Primordial Era: From Primordial Human Race to Grand Luo Immortal

Chapter 43. The Tomb of the Qilin, Demon Ancestor Rahu
"The Qilin Tomb should contain the essence of the innate Wu Earth."

"But that place isn't very safe. The Earth Qilin among the Five Qilins is filled with resentment."

Zhen Yuanzi spoke slowly.

"The Tomb of the Qilin?"

Ji Yuan asked in confusion:
"Didn't the Qilin clan become auspicious omens after their bodies perish and the world turns into a symbol of good fortune?"

Zhen Yuanzi explained, "This statement is not entirely accurate. Although most of the Qilin clan have transformed into auspicious omens and are controlled by the Heavenly Dao, there are always those who do not submit."

"Among them, the Earth Qilin is the strongest of the Five Qilins, second only to the Primordial Qilin."

"After the First Qilin made the decision to transform into an auspicious omen, he defied the will of Heaven and attempted to destroy Mount Buzhou. He was later killed by the First Qilin, and his body was buried in the earth veins by his friend. When Rahu self-destructed, it drifted to the Wanshou Mountain area with the energy of the earth veins."

"I see."

Ji Yuan suddenly realized why the opportunity in the Wanshou Mountain area was also dangerous; it turned out that the Qilin Tomb was acting strangely.

It is not too late.

Ji Yuan stood up, clasped his hands in a salute, and said, "Uncle-Master Zhenyuan, I will now go to the Qilin Tomb to search for the essence of the innate Wu Earth."

Ji Yuan felt a sense of crisis. He was not far from the One Yuan stage, and breaking through to the Great Luo stage was a very long process. He didn't know how long it would take, so he had to hurry.

"Go ahead, but if things become impossible, just call me and I will pull you out of it."

With a flick of his sleeve, Zhen Yuanzi caused Ji Yuan to vanish from Wuzhuang Temple.

Zhen Yuanzi stared into the void, muttering to himself:

"If you were to be reincarnated and have no memories, would you still be you?"

"Reincarnation, oh reincarnation."

On the other side, Ji Yuan was directly teleported to the Qilin Tomb by Zhen Yuanzi using the earth's vein energy.

Before your eyes is a huge, pitch-black cave entrance, shrouded in black mist and teeming with resentment.

Ji Yuan habitually made some deductions, but the cause and effect were unclear. However, it was a good omen for Ji Yuan.

Ji Yuan summoned the Yin-Yang Lamp and hung it above his head before stepping into the cave.

After passing through a pitch-black barrier, Ji Yuan arrived inside the Qilin Tomb.

With the accumulation of resentment over several eons and the nourishment of the earth's vein energy, the Qilin Tomb has become a space of its own.

Upon entering the tomb, Ji Yuan felt his magical power being suppressed.

"This is incredibly malicious."

An overwhelming malice locked onto Ji Yuan, and a thick black mist swept across the area.

Ignoring the surging malice, Ji Yuan headed straight for the center of the Qilin Tomb.

The further Ji Yuan went, the more uneasy he felt; he couldn't resolve his resentment.

During his travels, Ji Yuan had resolved the resentment of many gods, but this time the resentment of the Qilin was truly as solid as a rock, and no matter how hard Ji Yuan tried, it had no effect.

A thought flashed through Ji Yuan's mind.

"Could it be that the Earth Qilin is still alive?"

When he reached the middle of the road, the pain in his mind made Ji Yuan stop.

A strange beast with an astonishing aura and an entirely black body strode towards Ji Yuan.

"Tu Qilin?"

Ji Yuan was somewhat uncertain, because the appearance of this strange beast, which resembled a Qilin, was really not flattering.

Its fangs protruded outwards, its flesh and bones rotted away, and its eyes showed no sign of life.

He suddenly thought of something.

"stiff!"

Born from the resentment of heaven and earth, it is outside the Five Elements and beyond the Three Realms. It has no seven emotions and has extinguished all six desires.

The zombie in front of us must be formed from the resentment of the Qilin.

Ji Yuan is preparing to flee. The quasi-saint's physical body has turned into a zombie, which is not something he can handle.

But Qilin didn't give him a chance to run away at all.

A terrifying roar erupted from its throat, and it charged towards Ji Yuan, riding on streaks of black energy.

Using the Yin-Yang Lamp as the array's core, Ji Yuan quickly set up a Yin-Yang Array, then took the Purple Lightning Hammer into his hand.

"Dutian Shen Lei!"

A bolt of chaotic divine lightning struck the Qilin zombie directly from the purple lightning hammer.

Ji Yuan originally thought the attack would be ineffective, but unexpectedly it directly shattered the Qilin Zombie's physical body.

"This is how the same thing?"

Ji Yuan examined the disintegrated body and found that it only had form but no substance. "This is not an Earth Qilin!"

"what on earth is it?"

Everything in this Qilin Tomb exudes an eeriness.

Ji Yuan secretly clenched the Zhuxian Sword Qi in his palm and continued to advance deeper into the area.

Soon after, a corpse radiating intense pressure appeared in front of them; it was the body of the Earth Qilin.

However, Ji Yuan did not approach. Although he had the Golden Body of Merit and Luck protecting him, he could only accept defeat when he encountered those who did not care about merit and luck.

"senior!"

"senior!"

Ji Yuan tried calling out to the Earth Qilin several times, but there was no response.

A thought flashed through his mind, and he transformed into a gentle breeze, entering the location of the Qilin Spirit Platform.

The interplay of reality and illusion, truth and falsehood, is a supernatural power that Ji Yuan comprehended during his ten thousand years of listening to the Dao, thanks to the ability to "reverse reality and illusion, and reverse cause and effect."

He called it "a fleeting thought in life," where a single thought is a "self," but the self and the original body only enjoy good results and do not suffer bad results.

It's too slow for one person to attain enlightenment; to truly understand, countless "selves" must do so together.

As the thought penetrated deep into his mind, a scene appeared before Ji Yuan's eyes.

The earth unicorn is confronting one person.

The man's black hair danced wildly, unrestrained and wild, as he sat cross-legged on a ninth-grade black lotus, radiating a destructive power capable of annihilating the world.

"Is this Rahu?"

That ninth-grade black lotus was so conspicuous that Ji Yuan immediately thought of Luo Hou, who had only escaped a trace of his true spirit during the Great Calamity of Dao and Demon.

"Young friend, help me defeat this Qilin, and I will impart to you the supreme Dao of Destruction and bestow upon you unparalleled spiritual treasures and miraculous medicines."

Luo Hou suddenly spoke to Ji Yuan, his words carrying a certainty and a sense of sacredness.

"Young friend, do not believe him. He is the Demon Ancestor Rahu. If he seizes my body, he will surely return with a vengeance, and the prehistoric world will never have peace!"

Qilin hurriedly said to Ji Yuan.

The two have been locked in a stalemate for thousands of years, and at this point, any external force could break the balance between them.

Ji Yuan glanced at the Qilin, whose eyes lit up. Then Ji Yuan looked at Luo Hou excitedly and said:

"So you are the Demon Ancestor Rahu. You are the one I admire most in my life."

Luo Hou was overjoyed upon hearing this: "All you need to do is..."

"Purple Sky Divine Thunder!"

It controls the thunder of divine punishment from the heavens, specifically targeting the soul.

With a loud shout from Ji Yuan, a dark purple divine lightning bolt struck directly at Luo Hou, but a black lotus rose beneath Luo Hou's seat, blocking the lightning.

Although Ji Yuan's attack was ineffective, it broke the balance between the two.

"Qilin Seal, come!"

The Earth Qilin seized the opportunity and directly unleashed the Qilin clan's treasured artifact, the Qilin Seal. Boundless earth energy surged forth, transforming into a divine mountain to suppress it.

Upon being struck, Luo Hou showed a hint of difficulty. He turned to look at Ji Yuan:

"The vast primordial world is indeed full of heroes. You, a mere Taiyi, were able to resist my bewitching. You are truly remarkable!"

"We are now bound by karma!"

After Luo Hou finished speaking, he transformed into a black wind and escaped from the Qilin Spirit Platform.

Unexpectedly, a divine lightning bolt struck the face of the Qilin's body.

"Dutian Shen Lei!"

Thunder surged, creating heaven and destroying the world!
Luo Hou hurriedly summoned his lotus platform, and a destructive force neutralized the divine lightning; bloodlust surged in his eyes.
"you!"

"Great!"

Then it completely disappeared without a trace.

The Eight Trigrams of the Primordial Chaos appeared behind Ji Yuan, and he used all his strength to deduce them before they returned to his body.

"As expected of the Demon Ancestor Rahu, he left not a single trace."

"To be able to escape from the Dao Ancestor is truly extraordinary; even after two attempts, he couldn't be captured."

He then looked at the earthen qilin's physical body, his heart filled with excitement.

The Great Luo is about to be formed!
