“These are the Vermillion Bird Stones that I discovered when I obtained the Vermillion Bird Plume! Only the Vermillion Bird Stone will not be affected and can completely conceal its aura!”

Elder Zhang said as he touched the fiery red stone on the wall of the passageway.

“Vermillion Bird Stone?” Qin Fei muttered in surprise as he reached out to touch it.

“Brother Qin, don’t” Elder Zhang hurriedly tried to stop him. His expression changed drastically and he was extremely anxious.

However, it was already too late for Qin Fei to touch the Vermillion Bird Stone. An even more terrifying heat instantly came from the Vermillion Bird Stone, enough to melt steel.

Hu! Right at this moment, his Cosmos Bracelet suddenly rang. The Ancient Era’s Phoenix actually rushed out and took the initiative to protect Qin Fei.

Thump thump thump …

Qin Fei involuntarily took a dozen steps back. He looked at Vermillion Bird Stone in horror and then at his own palm. His skin was burnt and gave off an unpleasant smell.

He hurriedly circulated his Star Profound Qi to restore his charred black palm to its original state. He was shocked. If it wasn’t for Dan Que’s help, the high temperature would have entered his body in an instant. At that time, he would have become a roasted pig.

He had Purple Yang energy and Extreme Yang energy in his body, but they were actually unable to resist the Vermillion Bird Stone’s energy. If it was Vermillion Bird, then what if it was Plume?

Strangely, Elder Zhang was not affected in the slightest. Instead, he revealed an expression of intoxication and enjoyment in the heat wave.

‘”This Vermillion Bird Stone can’t be touched. I also cultivate fire-type profound energy. By coincidence, I obtained another Fire Spirit Pill in the Primordial Secret Territory. Only then can I withstand this terrifying heat wave. Everyone else will be cremated the moment they come into contact with the Vermillion Bird Stone. Fortunately, you have the help of the Star Profound Energy and the Ancient Phoenix. Otherwise, the result will be the same as everyone else! Let’s go, let’s go in!” Elder Zhang said solemnly as he took the lead and walked towards the depths of the passageway.

Qin Fei’s heart was filled with contention. This Vermillion Bird Stone was so terrifying, yet even his Extreme Yang Qi was unable to block it. He wanted to see what kind of power it was.

He put Dan Que away again, releasing a purple light that enveloped his entire body, allowing endless heat waves to sweep through his body through the Extreme Yang Qi.

Buzz!

An enormous impact brought with it a heat wave. A miraculous scene occurred. The Extreme Yang Qi suddenly expanded, like a volcano erupting, releasing even more terrifying heat. When it collided with the heat wave, it erupted with an ear-piercing rumbling sound.

Elder Zhang turned around and looked at him in surprise. He exclaimed, “This is the power of the Purple Sun! I didn’t expect you to be able to obtain it!”

Step by step, Qin Fei’s speed became faster and faster. Soon, he walked shoulder to shoulder with Elder Zhang. The surrounding heat waves entered his body and instead began to temper his body, causing the skin around his body to glow with a fiery red light.

“Fire Spirit Body! This is a sign that you are about to refine a fire spirit body! I didn’t expect this old man to personally witness the birth of the legendary Xiantian Spirit Body today!” Elder Zhang looked at him in surprise.

Qin Fei was puzzled. What was an Innate Spirit Body?

“In the world of martial cultivators, God Emperors are not the highest realm. There are even stronger existences above them. If all martial cultivators want to cross that realm, they need to temper their physical bodies, completely fuse their profound energy with their physical bodies, and achieve the Spirit Body Realm! Elder Zhang sighed in admiration as he looked at Qin Fei. “Xiantian Spirit Body is the foundation of the Spirit Body Realm. Only after reaching the Sublimation Refinement Realm can one withstand the Heavenly Awakening Spirit Wind.”

“And you are only at the first level of the Divine Emperor Stage, yet you are able to temper your Xiantian Spirit Body first. This is something that countless martial artists have never achieved before. You are truly worthy of being a successor of the Stars. You have accomplished something that countless people have not been able to accomplish!” At the end of his sentence, Elder Zhang was completely convinced of Qin Fei.

Qin Fei listened carefully. This was the first time he had heard about the situation above the Divine Emperor, so he couldn’t help but be curious.

“Elder Zhang, what realm is behind the Spirit Body Realm?” He asked curiously.

“I don’t know! With my knowledge, I can only know this. If I go up, only God Emperors will know! You will find out one day!” Elder Zhang shook his head with a bitter smile.

Boom!

At this moment, A loud noise interrupted his words. Qin Fei’s body actually rose more than three zhang high. The temperature of the flames was extremely high, attracting the surrounding heat waves. With his body as the center, it formed a huge vortex. At the center of the vortex, the flames became more and more blazing. The terrifying heat was so high that even Elder Zhang was unable to resist it. He was so shocked that he retreated repeatedly.

He was incomparably shocked. Even the Fire Spirit Pearl in his possession was unable to resist the tyrannical power emitted by Qin Fei. This was simply too terrifying.

The flames burned on Qin Fei’s body. The scene was extremely mysterious. Although the flames were strong, not even a single hair of his body was injured. Even the green battle robe on his body was intact.

Rumble!

A series of explosions rang out on his body like thunder. Countless cracks appeared on his flesh, but no blood flowed out. Flames burrowed into his body from the cracks, and then a surge of purple gas rose up and enveloped his entire body.

Hu!

A gust of wind formed from flames appeared out of thin air and circled around him. It faintly formed a giant flaming dragon that soared into the air, emitting unparalleled dignity.

Elder Zhang’s eyes almost popped out. He hurriedly retreated another hundred meters, He looked at Qin Fei with shock as his skin completely turned into lava and flowed around him. A monstrous aura surged like a tidal wave. The surging pressure was like a mountain, pressing down on the passageway, causing the surrounding space to ripple completely, as if it was about to shatter at any moment.

Qin Fei’s skin was burning with flames, and sparks were constantly jumping about, blossoming with dazzling brilliance.

“The Fire Spirit Body is about to succeed!” Elder Zhang said in horror, his eyes staring at the current change. He wanted to remember this change so that he could make a breakthrough in the future.

This was a rare sight. Elder Zhang had never heard of anyone who was fortunate enough to witness the formation of an Innate Spirit Body.

This would be a precious amount of cultivation experience, and he couldn’t afford to miss any of it.

Hu!

A gust of fire wind blew, and the giant fire dragon let out a silent roar as it looked up into the sky. Then, it dived down abruptly and drilled into Qin Fei’s body.

Bang!

The sound of an egg being shattered rang out. Qin Fei’s aura surged and he actually rushed to the second level of the Divine Emperor Realm.

At the same time, the temperature on his body reached its peak. The Vermillion Bird Stones around the passageway shattered one after another, turning into fiery red meteors that were completely devoured by his body. The Ancient Phoenix also spread its wings and let out a loud and long cry, helping him absorb the terrifying surging flames on the Vermillion Bird Stone.

As that heat subside, Qin Fei opened his eyes. He looked at the changes in his body in surprise. The surface of his body was filled with dense fire profound energy. It caused his skin to turn fiery red. However, as his thoughts changed, his skin would return to its normal color. Only when he circulated the fire profound energy would it change. His entire body was filled with surging and powerful flame power. Even when he breathed, it could produce an extremely high temperature, allowing steel to melt.

This power was only inferior to the Profound Star Qi, and it was his second strongest power.

Elder Zhang walked over and said happily, “Brother Qin, I didn’t expect that you would become a Fire Spirit Physique the moment you came into contact with Vermillion Bird Plume’s aura! I’ve traveled a hundred times, but I’ve never been able to get to the door. I’ve benefited a lot from seeing your breakthrough this time, and I’ll definitely be able to become a Fire Spirit Physique in the near future.”

Qin Fei bowed to him gratefully. If it wasn’t for this opportunity, he wouldn’t have been able to come into contact with such a miraculous change.

‘”Elder Zhang, is the Xiantian Spirit Body really a necessary condition to surpass the Divine Emperor? In other words, the cultivation direction of the Divine Emperor should be to temper the Fire Spirit Body as the most important task?” Qin Fei asked doubtfully.

“Not bad! If the Innate Spirit Body failed, the God Emperor could only stay where he was! Now that you have the Fire Spirit Body, as long as you encounter a Fire element martial artist of the same realm, you can ignore attacks and even counterattack your opponent! Elder Zhang said in detail, “Even if you encounter a Fire element God King, you can still immunize against 90% of the opponent’s attacks. As for the Divine Underworld’s attacks, you can immunize 50%. As for the Divine Emperor, he has already touched the threshold of the Innate Spirit Body. He has a very strong control over his strength, so it is impossible to immunize him!”

Immunity to attacks from experts of the same cultivation realm, even the attacks of God Kings and Divine Nether Realm experts could be partially immune. This was truly heaven-defying.

Qin Fei was confident that as long as he didn’t encounter a God Emperor, he wouldn’t be afraid of any fire type cultivator!
