Immortal-Exterminating Divine Venerable

”Young Master, that man just now... he seemed to be from the Purple Sun Sect.”

After they had walked a short distance, the woman in the purple dress, whose aura was as domineering as thunder, suddenly spoke.

The young man in green robes smiled. ”That’s right. He was Ye Zongling, the chief of the Purple Sun Sect’s Law Enforcement Hall. So, I killed him!”

”Ye Zongling?”

The woman in the purple dress immediately understood.

”Let’s hurry. I can feel a strange change happening underground. If we’re not quick, I’m afraid someone else will get there first!”

”Yes, Young Master!”

Although she had some doubts, the woman in the purple dress didn’t ask any more questions.

Though her aura was tyrannical, looking down on all of creation.

But in front of this seemingly gentle Young Master, she didn’t dare show the slightest impertinence, not even a hint of doubt.

Because he was the Young Master who had given her everything.

...

’Have I reached the bottom?’

Deep underground, Yang Xiao stared at the bubbling magma before him. More importantly, there was no path forward.

And in the next moment, the Earth Fire Qilin Beast appeared in front of him.

It was as ferocious as ever.

Its killing intent toward Yang Xiao surged like a tidal wave.

It glared with a pair of blood-red, bell-sized eyes, looking as if it wanted nothing more than to swallow this fellow whole.

It advanced step by step.

Leaving Yang Xiao with no escape.

’The Fire Elemental Power here is quite abundant. Huh... what’s that!’

Yang Xiao first sensed the surrounding Fire Elemental Power, which gave him a bit of confidence. He felt he could just about fight this ferocious beast.

However, in the middle of sensing his surroundings, his eyes suddenly widened.

His gaze fixed on a spot thirty feet ahead, deep within the churning magma.

There, a small purple blade of grass was growing.

It was absorbing the essence of heaven and earth, growing strong and healthy.

’Divine Communication Grass!’

’It’s actually this thing! A Supreme Treasure! It really is a Supreme Treasure! No wonder this Earth Fire Qilin Beast is so on edge and has been chasing me relentlessly! So there really is a great treasure here!’

Yang Xiao was overjoyed.

But getting distracted at a time like this was clearly a bad idea.

Especially since his gaze was still locked on that small purple grass.

This made the Earth Fire Qilin Beast, which was already seething with rage at him, even more furious.

”ROAR!”

The earth-shaking roar seemed to be a declaration of its sovereignty.

The Earth Fire Qilin Beast abruptly lunged at Yang Xiao.

The fierce gale it kicked up was filled with a scorching heat. And its sharp claws... Yang Xiao had no doubt they could easily tear his Innate Realm body to pieces.

’This beast! It’s getting serious.’

Yang Xiao’s figure flickered. The wings on his back unfurled, growing enormous, and with a light flap, he shot into the air.

He had dodged the Earth Fire Qilin Beast’s pounce.

’This must be this thing’s lair. Otherwise, it wouldn’t be this big.’

If the Earth Fire Qilin Beast knew this human still had the leisure to think about such things, it would probably be even more enraged.

However, although this place wasn’t small, it was still a cave, not the open sky.

Even with wings, Yang Xiao couldn’t fly freely and unleash his top speed.

The space was still too small.

More importantly, the ferocity of the enraged Earth Fire Qilin Beast was simply astonishing; it seemed unstoppable.

’If this goes on, I’ll be caught by this big guy sooner or later!’

He thought about his fragile body being pinned under the beast’s claws.

The result was self-evident.

Yang Xiao’s heart trembled slightly. However, his current situation was far better than before. The Fire Elemental Power here was extremely dense.

’If my Spiritual Power could just advance one small stage to the Observing Micro Middle Stage, I could probably drain all the Fire Elemental Power here in an instant.’

’With a single blow, I might even be able to kill this big guy.’

’Even if I couldn’t kill it, I could still injure it severely.’

But even now, with his Spiritual Power only at the Observing Micro Initial Stage, approaching its Peak but not quite there yet, Yang Xiao felt he stood a fighting chance.

It would be a stretch, though.

But combined with his Innate Realm body, he could unleash power on par with an ordinary 1st Layer Martial Arts Grandmaster.

Just like Ye Zongling from before.

Of course, a single strike definitely wouldn’t be enough to kill this thing.

But if one strike didn’t work, couldn’t he try two?

If two didn’t work, there was always a third, a fourth, a fifth...

Furthermore, the Earth Fire Qilin Beast itself contained a terrifying Flame Power, and his own Fire Control Skill was granted by a Heaven and Earth Origin Flame.

’In a battle of attrition, if its power grows while mine wanes, my victory isn’t guaranteed.’

With this in mind, Yang Xiao raised his hand and jabbed a finger forward.

DING!

The attack struck the seam between the Earth Fire Qilin Beast’s scales.

”ROAR!”

The Earth Fire Qilin Beast roared in pain.

Although this finger jab hadn’t broken through its defense to injure the Earth Fire Qilin Beast, it had made it feel pain.

Its eyes instantly filled with terrifying fury.

DING!

Yang Xiao jabbed his finger again, striking the same spot.

This time, he injured the Earth Fire Qilin Beast, drawing blood.

It was only a few drops, but it sent the beast into a complete rage.

”ROAR!”

This damn human had actually managed to wound it.

Unforgivable!

The thought that this pest had been staring at the purple grass it cherished as its own life made it even more unbearable.

It had to kill him!

The Earth Fire Qilin Beast went berserk.

Its entire body seemed to swell by a full size.

No, it was the flames.

The flames on its surface suddenly surged, making its already massive body look even larger.

One could even see the ink-green Earth Core Poison Fire in the innermost layer of flames, closest to its body.

This was the culmination of several hundred years of refinement.

Not only that, but if one could see beneath its scales, they would discover that the Earth Fire Qilin Beast had also mobilized its Origin True Flame.

It looked like a living, moving mass of fire.

At the same time, the entire inner cavern became unbearably hot.

More importantly, even the air itself began to burn.

And it was laced with a potent poison.

If an ordinary human, even a Martial Arts Grandmaster, were placed in such an environment, they would feel suffocated and have to use their internal energy to block the poisonous flames, greatly reducing their combat effectiveness.

But Yang Xiao was different.

He possessed the Heaven and Earth Origin Fire. Although it was only the lowest level of Heaven and Earth Origin Fire, it was enough to make him immune to any harsh environment caused by dense Fire Elemental Power.

On the contrary, in an environment like this, Yang Xiao’s power became even more terrifying.

Because of his Fire Control Skill.

’Looks like this beast is truly enraged now. But to make it go completely berserk, I need to add a little more fuel to the fire!’

Yang Xiao smiled.

Seeing the Earth Fire Qilin Beast like this, he felt that victory was not far off.

Then, his body blurred into motion.

He lunged toward the spot in the magma where the small purple grass grew.

”ROAR!”

The Earth Fire Qilin Beast let out a world-shaking, heaven-shattering roar.

It was just as Yang Xiao had expected.

It had gone completely berserk with rage!
