Chapter 668: Chapter 671 Divine Temple of the True Monarch [2nd Update]
"Three!"
"Two!"
"One!"
Wu Tian counted down, but not a single tiger obediently committed suicide. This displeased him, and he chuckled, "Do you perhaps prefer a fate worse than death?"
The strongest tiger clenched his teeth and huffed, "What’s this ’worse than death’? I don’t believe it."
The other male tigers nodded in agreement. They exchanged glances and then simultaneously pounced toward Wu Tian.
Wu Tian shook his head. At the same time, streaks of Blood Glow slashed out from his body.
"What?"
The tigers were astonished. The Blood Glow was too fast; they had no idea how to dodge. In an instant, streams of crimson blood splattered! The Blood Glow darted back and forth, slicing the flesh from their bodies. Their white bones became visible.
The tigers immediately let out piercing, mournful screams, their sorrowful cries echoing incessantly.
These male tigers were all above the Tongxuan Realm. Since they were not of the Human Clan, they naturally lacked Tongxuan phenomena, but their bones were as hard as steel. In the Tiger Clan, if one ascended above the Heavenly King Realm, their fur would begin to turn white. The stronger they became, the whiter their fur, with the possibility of achieving a Return to Purity and Simplicity and transforming into the Divine Beast, the White Tiger. This was the path to becoming an Acquired White Tiger, wielder of the Force of the Overwhelming Gold. But at this moment, that was irrelevant to them.
Under the Blood Glow, they could only be slaughtered. With each strike, flesh was flayed off. With another slash, sinews and organs were ripped out.
A fate worse than death!
Amidst desperate, tragic screams, they died miserably, enduring excruciating pain to the very end. Had they known this would be their fate, they would have preferred suicide.
After doing all this, Wu Tian’s handsome face remained impassive, as if he had just wiped out a group of ants—an act not worth mentioning. He then turned to Bai Ya, his voice chilling and eerie. "I will impart a skill to you. From now on, you are the guardian tiger of the Xiuyuan Realm."
Wu Tian searched the Heavenly Emperor’s Treasure House and instantly found the legacy of the Immortal of Tiger Power. As expected, the more worthless something is, the easier it is to find. With a point of his finger, a ray of light entered Bai Ya’s mind.
"What is this..."
Something new had suddenly appeared in his mind. Bai Ya was stunned at first, but when he realized what it was, he was ecstatic. He immediately began to kowtow to Wu Tian.
"This grace of rebirth... this grace of rebirth... this grace of rebirth..."
The foolish tiger could only repeat those four words.
「At daybreak」
The news of the Tiger Clan’s annihilation spread across the Xiuyuan Realm like a hurricane. The leader of the Tiger Clan—a Ninth Grade Tongxuan warrior who was arguably the second-strongest expert in the realm—was dead. And the killer was still unknown.
Someone who ventured up to the Tiger Clan’s hill was shocked by the sight. In the deep pits, blood flowed like rivers, and bones were piled up like mountains. Not a single tiger’s body was intact. All had been brutally mutilated, their flesh completely flayed away.
When Si’er of Xiuyuan Country heard this news, she too was shocked. She couldn’t help but think of Wu Tian. To think that because a tigress failed to kidnap Qin Yuhan, an enraged Wu Tian would exterminate the entire Tiger Clan.
Si’er didn’t find it cruel. On the contrary, she thought Wu Tian was commendable and that Qin Yuhan was very fortunate. After court was dismissed, she went to ask Qin Yuhan about it.
Qin Yuhan treated Si’er like a little sister and naturally told her everything that had happened the previous night. Si’er nodded repeatedly, but her curiosity about the Sect Leader’s origins grew even stronger.
"Sister, what do you think Big Brother was like before?"
"This..." Si’er’s question struck a chord with Qin Yuhan. She too was wondering who her husband really was. She had just arrived in the Immortal Emperor Realm and wasn’t yet acclimated. But Wu Tian was different. Qin Yuhan could tell that he seemed very familiar with this world. When he handled matters, he was extremely decisive and ruthless. Qin Yuhan also had a knot of confusion in her heart regarding Wu Tian.
"Where is the Sect Leader now?" Si’er asked.
"In his pavilion," Qin Yuhan replied.
"Let’s go find him."
Qin Yuhan, holding the little one, went with Si’er to find Wu Tian. Normally, one would knock on the door, but this time, they decided against it. Every time they knocked, it would take a while for Wu Tian to open the door, and they had no idea what he was doing inside that took so long. Once might have been a coincidence. But when it happened a second, third, and fourth time, always requiring a wait before Wu Tian responded, it became strange.
"He’s keeping a pretty lady in a golden house!" the little one piped up cheekily from Qin Yuhan’s arms.
How could that be possible? Qin Yuhan and Si’er didn’t believe it. That wasn’t the impression Wu Tian gave them at all.
"Let’s not knock and just go in. We’ll see what happens," Si’er said with a smile.
Qin Yuhan nodded.
And so, they entered Wu Tian’s room, but he wasn’t there.
"Strange, where’s the Sect Leader?" Si’er frowned.
Qin Yuhan was also frustrated. "He should be in his pavilion. Where could he have gone?"
「At that moment, Wu Tian was in the Heavenly Emperor’s Treasure House」
He had finally found the Judicial Heavenly God’s Divine Temple. There, a stone dog awaited the blood of a Phoenix. With the blood, the stone would recede, and the Dog Immortal within would be revived. This dog was, naturally, the Barks-at-Heaven Dog.
Wu Tian entered the Divine Temple. Inside, he also found other legacies, including that of the Seven Freaks of Mei Mountain. He also saw a dust-covered, green Precious Lotus Lantern lying on the ground. It was wickless and seemed on its last breath. Beside it lay a Three-point Double-edged Spear, completely devoid of Spiritual Energy.
Where is the Heavenly Eye? Where could it be?
Wu Tian continued his search.
The Divine Temple had a cold color palette and felt very desolate. It was only on the headboard of a bed in one of the bedchambers that he found something unusual. It wasn’t a legacy, but words of self-motivation carved into the wood.
"You must persevere."
"You must be ruthless, Yang Jian. You must be ruthless."
"If your heart is not ruthless, he will be weak. And a weak person cannot create new heavenly laws."
Each word was filled with unwavering determination. They seemed not to have been etched with Mana, but clawed out by hand, with each character still bearing traces of blood.
This Yang Jian must have been truly weary of heart.
Just as he was about to continue searching for the Heavenly Eye, his Spiritual Sense detected a disturbance outside the Nine Dragon Ring.
Are they looking for me? Wu Tian furrowed his brow, suddenly finding it rather amusing. I’m inside the Nine Dragon Ring. They’ll never be able to find me.
「Outside the Nine Dragon Ring」
"He’s definitely in this room," Qin Yuhan asserted. "Now, let’s find him."
Si’er chuckled proudly. "This is just like hide-and-seek! Fun! I’m really good at finding people." With that, she began to search diligently.
The little one chimed in, "Let’s make it a competition to see who finds him first!"
Qin Yuhan nodded in agreement, equally eager to find Wu Tian first.
