The Primordial War: The Symbol Emperor

"Fellow Daoist, please respect me!" Zhuque said in shame and indignation. Wei Chen was too shameless, groping her feathers all over; she couldn't stand it.

"Of course, I'm just curious!" Wei Chen laughed, while his hand kept stroking the Vermilion Bird's feathers.

It was so magnificent, with iridescent colors swirling around it, an indescribable breathtaking beauty. Touching the Vermilion Bird's feathers felt like touching her skin, soft and smooth.

"Vermilion Bird, Vermilion Bird! I've got my eye on you! You can't escape my grasp!" Wei Chen's heart was filled with wicked thoughts.

He wants to ride the Vermilion Bird and roam freely across the primordial world; just imagine the awe-inspiring scene.

Riding upon one whose beauty is unparalleled! Whose true form is the most magnificent and splendid! The noblest primordial deity in the primordial world! The most powerful primordial deity in the primordial world! The primordial deity with the greatest power, whose word can determine the life and death of billions of beings…

How many powerful beings in the primordial world would be envious of that?

Wei Chen, driven by a wicked impulse, was determined to ride the Vermilion Bird. Ride, ride, ride—

"Stop!" Suzaku roared, filled with shame and indignation, "Don't go too far!"

Considering her noble lineage, unparalleled cultivation, and status as the patriarch of the strongest race in the primordial world.

Now that she's been reduced to being a mount, so be it. For the sake of the treasure, she'll endure it—

However, this despicable scoundrel is truly hateful.

Not content with being her mount, he actually stroked her noble, magnificent feathers. Doesn't this wretched wretch know that her noble, magnificent feathers are her skin?

And this despicable scoundrel's actions look so much like he's petting a pet!

She could barely contain her rage; she was the overlord of the primordial world. With her domineering and unparalleled world-destroying black flames, she incinerated ferocious beasts; with her cold and ruthless methods, she annihilated countless innate deities.

She is the Vermilion Bird of the Southern Wilderness, the undisputed number one overlord of the South. Countless self-proclaimed primordial deities, countless sects, races, dynasties, and alliances have been burned to ashes by her terrifying and unparalleled world-destroying black flames.

Her fierce power was so great that wherever she went, all the creatures of the south trembled in fear.

Now they're actually being used as mounts, pets...

Moreover, she had just given a stern warning, yet this scoundrel still dared to touch her.

"Screech—" The Vermilion Bird roared with fury, and with a magnificent spin, it spewed out an endless sea of ​​fire.

Wei Chen was horrified, then awestruck! The Vermilion Bird was engulfed in black flames, its multicolored light appearing auspicious and sacred against the hazy backdrop of the black flames, its radiance dazzling—

Her tail was even more stunning, with hundreds of tail fins thousands of feet long, each one colorful and dazzling.

Her tail fins spun and danced, radiating a dazzling, elegant, and beautiful light.

Wei Chen licked his lips, his heart screaming, "You're mine—"

"You insolent wretch... dare to make another move, and I will fight you to the death!" Zhuque roared angrily. Her aura exploded, and the sea of ​​fire in the Fire Realm rippled, sending out layers of fiery waves.

She was furious, wishing she could tear Wei Chen to pieces and crush him.

Wei Chen snapped out of his daze and chuckled sheepishly, "Just curious! I'm not the kind of shameless person you think I am—"

"Screech..." The Vermilion Bird cried out, ignoring this shameless scoundrel, and continued flying with its head down.

He thought fiercely, "If that wretched wretch dares to touch my noble, magnificent feathers again, I will burn him for millions of years..."

Wei Chen watched intently, but dared not make any further moves. He knew that things shouldn't be done more than three times, and he'd already been warned twice.

If he dares to make any further moves, the consequences will be absolutely dire. Given Suzaku's fiery temper, he certainly won't tolerate it.

If you dare not make any unusual moves, are you not even afraid to think about them?

Wei Chen stared intently at the Vermilion Bird's noble, magnificent, and beautiful feathers, wishing he could meld those feathers into his heart.

"You shameless, despicable scoundrel, if you dare to look again, I'll gouge your eyes out—"

Zhuque was both ashamed and furious. They were truly hateful; these scoundrels deserved to die.

Wei Chen remained silent and said, "Although I was a little rash, I had no evil intentions. This is the behavior of a righteous gentleman. Fellow Daoist Zhuque has noble blood and noble, beautiful feathers. I stroked it with love. This is the behavior of a true person."

He paused, then said, "We cultivators are not concerned with trivial matters. To insult a lowly emperor like this over such a trivial matter is surely going too far, fellow Daoist."

These words enraged Suzaku so much that... instead of smoke coming out of its seven orifices, it was emitting raging black flames.

Suzaku, unable to bear it any longer, roared in fury: "Shameless scoundrel... I'll fight you to the death!"

Zhuque shuddered, flinging Wei Chen away, and unleashed a world-destroying black flame. Its black claws, sharp and menacing, seemed ready to crush and destroy Wei Chen at any moment.

"Wait..." Wei Chen trembled and screamed in terror.

He dared not stop his movements for a moment, summoning the Primordial Measuring Ruler, and a streak of purple light swiftly fled.

"Fellow Daoist, please let me explain..." Wei Chen pleaded as he fled for his life.

"Die..." Suzaku roared. She had never seen such a shameless scoundrel before; this thief must be the king of rats. Yes, this thief calls himself "Emperor," he must be the Rat King without a doubt...

Zhuque was convinced that Weichen was a rat king.

The Vermilion Bird was filled with rage, and it made up its mind that it would teach this Rat King a lesson this time.

Wei Chen was filled with regret. If he could do it all over again, maybe, just maybe he would…

He was determined to go even further...

Perhaps this will even spark a romance.

However, despite saying that, he dared not linger for even a moment.

There was no other way; survival was the priority. Suzaku was too wild and too passionate.

He was afraid his small frame wouldn't be able to handle it.

And so they chased and fled, and several dozen days passed in the blink of an eye.

Wei Chen appeared to be running for his life, but in reality, he was searching for a way out. Only that fire lotus could save him!

He sensed that the fire lotus had developed sentience and was hiding in the fire realm, constantly changing its location.

This fire lotus is an anomaly in the primordial world, completely unknown to anyone.

Wei Chen didn't know either, until he took the Southern Flame Banner and his innate talisman detected a trace of Huo Lian's aura.

After returning home and repeatedly calculating, I finally obtained information about the Fire Lotus.

This sea of ​​fire was formed from a piece of chaotic fire crystal.

The Southern Flame Banner is said to have been transformed from the leaves of the thirty-six-petaled blue lotus of chaos.

The Fire Lotus is a new Fire Lotus formed by combining the Southern Flame Light Banner with the Chaos Fire Source Crystal.

The two origins were too powerful, and the Fire Lotus itself was an anomaly. Therefore, although the Fire Lotus developed sentience, it could not take human form.

Even if it were to take human form one day, the Heavenly Tribulation would surely destroy it.
