Chapter 233: I Have to Take Action Myself
"Senior!" Di Jun shouted aloud, suppressing the anger in his heart.
Although the Dragon Phoenix Qilin tribes had withdrawn from the stage of the Primordial World, Di Jun still held great respect for the ancestors of the three tribes.
There were so many innate tribes; the three of them were able to lead their tribes to rise during the Beast Calamity not only because they were powerful, but also because they had made contributions to this world.
If it were according to his past temperament, he would not waste any words and would have charged in forcefully.
But having suffered repeated setbacks at the hands of Tian Yuan, this former Demon Emperor had unknowingly begun to restrain his own arrogance.
Alas, those crimson eyes merely flashed and vanished.
The space before them fell into gloom once more, with only the *whoosh-whoosh* sound of Yuanfeng constantly flapping his wings.
The energy rippling out from his entire body grew layer upon layer, and was actually still gradually strengthening.
The aura emanating from Yuanfeng's body even began to make Di Jun feel somewhat startled.
Although he had been captured by Tian Yuan just after attaining the Hunyuan Great Luo Golden Immortal realm, he had not been idling during the long time spent inside Mount Buzhou.
He had been preparing to break free every single moment, and his Dao cultivation was much more stable than when he had first broken through.
He was a Three-Legged Golden Crow, wielding the Great Sun Golden Flame, the ancestor of all fires, and was no ordinary Hunyuan Great Luo Golden Immortal. Yet, right now, Yuanfeng's body faintly gave him a sense of threat.
Wangshu, behind him, had also made a discovery and hurriedly shouted, "This Yuanfeng is not simple; the aura on his body is also very strange!"
Although this place was inside the Undying Volcano, she and Di Jun were no ordinary people. It would be one thing if they couldn't suppress Yuanfeng in a short time, but it was a major problem if their combined efforts couldn't even hold him back.
Di Jun did not speak, using his actions to provide the best response.
The aura of an emperor, mixed with the Great Sun Golden Flame, erupted upward, standing like a purple-gold Heavenly Pillar in the gloomy void, burning with rolling Golden Flame.
Behind him, a massive three-legged divine bird condensed, blooming with scorching light.
The originally gloomy world brightened up in an instant.
On Wangshu's body, rich moonlight also rose, transforming into specks of silver light that fell like stars scattered across the flowing pitch-black magma.
The world turned into gold and silver, rolling toward the flames emerging from Yuanfeng's body.
Under the illumination of the two energies, the two of them finally saw Yuanfeng's appearance clearly.
The feathers that were legendary for being colorful and extraordinarily beautiful were now entirely pitch-black, and his body was shrouded in chaotic Chaos Energy.
Although Yuanfeng, Zulong, and Shiqilin were called Chaos Divine Beasts, they were not truly born in Chaos and could not possibly be wrapped in such terrifying Chaos Energy.
But before the two could observe any further, Yuanfeng, swimming in the magma, cried out to the sky.
Amidst the loud sound, an even more powerful momentum surged up, accompanied by the emergence of even more terrifying energy.
Di Jun and Wangshu, who were on the scene, were both stunned, their eyes filled with disbelief.
Yuanfeng's current strength already exceeded their imagination, and they had not expected the opponent to still be holding back.
More crucially, the fluctuations overflowing now were all being unleashed by Yuanfeng instinctively.
If the opponent were being targeted, it would definitely be even more exaggerated.
The energy Yuanfeng revealed faintly exceeded the level of a Hunyuan Great Luo Golden Immortal.
The two looked at each other and hesitated no longer; they immediately saw the gold and silver energies in the air intertwine, carrying brilliant light as they wrapped toward Yuanfeng.
The Southern Land of Mount Buzhou.
Di Jun's sudden appearance made Changxi and the others excited and joyful.
The members of the Demon Court were wondering why Di Jun had fled toward the Undying Volcano when they heard a cry in the distance, and then saw black flames surging like a tide across the horizon.
The leaping flames blocked the entire sky of the Southern Land like a curtain.
Feeling the might coming from within, Baize hurriedly shouted aloud, "Not good! Retreat quickly, retreat to the foot of Mount Buzhou!"
Beside him, Xihe and the Little Golden Crows also realized something was wrong; they all retreated in a panic and landed at the foot of Mount Buzhou. The flames stopped ten thousand meters away from Mount Buzhou, and the terrifying heatwave swept over, causing everyone, including Baize, to feel their Primordial Spirit tremble slightly.
But before everyone could recover, an even fiercer fire rose in the distance, rippling toward them.
The flames still stopped ten thousand meters away; in the rolling black flames, only the Fusang Wood swayed in the wind.
"How could this be?"
"The flames are getting bigger and bigger; could this be Father Emperor's doing?"
"What on earth happened on the Undying Volcano?"
The people on the scene wore puzzled expressions, each with doubt in their eyes.
They had been in the Buzhou Mountain Consciousness Space clearing flames for quite some time and had always been safe and sound; why were there repeated anomalies today?
Looking out now, the entire Southern Land had become an ocean of fire.
Not only on the ground, but even in the void, black flames were burning.
Was it a sudden incident, or was it Di Jun's doing? The flames rolling in from the horizon all shimmered with a gloomy light; it was clearly not the Demon Emperor's method.
As high-ranking members of the Demon Court, they had almost all seen Di Jun's Great Sun Golden Flame with their own eyes.
It was golden and brilliant, blooming with scorching light; at a glance, it was incomparably sacred, not pitch-black like this.
"Mother, could it be the method of that stone man?" Dajinwu looked at Changxi beside him with worry.
After this series of events, he already clearly understood Tian Yuan's strength.
Father Emperor had clearly broken through long ago, but only appeared now; there must be other reasons, most likely a wariness of Tian Yuan.
Hearing this, the remaining Little Golden Crows all looked over nervously.
The longer they stayed in this space, the more they understood Tian Yuan's terror.
Changxi did not know the specifics, so she waved her hand and replied casually, "Don't worry! Your Father Emperor has already proven the Dao to Hunyuan, so there is no need to worry."
Although she said this, Changxi could not help but feel a wave of worry in her heart.
The flames in the distance already gave her a feeling of fatal danger; although the distance of ten thousand meters was not far, she was, after all, a Hunyuan Golden Immortal.
More importantly, looking out now, the flames were boundless and endless, with no end in sight, and Di Jun's figure was completely invisible.
The shimmering gloomy light almost dyed the Mount Buzhou behind them with a strange color.
It was fortunate that they had retreated early, otherwise, who knew what would have happened.
Baize, waiting on the side, merely frowned, already having a guess in his heart.
The Demon Emperor being able to break free must have been because Tian Yuan took the initiative to release him, and now he must be heading toward the source of the flames in the Southern Land.
It is just unclear what happened in the Undying Volcano to trigger this volcanic eruption, even radiating across the entire Southern Land.
Thinking this in his heart, Baize turned his head slightly to look at Mount Buzhou behind him.
The earlier disturbance at Mount Buzhou must have been Tian Yuan's doing.
Now that the flames in the Southern Land are even more intense, that person is likely to appear.
In the Western Abyss of Mount Buzhou, Tian Yuan looked up gloomily toward the Southern Land; he had somewhat overestimated Di Jun's methods.
"It seems I still have to take action myself!"
He had originally intended to let Di Jun handle it, but who would have thought that in such a short time, the Undying Volcano would erupt completely.
Now located in the Western Abyss, Tian Yuan could clearly feel the scorching heat from the south.
