Chapter 1542: Chapter 1542: This Dumb Pig!
Fortunately, the Little Auspicious Beast not only possessed the Qilin Bloodline, but also the bloodline of Aolai, the King of Ten Thousand Beasts. If it had been any other Exotic Beasts or even Divine Beast, they would probably have been torn to pieces in this clash between the two kinds of Heaven and Earth Power.
But no matter how noble his bloodline, he was after all still very young, and his Qilin Blood Essence had once suffered heavy damage, so his strength was still extremely limited. As the Heaven and Earth Power around him continued to gather, his expression grew more and more agonized.
On that originally elegant yet mighty body, wounds suddenly split open one after another, fresh blood pouring out.
Those eyes that had shone with Divine Light also turned blood‑red from pain.
If this continued, the Little Auspicious Beast would surely die.
"Young Master!!!" Jue Dang let out a sorrowful cry, clearly having understood the cause as well.
Suddenly, an ancient, desolate chant sounded from Jue Dang’s mouth, and a radiance filled with fantastical colors descended from the sky like a chain, linking him and the Little Auspicious Beast together.
In an instant, Old Qilin once again revealed his beast form, his expression becoming incomparably pained, violet‑red blood seeping from the corner of his mouth.
Life Contract!
Mu Hanyan suddenly reacted; Old Qilin was actually using a Life Contract to bind his life to that of the Little Auspicious Beast, diverting a portion of that Power of Law onto himself.
Unlike those Lifebound Contracts where both sides stake their lives on each other, this was a completely one‑sided contract. It could even be said that Old Qilin was sacrificing his own life in order to preserve the Little Auspicious Beast’s.
The other Exotic Beasts, seeing this, also hurriedly activated their Life Contracts. In an instant, radiance blossomed in ten thousand streams all around, as if countless chains were linking the Little Auspicious Beast to those Exotic Beasts that likewise possessed the Qilin Bloodline.
Unfortunately, though those Exotic Beasts were numerous, they neither had the Little Auspicious Beast’s bloodline constitution nor Old Qilin’s powerful strength. In just a short moment, over a hundred Exotic Beasts spewed blood and collapsed to the ground, while the remaining Exotic Beasts also became listless and drained, the light of those chains growing dimmer and dimmer.
The Little Auspicious Beast once again let out a painful screech, blood gushing from his body, dyeing even the Earth beneath his feet a bright red.
Looking at those Exotic Beasts lying motionless on the ground, Mu Hanyan suddenly thought of something. She also had a contract with the Little Auspicious Beast. Although that contract had been voluntarily signed by the Little Auspicious Beast, so she would not be dragged down in every way like Xia Youchen, at this moment when the Little Auspicious Beast was suffering such torment, she actually felt nothing at all. That was somewhat off.
Mu Hanyan focused her Mental State and quickly discovered the reason. The Little Auspicious Beast had actually sealed off the spiritual link between them; she hadn’t expected that after one sleep, he would gain such an ability.
Mu Hanyan’s eyes instantly grew moist.
"You stupid pig!" Mu Hanyan cursed under her breath through her tears and suddenly cast hand gestures.
The sealed spiritual link was forced open once more, and a fantastical light like a chain appeared between Mu Hanyan and the Little Auspicious Beast.
In an instant, Mu Hanyan felt her Qi surge out like a breached flood, pouring madly into the Little Auspicious Beast’s body.
Only then did she truly understand how unlimited the potential of a Qilin Divine Beast’s talent was. One must know that the Mu Family’s Heavenly Heart Technique replaced the Qi Sea with the Heart Meridian as the place where Qi was refined and stored, far more vast and expansive than that of other cultivators, so her Qi was much more abundant and condensed.
And her Heavenly Heart Technique had advanced several times, making her many times stronger than the other Mu Family’s disciples. Yet even so, her Qi, to the Little Auspicious Beast, was still like a drop in the ocean.
In just a short moment, Mu Hanyan’s complexion turned deathly pale. Her footing staggered, and she almost fell to the ground.
"Han Yan!" Huayue and the others exclaimed simultaneously.
"I’m fine, don’t worry." Mu Hanyan said.
Though she claimed to be fine, her voice trembled slightly. As her Qi was consumed at high speed, even her vitality began to slowly ebb away. She was no stranger to this feeling. Back when she had just obtained the Little Auspicious Beast, her vitality had been drawn into that Beast Egg and could not be shaken off. If Ye Yanran hadn’t acted in time, she might have lost her life right then.
And this time, the situation was even more perilous than before.
Huayue looked at Mu Hanyan’s increasingly pale face, bit his teeth, and with a thought once again summoned the Iron-Backed Saber-Toothed Tiger.
Although Huayue himself did not know how to display a Life Contract Chain like Old Qilin, nor did he have a contract link with the Little Auspicious Beast like Mu Hanyan, so he could not help even if he wanted to, one must not forget that he had a Sword Pet. He could not use a Life Contract, but the Iron-Backed Saber-Toothed Tiger could.
Just as the Blood Sacrifice Technique was not considered a particularly profound strange and mysterious arts for human cultivators, the Life Contract was nothing mysterious or Mysterious for Exotic Beasts; any whose strength had reached a certain level could use it.
The Iron-Backed Saber-Toothed Tiger was clearly a bit unwilling, but under Huayue’s pressure, it still had no choice but to let out a long roar. The Master-Servant Contract between it and Huayue was completely unequal; even if Huayue wanted it to sacrifice its life, it had no choice in the matter.
With that beastly roar, a halo chain descended onto the Iron-Backed Saber-Toothed Tiger, linking it to the Little Auspicious Beast, and at the same time linking Huayue, who stood beside the Iron-Backed Saber-Toothed Tiger.
So this was Huayue’s true intention: to borrow the contractual link with the Iron-Backed Saber-Toothed Tiger to share his own Qi and vitality with the Little Auspicious Beast, and at the same time share it with Mu Hanyan.
.bg-ssp-10081{margin-left:auto;margin-right:auto;display:flex;justify-content:center;}Zirong and the others suddenly understood and likewise summoned their own Sword Pets.
Amid beastly roars, several beams of light appeared at once, forming chains of wondrous, multicolored radiance that linked the Little Auspicious Beast, Mu Hanyan, Jue Dang, as well as Huayue and the others to their Sword Pets.
With their support, Mu Hanyan immediately felt much lighter, but Huayue and the others, along with their Sword Pets, all became weak and drained. Their strength was inferior to Mu Hanyan’s to begin with, and their vitality could not compare to that of those Exotic Beasts. The only reason they hadn’t shriveled into dried husks was clearly because their Divine Guardian Bloodline had awakened.
But even so, as time slowly passed, their faces grew paler and paler, and sweat poured from their bodies like rain. It was clear they could not hold on for long.
Mu Hanyan was unbearably anxious. At this rate, whether it was she, Huayue and the others, or even the Little Auspicious Beast itself, they would all sooner or later die beneath that vast Heaven and Earth Rules.
Unless the Little Auspicious Beast could quickly refine that Qilin Core and completely fuse the power contained within into his own body. But with two different kinds of Power of Laws entangled and clashing within him, he could barely keep his life; how could he have the spare strength to refine that Core?
Mu Hanyan did not blame the little fellow for being greedy. In fact, whether on the Holy Court Continent or on the Divine Continent, the result would have been the same as long as he swallowed this Core, and Mu Hanyan would never have waited until some future day when she left the Holy Court Continent before letting him take it.
Seeing Huayue and Mu Hanyan’s faces grow whiter and whiter, Zhuang Ping’an and the others were anxious to the point of burning, but with even Mu Hanyan helpless, what could they do? Without Sword Pets, they couldn’t even risk their lives the way Huayue and the others did.
Suddenly, Huayue let out a long howl, and a mist of blood appeared around his body, burning like flame.
Blood Sacrifice Technique!
