Chapter 1402: Chapter 229: The Present World, Eight-tailed Inheritance
"You killed him?" At this moment, both Ye Beiming and Yun Sheng were utterly exhausted.
As for Hei Yao’s death, there was nothing they could do.
"If he didn’t die, how could I become the Hei Qilin Clan Leader." Dugu Xiu’s face was ice-cold, as if the person he’d killed wasn’t his own biological father.
"Even if he didn’t die, the position of Hei Qilin Clan Leader would still belong to you and no one else. Don’t tell me you still don’t know, even now, that there’s not the slightest relation between me and Hei Yao." Ye Beiming felt little sympathy over Hei Yao’s death; it was just that Hei Yao’s appearance had helped them resolve the crisis of the Divine Soldiers and Generals.
For that, he was still grateful.
"Hahaha, at a time like this, what’s the point of quibbling over such things. All who should die are dead already; now it’s your turn." The High Priest let out a scalp-numbing laugh, his gaze falling on Ye Beiming and Yun Sheng.
"High Priest, I’ve already said it, I’m not Ye Xiu, and I won’t fuse the Qilin King Relics and Qilin King Heart to help Ye Xiu be reborn." Yun Sheng’s presence made Ye Beiming’s resolve all the firmer.
The blood flowing from the wounds on their hands was warm, and their heartbeats had formed a shared rhythm.
What Ye Beiming said was exactly what Yun Sheng wanted to say.
"The reason you refuse to become Ye Xiu is that lowborn Heavenly Fox bitch at your side. Fine, since that’s the case, I’ll make you completely give up!" At this moment, a sudden change occurred.
The High Priest suddenly vanished.
High above the forbidden land, a black Shadow with a ruined, hideous face appeared. He looked incomparably sinister, his entire body shrouded in Evil Qi.
He spread his great hand, vast as a mountain. The giant hand tore through the air, forcibly separating Yun Sheng and Ye Beiming.
Yun Sheng was scooped into that giant palm. In an instant, she felt as if her Magic Soul had been frozen stiff, unable to move.
"Let her go!"
The High Priest’s fingers bent slightly, and that cage-like giant hand instantly made Yun Sheng’s limbs creak and groan.
There was the sound of fabric tearing.
"You dare!"
"High Priest!"
Ye Beiming and Dugu Xiu both felt their Souls jolt.
They both knew that if the High Priest exerted just a little more strength, Yun Sheng’s body might explode.
Just thinking of Yun Sheng dying miserably made both their hearts twist as if slashed by knives.
"High Priest, what are you still hesitating for, kill that bitch. It’s her; again and again she’s obstructed Ye Xiu’s rebirth!" Yu Shang was watching in high excitement, wishing she could see Yun Sheng torn to pieces, her body and head separated.
"Ye Beiming, listen carefully. I order you to step into the Magic Array right now and fuse the Qilin King’s Heart and Qilin King Relics. If you hesitate for one breath, I’ll snap her hand; if you hesitate for one moment, I’ll twist off her head. Such a ******** great beauty—I’d really hate to ruin such a flower with my own hands." The High Priest’s tone was icy and sinister.
As the Shadow of the Ancient Qilin King, the High Priest’s strength was almost on par with Ye Xiu’s at his peak.
Not to mention, after thousands of years of accumulation, the High Priest had used the Beast God Altar to obtain much mysterious, unfathomable energy.
"Ye Huli, don’t agree to his terms." Yun Sheng forced herself to endure the pain like every bone in her body was shattering, and let out a muffled groan.
If Ye Huli stepped into that Magic Array, she would truly lose him.
"Ye Beiming, why aren’t you doing as he says, do you want to get her killed!" Dugu Xiu rushed forward like an enraged lion.
"Get lost." Ye Beiming roared, forcing out a breath with difficulty.
"Little Wildcat, I’m sorry, this time I’m going to break my word." He couldn’t bear to watch the Little Wildcat be humiliated and tortured by the High Priest like this.
Ye Beiming strode resolutely toward the Ancient Magic Array.
"No!" Yun Sheng used up the last of her Qi Power, shouting herself hoarse.
"Troublesome woman, go die." Seeing that Ye Beiming had already stepped into the Magic Array, the High Priest’s eyes reddened and his great hand clenched.
Yet just as he was about to act, a powerful surge of Magic Power erupted from within Yun Sheng’s body.
"You old bastard, did you really think you alone could kill me!"
That ice-cold, bone-piercing voice made the High Priest’s entire body stiffen.
His fingers were pried open one by one.
Bang— a ball of light exploded, so bright the High Priest couldn’t open his eyes.
By the time he opened them again, Yun Sheng was already several feet away.
But was she... still Yun Sheng?
It was a sacred and pure aura.
The High Priest, Ye Beiming, and everyone else present, including Dugu Xiu, all felt that surge of power.
In the sky, Yun Sheng’s blood-soaked clothes were dyed crimson; cracking sounds came from within her body.
Shattered bones were constantly knitting back together, and wounds that had been bleeding nonstop were sealing over.
"That is—!"
Yu Shang’s heart suddenly trembled; her gaze locked onto Yun Sheng.
At this moment, Yun Sheng’s bloodstained clothes had vanished. On her body was a suit of battle armor as pure white as ice and snow. Right now Yun Sheng looked like a female war goddess clad in Ancient Divine Armor.
The cold wind in the forbidden land lifted her long hair, revealing a face purer than snow, more flawless than fine jade.
In that moment, everyone’s breathing stopped.
In that moment, Yun Sheng’s beauty could topple all living beings, pure and immaculate. Behind her, eight Fox Tails were strikingly conspicuous.
Even the likes of Yu Shang and Hei Linlin paled into insignificance before her.
"Impossible, how could she break through at a time like this. That is... that’s the Divine Armor condensed from the Eight-tailed Heavenly Fox Inheritance. She actually, actually broke through—no, that’s impossible." Yu Shang muttered to herself, staring at Yun Sheng as if seeing the most inconceivable thing in the world.
No one had expected that the Eight-tailed Heavenly Fox Inheritance, which Yun Sheng had struggled with for months without success, would actually be forcefully broken through by her at this exact moment.
This woman was like a legend—no matter when, she would always find life in a dead end.
The High Priest’s bloodshot eyes were fixed on Yun Sheng, as if he saw another Shadow upon her.
Many years ago, there had also been a woman clad in Heavenly Fox Divine Armor, standing at the summit of the continent.
That face, that aura, were exactly the same.
For a moment, the High Priest couldn’t tell whether the person before him was Yun Sheng, or the Hu Yan who should have died thousands of years ago.
"Sky Fox Relics—your body contains Hu Yan’s Sky Fox Relics. You are Hu Yan!" There was a hint of madness in the High Priest’s voice. "But so what if you are Hu Yan, hahaha, Ye Xiu hated you to the bone. Once that man becomes Ye Xiu, the first thing he’ll do is kill you!"
"Oh? There’s really no way to turn that around? I don’t think so." A faint smile appeared on Yun Sheng’s face.
With that, she looked toward the Magic Array. In a flash, her figure flickered and she shot toward the Magic Array.
But when the High Priest finally saw clearly what Yun Sheng was doing, a look of terror spread across his hideous face.
