A terrible rumble echoed out suddenly, destroying everything in an instant.
Red-haired Bu Fang, his eyes shining, seemed to have transformed into a vermilion bird who descended from the sky. The feathers all over him were burning, giving off unmatched scorching heat. He had absorbed the power of those phoenix feathers, and he was returning it to the Divine Chefs.
Vermilion birds and phoenixes were different species. There were many kinds of phoenixes, but only one kind of vermilion bird. Also known as Rosefinch, vermilion birds were heavenly spirit beasts and were rarer than phoenixes. In fact, their status was nobler than that of phoenixes.
People often confused vermilion birds with phoenixes and even thought that phoenixes were nobler than them. Moreover, some people said that vermilion birds were actually fire phoenixes, the nobles among phoenixes with the purest bloodline.
