The Kirin Clan's Freak

Below, Mo Huang watched helplessly as the Purple Firmament Divine Thunder slowly took shape within the Myriad Thunder Diagram, his face instantly turning deathly pale with terror.

The horror of this Purple Firmament Divine Thunder was such that even a powerful Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal dared not touch it lightly, let alone mere Primordial Unity Golden Immortals like themselves.

At this moment, there was no trace left of the arrogant demeanor he had shown at the start. Staring at the Purple Firmament Divine Thunder radiating a terrifying Aura in the void, Mo Huang was panic-stricken and hastily begged for mercy: "Fellow Daoist Gou Chen, I beg you to show mercy and spare us! We will never again pressure you into joining our clan. Thunder Marsh is yours from now on, and our Kirin Clan will never covet it again!"

Hearing Mo Huang's plea, Gou Chen could only let out a helpless sigh and said coldly: "Fellow Daoist, it is far too late. Today, all of you must remain here!"

"Damn it, run!" The moment Mo Huang heard Gou Chen's words, he did not dare hesitate for an instant. He turned and fled for his life.

The other Beasts, seeing this, were also scared out of their wits and scattered in all directions.

Yet by now, trying to escape was already too late.

"Ah!"

Several piercing screams tore through the sky as the Purple Firmament Divine Thunder instantly engulfed the fleeing Beasts. They did not even have a chance to struggle before being obliterated into nothingness.

Mo Huang survived only because a mysterious protective barrier suddenly appeared around him.

This barrier flickered with a faint light, barely managing to withstand the lethal strike of the Purple Firmament Divine Thunder.

"Elder, save me!" Mo Huang shouted hoarsely, his voice filled with terror and despair.

"Who dares to harm a member of my Kirin Clan!" Following Mo Huang's desperate cry, an enormous Kirin figure suddenly materialized in the void.

This Kirin radiated a powerful pressure, far stronger than Mo Huang's—clearly a Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal-level powerhouse.

"Hahaha, Gou Chen, my clan's Elder Mo Yuan is here! If you kneel and beg for mercy now, you might still have a chance!" Seeing Mo Yuan's phantom appear, Mo Huang felt his confidence surge back, as if he had grabbed a lifeline, and he grew arrogant once more.

It was as if the sky had cleared, the rain had stopped, and he thought he was invincible again.

Gou Chen, however, paid no attention to Mo Huang's bluster. He focused entirely on Mo Yuan's phantom and muttered a low curse: "Damn it, I knew the Kirin Clan wouldn't be easy to deal with."

Mo Yuan's phantom also turned its gaze to Gou Chen and said coldly: "So you tried to annihilate a Clan Member of my Kirin Clan? You deserve death!"

The moment the words left his mouth, Gou Chen felt an overwhelming pressure bearing down on him from all directions, like an invisible mountain trying to crush him completely.

"Damn it, even just a phantom of a Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal is beyond what I can handle now. It seems I have no choice but to flee." Gou Chen had initially thought about putting up a fight, but after truly sensing this terrifying pressure, he realized he had been far too naive.

The power of a Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal was far beyond what he could contend with at this stage.

But what Gou Chen did not know was that the Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal phantom, upon seeing him below, thought to itself: "At least it's just a Primordial Unity Golden Immortal I was called out to deal with. Still, I absolutely cannot hand out the incarnation tokens to Clan Members casually anymore. What if they provoke a Golden Immortal of the Origin out there?"

"This Kirin has such a peculiar way of thinking—a Kirin this cowardly. And it's actually a Five Virtues Kirin, yet it doesn't cultivate the Five Elements Great Dao, but the Causality Great Dao instead. Still, since your Kirin Clan made a move on my Thunder Marsh, even if that Causality fellow showed up, it wouldn't matter." Xuanxiao muttered softly as he watched Mo Yuan below.

"Little one, the Purple Firmament Divine Thunder is not meant to be used like that. I'll show you once—watch closely."

Then, another ethereal voice rang out from the void:

"The Kirin Clan is this arrogant? It seems I need to teach you that in this Primordial Wilderness, your Kirin Clan does not get to run rampant!"

"Who!" Hearing this unfamiliar voice, Mo Yuan immediately released his powerful divine sense, scanning the surroundings like a fine net. Yet strangely, he found no trace of whoever had spoken.

Just then, a Purple Firmament Divine Thunder suddenly appeared out of thin air in the void. This bolt was far more massive and terrifying than the one Gou Chen had summoned, carrying an aura of world-destroying might as it hurtled straight toward Mo Yuan.

The moment Mo Yuan saw this Purple Firmament Divine Thunder, terror flooded his face, and countless thoughts surged in his mind: "Damn it, a Purple Firmament Divine Thunder of such profound power—could this be a trap? Who is plotting against our Kirin Clan? Or is it aimed at me? I knew it—the outside world is full of danger!"

"Crack!"

With a sharp explosion, the Purple Firmament Divine Thunder struck down fiercely. Mo Yuan's phantom did not even have time to let out a scream before it was reduced to nothingness by the terrifying thunder, vanishing without a trace.

And Mo Huang below him was not spared either; he was consumed along with the residual force of the Purple Firmament Divine Thunder, wiped clean away. Until the moment of his dissolution, Mo Huang's face still wore that arrogant expression, making it utterly absurd.

After both Mo Yuan and Mo Huang had vanished, Xuanxiao's figure slowly appeared beside Gou Chen.

"Little one, how was that? Did you see clearly?" Xuanxiao smiled at Gou Chen, his eyes carrying a hint of concern and expectation.

Hearing Xuanxiao's words, Gou Chen's face lit up with sudden understanding. He quickly said respectfully: "Thank you for the guidance, Senior!" Then he immediately sat cross-legged on the ground.

Xuanxiao watched Gou Chen's actions and nodded with satisfaction: "Not bad insight. After seeing that Purple Firmament Divine Thunder, you were able to enter a state of enlightenment directly."

Then Xuanxiao glanced at Gou Chen once more, sensed the surroundings slightly, and waved his right hand lightly. A mysterious Space Rift instantly appeared before him.

Without any hesitation, Xuanxiao stepped straight into the Space Rift.

Meanwhile, in the territory of the Kirin Clan, a Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal-level Kirin—Mo Yuan—suddenly coughed up a mouthful of blood without warning, his face turning extremely grim.

Shock and fury mingled on his face as he muttered to himself: "Damn it, what exactly happened at Thunder Marsh? Why did my incarnation vanish so inexplicably without leaving a single trace of information?"

"No, I can't just let this go!" Rage burned in Mo Yuan's heart. He was about to say he would investigate, but then he hesitated and backed down.

"Forget it, it's just one lost incarnation, just one kalpa of cultivation lost. I can afford the loss. Better not go out."

Mo Yuan was now living by the principle of following his heart.

However, just because Mo Yuan was willing to let it go did not mean Xuanxiao was.

Suddenly, a Space Rift appeared without warning beside him.
