On Yi Mountain, a purple Qilin came striding through the heavens and stood above the clouds, its gaze cold and merciless as it looked down upon the myriad beings below.
This was one of Shi Yi's spirit bodies, here to pluck the fruit that belonged to him.
Yi Mountain's Venerables had all gone out to contest the Ten Fiends Treasure Technique and the Ten Fiends Divine Treasury, forging a great karmic debt with Shi Yi. Now retribution had arrived: an invincible spirit body had descended to reap this place.
Boom!
The Qilin's horn shone, piercing the Yi Mountain Grand Formation in an instant. Between heaven and earth, winds and clouds shifted, laws trembled wildly, and chaos mist spread.
Yi Mountain revealed itself in full. It was vast, with towering divine mountains rising one after another, essence gathering into clouds, and spirit springs cascading into waterfalls. Auspicious birds and beasts could be seen everywhere. It was sacred, like an immortal paradise.
The Qilin spirit body's destruction of the formation shook all of Yi Mountain. Every creature stared in shock at the enormous figure in the sky.
"A Qilin?"
"Heavens! The Qilin, one of the Ten Fiends, has actually returned to the world!"
Many pure-blooded creatures cried out, stunned by Shi Yi's Qilin spirit body.
But immediately, powerful beings stepped forward, their faces pale as they corrected them.
"That is a creature's spirit body, not the return of one of the Ten Fiends!"
Shi Yi ignored the chattering below. His purpose was clear, and he headed straight for Yi Mountain's treasury.
He moved far too quickly, laying down purple Qilin Steps one after another through the void.
Countless restrictions lined the way, but Shi Yi's Qilin spirit body ignored them all and stormed through.
"How dare you!"
A great shout rang
