Chapter 711

Victory?
Translated by Jouissance of Exiled Rebels Scanlations

By the time Lin ShaoYi realized what the other was planning, it was too late. The massive Qilin opened its jaws. Suddenly, a powerful force appeared, targeting the devil mask and drawing it inwards. Caught off guard, the immense cloud of blood was sucked in. When Lin ShaoYi wanted to pull it back out, a third of the blood cloud had already entered the Qilin’s maw.

It was almost as if everyone could hear the sound of chewing. It didn’t take long before half the devil mask was devoured. As if it could feel pain, the devil mask let out a blood curdling scream, gratingly harsh on the ears. Some people had to cover their ears, but it didn’t have too big of an effect.

“Bastard!” Lin ShaoYi cursed, screaming in rage. His entire face was red, almost like it was about to bleed. He put his all into strengthening the blood cloud, but no matter what he did, it wasn’t enough. The devil mask was still pulled in bit by bit, devoured by the massive qilin little by little.

The situation wasn’t looking good for him at all. Lin ShaoYi hardened his heart and gritted his teeth, abandoning the majority of the blood cloud and devouring what little remained himself, as if afraid it would be devoured by the massive qilin. He still didn’t understand where Ling Xiao got his white fire from. Logically speaking, he had Ling Xiao were in the same circumstance, so why did the other have what he didn’t?

Across from him, the massive qilin smacked its lips, dissatisfied, before turning back into flame and returning to Ling Xiao. This exchange once again ended in Ling Xiao’s favor.

Lin ShaoYi couldn’t figure out why, so he decided to stop bothering to try. Perhaps he and Ling Xiao were in different circumstances. If he kept at it, he’d only lose confidence in himself, and he refused to let that happen. At this thought, he bellowed, a terrifying power spreading out, as if the very earth was trembling and the skies were about to collapse…

The crowd’s hearts fell.

It seemed like the blood cloud wasn’t Lin ShaoYi’s ace up the sleeve. What followed would truly be the decisive factor.

That was when Lin ShaoYi’s form wavered, like it was about to disappear, yet in the next moment, everyone was dumbstruck.

Lin ShaoYi’s original form was a qilin. Even if he had obtained the bloodlines of the Demon Phoenix, True Dragon and Black Turtle Clans, he was still a qilin. That wouldn’t change, unless he was born with it like Ling Xiao.

However, what now stood in front of everyone wasn’t a qilin.

If You XiaoMo had to describe it, he could only say it didn’t look like anything in particular. This demon beast had an extremely odd appearance, it held hints of the qilin, but also the other three clans. It might look strange, but the terrifying aura it emitted was much stronger than any of the four demon beasts. It even had a third eye on its forehead, though it was shut tight at the moment.

A dense miasma clung to it, silent but oppressive. Then, that third eye suddenly opened in the dark mist, the gaze of that blood red iris causing one’s very soul to tremble, like a beast that had crawled out of the abyss, staring directly at Ling Xiao.

“Ling Xiao, this is my true form after becoming the Almighty, a king above all else. I know that you’re the same. Come, show me your true strength. I want you to remember who it was that defeated you!” The demon beast stared straight at Ling Xiao, speaking in a human voice, but cold seeped out of his eyes and it’s aura pressed down against the world.

Hearing this, everyone immediately looked to Ling Xiao.

A strange smile appeared on Ling Xiao’s calm face. “You think that’s enough to defeat me? I’m surprised that you have such a naive side to yourself, Lin ShaoYi. It’s alright though. Let me widen your scopes and show you what a real king is like!”
