Chapter 257: Real Life Poseidon? Ancient Freak of the Golden Qilin Clan.

The Dark All-Devouring Qi spread throughout Heaven and Earth, making space itself appear gloomy and lifeless.

A barrage of fluctuations emanated from the distant fighting, as All-Devouring Spirits fought tooth-and-nail with young cultivators. The ensuing waves of destruction were extremely potent, as a heavenly dark mist surrounded thousands of miles, like a foreboding web around the world.

The attacking All-Devouring Spirits were extraordinary and possessed a powerful combat strength.

But they couldn’t affect two humanoid figures in the slightest.

Now, at the All-Devouring Battlefield, there were actually many such scenes, with deathmatches and battles breaking out everywhere and anywhere.

The quota for the True Immortal Academy was truly driving the younger generation crazy for blood.

Even those few younger generations recognized by Gu Changge or Wang Zijin had to kill the All-Devouring Spirits in order to receive points to enter the True Immortal Academy.

So there was no way to go through the backdoor relying solely on relationships.

At this time, all beings were considered equal. As long as one possessed enough points, they would be able to enter the academy to cultivate, regardless of background or origin.

Anyone who met the required number of points had a chance.

“Since Brother Gu says so, then let us temporarily go our separate ways.”

On the top of a withered mountain.

Two people stood shoulder to shoulder, like a pair of descended immortals, on top of the odd stones littering the mountain peak, shimmering with a mystical glow.

Wang Zijin was wearing a pale, blue battledress, her hands placed behind her. And as she smiled, it revealed her simple and pure temperament, a flawless and perfect sense of self.

Even Gu Changge had to compliment that special Qi flowing throughout her body.

Occasionally, he couldn’t help but crave to devour her.

For that aura was not as simple as just having an Immortal Qi, but also another form of Spiritual Wisdom dwelling inside her body.

Gu Changge speculated that it must be her accompanying golden finger, a cheat code of sorts.

However, it was merely a passing thought, as Wang Zijin’s numerous means and methods would be hundreds of times more difficult to deal with compared to those Ancient Freaks.

Moreover, Wang Zijin would not affect any of his following plans.

There was no need to recklessly attack her at this moment and cause unnecessary trouble.

Gu Changge thought that even he could never reach that level of madness.

Although Wang Zijin was plotting to best him, he himself was also plotting to best her.

The lass asked him to pay using his body?

Hah!

Gu Changge wanted to see who’d be paying who in the end.

At this moment, he couldn’t help but laugh slightly, “The All-Devouring Battlefield is not infinite in size, so maybe we will meet again someday in the future.”

“Ah, yes, there is also something else. I must thank you for giving me face earlier; it would’ve been difficult to get myself away from the spotlight otherwise.”

“…Is that so?”

And though Wang Zijin did not know if his thanks was sincere, or merely a facade….

She still smiled a wide grin and replied, “Even if Brother Gu really wants to thank me, it is better to do it after this matter, for both our sakes. Just remember that you owe me one later on, hehe!”

Gu Changge smiled in response, “Very well. I shall be leaving first, then.”

Seeing Gu Changge say so, and remembering his indifferent attitude towards Jiang Chuchu’s affairs, Wang Zijin did not ask him too much regarding their relationship in the end.

She was just a bit curious as to why Jiang Chuchu’s expression always turned cold when Gu Changge was mentioned.

This type of prejudice contrasted heavily against the fair and just Jiang Chuchu she was familiar with.

As a woman, she possessed a natural intuition for this kind of thing.

Especially after undergoing the influence of her dog-eat-dog previous life, she ultimately felt that the situation at hand was extremely fishy, and had underlying reasons she needed to uncover.

It was difficult for a man like Gu Changge to be tempted by any woman. His warmth, or notable lack of it, was much like Cold Heavenly Jade. There was nothing more disappointing than that indifferent, ruthless nature of his blackened, cruel heart.

Of course, she did not know exactly what had happened between Gu Changge and Jiang Chuchu, nor did not she realize that Jiang Chuchu venturing into the world some time ago was actually a fake that was arranged by Gu Changge.

“Goodbye for now,” Wang Zijin replied with a faint smirk.

Gu Changge nodded.

Following that, he stepped down into nothing and vanished, his figure quickly blurring into the void, before reappearing thousands of miles out.

Even Wang Zijin couldn’t keep up with his speed at all.

“This guy… is really too unpredictable. Tch, what about me doesn’t he like…”

“Is my charm not enough?”

Wang Zijin couldn’t help rubbing her glabella in frustration.

This was her first time feeling so infatuated with someone throughout both of her lives.

Unfortunately, Gu Changge’s attitude made her think that he didn’t seem too interested in women, as if he were an apathetic immortal pursuing supreme power in full, without wanting any distractions.

But Gu Changge’s actions did not always reflect such.

His entire conversation with Ying Yu simply screamed ‘flirt’.

“This guy seems to be a real-life Poseidon.”

1Kshn: Author being too frank about it bruh.

“Forget it, the more I think about it, the more my head hurts. I don’t believe that this fellow’s heart could be completely made out of stone…”

Wang Zijin left the place soon after, planning to go into the depths of the Battlefield.

That was her intention from the start.

Seeing as Jiang Chuchu still seemed to be trapped inside it.

Her life and death was currently unknown.

[On the Other Side]

“Master, this area has been occupied by us, and the nearby All-Devouring Spirits have been cleansed. Their cultivation was mostly in the False God Realm, with very little in the True God Realm.”

After leaving Wang Zijin behind, Gu Changge promptly visited his followers.

Ye Han was currently reporting their gains after entering the All-Devouring Battlefield.

“It seems that our area is in the periphery, and the really strong creatures only lie deeper within.”

Gu Changge nodded, his vision sweeping through the scenery. There was no sight of any other younger generation cultivator in an area of nearly tens of thousands of miles nearby.

This was undoubtedly because of him.

The followers all had bodies of the All-Devouring Spirits in hand and were simply waiting for their chance to leave this place and exchange them for points at the True Immortal Academy.

Even a single quota in the True Immortal Academy cost an extreme amount of points.

Merely exchanging creatures of the False God Realm would never be sufficient.

However, Gu Changge had no intention of taking chump change from the hands of his own followers. He just needed to go into the depths, and kill a Quasi-Sacred Realm Spirit with his own hands.

The purpose of his arrival at the Battlefield was not for the quota of the True Immortal Academy.

It was to arrange and plot for his next moves.

Many matters still awaited his attention; there was no time to waste it on killing mere All-Devouring Spirits.

The jade pendant he had given to Wang Zijin was actually a tracking imprint he planted.

This was something he estimated that she wouldn’t notice.

Thus, Gu Changge intended to let her explore the way for him first, and then secretly sneak into the area where the All-Devouring Sky’s origin was located once she left.

As far as he knew, the All-Devouring Sky’s Origin had to be somewhere here, as it was likely to be where the All-Devouring Sky appeared.

Over the innumerable past eons, the outbreak of the All-Devouring Sky always involved the creation and destruction of multiple worlds, an unsolvable force that made all of the existence tremble.

Within the core area, there were rumours of the All-Devouring Sky’s Origin.

Gu Changge intended to swallow this exact origin using his Black Dao Bottle.

If that really failed, he still possessed the omnipotent Destiny Points to utilize. Gu Changge had made a lot of preparations in order to succeed at his plans here.

In addition, the peculiar All-Devouring Qi at the depths of the Battlefield was very strong, which meant that any living spirit would generally avoid sticking to this type of place, since they might end up being devoured by the aura of All-Devouring Qi if they weren’t careful.

Therefore, there was no need to worry about any powerful existence hindering his plans there.

The full scope of this All-Devouring Battlefield was infinitely large, and the area occupied by Ye Han and the others was actually very small in comparison.

So Gu Changge thought for a while, before planning to cover up people’s ears, plainly ordering:

“Well done, but these points are far from enough. Take my token. If someone dares to stop us, do notify me using this token immediately.”

“I will return to check your progress.”

Having said that, he leisurely threw the token in his hand over to Ye Han.

After all, his identity was a very special one, one that many individuals and forces paid attention to, not daring to let out of their sight. If he wanted to do anything with these leeches breathing down his back, it would be extremely troublesome.

So Gu Changge wished to employ a ‘Golden Cicada sheds its carapace’ technique, taking advantage of the excuse of leaving the Battlefield to disperse the younger generation’s focus on him, freeing his hands up to conduct his master plan.

Many troubles would be sorted at once with this act.

Seeing this scene, the other followers couldn’t help staring in envy, receiving a personal token gifted by the Young Master indicated that Ye Han was deeply valued.

They themselves were not so lucky.

And Ye Han was also excited, respectfully accepting the token while suppressing his joy, “Master can rest assured that this subordinate will complete the task entrusted without fail.”

Gu Changge nodded, “With your words, I am at ease.”

Nothing more was said.

His figure, subtly blurring, vanished in an instant from that place.

“Master leaving the All-Devouring Battlefield… has something big happened outside?”

Upon witnessing Gu Changge’s departure, a beautiful Heavenly Daughter couldn’t help but ask.

“I am unsure, but how can people like us possibly understand Master’s complex situation?”

“Let’s simply complete the mission entrusted to us by the Master first. With this identity token, no random cultivator will dare compete with us when encountering All-Devouring Spirits. A perfect opportunity to enter the True Immortal Academy has appeared. There is no time to waste.”

Several followers next to them heard these words and shook their heads, not daring to ask more.

Following that, many young existences suddenly noticed that Gu Changge had appeared at the door of the All-Devouring Battlefield, and seemed to be in a rush to leave.

Was he returning to the outside world?

This news made the cultivators inside the Battlefield feel weird. Gu Changge was a famous hegemon of the younger generation, and even the heir of an Emperor like Ying Shuang couldn’t help but be seen as weak before him.

But now that Gu Changge was no longer inside the All-Devouring Battlefield, a great number of the younger generation felt relieved, like a massive rock was lifted from their chests.

Having said that, the territory of the All-Devouring Battlefield was massive, and the area where they saw Gu Changge’s location was only a small section of the realm.

The news about his departure thus spread slowly, not making much of a wave.

Ying Yu, Ye Langtian, Wang Zijin, and the others obviously received this information, causing them to display a wide array of different expressions and thoughts.

— — —

“Young Master, if we go forwards any further, we will enter the depths of the Battlefield. There are already many Spirits in the God King Realm prowling nearby. If we really go deeper, we might encounter creatures from the Quasi-Sacred Realm or even the Sacred Realm!”

“Furthermore, the All-Devouring Qi there is too strong. I worry our men won’t be able to bear it.”

In front of a long dried-up lake.

A group of creatures pulled up on the border between depths, all riding powerful beasts.

Primordial Deer, Unicorns, Ancient Boars, etc., these prestigious monsters all possessed amazing Qi and vitality, shrouded in an auspicious, hazy mist, looking abnormally heroic and kingly.

The person speaking at this moment was a young creature with a rhinoceros horn on his head, his strength being in the realm of True God, undeniably a Young Supreme existence.

“It’s alright. Those who are strong will follow me at the front, while those remaining will stay here and wait. Do not let our men at the back come over under any condition.”

“There are not enough All-Devouring Spirits nearby for us to kill. If we could meet a creature of the Quasi-Sacred Realm, it would save us much trouble in our hunting.”

“I heard that Gu Changge has left the All-Devouring Battlefield due to an unknown reason.”

“This is my chance to crush him in terms of points!”

“It’s not so easy to be the number one person of the younger generation!”

The Young Master he was talking to: a tall young man wearing a golden-scaled robe.

His blond hair shone as bright as the sun, as if the epitome of flowing gold, his eyes burning with the might of a thousand suns, enveloping the entire world.

But what separated him from the rest were the two golden dragon horns sitting atop his head. They exuded a kind of special Dao Rhythm and Divine Energy, giving off an extraordinary feel to them.

Yet he was not a dragon, but a Qilin2A Qilin is a mythical hooved chimerical creature in Chinese mythology, similar to Chinese Dragons., an extremely rare Golden Qilin!

Qilin Zi, an Ancient Freak who had been sealed up until this day. A Quasi-Sacred Realm beastman!

His father was the Qilin Demon King, who was once the overlord of the Demon Realm, with power and cultivation considered the most outstanding in their realm.

And although he’d never actually ruled over the Demon Realm, his power alone was enough to make many ancient races fear him nonetheless.

Qilin Zi had inherited his father’s terrifying talent, managing to reach a high level of strength, not to mention that he was only in his twenties at the moment!

This strength was enough to disdain most of his peers, even if he hadn’t been sealed.

Moreover, the Golden Qilin race possessed a special talent to seek good fortune and avoid disaster, which in some aspects could reach the point of mildly predicting the future.

Although there were also many existences that, after reaching a certain level, would spy on the river of endless time, noticing its intricacies and meanings…

None could do so without a form of potential backlash.

None but the Golden Qilins alone.

To some extent, they were dubbed as a family loved by Heaven and Earth.

At this moment, hearing what Qilin Zi said, all his followers nodded, understanding his reasoning. Those who found it difficult to move forward stayed behind, while most chose to follow on.

“Who is it…!”

However, abruptly, Qilin Zi’s complexion changed drastically, and a divine light burst out from the pits of his eyes, gleaming like sharp swords as he glared at the part of the sky behind them.

That proud expression of his also became dignified, cooling down upon sensing a dangerous, uneasy atmosphere surrounding the nearby space in a vice grip.

The talent of the Golden Qilins. His intuition.

It currently made his eyebrows tingle, a sharp pain as if being pierced through by a steel needle.

Like his head was going to explode! The danger this time seemed potent beyond his imagination!

“What happened?”

“What’s the matter, young master?”

All of Qilin Zi’s followers had not yet reacted to this inescapable danger. They sounded extremely surprised, looking behind them in puzzlement and wariness.

What is there to see but a bleak and sullen sky?

“Be careful, we have bad company!”

Qilin Zi commanded in a deep voice.

Almost instantly, he unfolded a vast map of star fields behind himself.

Buzz!

A terrifying Qi, like the gathering of hundreds of millions of stars, bloomed in the space.

This was a Sacred-grade Artifact, formed from true stars and refined into a great power, rumbling as cosmic Qi circulated endlessly within it, causing the land to quake.

Stars emerged one by one, solidified in an instant. Surrounded by chaotic mist, interweaving a vast net of runes in the boundless sky!

Qilin Zi’s fast reaction was truly deserving of praise.

After equipping his armaments, the Qilin beastman finally felt a sense of security, breathing a silent sigh of relief. His cold eyes stared unflinchingly at the sky in the distance.

“Since you’re here, why don’t you show up and let me see your faces?”

Qilin Zi shouted loudly.

His words also made all the followers vigilant, and they sacrificed or activated all sorts of weapons or protections to await the enemy’s assault.

“Kekeke…”

“Your reaction is quite fast, but my Master has ordered me to take your origin today.”

“All of you, including the Qilin’s men, cannot escape anymore.”

Accompanied by a chilling sneer, three terrifying figures shattered the space around the bleak sky.

Black robes and black faces, their entire bodies were enshrouded in a dark fog, making it impossible to identify them clearly or read their intentions.

Only three pairs of scarlet eyes broke their disguise.

Eyes full of indifference, madness, and a never-ending thirst for blood.

Their displayed cultivation level only further dropped everyone into the pits of despair, terrifying the entire band of followers, and making them tremble all over.

‘Great Sacred Realm! All three of them!’

Law and Order upended and collapsed as the sky shivered. Even the All-Devouring Qi nearby stilled.

“Young master… is this… have we offended someone?”

“How could it be possible that it would be the three Great Sacred Realms…”

The expressions of Qilin Zi’s followers changed drastically, their faces turning hopelessly pale, as some of them asked in disbelief. In the current landscape of the world, a Great Sacred cultivator was as good as invincible without the active interference of any Quasi-Supremes or Supremes.

Not to mention the fact that there were three Great Sacred Realms facing them instead of one!

Anyone who witnessed this kind of scene would instinctively feel despair, and it was only natural!

“Is your Master the Forbidden Demonic Arts’ Inheritor?”

“I have no grievances nor enmities with him, why does he want to deal with me?”

At this time, although Qilin Zi managed to retain a dignified expression, he still seemed a bit pale, full of uneasiness and worry about this seemingly unbeatable danger.

But compared to the others, he was much calmer.

In his golden eyes, a handful of runic symbols vanished, turning into a monstrous force, as if wanting to see through and gain insight into the origins of these three Great Sacred Realm cultivators.

He had already guessed their Master’s identity from their words just now.

Besides the Forbidden Demonic Arts’ Inheritor, who else could take the Origins of people?

It’s just that Qilin Zi still couldn’t figure out why the other party would be so bold as to send these three Great Sacred Realms to intercept and slaughter him at such a time.

As invincible existences under the quasi-supreme, three of them appearing at once was essentially a situation of certain death for any member of the younger generation.

A horrifically dangerous situation for Qilin Zi.

“We are not so stupid as to confirm your suspicions. Having said that, no one will be able to rescue you today, so just obediently hand over your Origin. Maybe we will leave you with a whole body.”

“My master is very interested in your innate talent.”

High in the sky, one of the black figures sneered in mockery, its eyes extremely cruel and ruthless; a devil of killing that overlooked everyone below.

Boom!

Following the man’s words.

When he made a move, a big black dharma hand stretched out into infinity. Covering the sky itself, it easily broke apart the combined protection runes created by Qilin Zi’s followers, turning each and every cardinal direction into an endless darkness, as if a large continent had covered the world.

Under the might of a Great Sacred Realm, any resistance seemed extremely weak.

The other two looked on indifferently, and didn’t make moves, just in case someone tried to escape.

Puff!

Almost instantly as the black palm fell, the sound of screaming began.

And even though Qilin Zi’s followers all possessed powerful hidden tools to protect themselves, a good half of them still couldn’t resist the destructive forces at all, and were smashed into meat paste and blood mist, accompanying the deathly shrieks of torment.

Primordial spirits or divine weapons, everything was instantly annihilated regardless.

“Young Master, help me!”

“We don’t want to die!”

Those who barely survived were wracked with lingering fear, their faces full of desperation, fear.

“How vexing, can’t you just let me kill you without the whining?”

Within the shadows, a cruel and indifferent voice rang out, like a god looking down upon mere ants.

“Stop!”

“Aren’t you afraid that the forces behind me will find out and take revenge?”

Qilin Zi’s expression suddenly became extremely gloomy and ugly.

He began to urge the star map behind him, rotating each constellation one by one, circulating that terrifying divine power to its limits, trying to go beyond what he could actually handle.

But in the end, the gap between a Quasi-Sacred Realm and a True Sacred Realm, was far too great.

The other party just waved his hand, and the Quasi-Sacred runes were overwhelmed.

Horrible cracks webbed their way through the shattering star map.

Some of the refined stars were directly turned into dust!

“What’s there to be afraid of? All of you will die here today, and no one will ever know why.”

The black shadow sneered again.

It was a dismissive attitude, combined with the will to mercilessly kill them all!
