Chapter 711: Chapter 713: Red Bird!
The Cloud Forest was in the First Heaven, located in the deepest part of the mist.
Within the mist, a forest grew, drawing nutrients from the heavens above.
In the mist, there were also many demon beasts.
These demon beasts were terrifying and exceptionally powerful, able to hide within the mist to swallow and eat people.
So generally, people dared not easily enter the Cloud Forest, let alone its depths.
But Yang Yan’s journey was to venture into the deepest part to find that Primordial Life Tree.
The Holy Medicine Primordial Life Tree, as the Heavenly Saint Tree stated.
It possessed four mystical qualities requiring caution and prudence.
“Only those favored by Heaven and Earth can glimpse its true form,”
The first mystical quality barred more than half of the cultivators.
Yang Yan was a Divine Dragon favored by Heaven, endowed with heavenly blessings, ordinary cultivators had no such fortune,
even a genius struggled to compare to Yang Yan.
“I am someone who can see the Primordial Life Tree with the greatest ease,” Yang Yan thought as he traveled across the world using his innate Dao Skill ‘Near and Far.’
About a day later, he arrived at the location of the Cloud Forest.
Suspended in the air, he gazed at the forest growing below.
He couldn’t help but marvel at the wonders of Heaven and Earth.
Trees grew in the clouds, yet could still grow steadily.
The trees towered high, reaching further into the clouds.
“Enter!” Yang Yan’s figure disappeared from where he stood, stepping into the Cloud Forest.
Along the way, he encountered many cultivators, also traversing the Cloud Forest.
Some were hunting demon beasts, gathering spiritual medicines, or pillaging under the cover of chaos.
Yang Yan also noticed many demon beasts; these beasts hid within the clouds.
Some merged with the mist, some were incredibly large, while others were extremely small,
some continuously changed shapes, and others were hideous-looking.
He walked past these demon beasts, shuttling through space; these beasts only sensed the space’s fluctuation, unable to see through to Yang Yan’s form.
“The demon beasts are quite powerful!”
Immortal realm level demon beasts were everywhere.
King realm level demon beasts were also often seen by Yang Yan.
The deeper he went, the stronger the demon beasts became.
When Yang Yan delved thirty thousand miles into the Cloud Forest, he encountered a demon beast whose cultivation reached the Saint Level among human clan cultivators.
These demon beasts had deep bloodline auras, at a minimum possessing holy beast blood.
As Yang Yan walked past it, it clearly sensed something.
It roared, shaking the space.
If not for Yang Yan’s deep understanding of the Space Dao, he might have been shaken out of the space by it.
“Once I obtain the Primordial Life Tree, I’ll come back to deal with you,”
He didn’t have time to bother with it now, continuing forward.
Yang Yan knew he had likely made his way deep into the Cloud Forest.
Here, perhaps he could see the Primordial Life Tree.
The space around him was full of fluctuations, and Yang Yan saw a palm-sized red flying bird flying in the distance.
The void rippled countless times where it passed.
“Another Saint Level demon beast,”
It appeared small, but its power was absurdly strong.
Even his cheap mentor, Master Xianzhu,
wouldn’t survive ten moves in front of it without being devoured.
“It not only has a rich holy beast blood but also holds the majesty of a king in its bloodline!
It must be a royal beast among the holy beasts!”
This red flying bird was much stronger than the Saint Level demon beast Yang Yan had encountered earlier.
“Who, who is there, spying on me?” As Yang Yan pondered strategies, the palm-sized red flying bird turned its head, staring at where Yang Yan was.
If Yang Yan weren’t currently merged into a space seam, it would probably have already attacked him.
Though Yang Yan was merged into the space seam, so the bird couldn’t see him, it still attacked.
The palm-sized red bird, in a fit of rage, spat raging fires from its beak.
The flames blazed like fleeting steeds, easily setting the surrounding trees ablaze, even burning through the void.
Yang Yan’s form appeared, directly confronting the overwhelming flames.
The flames rushed towards him, yet Yang Yan did not evade them at all.
He allowed the flames to graze his body, causing no more than damage to his clothes.
His hair and eyebrows remained unchanged.
“Your flames are quite ordinary,” Yang Yan said calmly.
Being the Thundering Skyfire Emperor Physique, he couldn’t be harmed by such paltry flames.
The palm-sized bird closed her beak, glaring angrily at Yang Yan.
“You underestimate me, human, watch me beat you to death!”
Her wings spread out, transforming into a hundred-meter-long red flying bird.
Enveloped in flames, she rushed towards Yang Yan.
Faced with her furious charge, Yang Yan raised a hand.
A blaze appeared at his fingertip.
“You’re finished, now it’s my turn!”
With a flick of his hand, the fire surged forth.
“Hmph!” The red bird looked dismissively at the flames Yang Yan flicked.
She paid them no mind at all!
Yet, the moment Yang Yan’s flames struck her, her expression changed abruptly.
Just a wisp of flame instantly set her feathers ablaze.
She tried to suppress it with the flames on her body, but the flame Yang Yan cast consumed it, growing even stronger.
The fire deepened, burning her until she wailed incessantly.
“Stop it, stop it!” she pleaded.
Yang Yan watched her with a smile.
This Saint Level demon beast was truly foolish.
If she had used her innate divine ability, she could have countered his flames.
But she didn’t use her innate divine ability, allowing the flames from Yang Yan to scorch her feathers black and start to burn through.
“My feathers are ruined, ruined, when I return home, my mother will punish me,” she cried.
*Mother?* Clearly, her mother was stronger, more formidable.
Living in the depths of the Cloud Forest, perhaps she might know where the Primordial Life Tree was located.
“If you use your innate divine ability, you can counter my flames,” Yang Yan reminded her.
Such a foolish demon beast, it was the first Yang Yan had encountered.
With red wings, the bird paused, then displayed her innate divine ability.
“Fire Jade Tower!”
The flames on her body coalesced into a pavilion.
This enveloped the flames Yang Yan cast, suppressing them.
Though Yang Yan’s flames continued to devour hers, the power of her innate divine ability suppressed the flames he cast.
Preventing further harm to the red bird.
“Eh, the innate divine ability can truly suppress them!” The red bird hadn’t expected this either.
Her form shrank, gazing at Yang Yan.
“You, human, have a good heart; I forgive your rudeness,” she said, holding her head high.
Many of her feathers were scorched now, making her look rather comical.
Yang Yan chuckled.
“I have no intention of forgiving your rudeness!”
His figure moved beside the palm-sized red bird.
“Hey, what are you doing? If you keep this up, I won’t hold back.”
Yang Yan grabbed her neck, using his Emperor Physique to suppress her.
“How are you so strong? Who exactly are you?” the palm-sized red bird asked.
Yang Yan lifted her to his face, his presence thoroughly restraining her.
Had she been able to use her innate divine ability, she might have had a chance to escape.
But now, caught by his Emperor Physique, dreaming of escape was futile.
“Who I am, don’t worry about that,
I need to ask you, do you know where the Primordial Life Tree is?”
