129: Seventh-level Fire Kirin

In the Element World, the arrogant Abyss Army finally encountered a Seventh-Tier Magical Beast.

A Firebird was sweeping through a selected area with a team from the Abyss, but after a long time, it couldn't find a single Magical Beast.

This situation was not unfamiliar to it; this area must be the territory of a certain Magical Beast.

It ordered the army to disperse and search carefully for anything unusual.

A Fire Cat discovered a cave from which an extremely high temperature emanated.

The Firebird knew this should be the owner of this area, so it quickly gathered the army to guard the cave entrance, planning to trap and eliminate the enemy.

When the Abyss Army stepped into the cave, the cave's owner suddenly opened its crimson pupils, and the temperature of the entire cave instantly soared.

This was a creature resembling a Fire Kirin, which had been quietly sleeping in a fiery cave until disturbed by the Abyss Army.

This Fire Kirin bore a striking resemblance to the auspicious beasts of Eastern mythology.

It had a dragon's head like an Eastern Divine Dragon, with a pair of thick, long, pointed horns on its head, flame-like manes surrounding its fiery red scales, and strong, powerful limbs.

The only difference might be its back, which had a pair of huge wings surrounded by flames, covered with dense scales, and when it flapped its wings, it stirred up gusts of hot wind.

As the cave's temperature rapidly soared, the Firebird outside the cave sensed that something was wrong; the temperature was much higher than it had predicted.

Its fiery feathers bristled, and it urgently shrieked:

"Not good! It's a High-Tier Magical Beast! Retreat quickly!"

The cave vibrated violently, and rocks fell from the rock wall, followed by the Fire Kirin, which shot out like a train emerging from a tunnel.

Several Magical Beasts that had just entered the cave were directly pulverized upon impact.

The Fire Kirin, having burst out of the cave, showed no fear in the face of the Abyss Army, which numbered over ten thousand.

"Are you… here to deliver takeout?"

In its eyes, apart from that Firebird, which had some strength, the others were mere ants.

The Firebird's heart sank abruptly the moment the Fire Kirin appeared; the pressure emanating from this Magical Beast was too terrifying.

Before it could lead its army away from this area, the Fire Kirin had already soared into the sky.

Countless fiery clouds gathered around it, rapidly churning and forming various magnificent and bizarre phenomena.

"Burning Heaven Cloud Sea"

Under the terrified gaze of the Abyss Magical Beasts, the entire sky "collapsed."

The connected fiery clouds suddenly pressed down, as if the entire sky had fallen.

When the fiery clouds descended upon the army, they finally felt the terrifying temperature within them.

These clouds were actually condensed from a strange kind of flame.

Subsequently, the Abyss Army was instantly swallowed by a sea of fire.

Amidst the screams of the Magical Beasts, the weaker ones were directly vaporized, leaving no ashes behind.

The remaining Magical Beasts were also not well off; although they were all fire-attributed, their flames and the Fire Kirin's were clearly not on the same level.

The Fire Kirin did not strike again, merely continuously flapping its wings high in the sky.

Wind fueled the fire, and gusts of hot wind accelerated the burning and spreading speed of the flames, greatly increasing their power.

The Firebird spread its wings and fled into the air the moment the fiery clouds descended, and seeing the terrifying might of the Fire Kirin, it quickly called for reinforcements from the Abyss.

Upon receiving the news, Ye Chen dared not delay, quickly notified the major Magical Beasts to return to the Abyss, and then summoned the High-Tier Vassals within the Abyss.

Sharia, Gavin, Lei Ya, Berserker, and a dozen Sky Knights, along with over six thousand Great Demons.

Many Great Demons had undergone Evolution during this period, and their awakened abilities varied, so summoning them was also in hopes that they could contribute.

Soon, the Demon Dragon and its respective teams of Fourth-Tier and Fifth-Tier Magical Beasts returned to the Abyss through the teleportation gate.

As for Vassals below Fourth-Tier, it was useless for them to go, so they simply remained stationed where they were.

In recent days, three new Sixth-Tier Magical Beasts had been added: a Flame Orangutan, a Lava Giant, and a giant Flame Tree.

They were already Sixth-Tier before their deaths, especially the Lava Giant, which had reached Sixth-Tier Eight Stars.

However, even after being modified and strengthened by the Abyss, they still failed to break through to Seventh-Tier; it seemed Seventh-Tier was a threshold, difficult to cross through simple strengthening and advancement.

At Ye Chen's urging, they arrived at the Firebird's area through the teleportation gate.

As soon as the army stepped in, they felt a violent fiery aura, which even the Demon Dragon found somewhat difficult to bear, let alone the Great Demons.

Fortunately, the coordinates given by the Firebird were some distance from the sea of fire, avoiding the awkward scene of the army suffering heavy losses immediately upon entering the Otherworld.

The Demon Dragon was the first to open the curtain of war, a world-destroying Dragon Breath that pierced through the heavens and earth shot directly towards the Fire Kirin.

Lei Ya was not to be outdone, directly transforming into a dozen-meter-tall Dragonborn and shooting spheres of lightning at the Fire Kirin.

Gavin led a dozen Sky Knights directly towards the Fire Kirin in the sky, forming a simple formation to restrict its range of movement.

The Lava Giant pounded the ground with both hands, and hundreds of burning earth spikes broke out of the soil, shooting rapidly towards the Fire Kirin.

Other Vassals also dispersed, surrounding the Fire Kirin and then launching their attacks.

The Fire Kirin was not foolish; facing so many enemies, it naturally wouldn't stay put obediently.

It suddenly flapped its wings, intending to escape.

However, before it could act, an invisible spike shot into its mind, causing its body to suddenly freeze in place.

It was Sharia's Mental Impact.

But this move had a major drawback: it condensed one's own mental energy to invade the enemy's sea of consciousness to cause damage and control effects.

If the enemy's mental energy was stronger than the caster's, the mental energy within the sea of consciousness would automatically counterattack, and the caster would also suffer heavy damage.

Indeed, Sharia was now clutching her head in pain, blood continuously seeping from her eyes and nostrils.

Fortunately, her efforts were not in vain; although the Fire Kirin only paused for an instant, it was then submerged by countless attacks.

The Fire Kirin suddenly suffered a massive barrage of attacks, falling heavily onto the ground, raising a large cloud of dust.

"Roar—"

An angry roar erupted from the Fire Kirin's mouth, and several shallow wounds appeared on its body.

Seeing that a single round of attacks had wounded the Fire Kirin, the Demon Dragon's eyes suddenly lit up.

There's a chance, it can be fought!

It was only afraid that the attacks of the group would not be able to break through its defenses, which would make the battle difficult.

Unfortunately, it rejoiced too soon.

A golden flame shot out from within the Fire Kirin's body, repairing its wounds.

Although everyone continued to attack, all blows were firmly blocked by a layer of armor on the Fire Kirin's surface.

Just as it was about to spread its wings and return to the sky, it felt a sudden heaviness on its body, as if subjected to immense pressure.

Berserker fully maintained its Gravity Control, attempting to restrict the Fire Kirin's movements.

However, the disparity in strength made its gravity suppression yield minimal results.

At the same time, countless fiery vines emerged from underground, firmly entangling it.

It was the Flame Giant Tree; at this moment, it had inserted its擬化 (mimicked) arms into the earth, and countless vines grew from its arms, shooting directly from underground to beneath the Fire Kirin and firmly entangling it.
