Where does that wicked woman get her conscience?

Chapter 168 Bone Wings

-

The Netherworld Valley.

The entire space was eerily quiet.

Sparks swirled around every corner of the earth, occasionally flickering and leaping out to ignite a tiny flame, only to be extinguished in an instant.

The air was filled with abnormally high temperatures, and even breathing made one feel a burning pain in their nasal cavity.

It would not be an exaggeration to say that this place is a giant furnace.

Under a vast expanse of crimson, a figure sat cross-legged on the ground with his eyes closed, and above his forehead floated a dark red bead.

It was a beast core mixed with the essence and blood of an ancient fierce phoenix, and at this moment it no longer had the protection of the Undying Flame.

The Undying Flame had long been forcibly separated from her by Guan Xun and merged with her own flames.

The beast cores floated slightly up and down, constantly emitting wisps of energy that spread in all directions. Just as they were about to fly away haphazardly, they were constantly captured by the flames emerging from the immortal fire that enveloped Guan Xun's entire body.

Like a toad hunting its prey, it forcibly draws the energy ripples into the flames, silently scorching and refining them into wisps of mist.

The mist swirled around Guan Xun and then seeped into her body. As the mist entered her body, she could feel her skin opening and closing, breathing, and she felt incredibly light.

Such terrifyingly high temperatures had no effect on her whatsoever; she absorbed them very easily.

This is thanks to the precedent set by the past; otherwise, this engulfment would have been far more dangerous than the last one.

The external process involves repetitive and tedious refining. However, the internal process within Guan Xun's body is quite different.

Besides absorbing energy, she also had to take care of the two branch veins that ran along her spine.

Firewing was forced out from there. It suddenly disappeared earlier, and she figured it was because it didn't have a beast core. Now that everything is ready, it's just a matter of whether it can be reconstituted.

With a thought, Guan Xun condensed all the energy he had absorbed into his body into a ball and then slowly transferred it over.

The branch veins seemed to be breathing, opening and closing to absorb energy.

Day after day, time slips away quietly.

As the suspended beast core lost its color and slowly crumbled to the ground, the temperature of the entire space increased rather than decreased.

At this moment, the Undying Flame, having absorbed the essence of blood and the energy of the beast core, became even more turbulent. It continued to rage in all directions, causing the surrounding area to turn even more crimson.

When the last wisp of energy was absorbed by Guan Xun and pushed to the branch meridians, she was shocked to find that the two dark red branch meridians, which were originally like blood vessels, suddenly turned white.

The white color spread rapidly, covering the entire branch, and in an instant it solidified into crystal-clear bones.

Just as Guan Xun was filled with doubt and surprise, the newly formed bone showed no sign of stopping and began to grow rapidly, forcefully piercing into her flesh.

"what!"

Guan Xun suddenly opened her eyes, her whole body trembling uncontrollably from the pain. No matter how she moved, she could not stop the growth of her bones.

Her chest heaved violently, the excruciating pain almost suffocating her. She slammed her hands onto the ground, her pale face covered in beads of sweat.

My vision blurred, and I nearly fainted several times.

Even so, the bone still refused to stop growing, piercing through her skin and flesh. With a crisp cracking sound, it burst out directly from her shoulder blade!

"Ouch, that hurts so much!!"

Guan Xun's face was tightly scrunched up, and sweat dripped from his chin like a fountain, soaking the fabric of his torn clothes scattered all over the ground.

Scalding blood gushed out rapidly from the shattered blade, staining his alabaster back a horrifying crimson.

"Squeak... squeak..."

The bones continued to grow outward, branching out into many tiny branches that twisted and turned, overlapping each other, and soon formed two huge bony wings.

The moment the wing was completed, the Undying Flame rapidly spread from its base upwards, covering its tip.

With a flap of its ten-foot-wide, flame-covered wings, Guan Xun finally felt the pain that had been plaguing his entire body recede like a receding tide.

Her elbows went weak, and she collapsed to the ground, the hard stone pressing against her cheek and causing her to furrow her brow.

After catching his breath, he disregarded everything else and immediately mobilized his spiritual power to heal his physical discomfort.

"Hoo..." Guan Xun let out a long breath and shrugged. With each movement, the unsettling heaviness on her back made her feel slightly uncomfortable.

The energy from the beast core actually caused her to grow wings exactly like those of the ancient Fiery Phoenix. Unlike the wings formed from the ethereal Undying Flame, these fiery wings were actually growing on her body.

She tilted her head, looking at the wings that shimmered with flames, unable to suppress the love in her eyes.

It tried flapping its wings a few times, and its wings suddenly became incredibly powerful, producing a sound like a howling wind. Tiny dark red flames also appeared around the wings, flowing slowly around their edges.

Guan Xun could not hide his excitement. He looked up and scanned his surroundings, then grinned, lightly tiptoed, and suddenly his body floated into the air.

With a flap of its wings, it flew back and forth in the void.

After a long while, it landed steadily back on the ground.

The feeling of flying was completely different from before. It was worth enduring such pain. After flying several times, she had now completely adapted to its presence.

but……

Guan Xun looked down at his naked body, a hint of helplessness creeping across his brow.

Wings are nice, but you can't just tear her clothes every time you fly.

She stroked her chin, and with a thought, the fire wings exploded like shattered glass, disappearing into the air in the instant they silently broke into several fragments.

Startled, she quickly checked her body and breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that the veins were still there.

She focused her mind again, but the fire wings did not burst out from her shoulder blades as before. Instead, they appeared as if they had materialized out of thin air, flashing out with a "whoosh".

Hmm? Guan Xun's face showed a hint of suspicion.

She quickly put on the dress and summoned wings. Although the base of the fiery wings was connected to her back, they did not tear the dress.

"Good."

It seems that her worries have been resolved so easily.

Guan Xun fastened his belt and carefully examined his internal condition before looking around at the dark surroundings.

Trapped here, she couldn't sense what was happening outside, and even Chi Rong lost contact after the entrance closed.

Although Lingqi is a fool who is easy to fool, he is also very easy to anger.

Thinking of Chi Rong's temperament, Guan Xun felt a throbbing sensation in his temples; he knew without a doubt that it would anger the other party.

With its current strength, it would only be able to take a beating against Lingqi.

Ling Qi actually came for the beast core of the ancient Fiery Phoenix? The person who fused the beast core's essence, blood, and the Undying Flame must be her sister.

Guan Xun raised an eyebrow, and a smile involuntarily crept onto her lips as she thought about how her sister's things had become hers.

They'd probably be furious.

She took a deep breath, composed herself, and decided that her priority was to find a way out.

After a little thought, I got the hang of it.

With a flap of her wings, she hurtled towards the void.

There seems to be an entrance/exit at the place where the rightists previously detained Lin Miao. Searching around is better than waiting idly!
