Primordial Era: I, Hongyun, take charge of the literary path

The rocks in Iris Mountain are all strangely shaped, such as a wolf swallowing the moon, a tiger hunting its prey, or a python swallowing the sky. They are bizarre and full of charm.

These sacred stones and mountains possess divine essence; it would not be surprising if they were to be created and manifest in human form.

"Lili—!!"

Just then, a faint chirping sound came, followed by a loud booming explosion.

Huo Yun looked up at the sky and saw a large bird flying in from the horizon. The bird was entirely crimson with golden feathers and exuded an extremely yang energy.

It is the twilight bird unique to Iris Mountain.

The Twilight Bird, with its pair of golden-red eyes, landed on a mountain peak that was hundreds of thousands of feet high.

"A Twilight Bird at the Taiyi Golden Immortal level?!"

The Twilight Bird opened its blood-red maw and pounced on Fire Cloud, intending to swallow him whole.

Seeing the Twilight Bird rushing towards him, Huo Yun flicked his finger, and a streak of light pierced the sky.

To the twilight bird's astonishment, the beam of light sliced ​​off the feathers from its tail.

"Lili~!!"

Seeing this, the Twilight Bird was terrified and flapped its wings, fleeing into the depths of Iris Mountain.

Seeing the Twilight Bird trying to escape, Fire Cloud flicked his finger, and a sword aura shot out from his fingertip.

The sword energy severed the Twilight Bird from its head, splattering large amounts of hot, golden blood onto the mountain peak.

After those spiritual herbs and immortal plants were stained with the blood of the Twilight Bird of the Taiyi Golden Immortal, they immediately underwent all sorts of miraculous changes.

After killing the Twilight Bird, Fire Cloud took away its corpse, and then he could have a roast chicken.

Perhaps it was the lingering aura of that Taiyi Golden Immortal Twilight Bird that caused Huo Yun to discover that other Twilight Birds would flee in fear upon encountering him, daring not to approach him at all.

Huo Yun was not a bloodthirsty person; he always aimed to educate and guide people, and he would not kill unless absolutely necessary.

Fire Cloud travels ten thousand miles in a single step, heading deep into the Iris Mountain. In the direction he travels, hundreds of millions of miles away, lies a blazing spring.

The Blazing Spring is a spiritual spring formed from the condensation of blazing energy, and it generally only appears in places of extreme yang.

For a race like the Twilight Birds that cultivates with the energy of fire, the Blazing Spring is undoubtedly a treasure trove for training.

Here, hundreds of Twilight Birds breathe in and out around the Blazing Spring, using the blazing energy to constantly temper their bodies.

The feathers on the Twilight Bird emitted streaks of golden light, and waves of scorching heat rolled outwards.

Every Twilight Bird here has at least the cultivation level of a Golden Immortal, and some even reach the level of a Taiyi Golden Immortal.

At the center of the Twilight Bird, the blazing spring shone brightly, with streaks of golden light appearing and disappearing in the void.

At the bottom of the Blazing Spring, a Taoist priest wearing a jeweled crown is meditating with his eyes closed.

The Taoist was the king of the Twilight Bird clan, who called himself the Twilight Ancestor. On the chest of the Twilight Ancestor, a crimson pearl radiated a dazzling light.

Not long after, Huoyun arrived near the Blazing Spring and saw the flock of Twilight Birds surrounding it.

Huo Yun murmured, "Is the thing that resonated with me in that Blazing Spring?"

When Huoyun sensed the Blazing Spring, it alerted Twilight Ancestor, who looked up and "saw" Huoyun.

"Boom!"

The Blazing Spring bursts open directly from the bottom of the water.

"What kind of scoundrel are you, hiding your head and showing your tail?"

Twilight Ancestor flew out from the Blazing Spring, his sharp gaze fixed on the fiery clouds hidden in the void.

As soon as he finished speaking, a tremendous aura erupted from Twilight Ancestor's body, and rolling demonic clouds surged forth, soaring straight into the sky.

"Screech! Cry!!"

Seeing the Twilight Ancestor unleash his power, the Twilight Birds chirped incessantly, their feathers radiating a dazzling golden light, instantly making the air scorching hot.

Seeing this, Huo Yun stopped hiding and slowly walked out of the void.

"This humble Taoist is Huo Yun. I have come to offer you my Fire Spirit Pearl. I urge you to relinquish your affection."

Huo Yunhou spoke shamelessly.

Twilight Ancestor was almost amused by Huo Yun's anger. In the vast and ancient world, there was actually such a person?

"Hmph! You want the ancestor's treasure?"

Twilight Ancestor sneered, "Heh, let's see if you have the ability to get it from me."

Twilight Ancestor was the first to attack Fire Cloud, unleashing a palm strike that illuminated mountains and rivers with golden light.

"Boom! Rumble~!!"

Where the golden light passed, the rocks were shattered into dust, and even caused the fiery power of Mount Iris to boil.

The world fell into a solemn silence!

The golden light, like divine punishment, devoured all life. Under that terrifying golden light, the fire cloud was so small and insignificant, as if it would turn to ashes in an instant.

The golden light crashed down, and the violent shockwave ravaged everything, shaking the entire Iris Mountain.

The twilight birds around the Blazing Spring were terrified by this sight and scattered to other places.

They couldn't participate in battles at the Great Luo level; even the aftershocks were difficult for them to withstand.

The chaotic energy stirred up a gale, which transformed into a violent storm, mixed with endless scorching heat.

The air suddenly became scorching hot, and the fiery heat spread beyond Iris Mountain, turning the ground black.

A moment later, the golden light dissipated, and a fiery cloud emerged from the void, holding a huge thorny feather in its hand.

It is a top-grade acquired spiritual treasure: Yuanfeng Thorn Feather.

"Behold my Yuan Feng Ji Yu, my sword shatters the void!"

Huo Yun glanced coldly at the Twilight Ancestor opposite him, let out a low shout, and thrust his sword horizontally.

Yuan Fengjiyu unleashed a golden radiance, its light flashing, and the sword energy shot out like a laser.

"Hmph, behold the Ancestor's magic weapon!"

Twilight Ancestor summoned his magic weapon, the Fire Spirit Orb, unleashing its full power. The orb shone with boundless divine light, like a small sun, and crashed heavily into the fire cloud.

Yuan Fengji's sword energy was shattered, but the speed of the Fire Spirit Orb did not decrease at all, and it directly suppressed the fire cloud.

Huo Yun remained calm and took out another high-grade acquired spiritual treasure, the Purple Gold Pill, to block the Fire Spirit Pearl.

The Purple Gold Pill was crafted for him by Feng Yun; it is a defensive magic weapon with the ability to automatically defend against attacks.

The Fire Spirit Orb and the Purple Gold Pill collided in mid-air.

Two distinct forces directly divided the world into two realms: one golden, the other purple.

As the two magical treasures clashed, endless destructive power was forming, spreading, and wreaking havoc.

"Old bird, take another strike from me!"

Huo Yun's lips curled into a cold smile.

While the Purple Gold Pill and the Fire Spirit Pearl were locked in a stalemate, Huo Yun directly unleashed a sword strike with the Yuan Phoenix Thorn Feather.

Twilight Ancestor controlled the Fire Spirit Orb to defend, but each time the Fire Spirit Orb was blocked by the Purple Gold Pill.

Fire Cloud's sword energy struck Twilight Ancestor, leaving a hideous wound on his body.

"Wow, behold the ancestor's divine power!"

Seeing himself bleeding, Twilight Ancestor was enraged, his golden eyes filled with savagery.

The next instant, the Twilight Ancestor revealed his true form, a Twilight Bird millions of feet tall standing between heaven and earth, its terrifying pressure distorting the air.

The Twilight Ancestor radiated a scorching, fiery power that seemed to melt even the void itself.

"Screech! Die, Ancestor!"

The Twilight Ancestor let out a cry and spat out a burst of blazing fire formed from the power of blazing flames.

The next moment, golden, shimmering light gradually appeared within Iris Mountain, and the sky was enveloped in a layer of golden flames. Wherever the flames passed, everything turned to ashes.
