This young fire unicorn was extremely cute, with soft flames burning around its body. It raised its round eyes, looked at Ye Lingtian, and gave a sweet cry.
"Owner!"
Ye Lingtian smiled slightly and said calmly.
"Very good. Follow me and see how you perform; perhaps you will have a bright future!"
"Yes, Master!"
The fire unicorn looked delighted.
However, its aura was still incredibly terrifying. Even in its juvenile form, it retained 70-80% of its strength, comparable to a beginner-level Heavenly Emperor.
It followed behind Ye Lingtian, its tone respectful, yet unable to conceal its liveliness.
"Master, where are we going next? Will we encounter powerful opponents? Will we find delicious spiritual fruits?"
Ye Lingtian chuckled softly.
"Speak less, do more; your performance will determine your fate!"
The fire unicorn immediately shut its mouth, but its big eyes were still full of curiosity as it followed closely behind Ye Lingtian.
Heaven witnessed all of this and felt incredibly conflicted.
It had expected a spectacular showdown, but it turned into a one-sided crushing defeat for the Fire Qilin, which even ended up recognizing it as its master.
Seeing the once-powerful Heavenly Fire Demon Star now transformed into a palm-sized cub, jumping around Ye Lingtian and excitedly calling out "Master," Heavenly Dao was truly speechless.
It could only sigh inwardly.
"Sigh, this world... A once-powerful figure has become a talkative pet!"
Heaven could not help itself in the end and spoke softly.
"Senior, do you know... the details of this Fire Qilin?"
Ye Lingtian smiled calmly, glanced at the little fire unicorn hopping around, and spoke in a relaxed tone.
"Of course I know that it was once the Heavenly Fire Demon Star, which once unleashed endless slaughter and made countless powerful figures tremble with fear during the Chaos War. But in my eyes, it is just a little guy that needs to be trained!"
Upon hearing this, the Fire Qilin was taken aback, raised its head, and looked at the Heavenly Dao with some confusion.
"Master is right. I used to be powerful, but things are different now... But Master, you haven't given me a name yet?"
Ye Lingtian looked at it with a smile on his lips.
"From now on, your name will be Little Fire!"
"Small fire?"
The fire qilin pondered the name repeatedly, feeling that something was amiss, but seeing Ye Lingtian's indifferent gaze, it could only obediently accept it.
"Alright, Master, you can call me whatever you want. I'll be Little Fire from now on!"
Upon hearing this, Heaven was utterly speechless.
This was once a being that even the Heavenly Court feared, and now it has become like this.
It shook its head and said in a deep voice.
"Senior, now that you have subdued it, I dare to offer a word of caution: the Fire Qilin's strength should not be underestimated. Its potential is astonishing. If carefully nurtured, its future..."
Ye Lingtian interrupted the Heavenly Dao, speaking calmly.
"How far it can go depends on its fate. Alright, this is none of your business!"
The Heavenly Dao nodded silently, its figure slowly disappearing, leaving only a complex sigh.
Ye Lingtian turned to look at the Fire Qilin, his tone casual.
"Little Fire, what you were like before is no longer important to me. From now on, follow me, and if the opportunity arises, I will grant you great fortune!"
"Yes, Master!"
Xiao Huo responded respectfully, then his eyes darted around, revealing a somewhat innocent expression.
"Master, where are we going now? The spiritual energy here is too dry and boring!"
Ye Lingtian raised his hand and waved it, and a light screen unfolded in the void, showing the location of the source of chaos.
He said it casually.
"Naturally, we should continue searching for traces of extraterrestrial demons. Quiet down!"
Little Fire immediately fell silent, but its palm-sized body continued to circle around Ye Lingtian, its eyes full of curiosity as it stared at the light screen.
After a while, it seemed unable to hold back any longer and muttered to itself.
"Master, what is the Source of Chaos? It sounds delicious!"
Ye Lingtian glanced at it and said indifferently.
"You, a mere early-stage Heavenly Emperor, dare to dream of consuming the Source of Chaos?"
"Uh, I was just saying!"
Xiao Huo chuckled sheepishly, stuck out his tongue, and quickly corrected himself.
"Master is wise and mighty, Little Fire will certainly obey you!"
Ye Lingtian ignored it and stepped directly into the void, while Little Fire quickly followed.
And so, time flies.
A period of time has passed in the blink of an eye.
In a nameless, small star field, in a desolate expanse of space, a planet is trembling violently.
This planet was once the home of the Worry-Free Sect. Although it was only a third-rate sect, it was still quite famous in this remote star region.
However, at this moment, flames soared into the sky within the sect, and screams of agony filled the air.
Extraterrestrial demons have turned this place into a slaughterhouse.
"Quick! Run! Don't worry about me, take your junior brother and get out of here!"
A severely injured female cultivator used all her strength to push away her junior brother beside her.
"Senior sister, no, I can't leave you behind!"
The junior brother cried out, desperately clinging to the female cultivator's hand, but a black mist wrapped around his ankle, and he was about to be dragged into the abyss.
"Tsk tsk tsk, ants are just ants, actually thinking about saving people, what a joke!"
A bizarre-looking extraterrestrial demon floated in the air, its face full of mockery.
"You pieces of trash don't even deserve to live, understand?"
The demon laughed mockingly, and then it raised a tentacle.
"Since you're so eager to die, then I'll grant your wish!"
The tentacle swung down suddenly, about to tear the two of them to pieces.
"I see you have a lot of free time. Why don't you save these words for your own chanting?"
A detached voice came, as if it drilled directly into everyone's ears.
The tentacles of the extraterrestrial demon suddenly paused, and looking up, it saw a tall, slender figure already standing in mid-air.
He was dressed in a simple robe and carried no weapons, yet he exuded a suffocating aura of power.
It was Ye Lingtian.
"And where did you come from, you ignorant fool?"
The extraterrestrial demon was slightly taken aback, then let out a sneer.
"How dare a human..."
Ye Lingtian didn't answer, not even bothering to change his expression, he simply raised his hand and waved it casually.
A golden light flashed, and the voice of the extraterrestrial demon abruptly ceased.
Its tentacles, along with its entire body, instantly turned to ashes.
"Too much nonsense, so noisy!"
Ye Lingtian spoke in a nonchalant tone, as if he had just swatted a mosquito.
"Lord Emperor of Heaven!"
The junior brother finally realized what was happening and cried out in disbelief.
He had never met Ye Lingtian, but the Wuyou Sect's records already documented this legendary figure.
The man before me is undoubtedly the legend who has protected the entire planet Earth to this day.
Ye Lingtian didn't look at him, but turned to the devastated Wuyou Sect.
"How many people from your sect are still alive?"
The nun endured the excruciating pain and got up.
"Your Majesty the Heavenly Emperor... there are less than ten of us left who can still fight... please save us!"
