Chapter 439 Rebirth from the Ashes (3)_1

The Vermilion Bird nodded, acknowledging the correctness of such a thought.
"Then I have to evolve; I want to protect those I wish to protect," Xiaohuo said resolutely.
"Are you sure you’ve thought this through?" the Vermilion Bird asked for confirmation one last time.
Xiaohuo nodded, looking in Dugu Qianye’s direction. Seeing Xiaohuo’s gaze, Dugu Qianye shouted, "Go for it!"
With a flap of her wings, the Vermilion Bird caused an image of a Vermilion Bird intersecting with flames to appear within the Evolution Light. "Step into the flames, drain the blood from your body, and then you’ll be reborn from the ashes. It’s a painful process; you must persevere," she told Xiaohuo.
"I know, and I will," Xiaohuo said. He then positioned himself in the middle of the pattern and began to release his own blood. Blood flowed out, filling the entire pattern. By the time the pattern was fully saturated, Xiaohuo was too weak to hold himself up and collapsed onto it.
"Xiaohuo!" Dugu Qianye shouted anxiously, wanting to rush in to see what was happening, but the Evolution Light barred her way. She could only shout from outside, "Xiaohuo, how are you doing? Xiaohuo, don’t scare me! Xiaohuo!"
