Chapter 2477: Abyssal God Beast (1)
Logically, the Golden Qilin God was only at the peak of the True God Realm. Even with the addition of chaotic energy, his strength shouldn't be much greater than that of General Class Shadow Demons like Shun, or Lan Bingxue and Qi Zongwen.
What Yun Lintian perceived now was something far stronger. It was another level above Shun... How could this be possible? Perhaps it was because of the purity of his Golden Qilin bloodline?
Yun Lintian looked at Lan Hanyu and asked, "Can you tell me about Senior Qi? I want to know more about his power and bloodline."
Lan Hanyu, her gaze fixed on the swirling vortex of chaotic energy that concealed the Abyssal God Beast, nodded solemnly. "Qi Gang," she began, her voice soft yet filled with a deep reverence, "was a being of immense power and compassion. His heart was pure, his spirit noble, his strength unmatched among the Qilin Clan."
She paused, her eyes filled with a distant longing, as if reliving memories of a time long past. "His power was rooted in the Metal element, the essence of strength, resilience, and unyielding determination. He could manipulate the very fabric of reality, shaping metal into any form he desired, imbuing it with his divine energy, creating weapons and armor of unparalleled power."
Lan Hanyu's voice softened, her tone laced with a hint of sadness. "But his true strength lay not in his destructive power, but in his compassion, his unwavering belief in the goodness of all beings."
She looked at Yun Lintian, her eyes filled with a plea. "Lintian," she said, her voice earnest, "I know this is a daunting task, but I believe in you. You possess the power to purify the chaotic energy, to heal the wounds inflicted upon Qi Gang's soul. I believe you can bring him back, Lintian."
Yun Lintian nodded. "I will try my best. The problem is that I don't think it's as simple as we think. Removing the chaotic energy from his body might not be enough."
His intuition told him there was more to it. The fact that the mysterious figure didn't kill Qi Gang but let him become an Abyssal Beast had proven it.
With a shared determination, they turned towards the swirling vortex of chaotic energy that concealed the Abyssal God Beast. They could sense its immense power, its corrupted essence, its tormented soul.
Yun Lintian drew his Heaven Piercing Sword, its golden blade gleaming with a sharp light, its edges humming with the power of the Primordial Sun God. He channeled his divine energy, the God Marks of Life and Death pulsating within his Divine Core, their combined power flowing into the blade, imbuing it with the essence of creation and destruction.
Lan Hanyu summoned her own power, the icy energy of the Ice Phoenix swirling around her, her eyes blazing with a determined light. She was ready to face any challenge, any danger, to save her beloved friend.
Together, they stepped into the vortex, their figures disappearing into the swirling chaos. Boom!
The moment they entered the valley, a violent chaotic energy storm assaulted them, its force threatening to tear them apart.
Yun Lintian reacted instantly, channeling his divine energy, forming a protective barrier around himself and Lan Hanyu, shielding them from the onslaught.
He invoked the power of the Primordial Sun God, his body radiating a warm golden light that pushed back against the oppressive darkness. Lan Hanyu, her icy aura flaring, summoned a protective shield of ice, deflecting the swirling sand and dust.
Yun Lintian activated his Eyes of Heaven, piercing through the chaotic storm, his gaze sweeping across the desolate landscape. He could see the twisted trees, the barren rocks, the swirling sand and dust that obscured all vision.
And then, he saw them.
A pair of eyes, black and gold, burning with a malevolent light, stared back at him from the depths of the storm. The eyes were filled with a murderous aura, a primal rage that sent shivers down Yun Lintian's spine.
He could sense the immense power behind those eyes, the corrupted essence of the Golden Qilin God, twisted and distorted by the chaotic energy. The Abyssal God Beast, a monstrous mockery of the noble Qilin, was watching them, its presence a palpable weight that pressed down on their very souls.
Lan Hanyu clenched her fists tightly as she saw this. Without a doubt, this was her friend, the Golden Qilin God Qi Gang.
Swoosh!
Suddenly, a black light flashed, and an enormous black silhouette immediately pounced at Yun Lintian and Lan Hanyu, accompanied by a terrifying roar that shook the entire space.
"Stay behind," Yun Lintian said, letting Hei Shou and Gui Xiao jump onto Lan Hanyu's shoulders.
The Abyssal God Beast, its form a grotesque mockery of the noble Qilin, crashed into Yun Lintian with the force of a thousand thunderbolts. Its corrupted golden fur bristled with chaotic energy, its eyes burned with a malevolent light, and its claws, sharp as obsidian blades, tore through the air, aiming for Yun Lintian's heart.
Yun Lintian, his expression calm and focused, raised his sword, deflecting the beast's attack with a resounding clang.
BOOOOM!!
The impact sent shock waves rippling through the air, the ground beneath their feet cracking and splintering under the immense pressure.
The originally falling black silhouette was fiercely jolted and instantly sent flying into the distance by the enormous power that came from itself.
Although it was an instant counter, some of the aftereffects still landed on Yun Lintian. He, too, was sent flying.
The Heaven Piercing Sword cut a groove several meters long before coming to a stop. By then, his arm was already bleeding.
Yun Lintian furrowed his brow. The earlier impact made him realize how strong the Golden Qilin God's physique was. It was even stronger than his dragon form.
He swiftly shook his arm, removing all the bloodstains. His figure instantly disappeared and reappeared above the Abyssal God Beast.
"Heaven and Earth."
Yun Lintian uttered the words and swung the Heaven Piercing Sword down, cutting the space
in half.
"ROAR!!" The Abyssal God Beast roared, its voice a guttural symphony of rage and despair, its corrupted power surging outward, threatening to consume all creation.
A massive iron wall instantly appeared, blocking the sword's path.
RIPPPP-
The iron wall was cut open like a hot knife through butter.
What emerged from the shredded iron wall was a massive golden spear, pulsating with a
terrifying aura and aimed at Yun Lintian...
