When the Holy Beast Qilin attached its auspicious Divine Energy to a person’s body, that person would temporarily receive the qilin’s protection. A person under such protection by a qilin was known in Primordial World as a Qilin Child. However, these Holy Beasts never gave away their Divine Energy so easily just to protect people because doing so would reduce the Holy Beast to a very debilitated state. Besides, to receive the protection of a Holy Beast required a great opportunity, otherwise, any random person could be reduced to smithereens from the power itself.
Meaning.
The Holy Beast Qilin lay prostrate on the ground. All of its qilin-light was already feeble to the point it was like a candle in the wind, about to snuff out at any moment.
Evidently, its Destiny was already near.
Just a little more, and the Holy Beast would have been completely refined. Not only did King Zhou fail, her Ten Thousand Beasts Unbounded Banner had even been snatched away. King Zhou Di Xin was unable to restrain her anger, “This King will have you dismembered and cut to ten thousand pieces, the muscles pulled from your bones.” Di Xin waved her hand, and a blackbird suddenly divebombed.
Qi Lin received the Holy Beast’s protection and brimmed with power. He pushed his hand forth, and a Holy Beast phantom manifested, clashing with the blackbird.
Di Xin’s figure warped, and she broke through space, her hand reaching towards Qi Lin. All law in the world seemed to be in her palm. If it had been the previous Qi Refinement Realm Qi Lin, he would have been completely unable to avoid this grab, but having received the Holy Beast’s Divine Energy, Qi Lin was completely unafraid as he threw a punch.
The punch-wind carried with it a dragon’s roar, like a galaxy that hung in the sky, unstoppable.
Di Xin gasped when she failed to take Qi Lin in one blow, having been repelled by the galaxy in the punch. The boundless punch-intent contained the essence of the Holy Beast Qilin, the one Holy Beast that represented and guarded the center. Its concept was naturally not something an Ancient Deity could compare to. Even if Di Xin was the Yin Shang’s Great King, one who enjoyed Shun’s ancient Divine Energy, but in the face of the qilin, the ancient King Zhou had no choice but to respect it.
Qi Lin himself knew that the Divine Energy in him would not last for very long. He needed to bring the Holy Beast away from the Western Continent immediately. He threw another punch without holding back one bit.
This blow left Di Xin black and blue, nearly buckling her.
Fortunately, a black cloud propped Di Xin up while also dispelling Qi Lin’s qilin punch.
“What a Qilin Child you are, to be able to wield Divine Energy to this extent. You cannot be left alive.” Wen Zhong coldly asserted. She emotionlessly waved her hand, sending the King-striking Whip towards Qi Lin. “Ye Xian, go capture the Holy Beast.”
Di Xin was unresigned, but there was no other way. She flew towards the Holy Beast; subjugating it came first.
“We must also hurry to seize the Holy Beast.” Ying Zheng narrowed her eyes. She used “Ten Thousand Li Slaughter,” and when she raised her hand, an endless expanse of Fiend Qi surged over a thousand li, rolling and forming terrifying killing intent. The Blackbird Guard were decimated in the Fiend Qi, and the boat also disintegrated.
Li Mu, Wang Jian, and the other generals also headed towards the Holy Beast.
At the same time, Wu Ding, Pan Geng, Cheng Tang, and the other Star Names glanced at each other, very knowingly heading over to attack the qilin, too.
To them, this crusade against King Zhou Di Xin was only because they did not want her power to increase to an unimaginable degree, but if they could obtain the Holy Beast Qilin for themselves, then they would have sufficient strength to usurp Di Xin. For them, the costs and benefits were obvious at a glance.
In an instant, the Holy Beast Qilin had suddenly become everyone’s target.
“Master, what now?” Su Qin was anxious to see the situation had spiraled out of control. In her original plan, Qi Lin should have broken the Ten Thousand Beasts Unbounded Array, allowing the Holy Beast to escape. Doing so would allow the Yin Shang’s aristocrats to face off against Di Xin united.
But no one could have imagined that Di Xin would resort to a sacrifice method, injuring the Holy Beast severely and leaving it with no choice but to entrust its Divine Energy to Qi Lin. However, this meant that the Holy Beast was no different from a piece of fish on the chopping block.
Wang Xu watched Wen Zhong battle Qi Lin. She moved her hand, activating the magic treasure, “Ghost Valley Sword” to stop the King-striking Whip.
Guiguzi was a bit in disbelief as to the reason this young man would receive the qilin’s protection, but she knew that if Qi Lin died, her meticulously laid plan and everything else she calculated would fail at the final stretch. “Everyone, why not first subjugate King Zhou and then negotiate about the Holy Beast. We must not allow her a chance to catch her breath.”
Though Guiguzi’s voice was as resounding as a bell, no one listened.
“The Divine Energy of a weakened Holy Beast is certainly much more enticing than your conditions.” Wen Zhong mocked Guiguzi. The Mo Qilin she straddled also bellowed.
Black clouds rolled through the sky.
Qi Lin instantly stood beside the Holy Beast. This Holy Beast was already at its dying breath. Its dragon eyes stared at him, and the scales on Qi Lin became even more resplendent, as if he had donned a layer of armor. The Divine Energy swelled again, carrying the aura of “Heaven, Earth, and the cardinal directions, I stand watch over the Center.”
A Qilin Child was one who received the protection of the Holy Beast Qilin, so Qi Lin’s every punch right now was practically the will of the Holy Beast itself.
Against the assault of Ying Zheng, Li Mu, Wu Ding, Feilian, Elai, and the other approaching Star Names, Qi Lin unleashed a power using the Holy Beast’s divine might.
Qi Lin used the “Qilin Body” and his abilities at full power. He was tyrannical and overpowering, majestic to the point he reached the depths of primordial chaos itself. An aurora spread in every direction, and that Holy Beast’s immense will was completely displayed in Qi Lin’s body. He seemed to have the bearing of a Holy Beast in peak condition.
Endless imperial might shook in all direction, sufficient to match Ancient Divine Realm.
The assault by all of the Star Names stagnated under this pressure.
“How can this be, why does this boy have such formidable qilin power.”
“Even if he is a Qilin Child, he cannot possibly use it to this extent.”
Everyone was pale.
Wen Zhong frowned. She raised her hand, and a pair of Male And Female Whips struck, twisting around Guiguzi’s magic treasure. Wen Zhong had no thoughts of being entangled. She promptly shifted her Divine Intent, and the Mo Qilin she rode also used its powers. The omnipresent black clouds become a dark stream that surged through the Great Primordial. The sounds of turbulent ocean waves were everywhere.
Crash!
The others had no choice to retreat when they saw that Wen Zhong was attacking; Wen Zhong’s Ancient Divine Realm stood too high above theirs.
Guiguzi wanted to intervene, but Wen Zhong sneered, using the Male And Female Whips to pull her aside. Then, she used the King-striking Whip again. This time, a kingly gale swelled, becoming an enormous python. The whip stretched a hundred li like a black bolt of lightning.
This whip’s power was enormous. When it cracked, there was a vague force of moving mountains and churning seas, so much so that the entire world faintly quaked.
“King-striking Whip – Anguished Scream Of The King!”
The King-striking Whip cracked. Qi Lin used all of his magical energy to defend, but once struck by the whip, all of his qilin scale armor ruptured, causing him to exclaim in surprise at this blow’s might. Amidst the fierce howl, the aurora covered him, concentrating into a layer over his body, stubbornly protecting his armor.
“How long can your qilin armor protect you!!”
Wen Zhong cackled, viciously brandishing the “King-striking Whip” again with more explosive attacks.
The whip-shadows whistled, able to lash a king, to compel even a Holy Beast. Back then, she had relied on this magic treasure to subjugate the Mo Qilin. When the King-striking Whip’s true form emerged, the color drained from the others’ faces. They quietly watched the young man suffer the flogging as he defended the Holy Beast.
“Crack, crack, crack.”
“Crack, crack, crack.”
One hundred times, two hundred.
In several breaths’ time, tens of thousands of whip-shadows had cracked all of Qi Lin’s armor, and the Divine Energy on his body was exceedingly weak.
Di Xin laughed: “Elder Sister Wen Zhong, do not beat him to death. This King wants to toy with him for the rest of his life, to torment him!!”
“Master.” Su Qin was covered in nervous sweat.
Guiguzi was occupied by the Mo Qilin and Male And Female Whips, unable to help.
Wang Jian’s heart was torn. She drew her sword and was about to advance, but the Founding Dragon called her back.
“What are you doing!!”
“Are we to watch him be beat to death?” Wang Jian could not stand this.
Ying Zheng stared at her curiously, and the other sisters were also confused: “This young man’s will to protect the qilin is commendable, but to be beaten to death is only natural. Wen Zhong is too strong. We will wait for her to waste this magic treasure, then take the qilin.”
Ying Zheng apathetically said.
Wang Jian bit her lip.
The King-striking Whip had completely sheared off Qi Lin’s armor, but he still stood firmly in front of the Holy Beast, using pure strength to resist. His skin was very quickly lacerated by the whip.
“This One shall see how much longer you can stand.” Wen Zhong was even more merciless.
The King-striking Whip unleashed an enormous bolt of lightning, and a whip-shadow descended straight for his head.
Bang.
The clash of metal and a spray of sparks; her King-striking Whip was unexpectedly repelled.
A little girl stood in front of the young man, and in her hand was a flaming-red iron staff, sizzling because of her fury.
“All of you must die!!”
The girl’s innocent smile revealed fangs.
A powerful Fiend Qi enveloped the area, and even the Mo Qilin was in a bit of a panic.
Everyone suddenly shuddered.
