Back in Maple City, the various demon kings gathered together for a drink.
"This was truly satisfying; the major sects lost their elite troops."
"Furthermore, Qin Taiming's prestige in their eyes has collapsed, and they all wish they could kill him!"
"It has to be you, Boss Song. You can't argue with that. Let's have a go."
Song Xia raised his glass, both amused and exasperated: "Why do you all call me Boss Song too?"
"I wish I could call you Boss Song. Without you, there would be no Sunset Forest today."
"Our demon race hasn't felt this good in so many years. In the past, we were always suppressed by the human race and couldn't breathe."
"They deserve to be so greedy. Those immortal realms are not so easy to obtain."
"It seems Qin Taiming won't give up. He'll definitely try again. What if he actually gets the inheritance?"
"It was bound to happen sooner or later. If it wasn't him, it would have been someone else. What we need to do is improve our strength. Sunset Forest is so big. I don't believe that one person can destroy us. The human race is not united."
"What I fear most is that they will find out about the existence of the little Qilin."
"We'll have to face it someday."
After the gathering, Song Xia went to visit the little Qilin in her space. The Qilin egg was becoming more and more radiant, and sometimes she could even see the little Qilin's limbs through the eggshell.
He's been very active lately, and Song Xia is constantly worried that he'll hatch. After all, he has no shortage of rare and precious materials, so it's normal for him to be born earlier than she remembers.
"You must protect us from now on." She tapped the eggshell, and the little guy jumped up and down excitedly.
"Okay, I have to go now. I'll come see you again next time."
However, Eggshell, who is usually very quiet, was very active this time and insisted on going out with her.
The moment he stepped out, he immediately attracted a lightning tribulation.
Song Xia exclaimed in astonishment: "Is it really going to be born?"
The birth of an ordinary demon beast causes no change in the world, but divine beasts are different. Divine beasts are born with the rules of heaven and earth and can dominate destiny. Their tribulations are naturally different from ordinary tribulations.
The strange movements in the world attracted the Demon King. Song Xia's expression hardened; he could not allow the little Qilin to be born here.
So, despite the oppressive aura, she carried the Qilin egg to the tomb, where the wills of the demon beasts before their deaths and the remaining consciousness of the Qilin master were kept, which would better protect the little Qilin.
Half of the various demon kings followed closely behind, while the other half guarded the four corners of Sunset Forest, preventing humans from setting foot inside.
"What kind of lightning tribulation is that?"
Is someone about to ascend to immortality?
"No, it's not an ascension tribulation. But if it isn't, then who could possibly cause such a commotion?"
"Could a divine beast have been born in Sunset Forest? How could that be? The last Qilin is already dead."
"Regardless, let's investigate first."
"What on earth are these monsters up to?"
All the major powers were alarmed, and the old monsters who had not left their mountain gates for a long time gleamed with greed in their eyes.
They had no time to lose. Whatever kind of tribulation it was, they had to figure it out and couldn't let go of any hope.
"Master." Qin Xiuyang looked at Qin Taiming. The poison in his body had not been completely removed, and Qin Taiming had been suppressing it for him.
"Master, go ahead, I can do it."
Qin Taiming nodded and left upon hearing this, while Qin Xiuyang clenched his fists. He hated himself for being poisoned at such a crucial moment. He felt that this tribulation was calling him, and he had a feeling that this was the last chance. But he had no way to leave the sect. His master would not take him, this burden, with him.
The lightning tribulation grew stronger, and Song Xia became increasingly horrified. She didn't recall ever seeing anything this intense! Could it be that she had been providing the little Qilin with too much nutrition over the years?
No matter what, a safe and healthy birth is the most important thing.
The demon kings retreated even further, leaving the entire area to the little Qilin.
"The humans have arrived."
A group of demons came to report that they wanted to force their way into Sunset Forest.
"Ha, the human race really doesn't keep its word. They agreed that no one could enter the inner perimeter of Sunset Forest without permission."
"In that case, let's go and meet them."
"Song Xia, you and Bai Xiao stay here. We'll be right back."
Song Xia nodded, her eyes never leaving the Qilin egg. She watched as bolts of lightning struck the Qilin egg one after another, growing increasingly nervous.
"Mother, it's alright."
Song Xia wasn't worried about anything else, except that Qin Xiuyang might suddenly come and form a contract with the little Qilin. However, the toxins in his body probably hadn't been cleared yet.
"That's twenty-nine questions."
"Rumor has it that the birth of a divine beast requires sixty-nine heavenly lightning strikes, it's coming soon."
Meanwhile, on the outskirts of Sunset Forest, the humans were also counting, and as the number of heavenly lightning bolts increased, the greed in their eyes grew stronger.
This could very well be the birth of a divine beast. If they have a divine beast to guide them, they might actually be able to ascend to immortality!
"Demon, hand over the divine beast."
“Divine beasts are not something you demons can defile.”
"If you don't hand it over voluntarily, don't blame us for being impolite."
The demon kings were so angry they laughed. How could these humans say such things with such confidence?
"If you want to fight, then fight. There's no need for these excuses."
"Sunset Forest will never be bullied by you humans."
"Old Bear, I can't take it anymore! Who's going to die first?"
The battle was almost imminent, with both sides immediately unleashing deadly attacks. After all, once the Qilin is truly born and develops its own consciousness, it will be difficult to make it recognize a master again. Now is the best opportunity.
By the time Qin Taiming arrived, the outer perimeter of Sunset Forest was already a river of blood. He didn't even glance at it and flew directly towards the inner perimeter.
"Qin Taiming, do you think I, the eagle, am blind?" The eagle king swooped down, blocking Qin Taiming's path.
The dragon immediately coiled around it, its pitch-black body moving like a ghost in the forest.
The cultivators also saw him and became even more anxious. They were already dissatisfied with Qin Taiming, and if Qin Taiming obtained the divine beast, wouldn't he take them even less seriously?
"Get out of my way." Qin Taiming's sword broke through all laws with a single strike, creating a chasm with just one stroke.
The queen ant manipulated the worker ants to surround him; there were hundreds of millions of these venomous ants.
However, the poisonous ants that used to strike fear into the hearts of other cultivators were quickly killed or wounded by Qin Taiming's sword, with more than half of them dying.
The wolf king howled to the sky, its body instantly swelling several times its original size. With a single stomp of its four limbs, it created four giant craters. Its fur was as hard as steel needles, even harder than the weapons of cultivators.
He, along with the Eagle King and the Flood Dragon, surrounded Qin Taiming. Although the cultivation levels of the three of them were not as high as Qin Taiming's, the innate advantages of the demon race prevented Qin Taiming from making any progress.
The human cultivators were shocked. How had these demons become so powerful? They were actually able to fight Qin Taiming!
This is Qin Taiming, the strongest fighter of their human race. If Qin Taiming is defeated today, will their human race still have a place to stand on the Qingyang Continent?
At this moment, everyone put aside their hatred and used their best skills to fight and kill the demons.
