Seven-Colored Qilin

The Primal Chaos Plate seemed to realize Lin Yan was in danger. Its body suddenly expanded, transforming into a disc several zhang high, and it directly blocked Lin Yan's path.

Like a great whale absorbing water, the fierce torrent of sha qi was forcibly sucked into the Primal Chaos Plate. The patterns on the disc's surface flickered, and the Primal Chaos Seed within spun rapidly, constantly decomposing and transforming the terrifying sha qi that surged in.

Taking advantage of the gap created by the Primal Chaos Plate absorbing the torrent of sha qi, Lin Yan quickly retreated. He activated his innate skill, Earth Escape Technique, and instantly burrowed underground. After completely devouring the torrent of sha qi, the Primal Chaos Plate also turned and followed Lin Yan underground.

The flames in the Xie Ju's eyes flickered. It clearly hadn't expected such an inconspicuous disc to be able to devour its attack.

Even more infuriating was that the "spirit beast" that had been confronting it moments ago had also vanished underground.

The Xie Ju Fierce Beast naturally wouldn't let them escape so easily. It stomped its single foot on the ground, and a terrifying shockwave spread out from its foot, covering an area of several dozen li.

The earth rolled like waves. Lin Yan, who had just burrowed underground and hadn't gotten far, felt as if his internal organs had been displaced by the tremor, and even the spirit power within him was scattered.

He quickly ended his earth遁, returning to the surface. He worried that if he stayed underground any longer, he might be shaken to pieces by the shockwave.

"Damn it, this beast can actually seal the earth qi," Lin Yan said, still shaken. His most proud Earth Escape Technique was unusable, and now he couldn't escape.

Seeing Lin Yan emerge from the ground again, the Xie Ju Fierce Beast knew he couldn't escape anymore. Since that was the case, it no longer seemed in a hurry to kill this two-legged spirit beast. Instead, it continuously emitted a suffocating pressure, slowly approaching Lin Yan, as if savoring the pleasure of torment.

Lin Yan was naturally unwilling to wait for death. He prepared to reveal his Earth Dragon True Form and fight the Xie Ju to the death.

Just as Lin Yan was preparing to fight desperately, a clear, majestic, yet somewhat childish long howl suddenly came from the sky. The howl contained a brilliant and righteous energy, like sunlight dispelling darkness, instantly diluting the terrifying pressure brought by the Xie Ju.

Lin Yan and the Xie Ju both froze, raising their heads to look at the sky.

In the sky, which had been somewhat dim, a giant Seven-Colored Auspicious Cloud was flying towards them. Auspicious Qi flowed around the cloud, and colorful clouds stretched for ten thousand zhang. In the center of the auspicious cloud, a divine beast was treading through the air.

This divine beast resembled a deer, covered in seven-colored scales, which were clearly condensed from extremely pure Innate Wutu Essence. A crystal-clear jade horn sat atop its head, emitting a gentle yet irresistible pressure. Beneath its four hooves burned golden flames like auspicious clouds. As it ran, sparks scattered, and the sha qi in the air was instantly incinerated into nothingness by these flames.

From afar, this divine beast looked extraordinary and majestic, exuding an aura of grandeur. Coupled with the pure spiritual energy it radiated, it appeared as if a god had descended from heaven.

"A... Qilin?!" Lin Yan blurted out, his heart pounding. Its appearance was identical to the auspicious beast Qilin from his past life's memories, and it was very... cute!

The Qilin hovered in the air, looking down. Its gaze swept across the devastated valley, finally landing on the Xie Ju and Lin Yan. It actually began to speak human language. Its voice was clearly bright like that of a young person, yet it tried to put on an old and experienced tone: "Halt! What kind of evil creature dares to run rampant here, disrupting the peace of heaven and earth. I am the Young Master of the Qilin Clan, Mo Xuan. Having encountered you today, I shall act on behalf of heaven and eliminate you, this scourge."

Although the words were righteous and awe-inspiring, paired with the slightly childish voice, they gave Lin Yan a feeling of... cuteness. This was clearly a half-grown child trying hard to appear profound.

Lin Yan found the Qilin majestic and cute, but the Xie Ju Fierce Beast did not. The Qilin divine beast's serene aura made it feel instinctively disgusted and threatened. It raised its head and let out a low roar at the Seven-Colored Qilin in the air. It stomped its single foot on the ground, and a thick torrent of sha qi shot straight up into the sky.

"Hmph! A petty trick, daring to show off in front of a master." The Seven-Colored Qilin Mo Xuan snorted disdainfully. The jade horn on its head flashed, and a light golden barrier appeared out of thin air, protecting it. The torrent of sha qi crashed against the barrier, dissolving like ice and snow meeting a scorching spring, without even stirring a ripple.

"My turn to attack." The Seven-Colored Qilin shouted, and the golden flames on its four hooves suddenly flared. Its body instantly turned into a seven-colored stream of light, charging towards the Xie Ju Fierce Beast below.

"Qilin Steps on Heaven!"

Following Mo Xuan's shout, its seemingly light hooves seemed to make the void tremble with every step. Golden ripples spread from beneath its hooves, carrying a vast power that cleansed the universe, enveloping the Xie Ju Fierce Beast.

With a muffled thud, one of the Seven-Colored Qilin's hooves landed on the Xie Ju Fierce Beast's hard skull. It was like a hammer smashing a watermelon.

Suddenly, red and black matter splattered everywhere. The Xie Ju Fierce Beast's massive body crashed to the ground, countless malevolent energies seeping from its cracked head. However, they were quickly purified by the golden light emanating from the Seven-Colored Qilin's jade horn.

One-shot kill!

"This... is too strong?" Lin Yan stared, dumbfounded.

He knew the Qilin Clan was a rare and powerful race in this world, but this seemingly underage little Qilin in the air had dealt with a Heavenly Immortal Level fierce beast that had nearly killed him, and so effortlessly? Was this the strength of a top-tier Innate Divine Beast? It was simply monstrous.

After easily annihilating the Xie Ju Fierce Beast, the Seven-Colored Qilin descended from the air to the ground, its golden flames instantly retracting beneath its hooves. It casually flicked its head at the Xie Ju Fierce Beast, seemingly quite satisfied with its "achievement."

It turned its head to look at Lin Yan and asked, "Hey, are you alright? Did that fierce beast injure you?"

Lin Yan suppressed the shock in his heart and cupped his hands repeatedly towards it, sincerely thanking it. "I am Lin Yan. Thank you, Senior Mo Xuan, for your timely intervention. If Senior had not arrived in time, this junior would likely have met his end at the hands of this fierce beast today." Lin Yan's gratitude was absolutely genuine; this was truly a life-saving grace.

"Haha, what did you call me? Senior? No one has ever called me Senior before. Say it again, let me hear it." The Seven-Colored Qilin ignored Lin Yan's thanks but seemed to relish being called Senior. It looked at Lin Yan expectantly.

"Huh?" Lin Yan didn't react immediately. This tone, it seemed wrong.

"Your Cultivation is only at the Earth Immortal Realm, so calling me Senior is reasonable. Besides, I just saved your life, you're not losing anything by calling me Senior. Quick, quick, say it again. The Seven-Colored Qilin urged, seeing Lin Yan hesitate and look surprised.

"Sen...ior?" Lin Yan said softly.

"Haha, satisfying! Finally, someone is calling me Senior." The Seven-Colored Qilin laughed heartily, looking up at the sky.

"Don't be so formal. Helping those in need when you see injustice is part of my duty as a Senior. Moreover, such fierce beasts defile the world and should be killed on sight. You juniors don't need to feel grateful for this." The Seven-Colored Qilin tried hard to put on an air of a senior expert as it spoke to Lin Yan.

Listening to it speak like this, Lin Yan suddenly felt like laughing. While its words were fine, why did they sound so... childish?

This Seven-Colored Qilin, it really liked imitating adults. Perhaps it was still just a child?
