Divine War Pill Emperor

Lord Wen’s Fire Sparrow Seal had fallen under Jiang Chen’s control.

Jiang Chen had naturally been confident when he challenged Lord Wen. The Fire Sparrow Kingdom’s Fire Sparrow Seal contained his Spiritual Qi, which effectively made him its true master.

Not only was this Divine Technique incapable of harming its master, Jiang Chen, but it would even protect him.

Now, Jiang Chen had taken direct control of the Fire Sparrow Seal, turning it against its wielder.

That was why, when facing the Fire Sparrow Seal, Jiang Chen could counter his opponent without even lifting a finger.

Jiang Chen even had a faint inkling as to how his own Fire Sparrow Seal had ended up in the Fire Sparrow Kingdom.

"How could this be? How could this be happening?"

Lord Wen watched as the Fire Sparrow conjured by his Fire Sparrow Seal suddenly turned and flew back toward him.

It was seething with killing intent, its eyes filled with endless hostility directed at him.

’But this is my Divine Technique.’

’Why is it filled with hostility toward me?’

His heart was filled with profound confusion.

But the Fire Sparrow was already hurtling toward him at incredible speed, wreathed in Flame Power.

It threatened to incinerate everything in its path.

He panicked.

He hastily cast the Fire Sparrow Seal again, trying to control the phantom Fire Sparrow. But no matter what he tried, he couldn’t regain control of the creature.

Faced with this situation, even with his Cultivation at the Peak of Martial Arts Nine Heavens, Lord Wen was utterly dumbfounded and frantic.

Since he couldn’t control the Fire Sparrow, all he could do was brace for the backlash.

The very Divine Technique he had unleashed was now turning on him.

"No!"

He let out a single cry of alarm.

Then, with a deafening ROAR,

the Fire Sparrow slammed into Lord Wen, burrowing directly into his body.

Lord Wen was sent flying.

He was sent flying by the backlash from his very own Divine Technique.

It was just that bizarre.

Master Yuan Hui, Wen Shixuan, and Wen Shixi were all frozen in place, completely unable to process what had just happened.

’Why?’ they screamed inwardly, desperate for an answer.

"A backlash... this is a backlash from the Fire Sparrow Seal."

"How could this happen? How could the Fire Sparrow Seal suddenly turn on its master?"

After all, Master Yuan Hui was worldly and experienced, so he could discern a few clues from the chaos.

But what he discerned only shocked him even more.

The Fire Sparrow Seal was the guardian Divine Technique of the Fire Sparrow Kingdom. Generally speaking, even experts at the same Cultivation level would be defeated by it.

He knew very well how powerful the Fire Sparrow Seal was.

So for the Fire Sparrow Seal to now turn on its wielder filled Master Yuan Hui with confusion and dread.

For any Martial Cultivator, suffering a backlash from one’s own technique was a terrifying fate.

In the best-case scenario, one would be severely injured. In the worst, one would die.

"Sovereign!"

He was the first to react, rushing over in an instant.

He caught Lord Wen just before he hit the ground.

But Lord Wen’s body was scorching hot, like a piece of burning iron.

He coughed up mouthful after mouthful of fresh blood.

Clearly, Lord Wen was gravely injured. The backlash from the Fire Sparrow Seal was incredibly severe.

As for Wen Shixuan and Wen Shixi, they were both at a complete loss.

Their powerful father had been defeated by Jiang Chen, and Jiang Chen hadn’t even lifted a finger.

This was too terrifying.

It wasn’t until Lord Wen struggled back to his feet, pale-faced, that the silence broke. He waved a hand, pushing Master Yuan Hui away.

He looked at Jiang Chen, his face a mask of shock and uncertainty.

"Jiang Chen, what trick did you use to make the Fire Sparrow Kingdom’s own Fire Sparrow Seal turn against me?"

"You must be behind this."

Lord Wen had a moment of clarity. It was all because of Jiang Chen.

Jiang Chen had made the Fire Sparrow stop and then turn back on him. He refused to believe Jiang Chen hadn’t been pulling the strings.

Of course, what he truly couldn’t comprehend was how Jiang Chen could possibly make the Fire Sparrow Seal turn on its master.

Jiang Chen said coolly, "What if I told you I can control the Fire Sparrow Seal? Would you believe me?"

Lord Wen was torn between belief and disbelief.

Though his face was pale and his injuries were severe, he took another step forward.

The aura around him surged once more.

"I don’t believe your lies. Let me test you again."

With that, he charged at Jiang Chen again. He had to be certain if Jiang Chen was responsible, so he attacked without hesitation.

Jiang Chen felt Lord Wen’s powerful aura.

His expression flickered. Even after suffering that backlash, Lord Wen hadn’t fallen.

It showed just how formidable Lord Wen truly was.

In an instant, Jiang Chen suddenly let out a low shout.

"Vermilion Bird Seal."

As Jiang Chen spoke, a beam of red light shot out from above his head.

This red light immediately transformed into a bird wreathed in flames.

Vermilion Bird. That’s right, the Vermilion Bird Divine Beast.

This was merely a phantom of the Vermilion Bird, carrying its will, which Jiang Chen had materialized by Visualizing the Vermilion Bird Divine Beast.

But the moment the Vermilion Bird Divine Beast appeared, the very sky and earth seemed to shift.

At that moment, Lord Wen stopped dead in his tracks, his entire body wracked by a violent tremor.

He stared at Jiang Chen in utter disbelief.

"Is this... is this the Fire Sparrow Seal?"

"No, this isn’t the Fire Sparrow Seal. This seems to be the legendary Vermilion Bird."

He looked in shock at the Vermilion Bird flying up into the sky from above Jiang Chen’s head.

His mind reeled.

He had never been so shocked in his life.

It was because that was a Vermilion Bird, not a mere Fire Sparrow.

The Vermilion Bird was the Divine Beast that guarded the South, a terrifying existence beyond all others.

Of course, people doubted whether the Vermilion Bird Divine Beast truly existed in this world.

But the Firebird that had flown from Jiang Chen’s body now was clearly no Fire Sparrow.

At the same instant the Vermilion Bird Divine Beast appeared, Lord Wen felt the Fire Sparrow Seal within him begin to tremble violently. It felt as if it wanted to burst from his body and submit to Jiang Chen’s Divine Beast.

The realization terrified him.

His face became even paler.

Even Wen Shixuan and Wen Shixi, who also practiced the Fire Sparrow Seal, felt the seal stirring restlessly within them. It seemed to want to transform into a Fire Sparrow and fly right out of their bodies.

If the Fire Sparrow Seal disappeared, their entire Cultivation would vanish along with it.

It was too frightening. Wen Shixuan and Wen Shixi, their faces ashen with terror, stumbled backward, not daring to face Jiang Chen’s overwhelming presence.

Even Master Yuan Hui’s expression changed drastically.

However, since he did not practice the Fire Sparrow Seal, the feeling wasn’t as intense for him. Nevertheless, the sheer majesty of the Vermilion Bird Divine Beast still made him feel a faint urge to bow in worship.

’What a terrifying Firebird... Can this really be the Vermilion Bird Divine Beast?’

Compared to the Vermilion Bird Divine Beast, the Fire Sparrow was nothing.

He glanced back at Lord Wen, Wen Shixuan, and Wen Shixi. It was obvious. They all practiced the Fire Sparrow Seal, and every one of them was now struggling to suppress the restless seal within them.

’Damn it, this kid isn’t just bizarre, he’s terrifying.’

Huo Wu, Cao Yang, and the others were already dumbstruck.

They truly realized that Jiang Chen was even more terrifying than they had imagined.

To summon a Vermilion Bird from his very body... what an unparalleled display of power!

And the Vermilion Bird Seal instantly suppressed the Wen Family’s Fire Sparrow Seal.

It suppressed them to the point they didn’t even dare to think of using their own Fire Sparrow Seal.

This was absolute suppression, a suppression of hierarchy.

"This is the true Vermilion Bird Seal."

A look of pride spread across Jiang Chen’s face. As the Vermilion Bird danced in the air, he was now a god in the Fire Sparrow Kingdom.
