Ancestral Qilin Retreats in Defeat

Thus, when cultivators pursued the great Dao of laws, they also took a step toward understanding the Heaven and Earth Rules!

Countless cultivators had fallen on the path of pursuing laws, and even Great God Pangu was no exception.

When the presence of the Heaven and Earth Rules emerged, Fuxi was immediately drawn to it.

The Chaotic Bagua appeared around him and began to revolve on its own, while countless mesmerizing lights flickered in Fuxi's eyes.

Mystery after mystery was analyzed and unraveled.

Fuxi became immersed in this ocean of the Heaven and Earth Rules!

Ancestral Qilin, meanwhile, was completely ignored!

At the sight of Fuxi standing there comprehending the Dao, Ancestral Qilin's whole body shuddered, sending up clouds of bloody mist!

"This person... why is this person so powerful?"

In their battle just now, Fuxi's overwhelming display had left a deep impression on Ancestral Qilin.

His innate spirit treasure had been shattered by Fuxi's hand, and the killing move born from the law he had spent so long comprehending had been wiped away with ease.

A trace of fear surfaced in the heart of this hegemon of heaven and earth.

He had realized that he might not be a match for this unknown being.

His thoughts raced, and his anger inexplicably subsided somewhat.

As if compelled by some unseen force, he actually spoke.

"Fellow Daoist, I now know that your strength is unmatched. I was presumptuous today!"

"If you do not object, I wish to invite you all to join forces with my Qilin Clan, defeat the Dragon and Phoenix Clans, and share the seat of hegemon of heaven and earth!"

These words were the greatest concession Ancestral Qilin could make.

He had utterly lost face today.

But when the old man lost his horse, who could say it was not a blessing in disguise?

If he could recruit Fuxi, even that old dragon might not be their match.

It had not been easy for him to make such a decision.

After all, all the Qilin Clan sought was to become the hegemon of heaven and earth.

Yet the three clans were so evenly matched that none could decisively defeat the others!

With a top-tier mighty figure joining them, Ancestral Qilin would surely claim the true seat of hegemon of heaven and earth!

And when that time came, Ancestral Qilin would have to share the world with Fuxi.

Ancestral Qilin firmly believed that, having made such a concession, anyone would find it hard to refuse.

Yet the Ancestral Witches merely gave Ancestral Qilin a strange look before turning their attention back to Fuxi.

Within the interwoven web of divine sense the Ancestral Witches had formed.

Zhurong: "Has this bird-brain gone mad? What strange nonsense is he spouting?"

Houtu: "Share the seat of hegemon of heaven and earth? He certainly talks big!"

Dijiang: "Even we, the descendants of Father God Pangu, have never openly claimed the seat of hegemon of heaven and earth. How dare he say such a thing?"

Gonggong: "Kill anyone who disrespects Father God!"

Clearly, Ancestral Qilin's words had failed to tempt the Ancestral Witches. Instead, killing intent rose in their hearts.

Fuxi, for his part, gave Ancestral Qilin no response at all.

Within the Chaotic Bagua, flames soared to the heavens one moment, water flooded the mortal world the next, thunder roared, and frost filled the sky.

The various laws Fuxi had mastered appeared one by one, until at last the Law of Force governed them all.

Ancestral Qilin waited for Fuxi's reply.

But instead of an answer, an astonishing pressure swept toward him.

It was as though a supreme existence stood within the primordial chaos, suppressing all ages.

With one hand, it could cover the heavens; with a turn of its hand, it could create a world!

Under that vast power, Ancestral Qilin stumbled and fell straight to his knees.

The pressure continued to mount, making blood flow from his seven orifices.

"You!"

He did not know that Fuxi was acting unconsciously and assumed Fuxi had made his choice.

The anger he had suppressed erupted once more.

"You go too far!"

"Must you really fight my Qilin Clan until the fish dies and the net tears?"

"Do you think my Qilin Clan is truly so easy to bully?"

But just as he questioned Fuxi again and again.

Heavenly light poured down from the summit of Buzhou Mountain.

White deer clad in rosy light bounded down from within it, and seven-colored radiance enveloped all of heaven and earth.

Amid the radiance, Ancestral Qilin saw a pale cyan lotus appear beneath Fuxi's feet.

Its petals unfurled layer by layer, containing countless mysteries.

Fuxi's eyes were clear as the Heaven and Earth Rules were thoroughly analyzed within them.

The laws he had unconsciously released within the Chaotic Bagua were withdrawn.

Ancestral Qilin felt the inexplicable pressure covering him vanish at once.

One moment, he had been a hegemon whose fury pierced the clouds, seemingly ready to resist Fuxi's presence with all his might.

But the next, he swiftly tore open space and fled.

The Qilin Clan Territory!

Spiritual Qi overflowed, life flourished, and all manner of spirit flowers and herbs grew everywhere.

Among the flowers, grass, and trees, young qilin representing the Qilin Clan's future darted about freely.

Suddenly, fierce winds rose, and the heavens changed dramatically.

Thick, impenetrable clouds filled the sky, which had been cloudless for ten thousand miles just moments before.

The clouds slowly turned in a vortex overhead, shot through with countless bolts of lightning!

"What is happening?!!!"

Countless Qilin Clan members rushed out and stared, dumbstruck, at the sudden, ominous change in the heavens!

"What villain dares attack? Quickly, give us your name!"

A Qilin Clan elder stationed in the Clan Territory roared at the sky.

Who dared invade the Qilin Clan Territory?!

Amid the wind and clouds, an enormous creature slowly showed its head.

A pattering "rain" fell as he moved.

Looking closely, it was no "rain" at all, but the enormous creature's blood!

"Awooooo!!!!!!"

The gaps in space were filled with the presence of chaos, and none but those with great divine abilities dared enter them rashly.

On any other day, Ancestral Qilin would naturally have had no trouble at all.

But now he was gravely wounded and somewhat unable to do as he wished.

Ancestral Qilin soon emerged from the vortex in the sky and plummeted toward the center of the Clan Territory!

A downpour fell with the thunder, and a drop of blood from a Quasi-Sage slowly fell onto the spirit flowers and herbs.

A violent presence erupted from the center of the Clan Territory, scattering the dense clouds overhead and pressing all the spirit flowers and herbs flat in the same direction.

"White-robed being beneath Buzhou Mountain, my clan will kill you!"

This was a declaration from the Qilin Clan, and Ancestral Qilin's order to hunt down the white-robed being beneath Buzhou Mountain!

"When I enter the Supreme Dao of Primordial Unity, I will surely come and kill you!"

Ancestral Qilin had ample confidence and reason for it.

He was the Ancestral Qilin, born innate. Given enough time, he would surely enter the Supreme Dao of Primordial Unity.

Unfortunately, Ancestral Qilin did not know.

Across the Primordial World, the Blood Fiend Qi caused by the three clans' wars had enraged the Heavenly Dao.

The Qilin Clan's fortune had already begun to resemble the sun sinking toward the western mountains!

Beneath Buzhou Mountain, countless profound mysteries manifested around Fuxi.

It was a sight that would have shocked any cultivator.

Profound mysteries took form, and the great Dao leading to the heavens lay straight ahead!

Heavenly music drifted softly, purple Qi filled the air, and golden lotuses surged and fell!
