Chapter 217: Battle with Qilin
After being nourished by the aura of the Heaven-Mending Divine Pill, the spiritual herb seed will break free from the limitations of its race. After countless years of growth, it may be able to break through the limitations of the Great Luo Golden Immortal transformation and grow into a Primordial Golden Immortal, or even a Primordial Great Luo Golden Immortal.
Any kind of spiritual medicine can grow into a sacred spiritual fruit, but the possibility of this is extremely small.
Not only does it need to be nourished by the aura of the Heaven-Mending Divine Pill, but it also needs to coexist with a strange beast with a chaotic bloodline. During its growth, it needs the blood energy of the strange beast with a chaotic bloodline to constantly nourish it.
The guardian of the spirit tree is a mythical beast resembling a Qilin, which is also a strange creature that coexists with the spirit herbs.
The Qilin glared majestically at the intruders. Zhao Xuan knew a tough battle was inevitable. He signaled everyone to summon their war beasts again.
Just as the Qilin let out that deafening roar, the entire space seemed to shake and tremble!
In an instant, hundreds of strange beasts of various shapes and exuding a terrifying aura appeared out of thin air around the Qilin like ghosts.
The group of strange beasts that had charged forward earlier had miraculously come back to life and returned to the battlefield.
Upon closer inspection, everyone discovered that the newly emerged beasts were far more powerful than the previous ones!
Among them were six top-tier exotic beasts that had reached the level of Hunyuan Daluo Jinxian. They were surrounded by a heart-palpitating light, and each of them exuded a terrifying pressure that was enough to destroy the world.
In addition, there are as many as 150 strange beasts at the level of Hunyuan Golden Immortal, and 380 strange beasts at the level of Daluo Golden Immortal. These strange beasts are also not to be underestimated, as their bodies are surging with powerful energy fluctuations.
Such a powerful lineup of alien beasts far exceeded everyone's expectations. Faced with such an almost invincible opponent, the five of them did not feel much fear.
Now that things have come to this, there's no turning back; there's absolutely no room for retreat or escape!
The five of them immediately reached a consensus.
A series of deep roars echoed through the sky, and then forty-one powerful war beasts, all at the level of Hunyuan Daluo Jinxian, suddenly appeared in mid-air.
At the same time, five dazzling phantoms appeared one after another: the first one was an enormous golden bell phantom, with a deep and resonant bell sound faintly echoing in the air.
The second one was a golden, shimmering phantom image, covered with mysterious runes and exuding an endless aura of profound mystery;
The third item was a phantom image of an incomparably sharp golden dragon scissors, radiating a chilling light that sent shivers down one's spine.
The fourth was a fierce, howling golden phantom, with a raging gale that sent sand and stones flying wherever it passed.
The last one was a crystal-clear phantom of a spiritual pearl, shimmering with spiritual light, like a dream.
The phantom of the spirit pearl was the first to act. It quickly established a close connection with the twelve strange beasts, and then sped off like an arrow towards the direction where the Qilin was.
The Golden Bucket Illusion, the Golden Dragon Scissors Illusion, and the Golden Wind Illusion each responded and cooperated with the eight strange beasts to deal with the five strange beasts at the level of Hunyuan Daluo Golden Immortal, the one hundred and fifty evil strange beasts at the level of Hunyuan Golden Immortal, and the three hundred and eighty strange beasts at the level of Daluo Golden Immortal.
The golden bell phantom that followed closely behind was not to be outdone. After successfully connecting with the five strange beasts, it had no room to maneuver on the battlefield and could only escape outside the formation. However, streams of energy were secretly gathering, ready to seize the opportunity to unleash earth-shattering power at any moment.
As for why there were no beasts below the level of Great Luo Golden Immortal, it was simply because their strength was too weak and they were not qualified to participate in this fierce battle.
However, it took a full hundred years for the other mythical beasts, apart from the Qilin, to be completely eradicated.
These mythical beasts were so deeply influenced by the aura of the Qilin that they disregarded gains and losses when fighting.
Once they die, they can quickly revive and throw themselves back into the fierce battle without hesitation.
Even more astonishingly, the laws within this space were also greatly influenced by the Qilin, its effect being akin to the supreme Heavenly Dao of a realm.
The true spirits of those strange beasts do not reside in the Heavenly Dao of the Divine Realm, but are completely dependent on this small world controlled by the Qilin.
As a result, even though these strange beasts are in the external environment, it is difficult for them to fully exert their inherent power, and even resurrection becomes extremely difficult.
However, within the small world, they can unleash their full combat power.
This is the key to why such a small world could produce so many powerful beasts.
This is because the Qilin has firmly grasped the operating rules of this world, thus greatly reducing the difficulty and threshold for the growth of the mythical beasts.
However, as a price, these strange beasts are bound to this faction and cannot break free.
One of the key reasons why it took a full century to successfully eliminate those strange beasts was that these beasts were always under the strict control of the Qilin, and could continuously resurrect, which brought great obstacles and challenges to eliminating them.
The four of them knew very well that as long as they successfully sealed these ferocious beasts, they would be able to firmly control their resurrection.
However, achieving this goal is by no means easy.
First, the sealing process was extremely difficult because these beasts were deeply influenced by the Qilin. Even after their consciousness was sealed, the terrifyingly powerful Qilin still had the ability to manipulate them into self-destruction, after which they would be reborn.
That Qilin's cultivation level had reached the level of a Primordial Taiji Golden Immortal, and its power was beyond imagination. It even controlled a small world of its own.
No one knows how many hidden tricks and secret techniques it still has.
Therefore, for the time being, everyone wanted to deplete his energy as much as possible and prevent the Qilin from feeling threatened.
As time went by, these strange beasts were repeatedly killed, only to miraculously revive time and time again.
Each death and rebirth consumes a large amount of the power controlled by the Qilin.
After a century of fierce fighting, Zhao Xuan and his companions keenly realized this crucial point. Therefore, they did not rush to try to seal these untamable beasts at first.
However, it is clear that after a similarly long and protracted war, the Qilin seems to have gradually realized that its own power is being constantly depleted due to the frequent resurrection of the mythical beasts.
Therefore, it had to begin reducing the resurrection frequency of those alien beasts in order to preserve its strength. Just then, Zhao Xuan and his companions noticed this change and decisively decided to begin implementing their plan to seal these alien beasts.
It is worth mentioning that Zhao Xuan possesses five powerful war beasts that have also reached the Hunyuan level.
For the past hundred years, he had not allowed these five war beasts to participate in battles, but instead carefully arranged for them to continuously accumulate energy, always ready to fully support his four companions.
However, as it turned out, Zhao Xuan had greatly underestimated the true strength of his companions.
Despite the difference in their skill levels, all four of them are seasoned veterans with extensive experience.
If these war beasts weren't all disposable items, meaning they would be out of control once they died, this fierce battle would probably have ended long ago.
Those hundreds of strange beasts had all been reborn multiple times, but surprisingly, not a single one of the war beasts had been lost!
Zhao Gongming was even more outstanding. With his twelve battle beasts at the level of Hunyuan Daluo Golden Immortal, he waged a fierce battle against the Qilin, which was at the level of Hunyuan Taiji Daluo Golden Immortal, for a period of a hundred years.
During this time, the Qilin even died once in battle, yet the twelve battle beasts at the level of Grand Luo Golden Immortals remained unharmed. Such miraculous control is something that ordinary people could hardly imagine even if they racked their brains.
Below the level of Grand Luo Golden Immortal, the stable spacetime laws of the Divine Realm are like an unbreakable shackle, tightly binding cultivators.
Therefore, the difference in their levels of attainment is usually only around tenfold.
However, once one crosses the threshold to the level of a Grand Luo Golden Immortal or higher, the situation changes drastically. At this point, the powerful beings begin to struggle to break free from the shackles of the laws of space and time, resulting in a dramatic increase in the difference in their cultivation levels, sometimes reaching a hundredfold in an instant!
This is why, despite having only fifteen Grand Luo Immortals of Hunyuan, the Lingbao Dao Sect was able to suppress hundreds of Grand Luo Immortals of Hunyuan in the Destruction God Realm and run rampant there.
Because the four true disciples and the four outer disciples are all blessed with array seals at the level of Hunyuan Taiji Golden Immortal, and the seven attendant immortals are also blessed with powerful physiques brought by their innate true spirits.
Zhao Gongming was an outstanding figure among them. With only twelve battle beasts under his command at the level of Hunyuan Daluo Golden Immortal, he dared to directly challenge the Qilin at the level of Hunyuan Taiji Daluo Golden Immortal. Not only did he not suffer any damage himself, but he was also able to kill the Qilin.
This shows that Zhao Gongming's cultivation level was already unfathomably high, to an astonishing degree.
Indeed, Zhao Gongming and the other three had devoted themselves to cultivation for many years, accumulating profound knowledge and skills. They were only one crucial step away from breaking through their current bottleneck.
Unfortunately, they had experienced the ordeal of divine essence differentiation back then. Although they were able to successfully achieve divine essence assimilation later, the four of them still had a slight concern in their hearts—worried that this past experience would have an adverse effect on this breakthrough.
Therefore, after careful consideration, they resolutely decided to go to the mysterious Heavenly Witch God Realm to search for the legendary Heaven-Mending Elixir or a rare elixir with similar effects.
Only by relying on the magical power of such treasures can they possibly eliminate the deep-seated worries and fears they have about breaking through.
The Spiritual Source Sacred Fruit is precisely one of these spiritual medicines, which is why Zhao Gongming spared no effort to obtain it.
As the frequency of the resurrection of those strange beasts gradually decreased, Zhao Xuan, who had been waiting for an opportunity, finally made his move.
He calmly began calling out names one by one, methodically using sealing techniques to imprison the strange beasts one by one.
Admittedly, if these strange beasts were to resist with all their might under the control of the Qilin, sealing them away would be no easy task.
But the situation is different now. Zhao Xuan originally wanted to provide support, but his teammates were too strong, so he could only convert the accumulated power into a seal.
This sealing technique is extremely sophisticated, capable of completely isolating the Qilin from controlling the beast. However, initially, in order to allow the Qilin to deplete its energy more quickly, Zhao Xuan did not rush to cast the seal.
As time went by, Qilin gradually realized the four people's intentions.
Having expended a great deal of energy to control the beasts, it was now feeling somewhat powerless.
Therefore, it had to gradually reduce the frequency of the resurrection of the alien beasts, and its strategy changed from eliminating and driving them away to trying to use this to hold back Zhao Xuan and the other three.
After all, Zhao Gongming alone was already putting it under immense pressure, not to mention the three other people who were helping it.
Seeing that the time was right, Zhao Xuan no longer hesitated and immediately unleashed the sealing technique he had prepared beforehand. Beams of dazzling light shot from his hands, striking the strange beasts with unerring accuracy. The beasts struck by the light were instantly immobilized and then completely sealed away.
After some effort, Zhao Xuan successfully sealed away most of the strange beasts.
At this moment, the three Yunxiao sisters exchanged glances with Zhao Xuan, then nodded in tacit agreement. Following this, after communicating with Zhao Xuan telepathically, they handed over control of the six war beasts to him.
After gaining access, Zhao Xuan took a deep breath and focused his mind to control the war beasts, preventing the non-resurrected beasts from disrupting the battlefield.
At the same time, the three Yunxiao sisters each unleashed their supernatural powers. A simultaneous shout rang out, and three dazzling beams of light shot into the sky. These were the lights emanating from the illusory images of the Golden Bucket, the Golden Dragon Scissors, and the Golden Phoenix in the air.
The three beams of light slowly converged, intertwining and entwining. Gradually, they merged into a magical treasure resembling an array plate. This treasure floated in the air, emanating a powerful and chilling aura.
In that instant, the eighteen powerful and fierce war beasts seemed to be drawn by a mysterious force, and their control fell into the array plate without warning.
Then, in an astonishingly harmonious manner, these war beasts, like a well-trained army, swiftly traversed space, forming an impenetrable encirclement that tightly trapped the Qilin and the twelve war beasts controlled by Zhao Gongming within.
Zhao Gongming was slightly taken aback by this sudden turn of events, but when he saw the war beasts surrounding them and the illusory array plates floating above their heads, a look of surprise appeared on his face.
With a swift movement, he transformed into a gentle breeze and vanished from the encirclement in the blink of an eye. His movements were as fast as lightning, making it difficult to catch his trace.
At the same time, control of nine of the war beasts originally controlled by the Spirit Pearl was quietly transferred from the Spirit Pearl to the array plate.
In an instant, these twenty-seven strange beasts, each with its own unique shape and extraordinary strength, began to exude an incomparably harmonious aura.
