Chapter 2118: Unexpected Reinforcements

A young man in a white robe stepped out from the void and slowly walked toward Ye Yuan, seemingly unaffected by the Emperor Bone.

"Qi Zixu!"

In the crowd, Long Zhi's expression changed drastically when he saw the white-clad youth.

Long Xiaochun looked at Long Zhi with curiosity, sensing his wariness.

Clearly, this Qi Zixu was no ordinary being.

But even a fool could see that this Celestial Emperor of the Qilin Clan, who could resist the bloodline pressure of the Emperor Bone, was certainly not an ordinary person.

Qi Shaoyun was still kneeling there!

"Now Ye Yuan is in trouble. Celestial Emperor Zixu is not afraid of the Emperor Bone's pressure!" Long Xiaohai said worriedly.

Long Zhi shook his head and said, "Who says he's not afraid? If he weren't, he would have slapped Ye Yuan to death long ago!"

Long Xiaohai's mouth fell open in shock.

The power of this Emperor Bone was truly beyond imagination!

"Another Celestial Emperor! It seems the Qilin Clan is serious this time."

"An innocent man may become guilty because of his treasure. The Sub-Saint was right! Compared to this Emperor Bone, even a mere Qi Zhen is nothing."

"How could the Qilin Clan resist this Emperor Bone!"

...

The demons in the city were all horrified; the situation had completely spiraled out of control.

Even Gongyang Lie stared dumbfounded at Celestial Emperor Zixu, his face full of shock.

He hadn't expected the Qilin Clan to send Celestial Emperor Zixu as well.

Both were Celestial Emperors, but Qi Shaoyun was nothing compared to Qi Zixu.

At this moment, Ye Yuan's face was grim; things had gone beyond his control.

The Qilin Clan's reaction was far more intense than he had anticipated.

He also sensed that Qi Zixu's strength far exceeded Qi Shaoyun's, and his bloodline power was so formidable that even the Emperor Bone struggled to suppress him.

After all, no matter how strong the Emperor Bone was, it was just a bone; it couldn't be infinitely powerful and suppress all Qilin Clan members.

When a Qilin Clan member became strong enough, they could naturally break free from the bloodline pressure.

However, Ye Yuan could tell that Qi Zixu was not at ease.

He was only pretending to be calm; in reality, the pressure on him was no less.

Celestial Emperor Shaoyun's face lit up with ecstasy when he saw Celestial Emperor Zixu.

"Lord Zixu, you... you came just in time! This brat dared to insult our Qilin Clan. You must kill him!" Qi Shaoyun glared at Ye Yuan, his face full of grief and indignation.

Since he had risen to prominence, countless eons had passed.

He had never experienced such humiliation as today.

With countless demon elites below, he had been forced to kneel in public.

Celestial Emperor Zixu nodded slightly, indicating he understood.

His face was calm, but all his energy was focused on resisting the Emperor Bone's pressure.

If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he would have found it hard to believe that a single Emperor Bone could possess such terrifying bloodline pressure.

Under everyone's gaze, Celestial Emperor Zixu slowly walked up to the Emperor Bone.

He slowly extended a palm, and blue fine lines spread out like ivy, creeping toward the Emperor Bone.

Soon, the Emperor Bone was enveloped by countless patterns.

The Qilin Clan experts, including Celestial Emperor Shaoyun, felt the pressure on them lighten, and they could stand up.

Ye Yuan squinted, trying to urge the Emperor Bone to break free from the pattern's restraint, but the power was too strong for him to shake.

Celestial Emperor Zixu looked at Ye Yuan as if he were an ant and said indifferently, "Don't waste your effort. This Emperor Bone originally belonged to my Qilin Clan. Now it can be returned to its rightful owner."

"Hahaha... Returned to its rightful owner? Your Qilin Clan is as shameless as ever! As the saying goes, 'If the upper beam is crooked, the lower beam will be crooked.' No wonder Qi Yun and Qi Zhen are so shameless." Ye Yuan laughed loudly.

Ye Yuan had truly witnessed the Qilin Clan's arrogance and shamelessness.

From top to bottom, their style was surprisingly consistent!

Celestial Emperor Zixu was completely unperturbed and said indifferently, "Are you angry now? But your anger won't solve anything. What you should be angry about is your weakness. My Qilin Clan has stood proud for millennia. How powerful we are! How dare a mere True God Realm like you act wild? Hmm?"

With a cold snort, Ye Yuan felt as if struck by a ten-thousand-jun heavy hammer. His body flew backward, and blood sprayed from his mouth.

Ye Yuan barely steadied himself, but as soon as he looked up, Celestial Emperor Zixu was already before him.

"Kneel!"

Celestial Emperor Zixu gave a low shout, and Ye Yuan felt as if the sky were collapsing, with boundless force pressing down on his shoulders.

Ye Yuan was instantly drenched in sweat, and his bones creaked.

Blood seeped from his skin under the immense pressure, making him look ferocious.

But he stood stubbornly.

Two powerful bloodline forces surged from Ye Yuan's body.

At the same time, the *Chaos Connecting Heaven Sutra* spun wildly to resist the pressure.

Additionally, Ye Yuan continuously activated the Law of Space to divert the force.

Unless absolutely necessary, Ye Yuan did not want to use the Divine Rune Space.

"Make me kneel? Only over my dead body!" Ye Yuan gritted his teeth.

Celestial Emperor Zixu was astonished to see Ye Yuan barely holding off his pressure with all his means.

He looked at Ye Yuan and nodded slightly. "Law of Space, True Dragon bloodline, Qilin bloodline—you have quite a few tricks! I must admit, you are exceptional. But before me, all this is but an illusion. Kneel before me!"

Boom!

An even more terrifying force descended like a blanket.

Ye Yuan's vision went dark, and he nearly fell to his knees.

He knew that if he didn't use the Divine Rune Space, he would be humiliated today.

Just as his Divine Rune Space was about to activate, a pure white figure suddenly appeared beside Ye Yuan, raised a fist, and punched directly.

Boom!

Crack, crack, crack...

The space around Ye Yuan developed fine cracks.

Finally, it collapsed with a bang.

The pressure on Ye Yuan suddenly lifted, and he could move freely.

The heavy pressure Celestial Emperor Zixu had imposed was completely shattered by that punch.

He looked at the figure beside him in astonishment, speechless.

"Hehe, I told you I'm very strong!" Long Xiaochun grinned at Ye Yuan, shaking her fist.

Long Zhi was so startled he nearly fell to the ground, muttering in exasperation, "Damn it! When did that little girl slip over!"

Long Xiaochun was a mischievous sprite; he had let his guard down for a moment, and she had slipped away.

But at this point, he couldn't stand idly by. He had to step forward into the void.

Celestial Emperor Zixu stared coldly at Long Xiaochun and said in a deep voice, "Little girl of the Dragon Clan, do you think I dare not kill you?"

"If you dare kill her, my Dragon Clan will go to war with your Qilin Clan!" Long Zhi walked over slowly and said calmly.
