Hiss.
As the Qilin charged forward, it reared its head and let out a long cry. The massive sound seemed to pierce metal and split stone, shaking the nine heavens.
“So strong.”
Everyone was taken aback.
This Qilin was clearly just a cub, yet the aura emanating from its body and the roar it unleashed were filled with endless majesty.
Its entire form shimmered with light, as if forged from pure red gold. Flames spewed from its mouth, as if to incinerate the heavens.
Ye Qiu was somewhat surprised to see the Qilin’s prowess.
When he had first encountered this Qilin, it had not possessed such a powerful presence. He had not expected that after consuming the million-year divine medicine, the Qilin’s strength would surge so dramatically.
“It seems it will not be long before it breaks through to the Nascent Soul realm.”
“I truly want to see its power once it reaches adulthood.”
At the same time, Xuanwu also let out a roar, making the ten directions tremble.
Roar.
Xuanwu’s body brimmed with a violent aura. Its shell resembled a piece of divine jade, possessing a metallic chill and immense thickness.
It was like a cyan flood, roaring as its body streaked through the void like a meteor, smashing fiercely towards the Thousand Li Scarlet.
The Qilin cub, unwilling to show weakness, also lunged forward with sky-high battle intent.
In an instant, the Thousand Li Scarlet faced a pincer attack from two divine beasts.
At that moment, another roar rang out.
“What, another divine beast?”
Amid the crowd’s astonishment, a white shadow shot out from beside Yun Xi, treading the sky with radiant divine light.
“Unicorn.”
Boom.
The unicorn also rammed towards the Thousand Li Scarlet, joining the fray.
Ye Qiu laughed. “An Ruoxi, your demon beast is besieged by three divine beasts. It is doomed to die.”
An Ruoxi’s face darkened.
He had thought that with a half-step Nascent Soul demon beast at his side, he could certainly kill Ye Qiu. He had never imagined that Ye Qiu’s side would suddenly produce three divine beasts.
Now, with the Thousand Li Scarlet locked in battle with the three divine beasts, it could no longer free itself to help him kill Ye Qiu.
In that case, to kill Ye Qiu, he could only rely on his own strength.
“Ye Changsheng, do not get cocky. I still have trump cards.”
With that, An Ruoxi urged all his power and bellowed, “Cavern Heaven, emerge.”
Rumble.
Nine great cavern heavens appeared behind him, releasing endless divine might and making him look like a demon god.
“Nine great cavern heavens are not enough,” Ye Qiu said with a smile.
“Is that so?” An Ruoxi roared, “Again.”
Boom.
In the midst of the nine great cavern heavens, another one appeared. However, this cavern heaven looked very blurry, clearly just in embryonic form.
Even so, it still elicited a wave of exclamations.
“Ten great cavern heavens. An Ruoxi has stepped into the extreme realm of cavern heaven.”
“No, the tenth cavern heaven is merely embryonic. It has not truly taken form, but it does not hinder him from absorbing heaven and earth spiritual energy.”
“At such a young age, to step into the extreme realm of cavern heaven. Truly impressive.”
The crowd could clearly feel that after the tenth cavern heaven appeared, An Ruoxi’s aura grew even stronger.
Thud.
An Ruoxi took a step forward, shaking the earth and mountains. The cavern heavens behind him madly absorbed heaven and earth spiritual energy. In just an instant, An Ruoxi’s combat power more than tripled. His entire being resembled an iron wall, giving off an indomitable sense of power.
“Ye Changsheng, though I do not know what secret technique you used to surpass my speed in the short term, with my ten great cavern heavens, I can still contend with you.”
An Ruoxi said this with utter arrogance.
And rightly so. At his age, to cultivate ten great cavern heavens, even if the tenth was merely embryonic, qualified him to look down on his peers.
Ye Qiu scoffed. “Your tenth cavern heaven is just embryonic. What is there to boast about.”
An Ruoxi sneered coldly. “Big talk. If you have the ability, summon your ten great cavern heavens and let us see.”
In his view, Ye Qiu had only recently broken through to the peak of cavern heaven. It was impossible for him to have cultivated ten great cavern heavens.
Moreover, whether in killing Pei Gang or slaying Tuoba Xiong and Cao Mao, Ye Qiu had never displayed his cavern heavens.
Who would have thought Ye Qiu would agree outright.
“As you wish. Open your dog eyes wide and look properly.”
As Ye Qiu’s words fell, brilliant golden light erupted from his body. Thousands of rosy clouds and intense divine radiance spread from him.
Boom.
Behind Ye Qiu, a massive cavern heaven slowly emerged. Unlike others, his was resplendent in golden light, like a blazing sun.
Once this cavern heaven appeared, it began absorbing the surrounding heaven and earth spiritual energy.
“Hmm, he really opened a cavern heaven.”
An Ruoxi was stunned.
Immediately after, surging blood energy rushed from Ye Qiu’s body, like a true dragon awakening.
In this moment, Ye Qiu appeared even more sacred and inviolable.
Boom.
Another massive boom, and a second golden cavern heaven appeared behind Ye Qiu.
Boom.
The third cavern heaven emerged.
Boom.
The fourth cavern heaven appeared.
Boom boom boom.
With a series of massive booms, soon eight cavern heavens had appeared behind Ye Qiu.
An Ruoxi’s expression changed.
Boom.
Another massive boom, and the ninth cavern heaven appeared.
The nine great cavern heavens were densely covered in golden light, madly absorbing heaven and earth spiritual energy, which in turn fed back to Ye Qiu, making his aura increasingly terrifying.
“Could he really have opened a tenth cavern heaven.”
“Impossible. Absolutely impossible.”
“It took me many years to step into the extreme realm of cavern heaven and form the embryonic tenth. He cannot surpass me.”
An Ruoxi clenched his fists, his heart in his throat from tension. His eyes stared fixedly at Ye Qiu.
“Extreme realm of cavern heaven, open.”
Ye Qiu roared to the heavens, his eyes shining with a light that overlooked the world, oppressively intense.
At once, a strand of golden energy shot from the crown of his head like a divine pillar. Gradually, a cavern heaven formed above Ye Qiu’s head.
However, this cavern heaven was also blurry, appearing and disappearing.
Clearly, it too was embryonic.
Even so, it still shocked the crowd.
“Ten great cavern heavens. Ye Changsheng has cultivated ten great cavern heavens.”
“To think Ye Changsheng has also stepped onto the threshold of the extreme realm of cavern heaven.”
“How long has it been since he broke through to the peak of cavern heaven, and now he has reached the threshold of the extreme realm. What a genius.”
“Such cultivation talent can only be described in four words: astonishingly brilliant.”
“I dare say, if Ye Changsheng does not die today, his name will surely resound throughout the entire cultivation world.”
“…”
Wei Wuji was also stunned. “Such a genius cannot be used by me. What a pity.”
An Ruoxi stared at Ye Qiu, his eyes filled with disbelief.
“How is this kid so formidable.”
“Fortunately, like me, his tenth cavern heaven is merely embryonic. Otherwise, I would be in danger today…”
An Ruoxi had just thought this when a deafening rumble echoed. The tenth cavern heaven above Ye Qiu’s head suddenly erupted with endless divine light, instantly taking full form.
