White Tiger Lineage Master
In the dimly lit space, Yang Tianyou looked at the White Tiger Lineage Master in front of him, raised his right hand, and held the Twin Blades in his palm.
"The assessment begins!"
Thump!!
Two loud explosions erupted simultaneously. The White Tiger Lineage is most skilled in killing, and almost all the White Tiger Lineage Master throughout the ages have been cultivators of the War God Way, with half of them even following the path of Blade Cultivator, making them extremely proficient in close combat.
Clang!!
The two blades clashed, producing a piercing screech and sparks flying everywhere. Two pairs of equally sharp and domineering eyes met in mid-air, as if sparks were flying.
Yang Tianyou exerted force with both hands, causing muscles that looked like intertwined steel wires to bulge out. Pure and abundant Qi and Blood surged within his body, greatly increasing his physical strength and his striking power.
With a bang, the White Tiger Lineage Master opposite was sent flying, his body crashing through the air with a deafening explosion.
"His Fleshly Body strength has actually increased so much..." Yang Tianyou murmured.
He had only felt that his physical strength had become much stronger after the Great White Saint Body was refined, but he did not have a clear standard for judging it.
Now, having clashed with the White Tiger Lineage Master, who possesses extremely strong combat power of the same level, he realized just how terrifying his physical strength truly is.
This is still under the condition that the White Emperor Indestructible Body has not yet broken through to the Upper Divine Ability. It is estimated that within five years, his Star Dao and Metal Element Dao will break through one after another. At that time, the White Emperor Indestructible Body will directly skip the entry and Minor Achievement of the First Heaven of the upper-level divine power and advance to the Great Achievement realm.
Yang Tianyou's physical strength will also undergo an exaggerated Bloodline Metamorphosis.
Under his deliberate suppression, the two Dao of Heaven and Earth and Metal Element, remained in a state of parallel progress, allowing the White Emperor Indestructible Body to accumulate more power.
Over the decades, through countless trials by Gang Wind and Thunder, and by replenishing its foundation with precious Spirit Items, the White Emperor Indestructible Body has become incredibly robust, far surpassing other body-refining Divine Ability of the same level.
Now that his physical strength had been tested, Yang Tianyou no longer chose close combat, but instead unleashed a horizontal slash.
"Great White Heavenly Blade!"
Clang!!
A clear, resonant Blade Cry echoed through the dim space, and an exceptionally sharp sword aura surged forth from the Twin Blades, instantly condensing into a hundred-foot-long sea of blades.
Immediately afterwards, the dense array of sword energy began to converge, eventually forming a domineering longsword several tens of feet long, seemingly forged from gold and iron.
This giant longsword is exactly the same as the Twin Blades, with a tiger tail as the hilt and a tiger head that opens to spew out a gleaming blade tip. Its aura is incredibly sharp and its power is extremely domineering.
The Heavenly Blade descended from the sky, and a blurry, divine figure appeared at the hilt, exuding a cold and murderous aura.
A terrifying aura of slaughter enveloped the dim space. The White Tiger Lineage Master opposite him remained indifferent, driven only by his fighting instincts, devoid of any real consciousness.
Even so, the sense of danger, like a thorn in his back, prompted the battle-hardened White Tiger Lineage Master to react instantly.
Aww!!
A domineering tiger's roar echoed within the space, stirring up layers of Spiritual Qi. A White Tiger Divine Beast with wings on its back leaped out from the longsword of the White Tiger Lineage Master, roaring repeatedly, and a hazy world appeared behind it.
A blazing blade of light appeared, and the hazy world materialized before collapsing!
The world collapsed, transforming into the most terrifying Power of Annihilation, which was then condensed by the White Tiger Lineage Master into a dark blade of light that swept across the sky and collided with the Great White Heavenly Blade.
Boom!!
A violent explosion occurred at the point of impact, and the Spiritual Qi energy surged violently like a mighty river, turbulent and surging through the sky.
Shockwaves swept outwards, transforming into howling winds that ruffled Yang Tianyou's hair, while his body remained as immovable as an ancient, unshakeable mountain.
Bang!!
Conversely, the White Tiger Lineage Master was sent flying backward by this strike, his body splitting open with numerous cuts, blood gushing out but quickly dissipating as Spiritual Qi.
As his cultivation level increased, Yang Tianyou's ability to challenge opponents of higher levels remained undiminished.
This is largely due to his profound understanding of the Dao of Heaven and Earth.
Some cultivators can easily challenge opponents of higher levels when they are at lower levels, but they gradually become mediocre when they reach higher levels.
Or rather, this isn't mediocrity, but rather that everyone is so excellent that it's impossible to stand out from the crowd.
However, Yang Tianyou always made great strides forward, and his understanding of the Dao of Heaven and Earth and Earth was always two to three levels higher than that of other cultivators.
As he progressed into the Late Stages of his cultivation, the importance of the Dao of Heaven and Earth became increasingly prominent, and his combat strength among those of the same level actually increased rather than decreased.
For example, his Great White Blade Momentum has already progressed far into the Great Achievement Completion stage, and it won't be long before he reaches the Perfection stage.
However, it is important to understand that most cultivators in the Spirit Transformation Early Stage have only achieved Minor Achievement level of comprehension of the Dao of Heaven and Earth.
Even worse, some are still at the beginner level.
Although these cultivators were also at the Spirit Transformation Early Stage, they probably wouldn't last more than a few moves against Yang Tianyou, and it wouldn't be surprising if they were even instantly killed.
The White Tiger Lineage Master was certainly not weak; he could easily defeat ordinary Middle Stage of Spirit Transformation cultivators. However, in the clash of Divine Ability, he was easily injured by Yang Tianyou.
This gave Yang Tianyou a basic understanding of his own combat strength.
He has firmly established himself at the Spirit Transformation Late Stage. As for whether he is in the upper or lower range within this level, that's hard to say.
Based solely on their own combat strength, they should be in the upper-middle tier.
However, if other factors are added, the changes can be significant. Yang Tianyou has too many trump cards; once they are unleashed, he can even kill Spirit Transformation Great Perfection expert.
"Am I already this strong?" Yang Tianyou glanced at the White Tiger Lineage Master, who was charging towards him again with his sword drawn, and a deep smile flashed in his eyes.
The power returns to oneself, and one feels oneself growing stronger little by little. This exhilarating feeling is undoubtedly the greatest enjoyment in the world, and it's no wonder that so many people pursue power.
After a cup of tea, accompanied by a clear and melodious Blade Cry, countless platinum sword energies engulfed the White Tiger Lineage Master, completely crushing his already battered body.
"You... are qualified!" With just these words, the White Tiger Lineage Master's body suddenly disintegrated and vanished without a trace.
Buzz!!
The Array Mark swirled and transformed into an invisible giant hand, sending Yang Tianyou out of the Four Symbols Tower.
Just as I was feeling dazed, the Guardian Deity General a gentle voice into my ear, "Congratulations, you have become the new White Tiger Lineage Master!"
