The Death of Thunder Qilin

Ignoring the juniors' shouts and cries, as though they had never seen the wider world, Thunder Qilin pressed resolutely onward, accelerating toward the very center.

For it to have such a tremendous effect on this stretch of heaven and earth, the spirit treasure being born here was bound to be of no low grade!

When he entered the very center, Thunder Qilin saw a living being.

Above the blood pool not far away, the Earthly Turbid Qi converged.

Twelve great cocoons drew in the Earthly Turbid Qi, their transformation having reached a critical moment.

But Thunder Qilin paid the Ancestral Witches no attention.

Of the many living beings in the Primordial World, only the Witch Clan cultivated using the Earthly Turbid Qi.

And since the Witch Clan had yet to emerge, the Earthly Turbid Qi was useless in the eyes of the many races.

Thunder Qilin looked toward a white-robed being standing not far from the blood pool, hands clasped behind his back.

Though the being stood at the heart of the storm, he looked exceedingly frail.

Fuxi cultivated the Mythic Great Luo Method, so in the eyes of the Primordial World's cultivators, he was a man with no cultivation whatsoever.

That made it worth pondering how he could stand there safe and sound.

Thunder Qilin thought to himself that the treasure which had emerged must have fallen into that frail being's hands!

"Tell me, where is the treasure?"

Thunder Qilin's words fell entirely on deaf ears.

Fuxi's gaze had settled on the air about Thunder Qilin, entwined with a strange power.

Hidden within it were killing intent, a faint power of curses, and the unmistakably displeased presence of the Heavenly Dao.

This was the Calamity Fiendish Qi that clung to those caught up in the Tribulation.

As an important figure of the Qilin Clan, Thunder Qilin carried an exceptionally dense concentration of Calamity Fiendish Qi.

And at that moment, the Primordial Ancestral Qi within Fuxi felt a trace of desire for that boundless baleful Qi!

As rulers of the earth, the Qilin Clan had always acted with utter tyranny.

Upon meeting Fuxi for the first time, Thunder Qilin had already passed judgment on him.

He was nothing more than an ordinary, frail being who had been lucky enough to obtain a spirit treasure.

Before the Qilin Clan, whoever it was should bow in submission and offer up the spirit treasure with both hands.

The Qilin Clan's appearance was highly distinctive, and Fuxi had naturally recognized him.

Precisely because he recognized Thunder Qilin, the latter was already as good as dead in Fuxi's eyes.

Something destined to be worn away in the Dragon-Han Calamity was not worth a second glance from Fuxi.

The Calamity Fiendish Qi, however, was worth making some plans for.

A product unique to Tribulations, Calamity Fiendish Qi arose with a Tribulation and ended with it.

And the Dragon-Han Calamity had already reached its middle-to-late stages.

The hatred among the Dragon, Phoenix, and Qilin Clans had become irreconcilable!

And in the Dragon-Han Calamity, besides the three clans who played the leading roles in the open,

There were two others pulling the strings behind the scenes.

Though they had not stepped into the open, they too were already deeply caught up in this Tribulation.

Fuxi could not possibly let a single one of these forces go!

As Fuxi pondered for a moment, Thunder Qilin spoke again, putting on an overbearing air!

"I am Thunder Qilin of the Qilin Clan. To grant you this honor, kneel and present the treasure with both hands!"

"Then I can spare your life!"

Every word Thunder Qilin uttered carried thunder. Above the place where he stood, a domain filled with thunder and flashing lightning naturally gathered in the sky!

It needed only Thunder Qilin's will for the thunder to strike down fiercely and sweep away every obstacle ahead!

Yet even threatened like this, Fuxi paid the fellow no mind at all.

Why bother with a man about to die?

Fuxi's refusal to spare him so much as a glance was precisely what ignited Thunder Qilin's fury.

In an instant, thunder rolled and slithered through the domain like serpents, its heaven-reaching roar resounding across this stretch of heaven and earth.

"I-I... I heard that most of the seniors who went on missions with Elder Thunder Qilin before were caught by his lightning and brought back lying down..."

Several young qilin who had never been on a battlefield or experienced true combat huddled tightly together, trembling.

"Since that's how it is, pay the price for your disrespect!!!"

Thunder Qilin attacked in a rage.

A colossal sphere of lightning appeared in Thunder Qilin's mouth. This was the signature technique of which he was so proud, named after himself—"Thunder Qilin"!!!

Bolt after bolt was absorbed and compressed, the lightning sphere in Thunder Qilin's mouth growing ever larger, its might ever more oppressive.

The sphere swelled rapidly, and before long it had grown to the size of more than half of Thunder Qilin's body.

Thunder Qilin raised his head, sensing that the lightning sphere had reached the limit of what it could bear.

Then, propelled by Thunder Qilin's magic power, the sphere shot from his mouth, leaving traces of lightning strikes everywhere it passed and tears in space itself.

Under my "Thunder Qilin," every disrespectful, insolent being will surely be left without even a corpse!

Thunder Qilin thought smugly.

Then he saw the frail being cast a long, penetrating glance in his direction.

What a glance it was!

The Zhou Tian Stars and endless chaos lay hidden in those eyes.

In that glance, Thunder Qilin saw worlds destroyed and stars falling, Netherfire flickering dimly, and heard the wails of souls!

Even so, Thunder Qilin still had no intention of retreating!

Did that being think he could stop his "Thunder Qilin" with a raised hand and a glance?

What an enormous joke!

But Fuxi merely raised one hand, and the Chaotic Bagua appeared, enveloping and devouring the enormous mass of lightning.

Before the Chaotic Bagua, even heaven-shaking might was powerless.

The "Thunder Qilin" that had once sent Dragon Clan elders fleeing in panic and caused members of the Phoenix Clan to fall on the battlefield,

Fared no better than this before the Chaotic Bagua.

Countless forces drew at the mass of lightning within the Chaotic Bagua.

The closer it came to Fuxi, the slower it moved.

In the end, it came to rest before him.

Unable to advance!

"A laughable trick!"

Fuxi reached out and drew a circle in the air.

The mass of lightning was split in two, completely dispersed by Fuxi.

The effortless ease with which he handled such a tremendous force left onlookers dumbstruck!

Within the Chaotic Bagua, the two masses of lightning formed a taiji pattern, one black and one white, one yin and one yang!

Under Thunder Qilin's astonished gaze, the two bolts of lightning shot straight toward him with a force tens of thousands of times greater than that of "Thunder Qilin"!

Then Thunder Qilin discovered in horror that he could not dodge those two bolts of lightning!

It was all too late!

When the two black and white bolts pierced him and his body fell with a crash,

Only then did Thunder Qilin realize!

Why that being had been standing there, in a place where not even the Qilin Clan had ever set foot.

The spiritual Qi between heaven and earth was clearly rejoicing at that being's every movement.

And that glance had in fact been proof of the being's formidable strength.

Thunder Qilin's high opinion of himself had been nothing but a joke in the other's eyes.

But by the time he realized it, everything was already too late!

Thunder Qilin turned his head with difficulty and saw that the young qilin who had come with him had already been reduced to nothing beneath those two bolts of lightning.

Ha, what tremendous irony.

Thunder Qilin's eyes finally closed, and his body crashed heavily onto the earth beneath him.

The domain of thunder in the sky had already dispersed when the black and white bolts appeared!
