See the Great Way by Breaking Through Life and Death; Create the Future with the Nine-Turn Divine Art (Continued)

The next moment, the waves surged, and the fierce beast leaped out of the sea, opening its bloody maw to bite at Yun Xiao!

Its foul-smelling drool dripped into the seawater, corroding it, while its sharp fangs looked capable of chewing even a sacred mountain to pieces!

Faced with such a terrifying sight, Yun Xiao flew straight toward the fierce beast's gaping maw alone. Then she grabbed its fangs tightly with both hands!

"Crack!"

Under Xiao Bai's astonished gaze, Yun Xiao snapped off one of its fangs with her bare hands!

"What kind of strength is that?!"

A storm surged through Xiao Bai's heart. If Yun Xiao had used this kind of force when she subdued him, one punch would have turned him into a bloody mess!

If he knew that Yun Xiao could even crush the Yin Yang Qilin's spine in her grip, he probably wouldn't have been so shocked.

"Roar!"

The fierce beast finally let out a pained roar, but it still didn't retreat. Instead, its giant claw once again blotted out the sky as it swiped at Yun Xiao.

"Bang!"

With another plain, unadorned punch, Yun Xiao pierced right through the fierce beast's other giant claw!

"Bang!"

With her second punch, she shattered half of the beast's shoulder!

"Whoosh!"

With her third strike, she cut off its tail.

Yun Xiao pounded the fierce beast over and over, her expression unchanged. It shrieked repeatedly, but its vitality was terrifyingly strong. Even with blood gushing from its wounds, it didn't die right away.

If anything, the baleful aura around it grew even more intense!

"Rumble!"

Yun Xiao raised both hands, lifting an island out of the sea, then hurled it straight at the beast's head!

The next moment, the fierce beast's head split open and blood poured out. Though still ferocious, it was now on the verge of death, barely able to breathe.

Xiao Bai drew in a sharp breath at the sight.

Which one of them was the actual beast here?!

Still, that felt great!

"Thick hide and tougher than a cockroach. What a waste of time."

Seeing how pleased Xiao Bai looked, Yun Xiao couldn't be bothered to keep fighting the fierce beast. With a thought, a small ruler appeared, hovering in the air.

"Clang—"

As soon as the ruler appeared, it gathered the boundless killing intent of heaven and earth. Amid flashes of lightning and peals of thunder, a purple dragon roared forth and slashed straight at the beast!

"Pfft!"

Meeting no resistance at all, the purple dragon pierced straight through the fierce beast. Its terrifying killing intent instantly shredded every function of its body, and it finally crashed helplessly into the sea, slowly sinking beneath the waves.

"As expected of the Primordial Measure Heaven Ruler. Its killing power really is astonishing!"

Looking at the fierce beast, pierced through with a single strike, even Yun Xiao was a little surprised.

She had only used one-fifth of her magical power to activate the ruler, yet the beast she'd been unable to kill after fighting for so long had been slain outright.

What terrifying power would it unleash if she used it at full force?

[ Ding, Divine Choice activated. ]

As Yun Xiao marveled at the ruler's power, the system's voice suddenly rang in her ears.

[Option One: Take an active part in the Fierce Beast Tribulation. Reward: one defensive High-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure.]

[Option Two: Do not take part in the Fierce Beast Tribulation. Reward: one Fragment of the Jade of Creation.]

"Option two."

Yun Xiao chose without hesitation.

She already had the Pure World White Lotus, so another defensive Innate Spiritual Treasure wouldn't be of much use.

Besides, if she remembered correctly, the Dragon, Phoenix, and Qilin Clans would ultimately win the tribulation. There was no need for her to get involved.

After all, she was only an utterly ordinary early-stage Golden Immortal cultivator. Let the big shots handle a calamity of this scale!

Most importantly, there was no benefit at all in killing fierce beasts!

Fierce beasts had formed from the resentment and flesh of the Three Thousand Chaos Demon Gods. Killing them brought no benefits—not even their flesh could be eaten.

Why would Yun Xiao bother with something so thankless?

[The host has made a choice. Reward: one Fragment of the Jade of Creation.]

The system's voice rang out, and at the same time, the location of the fragment appeared in Yun Xiao's mind.

"Kunlun Mountain?"

As Yun Xiao read the location, a strange look crossed her face.

From what she remembered, Kunlun Mountain—the Primordial Wilderness's second ancestral mountain range—was where the Three Pure Ones had taken shape.

She'd just taken a good haul from Zhunti and Jieyin. Could she do the same when she went to Kunlun...?

As she thought about it, Yun Xiao's eyes gradually lit up.

"Ahem, Master..."

Just then, a somewhat deferential voice interrupted Yun Xiao's thoughts. Xiao Bai had come to her side and was rubbing affectionately against her clothes.

As the White Tiger Clan's leader, he naturally had some spiritual fruits on him. While Yun Xiao had been teaching the fierce beast a lesson, he had already recovered.

"Master, I..."

Xiao Bai was just about to speak when Yun Xiao cut him off. "Since you're my mount, of course I'd step in to help you."

Her expression was calm, as if she had already guessed what Xiao Bai wanted to say.

"No, Master. I think the baleful energy in the world is so dense that a tribulation may be coming."

"If you don't mind, could you find an Innate Restriction and move my White Tiger Clan there to take shelter?"

"After all, I am the clan leader..."

Xiao Bai finished in one breath, then looked at Yun Xiao pitifully.

Sigh~

Yun Xiao drew in a deep breath.

Good grief, he really was pushing his luck!

Western Land, White Tiger Mountain.

"Master, this is my clan's ancestral home."

Xiao Bai led Yun Xiao up the mountain. At the same time, that familiar smell wafted toward her again.

Yun Xiao calmly held her breath, but couldn't help quickening her pace.

Before long, the human and the demon reached the mountaintop. But when they saw the scene before them, both were stunned!

The place was now in ruins, with broken giant trees and shattered rocks everywhere, along with damaged restrictions.

There were also enormous clawed footprints everywhere!

"My people!"

Xiao Bai's eyes reddened, and he rushed forward. But after searching all around, he couldn't find a single member of his clan.

"Am I the only one left of the Geng Metal White Tiger Clan?"

Xiao Bai collapsed helplessly to the ground. He had thought he would return home in glory, but instead, he had been separated from his people forever!

"Sigh."

Just then, Yun Xiao sighed softly and pointed to several claw marks on a stone wall ahead. "Those markings were left for you by another white tiger, weren't they?"

Xiao Bai scrambled to his feet and looked at the marks. His expression immediately brightened. "Yes! The message was left by our clan leader. It says the clan has moved to Ten Thousand Beast Forest, nine trillion miles away."

Xiao Bai spoke with delight, but a moment later, he froze.

A message left by the clan leader?

Wait a second!

Wasn't he the White Tiger Clan's leader?

"Let's go see."

Yun Xiao sat on Xiao Bai's back, and the two of them transformed into a streak of light and flew toward Ten Thousand Beast Forest.

"Just how did those monsters appear? It's like a calamity!"
