"What the... hell... how did they end up fighting here..."

Watching the two beasts—one chasing, one fleeing—battling so fiercely that the sky and earth turned dark, Li Xuan felt his scalp crawl with terror!

How could he not recognize these two beasts?

The one being hunted was none other than Qiongqi, one of the Four Dire Beasts!

And the one chasing Qiongqi was the Primordial Kirin, the sovereign of all beasts!

He never imagined that their chase would lead them straight to his doorstep!

The Primordial Wilderness was so vast—how could it be such a coincidence?

Name: Qiongqi Identity: Primordial Being Cultivation: Golden Immortal of the Origin, Great Perfection, Level Nine Artifacts: Soul Shaking Thunder, Soul Capturing Bead Strength Rating: Powerful

Name: Prime Kirin Identity: Primordial Being Cultivation: Golden Immortal of the Origin, Great Perfection, Level Ten Artifacts: Qilin Seal, Heaven Extinguishing Fire Strength Rating: Powerful

Li Xuan's thoughts raced as he cast a single glance at the two beasts.

The Grand Profound Illusory Realm Array swiftly rose, transforming a thousand miles of land into a sea of dense mist.

And the spirit beasts sheltered by Li Xuan's formation hurriedly gathered at the foot of his mountain.

The great battle raging in the sky was far too terrifying—beyond anything these small spirit beasts could fathom.

So, with their shallow intellect, they naturally sought protection from Li Xuan, the kind-hearted being.

"Qiongqi! You are doomed!"

The Prime Kirin's voice was deep and mighty, carrying an undeniable pressure!

Qiongqi flapped his wings wildly, fleeing while shrieking in a sharp tone, "Kirin! You can't kill me! You can't kill me! You've chased me for a thousand years! You can't kill me at all!!"

"Is that so!?"

The Prime Kirin shook his head and swished his tail, his sun-bright eyes brimming with endless mockery: "I was merely draining your blood and qi, to keep you from a desperate counterattack that might wound me!"

As he spoke, the flames on the Prime Kirin's body burst forth.

The Qilin True Fire blazed, scorching heaven and earth, surging straight toward Qiongqi: "And now! You're finished!!"

"Then try me—see if I can still fight back!!"

Qiongqi roared, summoning endless thunder to clash with the flames in a chaotic slaughter!

These two of the most ancient and powerful beings, locked in their maddened battle, rapidly closed in on Li Xuan's location!

"Don't come any closer!!"

Seeing the two beasts, still tens of thousands of miles away, fighting wildly yet heading straight for him without deviation, Li Xuan's heart screamed in panic.

"Ding."

"Choice System activated."

"Choice One: Help Qiongqi escape alive. Completion grants a random Innate Spiritual Treasure, the Divine Ability: Heavenly Thunder Righteous Method, and a 100% chance of incurring the Prime Kirin's hostility."

"Choice Two: Help the Prime Kirin kill Qiongqi. Completion grants a random Acquired Spiritual Treasure, the Divine Ability: Five Elements True Fire, the Divine Ability: Cloning Technique, and a 50% chance of incurring the Prime Kirin's hostility."

"Choice Three: Kill both Qiongqi and the Prime Kirin. Completion grants a random Innate Supreme Treasure, one Prime Kirin corpse, one Qiongqi corpse, the Divine Ability: Purple Firmament Divine Thunder, the Divine Ability: Samadhi True Fire, and a ten-thousand-year cultivation experience scroll."

"Choice Four: Ignore the situation. Completion grants a random Innate Spiritual Treasure, a 50% chance of incurring the Prime Kirin's hostility, and a 50% chance of incurring Qiongqi's hostility."

As the two super primordial beings brawled their way over, the system's choice panel appeared before Li Xuan's eyes once more.

For a moment, Li Xuan was stunned.

Staring at the four options, he had no idea which to pick.

Choosing to ignore it? That didn't seem useful either—both had a 50% chance of hostility. Might as well help the Kirin kill Qiongqi...

"Ding. Choice incoming. Please select within five seconds, or the system will assign automatically."

Just as Li Xuan's finger wavered between options two and four, the system's prompt rang in his ear again.

"Forget it, I'll help the Kirin kill Qiongqi!"

With that thought, Li Xuan gritted his teeth and slammed his finger down on Choice Two!

"Roar!"

In the blink of an eye, Qiongqi and Prime Kirin had already fought their way into the thousand-mile radius around Li Xuan!

The thousand-mile thick fog made it impossible to see. Seeing this, Qiongqi was overjoyed.

With this dense fog as cover, it could surely hide, or even shake off the Kirin!

Without a second word, it plunged headfirst into the fog!

This saved Li Xuan the trouble of using the formation to pull Qiongqi in.

In that instant, the thick fog erupted into a boil!

And from within came Qiongqi's agonized roars and howls!

Hearing this harrowing sound, Prime Kirin was startled and quickly halted its advance, not daring to follow inside.

On the mountaintop, Li Xuan's brow was tightly furrowed, sweat pouring from his forehead.

The Profound Heaven Banner standing atop the peak flapped loudly, the formation spun endlessly, and infinite illusions flickered in and out of existence!

Though Qiongqi was powerful, it had been hunted by Prime Kirin for a thousand years and was already utterly exhausted.

Now, having fallen into the Grand Xuan Formation and affected by the illusions, it immediately began to roar and scream in agony!

It twisted, it bit, it hurled lightning without any target, even attacking itself! It had fallen into hallucination!

The Grand Profound Illusory Realm Array! A super illusion!

In the end, it let out a sudden roar, collapsed to the ground, and breathed its last.

It had killed itself!

The thick fog slowly calmed.

Outside the formation, Prime Kirin stared down at the fog below, its eyes full of wariness and suspicion.

Inside the formation, Li Xuan stared up at Prime Kirin above, his eyes full of wariness and suspicion.

"Don't come over here..."

Swallowing his saliva, Li Xuan thought to himself.

The Four Great Fierce Beasts and the Three Divine Beasts were all at the peak of Golden Immortal of the Origin, only a hair's breadth away from reaching Quasi-Saint!

And later, the three divine beasts, having slain the fierce beasts, would gain boundless merit and naturally achieve Quasi-Saint cultivation.

As for his own formation, though it was said to be unbreakable by anyone below Quasi-Saint, his own strength...

Too weak!

With his Heavenly Immortal cultivation, controlling the Grand Xuan Formation to kill a severely wounded Qiongqi was already exhausting enough.

If this Prime Kirin also came in...

Li Xuan swallowed his saliva.

Meanwhile, outside, Prime Kirin looked at the thousand-mile thick fog, its heart also filled with doubt and uncertainty...

Though Qiongqi was heavily wounded, if it fought desperately, it would take years for Prime Kirin to kill it.

But the moment it fell into this fog, it let out miserable howls and then fell silent in an instant...

This fog... was terrifying...

After thinking it over, Prime Kirin suddenly shook its head. The sky-full of flames and fire clouds instantly retracted, and it transformed into a human form.

A young man in a fiery red brocade robe, with a flickering flame at the center of his brow, extremely handsome but with a cold, stern expression!

All Primordial Beings that could take form modeled themselves after Pangu's body.

After all, the Primordial Land itself was Pangu's transformation, and thus the Dao of transformation was so ordained.

Prime Kirin looked down at the fog and slowly spoke: "Fellow Daoist within the fog, I am Kirin, currently acting as the leader of the beasts of the Primordial Land. I follow the Heavenly Dao's fate, leading the Primordial spirit beasts to exterminate the cruel fierce beasts. Only Qiongqi remained, and I pursued it all the way here. Unexpectedly, it died at your hands, Fellow Daoist. You have performed a great deed of merit! However, Qiongqi's corpse is of great use to me. I wonder if you, Fellow Daoist, could give it to me?"

"Ah... what do I do... how do I answer him? Or... just ignore him?"

Inside the Grand Profound Illusory Realm Array, Li Xuan's face was full of tension, his eyes darting around.

"Fellow Daoist... you don't even reply. Could it be that you look down on me, Kirin?"

Outside the formation, Prime Kirin waited for a while, but the fog remained still.

A spark of flame immediately lit in its eyes, and its tone turned cold, as if ready to strike at any moment.

"Hahaha!"

But just then, a bold, hearty laugh suddenly rang out.

The thick fog rolled and slowly split open a path, leading straight to the mountaintop.

Li Xuan sat cross-legged on the Thirty-Six Grade Creation Green Lotus Platform, holding a vine in his hand, laughing heartily as he looked up.

The Thirty-Six Grade Creation Green Lotus Platform shone brilliantly, various Dao rhythms spreading all around, making Li Xuan appear profound and mysterious.

And the vine in his hand emitted a seven-colored light, swaying with life, verdant and dripping.

The aura of a true enlightened master washed over everything.
