Tiger Realm

Tiger Realm.

This was a complex world of mountains and forests, dozens of times broader than the Xia Clan's territory, with countless clans living within it.

But most of them were merely food.

Food for the Tiger Clan.

The Tiger Clan was one of the few upper fourth-rank major powers in the Barbarian Domain.

They were renowned for their formidable individual strength.

They lived as a clan within the same territory.

Yet before their strength reached a certain threshold, they rarely gathered on a large scale.

Most traveled alone. Some took female tigers and cubs with them, only driving the females away once the cubs came of age and the females grew old.

Of course, sometimes it happened the other way around.

At this moment, on Heavenly Tiger Mountain in the Tiger Realm.

This was a place where the Tiger Clan gathered in great numbers. Naturally, all the tigers here had surpassed that threshold; even the weakest were equivalent to the Innate Ninth Level.

They were one of the cores that allowed the Tiger Clan to suppress the vast Tiger Realm, raid everywhere, and awe the Barbarian Domain.

Roar!

Accompanied by a thunderous roar.

A piece of news reached Heavenly Tiger Mountain.

The Xia Clan—the great clan territory that had once stood shoulder to shoulder with the Tiger Clan—had reportedly shown strange phenomena. According to the Star Gazing Clan, which the Tiger Clan kept in captivity, a Secret Realm was suspected to have emerged there.

The instant this news came out.

Heavenly Tiger Mountain was shaken.

The benefits within a newly emerged Secret Realm were undoubtedly enormous. Even the Tiger Clan could not help coveting it.

Moreover, this Secret Realm had appeared within the Xia Clan's territory, a clan they were on the verge of exterminating. They had already prepared to wait a few more decades, until the Xia Clan's strongest guardian combatant died, then wipe them out completely.

After all, every clan capable of becoming an upper fourth-rank clan possessed sufficient potential!

Yet now, the appearance of a Secret Realm would undoubtedly add variables.

Some tigers suggested that there was no need to wait. They should mobilize the Heavenly Tiger First Legion at once, notify Lord First Tiger, charge directly into the Xia Clan's territory, seize the Secret Realm, and destroy the Xia Clan.

But other tigers hesitated.

The Xia Clan's supreme combatant had yet to die.

That was an existence with countless tricks up his sleeve, one who had still suppressed the First Tiger of the Barbarian Domain to this day even while gravely injured.

If they went now, and that old fellow still had some hidden card left, causing them tremendous losses, it would be troublesome.

They had waited centuries already. With only a few more decades, they could simply wear him down to death with time. Going over now would likely cause branches to grow from an otherwise straight trunk.

Listening to the quarrel around them, the current chief of Heavenly Tiger Mountain found himself caught between left and right.

It was difficult to decide.

Just as all of Heavenly Tiger Mountain was arguing itself into a frenzy over a Secret Realm, a huge, majestic male tiger descended from the sky, steady and imposing, clouds formed from qi coiling around its body as it stepped through the air.

The arrival of this tiger alarmed all of Heavenly Tiger Mountain. No matter what they had been doing, every tiger followed the scent of its aura outside—even the high-ranking members of Heavenly Tiger Mountain who had been discussing how to handle the Xia Clan's Secret Realm in their caves.

All the fierce tigers lowered their proud heads. Their tails whipped like long lashes, cracking through the air with sharp pops.

They welcomed its arrival with the highest honors.

"Greetings, Lord First Tiger!"

The moment the huge tiger landed, the chief of Heavenly Tiger Mountain stepped forward and lowered his head in greeting.

This was the Tiger Clan's strongest expert, the First Tiger of the Barbarian Domain.

An existence that suppressed the Tiger Realm and intimidated every clan in the Barbarian Domain.

To the Tiger Clan, it was the heavens. It was a god.

Any tiger who saw it, regardless of status, had to offer the highest courtesy at once.

This was not merely because it was the strongest.

More importantly, it was the pride of the Tiger Clan.

Having reached the King Ninth Level Peak in two hundred years, it had now protected the Tiger Clan for a full eight hundred years—and would continue protecting them for another two hundred.

A Tiger Clan member who had just entered the King Realm lived for eight hundred years, while one at the King Ninth Level Peak had a lifespan of twelve hundred years.

"I already know what happened!"

The First Tiger of the Barbarian Domain slowly walked forward, passing through the tiger pack. Wherever it went, the tigers all moved aside.

"The Xia Clan is nothing to fear."

"I have already sensed it. In twenty years—twenty years at most—I will take another step forward."

"Now, whether the Xia Clan gains anything from the Secret Realm is no longer important. Do not grow branches from a straight trunk. In the future, those things will still belong to my Tiger Clan. For now, let the Xia Clan keep them safe for us!"

"In twenty years, the Xia Clan shall be destroyed!"

"The Peng Clan shall be destroyed!"

"The Lion Clan shall be destroyed!"

"The Yuan Clan shall be destroyed!"

"The Kunwu Clan shall be destroyed!"

"The Wise Snake Clan shall be destroyed!"

"The Savage Ox Clan shall be destroyed!"

"The Crocodile Clan shall be destroyed!"

"The Barbarian Domain shall have only one voice!"

Roar!

The First Tiger of the Barbarian Domain delivered its declaration slowly, its voice steady yet brimming with passion. At last, it threw back its head and let out an earth-shaking roar.

Its cry shook the skies for millions upon millions of li.

Its powerful aura spread out, and a storm swept across the entire scene.

The Tiger Clan, whose blood had already been set aflame by its words, were caught by that roar. The weak collapsed outright, while even the strong found it hard to bear, their chests tightening.

If you were going to speak, then just speak properly.

It had already made their whole bodies tremble! Their excitement was impossible to contain.

Excitement and hot blood surged upward in whooshing waves.

Why did it suddenly have to roar so loudly?!

It did not even give them advance warning.

It gave them no time to prepare at all.

If the one standing before them had not been the Tiger Clan's strongest expert, then if it had been any other tiger, they would have wanted to swing their tails and give it a lash each.

Only after quite a while did they gather up their scattered hot blood again and continue getting excited.

They could not help being excited!

Just listen to what Lord First Tiger had said.

It was going to break through!

The current First Tiger was already at the King Ninth Level Peak. If it broke through again, it would reach the Emperor Venerable Legend Realm, a realm that had not appeared in the Barbarian Domain for thousands of years!

When that time came!

Under Lord First Tiger's leadership, their Tiger Clan would sweep across the entire Barbarian Domain.

Every place in the Barbarian Domain would become the Tiger Clan's hunting ground, and every treasure would belong to the Tiger Clan!

As the Tiger Clan's upper ranks, the benefits they would receive would naturally be the greatest.

At that time, taking another step forward would be beyond doubt.

First Tiger breaking through.

It would be a tremendous blessing for both the clan and themselves.

How could they not be excited?

Roar!

Roar!

Thunderous roars began rising one after another.

A scorching aura circled above Heavenly Tiger Mountain, lingering for a long time without dispersing.
