Chapter 321: Chapter 293: Vermilion Bird Divine Tree, Invincible Ground

Seeing this, the Vermilion Bird grew even more furious.

Knowing that ordinary methods were useless against Jiang Zuo, it flapped its wings rapidly. A massive green fireball, like a miniature sun, coalesced before it.

Jiang Zuo’s eyes narrowed.

He could feel an aura of destruction emanating from the colossal green fireball.

The power of this attack from the Vermilion Bird would be utterly terrifying.

The Water Curtain Celestial Splendor immediately dispersed, and Jiang Zuo recalled his group of Spirit Beasts into the Spirit Garden.

If they were hit by this attack, they would be grievously injured, if not killed outright.

The giant fireball came crashing down.

BOOM!

In an instant, a mushroom cloud rose into the air.

A hint of triumph flickered in the Vermilion Bird’s eyes.

’With an attack this terrifying, even if this human survives, he’ll be badly mangled.’

However, Jiang Zuo burst out from the edge of the fiery explosion.

Taking advantage of the Vermilion Bird’s moment of distraction, Jiang Zuo charged right in front of it.

"Kill!"

The Sword Pill flared with light as it viciously slashed down at the Vermilion Bird’s body.

Startled, the Vermilion Bird raised a wing to block the Sword Pill.

The Sword Pill was incomparably sharp; even a fifth-tier Divine Beast would struggle to withstand it.

HISS!

A large portion of the Vermilion Bird’s wing was sliced off.

But to Jiang Zuo’s surprise, the severed part of the wing seemed to be made of pure flame.

After falling midway through the air, it simply faded away.

And on the Vermilion Bird’s body, a new wing grew back in its place.

Having its wing cut off by Jiang Zuo, the Vermilion Bird was not only shocked but also became even more enraged. It began a frantic battle with Jiang Zuo atop the Divine Tree.

The battle between Jiang Zuo and the Vermilion Bird was world-shaking. Jiang Zuo’s fists, wreathed in golden lightning, were actually able to damage the Vermilion Bird’s fiery body—they proved far more effective than the Sword Pill.

But no matter how grievously Jiang Zuo injured the Vermilion Bird, it would recover almost instantly.

In the process, Jiang Zuo also suffered considerable injuries from the Vermilion Bird’s attacks.

However, Jiang Zuo’s own regenerative ability was just as astonishingly powerful.

As long as the damage wasn’t fatal, he would be more or less recovered after just a few exchanges.

’Just as I thought. It’s impossible to defeat the Vermilion Bird without separating it from this Divine Tree.’

After fighting for the better part of half a day, Jiang Zuo was finally certain.

No wonder the many Dao Fruit Realm Cultivators of the Helian Family had been helpless against the Vermilion Bird.

As long as it was near the Divine Tree, the Vermilion Bird could draw on a limitless source of replenishment.

Unless a Manifestation Realm Cultivator came, it would be impossible to defeat it.

Jiang Zuo had fought it for half a day, and the damage he had inflicted was by no means light.

Theoretically, the Vermilion Bird’s energy consumption should have been immense.

But in reality, after fighting for so long, its aura had barely changed at all.

The Vermilion Bird Divine Tree below, on the other hand, had a slightly weakened aura.

If this continued, Jiang Zuo would be the one to have his energy drained.

’Looks like my only option is to dig up the tree first.’

Jiang Zuo made his decision instantly.

Digging up the Vermilion Bird Divine Tree right in front of the Vermilion Bird was, without a doubt, extremely difficult.

But for Jiang Zuo, it wasn’t impossible.

Jiang Zuo immediately summoned Great Black, Xiaoqing, and the others again, having them consume Great Rejuvenation Pills.

Then, under Jiang Zuo’s command, they began to attack the Vermilion Bird.

The Vermilion Bird didn’t care who it was; if anyone dared to attack it, it would retaliate in kind.

Jiang Zuo seized the opportunity to fly down to the base of the Divine Tree and resume digging.

The Vermilion Bird was enraged. Was he acting like it didn’t even exist?

A massive barrage of fire attacks rained down on Jiang Zuo.

Jiang Zuo was prepared and took the hits head-on.

These attacks caused him considerable damage, but they weren’t fatal.

As Jiang Zuo frantically swung his hoe, his injuries healed at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Seeing this, the Spirit Beasts all attacked the Vermilion Bird, trying to keep it too busy to launch continuous attacks on Jiang Zuo.

The Vermilion Bird possessed high Spiritual Wisdom. After dodging a few attacks, it flapped its wings and once again condensed a miniature sun in the air.

The miniature sun came crashing down once more.

Jiang Zuo still didn’t dodge. Instead, he brought out the Thunderstruck Wood from the Beast God Tree.

BOOM!

The mushroom cloud reappeared.

Jiang Zuo’s entire body was turned into a mangled mess of flesh and blood.

"Life!"

However, Jiang Zuo slapped himself and activated the Life Rune Technique.

He already possessed an incredible regenerative ability, and under the effect of the Life Rune Technique, his physical body repaired itself at a rapid pace.

Even the miniature sun couldn’t kill Jiang Zuo. A rare look of panic appeared in the Vermilion Bird’s eyes.

Moreover, the miniature sun’s explosion had exposed a large portion of the Vermilion Bird Divine Tree’s roots, saving Jiang Zuo a great deal of digging effort.

Seeing that the Vermilion Bird Divine Tree was about to be dug up by Jiang Zuo, a look of grim determination flashed in the Vermilion Bird’s eyes.

It tilted its head back and spat out a cyan Inner Core.

The Inner Core spun slowly in the air. In the blink of an eye, over ten green miniature suns formed around it.

And compared to the previous ones, the power of these miniature suns was clearly far greater.

"Rage!"

But at that moment, a voice suddenly echoed in its ears.

The Vermilion Bird’s eyes turned red. Without waiting for the miniature suns to fully form, it furiously sent them hurtling down to attack Jiang Zuo.

"Eclipse!"

But at the same time, Great Black once again unleashed its innate talent.

This time, it bit down and swallowed the Vermilion Bird’s Inner Core in a single gulp.
