--- Chapter 290 ---
One of Three Supreme Fire-Attributed Beasts, the Sun Bird.
Golden Crow.
Watching the reddish-golden eyes in the sky, Yu Long couldn't help but recall his experience with Phoenix (Yuyan) and Primordial Dragon God (Zilong).
Many years have passed, and it feels nostalgic.
Yu Long calmly gazed at the eyes and thought, Although the Golden Crow only had her residual soul left like Yuyan and Zilong, her living conditions were much better than theirs. I can feel her spirituality is much more complete, too.'
'At the very least... I don't feel any sense of weakness from this Golden Crow.'
Huan Caiyi was stunned by the Golden Crow's arrival. Even though she has ruled the Illusory Demon Realm for over a century, she has never entered the Golden Crow's Trials.She only knew about its existence from the Demon Emperor's notes and ancestral records.
So, when the majestic and arrogant voice questioned Huan Caiyi, she instinctively stammered and answered, "Yes! Yes, I am!"
"My name is Huan Caiyi, the current Matriarch of the Huan Clan."
"Hmm... Your Huan Clan is still as pathetic as I remember." The reddish-golden eyes squinted. "After all these years, I thought some of you would reach the Divine Origin Realm with this queen's gift."
"But it seemed I was hoping too much."
"A thousand years have passed, and the matriarch isn't even at the peak of the Sovereign Profound Realm."
"Rubbish!"
Huan Caiyi clenched her hand hard upon hearing this ridicule. She wanted to lash back but had no answer because the Golden Crow was right.

It was irrefutable. Huan Caiyi's cultivation base is only at the 8th Stage of Sovereign Profound Realm. That's a high cultivation base for a person of her stature but not enough in the Golden Crow's eyes.
"Do you think that cultivation base is everything?" A calm voice questioned the Golden Crow back. "As the primordial existence, you should know every fine detail of oneself could change the outcome."
"Your bloodline is strong. Very strong, but what Caiyi had in her veins was only an impure version."
"So, in short... The cultivation base Huan Caiyi revealed and achieved from her hard-earned effort, with no attachment to your bloodline!"
"Nonsense! How dare you question this queen?" The Golden Crow sounds angered. "Who are you, but a mortal with a limited lifespan!"
Yu Long chuckled, "You shouldn't be the one saying that when you're just a mere Soul Residual. This place might have restored your soul, but you're not the real Golden Crow."
"Like how the Phoenix and Primordial Dragon God in another continent."
"How did you know about that damned bird and Azure Dragon?!" The Golden Crow questioned, causing the surrounding lava to tremble.
Yu Long shrugged, "I have no obligation to answer that. When you mock my cute fiancee, I can't help but question your logic."
The Golden Crow harrumphed, "I simply stated the truth. Also, that lass's bloodline is as pure as her ancestor's bloodline, which was a gift from mine."
"As I said... That was her own effort. Caiyi possessed Immortal Physique that cleansed her bloodline." Yu Long sighed in helplessness at this bird's stubborn nature.
"Immortal Physique? How can that be?!" The Golden Crow couldn't believe Yu Long's words.
Huan Caiyi adjusted her breath and looked up bravely. An extreme vitality burst from her body, shining the Golden Crow's Trial Grounds with evergreen light.
"Such vitality..."
"This is the Evergreen Immortal Physique!"
"Such compatibility with the sunfire of mine! How is that even possible?"
The Golden Crow was stunned, silly. She has witnessed and fought many people with Immortal Physique in the Primordial Era of Gods, but none has achieved such 'successful' integration as Huan Caiyi.
Of course, the Golden Crow didn't know Huan Caiyi's integration came from consuming Evergreen Tree's Dew and Elemental Spirit's core. Her Immortal Physique isn't only about vitality. It also has a trace of Cosmic Wind.
Cosmic Wind and Primordial Fire of Golden Crow.
They are highly compatible with each other.
"Like I said, a cultivation base isn't everything." Yu Long gave the Golden Crow's eyes a mocking look. "Your mindset on things is narrow and uncreative."
"No wonder the Primordial Era of Gods ended up like that."
"Mortal brat, I admitted that my judgment was a bit wrong, but mocking this queen has heavy consequences. Experience the hellish heat of the sun!" The Golden Crow sent a fireball down to Yu Long.
The fireball is pure golden, burning brightly like the sun itself.
Yu Long indifferently let the fireball hit him.
BAM!
The Golden Crow's laughter echoed in the Trial Grounds before stopping in disbelief. "Haha, admit your mistake, and this queen will release you from tortu-! Huh??"
Yu Long walked out of the fire unscathed. He yawned, "You're unbearably naive. You think a mere clump of profound energy and heat will make me afraid?"
"You didn't even use your true Golden Crow's Divine Flame."
The Golden Crow's reddish-golden eyes squinted even more. 'This mortal brat. What's wrong with him? Why can't I sense anything special from him?'
'Yet this uneasiness...'
'Why I felt like I was small prey before an absolute predator...'
After the Golden Crow became quiet, Yu Long's lips curled into a smile.
Yu Long chuckled inwardly, 'There are many things you didn't know outside the Primal Chaos Dimension, Golden Crow.'
'The Primordial Chaos Dimension is big. It's so big that I'm afraid I'd get tired of it if I tried to explore it. However, there are also infinite universes with unique origins and laws outside.'
A few minutes later, the Golden Crow's voice echoed again.
"Lass, you're coming here to get Golden Crow's Legacy, right?"
Huan Caiyi nodded, "That's right."
"Then, you shall experience my trials. If you succeed, you may become True Inheritor, gaining ten drops of Golden Crow's True Blood and the Record of Burning World!" The Golden Crow continued.
"Do you dare to experience hell, lass?"
Huan Caiyi glanced at Yu Long and saw him smiling at her. She felt confident seeing that radiant smile and replied, "Yes!"
"Good." With that, the Golden Crow made Huan Caiyi enter the Trial Grounds and left Yu Long alone with her.
"Now that the distraction is gone..."
"Tell me who you are, Mortal! You couldn't possibly be an ordinary brat from nowhere!"
Yu Long laughed, "Haha, such a trickery. The Golden Crow is petty, after all."
"Hmph..." The Golden Crow snorted. "This queen didn't want her good inheritor to get caught in a fight. Also, she might not want to become my inheritor if I injure you by accident."
"Tell me who you are, or receive my full force of the sun!" A roaring sound appeared, revealing nine golden suns in the sky.
Before them, Yu Long felt intense heat that put the Phoenix's Flame to shame in the destructive department.
Yu Long's golden eyes glimmered with fascination. He got enamored with new wonders in this world fast, a quirk he developed after researching Profound Patterns, Aspects, and Manifestations for too long.
He didn't see the nine golden suns but the profundity behind them. In his vision, they had turned into countless kaleidoscope patterns.
"Well..." Yu Long smiled at the Golden Crow's eyes.
"Who am I?"
"I'm the King of Monsters!"
BOOM!
A dreadful aura exploded from Yu Long's body, changing the lava-filled world into a battlefield of carnage. The image of a thousand claws, jaws with razor-sharp teeth, colorful scales, hides, and many different wings appeared behind Yu Long.
At last, countless "Golden Eyes" with dark-red pupils of various sizes appeared, covering the ground, air, and starry skies.
"!!!" The Golden Crow sucked a cold breath. What kind of frightening creature is this?
Not even Devil Races is this scary?
Although the Golden Crow is many times bigger than Yu Long's stature, she feels small and weak, like an ant before a bright star.
