Within the Spirit-Seizing Battlefield, a terrifyingly dark mountain suddenly opened its eyes in an eerie manner.
That was right—on the mountain's cliff face, a pair of enormous eyes slowly opened. Then a vast voice rang out: "This is the aura of a pure-blooded Black Prison Heaven-Swallowing Tiger. How is that possible?"
After the voice fell, the mountain abruptly returned to silence.
Whoosh...
Suddenly, wind rose. A plume of eerie black smoke drifted out from the eyes, then took the form of a tiger-like creature atop the mountain.
It resembled a Black Prison Heaven-Swallowing Tiger, yet two horns grew from its head.
Judging by the distorted shape of its entire body, it was not a physical entity. This tiger-shaped lifeform was still merely a spirit shadow.
The next moment, it turned and looked across everything on the mountain. There was an immense platform stretching beyond sight, upon which tens of thousands of humanoid statues, like withered stone, stood in neat rows.
They looked like countless soldiers turned into sculptures.
At that moment, the tiger-shaped spirit shadow slapped a humanoid statue. Instantly, a spirit shadow came billowing out from within it.
The tiger-shaped spirit shadow growled lowly, "Go. Find the aura of the Black Prison Heaven-Swallowing Tiger. Whatever it is, bring it back to me."
Upon hearing this, the humanoid spirit shadow flashed away expressionlessly and vanished in the blink of an eye.
What flickered from this humanoid spirit shadow was precisely the aura of an Emperor Martial Stage spirit shadow.
Only after it had disappeared did the tiger-shaped spirit shadow mutter, "Since the ancient war, does the Central Plains still have such a pure-blooded Black Prison Heaven-Swallowing Tiger? Why has it suddenly appeared... What does this foretell?"
"Just what are you? What do you want?"
