“Why have you summoned me?” Ancestor Lei Qi stood above.
His long cyan robe flapped loudly in the wind, surrounded by thunder and flames.
The crimson-eyed qilin and thunder dragon circled around him.
“Ancestor, someone seeks to destroy the Beast Taming Sacred Ground. None of us can stop him,” Jiang Shenglong replied quickly. “We could only ask you to come forth and save the lineage.”
“Who?” Ancestor Lei Qi frowned slightly and looked below.
Countless divine beast corpses were scattered everywhere, calling it a river of blood would not be an exaggeration.
“Who did this?” Ancestor Lei Qi asked calmly.
But his tone was heavy, filled with underlying fury.
“Him,” Jiang Shenglong quickly pointed at Xu Zimo. “He attacked our lineage without reason and demanded we hand over all our beasts.”
Upon hearing this, Ancestor Lei Qi slowly turned around.
The crimson-eyed qilin and thunder dragon beside him roared.
“Truly, each generation brings forth new talent,” Ancestor Lei Qi sneered.
It was unclear whether he was amused or enraged.
“Boy, our Beast Taming Sacred Ground has stood for over a hundred thousand years. You're the first to dare charge in alone.”
Xu Zimo looked up and pointed at the sky above.
In the skies, Heaven's Will was forming.
Though Heaven's Will had not yet covered the entire sky, as long as one stood on the Primordial Heartlands, whether on the five continents or within the ten forbidden grounds, they could see it above.
“Heaven's Will is forming. The chaotic era will usher in a new ruler, one who will dominate this age,” Xu Zimo said with a smile. “And your Beast Taming Sacred Ground will be the cannon fodder that ends the old era.”
“You think you can use an imperial lineage as cannon fodder? Do you think you’re an emperor?” Ancestor Lei Qi snorted coldly.
“Kill him.” With a wave of his hand, the thunder dragon beside him charged at Xu Zimo.
Thunder roared, transforming into a pillar of lightning, striking toward Xu Zimo.
Xu Zimo stood motionless, letting the thunder explode around him.
“Too weak. Not even worthy of training my body,” Xu Zimo shook his head.
The thunder dragon, enraged, dived from the heavens.
Its lightning-covered tail smashed down heavily on Xu Zimo.
With a loud boom, thunder surged and exploded across Xu Zimo’s body.
Inside, his Power Vortexes spun wildly, and the phantom of the Heaven-Shattering Giant appeared behind him.
Veins bulged along his arms as he grabbed the dragon’s tail, swung it up, and hurled it toward Ancestor Lei Qi.
The crimson-eyed qilin roared and dodged the strike with Lei Qi on its back.
The thunder dragon howled, struggling to break free, but Xu Zimo’s strength was overwhelming, it had no chance of resisting.
Above, the crimson-eyed qilin’s third eye opened on its forehead.
From the pupil burst a flame, a crimson inferno.
It was the legendary Golden Crow Divine Flame.
According to legend, the sun itself was the form of the Golden Crow, and its fire was the most domineering in existence.
Facing the incoming red flame, Xu Zimo raised Shadow Tyrant, using its curved blade to block the attack.
The Golden Crow Flame clashed with Xu Zimo, locked in a stalemate.
Above, Ancestor Lei Qi sneered.
“Back then, Red Qilin Emperor bore Heaven's Will with the crimson-eyed qilin and became renowned across the Primordial Heartlands.
“Few know the qilin had a child. Before ascending, the emperor gifted it to me,” Lei Qi said, looking at the beast with satisfaction.
“An ordinary qilin is already the pinnacle among divine beasts. But this crimson-eyed one is a mutation formed from an ancient qilin devouring a Golden Crow. The flame on its brow is no different from the sun. How will you withstand it?”
Xu Zimo said nothing. He sheathed Shadow Tyrant and let the Golden Crow Flame blast his body.
Explosions echoed around him.
The ground cracked underfoot, and the surrounding void melted away.
Xu Zimo stared directly at the crimson-eyed qilin.
On his own forehead, a third eye slowly opened.
It was the Heavenly Tribulation God-Eyes.
Within that eye, lightning gathered, Chaos God Tribulation, the true supreme thunder.
A destructive aura brewed inside, and deep gray lightning spread outward.
In the next moment, that torrent of lightning surged forth with unstoppable force.
With a massive boom, the Golden Crow Flame was annihilated, along with the crimson-eyed qilin.
“No!” Ancestor Lei Qi shouted from the side.
But it was too late. Both the qilin and thunder dragon were obliterated in Xu Zimo’s Chaos God Tribulation.
That entire portion of the sky collapsed.
Everything returned to origin and silence.
“You… you…” Ancestor Lei Qi pointed at Xu Zimo, speechless for a long time.
Stunned and terrified, his mind went blank.
“The beasts in your forest are quite good. I’ve taken a liking to them,” Xu Zimo said.
The Beast Taming Sacred Ground was truly skilled at raising beasts, not only in quantity but in rarity.
Many were extinct elsewhere.
Some were even on the brink of extinction.
“I’ll take the beasts, but you all… are unnecessary,” Xu Zimo said with a grin.
“What are you planning?” the lineage members asked warily.
“Useless things don’t deserve to exist,” Xu Zimo replied.
He waved his hand, opening the void of the True Fate World.
The Dragon Gods and other sacred beasts of the Myriad Beast Realm descended from the God World.
In an instant, dragon might surged, and beasts ruled the sky.
“This…” The crowd was speechless in shock.
“Kill everyone in this beast forest,” Xu Zimo snapped his fingers.
Dragon Gods roared, spreading throughout the forest.
They hunted down every disciple of the Beast Taming Sacred Ground.
Instantly, chaos erupted. All life joined the battle.
But the disciples' strength was too weak. Aside from a few who held out momentarily, the rest were slaughtered.
As for Jiang Shenglong and the other top members, Xu Zimo left them for Chaos to handle.
Within half a day, the entire forest was purged.
Xu Zimo expanded his senses, confirming there were no mistakes.
Around him, aura surged. Shadow Tyrant stabbed into the ground.
A bottomless pit appeared in the earth.
Moments later, the land began to tremble.
Centered around the beast forest, a circular rift formed.
The land beneath the forest was lifted from below,
Splitting into a separate floating island.
The rift connecting to the God World widened, eventually swallowing the entire beast forest island.
“From now on, the Myriad Beast Race will be based on this suspended Beast Forest Island.”
