The outline of a colossal creature tore through the fiery clouds and slowly emerged!

"They're here!" Han Qing looked up abruptly, his pupils dilating in shock!

Those are a pair of...wings!?

The sky was ablaze, a shower of fire and meteors, when a pair of fiery wings pierced the sky, emerging from the burning clouds and tearing open a massive rift.

With a gentle flap of its wings, the fiery light dissipated, revealing its sacred form!

"A firebird?!?"

Han Qing looked up at the sky, his heart filled with boundless fear.

"No...impossible!!"

His eyes were bloodshot and filled with disbelief.

It's important to know that there are no strange beasts within the Central Plains, including flying ones, since the numerous anti-aircraft guns along the Central Plains' borders are not just for show!

Once a powerful flying beast is discovered entering Zhongzhou, the military and the Thunder Bureau will immediately dispatch elite Awakened Ones to drive it away or even kill it on the spot!

Under such conditions, how could such a terrifying firebird-like beast have successfully entered Zhongzhou, and of all places, just happen to appear here?!

Han Qing naturally didn't know that the firebird in front of him was the phoenix that Li Yu chose to stay on the sky island when he was recognized by the dragon vein as the tenth star lord.

It took the Phoenix several days to finally absorb all the power left in the magma by the previous tenth star lord and to stabilize itself completely before it crossed the Central Continent and descended here, following the invisible connection between itself and Li Yu!

At this moment, the phoenix was enveloped in pure white-gold flames, and every feather seemed to be forged from the most brilliant stars, shimmering with light.

Each incitement drew a huge, scorching vortex of air in the burning sky, bringing with it a rain of fire that crashed down to the earth!

The steel legion's identification system finally scanned the entire entity they were about to face the moment the phoenix fully appeared.
