Arrival at the Heavenly Demonic Tiger Clan
The Heavenly Demonic Tiger Clan resides in the southern part of the Central Region of the Demon Domain, also known as the Heavenly Demon Domain.
As one of the Eight Royal Clans, the Heavenly Demonic Tiger Clan enjoys undisputed hegemony over an area spanning tens of thousands of miles, with dozens of the Minor Clan serving as their masters.
Deep within the Heavenly Demon Domain lies a vast expanse of the Heavenly Demon Mountains, stretching for thousands of miles. Countless towering peaks of varying shapes rise from the ground, while the roars and battle cries of various tiger-like Demonic Beast never cease.
The Heavenly Demonic Tiger Clan, along with the Dark Abyss Tiger Clan Earth-Shaking Thunder Tiger Clan, are known as the Great Clan. The reason for this is that the three clans inherited the bloodline of the ancient Overlord Clan of the tiger clan— the Darkness Sacred Tiger. The Darkness Sacred Tiger is the source of the bloodline of all existing tiger-type Demonic Beast on the Tianxuan Continent.
As the Heavenly Demonic Tiger Clan inherited a portion of the legacy of the Darkness Sacred Tiger Clan, it naturally attracted dozens of tiger-type demon Demonic Beast to become its vassals, acknowledging it as their master, and sharing the tiger resources within the Demon Domain with the other two clans.
Similar to the Dou Qi Continent, the Ancient Heaven Serpent and the Heaven Swallowing Python clans were the bloodline source of all snake-like Demonic Beast, but both clans have perished and disappeared into the long river of history.
The Nine Serene Underworld Python Clan, which inherited the bloodline of the Ancient Heaven Serpent, attracted a large number of snake-like Demonic Beast as vassals due to the legacy of their ancestors, and thus became one of the Great Clan in the Magical Beast World.
The demons and their hordes live deep within the Hundred Thousand Mountains.
Magnificent ancient buildings rise from the ground, stretching as far as the eye can see, accompanied by countless towering ancient trees, each thousands of feet tall, lush and green. Countless powerful auras occasionally sweep across the sky, demonstrating the profound foundation of the Heavenly Demonic Tiger Clan.
Atop the towering peak, a dozen or so figures descended from the sky.
"Commander Lin, what do you think of my Heavenly Demonic Tiger Clan?"
Elder Feiyu, back at his own base camp, was clearly in high spirits, and looked around at the people of the Four Symbols Four Symbols Palace with great composure.
"Profound cultural heritage".
Lin Dong looked down at the land beneath his feet with great interest.
No wonder it ranks among the top three among the Eight Royal Clans. If we could swallow it whole, then...
"Hahaha, that's right. After all, our clan has a portion of the bloodline of the ancient Overlord Clan, the Darkness Sacred Tiger, flowing through our veins. Therefore, the Heavenly Demonic Tiger Clan will sooner or later rise to the ranks of the Overlord Clan."
Fei Yu and the other two felt a sense of pride and completely forgot about the less-than-pleasant memories from the Four Symbols Mountain Range.
"Commander Lin, please come with me. The election for our clan's Young Patriarch will officially begin in three days. Let me take you to your place first."
Elder Feiyu, with a ruddy complexion, stroked his graying beard and smiled demurely.
"Of course, we'll go with whatever the host says."
The three Lin Dong brothers exchanged a glance and followed in unison.
Deep in the Hundred Thousand Mountains, in a quiet courtyard.
Lin Dong, Luo Tong, Tian Long, and Huo Miao sat in the pavilion in the backyard, enjoying fragrant tea and occasionally whispering to each other.
"Hmm, it must be Little Marten and Little Flame who have returned from gathering information."
The sound of wind breaking rang out, and Lin Dong seemed to sense something and raised his head.
"Phew, the Heavenly Demon Tiger is only one of the Eight Royal Clans and cannot compare to my Heavenly Demon Marten Tribe, but it still has some foundation."
Little Marten led Little Flame into the pavilion, sat down with a bang, picked up the cup in front of Lin Dong, and took a big gulp.
"No matter what, the Heavenly Demonic Tiger Clan inherited part of the legacy of the ancient Overlord Clan of the Tiger Clan— the Darkness Sacred Tiger Clan. It's normal that they are stronger than ordinary Royal Clan."
Lin Dong poured another cup of fresh tea for the Little Marten and said with a smile, "Tell me, what news did you two find out after wandering around for half a day?"
"There are five people participating in the election for the Young Patriarch of the Heavenly Demonic Tiger Clan, including Little Flame. Two are at the Samsara Stage and three are at the Death Mysterious Stage, Perfected Completion. Among them, Little Flame and one at the Death Mysterious Stage, Perfected Completion are Heavenly Demonic Tiger Clan who have been separated from the clan. The remaining three are all from within the clan."
"The other Samsara Stage is Mo Zi'ang, the son of the current Patriarch Mo Nan. Therefore, Little Flame's only truly formidable opponent is Mo Zi'ang."
The Little Marten put down its teacup and casually wiped its mouth.
"Commander Diao, Mo Zi'ang is the son of the current Patriarch, and he has a natural advantage. What if Flame Commander defeats Mo Zi'ang, and the Heavenly Demonic Tiger Clan wants his son to become the Young Patriarch but refuses to acknowledge it?"
The Heavenly Dragon Demon Commander asked, somewhat puzzled.
"The Tiger Clan is different from ordinary Demon Race. They do not value their origin. In the Tiger Clan's view, only by maintaining this kind of brutal competition can the strength of the next Patriarch be guaranteed, and only then can the clan strive forward."
"The Tiger Clan's traditions, which have lasted for thousands of years, cannot be easily broken by Mo Nan alone. Besides, his position as Patriarch was not inherited from his father, but was obtained after defeating many opponents with great difficulty."
"As a beneficiary of this ancient tradition, how could he oppose it?"
Little Flame picked up the conversation and said.
"Tsk, the Tiger Clan has so many rules. My Dragon Clan is much better."
Upon hearing this Heavenly Dragon Demon Commander smacked his lips and said no more.
"No need to worry, he's just an ordinary Samsara Stage who recently broke through. I'm confident I can defeat him within three moves."
Little Flame glanced at the group and said calmly.
The foundation of the Eight Royal Clans was ultimately inferior to that of the Four Overlord Clans.
The election for the Young Patriarch of the Heavenly Demon Marten Tribe was only attended by two Samsara Stage, Little Marten and Hao Jiuyou. Of course, these two were not ordinary Samsara Stage.
For example, in the Nine-Lives Sky Cat Tribe, all three candidates for the position of Young Patriarch were at the Death Mysterious Stage, Perfected Completion. Huo Miao was immediately established as Young Patriarch young clan leader as soon as he stepped into the Samsara Stage. This is the norm for the selection of Young Patriarch in the Royal Clan.
Similarly, barring any unforeseen circumstances, as the number one among the younger generation and the only expert at the Samsara Stage, Mo Zi'ang will undoubtedly become the Young Patriarch of the Heavenly Demonic Tiger Clan.
Although the Tiger Clan has an ancient tradition of inviting clansmen who have been separated from the tribe to return and participate in the election, these "wild" clansmen mostly rely on their own hard work and lack sufficient background. They are no match for the direct descendants who are born into the tribe, so the possibility of a comeback is almost non-existent.
Who would have thought that this year's selection would produce such an anomaly as Little Flame, who, despite coming from a poor and remote place called the Great Yan Dynasty, possessed a terrifyingly strong foundation and unfathomable strength.
Mo Zi'ang was furious at Little Flame, this unexpected obstacle, but he was under pressure from countless clan elders and clan rules, so he could only rely on his strength to defeat Little Flame, after all, that's how his father got his position.
Over the next few days, the six members of the Four Symbols Palace strolled around the Heavenly Demonic Tiger Clan together. Their leisurely demeanor made them seem less like participants in a competition and more like tourists enjoying the scenery.
This made the other contestants, who were keenly observing their opponents, grit their teeth and then silently leave.
Three days later.
At the summit of an extremely steep and towering peak Martial Arts Arena.
On the vast, seemingly endless platform, figures thronged. Not only were all the Elder Council of the Heavenly Demonic Tiger Clan present, but many old monsters who had been in seclusion also emerged to witness this grand event within their clan.
Most of the clansmen and many elders appeared together, occupying most of the outer perimeter of the Martial Arts Arena, creating a very lively scene.
