Chapter 22  Vengeance Arrives, Might of the Mysterious Yin

“You are the ones who killed the Yun Qilin of my clan?”

The Fire Qilin glared furiously at Chu Yuan and his companions!

“So what if we did?” Chu Yuan responded coldly, releasing the aura of a Taiyi Golden Immortal.

Though not as violent as the Fire Qilin’s, his presence was like a deep ocean and towering mountain—calm but unyielding.

“Good! Good! Good!”

The Fire Qilin laughed in his fury.

“A mere Taiyi Golden Immortal dares to kill a member of the Qilin clan? It seems I have remained secluded for too long—this desolate world has forgotten the might of the Qilin clan!”

“Die!”

Before his voice even faded, the Fire Qilin suddenly opened his mouth. A massive pillar of blazing crimson-gold divine fire—seemingly capable of incinerating all things—shot forth like a heavenly spear of punishment, crashing down on Chu Yuan. The full might of a Da Luo Golden Immortal was on display!

Yet Chu Yuan’s expression remained unchanged. With a single finger pointed, thirty-six glowing acupoints within his body lit up radiantly.

Buzz—!

The void trembled violently!

Thirty-six figures, each exuding overwhelming murderous intent and chilling aura, emerged out of thin air. They were the thirty-six corpse puppets newly refined by Chu Yuan.

Formed in accordance with the mystic number of four times nine, their strength and numbers far surpassed their predecessors. Upon appearing, they took their positions based on an intricate formation, their auras interlinking with each other.

A boundless sea of baleful energy spread from beneath their feet, instantly enveloping a ten-thousand-mile radius. Howling ghost winds and wailing souls echoed in the air as a vast, shadowy, and terrifying formation of Mysterious Yin instantly materialized!

The dense and unrelenting Yin-bale aura clashed violently with the Fire Qilin’s divine flames, causing a loud sizzling and crackling sound!

The suppressive power of the formation immediately bore down on the Fire Qilin, making his magical energy momentarily stagnate—as if trapped in a quagmire.

“Formation?”

“This…”

The Fire Qilin’s pupils suddenly contracted.

This time, it had come for two reasons: first, to avenge the Cloud Qilin; second, to establish its might—to show all beings of the Great Desolation that those who dared offend the Qilin Clan would meet only one end: death and the annihilation of their very soul.

Who would have thought that this unknown cultivator standing before it, someone it had never even heard of, would unleash such a ferocious attack right from the start?

Now, caught within the formation and caught off guard, the Fire Qilin was instantly forced onto the back foot. In a hurry, it unleashed its trump card. Above its head, an ancient and simple-looking bronze mirror rose!

The mirror’s surface was smooth as jade, and its edges were wreathed in eight innate divine flames, each a different color, exuding terrifying heat and immense power!

This was none other than the Fire Qilin’s signature treasure—an upper-grade innate spiritual treasure: the Mirror of Primordial Fire in Eight Directions!

Pouring its mana into the mirror, the Fire Qilin aimed it at the great formation and fired!

Hiss—!

Eight enormous beams of destructive light, each fused with one of the eight innate divine flames, burst forth like eight world-ending fire dragons, roaring as they slammed into the Mysterious Yin Grand Formation!

RUMBLE!

The formation trembled violently as its surging demonic energy was forcefully evaporated and dispersed. However, just as the Fire Qilin thought it was about to break the formation—

From the depths of the Mysterious Yin Grand Formation, a figure began to rise—one far more terrifying, far more pure, exuding a mighty aura of supreme righteousness and scorching yang energy!

It was the Pure Yang Corpse Puppet, whose strength had already reached the early stage of the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm. The moment it appeared, it was like a blazing sun rising into the sky. The originally eerie and sinister Xuan Yin Grand Formation instantly achieved a balance of Yin and Yang. Its power directly increased by threefold.

The aura of pure yang and supreme rigidity was so intense that even the Fire Qilin felt a faint sense of suppression!

“A corpse puppet of the Great Luo Golden Immortal level! And it’s an innate demon god?!”

This time, the Fire Qilin was truly shocked. “Who exactly are you?”

Chu Yuan stood at the heart of the formation, expressionless, and spoke coldly, “The one who will kill you!”

“Roar!”

At Chu Yuan’s command, the Pure Yang Corpse Puppet let out a thunderous roar!

Its pure killing instinct erupted.

Ignoring the raging primal flames all around, it charged directly at the true body of the Fire Qilin. Innate Pure Yang Divine Light blasted out from its hands in succession.

With the support of the Xuan Yin Grand Formation, the other corpse puppets also saw their combat power greatly enhanced. Together, they relentlessly attacked the Fire Qilin, forcing it into continuous retreat. It could only defend itself—there was no chance to strike back.

“Damn it!!”

The Fire Qilin, known for its fiery temper, hadn’t been beaten so miserably in countless years. The treasured mirror shone with dazzling light!

Terrifying true flames blazed furiously!

Yet no matter how loudly it roared, it was still no match for the Pure Yang Corpse Puppet. After only a brief, fierce battle, crimson Qilin blood scattered across the skies. By now, even its explosive temper had been quelled.

Only one thought remained in its mind.

Escape!

If I don’t flee now, I fear I’ll truly perish here today.

“Now’s the time!”

Chu Yuan, hidden within the killing aura of the grand formation, noticed the Fire Qilin showing signs of retreat. He extended a finger.

“Dang!”

“Dang!”

“Dang!”

A divine light rose behind his head as the tolling of a bell echoed through the formation. It carried a soul-seizing, mind-shattering power. It was none other than the mid-grade innate spiritual treasure offered by Feng Ling—The Soul-Seizing Bell!
