Chapter 1268: The Earth Beast Qilin! The Calamity Spreads!

The battle between the dragon and phoenix clans is in full swing.

Far away from the battlefield where the dragon and phoenix tribes meet, at the base camp of the earth beast Qilin, one of the four dominant forces, a heroic laugh pierced the sky.

"Hahaha! This is such a great show!"

Under the Sky Pillar, in a rough yet majestic black stone hall, Qi Kuang, the patriarch of the Qilin clan of earth beasts, listened to the report of his clansmen, and could not hide the smile on his face.

"The Dragon and Phoenix tribes are fighting each other, and it's only right that our Kirin tribe is the one reaping the benefits. It would be best if both sides were to suffer heavy losses and perish together, which would be the perfect ending."

As He laughed, the earth within a radius of several light years trembled spontaneously, responding to His laughter.

Inside the main hall, the other Qilins, who were also sub-god elders of the Qilin clan of earth beasts, also had smiles on their faces.

The resounding voice of Jin Yao, the extremely tall Golden Qilin Elder, clad in pure gold armor, rang out.

"What the clan leader said is absolutely right, but we still can't be too happy too soon. Don't forget, the seven saints who destroyed the immortal race haven't made any move yet."

Upon hearing this, the expressions of everyone in the hall suddenly calmed down. It was obvious that they were quite afraid of the Seven Saints who destroyed the dominant immortal clan with the strength of only seven people.

As one of the most powerful forces in the entire [Ultimate Continent], whether it is the Dragon Clan, the Phoenix Clan, the Earth Beast Qilin Clan, or the Immortal Clan that has been exterminated, they must all think that they are the most powerful force in the [Ultimate Continent].

But the actual situation is that they know very well that the strength of the other major hegemonic forces except themselves is no worse than their own.

If we have to rank the four dominant forces, the Immortal Clan, not counting An Lan's secret plan, can only be ranked fourth in terms of apparent strength.

But no matter what, they are of the same order of magnitude.

If the other three races want to destroy the immortals, they must at least be prepared to injure 1000 enemies and 800 of their own.

Such a behemoth of the same size was destroyed by a mere seven sub-gods. While being shocked, the Qilin clan of earth beasts had to be wary of them.

Hearing Jin Yao's words, the Fire Kirin Elder Yan Xiao, who had a relatively more irritable temper, snorted coldly.

"Hmph, I don't believe that the Seven Saints destroyed the Immortal Clan without paying any price. Maybe they are seriously injured now and are hiding in a corner to heal their wounds."

"Besides, our Qilin clan has never had any conflicts with them, so there is no need to be restrained by their existence."

Mu Huaji, the elder of Mu Qilin, echoed gently.

"What Yan Xiao said makes sense. The Seven Saints attacked them because the Immortals were the first to do so. That's why they launched a counterattack after their strength reached its peak. We haven't had any direct conflict with them. Perhaps we can have a good exchange in the future."

As she spoke, Mu Huaji looked at Qi Kuang.

"Chief, since the Dragon and Phoenix tribes have already started an all-out war, should our Earth Beast Qilin tribe also make some preparations?"

"At the very least, we should send more members to garrison at the border between our tribe and the Dragon and Phoenix tribes, to prevent the escalation of the war from affecting our territory."

Qi Kuang's tall and majestic body sat steadily on the throne in the core of the hall. When he heard Mu Huaji's words, he rubbed his chin with his big hands like a palm-leaf fan.

Qi Kuang's image looks like a reckless man.

But as the leader of a clan, apart from being the most powerful of the earth beast Qilin clan, he is certainly not a brainless idiot.

"What Mu Yatou said makes sense. We should indeed send our clansmen to garrison there, but we need to carefully consider the number of troops we should send in order to prevent the Dragon and Phoenix clans from reacting in a stressful manner if too many troops are deployed."

"Chief, no matter how many people you send, I, Lei Hong, will be the vanguard general to witness the excitement. You won't refuse this small request, right?"

Before the decision to send the tribesmen was finalized, Lei Qilin elder Lei Hong could not wait to ask for the order.

Because of his eagerness, terrifying lightning snakes kept appearing on the dark purple heavy armor, making the air around Lei Hong emit a strange smell of burning.

"I say, Lao Lei, this is a bit unkind."

"Why should you be the vanguard general? I want to join in the fun too."

After hearing what Lei Hong said, Fire Kirin Elder Yan Xiao looked very unhappy and started to argue with him directly.

"What? You don't accept it? Do you want to fight?!"

As he spoke, the lightning around Lei Hong's body grew stronger, and a shadow of a huge and indistinct Thunder Qilin could be vaguely seen gathering behind him.

The aura of raging thunder that annihilates all things spreads, bringing with it a sense of destruction on a conceptual level.

"Fight me if you want. Don't think you're better than me just because you beat me last time. I just didn't eat enough that day."

Dark red flames ignited beside Yanxiao, with a semi-solid texture like magma, and a projection of a flame Qilin that was no weaker than the one opposite also condensed.

The inextinguishable flames that burn everything and the thunder that destroys the universe are constantly rubbing and colliding in the hall, even tearing out many tiny cracks in the space.

"enough!"

Seeing that the two Qilin elders were about to fight, Qilin Kuang, the clan leader, was the first to speak up to stop them.

The terrifying aura that completely surpassed the two Qilin elders disappeared in a flash, and the projection of a black jade Qilin that was much larger than the two elders appeared and forcefully suppressed the projections of the two elders.

As a result, the eyes of the two Qilin elders, who were originally a little angry, became much clearer. After glaring at each other, they obediently put away their strength.

"Since both of you have this plan, then go over there and take up garrison duty, closely monitoring all movements of the Dragon and Phoenix tribes."

After saying this, without waiting for Yan Xiao and Lei Hong to show any joy, Qi Kuang warned them with a serious face.

"But remember, without my order, you are absolutely not allowed to clash with the Dragon and Phoenix tribes. Even if they attack, you must prioritize defense and wait for my order before taking further action."

"If I knew you dared to act on your own."

As he spoke, Qi Kuang's gaze, which contained a terrifying pressure, fell directly on the two elders, making the two elders feel tremendous pressure.

"You all know the consequences."

After hearing Qi Kuang's warning, Yan Xiao and Lei Hong couldn't help but look at each other, then turned and bowed to Qi Kuang in a very serious manner.

"Follow the orders of the clan leader!"

Qilin waved his hand, and Yanxiao and Leihong immediately left the hall, ready to seize the time to gather their clansmen and those beast races that were dependent on the Qilin clan.

After Yan Xiao and Lei Hong left, the Golden Qilin Elder Jin Yao looked at their departing backs and asked in a worried tone.

"Chief, is it really okay to let these two reckless guys serve as the leading generals?"

"Don't worry, they may seem a bit reckless on weekdays, but they still know their limits when they are on the battlefield."

Speaking of this, Qi Kuang seemed to feel that it was indeed a bit too hasty to let these two hot-tempered guys go together.

So he prepared to add a safety measure and said to the Earth Qilin Elder Shi Yan who had remained silent throughout the whole process.

"Elder Shi, you go with the two of them."

"You are a steady person. If those two guys really do something impulsive, stop them immediately and say it was my order."

"..."

The taciturn Shi Yan did not say anything, but just nodded to Qi Kuang, and left the hall slowly to catch up with the two elders.

Watching the three elders leave, Jin Yao always had an indescribable feeling in his heart.

It was an inexplicable bad feeling.

But when I think about it specifically, I don’t know what’s wrong.

"I'm probably just overthinking it. The Dragon and Phoenix tribes are fighting fiercely right now, so how could they have the energy to bother with my Earth Beast Qilin tribe?"

Jin Yao shook his head and stopped thinking about it.

In fact, not only Jin Yao, but the remaining Qilin elders in the hall had more or less similar feelings, even Qi Kuang was no exception.

However, under the influence of the spreading calamity, everyone subconsciously ignored some details that they should have paid attention to in their daily lives.

For example, Qi Kuang did not take into account that with Yan Xiao and Lei Hong's hot tempers, they would never hand over to their clansmen.

Shi Yan's silent personality also meant that he would not speak on his own initiative.

In other words, those clansmen and affiliated families who followed the three elders to the border area would not know the orders that Qi Kuang had issued at all.

If something unexpected really happens, it is likely to directly evolve into a full-scale conflict.

By that time, because it was very close to the battlefield between the two tribes, the density of the calamity energy was far greater than that of the base camp of the Earth Beast Qilin tribe.

It goes without saying that at that time, it would be difficult for them to consider the orders that Qi Kuang had issued.

The result...

……

"Roar!!!"

Accompanied by a fiery roar, two huge and boundless Qilin appeared between heaven and earth.

A Qilin was wrapped in dark red flames as thick as magma, and with every move it made, it burned and distorted the surrounding space.

The other Qilin was wrapped in terrifying dark purple lightning. As the lightning snake moved around, it emitted bursts of terrifying thunder sounds.

In the middle of the two Qilins, Salt, who was wearing thick earth armor, did not reveal his true form and still maintained his human form.

Compared with the two elders' gigantic Qilin bodies, which are hundreds of billions of kilometers tall, the stone weirs that are several meters tall are not even a speck of dust.

Below the three elders, the members of the Earth Beast Qilin clan and those affiliated groups have gathered.

Following the order from the elders, the mighty beast army left the center of the [Ultimate Continent] and headed towards the border between their own territory and the battle between the dragon and phoenix tribes.

If the dragon clan is the ruler of all scaly creatures on the [Ultimate Continent], the phoenix clan is the supreme king of all avian races.

The Kirin clan of earth beasts is the big brother of all the beast races on the [Ultimate Continent]. The three categories directly occupy the vast majority of life species on the [Ultimate Continent].

It is said that the immortals are the weakest of the four major forces.

Although their individual strength is not weaker than that of the three tribes, and their outstanding members are even stronger than the geniuses of the three tribes, the number of immortals is really too small.

They were not as arrogant as the other three tribes, who chose to gather related tribes for their own use, but treated them as slaves to do whatever they wanted.

When such a race becomes powerful, naturally no one will make things difficult for themselves, and everyone will choose to offer sacrifices to them honestly.

But once they encounter any problems, they will inevitably be deserted and isolated.

that's the truth.

When the immortals were destroyed, all the slaves who had been exploited by them chose to stand by and watch, and even gloated over their demise.

As the saying goes, if you get the right way, you will get more help, but if you get the wrong way, you will get less help.

Nothing more than that.

……

The sea in the north meets the endless volcanoes in the south.

The two forces that were fighting fiercely were unaware that the Earth Beast Qilin had already taken action.

Of course, even if they knew, they would not be able to stop the war now.

Starting a war may be easier than you think.

The end of the war was far from simple.

The members of the two tribes, who had remained relatively calm at the beginning of the war, were now blood-thirsty.

Under the continuous infiltration of the calamity spirit, the war began to develop in a more primitive and cruel direction, and the scenes on the battlefield became more and more bloody.

"Yan!!!"

Amidst the violent dragon roars, the ice dragon, which initially only used dragon breath to carry out long-range attacks, became extremely frantic.

At this moment, his entire body was covered in thick ice armor, and he was engaged in the most primitive battle with a giant Peng bird opposite him, whose strength was no less than that of an orthodox Phoenix demigod.

As the dragon claws swung, they tore scars on the body of the Roc, and feathers that were thousands of times tougher than metal flew all over the sky.

Some of the feathers that fall faster will even turn into indiscriminate sharp blades on the battlefield, cutting in half all lives that hit the edge of the feathers.

"Wow!!!"

On the contrary, the Peng bird's sharp claws and beak were also frantically biting the ice dragon's body.

The sharp claws with a cold glow scratched and continuously broke the ice armor on the ice dragon's body, and tore apart the dragon scales that were filled with cold air.

Every time the extremely sharp bird's beak pecked, it would take away a large piece of flesh and blood from the ice dragon.

There are too many similar situations on the battlefield at this moment.

"Wow!!!"

The demigod fire phoenix with a wingspan of billions of kilometers cried out.

The immortal fire of Nirvana reversed and became a terrifying magical power capable of burning the sky and boiling the sea.

The words "burning the sky and boiling the sea" here are not just adjectives.

Huge fires from the sky descended like meteors, directly boiling the ocean for hundreds of millions of kilometers below.

All the sea creatures within this range became delicious seafood feasts, and the aroma even stimulated the appetites of many bird species.

"Yan!!!"

The powerful demigod dragon broke into the array of many bird species as if it was in an empty space.

The mighty dragon breath swayed left and right with the dragon's head.

In an instant, countless birds turned into colorful corpses, bringing a large-scale bird rain to the earth.

It can be said that at this time, except for the top demigod, the overall battle situation of the Dragon and Phoenix tribes has reached the highest level.

In the midst of this fight, three Qilin elders arrived quietly with many of their clansmen and relatives.
