Qin Jun turned his head and saw an immensely huge firebird soaring up from the clouds, wings outstretched.
Its wingspan seemed as if it could cover the sky, causing a violent wind that even stirred the flying islands along its path. The howling wind forced Qin Jun to shield his face with his arm.
The Divine Beast, the Vermilion Bird!
Qin Jun narrowed his eyes; the immense firebird that surged through the clouds was none other than the Vermilion Bird, even larger than the protector deity of the Nanzhuo Dynasty. Wherever it passed, scorching heat swept through, causing most cultivators to break out in profuse sweat.
"Why has a Vermilion Bird appeared?"
"Making a fuss over nothing. In the Imperial Dynasty, there are plenty of Divine Beasts, even dragons!"
"Really? Is the Imperial Dynasty that powerful?"
"The Imperial Dynasty strictly controls the Divine Beasts to keep the empires in check. Without Divine Beasts, a kingdom could never ascend to become an empire."
