Chapter 162: Emperor Realm, Giant Beast

Chapter 162: Emperor Realm, Giant Beast

Little Koi rolled her pitch-black, shiny eyes upward, thought for a good while, then looked at Qin Xuan and said very seriously, "Besides, I think the rumor that the Heaven-Swallowing Carp is blessed with Luck is just that—a rumor."

She lowered her head, gazing at her sisters in the jar, and said with pity, "I think they are very unlucky. If they really had such powerful Luck, they wouldn't have been targeted by the Ziyang Imperial Family to be refined into Luck pills."

"On the contrary, me," Little Koi muttered as if it were a serious matter. "Sometimes, I do feel like I'm a little lucky. Maybe I really do have some invisible, intangible Luck."

Little Koi was afraid, but she didn't lie. "If you refine me into a Luck pill, it might actually work and succeed."

Qin Xuan patted his own forehead and smiled bitterly. "No matter how lucky a Koi Physique is, it's useless when paired with your brain."

It was simply ridiculous.

He wasn't wary of the two Saint King Realm experts. Whether it was the treasure combination that could mobilize weak water or Leng Li hidden inside the ancient prison-suppressing tower, both were enough for him to escape safely or even counter-kill.

He fled intentionally just to create a dangerous environment.

Only in a dangerous situation would Little Koi subconsciously move closer to him, seeking a sense of security.

This was a human nature that no one could avoid.

But Qin Xuan realized he was wrong, dead wrong.

Dealing with Little Koi didn't require any calculation at all.

A few words were enough to trick Little Koi into wanting to be refined into a Luck pill.

It was so stupid it was almost cute.

Little Koi retorted seriously, "I'm not stupid at all! I know who treats me well and who doesn't. If it weren't for you today, my sisters would all be dead, and I wouldn't be alive either."

"Instead of all of us dying, who knows, maybe if you refine me into a Luck pill, you could consume it, gain the Luck, and escape safely."

She lowered her eyes, staring at the Heaven-Swallowing Carp swimming in the jar, and muttered to herself, "As long as they can survive, my return this time is worth it!"

Leng Li imitated the Demonic Path Sect she had wiped out and sneered, "Hehehe... what are you waiting for? Refine this Little Koi!"

Qin Xuan rolled his eyes dramatically. "Enough, stop scaring her!"

He patted Little Koi's head and comforted her, "Don't worry, you won't die, and you won't be refined into a Luck pill. We will definitely be able to leave the Land of Fallen Emperors alive."

He didn't know what was special about Little Koi.

But the golden quality recognized by the System could never be wrong.

Furthermore, she was a Daughter of Luck!?

Little Koi looked at Qin Xuan's deep eyes, moved. Being affectionately stroked on the head, her cheeks flushed, and she felt very shy.

She opened her mouth and said softly, "Qin Xuan, you are a good person. If I meet my Third Sister, I will definitely tell her how good you are. My Third Sister dotes on me very much; she will definitely be able to resolve the hatred between you."

"You have that much Face?"

Qin Xuan smiled lightly.

He naturally knew who the Third Sister Little Koi was talking about—the third of the Seven Pearls of Mingyue, the Saintess of the Butian Holy Land, Wu Bingqing.

But this woman was only at the Peak of the Quasi-Saint Realm.

Why did everyone think they could kill him?

The quasi-emperor artifact domain-suppressing cauldron?

Wu Bingqing had that thing, but so did he. The ancient prison-suppressing tower was no worse than the domain-suppressing cauldron; in fact, it was even stronger!

Even if he didn't overestimate Wu Bingqing, they were really looking down on him too much, right?

A Peak Quasi-Saint, trying to kill him?

While Qin Xuan was muttering, the vast world in front of the ancient prison-suppressing tower suddenly turned pitch black.

Qin Xuan took a closer look, and even he couldn't help but feel his scalp tingle as he exclaimed, "What the hell! What is this!?"

—

Outside the ancient prison-suppressing tower, the Old Eunuch and his party, who had chased from the immortal pond all the way to the Endless Sea, had to use all their might to block the ancient prison-suppressing tower as they watched it move faster and faster.

About an hour later, the Butian Holy Land, having received the news, finally arrived.

The moment the Old Eunuch saw the Sect Master of Soul Refining Sect, he asked, "Wu Bingqing didn't come?"

The Sect Master of Soul Refining Sect nodded. "Ran into some trouble and got separated from us. She didn't make it here. With the four of us at the Saint King Realm joining forces, are we really afraid of a Qin Xuan at the Heavenly Human Realm?"

"That's good."

The Old Eunuch nodded, relieved.

He wasn't afraid of Qin Xuan; he was terrified that the Butian Saintess, Wu Bingqing, would find out about their hunt for the Seven Pearls of Mingyue.

In that case, they wouldn't be able to join forces.

Whether they could escape from the Butian Holy Land alive would be a huge problem!

The cold expression of the Sect Master of Soul Refining Sect turned fierce when he saw the ancient prison-suppressing tower in the distance. The hatred in his eyes surged instantly. "Killing my beloved disciple, destroying my Sacred Artifact, causing hundreds of Prodigies of the Butian Holy Land to become blood food—this grudge cannot be repaid even with a quasi-emperor artifact!"

The Old Eunuch knew what the Sect Master of Soul Refining Sect was thinking and said in a deep voice, "His Highness, the Third Prince, has already taken a fancy to that tower."

The Sect Master of Soul Refining Sect didn't answer. "Attack together and refine it!"

The Old Eunuch shook his head. "It's useless. That tower has already recognized a master. Unless we destroy it and cause it to drop in rank, it cannot be refined."

"Then let's shake Qin Xuan inside to death first!"

The four Saint King Realm experts led by the Old Eunuch and the Sect Master of Soul Refining Sect, along with dozens of Saint Realm retainers and Elders, attacked all at once. The brilliant light filling the sky looked like meteors destroying the world as they tore through the firmament.

It struck the small tower with pinpoint accuracy.

As strong as the small tower was, it couldn't withstand this kind of blanket bombardment for long.

It wobbled and swayed, nearly falling into the Endless Sea several times.

But it was just "nearly." It happened countless times, yet they still failed to destroy the ancient prison-suppressing tower.

There wasn't even a crack on the tower itself.

It made the several Saint King Realm experts wonder if Qin Xuan inside was just playing with them.

"This small tower is of too high a quality, unimaginably high. Its construction Materials are unheard of. Even with our combined efforts, it's hard to shatter it."

"There's no need to hold back anymore. I have a Saint Talisman here. Once crushed, it's equivalent to a Holy Master making a move!"

The Sect Master of Soul Refining Sect took out a Saint Talisman, which had been bestowed by the Holy Master of Butian, feeling a pang of heartache.

He wouldn't have used it unless absolutely necessary.

This time, forced by Qin Xuan, he had no choice but to take it out.

The Old Eunuch took out a purple sword. "This is a weapon used by a Great Emperor in his youth, containing a wisp of Emperor aura."

The two looked at each other and nodded. Just as they were about to use their trump cards together, a dark shadow loomed from afar.

Everyone was confused.

Why did it suddenly get dark for no reason?

The Old Eunuch asked in confusion, "It is rumored that the Endless Sea is boundless. Even a Quasi-Emperor, exhausting all their strength, could never see the other shore. What is this black shadow?"

The Sect Master of Soul Refining Sect swallowed a mouthful of saliva in terror, pointing at the Nine Heavens, his arm trembling with fear. "That's not a shadow; it's a giant beast! Run! Run quickly!"

Everyone strained their eyes, finally piercing through layers of mist to see an eye of that shadow in the Nine Heavens.

A sapphire-blue eye, as vast as a giant mountain spanning ten thousand miles.

As huge as the golden crow or the bright moon.

How vast must its body be?

A hundred thousand miles? A million miles? Or several million miles?

Woo~

The shadow opened, and an ethereal wail emanated from its throat.

Only then did the Old Eunuch and the others realize that the shadow wasn't the other shore at all, but the closed mouth of this giant beast.

The wail hummed and resonated. Even those at the Saint King Realm felt as if they had been brushed by a light feather, feeling both lonely and desolate, yet extremely shocked.

Whoosh—

Immediately, a suction force erupted from the opened giant mouth.

A hurricane swirled, and everything was swept toward the giant mouth. The Endless Sea surged backward, raising giant waves spanning ten thousand miles.

"Run!"

The Old Eunuch and the Sect Master of Soul Refining Sect were terrified, cold sweat streaming down their foreheads.

Even the ancient prison-suppressing tower was trying to shake off this suction force and escape.

However, the resistance of the Saint King Realm experts was futile against this irresistible natural force.

The three parties lost all control, were battered by the natural force into the giant waves, and were sucked into the giant mouth as they drifted with the current.

At the same time, the Old Eunuch, the Sect Master of Soul Refining Sect, and Leng Li exclaimed in unison, "It's over! This is the power of nature!"

"We have encountered the real Kunpeng!!"
