The Mountain Lord Evolves, Bai Suzhen Returns
The Mountain Lord, used as a footrest by Gao Yunyi, remained obediently prostrate in place.
After witnessing firsthand how that towering pillar of light annihilated the Gu God, pierced through dense forests, and tore apart mountains,
It never let out another growl, nor did it move an inch.
It was as if every hair on his body was conveying a message to Gao Yunyi.
Tiger, I am very well-behaved, gentle, obedient, and kind.
Please don't kill me, Tiger.
Seeing its subservient and groveling appearance, Gao Yunyi couldn't help but smile faintly.
Just as the Mountain Lord was trembling with fear,
A green Pill suddenly rolled down in front of it.
"Have eaten."
At the same time, an unyielding, indifferent voice entered its ears.
Upon hearing this,
Without hesitation, Mountain Lord licked the Pill in front of him into his mouth, while looking up at Gao Yunyi with a fawning and submissive expression.
But soon,
The obsequious expression on its tiger face vanished, replaced by terror and pain.
A sharp pain rose from my abdomen and instantly spread throughout my body.
The excruciating pain of having its Five Viscera Burning and its tendons and bones torn apart caused its massive tiger body to arch violently, letting out an uncontrollable, shrill roar. Every hair on its body stood on end, and its muscles convulsed and trembled uncontrollably.
It thought Gao Yunyi wanted to kill it.
So his eyes were filled with pleading and fear, his huge tiger head trembled incessantly, and he whimpered softly, trying to beg for mercy.
But Gao Yunyi's eyes showed no pity or emotion.
It dared not charge at Gao Yunyi, and could only let the violent medicinal power rampage through its body, causing its massive tiger body to convulse.
Green Flames burned on its tiger body.
It scorched its silky fur until it became curly and brittle.
The Mountain Lord was in despair.
Its massive body curled up, ceasing its struggle, as if it had given up on fighting and resisting, helplessly lying on the ground with its eyes closed, awaiting death.
But soon,
It sensed something was wrong again.
He thought the emerald flames would burn him to ashes, but the burning sensation remained on his skin, and a surge of vitality seeped into his bones through the flames.
Then the Mountain Lord tiger suddenly opened its eyes, and a glimmer of hope for survival suddenly burst forth in them.
Its originally glossy black fur fell off in large clumps under the continuous tempering of the Green Flames, revealing the newly grown skin and flesh underneath.
Fine black hairs slowly emerged from the ground on the skin, starting as just a few scattered strands, but soon spreading all over the body like a tide.
The vibrant colors fade, and new blackness emerges.
In a short while, the Mountain Lord that once dominated the Hundred Thousand Mountains had completely changed its fur to jet black, with a faint jade-like luster.
The tiger's body outline also changed, its muscles and bones were reshaped by the medicine, and its body became more powerful than before. The ferocity in its eyes faded, replaced by a touch of intelligence.
It looked down at its black paws, shook its head slightly, and let out a low but no longer violent roar.
The fierce tiger is gone; now it is a true Mountain Lord, entirely black.
After a Nirvana Rebirth
Unlike the Maybach Crane before it, this Black Tiger did not roar arrogantly to the sky, announcing its arrival to the world.
Instead, it suppressed its newly born imposing aura, lowered its huge tiger head, and quietly lay at Gao Yunyi's feet, a gentle whimper escaping its throat.
They express their respect and submission with the most devout posture among animals.
Gao Yunyi glanced at it indifferently, then lightly flicked his sleeve.
"Hold head high--"
As a snow-white dragon shadow shot out from the sleeve, spiraling and rising, its scales unfurling, a deafening dragon roar, carrying immense Dragon Might, instantly enveloped the entire abyss.
The Mountain Lord beneath his feet stiffened, quickly lowering its head even further, its massive body tensing slightly, not daring to look directly at the Divine Dragon dancing in the air.
It could sense that the other party was far superior to it in both bloodline and strength, so it immediately bowed its head to show respect.
The moment the white dragon, several tens of feet long, revealed its true form in the air, a sudden gust of wind surged, and a vast pressure swept down, causing the hundreds of thousands of Gu Corpses on the plaza to tremble.
The only one unaffected in the Beast God Abyss was Gao Yunyi.
His gaze towards White Flood Dragon was filled with tenderness and doting affection.
And this was precisely what Ma Yi had never experienced from him before.
Ma Yi stood not far behind Gao Yunyi.
Looking at the tenderness and doting in the young master's eyes, and then looking up at the magnificent White Flood Dragon's true form in the sky, its scales shimmering.
Her pale face was expressionless, but a fleeting hint of jealousy and resentment flashed across her lifeless eyes.
The enormous White Flood Dragon slowly retracted its coiled form, and the raging winds gradually subsided.
The White Flood Dragon's body, stretching for tens of feet, slowly sank into the air. Its massive head lowered gently, and its originally cold and narrow vertical pupils softened, staring intently at Gao Yunyi.
After a full year, it neither roared nor made a sound.
It simply swayed its long tail slowly, and layers of air currents rippled around its body. The enormous dragon head approached little by little, cautiously, as if afraid of disturbing the person in front of it.
Gao Yunyi slowly raised his palm.
But this familiar gesture brought tears to White Flood Dragon's eyes.
The White Flood Dragon's body, several tens of feet long, trembled slightly, and its narrow, vertical pupils were covered with a layer of watery light.
The enormous head lowered even further, gently pressing its forehead against his palm, the scales rubbing against each other in a tender, docile motion.
The dragon's mighty Dragon Might completely subsided, and its enormous body quietly lay down on the high platform, as if all its emotions were hidden in this unspoken intimacy.
Ma Yi stood quietly behind, her head bowed and hands at her sides. Her pale face remained expressionless, but the jealousy and resentment in her empty eyes had deepened.
"Long time no see, Xiaobai."
Gao Yunyi stroked Bai Suzhen's cool, smooth, silvery-white scales with his palm, his eyes filled with undisguised affection and doting.
Bai Suzhen was the same.
The only thing reflected in their eyes was their master.
The enormous dragon's body trembled slightly, its vertical pupils shimmering with water, its massive head resting obediently in his palm, its long tail gently encircling its side, as if to tightly protect its master in its embrace.
Gao Yunyi understood what the other party meant.
Bai Suzhen didn't want to be like she was a year ago, unable to protect him, unable to stay by his side, only trapped in the Spirit Beast Pen, watching helplessly as her master faced danger alone.
As a result, Gao Yunyi's fondness for it grew even stronger than before.
"Curl up, I want to sit."
Gao Yunyi whispered something in Bai Suzhen's ear.
Bai Suzhen understood instantly.
It immediately coiled up its slender dragon body, layer upon layer of silvery-white scales, transforming into a huge, jade-like Divine Throne.
Gao Yunyi lifted his foot and calmly stepped onto the dragon's body, sitting peacefully on the Divine Throne formed by the White Flood Dragon.
"Comfortable."
Gao Yunyi sighed inwardly.
That's all,
Gao Yunyi sat firmly on the luminous white Divine Throne formed by the coiled White Flood Dragon.
Before the throne lay a black Black Tiger, its fur gleaming, its head pressed to the ground, its body poised in awe, its imposing aura subtly emanating from it, serving as its master's most loyal guardian, Jingjing standing watch beneath the Divine Throne.
As the gaze stretched forward, the Beast God Abyss Plaza stretched as far as the eye could see. Hundreds of thousands of Gu Corpses stood densely packed and silent like a forest, their pale gray and lifeless faces turned toward the Divine Throne. The aura of Corpse Sha permeated the air, converging into an endless torrent of deathly silence.
A mountain breeze swept across the Beast God Abyss, fluttering Gao Yunyi's robes. He sat upright on it, calm and composed, as if he were the master of this world.
