Fierce Tiger Devours Wolf God

A pillar of bloody light tore through the sky, carrying a savage aura that could destroy everything, and instantly descended upon Chen Qing's head! Below, eight Wolf God Guards rampaged within the military formation, screams and roars intertwining, the Northern Expeditionary Army's defense line teetering on the brink!

Facing this inescapable trap of being attacked from above and below, Chen Qing's eyes, far from showing panic, instead flashed with a trace of almost frenzied fervor.

"Excellent!"

He let out a long roar, not dodging the bloody light pillar at all. The Fierce Tiger Domain, five zhang around him, abruptly contracted inwards. No longer pursuing the breadth of its range, it condensed all its killing intent and annihilation true intent onto the area before him, forming a constantly rotating shield of a domain, interwoven with dark red and deep blue!

At the same time, he divided his attention. His powerful soul force, like invisible tentacles, instantly connected with the military formation's malevolent energy below!

"Formation, rise!"

Following his command, the Northern Expeditionary Army below, which had become somewhat chaotic due to the Wolf God Guards' rampage, seemed to find its backbone. All the soldiers, as if divinely inspired, subconsciously followed their usual drills, pouring their own vital energy and killing intent madly into the formation!

Boom!

A surge of military formation sha qi, far more condensed and potent than before, shot up into the sky. Though mixed, it carried the unyielding will of fifty thousand fierce soldiers, like an invisible giant hammer, fiercely smashing towards the eight rampaging Wolf God Guards!

The eight Wolf God Guards were caught off guard. Hit by this condensed military formation's malevolent aura, their movements immediately faltered, their violent aura suppressed by several degrees!

And in this flash of lightning and thunder!

The bloody light pillar in the sky had already fiercely struck Chen Qing's condensed domain shield!

Screech--!!!

No explosion, only a grating, intense corrosive sound, like cold water dropped into boiling oil! The bloody light and the deep blue ethereal light fiercely clashed, annihilating each other! The domain shield vibrated violently, cracks appearing on its surface, as if it might collapse at any moment!

Chen Qing's body trembled violently, a trickle of blood seeping from the corner of his mouth, but the light in his eyes grew even more terrifying!

He was actually using the vast and pure savage energy contained within the bloody light pillar to temper and impact his Fierce Tiger Domain, even... attempting to devour it!

"Give me... devour!"

He roared, circulating the Fierce Tiger Iron Body to an unprecedented extreme. The mastery he had achieved allowed his control over the malevolent energy to reach a completely new level! A powerful suction force suddenly generated at the center of the constantly rotating domain shield. No longer defensive, it actively pulled, tore apart the bloody light pillar, and forcibly drew the savage energy within into the domain!

[Received powerful energy impact, Fierce Tiger Iron Body proficiency +1000!]
[Attempting to devour foreign energy, Fierce Tiger Domain violently shakes, domain structure optimizing...]

Agony! It felt as if his entire soul was being torn apart! The bloody energy was incredibly violent and full of repulsion, madly impacting Chen Qing's domain and meridians!

But he firmly held his mind, using the domineering will of the Black Tiger True Intent, which suppressed all directions, as the core to forcibly control this violent process! Under the impact and devouring of the bloody energy, the Fierce Tiger Domain became increasingly condensed. The dark red and deep blue colors also became more profound, even faintly adding a trace of imperceptible... dark gold!

"What?! You dare..." The Wolf God Guard leader was both shocked and enraged. He felt that the attack he and the Wolf God Totem had jointly launched was having its energy rapidly devoured by the opponent! This was simply unheard of!

He wanted to withdraw the light pillar but found himself firmly stuck by a powerful suction force, unable to break free for a moment!

And below, the eight Wolf God Guards were temporarily suppressed by the military formation's killing intent. Though still fierce, they could no longer slaughter wantonly as before. Old Niu, Sun Quezi, and others seized the opportunity, leading elites to desperately hold them back, the battle falling into a stalemate.

As one side waned, the other waxed!

Chen Qing's aura, during the process of devouring the bloody energy, did not weaken but instead climbed at an astonishing speed! His recently broken through early stage Aperture Opening Realm cultivation was rapidly stabilizing and steadily advancing towards the middle stage!

"Impossible! How can you profane the power of the Wolf God!" The Wolf God Guard leader went completely mad. He bit the tip of his tongue, spitting a mouthful of vital blood into the air. The spectral image of the bloody wolf let out a sky-shattering roar, its size expanding again, the power of the bloody light pillar suddenly doubling!

He was determined to kill Chen Qing at all costs!

However, the more he increased the energy output, the faster Chen Qing's devouring speed became! The Fierce Tiger Domain was like a bottomless pit, madly absorbing this "nourishment" that was delivered to its doorstep!

Crack... Crack...

The domain shield before Chen Qing finally couldn't withstand the internal and external attacks and completely shattered! But the bloody light pillar also simultaneously became slender and dim!

The moment the domain shield shattered, a sharp glint shot from Chen Qing's eyes. The killing move he had been holding back was unleashed again!

He opened his mouth abruptly!

This time, it was no longer a silent ripple.

A sound wave, condensed to substance, dark red entwined with strands of gold, like a tiger's roar from the deepest abyss, erupted ferociously!

Advanced version - Fierce Tiger Roar!

Roar--!

As the sound wave passed, space itself seemed to freeze! The bloody light pillar, which had already become slender, under this tiger's roar, which contained killing intent, annihilation, and a trace of the newly born characteristic of devouring, shattered into pieces like fragile glass, annihilating itself!

The sound wave's momentum did not decrease, directly blasting into the interior of the spectral image of the bloody wolf!

Awooo--!

The bloody wolf let out an incredibly mournful howl. Its massive spectral image twisted and blurred violently, as if it might dissipate at any moment! The Wolf God Guard leader, connected to its aura, was like he had suffered a heavy blow. His face instantly turned as pale as paper, and blood gushed from his seven orifices as if it were free!

[Executed advanced 'Fierce Tiger Roar', heavily damaged Wolf God Totem, Fierce Tiger Iron Body proficiency +1500! Mental power consumed 30%!]
[Devoured large amounts of pure savage energy, cultivation increased, approaching Aperture Opening Realm middle stage!]

Chen Qing pressed his advantage, not letting up. He stomped on the void beneath his feet, his figure appearing before the tottering Wolf God Guard leader like a phantom. He opened his right hand, deep blue Annihilation Fiery Demon burning fiercely, like the Grim Reaper's claw, and fiercely grabbed towards the opponent's head!

"Wolf God... is eternal..." A trace of despair and madness flashed in the leader's eyes as he attempted to detonate the Wolf God bloodline within his body.

But Chen Qing was faster!

Squelch!

His five fingers, like red-hot brand irons, penetrated his head without obstruction. The Annihilation Fiery Demon instantly erupted, freezing and annihilating all his life force and soul!

[Killed Wolf God Guard leader (Aperture Opening Realm middle stage), obtained massive vital energy and pure savage energy, Fierce Tiger Iron Body proficiency +3000! Cultivation broke through to Aperture Opening Realm middle stage!]

[Fierce Tiger Domain quality has improved, range expanded to eight zhang, initially integrating the 'Devour' characteristic!]

An unimaginable surge of energy instantly poured into his body! Chen Qing felt every acupoint within him hum and tremble, his cultivation breaking through the bottleneck as naturally as water flowing, stepping into the mid-stage of the Aperture Opening Realm! The Fierce Tiger Domain expanded once more, and now possessed a domineering characteristic that plundered and devoured external energy!

He slowly withdrew his hand, the corpse of the Wolf God Guard leader falling from the air like a broken doll.

He turned his head, his icy gaze falling upon the eight Wolf God Guards below, who were now stunned and suffering backlash as their leader's death caused their Wolf God Totem to dissipate.

"Your turn."
