Chapter 1025: Chapter 110: Heaven and Earth Shatter!

Mu Tianyin’s arm swelled at a speed visible to the naked eye, ballooning rapidly.

The berserk power Qingge was sensing, that savage aura, kept surging higher and higher. It forced her to face it head-on; her hand clenched tightly around the Linglong Spear, power coiling, ready to be unleashed.

"Ah—!"

The swelling of his arm made Mu Tianyin cry out in agony despite himself.

Though the words coming from his mouth were thanks, when he uttered that speech, his tone was thick with rancor so dense it could not be dispelled.

His eyes, full of hatred, locked on Mu Qingge. The madness shining in them made him, right after that scream of pain, suddenly burst into wild laughter.

"Hahahahaha— Mu Qingge, don’t you dare be afraid, because all of this is your gift to me!" Mu Tianyin howled at Mu Qingge, his expression hideously twisted.

Suddenly, the cloth on his right arm, and the glove woven of metallic threads, were forced apart, shredded by the constantly swelling limb.

Fabric tore to pieces, scattering across the ground.

At last, Mu Qingge could clearly see the true face of Mu Tianyin’s new arm.

Mu Qingge’s eyes narrowed sharply, shock surfacing in their depths.

The spot where it joined Mu Tianyin’s right shoulder was not a human arm at all, but the arm of some unknown Beast Clan creature. That arm was far more massive than a human arm.

Visually, its proportions clashed completely with Mu Tianyin’s body, utterly mismatched!

It seemed that the slightly awkward look from before was the sealed state.

The arm was thick and powerful, covered in dense azure scales, with a sharp fin-like spur jutting from the elbow. The five fingers were more like a beast’s claws, the bones starkly defined, each tipped with blade-like talons that gleamed with a cold light.

As if with just the lightest swipe, it could easily shred everything to pieces.

The entire arm was so dark a blue it was nearly black. Because it had been released, from the juncture at the right shoulder a web of blood-red veins extended, bulging beneath the skin, creeping toward Mu Tianyin’s neck and right cheek, making it look terrifyingly feral and grotesque.

The moment that right arm emerged, Mu Qingge saw a violent, tyrannical power coil beneath it. Around the arm, all nearby fragments of stone were ground to powder by the force.

"Qilin Arm! You actually grafted a Qilin Arm onto him!" From the mirror, the High Priest saw this scene and turned to the Tianlu one at his side in shock.

The Tianlu one’s expression remained calm, as if nothing were amiss.

Even facing the High Priest’s questioning, he offered no explanation, simply watching the images in the mirror.

"Do you have any idea what consequences come from grafting a Qilin Arm onto a human body? Once the seal is removed, the beast nature lingering within the Qilin Arm will slowly seize control of the person’s mind, drive him into madness, make him lose his true self. Moreover, the more violent a person’s temperament, the stronger the Qilin Arm’s power will be—and the fiercer its backlash. Even in its sealed state, if the person’s will is not firm enough, it’s very easy for him to be influenced." the High Priest said quickly.

He felt his senior brother had truly gone insane!

By grafting the Qilin Arm onto Mu Tianyin’s severed limb, was he helping him—or destroying him?

The High Priest’s reproach did not raise the slightest ripple on the Tianlu one’s face. Only after he finished speaking did the Tianlu one say mildly, "The Young Master of the Mu Clan must first and foremost possess overwhelming strength. Since his previous arm was not strong enough, I replaced it with a stronger one. What is wrong with that? Didn’t the Mu Ancestor also replace his arm with a Qilin Arm back then?"

The Tianlu one glanced toward the High Priest, a faintly inscrutable emotion flickering in his eyes as calm as still water.

The High Priest froze, blurting, "Can this Mu Tianyin be compared to the Mu Ancestor of those days? The Mu Ancestor possessed indomitable will and formidable power. Even the berserk Qilin Arm could only submit to him. And this Mu Tianyin—does he measure up?"

"If we don’t test him, how will we know? Tianyin ultimately needs an arm." The Tianlu one’s reply was so composed it bordered on ruthless.

It was as if, in his heart, Mu Tianyin was never truly a person at all, but merely a revenge machine he intended to forge with meticulous care!

Unconsciously, the High Priest mourned in silence for Mu Tianyin’s fate.

At this very moment, on the ruins of the Nine Heavens, Mu Tianyin was locked in a life-or-death struggle with Mu Qingge, and perhaps had never truly understood what he was in his own teacher’s eyes.

The High Priest fixed his gaze on his senior brother’s back and slowly shook his head, saying inwardly, "The Tianlu one is meant to submit beneath the Mu Clan. But Mu Tianyin cannot master the Tianlu one, so he is doomed to be a failure, a stepping stone."

...

On the ruins of the Nine Heavens, within that massive floating stone, Mu Tianyin’s right eye had turned completely blood-red, and in the depths of that scarlet gaze a rampaging, ferocious power seemed on the verge of erupting.

Mu Qingge knew it was because Mu Tianyin could not control the berserk power within that arm.

The red veins extending from the arm’s junction up his neck and face had already, in part, invaded his right eye.

What she did not know was that, at this moment, the world in Mu Tianyin’s left eye still looked normal, but in his right eye all he saw was a blood-soaked slaughter, everything dyed in crimson gore.

"Mu Qingge, do you see it? Thanks to you, I can possess such overwhelming power. Tell me—shouldn’t I properly thank you for it?" Mu Tianyin snarled at Mu Qingge, crazed and ferocious.

The corner of his mouth hooked into an evil smile, full of malice.

Mu Qingge’s eyes narrowed, her gaze heavy. She had never seen anything like this, nor did she know just how mighty the force sealed in that arm was, so she had to be fully prepared.

The Linglong Spear in her hand slowly rose, leveling at Mu Tianyin.

The scapula behind Mu Tianyin’s right shoulder had already bulged outward, warping his back into a faint hunch.

Dragging the Qilin Arm, he gave Mu Qingge a madman’s grin.

Suddenly, he raised the Qilin Arm and swung it hard toward where Mu Qingge stood.

In an instant, it was as if a beast’s roar split the air; the berserk power hidden in that arm erupted, surging out and bellowing toward Mu Qingge.

That force carried the momentum to crush all before it. Wherever it passed, wind and cloud changed color, heaven and earth seemed to crack. On the floating stone, it carved a deep, hideous fissure.

"Qilin!" In Mu Qingge’s mind, Hou’s startled voice suddenly rang out.

But she had no time to think. She retreated swiftly, trying to dodge the power of that swinging arm. Yet no matter how fast she moved back, that force still reached her in an instant.

Her eyes widened abruptly; her feet flashed into the Star Beginning Step, shifting her to the side.

Even brushing past that tyrannical force, Mu Qingge felt a burning pain slash across her cheek.

Boom—!

The power failed to hit Mu Qingge, but it struck another floating stone behind her, and the stone exploded on the spot!
