Chapter 730: The Fourth Tail Feather

The sudden changes caused the Dragon Horse to panic. The appearance of the three divine birds was enough to suppress its power, rendering it unable to retaliate. If the Dragon Horse encountered a member of the Demon Clan it would take it head-on. However, the three divine birds were the Heaven and Earth Divine Beasts, the strongest existences in the Demon Realm.

The situation had been turned around. All the human ancient martial art practitioners were stunned. Initially, everyone had lost hope. But now, hope seemed to be emerging in front of their eyes. The mighty Dragon Horse had been injured, its Ancestral Demon Sacred Spirit crumbling. What was even more invigorating was witnessing the three divine birds. Their existences were like a heavenly force, giving great hope to all the human ancient martial art practitioners.

They were the divine birds. Their existences were akin to that of the Primeval Divine Dragon.

“The Heavenly Fire Phoenix.” Nangong Mingzhu’s eyes narrowed. Her gaze was fixated on the three gigantic divine birds in the sky. She did not recognize the other two divine birds; however, the Heavenly Fire Phoenix was too famous. It was likely that all ancient martial art practitioners would recognize it, let alone an immortal cultivator such as her.

In Ancient Hua Xia, there had always been a belief that the dragon and the phoenix brought prosperity. The people in Ancient Hua Xia regarded the dragon and the phoenix as auspicious beings. They had high opinions of these two divine beasts.

In reality, this sort of belief was not without basis. The Primeval Divine Dragon and the Heavenly Fire Phoenix were renowned existences in the Demon Realm. They indeed had some auspicious power. The legendary Azure Dragon and Vermillion Bird of the Heaven and Earth Four Spirits were from the Divine Dragon Clan and the Phoenix Clan. They both were inextricably connected with the two clans.

There were quite a few divine beasts in the world, and there was no shortage of strong beasts. However, the dragon and the phoenix had such high standing among humans was not just because they had auspicious power and could change the luck of a nation. More importantly, in ancient times, the two clans had friendly relations with humans. They had helped humans many times, unlike other divine beasts that liked to kill and invade. Hence, the dragon and phoenix had a good reputation among humans that continued to this day.

Nangong Mingzhu had also not expected that Mo Wen could actually summon such existences. They were akin to deities. Although they were just avatars, they were still rather terrifying.

Pei Fengwu’s clenched fist relaxed slightly. The corners of her mouth curved into a smile. As expected, it was still Mo Wen that was constantly creating miracles. With him around, maybe the situation was not as terrible as they imagined. She managed to relax quite a bit.

However, Mo Wen had just taken a breather when he very quickly felt awkward. He discovered that he could not form any connections with the three tail feathers in the air, let alone order the three divine birds to deal with the Dragon Horse.

After crushing the Primeval Flaming Dragon Ancestral Demon Sacred Spirit, the three illusionary divine birds had gradually dissipated, reverting back to tail feathers. Upon seeing this, Mo Wen was alarmed. Could it be that the tail feathers were only activated passively and would not help him face the Dragon Horse? The prospect made Mo Wen nervous.

He had hoped that the three divine birds would defeat the Dragon Horse for him. However, such hopes were evidently useless, because the three tail feathers did not even respond to him.

The divine birds gradually dissipated. The expressions of the human ancient martial art practitioners turned serious once again. All of them were tense. Initially, they thought that the divine birds would defeat the Dragon Horse. However, judging from the current situation, it seemed like they had guessed wrongly.

Nangong Mingzhu frowned, but her expression relaxed after a moment. Nobody would know the final result until the very end. For example, who would have thought of the sudden change just now aside from Mo Wen? In her mind, Mo Wen became more and more mysterious. However, Nangong Mingzhu did not know that Mo Wen was merely winging it. It was not a power he had control over.

The three divine birds, which the humans had pinned their high hopes on, eventually dissipated completely. Everyone was once again rocked by anxiousness. Fear and worry once again spread among all the human ancient martial art practitioners.

“I believe in him.” A staunch look flashed in Pei Fengwu’s eyes, her self-indulgent emotions disappearing altogether. At this moment, she did not need to think too much about how powerful the Dragon Horse was or how slim their chances of victory were. She only believed in past experience: the experiences that Mo Wen had always given her.

Mo Wen looked at the three tail feathers that had reverted back into their original form. He laughed bitterly inside, completely unable to do anything. He did not know what had happened to the three tail feathers.

The Dragon Horse, on the other hand, was still nervous. It stared intently at the three tail feathers. Although the aura of the divine birds had disappeared and the Dragon Horse was largely relieved, a strong sense of uneasiness inexplicably welled up in its heart.

As someone with a pure Dragon Clan bloodline, the Dragon Horse’s senses had always been sharp. Perhaps something bad was about to happen.

The three tail feathers did not return into Mo Wen’s body. Instead, they gathered together, constantly twirling. Gold, light-blue and dark-green light fused together and became a three colored swirl.

“Huh?” Mo Wen stared at the three tail feathers in surprise. He could clearly sense that the three tail feathers were very excited. It was as though they were happy about something. They quivered slightly, constantly chirping softly. Only Mo Wen could sense their emotions. But why were the three tail feathers so excited?

A formless wave with the three tail feathers as the center instantly enveloped the Dragon Horse’s body. The next moment, the Dragon Horse felt a terrifying suction force descend from the heavens. It could not withstand the power at all and also discovered that its strength had no intention of resisting the incursion. Instead, it seemed to be very excited, welcoming the power and showing no intention of hindering it.

“How is it possible?” Right now, the Dragon Horse was stunned. It felt its own power being drained and finally began to panic. The spiritual fire dragon lance in its hand suddenly faded, disappearing bit by bit. The Dragon Horse’s spiritual aura also disappeared slowly, and its power plummeted, almost halving in a few breathes.

“The spiritual fire!” the Dragon Horse exclaimed, realizing that the spiritual fire was being stripped away from its body bit by bit. Clouds of golden light flowed out of the Dragon Horse’s body. Then, the golden light gathered and formed a mass of golden flame. The golden flame contained an unparalleled spiritual aura. As soon as it appeared, it constantly attracted all the spiritual energy in the heavens and earth, gathering all energy towards it. The golden flame was none other than the spiritual fire.

After the spiritual fire was detached from the Dragon Horse’s body, it let out an excited cry. Even Mo Wen could sense its excitement and longing. As soon as it appeared, it flew towards the three tail feathers in the sky without hesitation. The three tail feathers shook slightly, merging with the spiritual fire and forming a mass of light with four colors.

The Dragon Horse looked at the four masses of light in the sky in confusion. What was happening? It had tried all sorts of methods in order to keep the spiritual fire. After a thousand years, the spiritual fire had developed an attachment to the Dragon Horse. Why would the spiritual fire leave so decisively?

The Dragon Horse looked at the three tail feathers in disbelief. No matter how it tried to summon the spiritual fire, it did not heed the call.

Mo Wen also looked at the four colored masses of light in the sky in astonishment. He had never expected that such a thing would happen. The three tail feathers had actually taken the spiritual fire from the Dragon Horse’s body.

The reason the Dragon Horse was so powerful and almost invincible was largely due to the spiritual fire. Not only did the spiritual fire directly increase power, but because it was an essence coalesced from the heavens and the earth, it could also ceaselessly coalesce spiritual energy. The spiritual energy could flow into the Dragon Horse’s body and increase its recovery speed, almost as though it had Recovery Lights.

Now that the spiritual fire had left the Dragon Horse, its power was reduced by more than sixty percent.

Ding!

There was a soft ring, and something that Mo Wen had never imagined occurred. From within the spiritual fire, a beam of white light quietly flew out. In the white light was actually another tail feather.

“That’s…” Mo Wen was shocked. The fourth tail feather! The fourth tail feather had actually appeared. Moreover, when he looked at the white tail feather, he felt a sense of familiarity well up in his heart. He had never seen the tail feather before, yet it was so familiar to him. Could it be?

Mo Wen’s heart leaped, and he instantly thought of a possibility. The white tail feather was most likely one of the tail feathers from the Seven Star Heavenly Fire Fan. It belonged to the legendary Star Emperor.

“So that’s what it is!” That explained everything. The spiritual fire was an essence coalesced from the heavens and the earth. It originally would not appear in a small mystery dimension such as the Green Ancient Mystery Dimension. Once it appeared, it would clearly be abnormal and certainly be related to some treasure that could alter the rules of heaven and earth.

Before this, Mo Wen had guessed that the appearance of the spiritual fire might have followed some bizarre treasure. Now, he understood everything. The reason the spiritual fire had appeared in the Fire Domain was most likely related to the fourth tail feather of the Seven Star Heavenly Fire Fan. Or rather it should be said that the fourth tail feather of the Seven Star Heavenly Fire Fan gave birth to the spiritual fire.

If that was so, it would explain why the three tail feathers had made the spiritual fire leave the Dragon Horse’s body. The seven tail feathers of the Seven Star Heavenly Fire Fan were originally from the same source. Since the spiritual fire was birthed from the fourth tail feather, it certainly would be able to sense its deeply connected origin aura from the three tail feathers. It felt as though it had encountered its parents and siblings.

The Dragon Horse looked at the fourth tail feather that had appeared and sighed gently. Everything was now clear. The spiritual fire had accompanied the Dragon Horse for a thousand years, yet it had never realized that there was a white tail feather hidden in the spiritual fire. Only now had the Dragon Horse discovered this. The white tail feather obviously had an everlasting relationship with the three tail feathers possessed by the human youth.

“So that’s what it is.” The Dragon Horse laughed bitterly. It felt hard done by not only because it knew the secret and origin of the spiritual fire, but also because it was no obvious that the Tower Spirit would not let the Dragon Horse win so easily. It did not fit the rules of this game of death.

All the while, the other Fire Domain’s Beast Kings had believed that the Tower Spirit leaned towards their side. It gave them absolute power which was enough to defeat all the human ancient martial art practitioners. However, judging from the current situation, most likely the side which the Tower Spirit leaned towards was actually…

Remembering the six fallen companions, sadness welled up in the Dragon Horse’s heart. “I will not admit defeat. Even if I am just a pawn of yours, I will not let everything go as you intend.” The Dragon Horse clenched its fist tightly. Its eyes burned with a raging fire. Even without the spiritual fire, it could still fight.

The four tail feathers gathered together end to end. With a slight tremble, they disappeared from their original spot. The next moment, they had already appeared above Mo Wen, directly entering his forehead. A terrifying power frenziedly surged into his body.
