Qilin were extremely rare magical beasts, possessing the potential to grow to Rank Eight, or even Rank Nine. This Fire Qilin lived inside an enormous abyss so deep that its bottom could not be seen, close to the underground sea of molten lava. It was the most comfortable place for a Fire Qilin, especially because it housed a precious treasure—the Star Light. Although the Star Light was not a flame, the light energy it emitted could be absorbed by the Fire Qilin and refined into its own strength. Moreover, the Star Light continuously absorbed the natural energy of heaven and earth, making the energy within the abyss incredibly abundant. Within that quiet and pleasantly warm environment, the Fire Qilin spent most of its time sleeping, its body naturally absorbing the surrounding energy with every breath. However, ever since a human had disturbed its slumber, the Fire Qilin had become extremely vigilant and far more aggressive. The moment it sensed two auras approaching, it imme

"Is the Qilin... dead?" Yun Xuhua stood frozen as she looked at the fifty-meter-tall Qilin, which no longer showed any signs of movement.She had personally experienced just how powerful the Qilin was, yet now the beast had stopped breathing, dead without a single visible wound on its body.Yun Xuhua had no idea what had actually happened when Wang Chen stabbed the giant syringe into the Qilin's buttocks, as he had never explained what it was beforehand."Ugh... that must have hurt." Chu Yan rubbed his own butt, as if he could feel the pain of being pierced by that enormous syringe."Want to try it yourself to find out?""No, thank you." Chu Yan immediately rejected Wang Chen's offer.Wang Chen landed on top of the Qilin's corpse, removed the artifacts attached to its body, and stored them away."This giant beast's body is completely intact. If we sell it, it would definitely fetch an enormous price," Chu Yan estimated."I'm not selling it." Wang Chen slowly shook his head. "I want to

After enduring a long and agonizing process, Wang Chen's efforts finally paid off. His body successfully formed a new Rune—the Light Rune.With this new Rune, Wang Chen gained another reservoir of energy, allowing him to transform his spiritual energy into light through it."Haha, it really worked!" Wang Chen exclaimed excitedly as he created a sphere of light in his palm.However, after a few moments, the joy on his face gradually turned into confusion."I can create light effortlessly with my Light Rune, but..."Even now, there was still one Rune in his body that Wang Chen had never been able to use to its fullest potential—the Poison Rune.Whenever he activated a Rune, his energy would transform according to that Rune's concept. The Fire Rune turned his energy into flames. The Lightning Rune transformed it into lightning.But poison?The Poison Rune inside his body did not convert his energy into pure poison.At most, it could induce dizziness and nausea in its target, effects that

Because Wang Chen had failed to prepare a sufficiently powerful barrier, the aura released by Yun Xuhua's impending breakthrough leaked outside, making their location impossible to conceal.Yun Xuhua was about to advance to the Martial Ancestor Realm, so the aura she emitted was incredibly powerful, spreading rapidly in all directions.The Eastern Star Sect disciples carrying out missions within the Hazhe Forest immediately sensed the overwhelming aura, sending chills down their spines.Since they all knew it was impossible for one of their own sect members to be breaking through in this forest, they immediately reported the matter to Elder Kong Hao, while part of the group headed toward the source of the aura to investigate.Kong Hao, who was exploring the Hazhe Forest at the time, immediately came to a halt when he sensed the unusual surge of energy. He was still quite far away and could not perceive it clearly, but his instincts warned him of danger. The aura was strong enough that
