Chapter 53: Vermilion Bird Appears (2)

  Shen Yan Xiao couldn't help but secretly laugh to herself, silently watching as Shen Yi Feng and the others gazed at the egg with utmost reverence, only stopping short of prostrating themselves in worship.

  "Thank you, Your Majesty!" Shen Yifeng curtsied deeply to the Emperor, her trembling hands betraying the turmoil in her heart as she struggled to contain her excitement.

  The Vermilion Bird is right before his eyes, an opportunity to become the most glorious and honorable family of the Vermilion Bird is at this moment! How can Shen Yifeng not be excited? From the beginning, he didn't put Shen Jiayi and Shen Jiawei in his eyes, they don't have that qualification, nor do they have the ability to contend with him!

  The Vermilion Bird must be his!

  Shen Jiayi and Shen Jiawei secretly glared at Shen Yifeng, although their talents were not bad, but in front of Shen Yifeng, they couldn't help but feel a little short of breath. Normally, they didn't dare to compete with Shen Yifeng too much. Although they were all cousins, the relationship between Shen Yue and Shen Lian was never very harmonious, so their children's relationship wasn't good either.

  If it weren't for Shen Yifeng's strength being weaker than theirs, Shen Jiayi and Shen Jiawei would have probably joined forces to suppress this elder brother of theirs long ago.

  But now, the good opportunity can only be slipped away from under their noses, and the two of them couldn't help but secretly curse Shen Yifeng for being disliked by Zhuque, refusing to sign a contract with him. This way, they naturally also have the opportunity to gain Zhuque's favor.

  Who doesn't want this opportunity to reach for the sky? Since they can't get it themselves, they don't want others to have it either.

  The third generation of the Zhuque family's open and secret struggles were well hidden, and the gods' envoys in the divine realm also had no intention of guessing the internal contradictions within this family.

  Eighteen divine envoys stood eighteen steps away from the black obsidian, standing shoulder to shoulder in a circle with the Vermilion Bird's egg at its center.

  The Holy Lord slowly walked towards the Vermilion Bird Egg emitting high temperatures, and in his hand was a palm-sized golden astrolabe that had appeared at some unknown time. The astrolabe was divided into four circles, each with ancient patterns engraved on it. On the outermost circle, the four directions of east, south, west, and north were engraved with the patterns of the Four Ancient Divine Beasts.

  Shen Yan Xiao was far away from Sheng Jun, she could only see from a distance that the golden astrolabe in Sheng Jun's hand was constantly rotating inside.

  With a crisp crack, the golden roulette stopped rotating, and several rays of light shot out from the golden roulette. Under the illumination of the light, a fiery red shadow suddenly appeared in mid-air, like a flame bird spreading its wings and flying. Its whole body emitted dazzling flames. The huge firebird circled in mid-air, and in an instant, it transformed into a red light that rushed into the motionless Vermilion Bird egg.

  Everything in front of them left the eight people from the Vermilion Bird family stunned, they had no idea what the golden astrolabe in the Holy Lord's hand was, and even more so, they didn't know if the sudden appearance and disappearance of the flame giant bird in the Vermilion Bird egg was just their illusion.

  All of this has already exceeded their cognitive range.

  Suddenly, a massive tremor occurred in the vast cave, and the ground beneath Shen Yanxiao's feet cracked open with numerous fissures. Through the cracks, she could clearly see the continuously flowing molten lava beneath the soil, with fiery magma about one meter below her feet. White steam constantly spewed out from the crevices, and the scorching temperature made people feel as if they were in a steamer.
