Confessing to someone who thinks I'm a fat otaku, and then crying when monsters descend?

After Chen Nian and his companion left, they did not go home immediately.

The activity of the Vermilion Bird's essence blood is time-limited; if it is not absorbed quickly, the pure power contained within will disappear.

So the two found a deserted cave and began to absorb the power of the Vermilion Bird's blood essence.

The essence and blood floated into the air and merged into the old brow.

The terrifying fire energy rushed into his body and began to refine his limbs and bones.

A day has passed.

Constitution +100

[Gene Energy +100000]

[Fire resistance permanently increased by 30%]

[The rare Word of Power—"Heavenly Emperor" has awakened]

[Sequence 88 "Heavenly Emperor": A blazing beam of immense power shoots down from the sky, its power increasing as noon approaches.]

Not only did I gain permanent attributes, but I also awakened a rare Word of Power. This is quite a gain!

Before Ye Hongling wakes up, let's test its power.

Chen Nian went outside and spotted a huge boulder about three meters high on the ground.

"Words of Power, Heavenly Emperor!"

Suddenly, a blinding crimson light fell from the sky.

The sunlight shone precisely on that huge boulder, instantly melting it!

Not only that... even the ground beneath the stone was melted, creating a large hole.

"This power... is a bit terrifying."

It's worth noting that the melting point of ordinary stone is approximately 1200 degrees Celsius.

This beam of light can melt stone instantly, meaning it must be at least 3,000 degrees Celsius. If it were used to shine on a person's body, it would probably leave no bones behind on the spot.

As expected of the power of Suzaku!

Now we're just waiting for Ye Hongling to finish advancing her divine status so we can go home. I wonder how much longer it will take her?

There are still two days until Chinese New Year. If Xiaoqi really goes to my house, it must be a complete mess right now... It's better to let her get used to it first, so that it won't be a nightmare when she goes back.

........

The next night.

Ye Hongling's divine advancement has just reached the final stage.

Countless crimson birds appeared around her, circling and hovering, while a huge phantom of a Vermilion Bird appeared in the sky, soaring through the night, creating a magnificent spectacle.

"Such a grand display...it's not a good sign." Chen Nian frowned.

The group from the Eastern Wilderness traveled thousands of miles to hunt down the Vermilion Bird, demonstrating how highly they value it. If they see this strange phenomenon, they might just come looking for it...

Less than half an hour later, Chen Nian's premonition came true.

"The Vermilion Bird phenomenon... Could the Vermilion Bird be there?"

A group of Eastern Wilderness tribesmen rushed over! They were also a small team that came to hunt down the Vermilion Bird, led by a man named Huang Gu, an elite warrior who grew up bathing in the sacred spring.

"Let's go, capture Suzaku and bring him back; then we'll have accomplished a great feat!"

Just as the group was about to rush over, they suddenly saw a person sitting on a rock in front of them, with a blade of grass in his mouth, looking relaxed and carefree.

"Sorry, this road is closed."

......

"The high priest and his entourage have vanished, the camp has been destroyed, and the mountain has been blasted into ruins—was this your doing?!"

"What arrogance! You ignorant bumpkins who've never seen the world, you locals will be crushed by our Eastern Wilderness Clan sooner or later!"

"Kill him, skin him alive, he'll be perfect for a snack tonight!"

The people of the Eastern Wilderness were born with a wild nature, and at this moment they charged forward like a group of unreasonable barbarians.

However, what awaited them was a deep, inky darkness.

"W-What's going on... I can't see anything!"

"What kind of sorcery is this?! Where is he?!"

"Shut up, all of you!" Huang Gu roared, raising his bone spiked club. "Don't forget, we can locate him by his scent!"

After Huang Gu finished speaking, there was no sound around him.

"Blood, the smell of blood..."

A chill ran down his spine, and he instinctively took a few steps back, getting goosebumps all over his body.

The smell of blood is so strong! How is this possible?

Just then, the darkness dissipated...

When Huang Gu saw the scene around him, his pupils suddenly contracted and his heart skipped a beat!

His subordinates were all dead.

They lay sprawled on the ground, lifeless.

He suddenly looked up at the man in front of him, fear growing stronger in his heart...

"In an instant... you killed so many people, what kind of monster are you?!"

"I should have said that this road is blocked."

"Damn it, I'll fight you to the death! Ughhhhhh..."

Huang Gu let out a roar, and his whole body began to mutate rapidly, just like that high priest. This should be the power given to them by the "Holy Spring".

But the next second, with a loud bang, the Savage Divine Ape descended from the sky!

The huge foot stomped him heavily on the ground, like stepping on a little chick.

"Go to that same city as today, and send him there alive. Wait, to prevent him from resisting, let's break his hands first."

The Savage Divine Ape immediately complied, casually snapping off the Wild Bone Arms as if they were toys. In terms of physical strength, it was still quite invincible at this stage.

"You...you dare to lay a hand on us? You'll regret it!"

Huang Gu gritted his teeth: "Once my Eastern Wilderness army crosses the desert, it will be time to flatten this land. At that time, we will not only plunder your resources, but also rape your women and roast and eat your children! Just wait, hehe..."

"Forget it, with such a foul mouth, I might as well kill him," Chen Nian said calmly.

*Snap!* Huang Gu's neck broke.

They originally wanted to keep one alive to get some information, but Chen Nian was intolerant of any inconsistencies.

Just then, Chen Nian suddenly noticed some movement in the distance.

Open the Heavenly Eye!

Under the all-seeing eye, nothing can hide.

He discovered that there was a man from the Eastern Wilderness hiding in the distance who had witnessed everything; he seemed to be the type who was gathering intelligence.

Chen Nian immediately flew over.

The figure realized it had been exposed and desperately tried to escape, but no matter how fast it ran, it couldn't outrun the illusionary teleportation technique.

Chen Nian stood in front of the woman from the Eastern Wilderness.

With dark skin, strong thighs, thick lips, and muscular arms, the women of the Eastern Wilderness are indeed quite robust.

"Let me go, let me go! I'm a woman!"

The woman screamed and backed away, her eyes filled with terror; she had witnessed what had just happened.

"Next time we meet, I will kill you," Chen Nian said solemnly.

The woman turned and ran, a relieved smile on her face.

Although she is a woman, she has eaten human flesh quite a bit. The day before yesterday, she even ate a local man. Her behavior is just as barbaric as a man's.

I never expected these locals to be so soft-hearted. Once the Eastern Wilderness army has trampled this place flat, the world will belong to us! The woman thought to herself...

Suddenly, another figure flashed before their eyes—it was the same man from before!

"We meet again." Chen Nian smiled.

"you!"

The woman was both shocked and furious; she then realized she had been tricked!

Suddenly, a huge figure crashed down from the sky. It was the Savage Divine Ape, whose enormous iron fist instantly turned the woman into nourishment for the plants.

Finally, the Vermilion Bird phenomenon in the sky disappeared.

Ye Hongling has successfully advanced!
