Immortal-Exterminating Divine Venerable

’I’ll give it a try! If it really doesn’t work, I’ll just have to use the Nine Revolutions Concentration Spirit Technique again. When the time comes, I’ll control the Qilin True Body. Even if I can’t win, my real body won’t be harmed.’

Yang Xiao suddenly felt that his choice had been incredibly wise.

Although his own aura had dropped from the Peak of Innate Fifth Layer to the Innate Realm First Layer...

...he could now control the Qilin True Body in battle. If he couldn’t win, he still had a chance to escape.

Even if he had no other choice but to use the Nine Revolutions Concentration Spirit Technique, he could use fewer revolutions. With just three or four revolutions, he could control the Qilin True Body and unleash many Divine Techniques that his own body couldn’t.

It felt absolutely incredible.

However, what happened next left him completely stunned.

Just as Yang Xiao summoned the Qilin True Body from within him...

The moment this crimson-purple Qilin phantom emerged from his body, it let out a roar.

An enraged roar.

”ROAR!”

It was as if the White Jade Rhinoceros before it had offended its majesty.

This in itself wasn’t particularly surprising.

After all, the Qilin True Body contained Qilin True Blood. Moreover, Yang Xiao had personally refined it to an extremely high purity, and it had absorbed a vast amount of Heaven and Earth Origin Flame, becoming imbued with the Heaven and Earth Origin Aura.

It was naturally incomparably noble.

Even if its strength was inferior to the mutated White Jade Rhinoceros before it, its bloodline was superior by an unknown, immense degree.

Feeling enraged was normal.

It would have been abnormal if it *wasn’t* enraged.

But the White Jade Rhinoceros’s reaction was what truly astonished Yang Xiao.

Because it fled.

Utterly shameless and without a hint of hesitation, it turned and ran the moment the Qilin True Body appeared.

Its eyes revealed a look of boundless terror.

It was even more terrified than when it had seen the Heaven and Earth Origin Flame earlier.

Yang Xiao was left standing there, dumbfounded.

’What’s going on with this beast?’

Could the Qilin True Body be even nobler than the Heaven and Earth Origin Flame?

That was clearly impossible.

’Could it be...?’

Yang Xiao’s eyes suddenly lit up.

Because he had an idea.

In the beginning of Ancient Times, three particularly powerful creatures were born between heaven and earth. One of them was the Qilin, known as the King of Land Beasts.

And wasn’t this White Jade Rhinoceros a Beast Type Barbaric Beast?

’So that’s how it is. It must be! Looks like things are about to get interesting. This move was absolutely the right one. With this Qilin True Body, as long as I don’t provoke any Tier Five Barbaric Beasts in the Celestial Cloud Mountain Range, what other Barbaric Beast could possibly stand in my way?’

In fact, Yang Xiao was thinking even further. Even a Tier Five Barbaric Beast, as long as it was a Beast Type, he might not be able to kill it...

...but scaring it away shouldn’t be a problem.

And generally, High-tier Barbaric Beasts, more or less, had some Spirit Medicine or treasures in their lairs.

If he planned things right, perhaps his gains over the next five months would be beyond his wildest imagination.

’That’s right! I remember that three hundred li ahead, there’s a Tier Four Middle-grade Barbaric Beast, a Red Flame Snake, guarding a Seventh-Level Upper-Grade Spirit Medicine, the Thousand-leaf Heart-Burning Grass. If I can get its Inner Core and the Spirit Medicine, I can recover at least a tenth of my strength.’

With a thought, Yang Xiao recalled the Qilin True Body. Immediately, a pair of fiery red wings, over a dozen zhang long, condensed behind him.

Clearly, the drop in the realm of his Heaven and Earth Origin Fire had affected him somewhat.

He could originally condense wings that were twenty zhang long, but now they were only fifteen or sixteen zhang. His speed had also dropped from twenty li per flap to fifteen or sixteen li.

The difference wasn’t too great.

However, these losses were nothing compared to gaining a Qilin True Body comparable to a Tier Four Middle-grade Barbaric Beast.

Besides, a distance of three hundred li could be covered in an instant.

It would only take twenty flaps of his wings, less than half a quarter-hour, to arrive.

Yang Xiao’s appearance immediately alerted the Red Flame Snake.

The Red Flame Snake was coiled up, forming a fiery red hill about ten meters high. It flicked its tongue, which was over a meter long, its crimson eyes locked onto Yang Xiao.

Beside it was the Thousand-leaf Heart-Burning Grass, which was about to mature and ready to be picked.

A rich fragrance wafted out from it.

Many nearby Barbaric Beasts had already been drawn over by the scent.

Of course, most of these were Tier Three Barbaric Beasts, or Tier Four Barbaric Beasts weaker than the Red Flame Snake. Otherwise, they would have already defeated the snake and become the masters of this place.

But they all had one thing in common: regardless of their strength, they were all of the Fire Attribute.

That was Yang Xiao’s favorite kind.

”Qilin True Body, go!”

Without hesitation, Yang Xiao directly released the Qilin True Body.

It pounced toward the Red Flame Snake.

His actions were bold and domineering, without the slightest hint of scheming or holding back.

Yang Xiao wanted to test the true capabilities of his Qilin True Body.

Naturally, he had to go all out.

When the Red Flame Snake saw the crimson-purple Qilin True Body pouncing at it, it was also startled.

This was especially true because its opponent exuded a superior aura and possessed the Qilin Bloodline. Although the Red Flame Snake was not considered part of the Beast Race...

...it belonged to the scaled and armored type of Barbaric Beast.

...but when faced with a Qilin True Body that possessed the Heaven and Earth Origin Aura, it was still frightened to its very soul.

It couldn’t even exert thirty percent of its full strength.

In a single strike, the Qilin True Body bit down on its throat.

Killing it instantly.

Immediately after, the Qilin True Body grew enormous and, in one gulp, swallowed the snake’s several-dozen-meter-long body whole.

Instantly, the Qilin True Body, which had appeared quite weak before, became somewhat more solid.

Its aura, in addition to being noble and domineering, now carried a trace of ferocity.

”Haha, it’s too powerful!”

Seeing the surrounding Barbaric Beasts, whether they were Tier Three or Tier Four, trembling in fear without any will to fight...

...with only two Tier Four Middle-grade Barbaric Beasts barely managing to escape...

...Yang Xiao felt extremely satisfied.

’With this kind of power, I’ll be able to do whatever I want in the Celestial Cloud Mountain Range from now on.’

’It can kill Tier Four Middle-grade Barbaric Beasts... so what about Tier Four Upper Grade?’

Yang Xiao’s gaze drifted far into the distance.

Of course, he didn’t let the ones before him go to waste either.

After killing all the Tier Three and Tier Four Barbaric Beasts, the Qilin True Body instantly became a bit more solid and ferocious—a result of devouring their flesh and Essence Qi.

As for Yang Xiao, he obtained thirteen Tier Three Upper-Grade Beast Cores. Seven of them came from Tier Three Dominator-level Barbaric Beasts, just like the Fire Python, and the Fire Elemental Power within them was over fifty percent better than the other six.

Furthermore, there were four Tier Four Low Grade Beast Cores, and the Red Flame Snake’s Tier Four Middle-grade Inner Core.

Eighteen in total.

Every single one was no less valuable than a Sixth-Level Upper-Grade Spirit Medicine.

’With these Inner Cores, plus the Thousand-leaf Heart-Burning Grass, I can probably recover directly to the Early-Orange Flame Peak!’

Yang Xiao let out a sly chuckle.

His first attempt had yielded such a great harvest.

And there were still five months to go.

’What level will I reach in these five months?’

Yang Xiao’s heart was filled with anticipation.
