The Kirin cub was indeed powerful, its strength not any less than Ye Chen!

As Ye Chen pressed menacingly towards the Kirin cub, it suddenly sidestepped and viciously kicked back with its hind legs...

With a kick from its hind legs, the Kirin cub delivered a forceful and spectacular blow, catching Ye Chen completely off guard, who suffered a terrible misfortune!

One kick from the Kirin cub and Ye Chen was sent sprawling into the ground, his mouth filled with dirt, and his neck nearly broke.

"Kirin cub, you are a divine beast and yet you stoop so low, I..." Ye Chen climbed out of the mud pit, his face full of dismay, feeling as if his life had dimmed.

He was a once-in-an-era genius, who had once bested everyone on Earth.

He came to the Canglan Realm to reign supreme, yet before he could do so, he was brought down by an animal with a simple kick, a humiliation of colossal proportions!

As an otherworldly visitor, Ye Chen felt that he had let Earth down!

Ye Chen wanted to avenge his humiliation, but the Kirin cub had run away, giving him no chance for revenge.

"The Kirin cub actually escaped, how can it be so fast?!"

As the Kirin cub fled the battlefield, the cultivators there halted their fighting, for with the cub's escape, they no longer had a reason to continue their slaughter.

Yet, with the area teeming with powerful cultivators, how could the Kirin cub possibly escape?

"Divine beasts all have inherited memories, and the Kirin, as the king of divine beasts, must also have inherited memories. This cub's sudden escape could very well be the activation of an Innate Divine Ability!" someone suddenly posited this suspicion.

The reason why divine beasts are invincible lies in their inherited memories, which contain Innate Divine Abilities, life-saving Secret Techniques, and other unstoppable moves, unique to divine beast families!

As the king among divine beasts, the Kirin certainly has inherited memories, and its legacy must be extraordinary, surely consisting of life-saving means and Innate Divine Abilities.

The only explanation for the Kirin cub's escape from the encirclement had to be the activation of its bloodline and the unleashing of an Innate Divine Ability, otherwise, it could not possibly possess such speed.

"The Kirin cub is still quite weak. By stimulating its bloodline and unveiling its Innate Divine Ability like this, it could end up greatly damaging its vitality!" someone suddenly exclaimed in alarm.

The Kirin cub had always been rather clumsy, expertly hiding its tremendous strength, leading these cultivators to believe it was frail.

"..."

Hearing this speculation, Ye Chen almost wanted to knock his head on the ground in frustration; those from other worlds really were different, with such rich imaginations!

The Kirin cub indeed had terrifying combat power, and if it hadn't purposefully held back, the cult ivators in this place would have been swept away by it.

Yet, these cultivators, having narrowly escaped disaster, not only failed to feel fortunate, they instead entertained wild fantasies, suspecting that the Kirin cub was significantly weakened... Ye Chen could only shake his head at such thoughts.

"We fought madly over the Kirin cub, and we cannot allow someone to reap the benefits. Let's quickly pursue the Kirin cub!"

In the end, a group of mighty cultivators set off, chasing in the direction where the cub had fled, hoping to capture it while it was presumably weakened.

The chaos of the place dissipated as the living chased after the Kirin cub, while the dead left behind a scene of blood and bones.

This was the brutal reality of the Canglan Realm: survival of the fittest, where the strong live and the weak perish!

"It's true, you don't die if you don't seek trouble!" Ye Chen watched the scene, shaking his head and sighing.

That little one had terrifying combat power and moreover, a volatile temper. If these cultivators found it, they were very likely to be massacred.

"You little thing, daring to kick me like that, just you wait, I'll ride you for the rest of your life!" Ye Chen clenched his fists, swearing to himself that he would subdue the Kirin and make it his exclusive mount.

Ye Chen being kicked away by the Kirin cub didn't mean he was weaker than it, but rather because he hadn't anticipated that a dignified divine beast would actually use a hind kick...

"Boy, heavens were in chaos just now, and you're lucky not to have died!"

Just as Ye Chen was about to leave, he was stopped by a beautiful young girl, none other than Xingmou, a disciple of Longyue Sacred Ground.

"I am destined to be an Emperor of Heaven, destined to rule all under the heavens, how could I perish so easily?" Ye Chen said loftily, bragging to the girl.

"Enough with your boasting, let's get out of here!" Xingmou said.

"You're not pursuing the Kirin cub, what are you doing looking for me?" Ye Chen asked in surprise.

While the cultivators from before had all gone after the Kirin cub, the people from Longyue Sacred Ground had halted, not continuing the pursuit.

"Those chasing the Kirin cub are all Loose Cultivators, who lack insight and have failed to grasp the situation," Xingmou explained. "Do you see any disciple from the major sects making any rash moves?"

"With inherited memories, Kirin cubs can trigger their Innate Divine Abilities, and ordinary cultivators will find it difficult to capture them; even if we joined the chase, we wouldn't be able to capture the Kirin cub!"

Xingmou's group from Longyue Sacred Ground were well-informed, understanding that the Kirin possessed Innate Divine Abilities, and that pursuing it would likely be fruitless.

"So, what now? Are you going to give up?" Ye Chen asked.

"We've already sent word back to the Sacred Ground, calling for stronger disciples to come. Only then can we subdue the Kirin cub!" Xingmou said.

"Oh." Ye Chen nodded thoughtfully, then suddenly said, "Then go about your business. Why come to me?"

Those of Xingmou could recognize the situation, understanding that the kirin cub was hard to capture, and had already relayed the information to the Sacred Ground, sending even stronger disciples to subdue the kirin. This gave Ye Chen a sense of urgency.

He must tame the kirin quickly, or else when those powerful beings arrive, things would get very troublesome.

However, Xingmou blocked his path, which left Ye Chen quite frustrated. What was this Second Miss trying to do?

"The kirin cub has appeared here, countless cultivators are fighting over it. You're just a ten-dragon character — others could kill you with a flick of their finger. I wanted you to come with us to protect you!" Xingmou said.

It had to be said, she was a girl brimming with positive energy. Upon seeing Ye Chen powerless, she had the urge to protect him.

"Thank you, but I don't need your protection!" Ye Chen refused to befriend those who looked down on him.

"Kid, don't try to be tough. While your strength is low, I won't laugh at you," Xingmou said earnestly.

"..."

Ye Chen's face turned sour. Xingmou's tone was full of sincerity, without a hint of jest, but Ye Chen felt belittled, looked down upon by a little girl... Tsk!

"Kid..."

When Xingmou saw Ye Chen's displeased face, thinking he was too proud to accept her words, she tried to persuade him, only to be interrupted by him waving his hand.

"I've said countless times, I am called Heavenly Emperor, not a kid!" Ye Chen was trying to reclaim his dignity.

"Alright, I got it, kid," Xingmou said.

"My name is Heavenly Emperor!" Ye Chen corrected.

"Mm-hmm, kid," Xingmou nodded.

"..."

Ye Chen wanted to fight a hundred battles to prove his strength because the taste of being despised was too bitter.

"Xingmou, this person is fragile within, unable to admit his own weakness, and even less grateful to you. Let's not bother with him," a disciple from Longyue Sacred Ground came over, not wanting to entangle further with Ye Chen.

Ye Chen was just a minor character. They were all disciples of the Sacred Ground. The two simply weren't on the same level; an ant could never enter the dragon's lair.

"It's too dangerous here. If he goes on alone, he might be slain. We've met by chance; we can't just stand by and watch him die!" The Xingmou girl insisted on taking Ye Chen with them, not wishing him to encounter disaster.

Ye Chen could feel Xingmou's kindness, but he was truly wronged. Who told this girl he was weak?

"Kid, the Second Miss is being merciful. Hurry up and follow us. Don't waste our time!"

Given Xingmou's unique status, these people were willing to accommodate her, agreeing to let Ye Chen continue with them.

In the end, with a look of grievance, Ye Chen followed behind Xingmou. This girl was too endearing, making it hard for him to leave.

In fact, Ye Chen, though powerful and invincible, was a lone cultivator with no means to cast a wide net to quickly find the kirin cub.

Longyue Sacred Ground was the overlord of Tianlong Divine Continent. With many disciples under its name, following them, Ye Chen thought, was more effective than searching alone.

In the following days, Ye Chen followed the people of Longyue Sacred Ground in the border wasteland, searching for traces of the kirin cub.

However, the kirin cub was elusive, even if someone spotted it, it was just a glimpse. Its true whereabouts couldn't be determined.

Moreover, the news of the kirin's birth was confirmed, and the message spread throughout the ten states of Canglan, shocking some holy lands and great sects, with numerous cultivators flooding into the area.

The border wasteland, usually sparsely populated and dominated by savage beasts, became swarmed with people after the news of the kirin's birth; you could bump into several groups of people even when relieving yourself in the woods…

As more cultivators arrived in the border wasteland, the kirin cub finally revealed itself, seen by more than one group of people.

When cultivators saw the kirin cub, a slaughter ensued, but this time was different. Instead of the usual infighting between cultivators, the kirin cub unleashed its divine might, sweeping away all the cultivators it saw!

The kirin cub, possessing invincible combat strength, had always been quietly enduring. However, with the increasing number of cultivators in the vicinity, which eventually troubled it beyond endurance, it lashed out violently, slaughtering all the cultivators it saw.

This news shook the border wasteland. The kirin cub, invincible in combat, had always been feigning weakness. Just the thought of it was chilling.

Everyone thought the kirin cub was a docile lamb, only to realize that it had transformed into a ferocious dragon. This revelation left many of the weaker cultivators in fear, regretting wading into these troubled waters.

As the kirin cub went on a frenzied killing spree, any cultivator it encountered was slaughtered, regardless of if they were from a great holy land or sect, or an extraordinary race. If you crossed paths with the kirin cub, you could only suffer a bloody fate.

So, a treasure hunt turned into a bloodbath!

Though the kirin cub was far from mature, its ferocity unsettled the cultivators, plunging the wilderness into chaos.

But soon, the kirin cub faced calamity, for mighty figures had arrived and intercepted it.

Some witnessed this battle. The person who intercepted the kirin cub was a woman, peerlessly graceful as if a banished fairy from the celestial realms had descended, powerfully invincible, single-handedly forcing the fearful kirin cub to flee in a wretched state.
