Peerless Tang Sect: Hurricane Infinite Wind

Chapter 433 The 790,000-Year-Old Gale Kirin

Wu Xuan took a deep breath, his body turning from black to red, and his seven soul rings instantly shone with dazzling light. At this moment, Wu Xuan's ultimate wind was pushed to its limit.

All the pressure vanished like ice and snow the moment Wu Xuan stepped onto the last step. It was at this moment that Wu Xuan finally understood the purpose of these winding steps; they were used to screen the talents of wind elemental soul masters. The higher the talent, the easier it was to walk up the steps.

Even among the same extreme winds, there are differences in strength.

Except for encountering some trouble on the last few steps, the wind that Wu Xuan possessed was perfectly smooth all the way.

Looking at the heavy doors of the main hall ahead, Wu Xuan stepped forward and gently pushed them open.

Stepping into the Hurricane Temple, it was pitch black inside; not a single ray of light shone through the entire hall. The hall was very empty, and there were no ornate buildings in sight. The hall could be described as ancient and simple.

As Wu Xuan entered, a ray of light suddenly gathered from the center of the hall. Sensing this, Wu Xuan raised his right hand, and the six-pointed star array in his palm immediately burst forth with an incomparably dazzling light.

The light before him was unlike any he had ever seen before. It was a majestic and awe-inspiring light of royalty. The moment it appeared, the entire northern part of the Fallen Dragon Continent was affected by this ray of light.

Hurricane Canyon!!
This is one of the most dangerous regions on the entire Meteor Dragon Continent. This place is shrouded in terrifying hurricanes all year round. The strong winds make this canyon completely empty and barren.

The harsh environment here is secondary; the real danger lies in the dark vortexes suspended in the void of the canyon.

Even if people or spirit beasts that enter the canyon can withstand the powerful hurricane, they will certainly not be able to escape the elusive dark vortex.

Once caught in the dark vortex, there is virtually no chance of survival.

Despite the terrifying environment, one spirit beast remained unaffected and lived peacefully in this place.

The Qilin clan is extremely rare, numbering only a handful in the entire Meteor Dragon Continent. Yet, no other race on the Meteor Dragon Continent dares to underestimate or provoke the Qilin clan's authority.

The king of the Qilin clan was a super soul beast that had reached the level of 790,000 years. Such cultivation explains everything.

As the cyan-gold light rippled across the area, deep within Hurricane Canyon, where a vast expanse of azure and golden light converged, a colossal creature lying horizontally suddenly opened its tightly closed eyes.

His head resembled a dragon's head, with wide-open eyes like bronze bells, gleaming with a divine light that exuded a captivating majesty.

Its mouth revealed sharp, menacing teeth, and its breath carried the faint sound of thunder. Its mane stood on end like steel needles, displaying the ferocity of an ancient remnant. Its body was as robust as a giant lion, covered entirely in bluish-green scales that gleamed coldly in the sunlight, resembling an indestructible suit of armor. Its four claws were thick and sharp, their tips flashing with a chilling light. When it moved, it traversed the wind, surrounded by swirling hurricanes and auspicious clouds, further demonstrating its absolute control over the wind element.

The Chifeng Qilin is one of the five elemental Qilins, and the only wind-attribute Qilin in the Meteor Dragon Continent. An ancient species comparable to the Yin-Yang Chaos Bird, although its noble bloodline is no longer pure and it no longer possesses the heaven-defying power of its ancient ancestors, it still reigns supreme on this continent.

The Chifeng Qilin's body isn't considered super huge, standing at around seven meters tall, but the strength of a ferocious beast isn't determined by its size, and this Chifeng Qilin before us is the best proof of that.

"This aura seems to be coming from the Heavenly Ladder Mountain, but why?" Chifeng Qilin flashed out of Hurricane Canyon, gazing at the sky and muttering to himself.

That kind of area was a place that even he couldn't set foot in, so he naturally didn't believe that anyone could reach the summit before him.

The next instant, a beam of light shot into the sky from the Hurricane Temple, illuminating tens of thousands of miles of territory. Chifeng Qilin stared blankly at the scene before him, his expression filled with extreme shock and anger. As the first person to discover the rules of the Heavenly Ladder Mountain, he had climbed that unreachable ladder more than once, but all he had encountered was failure.

It was through those repeated failures that he gradually learned to reflect and learn from his mistakes. He realized that simply working hard without any real results would not yield any progress.

He learned what cultivation, as humans call it, truly meant. He used the pure wind element energy of Hurricane Canyon to cultivate, allowing his soul power to break through rapidly. Then, he climbed Heavenly Ladder Mountain, using the terrifying pressure on the mountain to refine his rapidly advancing soul power.

Thus, he rose from an unknown nobody to become the second most ferocious beast on the continent in just over 100,000 years.

It can be said that his success is inseparable from Tianti Mountain!
Now he has grasped the true meaning of the ultimate wind, and he has taken the final step. As long as his spiritual power reaches that legendary level of form and substance, he will surely be able to climb to the highest peak of the Heavenly Ladder Mountain.

He believed that day was not far off.

Unexpectedly, someone else reached this level before him and climbed to the top of Tianti Mountain.

This pursuit of tens of thousands of years has come to naught, causing the second-ranked super soul beast on the continent to erupt in fury.

With a roar, Chifeng Qilin released the pent-up frustration and resentment in its heart, then transformed into a streak of light that shot towards the location of Wu Xuan and the other person.

Wu Xuan was inside the cyan-gold pillar of light. He felt a special energy fluctuation that was like a sudden enlightenment. His whole body felt as if it were immersed in a cool liquid, which was indescribably comfortable.

As if something within him had been touched, nine square, pale blue light screens appeared out of thin air before him. The first screen shone the brightest, while the other eight were somewhat dim. Before Wu Xuan could think further, these light screens, like shooting blue stars, floated directly into his right palm.

The six-pointed star pattern crumbled inch by inch, and as the fragments of the broken six-pointed star swirled, they gradually transformed into a howling hurricane.

At this moment, Wu Xuan felt that his meridians were unblocked and his spiritual power was exceptionally solid. The light that had surrounded him earlier had also completely disappeared.

Immediately afterwards, Feng Shen's clear voice rang in Wu Xuan's ears.

"The Wind God's Trial!! Soaring Upwards on the Wind! Completed!"

"The first test is over. The Wind God's affinity has increased by five percent, and the age of all soul rings has increased by three thousand years."

"The second trial of the Wind God! Ascending the Heavenly Ladder, completed!"

"The second test is over. Wind God Affinity increased by 5%, and Soul Ring Age increased by 5,000 years."

"????"

"So that's it, both tests are done?" Wu Xuan was somewhat taken aback. What kind of test was this set up by the Wind God?
Wu Xuan had no idea that the simple first test had already secured a super soul beast that was 790,000 years old and had been around for tens of thousands of years.

"The Third Trial of the Wind God: A Battle to the Death!"
