In the center of the Sky Screen, the screen that had remained dim for a long time since the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger was captured suddenly flickered with a soft white light.

The image gradually brightened, and a brand-new scene appeared before everyone's eyes.

This was no longer the dark and humid beast forest, nor was it a mortal city amidst a flurry of snow.

Instead, it was a vast expanse of mountains that looked like a fairyland.

Huge mountain peaks floated in mid-air, wreathed in clouds and mist.

Between the peaks, waterfalls of spiritual springs emitting seven-colored light cascaded down, and cranes let out crisp cries in the clouds.

The air here was permeated with a faint layer of white mist, a manifestation of spiritual energy so dense it had condensed into substance.

The 72nd Branch of the Primordial Immortal Court.

On the mountainside of the Beast Taming Peak, there was a massive plaza paved entirely with white jade.

At this moment, the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger, which had been infamous in the Star Dou Great Forest, was lying in a cyan magic circle in the center of the plaza.

Its bones had been broken by that Nascent Soul stage elder, and although it had been fed some herbs to barely knit its skeleton back together, its massive body remained incredibly weak, and those red eyes that were once full of wildness and cunning were now filled only with deep terror.

Outside the magic circle stood two people.

One of them was the gray-robed old man who had casually suppressed it earlier, Elder Liu.

Standing in front of Elder Liu was a middle-aged man wearing purple-gold Taoist robes and a jade crown.

This man's face was as handsome as fine jade, and he did not emit a single shred of pressure.

Yet, just by standing there, the surrounding spiritual energy seemed to have found its master, flowing gently and obediently around him.

This was the Sect Master of the 72nd Branch of the Primordial Immortal Court, a true powerhouse who had stepped into the threshold of the Spirit Severing stage!

In front of this Sect Master, Elder Liu put away all his arrogance, bowing slightly with a very respectful attitude.

"Sect Master, this black tiger is what the disciples below caught in the Luoxia Mountain Range."

Elder Liu pointed at the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger in the magic circle.

"I have checked it; this beast indeed carries a trace of thin spatial laws within its body, and the bead on its tail also hides a hint of the essence of time."

The Purple-Robed Sect Master nodded, his gaze sweeping calmly over the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger.

That gaze seemed to be able to see through its soul, making the fierce beast tremble uncontrollably and bury its head deep into its claws.

"Well done."

The Purple-Robed Sect Master withdrew his gaze and flipped his wrist, causing a scroll emitting a dazzling golden light to appear in his palm.

The moment this scroll appeared, the spiritual energy of the entire Beast Taming Peak began to vibrate violently, and a grand, resonant Sanskrit chant faintly echoed out.

"A few days ago, a decree came from the main sect."

The Purple-Robed Sect Master held the golden scroll with both hands, his tone filled with fanatical worship.

"The supreme founder who established our Primordial Immortal Court, that founder whose achievements reached the heavens!"

"The founder's decree clearly states that all branches of the Primordial Immortal Court must widely recruit spirit beasts with exotic bloodlines."

"Especially those exotic beasts with talent in the laws of space and time must be cultivated with all available resources."

The Purple-Robed Sect Master carefully tucked the golden scroll into his robes.

He looked at the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger in the magic circle and said indifferently, "Although this black tiger's bloodline is mottled and its body is tainted with quite a bit of inferior dark baleful energy, since it meets the requirements of the founder's decree, it can no longer be treated as an ordinary guard beast."

Having said this, the Purple-Robed Sect Master reached into the storage bag at his waist and pulled out a Jade Purifying Bottle.

As he pulled out the stopper, a strange medicinal fragrance, even more potent than the pill Wang Lin had given the little calf, instantly permeated the entire White Jade Plaza.

Upon smelling this fragrance, the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger in the magic circle suddenly raised its head, its eyes erupting with unprecedented greed.

Its instincts as a soul beast were screaming a warning: if it could consume what was in that bottle, it would undergo a true rebirth!

Douluo Continent, Star Dou Great Forest.

The water of the Lake of Life churned violently.

The Azure Bull Python, Da Ming, surged out of the water with his massive body, his lantern-like eyes staring fixedly at the Sky Screen.

"What is inside that bottle!"

Da Ming's voice was trembling, and the lake water was shaken into a sky full of mist by his agitated aura.

"Just by smelling that scent through the light screen, the bottleneck that has stagnated for a hundred thousand years in my body actually shows signs of loosening!"

The Titan Giant Ape, Er Ming, was in an even worse state; his hill-like body lay on the shore, gasping for breath.

For soul beasts, this kind of immortal pill capable of directly elevating bloodline purity and even breaking the shackles of lifespan was more lethal than anything else.

"Big Brother, that dead tiger is about to hit the jackpot!"

Er Ming slammed a fist into the ground, his eyes filled with jealousy.

"It only has sixty thousand years of cultivation! If it eats what's in that bottle, I'm afraid it could catch up to us directly!"

Inside the Pope Palace, Bibi Dong also gasped.

She gripped the armrests of her throne tightly, her nails scraping against the hard refined gold and emitting a harsh, grating sound.

She had originally assumed that people from the Renegade Immortal World only knew how to slaughter and enslave.

Now it seemed that not only could they plunder, but they also possessed heaven-defying means to reshape life itself!

"Creating gods..."

Bibi Dong murmured to herself, her eyes burning with fanaticism.

"Their world can actually rely on pills to forcibly manufacture existences at the level of a hundred-thousand-year soul beast!"

The eyes of the entire continent were focused, at this moment, on that small Jade Purifying Bottle.

On the Sky Screen.

The Purple-Robed Sect Master tilted his wrist slightly.

A pill emitting a soft white light, its surface covered in nine golden patterns, rolled out from the mouth of the bottle and hovered in mid-air.

"This is the Nine-Turn Marrow Cleansing Pill bestowed by the main sect."

The Purple-Robed Sect Master looked at the pill, a trace of reluctance flashing in his eyes.

"Although it is a defective, leftover pill discarded by the main sect's alchemy room, it is more than enough to cleanse the mundane bloodline of this beast."

Hearing this, everyone in Douluo suffered another ten thousand points of critical damage.

An peerless immortal pill that would drive a hundred-thousand-year fierce beast into a frenzy.

In the mouth of this Nascent Soul stage expert, it was actually just a piece of trash discarded by the main sect?

Just how terrifying was the foundation of that Primordial Immortal Court?

Before everyone could recover from their shock.

The Purple-Robed Sect Master flicked his finger.

The Nine-Turn Marrow Cleansing Pill turned into a streak of white light, shooting directly into the slightly open mouth of the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger.

The moment the pill entered its stomach.

The massive body of the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger stiffened violently.

Immediately following, a pillar of white light, violent to the extreme, erupted from within its body and shot into the sky, enveloping it entirely.

"ROAR!"

A scream, miserable to the extreme, rang out from within the white light.

The Dark Demon Evil God Tiger rolled frantically on the ground.

The bones within its body emitted crisp, popping sounds like beans in a pan.

Those black baleful auras that originally belonged to the dark attribute were like snow meeting the scorching sun under the scouring of this pure and vast immortal spiritual power, rapidly evaporating into nothingness.

Its Evil God bloodline, which it took such pride in, was being forcibly stripped away and restructured.

The agony of having the very essence of its species forcibly altered caused it to claw deep furrows into the floor of the White Jade Plaza.

The entire process lasted for a full stick of incense.

As the white light gradually receded.

A brand-new spirit beast appeared in everyone's line of sight.

Its fur, originally black as ink, had now turned a noble, pure white, covered in miraculous golden demonic patterns.

The pair of black fleshy wings on its back had shed their ugly scales, growing long, full, white-gold feathers that resembled the wings of a legendary angel.

What was most shocking was that its scorpion tail, once tipped with barbs, had vanished.

In its place was a long, slender tiger tail burning with golden divine fire, with tiny spatial rifts flickering in and out of existence around it.

Its size had shrunk by half, but the aura radiating from its body was more than ten times more terrifying than before!

A golden halo condensed at its abdomen.

That was the mark of a demon core taking shape!

The Dark Demon Evil God Tiger... no, it should be called the Light God Demon Tiger now.

It slowly stood up and stretched that pair of white-gold wings.

Those eyes, originally scarlet and cunning, had now turned a deep, dark gold, exuding an inviolable, sacred majesty.

It tilted its head back and let out a tiger's roar that shattered the clouds.

The sound waves transformed into tangible shockwaves, scattering the surrounding mist in every direction.

Deep within the Star Dou Great Forest.

"Boom!"

The Azure Bull Python and the Titan Giant Ape both took a large step back simultaneously.

The eyes of the two hundred-thousand-year soul beasts were filled with profound terror.

"One hundred thousand years..."

Da Ming lowered his massive head, his voice raspy.

"It actually broke through the boundary, and without undergoing any heavenly tribulation!"

"Its aura right now is even stronger than mine..."

Er Ming kept his mouth agape, unable to utter a single word for a long time.

The ironclad laws of the Douluo Continent were being thoroughly shattered at this very moment.

For a soul beast to cultivate for one hundred thousand years, it must survive a near-fatal heavenly tribulation; this was the rule of the world.

Yet, that so-called defective, residual pill had actually helped a sixty-thousand-year soul beast ignore the rules entirely and ascend in a single step!

Inside Shrek Academy.

Yu Xiaogang's face was as pale as paper.

He felt as though his breathing had nearly stopped.

"The conservation of energy... has been broken."

Yu Xiaogang muttered to himself, unable to find any excuse to mask his inner collapse.

"A waste pill has created a hundred-thousand-year fierce beast comparable to a Super Douluo."

"What else in that world is impossible to achieve?"

Just as the entire continent felt a chill down their spines due to the transformation of this Light God Demon Tiger.

On the Sky Screen.

The Purple-Robed Sect Master looked at the majestic God Demon Tiger and nodded with satisfaction.

"Not bad. Having shed that inferior, mortal baleful aura, it is finally barely presentable."

He turned his head to look at Elder Liu beside him.

"Elder Liu, next month is the centennial celebration of the main sect's outer disciple tournament."

"The bloodline of this Light God Demon Tiger has barely reached the threshold of a third-tier spirit beast."

The Purple-Robed Sect Master smoothed his wide sleeves and commanded in a flat tone.

"Take it down and train it well in the rules."

"When the day of the celebration arrives, send it to the main sect."

"Having it pull carriages for those outer disciples should be enough to ensure it doesn't disgrace the face of my 72nd Branch Sect."

This light, airy sentence was like an invisible slap, striking the faces of everyone on the entire continent with immense force.

The entire Douluo Continent fell into a deathly silence.

Then, it erupted into a chorus of exclamations mixed with despair and madness.

A peerless fierce beast of the hundred-thousand-year level!

One that had consumed a divine pill capable of changing the landscape of the world!

In the eyes of that mighty cultivator at the Soul Formation stage.

It was merely barely qualified.

To pull a carriage... for an outer disciple of their Primordial Immortal Court?!

In the Fasno Province, on the dirt playground of Shrek Academy.

The night breeze carried a hint of chill, rustling the leaves of the old trees at the edge of the field.

Zhu Zhuqing and Ning Rongrong stood side by side at the edge of the playground, both girls' faces as pale as paper.

Ning Rongrong twisted the hem of her clothes tightly with both hands, and the tears swirling in her eyes finally could not help but fall.

"Zhuqing, I'm so scared..."

This proud daughter of heaven, born into the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect and raised like a star surrounded by the moon, now had an unconcealable tremor in her voice.

"The people of that world don't treat life as life at all."

"If even such a terrifying God Demon Tiger is only fit to pull a carriage, if we were to be chosen, wouldn't we be even worse off than livestock?"

Zhu Zhuqing bit her lower lip, a trace of blood seeping out.

She did not weep like Ning Rongrong, but deep within her cold, clear eyes, a profound sense of powerlessness was written just the same.

She had previously believed that as long as she cultivated diligently, one day she would be able to hold her fate in her own hands.

However, after watching the live broadcast on the Sky Screen, she realized it was not nearly that simple.

Tang San stood in front of the girls, his hands clasped behind his back, trembling uncontrollably.

He tilted his head, his gaze fixed unblinkingly on the Sky Screen.

"Outer sect disciple..."

Tang San chewed on these words repeatedly, his brows furrowed into a deep, jagged line.

"An outer sect disciple of a branch sect can enjoy a carriage pulled by a 100,000-year-old exotic beast of this caliber."

"Then what about the inner sect disciples of this Primordial Immortal Court? The elders?"

"And that founder, whom they worship like a god..."

Tang San drew a sharp breath, feeling that his imagination could no longer keep up with the settings of the Renegade Immortal World.

He had once thought that the Tang Sect's pinnacle hidden weapon, the Buddha Fury Tang Lotus, was the most terrifying killing tool in the world.

Now, thinking back, if that thing were thrown into the Primordial Immortal Court, it probably wouldn't even be able to scratch the surface of their mountain-protecting formation.

Beside him, Yu Xiaogang lacked even the strength to stand straight; leaning against a wooden post, he stared at the sky with vacant eyes, looking as if he had aged ten years in an instant.

Just as the entire Douluo Continent was stunned by this glimpse into the tip of the Primordial Immortal Court's iceberg, the scene on the Sky Screen began to shift.

Having received the Sect Master's decree, Elder Liu flicked his wide sleeve, and with the now-transformed Light God Demon Tiger in tow, he turned into a long rainbow and flew toward the back mountain of Beast Taming Peak.

Following Elder Liu's aerial perspective, the vast, panoramic view of the 72nd Branch of the Primordial Immortal Court was revealed to the people of Douluo with unprecedented clarity for the first time.

This was no mere sect; it was an independent, miniature world.

As far as the eye could see, hundreds of massive mountain peaks floated in mid-air.

Connecting the peaks were wide bridges constructed from pure white jade.

Streams of spiritual waterfalls, radiating seven-colored light, cascaded down from the summits of the main peaks, turning into a sky full of spiritual rain that nourished the nameless immortal flora below.

In the sky, flocks of immortal cranes flew by from time to time, and the spiritual energy fluctuations radiating from each crane far exceeded those of the 10,000-year spirit beasts of the Douluo Continent.

Occasionally, one could see cultivators in Daoist robes, stepping on flying swords or riding strange magical artifacts, shuttling between the peaks with such speed that only afterimages remained.

This atmosphere of immortality, which existed only in myths and legends, left everyone on the Douluo Continent dumbstruck.

Even Bibi Dong, the Pope of Spirit Hall, watched the light screen with a face full of intoxication.

Compared to this Primordial Immortal Court, her Pope Palace—built with countless gold and silver—seemed as shabby as a rural earthen cave.

Soon, Elder Liu descended before a massive, bottomless canyon.

This was the "Spirit Beast Ravine," where Beast Taming Peak specifically kept their mounts.

Elder Liu untied his cloth bag and released the Light God Demon Tiger.

"Beast, get in there."

Elder Liu pointed toward the canyon, which was shrouded by a semi-transparent formation.

"Once you enter this Spirit Beast Ravine, you are the private property of my Primordial branch sect."

"Learn the rules inside well, and do not collide with the disciples who come to select their mounts."

With that, Elder Liu casually cast a spell.

The formation split open, and the Light God Demon Tiger hesitated for a moment before obediently stepping inside.
