Chapter 595: Vermilion Bird Holy Fire!

It was originally a bleak white bone, slowly exuding a fire‑like glow.

Before long, the entire skeleton turned a fiery red, like blazing flames.

"What is happening?"

The four children all showed surprised expressions, shocked by the scene before them.

Suddenly, clusters of flames burst from the skeleton.

The massive skeleton ignited with raging fire, like a phoenix bathed in flames!

What was once a pitch‑black Abyss was illuminated by crimson light; if this were not at the bottom of a ten‑thousand‑foot Abyss, the crimson glow would surely attract everyone's attention.

But at this moment, only the four children saw it.

Xiao Huihui was also dumbfounded.

Within the flames, a vague silhouette gradually appeared.

It was a Vermilion Bird Divine Beast whose whole body was covered in long, crimson feathered fur!

Proud, noble.

The flames burning across its body further accentuated its solitary, world‑apart nature, untainted by dust.

The four and the bird, with the Vermilion Bird silhouette reflected in their eyes, were all dumbfounded.

"My Vermilion Bird clan bloodline, I have finally awaited your arrival. Our Vermilion Bird Holy Fire endures eternally. I will pass the Vermilion Bird Holy Fire to you; promise me you will use it to purify this world!"

As the words fell, all the flames surged into Xiao Huihui's body.

In an instant, Xiao Huihui was engulfed by endless flames.

"Xiao Huihui!"

Even though they knew Xiao Huihui would be fine, when they saw it being swallowed by flames, Xiao Hu's heart tightened at that moment.

The endless flames flowed, driving away all darkness, filling everything with light!

The Vermilion Bird Holy Fire can expel all darkness and evil in the world.

I will use the Vermilion Bird Holy Fire to purify this world!

That is the Vermilion Bird clan's mission.

When the final strand of flame surged into Xiao Huihui's body, Xiao Huihui completed the transformation.

From an ordinary little sparrow, it evolved into a noble, elegant Vermilion Bird Divine Beast.

Between them, only a strand of Holy Fire separated them.

In that instant, the Vermilion Bird's skeleton turned to ash, drifted with the wind, and vanished between heaven and earth.

In its place stood a living, genuine Vermilion Bird Divine Beast!

Staring at the huge, noble Vermilion Bird Divine Beast, the four children were so shocked they could not speak.

Especially Xiao Hu, who simply did not know how to describe his feelings at that moment.

In his understanding, Xiao Huihui was just a sparrow!

What the heck!

Xiao Huihui turned out to be a Vermilion Bird!

The Vermilion Bird is a top‑bloodline Divine Beast!

At any given time, only one complete Vermilion Bird can exist!

Because there is only one strand of Vermilion Bird Holy Fire, and a Vermilion Bird without it is not a true Vermilion Bird!

In other words, the Vermilion Bird Holy Fire is the soul of the Vermilion Bird!

That is why Xiao Huihui had been a sparrow for so many years.

It possessed the Vermilion Bird bloodline but had not inherited the Vermilion Bird Holy Fire, making it an incomplete Vermilion Bird.

Now, Xiao Huihui has inherited the Vermilion Bird Holy Fire from its ancestors, undergoing rebirth and finally becoming a true Vermilion Bird Divine Beast!

"My master, Xiao Hu, will you join me in using the Vermilion Bird Holy Fire to purify this world?"

"Xiao Huihui, oh," the Vermilion Bird Divine Beast asked.

"What?"

Why does this voice sound nothing like Xiao Huihui's?

But...

"I am willing."

Xiao Huihui, since the day I met you, our destinies have been bound together.

We are destined to walk hand in hand, traversing the mountains and rivers together!

Therefore, I am willing to join you, using the Vermilion Bird Holy Fire to purify this world!

The Vermilion Bird Divine Beast let out a long cry to the heavens, and the Vermilion Bird Holy Fire shone brilliantly.

Darkness, in the light of the Vermilion Bird Holy Fire, has nowhere to hide; evil, in its scorching blaze, turns to ash.

The Vermilion Bird returns, its Holy Fire unextinguished!

The Vermilion Bird Divine Beast's light flashed, and it reverted to the form of the little sparrow. Looking at the vanished skeleton, sorrow surfaced in its eyes.

It turned out that the skeleton was not its kind, but its ancestor.

Because only one Vermilion Bird Divine Beast can exist at a time.

The fall of one Vermilion Bird can bring about the rise of another.

Like the flower and leaf of the other‑worldly flower, they can never meet.

This is the Vermilion Bird clan's great and eternal sorrow.

He who wishes to wear the crown must bear its weight.

Heaven granted the Vermilion Bird the power to cleanse the world, and also bestowed upon them endless loneliness.

Endless sorrow welled up in Xiao Huihui's eyes.

A small hand stroked its little head.

"Xiao Huihui, you still have me, you still have Xiao Chen, you still have mother and father!"

Xiao Huihui's gaze trembled lightly.

Indeed, it is not lonely.

It still has so many relatives.

Xiao Huihui smiled, "Master, in my heart you will always be my little master!"

Xiao Huihui nudged Xiao Hu with its ashy head.

"Hehe..." Xiao Hu scratched its head shyly, "In my heart, you will always be Xiao Huihui too!"

A child and a bird exchanged smiles.

Under the azure sky, the ancient forest was lush and dense.

Below the ten‑thousand‑zhang Abyss, a gigantic Vermilion Bird Divine Beast surged out of the chasm.

Its splendid plumage and blazing body streamed radiant light under the sun.

"Wow! I never imagined that one day I could ride a Vermilion Bird Divine Beast!"

Mu Qianqian and Gu Xingyan stared at the Vermilion Bird Divine Beast, still unable to recover from the shock.

"Look, what is that?"

Xiao Chen pointed west.

The distant beam was filled with a shocking power.

Xiao Hu exclaimed excitedly, "Mother must be there; let's go see!"

The beam over the dense forest seemed to weaken.

Originally hidden by the bright light, like looking at the sun with the naked eye, now a faint silhouette gradually appeared.
