After leaving the sight of the team and entering the Nameless Mountain Stream where the Black Qilin resided, Chen Guan immediately summoned the Profound Celestial Infinite Divine Armor, his entire body instantly enveloped in armor resembling profound iron, with only his eyes exposed.
With a similar Profound Iron Battle Spear in hand, Chen Guan made a gesture, and countless Star Gauze flew out, transforming into dots of stars that shrouded his body, forming a layer of Star Gauze Armor beneath the Profound Celestial Infinite Divine Armor. A strange power also filled his entire being, making his Primordial Energy even more vigorous and strong.
Chen Guan's actions did not cease; he stretched his hand once more and summoned the Rouge Rabbit.
His level was still not high enough, and to fight against the World-Defying Secret Spirit in its Third Awakening, he had to give his all.
"Ghost Eye, oh Ghost Eye, whether you're a dragon or a worm, it all depends on this battle. If you're truly of the Dragon Emperor Bloodline, then in this fight, transform from serpent to dragon and soar to the clouds..." Chen Guan unleashed his Spirit of the Cheerleaders, fervently bolstering Ghost Eye and Rouge.
In this battle, Ghost Eye was the main force. Although it was only at level twelve, its physical strength was likely greater than that of the Black Qilin, and it had an ability that might be effective against it.
This was why Chen Guan dared to come here alone for a gamble; otherwise, he wouldn't risk it.
Even if it failed, he could always flee, caring little for face.
The Twin Dragon Eyes were a new skill that Ghost Eye awakened during its Second Awakening.
Neither Rouge nor Ming Fei awakened new Secret Skills during their Second Awakening, but Ghost Eye was lucky enough to awaken a new Secret Skill.
Chen Guan suspected that the Twin Dragon Eye Secret Skill resulted from Ghost Eye devouring the Evil Asura and, during its Second Awakening, mainly awakening new skills using the Evil Asura's power.
It sounded unrelated to the Asura, seemingly a dragon's ability.
Nevertheless, the effect of the Twin Dragon Eyes, however, was the Judgement of Good and Evil. Once Ghost Eye activated this skill, its originally one-black and one-white eyes would transform to become half black and half white, resembling the intertwining of yin and yang, and like a confrontation between good and evil.
At this moment, any creature making eye contact with Ghost Eye would suddenly experience a clash of consciousness, similar to when it couldn't attack Good Asura during the fight against the Evil Asura, causing a momentary confusion.
This effect wouldn't last long, and if the gap in level were too large, its effect would significantly diminish.
Chen Guan gambled that the Twin Dragon Eyes would affect the Black Qilin, even if just for a second.
If effective, Chen Guan would strike with all his might, ideally killing or heavily injuring the Black Qilin. If not, he would simply turn and leave without any hesitation.
If the Twin Dragon Eyes had no effect, Chen Guan would turn and leave without even attempting a trial.
Directly confronting the World-Defying Secret Spirit in its Third Awakening, Chen Guan didn't believe he stood any chance.
Not long into the mist-shrouded mountain stream, Chen Guan saw a Secret Spirit as large as an elephant, covered in ink-black scales, with a black horn atop its head. Resembling a dragon and a horse, a lion and a deer, yet unlike any of them.
"What a magnificent Qilin!" Chen Guan couldn't help but praise. The Black Qilin was more majestic than Ji Nanhong's Fire Qilin mount.
Of course, it was also because the Black Qilin's level was higher than Ji Nanhong's Fire Qilin.
The Qilin's size typically increases with level, just like Ghost Eye, which was evidently larger now compared to its First Awakening.
Upon entering the mountain stream, even with Ghost Eye's soundless movement, the Black Qilin, drinking water in the stream, detected it.
It was extremely vigilant, immediately turning its head to fix its gaze on Ghost Eye.
Chen Guan urged Ghost Eye to dash forward, simultaneously activating the Twin Dragon Eye Secret Skill.
Ghost Eye's originally one-black and one-white eyes suddenly rotated, the black eye revealing a white half and the white eye revealing a black half.
The black and white boundaries were clear, then they began to rapidly rotate.
The Black Qilin, fixated on Ghost Eye's gaze, glanced into its eyes, and a spiral halo appeared within its dark pupils.
"It worked!" Thrilled, Chen Guan opened the Pure Yang Sword Immortal, transforming into the White-clothed Sword Immortal, soaring upward from above Ghost Eye like a Sword Rainbow, piercing towards the Black Qilin's eyes.
He aimed for a lethal strike, not giving the Black Qilin a chance to use its Secret Collection, or else, infused with the terrifying Secret Power, Chen Guan wasn't sure if he could evade it with the Pure Yang Sword Immortal, considering the vast level difference.
Boom!
The Sword Rainbow pierced through, the Sword Aura-filled Profound Celestial Infinite Battle Spear stabbed into the Black Qilin's eye, but penetrated less than half a foot and could go no further.
Startled, Chen Guan realized that such a shallow depth couldn't pierce the Black Qilin's brain.
An instant of contemplation, Chen Guan made a swift decision, drawing the Miaoshu Sword from his waist with unmatched Sword Aura, stabbing it into the Black Qilin's other eye.
All this occurred in an instant, looking to an outsider as if the spear and sword simultaneously pierced the Black Qilin's eyes.
Upon completing this, Chen Guan stepped on the Black Qilin's face with both feet, utilizing the Pure Yang Sword Immortal's power to leap up and swiftly flee, simultaneously retracting Rouge and Ghost Eye.
Roar!
With its eyes pierced, the Black Qilin let out an earth-shattering howl, tossing its head wildly, its eyes spurting blood.
Crash! Crash!
The Black Qilin emitted an unparalleled terrifying aura, its hoof striking the ground, shattering rocks and propelling water several meters high into the air.
Watching from over a hundred meters away, Chen Guan saw the blinded Black Qilin recklessly unleashing Primordial Energy, rampaging through the mountain stream, shattering several-meter-tall rocks into pieces upon impact.
For a moment, the mountain stream roared like thunder, the sounds of crashing echoing against the sky.
The distant team, upon hearing the earth-shattering roar and explosions, were filled with shock and fear.
They thought Chen Guan was only saving face, merely going to take a look before returning, never expecting him to truly provoke a World-Defying Secret Spirit in its Third Awakening. Wasn't this courting death?
Having set out just that morning, their leader seemingly perished while the rest remained unscathed. Would Ji Nanhong, the Corps Commander, spare them upon their return?
An Yiqi was full of concern, knowing Chen Guan was strong, but considering he had only just undergone his Second Awakening at level twelve or thirteen, facing a level twenty-plus Black Qilin was daunting.
Seeing the maddened Black Qilin, incessantly erupting Primordial Energy, Chen Guan felt exhilarated instead of fearful.
The Black Qilin was indeed unmatched in strength, in a direct fight, he was no match, not even with the Pure Yang Sword Immortal and Ming Fei's enhancement.
But now, the Black Qilin's ceaseless Primordial Energy bursts meant once exhausted, it would fall prey to Chen Guan's slaughter.
Regardless of a World-Defying Secret Spirit's Third Awakening, without Primordial Energy, it couldn't withstand the domineering power of the Pure Yang Sword Immortal.
Chen Guan waited for a moment when the Black Qilin depleted its Secret Collection power but, despite going berserk, it refrained from using it.
Instead, it seemed to calm down, ceasing the use of berserk Secret Skills.
"That won't do." Chen Guan, with a thought, summoned an ordinary ghost pet, directing it to charge at the Black Qilin.
Now blinded, the Black Qilin, disturbed, became ferocious, attacking with Secret Skills towards the ghost's location immediately.
Within a single moment, the ghost had no chance to evade, crushed to death, trampled into dust.
Delighted, Chen Guan summoned another ghost to provoke the Black Qilin.
Already disturbed, the Black Qilin, unaware of the ploy, continually unleashed Secret Skills, annihilating one ghost after another, while its Primordial Energy steadily diminished.
Boom!
A formidable force erupted from the Black Qilin's body, in which Chen Guan vaguely saw the illusive outline of a Qilin appearing and disappearing.
"It finally used its Secret Collection's power!" Chen Guan was overjoyed.
The next second, he saw black flames erupting from the Black Qilin, resembling an ancient beast engulfed in black fire, wildly roaring and galloping, leaving behind a trail of fiery black illusions akin to a demon or god.
Everything in its path shattered, the ground beneath its hooves splintered.
Augmented by its Secret Collection power, the Black Qilin transformed into an unstoppable armored force, crushing everything before it.
The Black Qilin roared violently and charged, yet its Secret Collection's power was limited. Before long, the black flames dissipated, its Primordial Energy reduced to a thin veil.
"Now is the time..." Seeing the Black Qilin already weakened, its Primordial Energy nearly exhausted, Chen Guan activated the Pure Yang Sword Immortal once again, transforming into a Sword Rainbow across the void, striking at it.
