Wu Ding, Pan Geng, Di Yi, Yang Jia, Wen Ding, Cheng Tang and more were all nobles who governed regions of Yin Shang.
This time, they all were practically roped into a Vertical and Horizontal Alliance by Su Qin.
“Are you rebelling?” Feilian said.
Cheng Tang answered: “The heavenly qilin submits only to the Holy Emperor. Di Xin has used vicious methods in her capture, violating heavenly law. You will destroy Yin Shang’s fate, we cannot remain unconcerned.”
“Exactly, now that Di Xin is becoming more and more savage. For the sake of saving Yin Shang from destruction by her hand, we must stop her.” Wu Ding uprighteously declared.
The other nobles also made solemn vows, an appearance of wanting to uphold heavenly law.
Su Qin inwardly sneered. Wu Ding and Pan Geng were Divine Names. Though they seemed to be aristocrats, all of them actually wanted to unify Yin Shang for themselves. Ever since Di Xin destroyed the Great Zhou and skyrocketed in her destiny, her Realm was already on the verge of reaching an inconceivable level. If they allowed her to then obtain the Holy Beast Qilin, even these Yin Shang noble Star Names would find it difficult to save themselves. To convince them to band together and subjugate Di Xin was honestly too easy.
“Everyone, speak no further with the tyrant, do not allow her to obtain the qilin. Advance!!” Su Qin pointed her finger, and a sword-light shot out from her sword box into the clouds. An enormous sword cleaved down through empty space.
Wu Ding, Pan Geng, Di Yi, Cheng Tang, and the other Star Names used their own abilities in succession.
More than half the Blackbird Guard died in an instant. Feilian and Elai bitterly persisted, but they could not withstand the assault from these Star Names.
Just at this moment, a floating girl in a large black robe descended from the Ten Thousand Beasts Unbounded Array. A blackbird emerged and spread its wings, blocking all the incoming attacks. After the smoke and dust cleared, the girl was revealed to have a slender and ice-cold gaze. “Cheng Tang, Wu Ding…This King will give you one chance to withdraw right now. Otherwise, This King shall not be gracious.”
The group’s expressions changed.
Di Xin’s Realm had actually reached Ancient Divine Realm already.
“Great King, the Ten Thousand Beasts Unbounded…” Feilian was shocked.
“No matter. This King left a split-body. This King shall give these nobles a small lesson, make them realize how terrifying the Divine Energy of ‘Shun’ can be!” King Zhou clenched her fist, and a black vortex formed in her palm.
She threw it into the air. Then, the blackbird possessed her. Di Xin seemed to metamorphosize. Black qi glowed, and everything in the world seemed to dim.
Su Qin shifted her gaze to the Ten Thousand Beasts Unbounded Array. Now, she could only count on her junior brother to break the array. So long as he could ruin the plan to capture the qilin, Di Xin could not last too long.
Both sides engaged in a fierce battle.
Meanwhile, on Qi Lin’s side, the primordial chaos ten thousand beasts endlessly gnawed at the qilin. Even a Holy Beast could not endure the oppression of the Approaching Heaven magic treasure. This Holy Beast was already showing signs of weakness and could possibly be eaten completely at any moment. If it was captured by the Ten Thousand Beasts Unbounded Array, then Di Xin could be said to be invincible.
Qi Lin looked at everyone in the array. The twelve banner shafts rocked intensely.
Without any time to lose, Qi Lin chanted, immediately cutting off the Pixiu Banner, but under the Ten Thousand Beasts Amulet, he was already unable to assert control over this banner. Qi Lin’s figure shifted, and he entered the Ten Thousand Beasts Unbounded Array. When the others saw that Qi Lin had entered the array, they were shocked. Did this brat want to die?
Contained in the array was endless primordial chaos, as if from before Heaven and Earth split. The countless Ancient Fierce Beasts formed from the primordial chaos were all attacking the Holy Beast Qilin.
Qi Lin already had a vague understanding of the Ten Thousand Unbounded Array’s mystery from the murals in the Taowu Tomb and the Eight Gates that Wang Xu taught him. He avoided the dangerous areas, stepping on the primordial chaos qi straight to take the Ten Thousand Beasts Amulet at the array eye. So long as he obtained the Ten Thousand Beasts Unbounded Amulet, he could control the banners. Now while Di Xin was absent was the best opportunity.
Qi Lin moved through the array. Other Fierce Beasts emerged from the primordial chaos and pounced towards him, but because Qi Lin had the Heavenly Vertical Earthly Horizontal Escape and the Qimen Dunjia art, he could move as like demons and gods through the array. He practically gave the Fierce Beasts no chance to pounce at all. Just as the Ten Thousand Beasts Amulet was within reach.
The Ten Thousand Beasts Amulet had a figure in it. It was Di Xin’s split-body.
“You dare court death!!”
Di Xin looked at Qi Lin, her expression immediately cold as frost.
“Your Servant’s True Name is Qi Lin, how can I let you hurt a Holy Beast.” Qi Lin shouted, not hiding any longer.
“Destined Blackbird!” Di Xin’s eyes narrowed. A blackbird phantom emerged on her back. Killing intent surged, full of an air that sucked the life out of everything.
Di Xin had the fortune to have received the power of the Destined Blackbird, allowing her to stand heads and shoulders above most Yin Shang Star Names. This “Destined Blackbird” was similar to the “Yin Yang Fortune Body” in that it cultivated the corporeal body.
Qi Lin threw a punch that rumbled like thunder.
The blackbird instantly obstructed him. Black light split off like wings, attacking him from the left and right.
Qi Lin did not even look. His hands formed a seal, and he continued on to use the Dual Modes Seal. The light of the Dual Modes Seal bore hardness and softness, life and death, Yin and Yang, activity and stillness, water and fire, and other such changes with unimaginable speed. In the end, these mysteries gathered and formed into an immense Taiji pattern.
“The Dual Modes Seal!!! Impossible, what is your relationship with Liangyizi!”1 Di Xin was shocked to recognize this technique.
The Dual Modes Seal emitted a tremendous, muffled, and distant sound. It was like a dragon or phoenix, just like when Heaven and Earth first split. This immense noise was thoroughly inside the array, surprisingly shaking the Ten Thousand Beasts Unbounded.
Even the Holy Beast Qilin felt the shock.
This Dual Modes Seal practically expended all of Qi Lin’s True Qi, but the Taiji diagram immediately trapped the blackbird and killed it.
But this was not enough. Even a split body required a fatal blow in order to be killed. Qi Lin instantly used the Heaven-shaking Bow and the Cloud-piercing Arrow. He nocked the arrow, and the Dark Heaven magic treasure’s power shook Heaven and Earth; it could breach any defense. The Cloud-piercing Arrow was loosed. It shot through the obstructions of space and time.
Not good!!
Di Xin was caught unprepared. She screamed, and an enormous shield appeared in front of her. This shield glowed with a dark light, as if it was formed from black water. At the center of the shield was a blackbird. There were countless bird script patterns all over the shield, and innumerable talisman scripts moved about.
This blackbird was seemingly on the verge of emerging from the shield. It was full of heavy, insurmountable power.
This Blackbird Shield was a treasured formed completely from Di Xin’s Divine Intent, comparable to a magic treasure.
Bang!
The Cloud-piercing Arrow cut through space and shot into the center of the shield. It jolted, and a wave pattern quickly dispersed. The entire shield let out a creaking noise, unstable, as if it was about to disintegrate. The wave patterns and the bird script on its surface also distorted.
The blackbird in the shield struggled still as if to stop this arrow.
But this Dark Heaven magic treasure was no less inferior to an Approaching Heaven magic treasure. This arrow was also fired with all of Qi Lin’s strength. If it lost, he would have no way to recover.
The arrow-light whined, as if the Xuannü was supporting the arrow.
The Heaven-shaking Bow rocked the Blackbird Shield’s defenses, and the Cloud-piercing Arrow finally penetrated the center straight through the blackbird. With an enormous noise, the shield faltered like a chicken egg, disintegrating inch by inch. Then, it exploded, becoming countless scattered pieces.
Di Xin’s split-body was overwhelmed with shock.
She had been penetrated by the Cloud-piercing Arrow in the chest. The girl did not dare believe that a Qi Refinement cultivator was capable of harming her. By the time she looked up, Qi Lin’s fist was already approaching, reaching straight for the Ten Thousand Beasts Amulet.
Far outside the array, the real Di Xin vomited blood and looked in disbelief at her palm.
Wu Ding, Pan Geng and the others thought that their attack had been effective, and they were overjoyed.
“This qilin belongs to This King, nobody should dare think of touching it!!”
Di Xin was furious. She suddenly shifted her thoughts.
“Offer the banners to This King!!!”
A red light entered the Ten Thousand Beasts Unbounded Array. Shang Yangjun, Shang Meng, Shang Shiwu, and the rest of the disciples suddenly felt like their bones were burning. The twelve banners simultaneously spun and released a ray of Divine Energy around these Qi Refinement cultivators. Then, all the young men and women felt as if they were melting, like their blood was burning. It was incomparably painful. Their essence-blood was surprisingly being absorbed by the banners and converted to energy.
The Ten Thousand Beasts Amulet glowed with a blood-light, covering the array.
In an instant, the primordial chaos beasts inside the array were in a blood-red frenzy, unstoppable. The Holy Beast Qilin’s last bit of strength gave out, and it was dragged to the ground by the ten thousand beasts, about to become food.
“This is bad!!”
Wang Xu’s expression changed. She wanted to enter the Ten Thousand Beasts Unbounded Array, but blood-colored Fiend Qi stopped her outside of it; she was unable to touch it. She listened to the disciples inside scream wretchedly, as if this was hell on earth.
Guiguzi looked at Di Xin in astonishment.
“So this turned out to be your doing, Wang Xu?”
Di Xin licked her lips, a thin smile filled with bloodthirst.
“Does the Great King wish to kill a Holy Beast?” Wang Xu urgently asked.
“The Holy Beast will melt into the Ten Thousand Beasts Unbounded Array, and This King will cultivate an Earlier Heaven magic treasure from it. Wang Xu, did you truly believe that This King wanted to capture the qilin in order to become that Holy Emperor?” Di Xin smirked: “To cultivate the Ten Thousand Beasts Unbounded Banner into an Earlier Heaven magic treasure, a Divine Name’s power is still needed. How timely of those aristocrats to arrive. Wang Xu, This King must thank you.”
Guiguzi took a step back in surprise. The King Zhou in front of her was unfathomable.
“Could it be…”
A whip-light descended, forcing Guiguzi back. Everyone looked.
In the sky, there was a Mo Qilin2 stepping on black clouds, approaching from the horizon. Riding the Mo Qilin was a magnificent woman, who gripped a divine whip, who had about her an immortal’s beauty.
