1105: Chapter 326: I, the Emperor 1105: Chapter 326: I, the Emperor One by one, the Water Kirins struggled and leaped, shattering the waves of the North Underworld as they charged toward Su He.
Merely the soaring aura of the Kirins stirred and rolled the cold, heavy ocean.
It was set in stone, not real things.
If there really were dozens of Kyrins, the Qilin Clan would have long been the emperors of All Heavens and Myriad Realms.
Su He stopped holding back.
A group of Kirins, emitting the Qi of Stepping Sky Seven-fold, if he continued to hold back, he and Ji Feixue would be the ones to take a fall.
A stream of water sent Ji Feixue to the side, while at the same time his snake tail wiped across the brow of the Turtle Body, snatching the Toad and throwing it toward Ji Feixue, “Take good care of her for me!”
As soon as the Toad appeared, it was instantly frozen stiff, a Sturdy Ice Armor appearing over its body.
Hearing Su He’s words, it showed an incredulous face, wanting to protest but saw that Su He had already kicked out with all four limbs, charging toward the approaching Kirin Army.
He could only bite his tongue and, with difficulty, pull out his smoking pipe from his pocket and, sparking up, smashed it on himself, shattering the icy sheath and swam frog-style toward Ji Feixue.
Reaching Ji Feixue’s side, he extended a claw into the water stream wrapping around the Fairy, pulling her toward the edge.
While swimming, the smoking pipe circled threateningly in all directions, “Go find that Turtle Kid to fight; dare to come near me and I’ll overturn the Southern Sea and grind your ice cliffs to dust!”
Su He approved, crashing into the Kirin Army.
The Spirit Snake’s tail lashed like a whip, opening a Taiyuan chasm on the seafloor, and several Kirins tumbled into it at the same time.
“Fool!” The Toad sneered.
These Kirins only emitted the Qi of Stepping Sky Seven-fold but lacked Spirit Wisdom.
If the opponent were a Cultivator who had just entered Stepping Sky Seven-fold, they could not withstand their ice intentions and would be at a loss, ready to be slaughtered.
But for Su He, this frost was useless.
It was like a tiger entering a flock of sheep.
As long as he was careful not to be attacked by a group of Kirins at once, it was only a matter of time before he killed them all.
Su He maneuvered left and right, the Spirit Snake moving even more flexibly through the water, each tail strike crippling a Kirin.
Immediately after, either with a Mountain Divine God Seal or a Heavenly Punishment, he smashed down onto the Kirins, leaving heaps of shattered ice.
These Kirins only possessed a strong Kirin aura and lacked the methods of a Kirin; shattering them dispersed them completely.
Su He fought with fervor, but he did not realize that with each Kirin he killed, an icy breath from within the Kirins floated up, drifting aimlessly, not knowing where it would go.
Even his Eyes of Xuanwu failed to see this breath.
Only the endless Kirins from all directions charged toward Su He, like moths to a flame, as if seeking their own death.
The more Su He killed, the more alarmed his heart became.
Even if these dozens of Kirins were but false Stepping Sky Seven-folds, on the battlefield, they would be invincible!
Yet here, he had no idea what their purpose was?
Come!
Su He roared, and the Forbidden flag was planted with a thunderous crash, causing the surrounding Kirins to tremble and halt momentarily, before moving again.
The creation of these Kirins was not from mere magic skills.
But even with just that momentary pause, Su He had already dived into the pack of Kirins.
The Gluttonous Eating Method burst forth like a Dragon, with Dragon heads shooting out from both the snake and the Turtle Bodies, biting in all directions.
Listening to a series of gulping, jelly-like sounds, the Kirins collapsed thunderously.
The Taiyuan consumed, swallowing Kirins and seawater alike in a great gulp, leaving only a few who did not flee.
Those were struck one after another with the Mountain Divine God Seal, as the seawater shattered and surged in all directions, then settled back down, undulating back and forth.
Su He’s foot stamped down, and tranquility returned.
Looking around, the previous battle had not even slightly damaged the ice cliffs.
The sturdy ice on both sides remained the same, save for the ice pillars from above that no longer fell.
Su He’s Spirit Snake coiled, wrapping up Ji Feixue once more, and he moved toward the archway again.
This time with no obstacles, but as Su He stepped forward, the archway also moved a step forward, maintaining the same distance from him no matter how he moved.
Only by stepping back would the archway obediently move away a step.
Another of these tricks, Su He curled his lip slightly.
He had encountered many such things before, and each time the methods used were different.
But to break skill with force, to breakthrough with a method the other couldn’t trap, was sure to be right!
The Star Ring around him emerged, the Power of Time settled on his body, and with one leap forward, he merely swam forward rapidly, but it seemed as though he had broken something, and with a light stroke, he had already landed before the archway.
He paid no heed to the churning sea behind him, leaping through the archway, that sense of pitch-dark numbness enveloping him, and with a crash, he emerged on the other side of the archway.
Glancing down with the snake body, he saw Ji Feixue still in slumber.
The Star Ring wrapped around Su He as he looked back once more; the ice cliffs remained, quiet and cold.
Yet as the Star Ring flickered, passing through the archway, a stele next to it flickered in and out of visibility.
“Turtle Kid!” The Toad called out.
“Saw it.”
Su He shifted slightly forward, and the stele was fully enveloped in the Star Ring, revealing its shape.
It was just an ordinary rock, casually laid there.
But the two lines of dragon-like and phoenix-like script were overwhelmingly domineering.
[I have come, you may rest easy!]
[Yuan, you shall not enter this place!]
The two lines of ordinary script seemed capable of suppressing heaven and earth, making one feel insignificant at a glance—as if the entire Southern Sea was in the palm of their hand.
Even within the strokes of the script flowed a Star River, the stars themselves had to move in accordance with the strokes.
“Who is this?” The Toad asked, stunned for a long while.
Su He tilted his head, looking at the characters, characters he had never seen before, yet he felt oddly familiar with them.
That momentum!
That attitude of casual strokes that even commanded the Star River, he definitely had seen it somewhere before!
Su He rifled through all the texts he had ever read in his mind, yet he found no word or phrase that matched.
This was a truly top-tier existence.
Casually inscribing on an ordinary rock, it kept the ice cliff’s endless icy intent at bay for billions of years—this stele had been here for much more than tens of millions of years!
