On the ninth floor of the Divine Fire Tower, after the wooden door opened, only when you stepped into it could you really see the crimson passage, but in the eyes of the people outside, it was pitch black.

At this time, the young man in white was looking at the pitch-black passage, his eyes flashing with light, as if he could see Yang Qi's situation at this time through the space.

Then, he smiled faintly: "Vermilion Bird Essence Blood, can you get it?"

Boom!

His body shook suddenly, and a majestic aura emanated from inside his body, as if from ancient times. But this breath only appeared for a moment, and it returned to his body.

Then, the figure of the young man in white suddenly disappeared in place.

......

In the crimson corridor, Yang Qi took a deep breath, and there was nothing else in his eyes except for the seventeen stairs behind him.

Boom!

In the second step, Yang Qi stepped down suddenly.

Rumble!

The entire space trembled suddenly, and the coercion that shrouded Yang Qi's head suddenly surged, and the scorching breath almost scorched Yang Qi.

In the third step, the moment Yang Qi's right foot stepped down, his body suddenly bent downward.

The sudden surge of oppressive force was heavier than the mountains, and his strong body was extremely uncomfortable.

Gritting his teeth, Yang Qi's legs moved.

Knock knock!

The entire space of the crimson passage was trembling, and every time Yang Qi took a step forward, the invisible coercion around him increased dramatically, and when he stepped on the seventh staircase, his body was so heavy that he couldn't move a bit, as if he had to use all his strength to even blink an eye.

Bang!

Yang Qi's heart jumped suddenly, and the power of the poisonous dragon suddenly filled his whole body, and his aura suddenly surged.

The bent body finally stood up again at this time, Yang Qi gasped lightly, there was no uncomfortable look on his face, there was only that full of anticipation.

The next moment, Yang Qi stepped out again, taking three steps upwards in succession.

Rumble!

Yang Qi landed on the tenth staircase, and from the staircase at his feet, it seemed that a violent flame suddenly rose, burning Yang Qi's body frantically. Yang Qi's face changed slightly, he knew that this was not a real flame, but the scorching aura around him was too powerful, making him feel as if he was in a sea of fire.

At this time, around Yang Qi's body, even the air seemed to turn red, and the space had been scorched and distorted.

"Thunder of Heavenly Punishment!"

Yang Qi let out a low snort, and purple light flashed in his eyes.

Then, the dark purple Heavenly Punishment Thunder burst out, beating up and down Yang Qi's body, and the terrifying aura that oppressed Yang Qi's body was suddenly dispersed after the Heavenly Punishment Thunder appeared, and Yang Qi's body was suddenly loosened.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Yang Qi's legs moved again and took a few steps in a row.

Knock knock knock!

Yang Qi's footsteps stopped, his body trembled, and he stopped at the fourteenth staircase, his eyes bloodshot.

At this time, the terrifying oppressive force that shrouded Yang Qi's body had already pressed the Thunder of Heavenly Punishment around Yang Qi's body, and it actually made the Thunder of Heavenly Punishment unable to move at all, and could only cling to Yang Qi's skin, sharing the pressure for Yang Qi in this way.

"Whew...... Whew!"

Yang Qi gasped and stood on the fourteenth staircase, trembling all over. At this time, his trembling right leg slowly lifted, and finally stepped on the fifteenth staircase.

After the fifteenth step, Yang Qi's ears were covered by a mountain collapse and tsunami, and there were infinite changes of light and shadow in front of him.

Vaguely, a crisp cry seemed to sound in Yang Qi's ears, and at the same time, a red figure seemed to appear in front of him, covered in flames, soaring in the sky, covering the sky and the sun, and flying towards him.

"Poof!"

At this moment, Yang Qi's eyes were dark, his ears were buzzing, and a mouthful of blood spurted out.

The terrifying coercion frantically oppressed his body, even penetrating through his pores, squeezing his internal organs, making him uncomfortable to the extreme.

"It's just a drop of blood, even if you are Suzaku's blood, it's just a drop of Suzaku's essence blood after death, don't stop me!"

Yang Qi's eyes lit up and he shouted angrily.

Rumble!

His eyes shone brightly, and at the same time, invisible lines appeared on the surface of his body. His aura was like a landslide, terrifying, and a devastating aura erupted from his body, colliding with the equally terrifying coercion around him.

The power of the avenue!

At this time, Yang Qi almost used all his strength.

Bang!

The entire space echoed with Yang Qi's footsteps, and after Yang Qi took the sixteenth step, the crimson space around him suddenly turned into substance, blazing and violent, like lava surging in the depths of a volcano, gurgling and scorching bubbles.

Endless pressure is pouring in from all directions, and in the face of this pressure, even a mountain will be crushed and shaken into powder. The power of the Great Dao has been urged to the extreme, frantically resisting this coercion.

Yang Qi had difficulty breathing, his steps were firm, the power of the poisonous dragon had begun to moan, fear, fear, the thunder of heavenly punishment was also bound to the surface of his skin, it was difficult to move, and even the power of the Great Dao was squeezed by the terrifying pressure, constantly shrinking his space.

At this time, the blood in Yang Qi's whole body was squeezed towards his head and the ends of his skin by this pressure, and he felt as if he was about to explode.

"Two more steps! Two more steps!"

A little darkness appeared in front of Yang Qi's eyes, his whole body seemed to be a little numb, and he muttered in a low voice.

Shi Changtian snorted: "Yang Qi, there are only two steps left!"

Yang Qi's face moved slightly, then he opened his eyes and looked forward hard. This short two-step distance is as far as a moat, and Yang Qi is even worried that as long as he takes another step forward and the pressure increases again, his body will explode.

"It's coming soon, how can I give up halfway!"

A hint of madness flashed in his eyes, Yang Qi fiercely beat the spirit, roared angrily, and slowly raised his right leg.

Boom!

In the seventeenth step, Yang Qi stepped down suddenly.

Burst!

Laugh at!

At this moment, Yang Qi suddenly spurted out a mouthful of blood, and at the same time, all over his body, among the pores, blood was directly spurted. In the blink of an eye, Yang Qi's body became covered in blood, and the clothes all over his body were dyed red.

The next moment, that terrifying pressure roared again, and at the same time, a noble aura from the ancient sky swept in the void, and a crisp howl sounded in Yang Qi's mind. As soon as this scream sounded, Yang Qi was even more like he had been hit hard, and under the huge tremor of his body, a blood mist erupted from the pores of his body. His face, which was already pale, suddenly became even paler, as if he was seriously ill.

The top of his head, forehead, cheeks, neck, chest, and abdomen were all dripping with blood, and his whole person looked like a bloody man, which was terrifying.

"No wonder, no wonder there is no defense in these ten layers of space, and the most powerful protection is the will of this Suzaku. ”

Yang Qi had long expected that the Vermilion Bird Essence Blood was not so easy to get, but what he didn't expect was that the most difficult place was the place closest to the Vermilion Bird Essence Blood.

One step, only one step away, Yang Qi was able to obtain the greatest treasure left by the Divine Fire Ancestor, the Vermilion Bird Essence Blood. However, with such a step, the distance between heaven and earth is already far away.

Yang Qi's eyes slowly closed, his mind was already chaotic, and his eyes were completely dark.

Suzaku is an ancient divine beast, the ancestor of all fires, the origin of heaven and earth fire, and one of the four spirits that master the seven houses in the south. The Vermilion Bird crisscrosses the heavens and the earth, and only the Green Dragon, the White Tiger and the Xuanwu, which are also the four spirits, can be compared, whether it is a fierce beast or a divine beast, they are all under the Vermilion Bird.

Even, whether it is a python or a Jiao or even a dragon, whether it is a fierce beast or a divine beast, it is the food of the Vermilion Bird, and everything can be eaten by Nanming when it is away from the fire.

Such a divine beast is born with a sense of arrogance and supreme dignity, its will is like the sun hanging high, and like the sun hanging in the air, it is born above all things, permeating the bone marrow and every drop of essence and blood.

Yang Qi's last step, or the eighteen stairs after stepping into this corridor, was the terrifying will of this ancient divine beast of the Vermilion Bird.

Yang Qi's body that was about to fall suddenly stopped, and he slowly opened his eyes.

Suddenly, he understood the significance of the Divine Fire Ancestor setting up this layer, these eighteen steps were not to prevent others from obtaining the Vermilion Bird Essence Blood, but to guide future generations to obtain the Essence Blood in what way.

The realm and strength are secondary, and only with a strong enough heart and a will that is compatible with the will of the Vermilion Bird can one be worthy of possessing the essence and blood of the Vermilion Bird, a heaven and earth divine thing.

The most important thing in the way of cultivation is not talent, but will, but heart.

In Yang Qi's heart, a lightning bolt slashed. Shi Changtian had said this to him before, but it was only now that he finally understood the meaning of this sentence.

"Thank you, teacher. ”

He muttered, clenched his fists, and took the final step.

Phew!

A thunderous scream pierced the void. Two wisps of blood in Yang Qi's ears exploded with a bang. But at this time, Yang Qi's body suddenly loosened, unprecedentedly relaxed, and his body seemed to float up naturally.

In a trance, Yang Qi felt that he was standing in the sky, surrounded by boundless clouds and winds.

Right in front of his eyes, a behemoth rose into the sky with the flames that burned everything in heaven and earth, its body was as fast as lightning, and in the blink of an eye, with a scream, it pierced through the clouds and the sun, and flew into the clouds.

Suzaku's will, mighty, righteous and masculine, burns all evil. Its whistling sound is more like a challenge to heaven and earth, more like a cry above this heaven and earth.

Yang Qi suddenly understood that Suzaku's will was integrated into the blood bone marrow, and that kind of will was violent and fierce, aimed at this vast world. Suzaku's will is to transcend everything, and it will never be able to cover its eyes again on this day.

Without that will to transcend the heavens, no one would be able to harness this drop of Vermilion Bird Essence Blood. Yang Qi already understood why the mysterious young man just now would give up the Vermilion Bird Essence Blood. Because, he couldn't control this drop of Vermilion Bird essence blood at all.

And Yang Qi is the most suitable candidate, because he also wants to transcend this sky, and he also wants to be above this sky.

Yang Qi instantly let go of his mind, and countless memories came flooding back.

The experiences of the past life and the present life all emerged, the unwillingness and repentance at the moment of death in the previous life, and the will to change the life against the sky in this life, turned into a majestic force and rose to the sky.

The void trembled, and Yang Qi's will suddenly merged with Suzaku's will.
