Chapter 84: Chapter 1: Holy Emperor Stone
The Mysterious Demon Pearl hovered in midair as the Fire Kirin trembled uncontrollably, terrified out of its wits.
Swoosh.
Eventually, the Mysterious Demon Pearl flew back into Lin Feng’s body, disappearing into his Dantian and becoming very quiet.
“This…” Lin Feng’s expression darkened then lightened, harboring new concerns about the secrets held by the Mysterious Demon Pearl.
“Kid, owning that thing, your end might not be any better than mine,” the Fire Kirin said through clenched teeth.
“Bullshit, this treasure has acknowledged as its master,” Lin Feng snorted coldly and then glared fiercely toward the Fire Kirin, saying, “You’d better shut your stinking mouth, or else I won’t mind chopping you up and roasting you for at; I’ve heard Kirin at tastes very good.”
...
“Laozi is a Holy Beast, you dare to eat ? Not afraid of retribution?” the Fire Kirin roared angrily.
Lin Feng kicked the Fire Kirin away, sending it flying over ten ters.
“Ouch, damn it, bullying the weak, are you even a man?” the Fire Kirin cursed loudly.
Now, with its Divine Power sapped away by the Mysterious Demon Pearl, the Fire Kirin was at its weakest.
Anyone who saw the Fire Kirin now would probably not believe this was a Fire Kirin.
Before, the Fire Kirin stood a kiloter tall, two ters long, like a primordial fierce beast, emitting a suffocating pressure just by its presence.
Not like the Fire Kirin now.
A little over a ter long, if you didn’t look closely, you might think it was just an ordinary, unremarkable black wild animal.
“Whoosh”.
A sword light slashed through, striking the Fire Kirin.
The Fire Kirin was sent flying.
However, its body was nearly impervious to blades and spears, and Lin Feng’s sword strike couldn’t break through the Fire Kirin’s defenses.
Although the Fire Kirin’s strength had diminished, its defensive power was still as formidable as during its peak.
The Fire Kirin got up from the ground and spoke indignantly, “It’s like a dragon playing in shallow waters tornted by shrimp, a tiger fallen on flat lands bullied by dogs.”
Lin Feng grabbed the Fire Kirin, threw it harshly to the ground, and scolded, “What are you talking about?”
This made the Fire Kirin furious, but now, lacking any cultivation, it had no power to seek revenge and could only grind its teeth in resentnt.
Lin Feng carelessly threw the Fire Kirin into the woodland and then left the place. With such a commotion just now, who knows if it would attract others.
After going several dozen li, Lin Feng found a place to start a campfire.
Rustle, rustle, rustle…
Soft sounds ca from the woods, and Lin Feng tensed, thinking a fierce beast might be slowly approaching.
In the darkness, Lin Feng’s eyes were sharp and ready, prepared at all tis, ready to strike a killing blow should a fierce beast appear.
In the Wilderness Jungle, only the cautious could survive.
Swoosh.
A dark figure darted forth.
It was actually that guy, the Fire Kirin.
“Why did you follow ?” Lin Feng rolled his eyes.
Through gritted teeth, the Fire Kirin said, “That demon pearl devoured my Divine Power, I must find a way to get it back, so naturally I have to follow you.”
“If you dare to have any ulterior motives again, I can’t guarantee that this treasure won’t completely drain you. By then, forget about Divine Power, even your life won’t be spared,” Lin Feng said with a curl of his lip.
The Fire Kirin shrank its neck, evidently frightened by Lin Feng’s words.
However, it tried to appear calm and said, “Kid, do you think Uncle Qilin can be scared so easily?”
But clearly, the Fire Kirin was lacking in confidence.
Lin Feng looked at the Fire Kirin and asked, “Where do you co from?”
The Fire Kirin replied, “From the Central Sacred Heavenly State.”
“Central Sacred Heavenly State? The legendary center of the Heavenly Martial Continent,” Lin Feng exclaid in surprise.
It was rumored that in the Central Sacred Heavenly State, there were true Divine Spirits and many temples that worshipped those ancient deities.
The Central Sacred Heavenly State was not sothing that could be compared to East County Divine Land.
“Hehe, the kid does have so knowledge,” laughed the Fire Kirin with amusent.
“You, a revered Divine Beast, how did you end up in that ghastly state before?” Lin Feng inquired.
“It’s all because of this damned thing,” said the Fire Kirin as it spat out a stone.
It was a palm-sized green stone with a dark brown sheen on it, like bloodstains, and upon seeing the mysterious stone, Lin Feng’s eyelids began twitching violently. He felt his heartbeat accelerate suddenly. That stone seed to possess a strange power that could affect the people around it.
“What kind of stone is this?” Lin Feng asked.
“This is the Outer Heaven Divine Stone, which fell from beyond the heavens, tainted with the blood of the Ancient Saint Emperor. In the Central Sacred Heavenly State, there was a bloody storm over this Holy Emperor Stone, with countless peerless powerhouses perishing. However, in the end, I obtained it, and I fled all the way from the Central Sacred Heavenly State to this godforsaken place in East County Divine Land. Who would have thought, at this ti, that this stone would undergo an extrely strange occurrence? Inside my body, it actually tried to control . I’ve been fighting with it, and I’ve nearly beco enslaved by this Holy Emperor Stone several tis,” the Fire Kirin recounted with a lingering fear.
“This stone is so peculiar?” Lin Feng asked, astonished.
“A stone tainted with the blood of the Ancient Saint Emperor is naturally extrely peculiar, hiding a trendous secret,” the Fire Kirin said.
Lin Feng proposed, “You want to follow , right? Give this Holy Emperor Stone, and I’ll let you follow.”
“Take it if you want it,” the Fire Kirin tossed the Holy Emperor Stone to Lin Feng, seemingly relieved as if it had thrown off a heavy burden, breathing out a sigh.
Lin Feng caught the Holy Emperor Stone, holding it in his hand. Although it was only palm-sized, it was extrely heavy. Lin Feng found it difficult to hold.
“This stone is so heavy?” Lin Feng said, surprised.
“This is an Outer Space teorite, naturally it’s heavy,” the Fire Kirin said, pursing its lips.
Lin Feng observed the Holy Emperor Stone closely, but as his gaze touched the bloodstain on the stone, he felt as if his own blood was about to boil. His body temperature rose rapidly, and his head began to feel muddled. Lin Feng sensed sothing was wrong, but found himself unable to control his thoughts.
The Fire Kirin extended its paw and pressed down on the Holy Emperor Stone.
Only then did Lin Feng recover.
“What just happened?” Lin Feng said, still in shock.
“This Holy Emperor Stone is very strange, and very dangerous. You should not look at it, and try not to touch it if possible. This peculiar Holy Emperor Stone… who knows what secrets it hides,” the Fire Kirin explained.
Thinking of the changes in his body just monts before and having nearly lost himself, Lin Feng felt a wave of apprehension. Indeed, as the Fire Kirin said, the Holy Emperor Stone was far too peculiar and was not sothing Lin Feng could handle or explore at his current stage.
Lin Feng stashed the Holy Emperor Stone inside the Spirit Ring, resolving to explore the secrets of the Holy Emperor Stone when his strength had increased in the future.
