The hunting ground was surrounded in layers by the Tiger King.
The neutral factions such as bears and snakes instantly distanced themselves from the Tiger King, even retreating into the ranks of the Sea Clan and Fox Clan.
The relatives of the Tiger King, aside from himself, had also quickly left his side after the death of Hu Rong.
The lessons from novels and games seemed vividly present before their eyes.
Following a tyrant leads to no good end.
If one’s rise to power is unjust, retribution is inevitable.
They had long lost the passion and purity of fighting side by side with the Tiger King through life and death.
On the opposing side, the twelve human sects, the number of cultivators from the Annihilation Pavilion who had transcended the Heavenly Tribulation, and the demons from the Dog, Wolf, and Fox Clans—even the nobles within the Tiger Clan gradually distanced themselves from the Tiger King.
“The Tiger Clan aids a tyrant and colludes with the Sage of Heavenly Mechanism. We, the Annihilation Pavilion, have accepted the Lord’s bounty to eliminate the Tiger King!”
“Agreed by the twelve sects of the Eastern Region!”
In an instant, the Tiger King was surrounded.
His aura, at the peak of Tribulation Crossing, roared furiously.
Lin Shuang quickly retreated.
To a corner, she glanced at her tomato timer and picked up the communication stone.
—The Dog Clan Demon
—Fox Clan Demon
—Representative of the Myriad Monks Sect
—Representative of Yunyang Sect
…
“Proceed.”
Lin Shuang activated the communication stone.
Soon, the communication stone resonated with responses from various monster squads and sects.
“Received, we have entered from the west side of the Tiger Clan’s palace.”
“Eastern side… the Shanhai Sect has entered.”
The hunting ground was filled with powerful figures.
The Tiger King’s palace was empty in the void.
Each sect had already coordinated with a squad of Dog, Wolf, and Fox Clan members, and each had a treasure given by elders to resist a single Tribulation-level strike.
No major issues.
Now, all that remained was to spend time searching.
“No findings on the east side of the Tiger Palace.”
“Nothing on the west side either…”
“No sign of the missing demon on the south side.”
Lin Shuang frowned.
In recent days, Huangpu Yuan had found only the latest batch of victims who had not yet been delivered into the palace.
Theoretically, his hypothesis was correct—some must have already been transported inside.
Could they have already been presented to the Sage of Heavenly Mechanism?
Had they arrived too late?
“Any teleportation array found?”
“No on the east side.”
“The west side has been checked.”
Lin Shuang blinked and looked at the communication stone in her hand.
“Tap… tap…”
“Tap tap tap…”
“Tap…”
The contact from the Myriad Monks Sect searching the northern side of the Tiger King’s sleeping quarters sent irregular tapping sounds like Morse code.
Lin Shuang remained silent, drying up inside.
She glanced at the chaotic battle between the Tiger King, his guards, and the Sea Clan and human cultivators in the hunting ground, moving away from the Tribulation battlefield to a safe zone, her lips twitching.
Because of the urgency, they had opted for voice communication!
At a critical moment, the Myriad Monks Sect chose silence meditation, delivering only this coded set…
She couldn’t understand it.
Lin Shuang pressed her forehead. It wouldn’t hurt to type, you know.
But the senior brother from the Myriad Monks Sect responsible for the northern area seemed stubborn, and the tapping sounds became more urgent and intense.
The dog barked as it journeyed alongside them.
Lin Shuang: “…”
She rarely failed in major matters.
Fastest lesson—important matters—must prepare contingency plans in advance!
The Myriad Monks Sect was all silence meditation, impossible to communicate—contingency plan exists.
“Is Senior Brother Zhou available? Senior brother from the Myriad Monks Sect, sorry, please let Senior Brother Zhou take the call.”
Zhou Xuanwu of the Qingshui Sect, a socially anxious person—since the twelve sects’ competition began, he had become obsessed with traveling with the Myriad Monks Sect, seemingly finding paradise in the silence meditation group, forgetting to return home.
As soon as Lin Shuang said this,
The tapping sounds from the other side became lighter.
“Cough, Senior Sister Lin,” Zhou Xuanwu finally took the ‘receiver’, “I’m here.”
“What do the tapping sounds from the senior brother of the Myriad Monks Sect mean?”
Tap tap—
Tap tap tap!
Tap tap!
The tapping continued, as if conveying an important discovery!
Zhou Xuanwu was silent for a moment before finally translating.
“Damn his ancestors!”
“There’s a secret door here, holy crap, hurry in and check it out!”
“His ancestor’s tomb has guards here! They’re Tribulation-level! Send a Tribulation-level dog demon, quick, damn it, I can’t hold on any longer!”
Lin Shuang: “!”
“The tapping is ruined, ruined! Can’t hold on anymore, Tribulation-level dog demon, come on come on! Help me help me!”
“…His ancestor’s grave, there’s a bloody smell here!”
“This isn’t right, there’s someone bad! Damn it, I’m about to break my vow of non-killing!”
“Senior Sister Lin, holy crap, the Myriad Monks Sect and Dog Clan need reinforcements!”
[!]
[…!]
Lin Shuang: “!!!”
Damn it!
One tone of tapping could mean so much!
You’re about to die, why don’t you just speak up!
“All disciples and demons in the palace, head to the north!” Lin Shuang immediately commanded.
Tap tap—
Zhou Xuanwu responded in a low, solemn voice, “Ah! I’ll kill you!”
Tap tap—
“Oh, you can ignore that one,” Zhou Xuanwu apologized, “Senior Sister Lin, pretend you didn’t hear it. That wasn’t directed at you.”
“It was addressed to the Tiger Guards in the cellar of the palace.”
Lin Shuang: “…”
“Such a sin, I’ll send you to the next life!”
“Come on, brothers!”
Zhou Xuanwu’s translation became rapid and passionate.
Lin Shuang couldn’t see the scene, but she felt as if she were there.
As if watching a live broadcast.
“I got him!”
“I saved the missing monster!”
“The next Demon King shouldn’t underestimate the Myriad Monks Sect too much, hehehe—”
“The Myriad Monks Sect finally beat the Baihua Sect, those bookworms, muahaha—”
Zhou Xuanwu’s voice was full of emotion, loud and clear.
[!]
[…]
[Now I understand why the Myriad Monks Sect practices silence meditation…]
[Yes, the Myriad Monks Sect, you did great, but please don’t do it again.]
[Everyone below the Spirit Formation stage should practice silence meditation. I used to oppose it, thinking this technique restricted the disciples’ nature… Well, now, silence meditation is pretty good. Keep practicing, don’t stop, thank you.]
[Wow, is it just me who’s curious how Zhou Xuanwu from Qingshui Sect can understand it?]
[Well, probably because there’s a soul like that inside him too.]
Lin Shuang pressed her forehead deeply.
Only when Zhou Xuanwu reported that they had captured the enemy did she decisively cut off the communication stone.
“Good, proceed as planned.”
Communication ended.
Soon, across the four Tiger cities, Snake Territory, and Bear Clan, those watching the News broadcast today noticed the live footage from the hunting ground switching to the Tiger King’s sleeping quarters.
Hordes of sect disciples and demons from the Dog, Wolf, and Fox Clans swarmed in, uncovering the hidden passage beneath the Tiger King’s palace.
The passage was guarded by the Tiger King’s personal guards, even including a Tribulation-level cultivator, but fortunately, a Fox Clan elder had first seduced him, allowing the human cultivators of the Myriad Monks Sect to escape danger.
Soon, they discovered many half-dead, emaciated young demons in the passage.
The evil spirits who resisted to the end in the passage were mostly the Tiger King’s usual personal guards.
When their bodies were torn apart by the Myriad Monks Sect and the Fox Demon, Heavenly Mechanism Tokens spilled out.
Among the unconscious young demons were members of various tribes, including neutral factions, Lion Clan relatives of the Tiger Clan… and even more from the Dog, Wolf, Fox, and Sea Clan demons…
After rescuing these young demons, the search team promptly summoned the Qingmu Sect of the Eastern human cultivators to treat these tormented little ones.
Many of them hadn’t even opened their eyes, their lives hanging in the balance.
Each fragile form tugged at the heartstrings of countless adult demons.
“Damn it, Tiger King!”
“I’m quitting!”
In the hunting ground, other Tiger Clan guards were originally on duty.
They were preparing to confront the human cultivators and Sea Clan, but now more and more guards were voluntarily dropping their weapons!
“Lock up the Tiger King!”
“Make the Tiger King step down!”
“Tiger Clan—get the hell out!”
The demons of the entire Tiger City and Snake Territory… began to riot.
‘When you sense calamity approaching, will you submit or resist it?’
The words from the game “Ascending to Immortality: Starting from Qi Refining” reverberated in the ears of the demon.
In the hunting ground, Yuan Ya, She Gan, Zong Wei gritted their teeth and advanced toward the Tiger King!
“Dad, we can’t go on like this!”
“Second Uncle, our Snake Clan cannot submit to such a despicable Demon King!”
The Tiger King’s Tribulation body didn’t even require the intervention of the elders from the twelve sects, as it was already encircled by the demon lords who had initially stood behind him.
Beyond the hunting grounds, in the civilian districts, demons of various tribes armed themselves and charged in.
Outside Tiger City, the demon also arrived via teleportation!
“Tiger Xun, damn your ancestors!”
The once mighty Tiger King was instantly engulfed by the fury of the demon.
Lin Shuang wanted to catch a glimpse of his end, but even that opportunity was denied.
When one incurs universal wrath, the judge is no longer an individual or a demon, but the entire world.
“Roar!”
Tiger Xun let out a defiant roar, but soon his injuries worsened, and his aura declined.
“Senior Sister!”
Zhao Kran and others finally rushed into the hunting ground from Rongbaozhai.
“Alright, it’s over.”
Lin Shuang patted her head.
Meng Zi panted, “If I had known, you should have teleported me over too.”
He was anxious.
After entering the hunting ground, he kept looking around.
What a shame, now he couldn’t even get a single hair of the Tiger King.
“Damn it, these monsters don’t share at all, not even a bit!”
The bounty for apprehending the demonic cultivators of the Heavenly Mechanism Sect was substantial in the Annihilation Pavilion.
Especially for a Tribulation-level Tiger King expert, the bounty was astronomical.
Plus the ten million spirit stones offered by the Annihilation Pavilion for the mission of overthrowing the Tiger King.
The more effort he put in, the more rewards he could claim.
But now, he couldn’t even squeeze into the circle eliminating the Tiger King!
Outside, a circle of Tribulation-level demons, followed by Tribulation elders and Annihilation Pavilion assassins…
These Tribulation experts weren’t leaving even a drop of soup for their disciples!
Meng Zi was upset; the golden mountain was right in front of him, yet he couldn’t grab it.
Rushing to Lin Shuang’s side, he gritted his teeth, “Let’s squeeze in!”
“Eradicating evil cultivators is everyone’s duty!”
Lin Shuang: “…”
Not necessarily like that.
She glanced at the nine-tailed fox fur near the combat zone and looked at Meng Zi’s excited expression.
She handed him two teleportation talismans.
“You go yourself.”
“Come back if anything happens.”
Three streets away, just make it up, no worries!
Meng Zi grinned, tore open the teleportation talisman instantly, and vanished like water.
Lin Shuang casually picked up a novel.
Tiger Xun’s furious, resentful howls echoed throughout the hunting ground.
She didn’t watch, but she could sense his aura had already weakened.
He couldn’t escape.
“Nine-tailed Fox——So, you’re still alive!”
While listening to this dramatic ‘narration,’ Lin Shuang flipped open the third volume of the new book from the Baihua Sect, fresh off the press.
“Roar——”
The enraged, powerless Tiger King made Lin Shuang frown, wanting to leave the scene.
But suddenly, she looked up from her book and noticed Zhao Kran was gone.
The entire jungle of the hunting ground had become a desolate mountain.
The young boy from the Snake Clan, the girl from the Tiger Clan—all the players had vanished from her side.
Lin Shuang raised an eyebrow, holding the novel in one hand, calmly closing it.
She gazed toward the distant, roaring, blood-soaked Tiger King—his chest bore a fatal wound, while his left abdomen had a large, round demon core shattered, leaving only half behind, its glow fading.
“Nine-tailed Fox—son of the Nine-tailed Fox, who would have thought, I still missed you back then!”
“That’s right, I killed your mother, and today I will take you with me in death!”
Lin Shuang pressed her forehead.
She looked toward the empty space where all the Tribulation figures had vanished.
Only the frenzied Tiger Xun remained on the barren ground, facing the blood-red silhouette of the Nine-tailed Fox.
Its nine tails flowed and fluffed, each tail seemingly taller than the Tiger King’s body.
But now, the tip of its third blood-red tail still held a person.
“Damn, I’m going to fall… Lin Shuang, why did you draw the teleportation talisman in such a place on him!”
Meng Zi’s face changed.
The Nine-tailed Fox holding onto its tail, with an expressionless fox face, turned around.
With a flick of its tail, it threw Meng Zi to the ground!
—Don’t touch me.
Its fox eyes were filled with disdain.
Meng Zi: “…”
He felt something was off.
“Hey, when Lin Shuang teleported you next to him just now, did you throw her like that too?”
Meng Zi stamped his foot, finally realizing something was wrong.
The severely injured but still capable of one last burst of power Tiger Xun: “???”
No one, not even demons, dared to disrespect him!
He was prepared to slay the sole descendant of the Nine-Tailed Fox before the eyes of all demons and humans.
Let all demons and humans know, when Tiger Xun dies, the Nine-tailed Fox must perish with him!
But this?
His threatening words were interrupted by this foolish human cultivator, utterly losing all intimidation.
So frustrating.
Tiger Xun bared his fangs, “You can scream your lungs out, no demon or human will come to save you.”
“This is my small realm I’ve cultivated for years. Unless I permit it, no one can find or enter!”
He had shattered his demon core but dragged the heir of the former Nine-Tailed Fox King into this realm!
“They can only watch helplessly as the Nine-tailed descendant they followed is killed by me… I’ll kill you just like I killed your mother!”
Tiger Xun narrowed his eyes.
The emotionless black pupils of the Nine-tailed Fox turned toward him, instantly bloodshot, its nine tails wildly expanding.
Without retreating even a step, it charged straight at Tiger Xun!
“I swear, wait for me—” the fearless Meng Zi followed closely behind.
Slap slap slap!
Following it, he pulled out two long swords and swung them fiercely at the nearest snow-white tail of the Nine-tailed Fox.
Tiger Xun watched Meng Zi’s sword qi fiercely attack the Nine-tailed Fox, and he laughed heartily, bending over in glee.
“The Nine-tailed Fox Clan, ancient divine beasts.”
Their demon cores can be used as an eighth-grade medicinal ingredient, while their bones and blood can assist cultivators in breaking through bottlenecks. Legend has it that a human cultivator once stuck at the Tribulation level successfully ascended after consuming an ancient Nine-tailed Fox.
“That’s right, exactly like this!”
He watched Meng Zi’s sword qi relentlessly attack the Nine-tailed Fox, laughing hysterically with joy.
“Although I don’t know how you managed to enter my pocket dimension,” Huangpu Yuan said, “even though I’m severely injured now, I still have the power for one last strike at the Heaven Tribulation level. You, a mere Nascent Soul cultivator, if you want to survive against me, the only way is to drink this nine-tailed fox’s blood right now—it might let you instantly breakthrough to the Late Ascension stage.”
“You might just barely escape death at my hands.”
Hu Xun’s eyes gleamed with a ferocious madness as he stared at Meng Zi. “I’ll give you twelve heartbeats! Kill this nine-tailed fox!”
His gaze shifted toward Lin Shuang, whose blood was still spilling from the edge of the Heaven Tribulation range. “What if I usurped your mother’s position?”
“Look, all cultivators in the world want to kill your kind and drink your blood, using your demon cores—they’re not the only ones!”
“Even without me, you still wouldn’t escape death! I haven’t done anything wrong!”
With that, he instantly lunged toward the nine-tailed fox, his tiger fangs sharply aiming for its neck!
But just as he was about to bite down, he noticed the fox’s body was still growing rapidly.
Late Ascension Third Layer—Fourth Layer—Fifth Layer…!
This human cultivator’s sword qi attacks were actually making the descendant of the nine-tailed fox stronger with every strike!
Was this human cultivator insane?
Stunned, Hu Xun looked up and saw Meng Zi continuously swinging his sword, his face growing paler by the second, while constantly consuming pills.
“Damn it, Lin Shuang, what are you doing? Where are you?”
“I can’t hold on much longer!”
“No human or demon can come in to help—”
Before Hu Xun could finish, he noticed a drop of water suddenly splash from the soft fur on the back of the fox’s neck, right where his fangs were about to land.
More droplets followed, gradually seeping from the fur on the fox’s neck and dripping onto the ground.
In the puddle that formed, a vivid woman’s ethereal figure slowly appeared.
She slowly rose from the clear water’s surface.
“How… is this possible…?”
Hu Xun was shocked.
Was this still his pocket dimension?
Anyone could enter now—what kind of joke was this!
Earlier, Meng Zi had been pulled into Hu Xun’s Heaven Tribulation pocket dimension midway through teleportation, guided by Lin Shuang.
But once they were dragged into the dimension, anyone else attempting to teleport would be blocked by the dimensional rules set by Hu Xun.
Except, there was an exception.
“The sea is all water—actually works pretty well,” Meng Zi gave Lin Shuang a thumbs-up.
Lin Shuang turned around and smiled slightly.
She also patted her soaked skirt, wringing out dripping water.
[The highest cultivation technique of the Clear Water Sect: “All Things Return to Water”—all things in the world are part of water!]
[As long as there’s water on him, she can reach him.]
[…That powerful?]
[No, Elder Shui Qiantan couldn’t enter either. Because the water on the fox’s fur was originally part of her own—it was a fragment she left behind earlier. She followed the mark belonging to him within that droplet of water, tracing it back to this puddle.]
[…You sound so convincing, I’ll believe you for now.]
Hu Xun roared, “Nascent Soul cultivators, both of you humans are Nascent Soul cultivators, yet you dare to enter my pocket dimension! Foolish!”
“You must devour the nine-tailed fox and raise your cultivation to rival mine!”
Lin Shuang nodded. “That’s true.”
Meng Zi hesitated slightly, then nodded too.
“Don’t say such harsh truths out loud; we feel pretty awkward about it.”
Meng Zi sighed and swallowed another pill.
He was still channeling spiritual energy into the fox.
The spiritual energy bestowed by Yue Zhi had been difficult for him to digest before, causing him headaches.
But now, he was expending massive amounts of energy, rapidly depleting himself… as if there was a bottomless pit helping him share the burden of excessive spiritual energy. His headache had eased significantly.
Looking at Hu Xun, he felt like seeing a mountain of gold.
“Yes, I’m doing this for my own sake.”
He inhaled deeply, excited.
He had thought he’d lost the chance for a huge bounty.
After all, the battlefield was meant for Heaven Tribulation cultivators.
But unexpectedly, his opponent had given him an opportunity to make money!
“Um… sorry, Erbao.”
Lin Shuang lowered her head, sighing as she looked into the nine-tailed fox’s crimson eyes.
“I could lie, but I can only deceive others, not myself.”
“Standing here, I’m also here for my own benefit.”
The fox’s eyes fixed on her, unblinking.
Hu Xun laughed heartily. “The nine-tailed fox is destined to be betrayed.”
He couldn’t survive.
He knew better than anyone that the united human and demon forces outside would soon locate his pocket dimension.
He was doomed to die.
But before death, he still wanted to prove himself right.
He was just a bit unlucky.
Not ruthless enough.
He should have wiped them all out back then!
“Who made you ancient divine beasts, born with auspicious signs—”
At the moment of death, Hu Xun wanted to see the nine-tailed fox suffer even more, feel even more desperate.
Some races are born to be prey.
Survival of the fittest—it’s just the way things are.
Hu Xun didn’t think himself despicable.
He looked at Lin Shuang with bloody interest. “What’s your reason for coming here? Your own benefit? Tell me!”
“If I’m in a good mood, I’ll spare your life.”
But as he spoke, he saw Lin Shuang approach the fox’s massive, furry body.
She bent down and lifted one of its blood-stained front paws.
She didn’t know when it had been injured, but bright red blood droplets were seeping from the paw’s white fur, round and full, faintly pulsing with spiritual energy. Up close, one could even smell the faint fragrance of spiritual herbs in the blood.
Lin Shuang couldn’t help but look up, gazing at the fox’s black eyes and its cute little mouth.
“…”
The fox stared at her, its black pupils reflecting her vivid features.
And the expression on her face, unspoken yet clearly written: ‘No wonder you’re targeted.’
The fox twitched its mouth.
Its blood droplets dripped onto the weeds inside the isolated pocket dimension.
Almost instantly, visible to the naked eye, the herb sprouted from the soil, glowing bright green, like a sacred treasure.
“Raised one tier…”
Meng Zi sucked in a breath.
“Even ordinary grass became first-tier.”
“Kid, you have this effect and didn’t tell me earlier?!”
“…”
The fox closed its black eyes.
It seemed to give up, its expression clearly saying ‘you’re all idiots.’
Let them do as they pleased.
Hu Xun sneered as he watched, eager to imprint the image of the fox’s soon-to-be-drained flesh into his final memories.
He didn’t want to miss a second.
But Lin Shuang pinched the warm little paw, squeezing out three or four more blood droplets from its wound.
“We break through to Ascension, and you’ll let us go?”
Hu Xun laughed. “Yes.”
He only had the strength for one last strike.
He was confident he could severely wound an Ascension cultivator, but not necessarily kill them.
Humans always had many life-saving tricks.
But then he saw Lin Shuang nodding, taking out a seal from her spatial pouch, dipping it in the blood droplets squeezed from the fox’s paw, and stamping it onto the snow-white short fur of its paw.
Hu Xun: “?”
Instantly, the nine-tailed fox in front of him seemed to gather spiritual energy, rapidly absorbing the world’s energy within the pocket dimension.
Holding the fox’s front paw, Lin Shuang took the small seal and quickly stamped it on both sides of the fox’s face, all four paws—anywhere the fur was short…
Gathering Spirit Talisman;
Gathering Spirit Talisman;
Gathering Spirit Talisman…
These weren’t even third-tier Gathering Spirit Talismans, but fifth-tier ones filled with intense power!
Stained with the blood of an ancient divine beast, over a dozen varying-depth fifth-tier Gathering Spirit Talismans rapidly stacked onto its body!
Nine-tailed fox: Early Ascension → Late Ascension Peak!
Meng Zi stared wide-eyed. “Lin Shuang, what are you waiting for? Stamp me too!”
Lin Shuang had already stamped her own face and hands.
Hearing him, she tossed the seal back to him!
Fifth-tier Gathering Spirit Talisman: continuously replenishes spiritual energy until the talisman pattern is completely worn out.
Drawing fifth-tier talismans was far more strenuous than third-tier ones.
The talisman patterns were complex, and required high-level Nascent Soul cultivator’s spiritual consciousness… Previously, Lin Shuang had tried to draw them, managing only a third each time, needing three attempts to complete one.
But now she had improved!
With three large seals and twelve pre-prepared fifth-tier Gathering Spirit Talisman tattoo stickers, Lin Shuang rapidly charged the fox, herself, and Meng Zi!
Meng Zi did the same!
[…]
[!]
“Quick Learning Improvement Tools—when facing difficulties, don’t be afraid. Review what happened; maybe before you improve yourself, you can first use some tools!”
Zhao Keran’s voice excitedly echoed from the projection.
[!]
“I knew it. Since my senior sister failed to draw a fifth-tier talisman last time, she must have reflected deeply and found a solution.”
“The solution was surprisingly simple.”
“If you can’t draw the entire talisman at once, have a Heaven Tribulation elder carve a fifth-tier talisman seal in advance. Every time my senior sister just needs to dip in cinnabar and stamp it onto the talisman paper.”
[……………]
[???]
“The seal talisman can be used a hundred times.”
“The tattoo sticker talisman can last five to ten days without washing…”
Zhao Keran explained, “Senior sister, you should have known this would happen. This tiger demon’s Heaven Tribulation pocket dimension rejects other Heaven Tribulation cultivators from entering, and their magical artifacts and lethal techniques… but it can’t stop seals and talismanic sticker charms.”
“Because when they brought them in, they were only semi-finished products!”
[…Understood.]
[Seals… fine, I admit defeat.]
[Tattoo stickers! Wow!]
Inside the pocket dimension, Hu Xun was stunned, watching as the spiritual energy within his Heaven Tribulation pocket dimension was being drained madly by the fox and the two humans!
The swords in their hands all emitted sword qi that forced him to take them seriously!
“Massive enhancement doesn’t only come from one method.”
Lin Shuang put away the seal.
She dragged a sword exceeding her own capacity at the Ascension level.
“Let me show you another way!”
The nine-tailed fox’s paws and tail fur radiated the power of Late Ascension Peak, its entire body covered in crimson Gathering Spirit talisman patterns.
It lowered its head to look at her, its black eyes flickering.
Massive enhancement… another way, not through devouring the other.
But through cooperation.
Devouring only gives temporary power, ending at the other’s current strength.
But cooperation can last forever.
Cooperation has no limits.
As the other party grows stronger, you grow stronger too.
Obstacles and difficulties are insignificant past moments destined to be surpassed by ever-strengthening beings.
Meng Zi, sweating profusely, dragged his long sword, grabbing a fox tail.
Lin Shuang, dragging her sword with a ‘zhi la la’ sound, wobbled as she climbed onto the fox’s back. “Come on, Erbao.”
Fox: “…”
“Just let me show you—our new combined move!”
“Tattoo Sticker Seal Recharge—White Hair Forty-Two Wall Gang Qi Ball Spray Self-Reinforced Sword Chain!”
[…]
[Wait, this name… could it be…]
As the projection text appeared, the three launched their combined attack!
Instantly generated!
Ultra-fast rolling water—speed!
Giant water ball—defense!
Continuously lashing sword chains—attack!
With a thunderous boom, it hurtled toward Hu Xun, who had just one final strike remaining!
Pu—
Soon, the sound of spitting blood echoed within the pocket dimension.
Instantly, Heaven Tribulation Tiger cultivator lowered his head, touching his lips.
He grinned.
His hands were clean.
But facing him were three severely injured figures, knocked down and bleeding from the impact of his Heaven Tribulation attack.
“Foolish! Even with your combined attack, you can barely match an Ascension opponent…”
But halfway through his sentence, Hu Xun saw Lin Shuang, covering her chest, crawl up and tremblingly offer half a large pill still radiating sun and moon light to the exhausted, blood-covered fox.
This round pill was large and bright.
It also emanated the majestic aura of the Heavenly Tribulation’s demonic energy.
It looked very familiar!
Hu Xun: “!”
He looked down in shock at his soaked chest…
Wait, where was half of his demonic core?!
[!]
[Lin Shuang: Taste my move ‘Tattoo Sticker Seal Recharge—White Hair Forty-Two Wall Gang Qi Ball Spray Self-Reinforced Sword Chain’… also known as, Dragon Sucking Water Sword!]
[…]
“Quick, swallow it, Erbao.”
Lin Shuang forcibly pressed the snowy, sharp fox fangs, stuffing the pill into its mouth.
“An eye for an eye never ends. Eating wild animals is wrong, but eating pills is fine.”
Hu Xun: “!”
He staggered backward, darkness engulfing his vision, collapsing with a thunderous crash!
The pocket dimension sustained by his Heaven Tribulation instantly collapsed as he lost connection to his demonic core!
