The Divine Seeds and True Dragons shuddered beneath Hu Heifeng's cool, water-calm gaze, as though a savage beast had fixed its eyes upon them, leaving their hearts unsettled.
There was no doubt.
Within this seemingly unremarkable, gaunt old man with his withered features lurked an unfathomably terrifying, supreme demonic might, enough to destroy heaven and earth.
"As expected of the Tiger Talisman Mountain King. Even in old age, his might still reigns over heaven and earth!"
With Hu Heifeng's arrival, heaven and earth abruptly darkened. Boundless black light spread like ink, swallowing the blue sky. Gazing at the stooped old man steeped in decay, Lao Six murmured in awe.
"He is extraordinary indeed. Hopefully, he bears us no ill intent. Otherwise..."
Xiao Chen also felt considerable pressure before Hu Heifeng. Though the old man had concealed all his demonic might, the flecks of vicious light seeping from his fathomless eyes were sharp and cold as blades, deeply unsettling.
"Not bad. The earth saint flood dragon bloodline!"
"The wuji yin-yang saint physique!"
"Chiyou... demonic physique!"
Before the enormous mountain tomb, Hu Heifeng paced forward, slowly surveying the candidates. Their heaven-shaking bloodlines and formidable foundations softened his aged, faintly cold, expressionless face. A slight smile even curled his lips.
As the fierce beast guarding the treasure.
He had lain dormant for years.
All to await heavenly destiny.
And choose a master for the Thousand Mountains Tiger Talisman.
Now.
The opportunity had arrived.
Seeing each candidate more formidable than the last.
Hu Heifeng's old heart found solace.
He felt thoroughly delighted.
The Thousand Mountains Tiger Talisman.
A wondrous earth-element treasure.
When choosing its master.
It placed utmost importance on an earth-aligned heavenly destiny.
Among the candidates.
Eight or nine out of ten.
Overflowed with earth-element power.
They possessed either a sacred earth bloodline.
