The Fate of Eternal Life

Chapter 103 A Minor Victory

"I am the only one!"

A Buddha statue of great compassion, wisdom, and majesty filled the heavens and earth, seated in the lotus position. With each palm strike, its magnificent divine power swept across the world, stirring up the winds and clouds!
"Roar……"

The Fire Kirin's long hair danced wildly as it let out a long howl, sending boundless sound waves straight towards the Buddha statue.

This is the roar of the Primordial Qilin. In its fury, mountains and rivers collapse, stars fall, and even the void itself crumbles.

The Buddha's hand touched the blue Dao pattern, causing the void to crumble inch by inch. Chaotic energy filled the space between the two, and a fierce collision occurred!
boom!
The spreading ripples, carrying a terrifying destructive force, pulverized the surrounding mountain peaks.

“As expected of the ancient emperor’s son, he is worthy of being my opponent.” Ning Qing said.

Fire Kirin's eyes were cold and ruthless. There was no doubt that he had attacked the weak with his strength, but he had not decisively defeated Ning Qing, which would have damaged his reputation if word got out.

In the distance, Huo Lin'er's beautiful eyes widened in astonishment, clearly not expecting the two sides to draw again.

"Arrogant!" Fire Kirin coldly uttered two words, revealing a hint of killing intent: "You want me as your opponent? Then I'll grant your wish!"

"Buzz!"

The Fire Kirin's body trembled, unleashing a dazzling radiance, transforming into a gigantic blue Kirin that emitted boundless light, its divine might overwhelming, like an ancient emperor descending upon the world, reappearing in the mortal realm.

He raised his hand and unleashed the forbidden secret technique—the Nine Forms of the Qilin! The blue Qilin behind him roared to the sky, its front hooves stomping down, merging with the Fire Qilin's fist, carrying a trace of the Great Dao, and hurtling forward.

Ning Qingyi also threw a punch, his "Buddha's Light Shines Everywhere" technique illuminating all directions. The divine radiance was like a vast ocean, engulfing the Qilin's body, intending to save it from death!
"boom!"

Undeterred, Huo Qizi unleashed a punch that resembled a blue dragon soaring through the sky, its fist cleaving through waves and causing the entire universe to crumble.

After a violent collision, both were sent flying backwards.

"Again!" Ning Qing's fighting spirit surged, and she was somewhat excited!
Since breaking through the barrier of perception, he has been almost invincible among the younger generation. Neither the Southern Demon nor the Central Emperor could withstand his power. His opponents could only suppress him by relying on a large gap in cultivation level.

Now, encountering Huo Qizi, an ancient prince, is truly a meeting of equals and a meeting of talents!
His fist intent changed again, unleashing the Equality Divine Fist. Instantly, a divine image appeared in the sky, meant to suppress all inequalities in the world and to turn the Blue Qilin into something ordinary.

Fire Kirin's expression changed as he sensed the power of the primordial spirit within the fist's intent. He roared angrily, and the strange Kirin phenomenon behind him howled, its rolling sound waves shattering the sky!
"Qiang!"

Clear ripples spread out, causing mountains to collapse and seas to boil, destroying everything in their path.

The Fire Qilin was too powerful; its blood energy overwhelmed the heavens and the earth. With a roar, the Qilin stomped through the sky, carrying the Great Dao in its battle.

"puff!"

The two finally clashed again, their physical bodies clashing, their Daos confronting each other, their innate abilities battling, their acquired abilities vying for supremacy, fighting fiercely from every angle, transforming into two balls of light, intertwined with Dao traces and the like.

"brush!"

The two figures separated, the divine map cracked, and the Qilin phenomenon dimmed. The desolate land was even more devastated, the battlefield had advanced another three hundred miles into the depths, the mountain ridges had broken, and one main peak after another had been razed to the ground, leaving nothing behind.

"boom!"

The two unleashed their true fury, their fists sweeping across the eight directions, shattering all things, and countless rays of light piercing through the nine heavens!

"puff!"

"puff!"

The two were sent flying backward, coughing up blood at the same time.

Both pairs of eyes shone brightly, their fighting spirit boiling over. One was surrounded by Buddhist light, while the other shone with blue radiance that surged against the sky. Clearly, they were growing stronger with each battle.

"Everyone calls him Little Celestial Venerable, but to me he looks like a bald monk," Huo Lin'er said, somewhat dazed.

Ning Qingyi ignored the rumors and gossip. Buddhist Fist? Taoist Fist? As long as it could be used by him, it would eventually become his Heavenly Venerable Fist.

"Fire Kirin, you are indeed strong! That's great!"

Ning Qingyi looked up to the sky and roared, finally unleashing a new variation of the Nanwu Fist.

In addition to the ordinary stances, once the body is unified, the Namo Fist has five earth-shattering free-fighting techniques that emerge.

All beings are equal! I am the only one worthy of respect! The Buddha's light shines everywhere! And...

"The cycle of life and death!"

From Ning Qingyi's fist, a golden wheel emerged, as if breaking through chaos and leaping out of nothingness, unleashing unparalleled power.

He pushed the wheel, and six great worlds surrounded him, slowly rotating, reincarnating in the world.

The royal blood within the Fire Kirin surged, and it roared as if a real blue kirin had been resurrected, charging forward.

"Open it for me!"

Who is he? The eldest son of the ancient Qilin Emperor, who will destroy the world with his fist!
The six heavens revolved endlessly, the black and white energies constantly shifting, layer upon layer, engulfing the Fire Kirin, thwarting his fists, and attempting to completely erase his traces from the world.

In the distance, Huo Lin'er's expression changed drastically. She no longer had the composure she had before. From Ning Qingyi's fist technique, she sensed a powerful threat.

"My brother has Father's blood in his veins and his cultivation is higher than his, yet he was defeated?"

She was deeply worried and prepared to act at any moment.

The Fire Kirin was trapped in the Six Great Worlds. Each world had a Dao principle that imprisoned his body and weakened his Dao traces. One layer after another, in an endless cycle, actually caused his energy to decline.

He knew that this was an absolutely terrifying and forbidden killing move.

"Qilin Opens the Heavens!"

He finally stopped underestimating Ning Qingyi and used his trump card. From the platform, a blue Qilin rushed out and let out a clear sound.

boom!
Suddenly, the sky cracked open, chaos filled the air, and streaks of blue immortal light tore through the void, transforming into a massive black hole.

One by one, the six heavens vanished, and the area between them turned into a black abyss, utterly destroyed, exploding inch by inch into a void, where dimensional space devoured everything.

Huo Lin'er breathed a sigh of relief, but she quickly frowned and looked into the distance.

Two figures drew closer and closer from the entrance, followed by many other ancient clans.

"kill!"

Upon seeing that the fist intent of the cycle of life and death had been broken, Ning Qing immediately attacked.

He understood that the Fire Kirin wouldn't give him another chance to prepare a killing move; the real battle was about to begin.

"boom!"

The two launched another attack, clashing fiercely. The sky over this place was completely shattered, turning it into a chaotic wasteland, isolated from the outside world.

Fists and palms collided repeatedly, and thousands of traces of the Great Dao appeared. The ancient emperor's might made people feel extremely oppressed, almost suffocating.

Both of their bodies were cracked open, golden blood dripping and blue blood burning, the intertwining of which was terrifying.

Unfortunately, his Dragon Transformation Realm and Bodhidharma Spine were not in his physical body, so even with the dragon-patterned black gold sword spine, he could not resonate with it to break through the divine barrier.

However, even without the divine restriction, he was still confident of victory.

"Thump...thump...thump thump!"

The sound of heartbeats echoed behind him; this was the single secret realm method he used to refine the Dragon Transformation Secret Realm, which changed nine times a day.

"Fire Kirin, witness this! My secret technique, my Dao, nine transformations in a single day—divine and Dao in perfect harmony!"

The Chaos God stood behind him, and in an instant, all the myriad paths of heaven and earth resonated with him. Ning Qingyi's aura was extraordinary.

"Seize the path!"

The Chaos God opened his eyes, formed a hand seal, and instantly all the myriad paths in the void resonated.

Huo Qizi's expression changed drastically. He realized that his connection with the outside world had been severed. Not only that, but all the myriad paths resonated with Ning Qing, pressing down to imprison him. "What if the world changes, what if the myriad paths shift? My body is immortal, my path is immortal!"

Fire Kirin finally took out his weapon, a halberd, forged from some divine material.

"boom!"

The sacred artifact crashed down, briefly cleaving the myriad seals, but the faster it broke, the faster the myriad seals moved.

Layer upon layer, the Chaos God resonated with the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth, as if merging with the Dao, to completely seal away the Fire Kirin.

"Qilin Slash!"

With a fierce determination, Huo Qizi combined his sacred artifact with deadly techniques and finally broke through the Chaos God's power to seize the Dao.

"boom!"

Ning Qingyi slammed down with a punch, his invincible golden body shattering the forbidden technique's edge.

"Fire Kirin, if this is all you have, you will lose."

Ning Qing stared at him, her eyes indifferent.

"You're really courting death!" Fire Kirin said in a chilling tone.

As soon as he finished speaking, his aura surged again, and endless divine power emanated from his body. It should be known that he was of ancient imperial bloodline, and breaking through the Eight Forbidden Realms was easy for him. His full power was no less than that of a Great Completion King.

The second level of Sendai is already a whole realm higher than Ning Qingyi, not to mention the third level of Sendai.

"Take this!"

Fire Kirin's feet shone with light, and the Kirin behind him transformed into a celestial map containing the sun, moon, stars, and the universe.

Wow!
As the scroll unfolded, it was as if a vast world had descended, briefly isolating him from the influence of the extraordinary phenomena and the unity of the divine and the Dao, and enveloping his figure.

As you can see, the two seem to be urging two celestial realms to battle, with one after another colliding and rotating, and one string of Dao principles clashing.

boom!
The two went berserk, their punches and kicks obliterating the world as they attacked each other.

"The Heavenly Map Suppresses All Paths!"

Fire Kirin shouted, and the Heavenly Map left his body, rushing towards the Chaos God, but instead of protecting him, it blocked and enveloped him.

Ning Qing immediately withdrew from the state of harmony of ten thousand paths, and Huo Qizi seized the opportunity to charge straight at him.

This opponent is terrifying; he employs all sorts of secret techniques and ingenious methods, with an unbelievable variety of tactics.

"puff!"

Golden blood splattered as Huo Qizi truly unleashed his full power, his cultivation level so terrifying that it actually injured Ning Qingyi's physical body.

"kill!"

Ning Qing roared, his aura overwhelming, and charged forward once more.

He was not afraid of physical damage at all. The invincible golden body technique meant that anything that could not kill him would only make him stronger.

boom!
The two clashed repeatedly, and the battle became increasingly intense.

Ning Qing was repeatedly knocked away and coughed up blood, but Huo Qizi had no chance to seriously injure him. Every time he was about to unleash a killing move, Ning Qing would unleash an array pattern under his foot, instantly disappearing into the distance, and then charge back up again.

This left Huo Qizi feeling frustrated.

He understood that this was definitely the legendary "group" secret, which was why there was a chance to form an array in the void and achieve a brief teleportation.

Moreover, he also discovered that Ning Qingyi's spiritual sense was extremely sharp, as if she could perceive his thoughts, which often led to his attacks being interrupted and his state being broken during their exchanges.

The more Huo Qizi fought, the more frustrated he became. Finally, he roared, "Heavenly Map Suppress!"

With a wave of his hand, the celestial map that had been wrestling with the Chaos God descended, transforming into a vast universe, which he held in his hand.

"Boom!"

The fire unicorn seemed to be dragging a universe along as it slammed towards Ning Qingyi.

This scene was terrifying, as if a giant who created the world was holding up the universe and smashing it down on a person!

Ning Qingyi showed no fear whatsoever, and a divine light flashed in her eyes.

As the Chaos God moved, the void around him crumbled inch by inch, merging with him amidst a swirling mass of chaotic energy. When the chaotic energy was blown away by the Fire Kirin's attack, Ning Qing was seen holding a strange flower in one hand, with countless patterns flickering around it, and a profound mystery of creation and creation appeared around him.

"Nine changes in a single day! Clearing away the pure and impure!"

Ning Qing waved the strange flower, and a beam of immortal light shot into the sky, breaking through the chaos, evolving the clear and the turbid, and creating the world!
Fire Kirin felt a chill in his heart as he sensed an unstoppable power being born from that flower.

boom!
The celestial light pierced directly through the vast universe in Huo Qizi's hand, causing the universe to collapse. Its momentum did not diminish, and it pierced through Huo Qizi's body, creating a large hole in his right chest.

"Wow!"

Fire Kirin was bleeding profusely; without a doubt, he had suffered a severe injury!
"elder brother!"

In the distance, Huo Lin'er finally couldn't sit still any longer and rushed over. She too was a descendant of an ancient emperor, a princess, and possessed unparalleled bravery!
With a single strike of the Qilin Seal, Ning Qingyi was forced to transform his pure and turbid energies into a giant millstone, using offense as a form of defense.

Huo Lin'er embraced Huo Qizi and instantly appeared on the other side.

"Little Celestial Venerable, what a skill!" Huo Lin'er said in a cold voice.

Ning Qingyi's mind raced, and the great millstone transformed into two distinct energies, one above and one below, with the wondrous flower held in his hand.

"Princess, rest assured, this is just a friendly spar. I will not kill Prince Fire Kirin."

"you!"

Huo Lin'er was furious and was about to speak when Huo Qizi stood up unexpectedly.

"You shouldn't have interfered."

Fire Kirin straightened up, his chest gleaming with divine light as he continued to heal, albeit very slowly. A force was hindering his healing, which alarmed him.

"Your Highness Huo Qizi, are you coming again?"

Ning Qing was eager to try his luck. He still had many tricks up his sleeve and really wanted to have a big battle with the Fire Kirin.

Just as Huo Qizi was about to nod, he noticed that the aura in the distance was becoming increasingly stronger.

"boom!"

A shockwave came from hundreds of miles away and completely obliterated a mountain peak.

"Southern Demon Qi Lin? And him... the Fighting Saint Ape who escaped from the Stone Archway back then?"

"The Fighting Holy Ape, and the imperial aura emanating from him... Could he be the Holy Prince!"

All three were somewhat taken aback, especially Ning Qingyi, who couldn't understand why the Southern Demon would fight with the Holy Prince.

The conflict between the two sides was fierce, and following behind them were young people from the ancient race and the human race.

However, as they drew closer, it became clear that both the Southern Demon and the Holy Prince were holding back, and eventually they stopped altogether.

"You went up against those siblings? How did it go? Did you suffer a loss?" Qi Lin asked.

"I won by a narrow margin." Ning Qingyi glanced at the lone Holy Prince and whispered, "What happened to you? Why were you fighting with him?"

"Since the ancient clans provoked me, I had no choice but to find someone to establish my authority. I must say, he truly lives up to his reputation as an ancient prince. I was actually unable to gain the upper hand." Nan Yao Qi Lin sighed.
