Chapter 264 The Supreme Being Who Shrouds the Heavens?!
As soon as Xu Qing gave the order, subtle yet undeniable fluctuations arose within the Zhutian Pavilion.
A nearly transparent thin line extended from the pavilion, piercing the sea of light in front of it like a gossamer thread, and disappeared into the endless brilliance.
A moment later, the surface of the Heavenly Decree floating in front of him suddenly lit up faintly, and lines of golden characters slowly emerged, clearly appearing before his eyes:
[Guest: Qilin Ancient Emperor]
[World of the series: Shrouding the Heavens]
[Strength: Peak of the 11th Tier (Limit of Void True God)]
[Items available for purchase: Eternal Blue Gold, Primordial Life Stone, Immortal Essence Liquid, Qilin Staff (Peak 11th Tier), Emperor Realm Cultivation (
(Peak of the eleventh tier)...
"The Ancient Emperor of Qilin?!" Xu Qing couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.
It wasn't Ye Fan after all?
Almost at the same moment the message of the Heavenly Decree appeared, in the world of "Covering the Sky", on the Emperor's Burial Star, deep within the Primordial Ancient Mine.
This secret realm, known as the "Forbidden Zone of Life," is shrouded in a deathly mist year-round, where only the ancient supreme beings who severed themselves and sealed away their essence slumber.
At this moment, in the deepest part of the secret realm, a terrifying consciousness that had been dormant for millions of years suddenly awakened, and a pair of eyes containing the illusions of billions of stars suddenly opened!
"Who is it?!"
A roar echoed through the mine, and in an instant, the billions of stars above the Primordial Ancient Mine began to shake violently, with star fragments falling like raindrops, as if the entire universe was about to collapse at this moment!
Deep within the mine, celestial light cascaded forth like a waterfall, and the phantom of a galaxy fell upon the earth. Boundless and wondrous phenomena swept across the land, shaking the ages.
Immediately afterwards, a colossal Qilin, its body so large it blotted out the sky, emerged from the mist.
Its length was unknown, stretching across the heavens and earth. With each step it took, the earth of the Emperor's Burial Star trembled violently, and everything was shattered.
Its entire body was covered in blue-purple scales, as if cast from celestial gold, shimmering with a cold luster in the celestial light. A beam of light shot straight into the sky from its skull, which was proof of its imperial status, proclaiming that it was once the supreme ruler of the nine heavens and ten earths.
"The supreme being of the ancient forbidden zone has been reborn?!"
"Is a dark upheaval about to begin?!"
The aura of the Qilin Ancient Emperor swept across the eight wastelands like a tsunami. Hundreds of millions of living beings in the nine heavens and ten earths, and cultivators in all the myriad realms, regardless of their cultivation level, couldn't help but tremble and instinctively looked towards the source of that oppressive force.
In an instant, the entire universe seemed to revolve around the Primordial Ancient Mine, and all eyes were focused on the Qilin that had suddenly appeared. Even the stars in distant star fields seemed to pale in comparison to this imperial majesty.
Hundreds of millions of miles away, in a secluded valley, a sickly old man was being supported by a girl dressed as a man. His breath was weak, as if he would die at any moment, but his gaze pierced through endless space, landing directly in the direction of the Primordial Ancient Mine. He murmured to himself, "After the passing of the Azure Emperor, in this world where no one has attained enlightenment, I never expected that an ancient emperor would be born today—"
The old man's gaze seemed to reach the heavens above and the netherworld below. Gazing at the giant, blue-purple unicorn, he sighed softly, "Perhaps it's time for this old man, Gai Jiuyou, to do his part—"
At this moment, in the northern sky, the ancient Qilin Emperor, tens of thousands of miles long, was suspended in mid-air. Its ancestral head was slightly raised, and its blue-purple scales reflected the light of the sun and moon. Ancient runes appeared on its skull, and beams of light tore through the universe.
This marks the return of the Supreme Emperor to the world after millions of years.
"Here comes the stick!"
The two words he uttered were not loud, but they were powerful and resounding, causing the entire Eastern Wilderness to tremble three times.
His aura was overwhelming, suppressing all realms and paths, his power reaching the heavens, displaying the supreme status of being the only one worthy of respect in the world.
"boom!"
After a loud bang, a dazzling blue light suddenly appeared in the outer starry sky. The light tore through the dark universe, pierced through the boundless star field, and rushed towards the Big Dipper star field like a meteor, with an extremely fast speed.
"What is that?!"
All who gazed upon the Northern Region were utterly astonished.
With just a soft shout, he was able to summon a weapon of unparalleled power. Moreover, the weapon was fully revived during its flight, and the supreme majesty of the Primordial Emperor spread out, causing the heavens and earth to pale in comparison.
The weapon was entirely azure, crystal clear, and radiated eternal brilliance, illuminating the entire eastern wilderness wherever it passed.
Its oppressive aura was terrifying; every breath made even a Great Sage-level expert tremble. Even those separated by billions of miles, including a regional patriarch, couldn't help but kneel on the ground, lacking the courage to even look up.
The sun, the moon, and all the stars in the sky paled in comparison to this blue light, as if all the light in the world had been swallowed up by this weapon.
"It's—the Qilin Staff!" Finally, someone recognized the weapon, their voice trembling with shock. "That's the ancient imperial weapon of the Fire Qilin Cave! Back when we attacked the Eternal Starfield, it was suppressed by the Dao Yan lineage using immortal robes and an ancient imperial formation. I never expected it to be summoned back today!"
As the news spread, everyone wore expressions of disbelief.
The Great Sage Yanqi of Huolin Cave perished because of the suppression of the Qilin Staff, and the ancient prince Huoqizi went far away to the edge of the universe and his whereabouts are still unknown.
Now that the Qilin Staff has returned, the answer is clear: that blue-purple giant Qilin is none other than the Qilin Ancient Emperor, the progenitor of the Fire Qilin Cave!
"How is this possible? The Ancient Emperor Qilin is still alive?"
"Millions of years have passed. Even a master of the Imperial Path should have passed away by now. How did he manage to do it?"
The world was shocked! Countless cultivators gaped, exclamations rising and falling. The scene was too unreal, making many people's scalps tingle.
Only figures of the caliber of the Great Sage and the Patriarch remained relatively calm.
To this day, all signs have indicated that a being of this caliber must be slumbering in the forbidden zone of life. However, the birth of the Qilin Ancient Emperor has for the first time laid bare the fact that the Ancient Emperor was not dead, overturning everyone's preconceived notions.
The entire universe trembled at this news.
That ancient supreme being, who once dominated the heavens and the earth, ruled the universe and judged the eight wastelands, and whose presence commanded the submission of all living beings, has actually returned against all odds!
"The Ancient Emperor Qilin has never participated in the Dark Turmoil, so why did he choose to emerge at this time?" Gai Jiuyou gazed towards the Northern Region, his brows furrowed, his mind filled with questions.
"Now is not the time for the path to immortality to begin, but it is close to it—could it be—that his life force has been depleted to the point of collapse, and he wants to replenish his life essence through the dark turmoil?"
All the major realms trembled with fear at this news.
That ancient supreme being, who once dominated the heavens and the earth, ruled the universe and the eight wastelands, and whose presence commanded the submission of all living beings, has actually returned against all odds!
"The Ancient Emperor Qilin has never participated in the Dark Turmoil, so why did he choose to emerge at this time?" Gai Jiuyou gazed towards the Northern Region, his brows furrowed, his mind filled with questions.
"Now is not the time for the path to immortality to begin, but it is close to it—could it be—that his life force has been depleted to the point of collapse, and he wants to replenish his life essence through the dark turmoil?"
He might have the strength to fight against a powerful emperor, but against a true ancient emperor, even if he risked his life, he might not be able to kill him.
For a time, Gai Jiuyou remained inactive, keeping a close eye on the movements in the Northern Region, and dared not make any rash moves.
"Who disturbed my slumber?!"
The Ancient Emperor Qilin roared once more, its voice shaking the billions of stars in the sky, as if they might fall at any moment.
