The monkey's face paled, and his body trembled. Even though he was a vicious creature, the crystal terrified him.
The fiery red hexahedral crystal floated up slowly till it reached the stick shadow.
At this moment, like the name of the monkey's skill revealed—the whole world would be devastated.
From the depths of the sky, a stream of flame descended like a waterfall.
As the whole sea below began to boil, several giant fish swimming near the surface stewed and were eventually refined.
The fiery red crystal, meanwhile, battled the runes on the stick shadow until they broke down. Then, the crystal dispersed the shadow.
The monkey's face convulsed violently as the crystal reminded him of a creature that terrified him.
Only he could have such an unmatched aura.
But, the monkey knew that this crystal couldn't be the creature's as it came from the Fire Kylin.
"Back off now, or I'll kill you no matter what,"
said a phantom that had condensed from the hexahedral crystal.
It was a small kylin covered in flames, just like the Fire Kylin.
But, his aura caused the sky to collapse, and the monkey had the uncontrollable impulse to kneel.
"You are the legendary beast from outer space!"
The monkey gritted his teeth and retreated tens of thousands of feet once again.
The small kylin's shadow was cold and silent.
Not far from them, the patriarch of the Water Kylin Clan looked grim as he remained half knelt in the air.
"He's our first ancestor. How could the Fire Kylin be compatible with the incarnation of our first ancestor? Ha-ha..." The patriarch of the Water Kylin Clan felt as though he was going crazy.
When the fiery red crystal rose, the patriarch felt a resonance in his blood. And so, he naturally bowed to it—an instinctive reaction that stemmed from his most primitive impulse.
At this moment, even the Fire Kylin was shocked. He had not known that such a terrifying object was embedded in his mind.
The moment that fiery red crystal popped out, he felt superior and invincible.
The monkey stared at the kylin phantom for a moment. In the end, he could not suppress his fear and was about to retreat.
"Are you afraid?" A voice echoed in the monkey's brain.
"No, I'm not afraid of it. Ha-ha, I'm not afraid of it!" the monkey retorted.
"You are not me! You aren't at the peak of your skills. You have no cause to be fearless!" Another monkey with golden hair appeared in the monkey's mind. This monkey also balanced a long stick that shone with golden runes on his shoulder.
The appearance of this figure caused the monkey to collapse. To him, the golden monkey was even more frightening than the hexahedral crystal.
"Waah... Waah..." Between sobs of desperation, the monkey groveled. "Let me go. Please let me live in the world, okay? Please!"
"Begging him is useless." A black monkey appeared next to the golden one. He emitted a terrible fiendish nature, which was even more horrible than the creatures from the Darkest Hell.
"Inner Fiend! Inner Fiend! Please help me! I don't want to die!" the monkey begged as he knelt.
"From the
s message to Darren.
"Alas, you are right. All I saw was that his irritability led him to hurt many innocent people. Afraid that he would continue to develop a fierce nature, I scolded him without thinking. But, I have gone too far by saying that he will not be my friend if he continues," Darren replied through his spiritual sense.
Then he walked to the Water Kylin's side and patted him on the shoulder.
"My good friend, try to understand that being frantic will not help your grandfather to regain his consciousness," Darren said in a softer voice. "I heard from Mr. Turtle that your grandpa fainted because his faith was shaken after he saw that the Fire Kylin had received the inheritance from your first ancestor.
As far as I know, your clan has such an ancestral inheritance crystal as well. But, your clan hasn't found a pure-blood kylin to be compatible with it in many years. Perhaps you should focus on trying to be compatible with the crystal. Once you succeed, your grandfather will feel that your clan also has the aura of your first ancestor, and I believe that will help him wake up."
Tears welled in the Water Kylin's eyes, and his heart ached when he thought about Darren's earlier unkind words. However, when he heard Darren's suggestion now, he raised his head.
"Are you telling the truth?"
"Mr. Turtle knows your grandpa better than anyone else. He must be telling the truth," Darren replied.
"Well, then, I must make myself compatible with the Water Soul Crystal, and then, I must kill the Fire Kylin!" The Water Kylin became high-spirited all of a sudden. Determination reflected in his eyes as he glanced at Darren.
Then, he turned and walked towards the place where the old turtle man stood. Before leaving the room, the Water Kylin said, "Master, you can hit and curse me any time you want. But don't say that we are not friends. I will be so consumed by sadness that I will die."
Darren was stunned for a moment. His heart ached when he thought about how much he had hurt the Water Kylin.
"I'm sorry, buddy." Darren murmured.
