Chapter 483 - 402 Ink Qilin
“What is going on?!”
Sensing the ground shaking, the many Star Beasts in the Five Mountains awoke instantly, all looking up at the sky.
In the center of the Five Mountains, a black shadow shot up into the sky, heading straight for Su Yuan!
Su Yuan glanced down. “Broken Space.”
“Bang!”
The black shadow collided heavily with the Broken Void Wall, causing the entire wall to tremble violently, resembling a spider web as it spread out in large cracks.
And the one crashing into the Broken Space was none other than the Ink Qilin from before.
“Roar!”
The Ink Qilin let out a loud roar, its dark patterns fluctuating as its strength surged instantly, suddenly breaking through the Broken Void Wall and rushing toward Su Yuan.
Using only its body, it broke through the Broken Space wall on the second try. Simply astonishing!
It should be known that even Sagittarius needed two arrows to pierce the Broken Void Wall!
Seeing the Ink Qilin about to rush close, a flash of Water Light appeared, and Ruan Ruan, having transformed into the Royal Court Naga, swung the Water Mirror Sword in a slash.
“Clang!”
The Water Mirror Sword struck the shoulder of the Ink Qilin, but Ruan Ruan was forced half a step back by the incredible force.
“This big black guy is a bit tough!”
Ruan Ruan was slightly surprised. The Ink Qilin broke the Broken Void Wall, so its strength should have been greatly diminished. Yet as a B-rank strength adept Naga, she couldn’t compete?
“As expected of the Ink Qilin,” Su Yuan thought to himself above.
The Qilin family also had species distinctions.
The Golden Qilin, Water Qilin, and the like were numerous and common, circulating to the present time.
Among the many purebred Qilins, the rarest and most unique were two types—the Ink Qilin and Shining Qilin.
The Ink Qilin excelled in physical strength, ranking among the top in all species in ancient times.
The Shining Qilin excelled in magic, similar to the Three-legged Golden Crow, was an extremely powerful Astral Beast in magic.
Although the birth forms of Star Beasts were varied and not entirely dependent on reproduction,
the Ink Qilin and Shining Qilin became extinct in ancient times.
At this moment, as the Ink Qilin charged upward, a variety of lights from the Five Mountains surged into the sky.
In a moment, nearly twenty Shining Star Beasts, including Epic Grade Heavenly Red-eyed Qilin and Xingtian Thunder Beast, surrounded Su Yuan and Ruan Ruan.
“Roar! Roar!”
The Ink Qilin roared at Ruan Ruan, as if saying something.
Su Yuan couldn’t understand, but Ruan Ruan seemed to get it, translating for Su Yuan via thoughts.
The gist was to make Su Yuan and the others stop, as this would cause the Star Veins to separate and the Star Power here to decline!
In reality, it was the powerful intuition of the Ink Qilin that sensed Su Yuan’s extraordinariness that made it speak.
In the New Dust Realm, there were no humans, and naturally no Demon Beasts transforming into humans.
While the Ink Qilin didn’t understand the concept of “humans,” it knew that creatures like Su Yuan didn’t belong here.
“I have to take this Wolf Vein with me,” Su Yuan said, ignoring the Ink Qilin’s words.
Su Yuan knew that to extract the Star Vein, he must inevitably oppose the indigenous Star Beasts of the New Dust Realm.
From their perspective, all intruders were enemies.
They appeared to be the “villain.”
In fact, this was the inevitable result of the New Dust Realm’s accelerated growth and subsequent exposure.
There was no right or wrong, only different positions and camps.
If Blue Sea Star attracted other worlds’ attention and was weak, it would face the same fate.
Ruan Ruan translated: “Squeak! Squeak! Squeak!”
“Roar!!”
The Ink Qilin and the surrounding Star Beasts were enraged.
Blocking someone’s path was akin to murdering their parents.
The Wolf Vein was the chance for all Star Beasts here to break limits and reach the Upper Realm. How could they let Su Yuan extract it?
Led by the Ink Qilin, numerous Star Beasts erupted with Star Power and charged.
“Besiege?” Ruan Ruan hummed, “Sea and Sky Realm!”
The water-colored ripples rapidly spread from Ruan Ruan, reactivating the Sea and Sky Realm and instantly engulfing all the surrounding Star Beasts.
In a moment, all the Star Beasts saw the sky and ground reversed, filled with an indescribable energy throughout the Domain.
Su Yuan’s figure flickered as he raised the Pulse Drawing Bead, escaping the Sea and Sky Realm.
Although the Shining Star Beasts didn’t know what happened, seeing Su Yuan still extracting the Star Vein left them no time to speculate. They all attacked the central Ruan Ruan.
Instantly, Spirit Light Bursts and explosions, incessant roars, and all sorts of fierce attacks emerged endlessly!
Yet, not only did these Star Beasts fail to attack Ruan Ruan, their attacks led to mutual destruction, resulting in continuous screams of pain.
Even two unlucky Star Beasts were immediately killed by the chaotic attacks!
This was the Sea and Sky Realm; up was down, front was back, each direction controlled freely.
Simply fearless of being besieged!
“Roar!”
The Ink Qilin’s voice drowned out all Star Beasts. At its command, all Star Beasts activated defensive skills, remaining vigilant and stopping.
The Ink Qilin realized that more people would only add to the chaos. It was better to kill Ruan Ruan alone.
As if understanding the Ink Qilin’s plan, Ruan Ruan suddenly retreated swiftly, keeping a distance.
Trying to escape!
At the sight, the Ink Qilin charged alone!
Midway through its charge, the Ink Qilin saw Ruan Ruan sneer. Instantly realizing something, a premonition flashed, prompting it to act.
Just then, the Ink Qilin felt a pain on its left side, with some black-red blood flying up.
Moments ago distant, Ruan Ruan suddenly appeared near the Ink Qilin, slashing a wound on its side!
It was the Sea and Sky Realm that altered the Ink Qilin’s perception. Ruan Ruan had seemed to retreat but had actually approached with a sword.
Though the wound was not deep and immediately began to scab, it angered the long-uninjured Ink Qilin!
The Ink Qilin turned and leaped, almost catching up to Ruan Ruan, raising its claw to smash her down!
But Ruan Ruan remained calm, transforming into the Golden Winged Thunder Roc and swiftly escaping left in a flash of Thunder Light.
“Roar!!”
The Ink Qilin let out an angry roar. Black rays flowed on its arm, striking at the left-flashing Ruan Ruan.
Recalling the opponent’s Illusion Technique, the Ink Qilin suddenly clawed to its right.
Qilin Arm·Sky-tearing Claw!
With a swipe, five massive Black Gangs tore through Space towards Ruan Ruan’s symmetrical position.
But instead of the expected scene of tearing the target, the left-flashing Ruan Ruan was untouched. Surrounding her, a surge of Thunder Light, dense golden currents entangled and flowed on her wings!
“Thunder Radiant Golden Slash!”
Ruan Ruan’s eyes focused as she slashed at the Ink Qilin like a golden crescent in an instant!
Blood splattered!
This was the Epic Skill of the Golden Winged Thunder Roc. For ordinary Shining Star Beasts, this strike would cleave them in half.
Yet the Ink Qilin’s black skin, like steel, was merely deeply scratched!
“This big black guy, so tough!…” Ruan Ruan reverted to human form, biting her silver teeth and rubbing her now aching arm.
Slashing the Ink Qilin as the Golden Winged Thunder Roc hurt herself instead.
The Ink Qilin’s eyes reddened, becoming violent!
Ignoring the self-healing wound, it was enraged by the repeated “playing” by its opponent!
In the Sea and Sky Realm, all senses, sound, and direction were inverted. Ruan Ruan could even choose not to “reverse” each move.
Just then, Ruan Ruan canceled the inversion. The Ink Qilin, using previous experience, attacked oppositely, missing and being wounded.
Now seeing the Ink Qilin’s aura nearly unchanged, Ruan Ruan knew she hadn’t dealt a significant blow. Unwilling to clash with the iron-bodied Ink Qilin,
she turned her golden eyes, planning to disrupt the battlefield.
If they planned to stay calm, she wouldn’t let them!
After thinking, Ruan Ruan split into three clones, attacking the defensive Star Beasts!
Initially, the Star Beasts, thinking these were ordinary clones, heeded the Ink Qilin’s command and stayed defensive.
Yet the Divide and Conquer clones weren’t ordinary ones; activating Epic Skills like Rushing River Armor, Three Heads and Six Arms, and Super Giantization, overwhelmed the Star Beasts!
With two Star Beasts quickly blown apart by the all-out Ruan Ruan, the remaining ones couldn’t hold, and the Sea and Sky Realm fell into chaos.
Skills spread everywhere, attacking in all directions…
