The proactive masochism of the young kirin left Ye Chen stunned. The kick he just delivered was with great force and power—it would hurt anyone on the receiving end. Could it be that the kirin has such thick skin that it doesn't feel pain?
"..."
Ye Chen stood there dumbfounded, and so were Wan Shixiong, Hua Chang Saintess, Zi Feng, and the others!
The kirin's initiative to get close to Ye Chen was a sign of selecting a master, which made the crowd green with envy, jealousy, and hatred.
However, Ye Chen showed no clue about how to treat small animals kindheartedly; he kicked the young kirin away, which was an act that could stop a heartbeat.
Yet, an even more outrageous thing happened—the young kirin that Ye Chen kicked away ran back to him, prancing!
The little kirin snuggled against Ye Chen's trouser leg as if the kick just now had not been against it... This insane scene petrified all nine young supreme beings!
Never mind Wan Shixiong and the others, even the spectators outside the ring were dumbstruck, so shocked they even forgot to applaud and cheer.
What's this situation? Does the little kirin actually like violence?
Ye Chen, a man without limits, didn't care about the audience's stupefaction but instead played with the young kirin again.
"You're a kirin, not a dog; why keep rubbing against my legs?" Ye Chen seemed a bit impatient, using his foot to push the little kirin aside as if he disliked its closeness.
Ye Chen's playful behavior once again shocked everyone present, and the kirin did not disappoint. After being kicked away by Ye Chen's foot, it returned to his side to nuzzle his trouser leg in a show of appeasement.
The well-behaved and adorable little kirin left the audience flabbergasted.
Although the young kirin wasn't very large, about the size of an adult wolf dog, it harbored an enormous fury within its small body!
The little kirin, with a combat strength on par with the young supreme beings, had slaughtered group after group of cultivators and taken countless lives. Such a ferocious, brutal, and wicked kirin cub had now become as docile as a kitten, addicted to rubbing against trouser legs!
"Why are you acting like a dog? Can't you stop rubbing up against my legs!" Ye Chen's temper wasn't the best, and faced with the little kirin's harassment, he kicked it away with a swift boot.
This kick wasn't the soft kind but a direct, violent thrust, sending the little kirin flying like a ball. Moreover, the distance it flew was so vast that even a football star couldn't achieve it.
Kirins are auspicious creatures; not only Ye Chen, but even Saints would desire to obtain one because capturing a kirin means being bestowed with the Hongmeng Purple Qi and having a divine beast to protect one's path!
But there were too many cultivators present; acquiring a kirin in such a setting would not be a blessing but could turn into a bloodbath.
Ye Chen didn't want to stand out in the forest, becoming a prominent figure only brought great calamities. He came from Earth and had a sensitive identity; Ye Chen only wished to act low-key.
So Ye Chen, cold and heartless, kicked the young kirin away. In fact, Ye Chen wanted the little kirin to run away fast; he would stay behind as the rearguard...
"Violent madman!" Xingmou couldn't bear to watch.
Ye Chen was so cruel and fierce, bullying a small animal like that; it was just too heartless of him!
However, Xingmou's expression quickly changed because the little kirin pranced back again...
The spectators' expressions were not looking good—had the young kirin been kicked senseless? Why did it keep coming back for abuse?!
But what the audience least expected happened again: before the little kirin could get close to Ye Chen, he charged over with big strides and once again sent the kirin flying with a swift kick.
This time with even more force, the little kirin was sent flying further, and some people were even scared to tears—how could he be like this!
"Boom!"
At that moment, the heavens and the earth thundered, the wind and clouds changed color, and infinite Hongmeng Purple Qi descended from the nine heavens, draping over Ye Chen.
"What is this!"
Ye Chen's body stiffened in disbelief as the kirin recognized him as its master, instantly bestowing him with Hongmeng Purple Qi and a surge in aura.
The young kirin blinked its eyes; it wasn't the masochistic type. Ye Chen had been gentle with it. Every kick that seemed to send it flying was actually enveloped in a force that carried it through the air.
Facing certain death, the kirin sensed Ye Chen's kindness and his immense, unbeatable potential, so the young kirin decisively pledged its faith to Ye Chen as its master!
Seeing the kirin as docile as a cat and the man surrounded by Hongmeng Purple Qi, all the cultivators present were dumbstruck.
Kirins roaming the Tianlong Divine Continent could cause great upheaval, attracting countless mighty figures. Wan Shixiong, Hua Chang, Zi Feng... These young supreme beings all gathered here, intent on subduing the kirin.
Yet a Heavenly Emperor, as if from nowhere, emerged and tamed the ferocious little kirin, leaving all the cultivators in the wasteland in awe.
Although the wasteland cultivators were shocked, some couldn't tolerate it, for the little kirin was blind to not have chosen a decent master.
Wan Shixiong is an embodiment of divine demon might, Hua Chang Saintess a paragon of peerless beauty, Zi Feng a revered figure beyond mortal dust... Each of the nine supreme beings was wise and awe-inspiring, eliciting the screams of countless young women, but what was the deal with this Heavenly Emperor?
The origins of the Heavenly Emperor were mysterious; he was very powerful and very handsome, but he was too much of a jokester!
The little kirin was kicked by the Heavenly Emperor and tumbled eighteen times upon landing...
In front of cultivators from the ten lands, the little kirin endured such torment. Instead of seeking revenge and attacking the Heavenly Emperor, it submitted and lowered its will to serve him.
The nine supreme beings felt that they had been too gentle; they had suppressed the kirin with an imposing aura but had always been careful not to harm the young cub. Little did they know that it was naturally predisposed to masochism, and after a few kicks from the Heavenly Emperor, it obediently submitted...
Wan Shixiong regretted his actions, feeling he had been too gentle—this was the biggest reason for his failure!
However, he still had one last chance, and Wan Shixiong decided to no longer be gentle, he wanted to be violently wild.
"You want to kill me?" Ye Chen exuded a surge of Hongmeng Purple Qi, which was the fortune shared with him by the Kirin beast.
"A Kirin can only have one master, and only when its master dies can the Kirin choose a new one!" Wan Shixiong was overflowing with heroic energy, striving for a comeback to unleash his strongest killing move to annihilate Ye Chen.
"You all want to kill me as well?" Ye Chen looked towards Hua Chang, Zi Feng, and First Sword, who all had a strong killing intent and seemed to have the desire to kill and seize treasures.
"We have crossed several continents just to obtain the Kirin, and even if the Kirin has chosen its master, we won't give up so easily?" First Sword arrogantly approached, with a great sword materializing around him, shocking the starry space, and also wishing to exterminate Ye Chen and recapture the Kirin.
"I need a mount, and the Kirin is just right!" A peerless woman approached, her body emanating a strange fragrance that unsettled the mind and soul; this person was the Saintess of Baihua Palace.
"The Kirin is a divine beast, even Saints covet it, your strength isn't enough to protect it!"
Leng Hanyu's wings at his back dispersed divine glory, rippling with a force capable of destroying heaven and earth; he eyed Ye Chen with a predatory gaze, ready to explode into action.
Ye Chen looked at the oppressive approach of the nine grand supremes with an unprecedented gravity in his heart; each one of these youths was not weaker than him, and now with nine supremes acting in concert, this was almost an assured killing formation.
But the Kirin had chosen him as its master, so this battle was inevitable!
Ye Chen had previously kicked the Kirin away to avoid drawing too much attention, for that would have led to a deadly catastrophe.
However, none of this was avoided, as the Kirin truly chose him as its master, and the killing encirclement of the nine grand supremes followed.
"Roar roar!"
The little Kirin roared low beside Ye Chen, unsettled by the siege of the nine, sensing an intense danger.
"Enough, since you have chosen me as your master, then I will shield you from the killing tribulation and prove that I have the strength to be your master!" Ye Chen spoke softly to the little Kirin beside him, seeming to have made a certain decision.
"Roar!" The little Kirin roared fiercely, moving to Ye Chen's side, prepared to fight alongside him.
"This is my battlefield, you just need to watch quietly, there's no need for you to intervene!" Ye Chen said.
The little Kirin, like a supreme war beast, showed its edge against the nine grand supremes, but Ye Chen blocked it, preventing it from taking action.
"Roar!" The little Kirin roared lowly at Ye Chen as if it didn't understand his intent.
"I'm fighting to make a name for myself in the myriad worlds; do you really want to steal my thunder?"
Ye Chen again kicked the Kirin away, causing a stir among the cultivators all around; this guy was truly too ferocious.
"I am the Heavenly Emperor from the Nine Heavens, and today marks my first battle in this world; you nine, come at me altogether!" Ye Chen boasted boundlessly, daring to take on a group alone, facing off against the nine grand supremes by himself.
Ye Chen's brazen declaration of war silenced the nine; they were all young supremes, each dominating a continent, how could they possibly join forces against a foe?
"What are you hesitating for, come at me all together!" Ye Chen looked at the nine as if a Heavenly Emperor descended, disdainfully commanding them.
"..."
"Even though the Heavenly Emperor is mighty and invincible, there are nine grand supremes here, each not weaker than him; how dare he be so arrogant?"
The performance of the Heavenly Emperor shocked everyone, wanting to fight one against nine; was he seeking to defy the heavens?
Each of the young supremes was supremely arrogant, and the Heavenly Emperor dared to provoke them like this; wasn't he afraid of completely enraging them?
However, to everyone's shock, faced with the Heavenly Emperor's outrageous provocation, the nine grand supremes suddenly took action, actually accepting his challenge, uniting to suppress the Heavenly Emperor.
"Kill!"
Wan Shixiong was the first to launch an attack, with one punch colossi emerged, seeking to ruthlessly crush Ye Chen.
"Primordial Light!" Zi Feng came with unmatched speed, extending his hand and causing divine light to surge throughout heaven and earth, judging Ye Chen.
"The Sword Moves Through Three Thousand Realms!" First Sword transformed into a giant sword, slashing towards Ye Chen. He was a special combat body, innately close to the Sword Dao, wielding inconceivable means of the sword, as if the son of the Sword Dao itself!
"True Phoenix Scorches the Heavens!" Hua Chang, inside her reverberated a phoenix cry, echoing through heaven and earth, a fire phoenix soared out from within her, burning towards Ye Chen.
"Too Yin Primordial..."
The nine grand supremes launched their attacks simultaneously to suppress the Heavenly Emperor, each displaying their unrivaled Divine Skills, instantly causing the world to erupt in chaos.
Wan Shixiong, Hua Chang, Zi Feng, and the others, although they were oppressing the Kirin together, were all fighting individually, having never truly united.
But now, with the appearance of the Heavenly Emperor, the nine grand supremes came together to encircle and kill, leaving all the cultivators in astonishment as such a lineup was too frightening; even the Other Shore Grand Master would surely have to temporarily evade their edge, right?
The Heavenly Emperor stood between heaven and earth, with the nine grand supremes furiously coming to kill him, his way of responding was simple and plain, that was to raise his hand, and throw a punch!
