Chapter 883: Qilin
“Human, you. . . ”
*Slish! *
The Divine Infant Sword elongated to a hundred zhang, terrifying Six Paths Demonic Flames burning upon it, as it cleaved a Wind Qilin in two.
*Thud! *
The enormous Qilin head crashed down, and the vicinity seemed to experience a small earthquake.
A large amount of demonic blood flowed freely, staining the ground; this place was surely destined to become a treasure land.
After all, this was the blood of a seventh-rank demon!
Upon seeing this scene, Feng Yingyue's face remained expressionless; she was clearly already numb.
The demons who remained behind could be said to have suffered utterly; not only were their clan's treasured artifacts seized, but many, unable to swallow their indignation, pursued them, only to become materials in Daoist Mu's hands. . .
By now, fewer and fewer demons even dared to give chase.
This seventh-rank Qilin was a rare thick-headed sort, relying on its profound cultivation, astonishing escape techniques, and a strange treasure for protection, it had pursued them. . . yet the outcome was no different from before.
“It's time to leave. . . ”
Fang Xi placed the Wind Qilin's corpse into the carriage, letting out a sigh. “What I've done now has already surpassed the Demon Race's limits. . . If I continue, there might be True Spirit-level existences specifically targeting me. . . ”
“Understood! ”
Hearing this, Feng Yingyue also let out a significant sigh of relief; it was rare that Daoist Mu hadn't lost his mind.
“Then where do we go next? Back to the human race from Three Realms Mountain? ” Feng Yingyue asked respectfully.
Fang Xi looked at her in surprise, shaking his head. “Why return to the human race? Why not go to the alien race first. . . ? Although the super teleportation array is heavily guarded, it shouldn't be able to stop me. . . ”
The Jiuchi race was located in the deepest parts of the wilderness, far removed from the human, Demon, and devil races, with countless perilous death zones lying between them.
Back then, those fleeing alien races also lost an unknown number of cultivators before, in an accidental deep migration, they managed to connect with the Jiuchi race.
Now, the alien alliance and the Demon Race relied entirely on the super teleportation array for communication.
Fang Xi actually quite wanted to go and explore the alien alliance and the Jiuchi race's territory.
Within the alien alliance, there were definitely many good things, perhaps even more abundant than on Trapped Sky Island.
As for the Jiuchi race, they were even more extraordinary, a super-large clan almost on par with the human, Demon, and devil races, lacking no Mahayana opportunities.
Currently, the Mahayana-level resources he possessed were only a single portion of 'Five Elements Immortal Water', which was truly too scarce.
Such excellent resources, even if Fang Xi himself couldn't use them, would be perfect for artifact refinement, exchange, or even cultivating subordinates in the future.
“Breaching the super teleportation array? ! ”
Even though Feng Yingyue had already witnessed Fang Xi's audacity, she was still shocked by his daring spirit. “Even if you succeed, Senior, aren't you afraid of being stranded in a foreign land and never being able to return to the human race? ”
“Hehe. . . For the sake of the Great Dao, I do not fear even life and death, let alone mere wandering? ”
Fang Xi stood with his hands behind his back, a faint smile curving at the corner of his lips beneath his mask.
Did they truly think the All-Heavens Precious Mirror was a mere trifle?
Not to mention the Jiuchi race's territory, the Demon Race and the devil race had long become his domain. He had set up an unknown number of void coordinates, allowing him to come and go as he pleased.
With a single thought, he waved his hand.
From the remains of the Wind Qilin's corpse, a ray of light flickered, transforming into a green ball of light.
Within the ball of light was a fist-sized green Qilin, rushing left and right in sheer panic, yet utterly unable to break through the green ball of light.
“The essence soul of a seventh-rank Wind Qilin! ? ”
Seeing this scene, Feng Yingyue felt an indescribable envy.
She possessed a Heaven-grade wind spirit root; even a single drop of blood or a scale from this Wind Qilin's body was a rare treasure to her, let alone its inner core and soul.
Fang Xi, however, felt no pity. Black light flickered explosively in his eyes as strands of Demonic Dao Secret Insight pierced into the soul, and he brazenly began soul-searching.
Seeing this scene, Feng Yingyue felt as if a basin of cold water had been poured over her from head to toe.
During these days, she had often seen Daoist Mu soul-searching the souls of Integration-stage demon cultivators, interrogating them for information, and thereby evading many pursuits and traps.
More crucially. . . these demon cultivators must have all cultivated Divine Consciousness techniques, and even possessed Divine Sense restrictions, capable of forging false memories to deceive.
Yet none of them could escape Daoist Mu's perception, enough to prove that his attainments in the art of soul-searching were simply terrifying!
If the Grand Elder had not agreed back then, the Feng family would likely have been utterly unable to bear such consequences, and their ultimate treasure would still have changed hands in the end.
“Perhaps. . . the matter of going to the alien race will have to be postponed for now. ”
A long while later, Fang Xi let out a long breath, and with a flash of black light in his eyes, he spoke.
Hearing this, Feng Yingyue's heart stirred, knowing that something had changed.
“Latest news: the Demon Race and high-level alien cultivators are preparing to act, to forcefully attack the devil race's 'Heavenly Demon Plain'. . . ”
Fang Xi's expression carried a hint of gravity.
This Five Elements Lin Clan member was not only seventh-rank but also a king among the Demon Race, thus possessing more secret information.
“This time. . . the Mahayana cultivators of the Jiuchi race will all take action. . . Not only that, they even persuaded a reclusive True Spirit of the Five Elements Lin Clan. . . ”
This True Spirit of the Five Elements Lin Clan had a relatively close blood relationship with this Wind Qilin, which was why this Wind Qilin knew some of the situation.
“Five Elements Lin Clan. . . True Spirit existence. . . ”Feng Yingyue felt suffocated.
After all, just one Integration-stage cultivator was enough to make it difficult for her to resist.
As for those even higher, Mahayana Loose Immortal-level figures, they were all peak existences in the Earthly Immortal World, often bearing the destiny of their race and capable of determining a race's rise or fall!
“Truly a world-shaking battle. . . I will send word to the human race, and our human Mahayana cultivators should also go to support; it's just that I don't know what the outcome will be? ”
Fang Xi sighed with emotion.
If he wanted to return to the human race, he only needed a single thought.
Unlike before, when he traveled at a leisurely pace, slowly riding a flying artifact with Feng Yingyue to the Demon Race, he would instead use the All-Heavens Precious Mirror, arriving instantly with a single thought!
‘Speaking of which, this woman's cultivation is low. . . as long as she is kept within the Grotto-heaven of the bronze carriage, she won't be able to sense anything at all. . . ’
‘Then I'll directly teleport back to the human race, and tell her that I returned by hurrying back through some hidden ancient teleportation array — it'll be simply seamless. . . ’
‘Then, I'll also have to go and see the devil race. . . ’
Fang Xi's expression was very solemn.
The war between the four races had been waged for so many years, and each race had already deployed all its elites.
This battle for the devil race should force out the true foundations and powerful experts of several races!
‘Perfect. . . I can test the depths of the four races' waters. . . ’
Fang Xi's eyes were dark, carrying a hint of anticipation.
His main body was about to break through to Mahayana, and the relative strength of the Demon, devil, and alien races would influence his main body's course of action thereafter.
...
At the very moment the Wind Qilin perished.
On the distant Demon Race battlefield.
A colossal demon beast, its body like a mountain, with a deer's body and dragon scales, horns on its head, and surrounded by five-colored radiance, suddenly let out an earth-shattering roar.
“Brother Lin, why are you so angry? ”
The void shattered, as a True Spirit Phoenix and a Black Tortoise appeared with a rumble.
“One of my close descendants. . . their Blood Soul Token has shattered! ”
The Five Elements Qilin roared.
When a Five Elements Lin Clan member achieves a True Spirit body, they become the legendary 'Five Elements Qilin'!
It embodied the Five Elements and was a celestial auspicious beast. In terms of strength, even if Five Elements Child broke through to Mahayana, he would likely be far from a match.
Not to mention, this Five Elements Qilin possessed an exceptionally long lifespan and had previously focused solely on secluded cultivation, now having reached the seventh-tribulation Mahayana level!
“Could it be. . . that little human thief who recently appeared within our territory? ! ”
The Phoenix's beautiful eyes flickered, and a trace of hatred similarly flashed within them.
Fang Xi had caused a great stir in the Phoenix clan's main camp, indeed killing many of its descendants.
“Damn it. . . ”
After roaring, the Five Elements Qilin instead calmed down first. “Rest assured, this old one has his own plans. This fellow is but a minor affliction; the current great war is what matters most. . . ”
“Precisely,” the Black Tortoise rumbled. “Once we thoroughly defeat the Demon Race. . . and only the human race is left to stand alone, they are bound to be annihilated. . . By then, a mere Integration-stage human will surely be killed! ”
The Black Tortoise rumbled, “We can even directly send a message to Qingxu: if they don't want us to wipe out the mortals, they must hand over that little thief! ”
It exchanged a glance with the Phoenix, then said, “Brother Lin. . . what does the Jiuchi race say about this? ”
“Hmph,” the Five Elements Qilin stated. “This old one will personally take action, and 'Di Ling', 'Di Zun', 'Di Shi', 'Di Jiang'. . . will naturally go all out, and won't be stingy with Immortal Abode Rare Treasures. . . Furthermore, two Mahayana cultivators from the Moon-gazing Clan and the Stone Clan within the alien alliance have also been conscripted. ”
The Five Elements Qilin said, “By then, this old one will deal with that old demon. . . even if the human race comes with all their might to reinforce, you can still hold the advantage. ”
The devil race's foundations had basically all been forced out by now; they had five Mahayana cultivators, the strongest being that seventh-tribulation Mahayana old demon.
“The whereabouts of human Mahayana cultivators are hard to find,” the Phoenix said, “but we can confirm that 'Cang Mingzi' has already perished under the seventh Mahayana Immortal Lightning Tribulation. . . The rest are all indifferent individuals who focus solely on secluded cultivation and are not worth worrying about, and what's more, an 'Old Ghost Meng' also perished. . . ”
The True Spirit Phoenix said.
The Mahayana Immortal Lightning Tribulation does not descend according to cultivation advancement, but rather, after reaching the Mahayana stage, it descends periodically.
Each time is more terrifying than the last, and the difficulty of the fourth and seventh Immortal Lightning Tribulations suddenly rises by another level.
Many Mahayana cultivators perish in this manner.
Those who can overcome seven tribulations are basically all dedicated to arduous cultivation, uncaring of worldly affairs. Some have indifferent dispositions, prioritizing their own ascension to the Immortal World above even the decline of their race!
This time, that Five Elements Qilin was willing to emerge from seclusion, surprising both the Phoenix and the Black Tortoise.
“The Jiuchi race, in terms of peak combat strength, is ultimately slightly inferior to our three races. . . ” the Five Elements Qilin mused. “There should be no existences above seventh-tribulation Mahayana. . . ”
The Five Elements Qilin seemed to know what the Phoenix was thinking, and suddenly spoke, “This time, they offered a condition that this old one could not resist, forcing this old one to emerge from seclusion. . . ”
“What condition? ”
The Black Tortoise asked curiously.
“A secret art to postpone the descent of the Immortal Lightning Tribulation. . . This old one knows that if I continue cultivating in seclusion, I will absolutely not be able to overcome the eighth Immortal Lightning Tribulation, so I can only come out and seek opportunities. . . Even if it doesn't succeed, to be able to linger on for a period of time and contribute to my race, it would not be a wasted life. . . ”
The Five Elements Qilin's voice gradually became low.
