In the scroll, the creature that symbolized auspiciousness leapt out from the painting, took human form, and stood with his hands clasped behind his back.
Surrounding him was a brilliant light, and an aura of auspiciousness enveloped him, supremely good and beautiful!
Merely by appearing, the edict of the Celestial Ancestor Emperor on the sky vault above trembled.
The will incarnation of the Celestial Ancestor Emperor was extremely fearful at this moment!
“Kirin Holy Emperor… No, how could it be… The Kirin Holy Emperor and the White Tiger Saint Sovereign have both perished in the calamity of Yang…”
“The Kirin Clan has been annihilated; the Kirin Holy Emperor couldn’t possibly still be alive…”
“How could he exist within a painting…”
At this moment, everyone who heard these four words was shocked.
The common people knelt on the ground, prostrating and trembling.
And the Saint Monarchs, Saints, and the like, were even more astonished at this moment.Kirin Holy Emperor…
Had this ancient, invincible powerhouse really reappeared?
In the sky vault above, the edict trembled slightly!
In Kirin Valley, the Kirin Holy Emperor, with his back to the masses, looked up at the flickering phantom in the edict of the Celestial Clan on the sky vault and shook his head with a sigh:
“You call yourselves Celestials… but are merely the scum of the Human Race. Although you are a Saint Emperor, you lack the spirit of Xuanyuan, and you lack the courage of the Flame Emperor, skulking and gasping for life, presuming to flaunt and sell your prestige in this world!”
The will incarnation of the Celestial Ancestor Emperor on the sky vault above was also unwilling to the extreme!
“Kirin Holy Emperor… You’re no more than a mere projection left of yourself, you can’t suppress me!”
The Celestial Ancestor Emperor shouted, as myriad strands of energy cascaded down!
However, the Kirin Holy Emperor merely raised his hand slightly.
In an instant, countless strands of energy that were falling from the sky vault disappeared at that moment.
The phantom of the Celestial Ancestor Emperor seemed to be under the pressure of some terrifying force and began to dissipate!
And that edict instantly turned pale and powerless!
With a raise of his hand, the Kirin Holy Emperor erased everything of that edict!
The common people trembled, and the world was stricken with horror!
The Saint Monarchs and Saints kneeling on the ground were even more prostrate with trembling, lying face down to the ground!
“Kirin Holy Emperor… I may yet live, but you are already dead; this enmity, I will avenge one day!”
The Celestial Ancestor Emperor let out a reluctant roar, but in the next moment, turned into nothingness!
That pale edict slowly floated to the ground, having lost all of its divine power!
The will incarnation of the Celestial Ancestor Emperor…
Destroyed!
At this moment, between heaven and earth, only the Kirin Holy Emperor stood supreme alone!
“No…”
The Saint Monarchs of the Celestial Clan and Saints of all clans shivered, profoundly shaken, prostrated on the ground.
The Kirin Holy Emperor of the past, even if only a projection was left, still possessed invincible might.
In the sky, the Kirin Holy Emperor slowly looked back, his gaze sweeping over Linluo Plain, seeing the broken walls and the scars of old landmarks.
The glory of the past had vanished without a trace.
The ancient Kirin trees were shattered, the emperor’s seat was broken and scattered, no longer bearing the glory of old…
The Kirin Holy Emperor sighed lightly.
“Nothing remains…”
“The White Tiger and I, we were defeated… perished a million years ago.”
He murmured, his gaze falling on an old tree stump.
The nearly dissipating will incarnation of the Old Tree Spirit now excitedly paid his respects to him.
“Holy Emperor… Holy Emperor!”
Old Tree Spirit’s tears flowed freely!
“After a million years, to see you once more is a comfort…”
The Kirin Holy Emperor nodded, waving his hand, “No need to use up your last strength, leave behind a glimmer of a chance for rebirth.”
Immediately, the Old Tree Spirit turned into a beam of light, entering the old tree stump.
He had sealed the last remnants of the Old Tree Spirit’s soul.
The Kirin Holy Emperor then turned and saw the painting in Lin Jiu Zheng’s hand.
“What kind of extraordinary being revived a projection of my past from destruction, allowing me to see this world again… How fortunate!”
He slowly descended, arriving in front of Lin Jiu Zheng.
The Little Kirin rushed to him, tears brimming in its large eyes, waving its small hooves, and calling out in a babyish voice.
The Kirin Holy Emperor looked at the Little Kirin, and in his eyes that had experienced the vicissitudes of time, a smile of relief appeared suddenly.
“The Kirin Clan lives on only in the Yin Realm… you are my only descendant now.”
He gently touched the Little Kirin’s head, then suddenly raised his eyes, gazing at Lin Jiu Zheng.
“In you, it seems I see a trace of a familiar figure from the past… but you are not him, you are stronger.”
The Kirin Holy Emperor spoke.
Lin Jiu Zheng was momentarily startled upon hearing this.
Was this the Kirin Holy Emperor, the most powerful entity between heaven and earth, engaging in a conversation with him?
“Could you please adopt my clan’s offspring?”
The Kirin Holy Emperor continued to ask, his words very sincere.
Lin Jiu Zheng was all the more surprised, but he hurriedly nodded, saying,
“My master sent me here precisely for this purpose!”
“Please be assured, forebear, I will take good care of it!”
He promised!
The Kirin Holy Emperor, hearing this, nodded his head, saying,
“Thank you!”
He bowed his head, gently waved his hand, and Little Kirin had already landed in front of Lin Jiu Zheng.
“Ao ao!”
The Little Kirin desperately wanted to return to the Kirin Holy Emperor’s side, its eyes filled with tears, but it could not move at all!
“I have died, and am nothing more than a projection… Following that senior, you can survive the calamity of Yang…”
“You are now the hope of our entire Kirin Clan.”
He looked at the Little Kirin, raised his hand, and a ray of light entered its brow.
“This is our clan’s method, but it’s incomplete, having awaited millennia in the Yin Realm. Now with that senior’s presence, he will help you complete it.”
After finishing his words, the Kirin Holy Emperor turned to look at the Black Dog nearby, suddenly bowed, and said,
“Greetings, senior!”
The Big Black Dog studied the Kirin Holy Emperor, its dog eyes filled with skepticism, saying,
“What do you know?”
Kirin Holy Emperor said:
“I have encountered snippets of prophecy in the ancestral teachings, which claimed that our clan has undergone countless cycles of reincarnation, all for the sake of waiting for one person. Unfortunately, we missed that opportunity…”
He smiled faintly and continued:
“Now, we have found him.”
“He will…”
He was speaking normally, but the words after “He will” vanished into thin air, impossible to hear, as if concealed by the passage of time or swallowed by a black hole.
The Kirin Holy Emperor’s brow furrowed in a bitter smile as he said:
“This involves supreme karma; no one can speak of it, and no one can hear.”
In his heart, he was filled with emotion. He was a Holy Emperor, arguably the most powerful being in the Yin Realm, yet he still lacked the privilege to utter a few more words.
What level had that predecessor touched?
Big Black Dog nodded its head and said:
“There is no need for further words; I understand naturally.”
“Your clan may have missed some time, but…”
The words of Big Black Dog, just as they were spoken, like those of the Kirin Holy Emperor, were lost, unspoken and unheard.
Big Black Dog became immediately irritable and let out a bark: “Woof! Had I not stored the Dao Fruit in the Yang Realm, how could I be bound by such power…”
The Kirin Holy Emperor looked somewhat helpless and could only bow his hands in respect as he said:
“Little Kirin has good fortune and is the hope of the Kirin Clan. I beseech the predecessor to look after him well.”
Big Black Dog nodded and replied:
“Rest assured, I will keep a good eye on him. After all, apart from you, there are also…”
The subsequent words were once again obscured by that unspeakable power.
“Woof woof woof!”
Big Black Dog was so exasperated it struck the ground with its paw and said:
“I can’t be bothered to explain anymore!”
The Kirin Holy Emperor nodded and spoke:
“I still have unfulfilled wishes, so I will take my leave now.”
Having said that, he turned and departed.
With one step forward, the Kirin Holy Emperor was already ten thousand li away.
He stood with his hands behind his back, reigning over the North Immortal Domain!
At this moment, the vast expanse of the Immortal Domain trembled. When a Saint Emperor travels, mortals sense his presence!
Countless beings worshipping, bowing grandly in the direction of the Kirin Holy Emperor’s travels!
In the Middle Domain of the North Immortal Realm, the Ji Family.
The rolling Ji Water stretched far and long.
The Kirin Holy Emperor passed by.
In a flash, there seemed to be a shadow leaping out from the Ji Water, paying respects to the Kirin Holy Emperor!
“Xuanyuan in white, my future generation… His future life has finally realized the way of the Holy Emperor. My heart is greatly comforted…”
He murmured to himself.
The Kirin Holy Emperor had once had encounters with the Ancestor Emperor of the Ji Family, Ji Xuanyuan!
Ji Xuanyuan was once the prodigy he admired the most…
In that shadow, secret words also emerged:
“Xuanyuan, blessed with the predecessor’s teachings, when calamity from the Yang Realm approached, charged into the future, finally seizing the opportunity to verify the way of the Holy Emperor.”
The Kirin Holy Emperor nodded and stated:
“Very good, if he gains great fortune, perhaps he can break out of this damaged Yin Realm and enter the Yang Realm…”
“That is where the path of cultivation truly begins… Haha… May his Xuanyuan Sword be bathed in the blood of the Yang Realm, how exhilarating that would be!”
He sighed with a chuckle and then left.
Some time later, the Kirin Holy Emperor appeared in front of a vast Heavenly Palace.
This place was home to the Golden-Winged Peng Tribe, the only Imperial Clan within the Ancient Clan of the North Immortal Domain.
The Kirin Holy Emperor stood outside the Heavenly Palace; in an instant, the entire Golden-Winged Peng Tribe went on high alert.
Countless terrifying ancient beings emerged from their secluded meditation to pay their respects to the Kirin Holy Emperor.
“Greetings, Holy Emperor!”
One of the elders, ancient beyond measure and nearly withered away from countless years of living, spoke:
“Though he chose to flee back in the day, in the end, he perished within the passage of time…”
The Kirin Holy Emperor shook his head as though sighing.
The elder also heaved a deep sigh, saying:
“In his later years, our Saint Emperor passed away amidst regrets, once confessing that the most shameful and regrettable things in his life were not having fought alongside you and the White Tiger Saint Sovereign.”
The Kirin Holy Emperor shook his head and remarked:
“It’s all in the past.”
After speaking, he turned and departed.
All eyes of the world were upon him, as numerous major powers watched the movements of the Kirin Holy Emperor.
“He is in search of old friends…”
“What place will he go to next?”
“Which clan has a history with the Kirin Holy Emperor? Will he go to the Northern Border? It is said that the White Tiger Emperor Peak has reappeared in the Northern Border…”
The world speculated.
But soon, news spread.
The Kirin Holy Emperor appeared outside the only Land of Yang’s Prohibition in the North Immortal Domain.
It was a terrifyingly desolate mountain range!
The Land of Yang’s Prohibition in the North Immortal Domain — Heavenly Net Mountain Range!
As the Kirin Holy Emperor arrived at this range, suddenly, terrible auras seemed to awaken within the mountains!
“Ancient Kirin… why does a fading shadow come here?”
A grand voice echoed from within the mountains.
With one step forward, the Kirin Holy Emperor smiled faintly and said:
“Old Spider, why do you speak so?”
“You have colluded with ‘People of the Yang Realm’ and brought disaster upon the Immortal Domain. In the war of yesteryear, we did not eradicate you. Your arrival today means I will have to put this broken body on the line and drain all your Yang Energy!”
…
That day,
The North Immortal Domain was in turmoil!
A Divine Emperor, the Kirin Holy Emperor reappeared, stepping once more into the Land of Yang’s Prohibition!
