Primordial Era: I am a gourd vine, starting with seven gourds combined into one.

In the primordial world, the law of the jungle prevailed, and the strong were respected. If you weren't strong enough, you might be killed.

Even the Primordial Golden Immortal is the same.

Everyone was stunned by the death of the Fire Kirin King. The First Kirin was even more incredulous, so much so that it forgot to move and failed to defend itself.

Yuan Feng wielded his Phoenix Staff and struck him hard, knocking him to the ground.

Immediately, a deep, mournful whimper resounded, and the First Qilin rose to its feet.

Instead, he abandoned Yuan Feng and charged straight at Lin Yang's Hongjun incarnation, ready to fight him to the death.

Yuan Feng was also stunned. Only when she saw the First Qilin rushing towards Lin Yang's avatar did she come to her senses.

The Fire Kirin King is dead?

Although the Fire Kirin King was weaker than her, over the long years...

The Phoenix Clan she led fought alongside the Qilin Clan against the Dragon Clan, and the interactions between the two sides were still vivid in her mind.

Although the two sides have now parted ways and are even at odds with each other, Yuan Feng never expected that the other party would perish in such a way.

Yuan Feng hesitated for a moment, then neither stopped the First Qilin nor joined forces with Lin Yang to continue killing the remaining First Qilin.

Instead, it revealed its true form, flapping its wings to unleash boundless flames that burned fiercely.

But with a flap of its wings, it flew towards Mount Buzhou.

Ultimately, she couldn't bear to kill the First Qilin, so she turned her attention to the First Dragon.

Seeing this, the Fire Phoenix King followed suit.

Lin Yang ignored the two siblings and even disregarded the Qilin that was charging towards him.

After the Fire Qilin perished, its enormous true form was revealed.

Lin Yang waved his hand and picked up the Wuji Apricot Yellow Flag that had fallen to the ground.

Then--

From the west, three streams of light flew out from Lin Yang's true form.

These were the three flags that Lin Yang carried with him: the Xuan Yuan Water Control Flag, the Azure Lotus Treasure Flag, and the Ground-Leaving Flame Flag.

Moreover, it wasn't just these three flags; a streak of light also flew out from within the Zhou Tian Star Array in the starry sky.

That was also a flag: a plain-colored cloud-patterned flag.

Thus, at this moment, the five flags—one each for the east, west, south, north, and center—all gathered together.

Lin Yang has successfully collected all five innate flags!

"boom!"

Under Lin Yang's magical power, the Wuji Apricot Yellow Banner emitted a bright earthy yellow light.

Just as the Fire Kirin King had activated it before, Lin Yang used the Wuji Apricot Yellow Banner to sense the primordial land and borrow its power.

Instantly, boundless earth elemental power converged, transforming into countless earth-yellow lotus flowers.

Auspicious clouds of five colors bloomed.

This completely enveloped Lin Yang's external avatar.

"roar!!"

The Primordial Qilin transformed into its massive form, hundreds of millions of feet tall, and crashed fiercely into Lin Yang.

However, the power that the Wuji Apricot Yellow Banner wielded in Lin Yang's hands was immense.

It's much stronger than when it was in the hands of the Fire Kirin King.

Even though Lin Yang had only just acquired the flag and hadn't fully refined it yet, it was still the same.

Even when the First Qilin unleashed the Qiankun Cauldron and rammed it fiercely, it still couldn't completely break apart the earthen-yellow lotus flowers surrounding Lin Yang.

Endless, earth-yellow lotus flowers continuously generate, and no matter how many are smashed or broken by the Primordial Qilin, they will immediately regenerate.

Holding this flag and standing on the vast land, as long as the difference in strength is not too great, one is truly invincible.

It is in no way inferior to the Book of Earth.

The First Qilin crashed into itself, causing its head to bleed profusely and its entire body to feel sore and numb.

A sense of powerlessness welled up inside me.

Sadness is useless!

Anger is useless!

Fear is useless!

……

The First Qilin couldn't remember the last time he had felt this kind of weakling mentality.

They may never have been the weaker party themselves.

But today, he actually tried it.

The feeling of watching his wife die before his eyes, and being powerless to do anything about it, left Shi Qilin utterly helpless.

At this moment, the First Qilin completely forgot everything else.

All grand plans, all hegemony, all ambitions... are gone.

Without his wife, all of this seemed to have lost its meaning.

At this moment, Shi Qilin knew that if he couldn't break through the defense of the Wuji Apricot Yellow Banner, he would be in danger.

It's very likely that I will also be killed by Lin Yang.

But at this moment, he did not retreat; the thought of death had already taken root in his heart.

He was also going to follow his wife in death.

"roar!"

The First Qilin roared, its voice mournful and stirring, causing countless beasts to feel an overwhelming sense of sorrow for no apparent reason.

At this moment, the First Qilin mobilized the power of destiny belonging to the Qilin clan.

"Buzzing!!"

At the center of its brow, a hazy seal faintly appears.

That's the Qilin Seal.

This large seal gathers the fortune and power of the Qilin clan and blesses the First Qilin.

This caused the aura of the First Qilin to surge once again.

He has already done his best.

"boom!"

The Qiankun Cauldron also entered his body. Countless patterns, as if depicting the landscapes of countless mountains and rivers in the primordial world, flashed across the body of the Primordial Qilin.

The power of this innate treasure also combined with the Primordial Qilin, blessing him.

After doing all this in the blink of an eye, the First Qilin charged forward again with all its might.

"boom!"

This time, even with the strongest defenses of the Wuji Apricot Yellow Banner, they couldn't stop them.

Countless earthen-yellow lotus flowers and colorful auspicious clouds were shattered in an instant.

The Wuji apricot yellow flag inevitably fell to the ground.

The avatar of Lin Yang, sheltered in the center, was revealed. Tall and majestic, this avatar of Lin Yang remained unmoved even as the First Qilin was right before him.

After the First Qilin broke through the defense of the Wuji Apricot Yellow Banner, it shook its slightly dizzy head.

His vision blurred, and he could vaguely see the location of Lin Yang's avatar.

He roared again and lunged at Lin Yang.

however--

But at that very moment, three streaks of light—one blue, one red, and one black—rushed over.

"boom!"

Lin Yang's avatar had somehow developed four arms.

He grabbed the fallen Wuji apricot-yellow flag with one hand.

The other three hands grasped the three streams of light, each a different color.

He held the Azure Lotus Banner, the Flaming Banner, the Mysterious Origin Water Control Banner, and the Apricot Yellow Banner—four banners in total.

Lin Yang first waved the Azure Lotus Treasure Banner, and endless azure light emerged, but it transformed into a vine that suddenly wrapped around the four feet of the Primordial Qilin, tripping it to the ground.

With a loud bang, a cloud of dust filled the sky.

The Qilin roared angrily, but the Azure Lotus Banner also turned into light and flew out of Lin Yang's hand.

It landed to the east of the First Qilin.

From beneath the primordial earth, even more azure light surged forth, transforming into countless vines that coiled around the Primordial Qilin.

The Qilin struggled fiercely, tearing the countless vines apart.

But the countless vines are endless, and even if they break, they will regenerate quickly.

The First Qilin could never get rid of it.

Moreover, at this moment, Lin Yang waved the Flame Banner again, and a sky full of fire fell down.

Strangely, the fire did not burn the countless vines that sprouted from the Azure Lotus Banner.

Instead, they did not interfere with each other, but only targeted the First Qilin. The First Qilin was already flustered and at a loss when dealing with just one flag.

His current condition is really bad; the loss of his wife has left him in a daze.

Seemingly invaded by the aura of calamity, his reason was clouded, and he was only determined to fight Lin Yang to the death.

Even the one he was desperately fighting against wasn't Lin Yang's true form, but merely an avatar.

But he didn't care.

In this state, it would be a miracle if the Primordial Qilin could unleash even half of its full power.

So much so that they were at a loss as to how to deal with the two innate flags.

However, at this moment, Lin Yang showed no mercy whatsoever.

In a battle for supremacy, some will inevitably fall. If you don't want to be the one to fall, you have to harden your heart and let others fall.

Now that Shi Qilin has lost his mind because of his wife's death and is trying to kill himself, then that's just what he wants!

"boom!"

The Flaming Banner flew off the ground and landed to the south of the First Qilin, continuously generating various divine fires that burned towards the First Qilin.

Then, the Xuan Yuan Water Control Flag landed to the north of the First Qilin, unleashing a torrent of floodwaters that also rushed towards the First Qilin.

The apricot-yellow flag of Wuji flew above the First Qilin, emitting bursts of dazzling yellow light.

The First Qilin immediately felt an incredibly heavy force, as if the entire primordial earth was pressing down on it.

To make it impossible for him to move again.

The Qilin was constantly attacked by the four flags, and its body was injured, its bones were broken and its tendons were torn, and it let out a series of mournful roars.

Blood was constantly oozing from the eyes, ears, mouth, and nose, indicating that the internal organs were also damaged.

Wounded both internally and externally, he was on the verge of death, not far from his demise.

And all of this happened in a very short time.

At this moment, the last streak of light fell from the starry sky with a loud bang, landing directly to the west of the First Qilin.

A flag appeared, and it was none other than the plain-colored Cloud Realm Flag!
