Chapter 592: Chapter 540: Fire Qilin
The skyward magma rained down like a storm, revealing a grotesque giant beast, with deer antlers on its head, resembling a lion, its mane burning fiercely like flames.
"Fire... Fire Qilin!"
Several people dispersed to avoid the magma rain, and were all shocked when they saw the beast clearly.
The Fire Qilin’s eyes flashed fiercely, its mouth biting half of a corpse, which was quickly turning to ashes in the flames—it was the male Sword Cultivator injured by Ancestor Miedu just moments ago.
Roar!
The Fire Qilin roared angrily, with the pressure of the Peak of Divinity Transformation gushing out madly, causing all the surrounding magma to reverse from the river and rush up into the sky, sweeping across the land.
Several people were horrified and made every effort to resist the rampaging magma wave.
Even the Puppet Avatar, which had been avoiding, was affected and had no time to dodge.
Jiang Yuebai’s true body had to create space ripples from afar, crossing to the Puppet Avatar’s side with Bai Jiuyou.
The two of them strongly resisted the Fire Qilin’s pressure; Jiang Yuebai withdrew the Puppet Avatar, and Bai Jiuyou activated the Undetermined Cold Ice, directly freezing the area around them.
Bang bang bang!
The surging magma, carrying terrible power and heat, continuously bombarded the ice shell supported by Bai Jiuyou.
The ice shell shattered and melted, but quickly recovered, Bai Jiuyou’s brows tightened, using all his strength to activate the Undetermined Cold Ice Qi.
Seeing this, Jiang Yuebai quickly mobilized the Dragon Qi within her spine, using the Dragon God Transformation method, to wrap Dragon Qi around her right arm, a layer of white Dragon Scales quickly covering from Jiang Yuebai’s upper arm to her fingertips, emitting a faint nine-colored halo.
Her entire right arm dragonized, directly piercing through the ice shell and into the magma, enduring the scalding pain as she swiftly absorbed the magma into her body, reducing Bai Jiuyou’s pressure.
After nine such collisions, the magma finally retreated, and Bai Jiuyou’s forehead was drenched with cold sweat, while Jiang Yuebai’s right arm was red like a hot iron, with heat rising from her body.
"How are you?" Bai Jiuyou asked with concern.
Jiang Yuebai’s expression was grave as she absorbed the magma into her spine, shaking her head slightly at Bai Jiuyou. At this moment, she could feel her spine as hot as a branding iron, making the Chaos Qi within her body boil like water, scorching her heart, absorbing the magma was barely manageable.
The Fire Qilin was still full of fiery red flames, majestically standing in the sky above the magma abyss, arrogantly looking in all directions.
After the magma wave subsided, silence reigned, with only Ancestor Miedu surviving by luck, while the previous female Sword Cultivator, the scar-faced man, and the goatee man all turned into charred corpses, slowly sinking into the magma river.
At this moment, the Dantians of the three charred corpses suddenly split open, and three Nascent Souls shot out like the wind, transforming into streaks of light as they swiftly fled.
Roar!
The Fire Qilin stomped the ground with its front hoof, rolling up three flames in pursuit.
The sudden appearance of the Fire Qilin left Ancestor Miedu puzzled; the Fire Qilin could no longer be considered a monster but belonged to the Ancient Divine Beast category, never having appeared in the Heavenly Spear Realm or the Ziwei Star Alliance.
The Taixuan Mountain Range has been under the control of the Ziwei Star Alliance for hundreds of years, and this place must have been explored by core members of the Ziwei Star Alliance; if there were traces of a Fire Qilin, someone would surely have teamed up to capture it long ago.
Ancestor Miedu recalled the entire process of learning that the Taixuan Stele had appeared here, and the suspicious points could no longer be ignored.
In a flash, the three Nascent Souls were entangled by the flames rolled up by the Fire Qilin, pulled into its mouth, and devoured, causing the flames on the Fire Qilin to burn even more vigorously, its aura stirring up a whirlwind.
This is the sign of the Fire Qilin’s advancement!
Ancestor Miedu felt alarm bells ringing in his heart, reluctantly glanced at the Taixuan Stele below the Fire Qilin, and decisively fled.
In the distance, Jiang Yuebai and Bai Jiuyou, after witnessing the Fire Qilin devour the three Nascent Souls, exchanged a look and fled as well.
Everything here made Jiang Yuebai feel off; the Fire Qilin was at the Peak of Divinity Transformation, with a large number of Demons above it, and she had already collected enough Taixuan Golden Liquid, achieving her goal for this trip, there was no need to risk her life.
As soon as they moved, they immediately caught the Fire Qilin’s attention; it roared angrily, its front hoof shaking the ground, raising violent flame ripples to chase them, its body transforming into a fiery red flame, mixed with overwhelming murderous aura, violently bolting towards them.
Jiang Yuebai had just activated the Space Restriction when she felt a black light rushing overhead, it turned out to be Ancestor Miedu’s Array Plate.
He had already discovered Jiang Yuebai and Bai Jiuyou, and now attacking them was definitely an attempt to hold them off from the Fire Qilin’s pursuit.
Ancestor Miedu indeed had a hand in this; the Array Plate was flying through the air, already emitting array light, a series of bizarre black runes bringing up rolling Demonic Qi, transforming into the Heaven and Earth Net that descended upon the two of them in less than half a breath.
Jiang Yuebai was intimidated by the Demonic Qi above, causing the Space Restriction to tremble and disperse.
"That old bastard!!"
Bai Jiuyou frowned, conjuring a Cold Ice Heavy Hammer from thin air, and fiercely struck it against the Heaven and Earth Net overhead.
Boom!
The Heaven and Earth Net shattered into ice shards and exploded wildly, though they weren’t injured, in that brief moment, Ancestor Miedu had already surpassed them, fleeing far away.
The Fire Qilin, with its raging flames, charged towards Jiang Yuebai and Bai Jiuyou.
Bai Jiuyou continued to block in front, her figure like a black hole, frantically absorbing the surrounding Spiritual Energy; her aura instantly soared to the Peak Nascent Soul, and in an instant, she deployed the Lifeless Ice Realm, extremely cold air currents burst forth, transforming into countless Ice Arrows, rushing towards the Fire Qilin like a storm.
Bang bang bang!
The ice and fire collided violently and exploded, extremely brilliant.
The Undetermined Cold Ice Arrows forcibly stopped the Fire Qilin in front of the two; even though the Qilin True Fire on the Fire Qilin had strong defensive power, facing Bai Jiuyou’s all-out attack still caused its entire body pain, making it howl in agony.
The Cold Ice Sharp Arrows broke through the Qilin True Fire’s defense, the cold as insidious as bone worms, continuously piercing into the Fire Qilin’s body, causing the flames around it to flicker uncertainly, weakening its vigor.
Roar!
The Fire Qilin roared furiously, forcing its way through the tide of ice arrows, leaping into the air, crossing over Bai Jiuyou and Jiang Yuebai’s heads, its flames surging, turning around and clawing down explosively.
Bai Jiuyou’s pupils shook violently, oppressed by the Fire Qilin’s Peak of Divinity Transformation aura.
At that moment, a dragon’s roar exploded, and Jiang Yuebai wielded a spear, flashing out from behind Bai Jiuyou, her Dragon Qi surged in the wind, her right arm and the White Dragon Spear merged into one, transforming into a giant dragon claw, colliding fiercely with the Fire Qilin’s front hoof.
The Dragon God Transformation had just been cultivated by Jiang Yuebai to the Third Layer, allowing her to partially dragonize her body.
Boom!
Violent gales swept out, centered on the collision point, causing all surrounding stone pillars to instantly explode into powder, destroying everything in its path.
Two figures shot backward from the explosion center, heavily crashing towards the magma abyss—it was clearly Jiang Yuebai and Bai Jiuyou.
The Fire Qilin was also flipped over, rolling twice in the other direction before standing tentatively upright.
"Dare you, brat!"
A voice of Ancestor Miedu’s anger suddenly came from behind the Fire Qilin, and he was sent flying and crashed not far from the Fire Qilin, his chest opened with a big hole, appearing in disarray.
The handsome male cultivator who had been hiding all along walked out from the darkness; despite being enveloped in black Demonic Qi, there was an aura of Immortal Qi about him.
Roar!
The Fire Qilin angrily erupted, instantly biting Ancestor Miedu, unable to dodge, and with his miserable cries, devoured Ancestor Miedu’s body along with his Nascent Soul.
At the same time, Jiang Yuebai grabbed the Taixuan Stele, her white hair like ropes tightly wrapping around Bai Jiuyou’s waist, half of her body resembling cracked porcelain, shards falling piece by piece into the magma.
This was the first time Jiang Yuebai saw Bai Jiuyou injured.
If Bai Jiuyou hadn’t promptly blocked her front, it would be her whose body was broken now.
"Bai Jiuyou, hang in there!"
"I’m... I’m fine... I’m fine..."
Bai Jiuyou strained to hold on, and Jiang Yuebai slowly pulled her up from the abyss, the aura around the abyss was extremely abnormal, as if something was dragging their bodies, making it difficult for them to traverse the void.
Roar!
The Fire Qilin’s roar echoed, causing the air inside the underground cave to vibrate violently and boil like water; Jiang Yuebai caught a glimpse of someone appearing strangely on the bank of the magma river.
Just at this moment, a mutation occurred, a dark gleam flashed across the Taixuan Stele grasped by Jiang Yuebai, and a powerful suction instantly absorbed Jiang Yuebai into the stele.
Along with Bai Jiuyou, but she slammed into the stele without entering it.
