Chapter 533: Chapter 421: Harvest!

Gone?

The Qilin slightly revealed a look of surprise, which then turned into a fierce killing intent.

"All you small fries can’t hide from me, for I am very experienced in dealing with such matters—"

"Watch me burn you to death!"

Infinite Fiery Flames suddenly burst forth from the Qilin’s body, shooting in all directions like a torrential downpour.

Under this dense, wide-ranging attack, no one could escape!

The city walls had already turned into a towering wall of flames.

Wu Xiaode casually swung his sword to block, at the same time swiftly retreating.

Logically, this block and retreat should have immediately alerted the Qilin—

But then several lines of ice crystal letters jumped out:

"Silent Demon Mist has acquired a special ability: ’Lonely Shadow’."

"When you are in the Demon Mist, no power can restrict your movements. Even if someone hits you, they can’t get any feedback, let alone detect your presence."

Wu Xiaode kept retreating, while looking up into the sky.

He saw the Qilin standing in midair, its face showing a puzzled look, murmuring in a low voice:

"That shouldn’t be, could he have already run away?"

—It hadn’t sensed him!

This was indeed good news, but the ferocity of the Qilin Fire was beyond Wu Xiaode’s imagination.

His sword kept slicing through the rain of fire, but at one moment, he realized his hair had begun to burn.

"Tsk."

Suddenly, Wu Xiaode was enveloped by dark flames.

—The Dark Demon King has arrived!

After the arrival, the rain of fire could no longer harm Wu Xiaode.

At this moment, although the Qilin couldn’t see, it had a certain premonition.

"The rain of fire can’t find him... Could it be that he also knows how to use fire?"

A serious look flashed through the Qilin’s eyes, as it slowly raised both hands and pressed them into the Void.

In a flash.

Rows of ice crystal letters flashed through the Void:

"For exciting battles, use Bone phone 2 max."

"Attention!"

"The opponent is beginning to unleash Fire Tao Power·All Worlds Realms Fire Transformation."

"The power of the flames is about to surge!"

Tao Power!

Wu Xiaode immediately pulled back at breakneck speed, darting away nearly a thousand meters and barely escaping the rain of fire’s reach before stopping.

He looked back and saw the sky and earth seemed to be thoroughly soaked in red.

The endless rain of fire grew more intense.

Everything on the ground, once touched by a drop or two of the rain of fire, immediately turned to ashes.

He didn’t know whether his own Dark Tao Power was stronger than the opponent’s Fire Tao Power.

Wu Xiaode felt it out for a few moments, then shook his head.

—This was High-level Fire Tao Power.

The Qilin had leveled up its Tao Power much higher than he had!

Another row of ice crystal letters emerged:

"This fire can eradicate all living beings, and it can turn all things to ash."

That was close!

A few splashes of Qilin Fire nearly hit him!

Wu Xiaode observed the Qilin from a distance.

Its presence was not inferior to any other powerful being.

The might of the Qilin Fire could also be considered quite terrifying.

—Even though it was so strong, why didn’t it stand up to fight against the calamity?

Understood.

It had no interest in something like saving all beings.

Just looking at its city, it was clear that it fed on the beings.

Perhaps this Qilin had been waiting in the shadows—

Waiting for the calamity and the powerful Heroic Spirits to leave this world, then it would be its realm.

—Truly despicable.

Powerful, yet cowardly, and even malevolent.

Wu Xiaode straightened his attitude and said in a low voice:

"Still quite strong, worth a fight."

Just as he was about to draw out the Butterfly Soul blade, he suddenly remembered something. His gaze immediately shifted from the Qilin and fell on the Stone Temple outside the city.

—He was destroying the city when the Qilin was in this temple.

It was because it noticed his actions that it came out of the temple to fight him.

He saw that the temple, though struck by the sky-wide Qilin Fire rain, was not damaged in the slightest.

There clearly was a problem.

Wu Xiaode drew out the Butterfly Soul blade and handed it to a bronze hand that appeared beside him.

"Here, take it, pass it down, and slash it every once in a while," he said.

The bronze hand engulfed in mist caught the Butterfly Soul blade and gestured with it in midair.

Wu Xiaode turned and left.

He exerted his full strength, rushing back into the rain of fire and cutting a path with his sword.

Numerous bronze hands were wrapped in dark glows.

—Dark Tao Power!

Only the Arrival + Dark Tao Power kept him temporarily unscathed.

In an instant.

He charged into the Stone Temple.

Inside, the temple was quite spacious, with dragons coiling around each pillar in the main hall. The dragons spewed black mist continuously towards the altar, spraying it nonstop.

A statuesque female Divine stood on the altar, radiating bursts of light that resisted the black mist from the dragons.

Wu Xiaode suddenly had an epiphany.

It all made sense now!

There must be something inside this statue!

The Qilin was trying to extract something from within the sculpture when it encountered the annihilation of its city, forcing it to come out and confront him.

Wu Xiaode turned his head to glance outside the temple.

The bronze hand immediately sensed his will, raised the Butterfly Soul knife high, and slashed fiercely at the Qilin in midair.

A line of ice crystal characters immediately popped up:

"The Butterfly Soul knife’s ’Blood City’ and ’Blizzard’ have taken effect."

Blood City broke the defense, while Blizzard hit the target from afar based on the soul power value.

An additional blessing from the Death God replenished the soul power.

The blow struck the Qilin directly!

Its figure trembled in the air as a wound suddenly appeared on its chest, with blood gushing out.

This provoked the fierce nature of the Qilin.

"Hahaha, I thought you had run away, but since you haven’t, prepare to die," it growled.

Miles away—

As soon as the slash was made, the bronze hand hurriedly threw the Butterfly Soul knife in another direction.

Another bronze hand caught the knife and, amidst the Demon Mist, darted about, moving behind the Qilin to an even further position and chopped with the knife!

Along with the roar of the Qilin, the Butterfly Soul knife switched positions again.

A line of ice crystal characters followed:

"Death Intense Flame Warrior (Basic) did not take effect!"

"The opponent’s Fire Tao Power level is too high, negating the transport to the Death World this time."

Wu Xiaode withdrew his gaze, temporarily unconcerned about the Qilin’s affair.

If it had come to a stalemate, then let it be a stalemate.

—He would focus on exploring the Stone Temple before worrying about the battle.

He turned his attention to the statue inside the temple.

—What was inside this sculpture?

Wu Xiaode reached out with his senses and immediately felt an extremely familiar sensation from the sculpture.

Could it be—?

With a thought, the Book of the Dead opened instantly, activating "Regain the Power of the Authority."

Now, Wu Xiaode’s senses were even clearer.

"So that’s it... the pages are hidden within this sculpture..."

"But besides the pages, there’s an extremely unfamiliar power fluctuation. I have no idea what it is."

He didn’t care about the Dragon, lightly reaching out towards the sculpture.

An identical wave of energy emanated from his hand.

—This was the fluctuation of the aura from a Book of the Dead with the Dark Seal!

Since Wu Xiaode’s awakening, he had already collected quite a few pages of the Dark Seal’s Book of the Dead and was naturally able to emit the same attribute of power fluctuation.

An insight suddenly dawned upon him.

The power inside the sculpture, feeling his presence, had already begun to call out to him.

Wu Xiaode strode up to the sculpture.

A black page flew out from the sculpture at once.

Unlike the pages of the Dark Seal’s Book of the Dead that Wu Xiaode had seen before, this black page seemed to have something shining with rainbow lights affixed to it.

"Success!"

The Dragons perched on each pillar in the temple roared in unison.

In the blink of an eye, Wu Xiaode snatched the black page and pressed it onto the Book of the Dead.

"Swallow."

As he spoke, he turned his head in surprise towards the Dragons.

—It was my success, what does it have to do with you?

The Dragons could not see him but saw the black page gradually disappear into the Void.

"Not good, the Emperor must come back, someone is stealing things!" they shouted loudly.

The Book of the Dead vibrated, taking the black page into itself, and then closed tightly.

Ice crystal characters frantically refreshed in the void:

"You have found the lost page."

"The page integrated into the Book of the Dead, increasing your Eternal Soul Power to 450 points."

"Congratulations."

"You have completed the commission: Lost Page."

"The Heroic Spirits have bestowed upon you a reward:"

"Increase of soul power by 20 points."

"Your current soul power value is: 470/470, of which Eternal Soul Power is 450 points."

"You can now undergo the orthodox Death God Trial."

"Additionally, there seems to be something quite unusual within your page, please inspect it yourself."

The roar of the Qilin came from outside the temple.

It was rushing over at high speed.

Wu Xiaode quickly formed a humanoid object with the bronze hand and made it burst through the stone temple, flying towards the sky.

"Thief, where do you think you’re going!" the Qilin pursued.

Wu Xiaode also released the Fallen Angel Ulysses and the Giant Astalot, directing one to flee through the main entrance and the other to wreak havoc in the temple.

The Stone Temple descended into chaos.

The roaring of the Dragons intertwined with the bellowing of the Giant.

Whistling sounds echoed through the sky.

That was the Qilin realizing it had been duped, turning to chase after Ulysses.

With nothing else requiring his attention, Wu Xiaode, with his hands behind his back, leisurely walked out of the Stone Temple and casually asked the Book of the Dead floating beside him,

"Hey, what kind of private goods did you smuggle in with that page?"

The Book of the Dead shuddered as if it were still digesting the power absorbed from devouring the page and did not immediately open up.
