-blame for wasting the Golden Crow True Nature.
Although he is naturally lazy, unconventional, and outspoken, his inherent loyalty is genuine.
This is also why Lu Li didn't slap it to death at this moment.
"Alright, stop with your tricks."
Lu Li spoke calmly, interrupting Crimson Crow's earth-shattering howls.
"You want to capture me as a pet? And catch spirit insects every day?"
Crimson Crow suddenly stopped.
The enormous bird's body froze in mid-air.
"Master, Master... that's a calamity! It's all an illusion of the Human Immortal Tribulation, sowing discord!"
Crimson Crow chuckled twice, sweat pouring down his face.
" Crimson Crow's loyalty to you is as clear as the sun and moon, as vast as heaven and earth..."
boom!
Crimson Crow didn't even have time to finish speaking.
The power within him erupted instantly after the Human Immortal Tribulation dissipated.
Within the demon's body, the Solar Divine Fire god shot straight up to the Dipper and the Ox.
"Boom!"
A vast sea of fire erupted from the depths of the starry sky.
Crimson Crow's cultivation level rose at an unbelievable speed.
First-Transcendence Human Immortal!
Second-Transformation Human Immortal!
Third-Turn Human Immortal!
In the void, endless Golden Crow Daoist energy emanated from the body of the Crimson Crow.
Even Lu Li 'Lu Li eyebrows twitched at the sight.
His eyes widened in surprise.
The Golden Crow True Nature is indeed quite something.
He broke through several turns in one fell swoop, his speed even more terrifying than Lu Li's at the same level.
As he pondered this, the massive body of the Crimson Crow began to shrink rapidly.
Each of the golden divine feathers was ablaze with the Solar Divine Fire.
Until its cultivation reached... the Ninth-Turn Human Immortal!
Click!
The ultimate barrier of the Ninth-Turn Human Immortal was shattered in an instant.
The aura emanating from Crimson Crow was extremely powerful.
The entire starry sea of Dragon-Rising Blessed Land seemed to tremble slightly beneath its wings.
Half-Step Earth Immortal!
Upon awakening, Crimson Crow directly stepped into the Half-Step Earth Immortal.
If it weren't for the lack of Blessed Land, Crimson Crow could probably have attained Earth Immortal.
As the flames gradually subside.
A magnificent, three-legged divine bird, its entire body shimmering with gold, was quietly perched in the starry sky.
Savage Wilderness, sacred, domineering, noble.
Even Lu Li stopped being amused, his eyes showing a hint of approval.
His efforts back then were worthwhile.
He bestowed that incomparably precious wisp of the Golden Crow True Nature upon this foolish bird.
At this moment, Crimson Crow slowly opened its bird eyes.
Feeling the terrifying power churning within his body.
Under Lu Li's slightly approving gaze, this extraordinary ancient ferocious bird smacked its beak in an extremely unromantic way.
"Oh dear... what a pity."
"That was such a powerful force!"
"Master, if you had prepared a ready-made Blessed Land foundation for Crimson Crow earlier... Crimson Crow might have gritted his teeth and directly rushed into the Earth Immortal Realm realm just now?"
