Chapter 541: Treading Fate Imperial Qilin!

This Star Domain's stars are sparse, the spiritual energy is barren, and life planets are almost nowhere to be seen; it is filled with dangerous cosmic rays, spatial rifts, and withered Star Remains.

Here, the True Dragon Bone Vibration finally stabilizes, pointing to the core of this Desolate Star Region, a massive star hanging alone in the dark Void.

When Ye Wuque approaches the star, his heart cannot help but tremble again.

This star is vast, towering, and ancient beyond imagination!

Its size far exceeds ordinary ancient life stars, even larger than some small suns!

The star's surface is not ordinary rock or soil, but a dark‑gold material that seems a fusion of divine metal and ancient jade, incredibly hard and bearing the wear of ages.

What makes Ye Wuque's eyes flicker further is that above this star spreads a beast aura that is profoundly mysterious and supremely noble and great!

This aura is ancient and pure, as if originating from the source of bloodlines, bearing innate nobility and majesty.

At the same time, within this beast aura, there swirls and intertwines an even more profound force, seemingly able to shift the trajectories of all things, glimpse future fragments, and even reverse predetermined outcomes… the Force of Fate!

Force of Fate!

Ye Wuque is not entirely unfamiliar with this power.

In past battles and cultivation, he has vaguely brushed the edge of Fate and has witnessed some divine techniques or treasures involving Fate.

But he knows well that Fate is, across the Zhutian Wanjie, recognized as one of the most mysterious, most powerful, and hardest to control supreme forces!

It is formless and insubstantial, yet omnipresent, threading through past, present, and future, influencing all beings' birth, aging, illness, death, opportunities, calamities, and even the rise and fall of worlds!

Any being that can naturally emit the Force of Fate must have a life essence and governing rules that reach an inconceivable level!

This is far beyond what an ordinary beast could achieve!

"Truly extraordinary!" Ye Wuque concentrates his spirit, gathers all his breath, like a phantom, slowly descending onto this vast ancient star radiating Fate Aura.

The star's surface gravity is immense, the environment harsh; hurricanes cut like knives, thunder crashes like waterfalls, and ordinary beings cannot survive.

But Ye Wuque walks as if on flat ground; his Divine Sense functions like the most precise scanner, carefully sensing the exact location indicated by the True Dragon Bone Vibration.

Soon, in the Beiji region of the ancient star, within the eternally frozen Wanzhang Bingshan Shanmai, he finds the source where the ultimate Imperial Beast Pressure mixes with Fate Aura.

It is a deep cave hidden within the mountain's belly, concealed by thick black ice and natural Space folds.

The cave entrance is extremely concealed; without the True Dragon Bone Guidance, it would be almost impossible to discover.

Standing at the entrance, the Imperial Beast Pressure and Fate Aura are so dense they have become tangible!

The air at the mouth twists under the pressure; light, affected by the Force of Fate, shows strange refraction and overlap, as if the mouth connects to another spacetime.

Ye Wuque steadies his mind and steps into the cave.

The interior of the cave is more spacious than imagined; the passage winds downward, and the walls are composed of a warm, jade‑like, faintly luminous strange ore, naturally etched with countless intricate cryptic patterns, as if recording a code of the Tiandao.

The deeper he goes, the more terrifying the pressure and Fate Aura become, so heavy that even the Void moans under the burden; the Force of Fate even manifests as visible pale‑gold mist drifting slowly through the air, each wisp seeming to contain a fate trajectory that has been altered or fixed.

When Ye Wuque reaches the deepest part of the cave and a massive natural stone hall appears before him, even with his composure and insight he cannot help but be slightly shocked!

In the center of the stone hall, on a vast, flat jade platform that seems cut by an invisible force, sits an enormous skeleton!

The skeleton's whole body exudes a warm jade‑like yet faintly dark‑gold sheen, towering a thousand zhang; even in a seated posture it conveys a grandeur that seems to support the heavens and the Star River.

The skeleton is remarkably intact; its skull, torso, limbs, and tail bones are clearly visible, its form elegant and powerful, radiating innate nobility and perfection.

Yet upon this skeleton there is not a trace of flesh; evidently this being has been dead for countless ancient years.

Even so, around this skeleton still swirls and emits:

Boundless nobility, boundless towering majesty, boundless vastness, boundless ancient Imperial Beast Pressure!

The strength of this pressure surpasses that of the vast majority of beings Ye Wuque has previously sensed; it is purer, more noble, and more awe‑inspiring!

It seems to be the king of all beasts, the ultimate of bloodlines, the supreme existence atop all demonic beasts!

Next comes a power so dense it cannot be dissolved, seemingly able to affect the Fate Current of the Zhutian Wanjie and reverse the Fate River… the Force of Fate!

The pale‑gold Fate mist almost envelops the entire skeleton; within the mist, countless threads of Fate intertwine, break, and re‑weave, portraying the supreme mysteries of birth and death, rise and fall, causality, and reincarnation!

Clearly, even after endless years of death and a body reduced to white bone, nothing diminishes its former supreme majesty and greatness!

This is a true titan standing at the Absolute Peak of the Zhutian!

Ye Wuque's gaze carefully scans the skeleton's features:

The skull is dragon‑like yet not a dragon, deer‑like yet not a deer, crowned with naturally formed bone horns; the body is slender and muscular, containing explosive power; the limbs are robust, claws and toes sharp; a long, clearly segmented tail extends from its back…

Combined with the utmost dense Fate Aura and the response of the True Dragon Bone…

"This is a… Qilin."

Ye Wuque murmurs, then furrows his brow, "No… not an ordinary Qilin. Even an ordinary Qilin, no matter how high its cultivation or how pure its bloodline, should not possess this… an invincible majesty that seems born to tower above all paths and crush everything! Nor could it merit provoking senior Ao Kun's True Dragon Bone to resonate so strongly!"

In his mind, ancient records and legends of the vast Qilin Clan flash by swiftly.

The Qilin Clan has many members: Auspicious Qilin, Thunder Qilin, Five Elements Qilin… Yet among them, one lineage, whose status is transcendent and whose power shakes eternity, is recognized as the supreme imperial blood of the Qilin, ranking among the Ten Great Emperor Fiends of the Zhutian Wanjie!

Its name… Treading Fate Imperial Qilin!
