Chapter 1062: Struggle for Dominion

The mountain peak collapsed, radiant light surged, and chaotic energy billowed into the sky.

A graceful young girl walked lightly, following behind a small Qilin as it left its slumbering grounds.

This place was thick with immortal energy, white mist swirling—clearly an extraordinary treasure land. Even after being sealed for countless ages, it remained transcendent and otherworldly.

Not only Shi Hao, but others also recognized the girl, exclaiming in shock.

“How did this little girl end up here?!” Cao Yusheng’s eyes widened as if he had seen a ghost.

“Did she enter the sealed land ahead of time?” The Dragon Maiden also frowned.

As for the others, like the geniuses from beyond this realm who had never seen the girl before, they stared dumbfounded, their gazes fixed on the snow-white Qilin and the girl.

“By the Immortal Kings above! Could that girl have been sealed since the Immortal Ancient Era, surviving until now, emerging alongside the White Qilin?”

“Heavens, has a true immortal—one who never perished—awakened in this world?”

Many gasped in disbelief, struggling to accept what they were witnessing.

She appeared young, only thirteen or fourteen, with a slender and elegant figure. Her silver hair cascaded like silk down to her waist, smooth and lustrous. Her large, ruby-like eyes sparkled with intelligence, darting around as she assessed her surroundings.

She was a lively little girl, brimming with mischief, clearly plotting her escape.

Soon, she spotted the stunned Shi Hao. Her crimson eyes lit up, and she grinned, waving frantically. “Hey, hey, hey! Aren’t you going to save me? I’m right here!”

It was the Moon Hare—somehow, she had ended up here and even managed to lure away the White Qilin cub!

Now realizing the danger, with many hostile eyes fixed upon her, she immediately turned to Shi Hao for help.

In an instant, all eyes shifted to Shi Hao.

“An inside-out collaboration? So she has backup. I knew a little girl couldn’t have tamed a White Qilin on her own,” muttered a cultivator from beyond this realm, unafraid of the girl but wary of Shi Hao.

“How could this girl earn the White Qilin’s recognition? That’s a being on par with True Dragons and Heavenly Phoenixes!” Cao Yusheng was the most incredulous.

This pretty little rabbit always claimed to be vegetarian, yet often got drunk and ate meat. Still, she was harmless and rather adorable.

But now she had pulled off something unbelievable.

Cao Yusheng gaped, unable to accept it.

In truth, Shi Hao was even more shocked. How had the Moon Hare succeeded? Could she be the reincarnation of that girl from the Immortal Ancient Era?

Yet he saw no resemblance—her appearance was entirely different, and even her soul fluctuations didn’t match. They were two distinct people.

The only similarity was their temperament—both were mischievous, lively little girls. But their souls were not the same.

Had the Qilin cub made a mistake? Shi Hao seriously doubted it. The little beast must have been tricked by the hare’s antics, stumbling out in confusion.

“Hey, Uncle Shi Hao! Are you listening? I’m calling you!” Clearly displeased, the Moon Hare deliberately addressed him this way.

Shi Hao’s face darkened instantly. He was only around twenty—how was he an uncle?!

Though the hare had always been mischievous, she had never called him that before. She was definitely trying to provoke him.

The Dragon Maiden stifled a laugh, her graceful figure swaying like a divine lotus in the wind. Chang Gongyan also chuckled, waving in their direction.

“Uncle Chang Gongyan is much nicer! Come save me! Oh, and that fatso over there—hurry up and help!” The Moon Hare waved, flashing her pearly white teeth as she jumped and shouted.

Chang Gongyan was stunned. Cao Yusheng gritted his teeth.

The Moon Hare was blocked—Ning Chuan stood in her path, his expression cold, refusing to let her pass.

The outsiders, now learning from the cultivators of the Three Thousand Provinces that this girl was not from the previous era but the current Moon Hare, also moved to intercept her.

By now, many had arrived—not just them, but also the Banished Immortal, the Witch, the Ten Crown King, Yue Chan, Shi Yi, and the Three Stone Heavenly Monarch.

It was a gathering of the greatest young elites, nearly all present.

“Help! Don’t take my Little Dot!” the Moon Hare cried, feigning distress as she pleaded with Shi Hao and Cao Yushen.

The Witch burst into laughter. Both she and Yue Chan knew that Shi Hao had been called “Little Dot” in the lower realm. Now the hare had given the Qilin the same name—hilarious.

“Rabbit, if you keep talking nonsense, we won’t save you!” Shi Hao pointed at her.

“What nonsense?!” The Moon Hare pouted, glaring at them with her big red eyes.

“Attack!” Someone lunged forward, aiming to seize the Qilin cub.

The mountain had collapsed, immortal mist swirling, chaos overflowing. Though the scene appeared serene, no one dared let their guard down—bloody puddles still littered the ground.

Earlier, some had stepped into them and melted into pus.

Whoosh!

A Heavenly Wolf, wreathed in azure light, tore through the void, pouncing toward the Qilin cub.

Clearly, this was a powerful outsider, transforming into his true form to maximize his strength, hoping to succeed in one strike.

Shi Hao stepped forward. The Dragon Maiden and Cao Yushen also prepared to act, while Chang Gongyan nocked an arrow, ready to shoot.

But unexpectedly, someone moved faster—Ning Chuan.

With a roar, his body erupted in holy light, his blood energy surging like a tide.

On his forehead, the Qilin mark spread, enveloping his entire body!

He formed the Qilin Seal and charged, his fist shattering heaven and earth as he struck the azure wolf.

“Dare to act recklessly?!” Another outsider moved to assist the wolf, blocking Ning Chuan.

But under the Qilin Seal, the man was no match. His crimson halberd shattered into pieces, the blade spinning back and impaling him.

Blood gushed—a cultivator of this level would never normally be wounded by his own weapon.

This outcome proved Ning Chuan’s overwhelming power. His laws suppressed the man, nearly killing him.

“Ning Chuan! You’re about to enter the Boundless Heavens—will you make enemies of us now?” the wolf bellowed, both warning and threatening.

Boom!

Ning Chuan answered with another punch, the Qilin Seal manifesting as a massive White Qilin that pounced on the wolf.

“Awooo—!”

The wolf’s mournful howl echoed, as if from a vast grassland where it once ruled with blood and iron.

An illusion appeared—an endless plain, blood staining the earth, a colossal wolf howling at the moon, spewing starlight to annihilate its foes.

With a deafening crash, Ning Chuan’s fist tore through the sky.

The White Qilin trampled the grassland, shattered the moon, and crushed the wolf beneath its might!

Boom!

The heavens trembled. Ning Chuan stood alone, the wolf obliterated, chaos swirling around him like an invincible sovereign.

His white robes fluttered, unstained by blood. With a single strike, he had slain a powerful outsider.

The crowd was stunned not just by his strength, but by the technique he wielded—the Qilin Art!

Many paled, especially when they noticed the Qilin cub tilting its head, studying Ning Chuan with curiosity.

Disaster loomed—if the cub felt drawn to him, it might leap into his arms.

Ning Chuan was a far greater threat than the girl, given his connection to the Qilin lineage.

He whispered, communicating with the cub.

“Little White, come here!” Even the Moon Hare grew anxious, abandoning her nickname and calling it directly.

The cub, only a foot long, was pure white with crystalline scales and soft horns. Its big eyes blinked adorably.

But now it hesitated, glancing between Ning Chuan and the girl, scratching its head in confusion.

“Come!”

An outsider roared, a massive hand descending like a mountain to grab the cub—the golden-haired youth from the Boundless Heavens.

Ning Chuan wouldn’t allow it. He abandoned persuasion and lunged.

Finally, the cub made its choice. Seeing both reaching for it, it turned and leaped into the Moon Hare’s arms.

The girl beamed, hugging the little creature tightly.

“Let go!”

Ning Chuan and the golden-haired youth both attacked.

“Back off!”

Shi Hao’s voice thundered as he appeared before the hare like an unshakable mountain.

His left fist unleashed the Cycle Fist, his right the Willow Deity’s Art, meeting both foes head-on.

Boom!

The impact was like a divine drum, splitting the sky.

The land shattered, the void cracked, and everything blurred into ruin.

When the dust settled, Shi Hao stood firm, his black hair dancing in the wind, his gaze deep and unyielding.

Ning Chuan and the golden-haired man frowned. This enemy was formidable—any further clash would be a battle to the death.
