Slaying the Fourth-order Magical Beast, Crimson Flame Tiger

After the White Jade Kirin released its aura, the Magic Beasts in the distance that had wanted to devour Ye Tian immediately cowered.

"Whimper..."

At that moment, three Magic Beasts walked over and submitted to the White Jade Kirin. The suppression of its bloodline filled them with an instinctive fear and urge to submit.

The three Magic Beasts were a Silver Fang Azure Wolf, a Sky Splitting Tiger, and an Iron Plate Rhinoceros. They were all Third-order Magic Beasts, and quite powerful at that, likely comparable to Seven-Star Dou Grandmasters.

"Get lost."

The White Jade Kirin curled its lips, proudly raised its head, and ignored the three fellows.

"Those three big guys were so savage before, yet now they're as docile as little kittens."

Ya Fei and Xiao Yi Xian found it especially amusing as they watched the three Magic Beasts grovel before Xiao Bai.

"Let's go! Ignore those fellows."

Ye Tian called for the two women to jump onto Xiao Bai's back and headed deeper into the Monster Mountain Range.

"Roar..."

When the three Magic Beasts saw the White Jade Kirin leaving, they immediately scampered along behind it.

"Huff, huff..."

Seeing this, the White Jade Kirin directly Skywalked, leaving those three clingy Magic Beasts behind.

"Xiao Bai can Skywalk without wings?"

After witnessing the White Jade Kirin's abilities, Ya Fei and Xiao Yi Xian were utterly stunned. Skywalking was something only Dou Zong experts could accomplish.

"This is a Kirin's ability. There's no need to be surprised," Ye Tian said calmly.

"Master is right. I can walk through the sky and over water." Xiao Bai nodded proudly.

With such a powerful bodyguard, Ye Tian and the two women roamed the Monster Mountain Range as though they were strolling through a backyard. Some Magic Beasts even personally offered up the Spirit Herbs they guarded to curry favor with Xiao Bai.

At the same time, Ye Tian's luck seemed to improve. Every now and then, he encountered rare Spirit Herbs.

However, in order to improve Ya Fei and Xiao Yi Xian's combat ability, Ye Tian would put the White Jade Kirin into the Chaos Tower every so often and have the two women fight the Magic Beasts.

Time flew by, and more than half a year passed in the blink of an eye. Ye Tian and the two women had explored a quarter of the Monster Mountain Range.

During this time, the Spirit Herbs and Magical Cores in Ye Tian's Ring of Holding had piled up in heaps. He felt as if he could open a pharmacy. He had even gathered all the Spirit Herbs needed for the True Spirit Pill, while only three types of Spirit Herbs for the Sixth-grade Pill, the Marrow Cleansing Pill, remained missing.

Ye Tian felt that all of this had been brought by the White Jade Kirin. The auspicious aura around it had brought them good fortune, allowing him to obtain so many Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures.

After more than half a year of cultivation, Ye Tian had reached Nine-Star Dou Grandmaster Perfection and could break through to the Dou Ling realm at any time.

Xiao Yi Xian had progressed just as quickly and was now a Six-Star Dou Grandmaster. Ya Fei was a little slower, having only reached Three-Star Dou Grandmaster.

During this period, Ye Tian had also learned several Formations, including the Spirit Locking Array, Four Symbols Array, Heaven Sealing Array, and Nine Heavens Divine Thunder Array. Xiao Yi Xian and Ya Fei naturally learned alongside him, but their soul power was not as strong as Ye Tian's, so they only mastered the Spirit Locking Array and Four Symbols Array.

"From the time we entered the Monster Mountain Range, only Nine Months have passed, yet Xiao Tian is already about to break through to the Dou Ling realm. We can't catch up to him even if we rode horses."

"Sister Ya Fei, haven't you reached Three-Star Dou Grandmaster too? You're still not satisfied?"

"Xian'er Sister, you've already become a Seven-Star Dou Grandmaster. I'm the weakest among the three of us. Still, for your sister to achieve this much, it's like smoke rising from my ancestors' graves."

"Sister Ya Fei, if people outside found out your strength had improved this quickly, they'd probably go mad."

That day, Ya Fei and Xiao Yi Xian discussed their gains from the past few months with radiant expressions, feeling as though they were dreaming.

Ye Tian was currently resting atop a large boulder, considering their next destination. He planned to break through to the Dou Ling realm first, kill that Crimson Flame Tiger, and then set off to find Hai Bodong and invite that Old Fellow out of seclusion.

"Buzz..."

With that thought, Ye Tian immediately got up, sat cross-legged, and circulated the Chaos Creation Art, preparing to break through to the Dou Ling realm.

"Xiao Tian is breaking through."

When Ya Fei and Xiao Yi Xian saw this from nearby, they immediately walked over and guarded Ye Tian's side.

As his strength increased, Ye Tian often kept the White Jade Kirin in the Chaos Tower rather than bringing it out. The Kirin had now broken through to the Dou Emperor realm. If he brought it along, no other Magic Beasts would dare approach, and they would have no way to gain experience.

"Whoosh..."

As time passed, the Dou Crystal in Ye Tian's dantian began to sprout long horns, and he naturally stepped into the Dou Ling realm.

"Crack..."

After breaking through to the Dou Ling realm, Ye Tian directly condensed a long blade out of Dou Qi and slashed forward.

"Boom..."

With a tremendous bang, a crack several meters deep appeared in the ground more than twenty meters ahead.

"Condensing weapons with Dou Qi—this is a Dou Ling's method."

Seeing the devastating power of Ye Tian's slash, Ya Fei and Xiao Yi Xian became incredibly excited.

"I've broken through to the Dou Ling realm. It's time to kill that Crimson Flame Tiger."

"Oh, right. Those Top-grade Pills I refined for you won't breed if you keep them stored away. Hurry up and take them!"

Ye Tian reminded the two women to seize the time and raise their strength.

"Okay, okay!"

The two women hurriedly swallowed Spirit Gathering Pills and immediately began their breakthroughs.

Two months earlier, Ye Tian had refined a huge batch of Top-grade Pills, including several kinds of Fifth-grade Pills. Their Cultivation Resources were now abundant, so they needed to use them quickly.

Now that Ye Tian was going to kill that Fourth-order Magical Beast, the two women naturally wanted to help as well.

One month later, with the aid of Divine Techniques, poison, and pills, Xiao Yi Xian's strength rose to Nine-Star Dou Grandmaster. Ya Fei reached Six-Star Dou Grandmaster. Afterward, the two women spent another ten days consolidating their realms.

"Xiao Tian, let's go!"

That day, the two women excitedly walked over to Ye Tian and set out with him.

"Let's first see whether that big tiger is still in its original place."

"Whoosh..."

Ye Tian directly used a Flying Dou Technique and flew deeper into the Monster Mountain Range.

After flying several hundred kilometers, Ye Tian arrived at the Crimson Flame Tiger's territory. He then stood atop a hundred-meter-tall tree and quietly observed the surroundings.

"Whoosh..."

"That tiger looks incredibly powerful!"

Soon after, Ya Fei and Xiao Yi Xian also arrived beside Ye Tian and saw a huge tiger in the Valley, seven or eight meters long.

"Roar..."

At that moment, the Crimson Flame Tiger also spotted Ye Tian. It let out a long roar, expressing its displeasure.

"Big tiger, today I'm here to take your life."

Ye Tian directly dove down and charged at the Crimson Flame Tiger.

"Roar..."

Seeing this, the Crimson Flame Tiger spat out a huge fireball that shot toward Ye Tian.

"Huff, huff..."

With a wave of one hand, Ye Tian transformed his Dou Qi into a fierce gale that blew toward the fireball.

"Whoosh, whoosh..."

At that moment, Ya Fei and Xiao Yi Xian also leaped down from the tree, brandishing their long blades as they slashed at the tiger.

"Clang... Crack..."

Following a metallic collision, the long blades in the two women's hands snapped apart.

"Whoosh..."

"Its hide is way too hard!"

As soon as their blades broke, the two women used their Flying Dou Techniques to rise into the air and evade the Crimson Flame Tiger's attacks.

"Roar..."

The Crimson Flame Tiger roared loudly and looked at the two women with disdain.

"That big tiger is in a battle state right now. Ordinary weapons won't have much effect on it. We need to use Dou Techniques."

Blade of Flames

Ye Tian swiftly activated his Dou Qi and formed a ten-meter Flame Long Blade, which he slashed toward the Crimson Flame Tiger.

"Whoosh..."

"Boom... Awooo..."

The Flame Long Blade radiated scorching light and instantly struck the Crimson Flame Tiger, severely injuring it.

Strike while it's sick and take its life!

"Whoosh, whoosh..."

Seeing this, Xiao Yi Xian and Ya Fei quickly pulled out long swords from their Rings of Holding. Using the Carefree Dragon Step, they turned into two afterimages and directly stabbed out the Crimson Flame Tiger's eyes.

"Awooo... Boom, boom..."

Already heavily injured by Ye Tian's Blade of Flames, and now blinded as well, the Crimson Flame Tiger wailed continuously and crashed about everywhere like a headless fly.

"Whoosh..."

"I'll send you on your way!"

Ye Tian directly transformed his Dou Qi into a long blade and slashed it toward the Crimson Flame Tiger.

"Awoo..."

Under Ye Tian's powerful slash, the Crimson Flame Tiger finally could not hold on any longer. It collapsed to the ground and died.

Father! Mother! The Crimson Flame Tiger is dead. Rest in peace!

After killing the Crimson Flame Tiger, Ye Tian knelt on the ground and silently consoled his deceased parents.

"Xiao Tian..."

"Sob..."

Seeing Ye Tian like this, Xiao Yi Xian could no longer hold back her tears. Ya Fei could not bear it either, and tears streamed down her face.

"Back then, when your parents helped you obtain Beast Fire, could it have been from this Crimson Flame Tiger?"

After venting their grief, Ya Fei and Xiao Yi Xian wiped their tears and asked Ye Tian about what had happened back then.

"At the time, my parents were only Dou Masters. How could they have dared provoke a Fourth-order Magical Beast like this?"

"Back then, we found a Second-order Magical Beast, a Blazing Fire Azure Wolf, and prepared to attack it. But it kept running, so we kept chasing it. Then we accidentally chased it here. By the time we wanted to flee, it was already too late. My parents fought to buy me time and directly self-destructed, trying to hold back this Crimson Flame Tiger... After I jumped off the cliff, I fell unconscious. My blood activated the Formation Master had set outside, and then she pulled me into the tower."

Ye Tian slowly described in detail how his parents had died and how he had encountered his fortuitous opportunity. Thinking about it now, he felt that his fate had been tough enough; otherwise, he would have long since been eaten by that Magic Beast.

"You really suffered."

After hearing Ye Tian's account, the two women could imagine how desperate the Little Fellow had been. He had dared to jump from a hundred-meter cliff just so he would not become the Crimson Flame Tiger's meal.

"Let's see if this big tiger has a Magical Core."

Ye Tian felt that this Fourth-order Magical Beast, the Crimson Flame Tiger, should be able to yield a Magical Core. He took out a long blade and began dissecting it.

"Whoosh..."

Before long, a Magical Core flashing with scorching energy appeared.

"It seems that powerful Magic Beasts have a chance of yielding Magical Cores."

Ya Fei hurriedly took out a Jade Box, placed the Fourth-order Magical Core inside, and handed it to Ye Tian.

Afterward, Ye Tian and the two women found a Valley, cooked a grand meal, and enjoyed themselves.

"Xiao Tian, I want to enter seclusion for a while to cultivate my soul and study Formations. We used pills to raise our strength before, but our Soul Strength hasn't kept up."

At that moment, Xiao Yi Xian told Ye Tian what she had in mind. She wanted to learn more and properly temper her State of Mind as well.

"Yes! I want to cultivate too, especially the Universe Soul Forging Art. My progress has been very slow."

Seeing that Xiao Yi Xian had already reached Nine-Star Dou Grandmaster, Ya Fei felt somewhat anxious as well.

The two women now understood the levels of soul cultivation. Ye Tian's soul had reached Mortal Realm Late-stage Grand Perfection, while they were only at Mortal Realm Early-stage Peak. They felt far too lacking.

Soul cultivation on the Dou Qi Continent was extremely slow. Even though Ye Tian possessed a Cultivation Method devoted to the soul like the Universe Soul Forging Art, he had only cultivated it to the second layer's Perfection and had yet to enter the third layer. According to Master, if he could cultivate the Universe Soul Forging Art to the sixth layer on the Dou Qi Continent, his Soul Strength could reach the Emperor Realm.

"I'll refine True Spirit Pills for you first, then you can cultivate inside my Chaos Tower."

Ye Tian directly took out the Universe Cauldron and prepared to refine pills. Since the two women were natives of this world, their Soul Strength could not compare to that of a Transmigrator like him. He could only use pills to speed up their progress.

After gathering all the Spirit Herbs for the True Spirit Pill, Ye Tian had yet to refine it. Moreover, the Spirit Herbs required for this pill were extremely rare, so he could only refine it carefully and strive to succeed in one attempt.

Fortunately, Ye Tian had already obtained the pill refinement method in detail from the Pill Dao Sacred Canon, so it was fairly simple.

Half an hour later, Ye Tian finally refined the True Spirit Pill.

"How miraculous."

"I seem to sense a power from this pill that can elevate the soul."

Xiao Yi Xian and Ya Fei stared at the True Spirit Pill, filled with nothing but astonishment.

"Sister Ya Fei, you go first."

Ye Tian directly stuffed the True Spirit Pill into Ya Fei's mouth and had her test the medicine.

"Mmm..."

The pill melted as soon as it entered her mouth, transforming into a miraculous power that nourished Ya Fei's soul. She felt as if her whole body were floating, and she could not help letting out a comfortable moan.

"Pfft! That sound is way too seductive."

Hearing Ya Fei's suggestive voice, Ye Tian and Xiao Yi Xian could not help laughing.

"Stop laughing. I couldn't help it. The effects of this True Spirit Pill are too miraculous."

"Xiao Tian, sense your sister's Soul Strength and see how it is."

Ya Fei shot them a charming glare, then looked at Ye Tian with her beautiful eyes.

"Buzz..."

"It has already reached the Mortal Realm Mid-stage."

Ye Tian could only use his powerful soul power to examine Ya Fei's condition. Sure enough, he found that her Soul Strength had increased.

"Xiao Tian, thank you. Mwah... mwah..."

Seeing that her Soul Strength had truly risen by a minor level, Ya Fei excitedly jumped up, hugged Ye Tian, and kissed him several times.

"Uh... Don't get too excited."

Suddenly ambushed by this woman, Ye Tian nearly lost control. If this continued, something was bound to happen sooner or later.

"Sister Ya Fei, I'm still here!"

Seeing Ya Fei's excitement, Xiao Yi Xian helplessly shook her head. If I weren't here, this woman probably would have made a move on Xiao Tian long ago.

"Xian'er Sister, you're not an outsider. Don't mind such things."

Ya Fei then released Ye Tian, turned around, and tightly hugged Xiao Yi Xian in her arms, letting the Little Girl feel her warmth.

After steadying himself, Ye Tian refined another True Spirit Pill for Xiao Yi Xian, helping her increase her Soul Strength.

"You will cultivate your souls in the Chaos Tower for the time being and study formations, spirit herbs, and medicinal pills."

"Under no circumstances are you to cultivate battle qi. After all, the Heaven and Earth Energy inside is different from that of the outside world."

After finishing all this, Ye Tian gave the Two Women some instructions before taking them into the Chaos Tower.

"Got it! Senior Jin had already told me about this."

After entering the Chaos Tower, the Two Women replied to Ye Tian, then headed straight for the pavilion in the lake to begin cultivating in seclusion.
