Chapter 436: Fury Of The Beginning
Chapter 436: Fury Of The Beginning
"Ominous Star" Ma Yuan's expression was complex.
"Ai, he is dead for certain." Su Mushuang regretfully said.
The last Bi Mansion Star Stone inside the White Tiger's body glowed. Black meridians extended like chains around the White Tiger's limbs, and a dark light covered this Holy Beast of Heaven. But from head to toe, the feeling it gave off was like a ferocious beast's.
Liu Hongyu had raised the White Tiger for centuries. It had devoured countless Primordial Spirits and lives, making this Holy Beast concentrate a formidably cruel aura within its body.
To be able to raise a Holy Beast of Heaven into an Ancient Fierce Beast, this feat could only be accomplished by a few people in the world.
At this moment, under the Qilin Martial Emperor's direction, its cruel aura was completely unleashed.
However, the White Tiger bitterly struggled. White light flickered, and for a brief moment, the White Tiger hissed.
Its voice shook the eardrums and rang in the ears intensely.
Seeing the White Tiger was even more savage, Chen Mo was powerless. After the White Emperor Demon Destroying Seal knocked out the White Tiger's Seven Star Stones, the Five Emperors Seal was then sufficient to make the White Tiger suffer heavy injuries. If he could expel at least five of the Jian Bing Seven mansion Star Stonesso long as it lost these, and with Li Mi and the others' help, this would be enough to thoroughly defeat the White Tiger.
The truth was that events unfolded as Chen Mo had anticipated. The Five Emperors Seal had seriously wounded the White Tiger, leaving it with only the one Bi Mansion Star Stone. The Jian Bing Seven Stars were the source of the White Tiger's power. Retaining only one was not a surprise from a Star General's perspective, but he did not expect that the White Tiger would actually use the evil qi in its body to form six Ominous Stars to temporarily fill in the missing stars.
By doing so, the White Tiger was even stronger than before.
But such an outcome would make this Four Symbols Holy Beast become an unprecedented Four Symbols Ominous Star. Across Star World's tens of millennia of history, there had never been such a legend.
This Qilin Martial Emperor wanted to rebel against natural order.
Chen Mo took a deep breath and brandished the Northern Dipper Staff to pound the White Tiger.
When he made his move, the White Tiger's claw ripped open the sinew and muscle in Chen Mo's arm, and he nearly lost his grip on the large staff from the pain. Chen Mo's expression changed. He attacked the White Tiger with the Qiankun Seal.
The White Tiger endured the Qiankun Seal, shook its head, then fired black light that forced Chen Mo away.
Shit.
Chen Mo sensed that he was already at his limit, an arrow at the end of its flight. The only solution was consecutive activation of the Five Emperors Seal. To use the Five Emperors Seal after having only just activated it, he could even lose it.
Gritting his teeth, the Black Turtle Flying Swords formed a sword array and descended towards the White Tiger. Chen Mo lifted his staff. He needed to seize his chance to get rid of the Ominous Star here and now.
Zhiyan landed the Lunar Rainbow Thousand Chariot beside Li Qingyi, "This Qilin Martial Emperor is so cruel, to actually have raised a Holy Beast into an Ominous Star. Your man is dead for sure."
Not hearing a reply, Zhiyan glanced at Li Mi.
The woman stared at Chen Mo straight on, her expression extremely solemn. Ever since that time she was defeated by Li Shimin, this was the first time that Zhiyan had ever seen her so serious. She was apparently able to sense what Li Mi was pondering about. Zhiyan pursed her lips: "Don't tell me you want to go help him?"
"The Qilin Martial Emperor has already entered the Western Fields. This hunt has startled her, and she is watching even now. No matter what your man does, he cannot possibly kill the White Tiger. He is already dead for certain." Zhiyan calmly assessed.
"Why not I help you steal those Star Stones, and we run for it." Zhiyan looked at the six Star Stones. Whether the Star Stones' Primeval Chaos Star Energy was refined into a Destined Star Weapon or into their bodies, they could give a Star General enormous help. If Li Mi obtained the seven Star Stones, then her attacks would be fierce enough to perhaps to be able to face Li Shimin's Divine Weapon.
"Li Mi, say something, would you, why did you become so silent."
Li Mi continued her silence. Zhiyan could not help but complain.
"Why does he fight with the White Tiger to this extent?" Li Mi muttered.
"Probably because he really needs the Seven Star Stones." Zhiyan guessed.
"Yet I, the great Dragon Of Pushan, cannot compare to him."
Zhiyan wanted to help retort for this friend she had known for several centuries, but seeing Chen Mo and the White Tiger's intense battle, anything she uttered would be somewhat self-deceptive.
"Yes, you cannot compare to him."
It had been several hundred years since she lost to Li Shimin. Li Mi had stayed in hiding for these centuries, traveling countless Star Fields, experiencing all kinds of danger and evil. She believed if this continued, she would one day reclaim what she had lost.
But seeing Chen Mo fight the White Tiger, Li Mi finally discovered that she did not even have the courage to use full power. Then what was the meaning of those experiences.
A divine light flickered in her pupils. Zhiyan said in astonishment: "Li Mi, you wouldn't be thinking of using Heaven Rank?"
"Your Servant is not one to break promises." Li Mi answered resolutely.
"But if you kill the White Tiger, you will have offended the Qilin Martial Emperor. Do you want to die?" Zhiyan did not wish to incur the wrath of this tyrant queen.
"Wait until Qingyi uses Heaven Rank, then I will have to trouble you to send me off, Zhiyan." Li Qingyi faintly smiled.
"Fine. You finally have just a bit of the spirit you had back then, Dragon Of Pushan. Zhiyan will help you, but if you want to escape the grasp of the Qilin Martial Emperor, looks like you will need to use Heaven Rank to do so." Zhiyan drew back her leg and sat upright on the chariot.
"Many thanks."
Li Mi somersaulted, and like a swallow in flight, leapt down.
Several hundred exchanges later, Chen Mo found that the White Tiger's attacks were not savage at all. Although it had the Ominous Star, it was struggling. Its attacks had some gaps, as if it was intentionally seeking death.
But Chen Mo had already exhausted his Star Energy. He was completely unable to muster strength to go kill it. Even though it was the last Bi Mansion Star Stone, he was very hard-pressed. The wounds on his body were increasingly severe, and the Body of the Black Turtle was also somewhat unable to bear it.
Chen Mo staggered, showing an enormous opening. The White Tiger's claw slashed at his chest. A dragon and serpent sword-light shot into the White Tiger's paw. The White Tiger roared and retreated.
"The Four Symbols Holy Beast actually became such a thing" Li Qingyi's expression was filled with pity.
"You finally decided to take action?" Chen Mo breathed a sigh of relief.
"I am not as crazy as youThe Qilin Martial Emperor is already here, were you aware?" Li Qingyi said in a hushed voice.
"Then let her watch us hunt the White Tiger."
Li Qingyi shook her head and shifted her gaze to the White Tiger.
Black light pounced in a flash like lightning. The Dragon And Serpent Dual Modes spun left and right, entangling with the White Tiger.
"Li Mi is still unresigned. Seems I will need to teach her a good lesson." Liu Hongyu sneered.
A black Golden Crow emerged and dodged past the Dragon And Serpent Dual Modes. Li Mi drew back her hand. The Dragon And Serpent sword-light danced between her fingertips, trapping the Golden Crow.
Her eyes spied the White Tiger's Bi Mansion Star Stone. She clawed with her hand, and the Dragon And Serpent Dual Modes flew back to her grasp, becoming a dragon and serpent intertwined long sword's shape.
"Mo Chen, can you last a dozen more seconds?" Li Qingyi asked.
"One hundred won't be a problem."
Chen Mo brandished the Northern Dipper. The iron stick blew a gust towards the White Tiger.
Li Qingyi raised her right arm. Dragon and serpent light endlessly concentrated in her palm. Star Energy swirled, and the enormous wilderness was filled with the wind of an ancient aura.
The aura of her Heaven Rank made everyone pull back.
Lord Of Heaven saw that everyone was paying attention to Chen Mo and Li MI. He seized this opening. A cloud-qi wrapped around his body, and Lord Of Heaven Rising Firmament used his superior escape technique, reaching for the Seven Mansion Star Stones on the ground.
The cloud-light brushed by, approaching the stones.
Lord Of Heaven Rising Firmament was elated.
Just as he was about to snatch up the Seven Mansion Star Stones, all of a sudden, a black arrow shot apart his cloud-light, breaking his ability. Lord Of Heaven Rising Firmament was startled. He looked, and faraway, an unusually tall woman in a long skirt coldly aimed her bow and arrow right at him.
Her second arrow instantly shot into his body.
Lord Of Heaven Rising Firmament's expression contorted, "Yuwen Gui!!!"
The black arrow dispersed before his eyes, and the heavenly woman approached as gentle as falling flower petals. Lord Of Heaven Rising Firmament threw out a bolt of cloud-light, but his magic energy was already insufficient to fend off Yuwen Gui's Star Energy. Arrow-light broke the cloud-qi and ran through his body. His corporeal body disintegrated, and Lord Of Heaven Rising Firmament could only escape as a Primordial Spirit. As for the Seven Mansion Star Stones, he did not dare touch them any more. With just the power of his Primordial Spirit alone, he perhaps would be destroyed by the Heaven Rank before even getting close.
"Weaklings do not suit such a prize." Yuwen Gui put down Falling Feather and gazed toward the battlefield.
Li Mi and Chen Mo had already beaten the White Tiger full of severe wounds. She would definitely be able to kill the White Tiger so long as she used her Heaven Rank again.
Yuwen Gui was aloof. From under the halo of a genius like herself, she was very understanding of what choice to make.
"To offend the Qilin Martial Emperor for a manLi Mi, oh, Li Mi. Your Humble Servant shall bring your story of dying together for love back to the Xianbei Star Kingdom." Yuwen Gui shut her eyes, then turned and left.
Blue flickered in the White Tiger's red eyes. The Holy Beast cried out and struggled. Chen Mo could sense that it was unreconciled in its heart.
A wrathful claw attacked Chen Mo.
Not good.
Chen Mo throbbed with pain. All of a sudden, a green ruler struck the White Tiger's paw. Then, thousands of ruler-shadows emerged, raining down upon the White Tiger's body.
This sudden appearance of a "Primeval Chaos Spirit Treasure" caught Chen Mo off guard, but it seemed this was not hostile at all.
"Hurry and get away!"
Li Mi's voice was transmitted into his mind.
Chen Mo glanced at the White Tiger. Then, he turned and ran.
The green clothes of the woman behind him fluttered, and the Dragon And Serpent Ancient Sword's qi in her hand was already fully formed.
The White Tiger sensed danger. Its whole body was as black as charcoal, and the Bi Mansion Star Stone glowed again.
Within the span of a breath, the White Tiger already pounced in front of Li Mi, its claw surging with a terrible chill.
The girl smirked. Then, she cackled to her heart's content.
The Dragon Of Pushan raised her hand, and the Dragon And Serpent Long Sword in her grasp thrust towards the White Tiger. Endless sword-light rolled over the wilderness. The earth sunk into primeval rot in an instant. Boundless primordial chaos broke out of the ground.
In an instant, woman and tiger were already wrapped up in primordial chaos.
Heaven Rank!
Fury Of The Beginning!1
Li Mi's Heaven Rank made the Qilin Pavilion Officials barely withstand. The others could only keep as far away from her Heaven's Rank range. The ruler-shadow shielded Chen Mo, defending him from the leftover might of genesis.
With a crystalline sound, the last Bi Mansion Star Stone finally was expelled by the Dragon And Serpent Dual modes.
Multi-colored moonlight suddenly fell into "the beginning." Zhiyan grabbed Li Qingyi and also wanted to reach for Chen Mo.
Watching from far away, the Qilin Martial Emperor let the Heaven Rank's aura wash over her. Liu Che was unfazed. She lifted her palm towards them and gently pushed down.
It was as if a true qilin's divine might had descended from Heaven.
"Shit." Zhiyan sensed that the Qilin Martial Emperor had made her move.
"Next time, Zhiyan will take care of you." The girl did not dare delay. She immediately activated her Heaven, Earth, Dark, Yellow and instantly vanished from the entirety of the Qilin Star Field.
After the Heaven Rank subsided, the Western Fields was a wasteland.
The White Tiger was at its dying breath. The Jian Bing Seven Mansion Star Stones in its body were all gone, but its body's black light had yet to abate.
Chen Mo sensed that Li Mi had been taken away by Zhiyan. However, he did not care that much as he charged towards the White Tiger.
"H!!!"
The Black Turtle was behind him, emitting a earth-shaking heavy aura. The Black Turtle Flying Swords became the Zhiming Seven Stars. It was like a Four Symbols had descended, and long accumulated power suddenly erupted, making everyone feel incredulous.
"What?" Qilin Martial Emperor Liu Hongyu was stunned.
The White Tiger stared at Chen Mo and did something unimaginable to everyone it stopped resisting.
