Chapter 907: Chapter 906 [Divine Beast—Fire Qilin]

In the second layer of the Flame Valley’s Fire Domain, there were even beasts cultivating and absorbing such demon fire, which was truly unbelievable. What kind of origin did this beast have, and how powerful had it become?

While Ye Tianchen was dazed, the beast suddenly turned its head to look at him. Ye Tianchen was startled and instinctively used the ”Bone Transformation Skill,” transforming himself into a rock nearby. When the beast turned around, Ye Tianchen almost exclaimed and exposed himself because this beast looked exactly like the legendary Fire Qilin.

The Fire Qilin, a mythical beast enveloped in flames, extremely fierce, and born with great strength. It could fly through the air, crush the heavens and earth underfoot, roar mountains and rivers asunder, and was a naturally powerful demon beast comparable to dragons, the legendary immortal beasts.

Never in his wildest dreams did Ye Tianchen expect that the beast cultivating in the second layer of the Flame Valley’s Fire Domain would be the legendary Fire Qilin. If the Fire Qilin truly existed, could dragons, the immemorial immortal beasts, also exist? If immortal beasts really did exist, could one study these creatures so that martial artists might find a path to eternal life?

As the Fire Qilin turned, Ye Tianchen used the power of the ”Bone Transformation Skill” to become a nearby scorched rock. Though almost overwhelmed with excitement, he did not forget to observe the Fire Qilin closely. This was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. The Fire Qilin is immensely savage, a born King Beast, and no one can approach it. If not for accidentally stumbling into the second layer of Flame Valley, Ye Tianchen wouldn’t have had the chance to see this legendary king among mythical beasts.

The Fire Qilin wasn’t particularly large, and its qilin horn was somewhat short. However, the fire occasionally bursting from its eyes ripped through the void, and the fire clouds beneath its four paws were its power for aerial flight. Ye Tianchen couldn’t comprehend how strong this young Fire Qilin truly was. He knew that even in its youth, no one across Earth’s Three Ancient Martial Worlds could challenge it. Yet, he wondered why it never left the Fire Pond. Perhaps this was its best cultivation place, and it would only leave once it matured.

The Fire Qilin turned its gaze towards Ye Tianchen, surprisingly stepping towards the rock he had become, causing a cold sweat to break out on him. Despite its youth, the Fire Qilin possessed the power to dominate the world. Being discovered would mean certain death, and thus Ye Tianchen dared not move, knowing he couldn’t escape and had to remain calm.

Unexpectedly, when the Fire Qilin reached the rock Ye Tianchen had transformed into, it sniffed it twice with its fiery-red eyes and then lay beside it, seemingly to sleep. This meant Ye Tianchen was in close proximity to the Fire Qilin, where one careless move could lead to an attack by the beast. He knew he shouldn’t provoke this natural divine beast, even in its youth. Better to wait until it fell asleep before carefully retreating.

For an entire day and night, Ye Tianchen never closed his eyes. Even though the young Fire Qilin slept, he didn’t dare to rest, as the Qilin’s vigilance was immense. If it discovered him, Ye Tianchen was sure to die.

The Fire Qilin radiated firelight, its body wrapped in flames that were awe-inspiring. Like a fire elf, everything it passed became a sea of fire. With its natural divine power, it could reign over the heavenly vault. This made Ye Tianchen wonder if the Fire Qilin were to battle the Red Lotus Demon from the Fire Dragon Pond, who would be more formidable? Both were rulers and spirits of fire, and surely the battle would ignite across the heavenly vault!

In the dead of night, Ye Tianchen gradually dispelled the ”Bone Transformation Skill,” reverting to his original form. He glanced at the young Fire Qilin sleeping soundly beside him and prepared to leave. Discovery meant certain doom.

However, just as Ye Tianchen was about to depart, he heard a faint sound from the Fire Pond, his curiosity piqued. He moved a hundred meters towards the Fire Pond. Upon reaching its edge, he was shocked to see several fire elves leaping inside. These fire elves appeared to have life and spiritual sense, immensely powerful, far superior to the surrounding flames by hundreds of times.

Frowning, Ye Tianchen focused his mind and summoned the ”Fire God Gourd” from his dantian. This was given to him by Tianshuang, the treasure of the Heavenly Number Mysterious Sect, meant for Ye Tianchen’s protection. Now, Ye Tianchen was going to collect the divine fire from the Fire Pond in the second layer of Flame Valley. Such divine fire was excellent for crafting divine weapons and a potent slaughter skill. Having reached this point, surviving against great odds, it would be a shame to leave without taking some of it.

After thinking of this, Ye Tianchen focused his mind, silently reciting the formula Tianshuang had taught him, and opened the lid of the ”Fire God Gourd.” Instantly, powerful flames were absorbed into the gourd. About an hour later, Ye Tianchen felt it was about enough and stopped up the mouth of the gourd. Without a moment’s pause, he disappeared, not daring to provoke the Fire Qilin. Even the smallest Fire Qilin at birth is formidable, needing at least Martial Saint Realm cultivation battle power to handle, let alone this young Fire Qilin who has been cultivating here for who knows how long and can already freely control the Divine Fire, its power unimaginable.

After collecting the Divine Fire from the Fire Pond in the second layer Fire Domain of Flame Valley, Ye Tianchen quickly returned to Dongfang Meng’s side. At this time, Dongfang Meng was no longer on the brink of death, having restored significant vitality, and the mysterious seal in her dantian had also been broken. Ye Tianchen did not say much and took the still semi-conscious Dongfang Meng into the ”Holy Heaven Prison” for protection, heading towards the first layer Fire Domain of Flame Valley, wondering if the dwarf old guy was still waiting there, and whether the martial artists at the outskirts of Flame Valley were still waiting for him, Ye Tianchen, to be gravely injured so they could make a move.

At this moment, in the first layer Fire Domain of Flame Valley, the dwarf old guy was trembling with anger. Three days and nights had passed, and he remained there, even though he knew with certainty that Ye Tianchen had been pushed into the second layer Fire Domain and had no hope of survival, surely reduced to ashes. Yet, he felt a bit unwilling and regretful, as he had not obtained Ye Tianchen’s cultivation treasure and mysterious artifact, feeling indignant.

Thus, three days and nights passed, and the dwarf old guy still stayed at the first layer Fire Domain of Flame Valley, hoping to find a way into the second layer. Even if Ye Tianchen was dead, and he couldn’t get the cultivation treasure, there were still the Ancient Divine Sword and the mysterious artifact ”Holy Heaven Prison,” which anyone would want. Unfortunately, the dwarf old guy had tried many times, but even with his Late Martial Venerate peak cultivation and a mysterious bead protecting him, he could not enter the second layer Fire Domain, being repelled each time at the entrance, the heart-wrenching burning sensation making him afraid to try again.

”You little bastard, you got off too easy, dying just like that. Damn it!” The dwarf old guy looked at the entrance of the second layer Fire Domain, trembling with anger.

”Old bastard, since you don’t want to let me off easy, let me end you!”

With a boom, Ye Tianchen rushed out from the second layer Fire Domain, saying nothing and striking towards the dwarf old guy, who was startled, never imagining Ye Tianchen would come out from the second layer Fire Domain of Flame Valley. Wasn’t this akin to becoming another Master Fang Zheng?

Boom!

A scorching Flame Palm struck towards the dwarf old guy, who paused for a moment but quickly reacted, shaking the Divine-locking Chain in his hand, bringing forth a powerful Divine Rune that met Ye Tianchen’s palm, neutralizing its power.

”Little brat, didn’t expect you to still be alive, to come out alive, quite impressive!” The dwarf old guy said, glaring fiercely at Ye Tianchen.

”There are more things you didn’t expect, old bastard. I no longer need to expend Martial Arts True Power to protect myself. The first layer Fire Domain of Flame Valley no longer affects me. Earlier my cultivation realm couldn’t be fully utilized, but now... let’s see!”

Ye Tianchen was decisive in slaughter, and the battle prowess of the dwarf old guy was terrifying. After reconstructing his physical body, Ye Tianchen found he was no longer afraid of the flames in the first layer Fire Domain, no longer felt the threat of being incinerated. This time, he could go all out; it wasn’t just an option but a necessity, as the dwarf old guy wouldn’t let him go, and beyond the outskirts of Flame Valley, there were still a crowd of people watching like tigers eyeing prey. Ye Tianchen had no choice but to fight his way out, clearing a bloody path, creating a situation where he and Dongfang Meng could leave safely and unharmed! (To be continued.
