Chapter 1400: Battle of the Trapped Beast (3)
“Yes,” Vermilion Bird said angrily.
“A dragon gave birth to nine sons, but none of them were dragons. Taotie is one of the nine sons. He is violent by nature and extremely greedy. Back then, he wreaked havoc everywhere and devoured humans. Your ancestor, who was my previous master, brought me with him to fight against him in order to eliminate him. In that battle, Taotie and I were evenly matched. However, he had a special ability that could devour everything and transform the power he had devoured into his own power. Did you know? When we found him, he had two high-level magical beasts with him. However, at the end of our fight, he devoured his companions and absorbed the power of two high-level magical beasts. That was how he severely injured me and escaped.” Vermilion Bird’s voice was filled with fury.
Shen Yanxiao knew that the “dragon” Vermilion Bird mentioned was not the Azure Dragon.
The Azure Dragon was a spirit beast, but the dragon Vermilion Bird referred to was the Dragon God.
It was the god of all dragons, one that belonged to the god race.
Be it the Azure Dragon or the Dragon race, their ancestors all originated from the Dragon God.
The Dragon God was an existence that surpassed legendary magical beasts and was ranked as the supreme god.
Naturally, the sons of the Dragon God were all powerful magical beasts.
“If it can fight you to a draw, then it should also be at the level of a mythical beast. But… why did you say it is a holy beast?” Shen Yanxiao could not understand. Advancing as a magical beast was harder than advancing as a human. The Azure Dragon, White Tiger, Vermilion Bird, Black Tortoise and Qilin had been at the level of a mythical beast for nearly ten thousand years, but they still could not break through and become a holy beast.
Taotie was clearly severely injured that day. Otherwise, he would not have escaped. However, how did he recover all his strength in less than a hundred years and even break through to the realm of a holy beast?
“I don’t know. The only thing I can be sure of is that even if I join hands with Azure Dragon and the rest, we are absolutely not Taotie’s opponent.” The proud and arrogant Vermilion Bird had no choice but to admit this fact.
The gap between a holy and a mythical beast was an insurmountable gap.
They had worked hard for tens of millions of years to absorb the essence of the sun and the moon, but they still could not cross that hurdle.
One could only imagine how difficult it was.
“You can’t defeat it even if you join hands?” Shen Yanxiao was thoroughly shocked.
Taotie was already so powerful, so how did the elves trap him?
“Even if the eight mythical beasts of Sun Never Sets were to attack together, they would at most perish together with it.” Vermilion Bird’s voice was filled with dejection. The opponent that he could have fought a hundred years ago had left him far behind, even his injuries had yet to fully heal.
Such a fatal blow was too terrifying for the self-confident Vermilion Bird.
“You have to be careful. Taotie has grown to a holy beast. Even if I have the heart to protect you, I’m afraid I can only stop him for a short time. If he is really going to kill you, you… you have to let that bastard out. Right now, he is the only one that can fight against Taotie.” Vermilion Bird had already made plans for the worst case scenario. If the elves could not suppress Taotie, then he would do his best to ensure Shen Yanxiao’s safety!
