White Tiger Clan and Explosive Bear Clan

Time in the Primordial Wilderness was truly worthless. In the blink of an eye, Yuan Tian had been separated from Pang Heng for nearly a hundred years. A century had already washed away Yuan Tian's sorrow at parting. During those hundred years, Yuan Tian had not encountered any major events. After all, although the three clans of the Primordial Wilderness now harbored ambitions of domination, they did not yet possess the strength to dominate the Primordial Wilderness. Thus, the Primordial Wilderness remained relatively peaceful for now, with only minor disputes and wars occurring. That day, Yuan Tian rode a cloud, drifting lightly through the sky, while a small-scale battle unfolded beneath him. Naturally, Yuan Tian was not one of the main players in this battle. He did not participate this time, merely watching as a spectator and experiencing the fervent passion of ancient warfare.

One side wore white armor and wielded identical war blades. Their leader had actually reached the Great Luo Realm. Though he was only a Zenith Heaven Loose Immortal, he was already the first person Yuan Tian had encountered in the Primordial Wilderness whose cultivation had reached the Great Luo Realm. This filled Yuan Tian with curiosity. What could have caused an expert at the Zenith Heaven Loose Immortal level to be deployed? Zenith Heaven Loose Immortals could already be considered experts in the current Primordial Wilderness, high-end combat power that would not normally be dispatched lightly. Most of them cultivated within their respective clans, seeking to break through to higher realms. This was also why Pang Heng had not been killed despite being pursued by the Dragon Clan: no Great Luo Realm expert had ever joined the pursuit, allowing Pang Heng to preserve his life. Otherwise, even ten lives would not have been enough for Pang Heng to lose, much less for him to later kill his opponent, Dragon Eighth.

Yuan Tian could not help becoming interested in that Zenith Heaven Loose Immortal and wanted to know which race he belonged to. The Primordial Wilderness was still mainly dominated by racial powers. This situation would not be broken until the Human Clan ruled the Primordial Wilderness alone. Although there were also loose immortals in the Primordial Wilderness, they were ultimately few in number. The current situation was clearly a war between groups or races.

Yuan Tian used his innate divine ability, the Star Illusion Extinction Eye, once more to examine their origins. His main target was the Zenith Heaven Loose Immortal below him, though he also took the opportunity to inspect the origins of both sides.

The information provided by the Star Illusion Extinction Eye revealed that those wearing white armor belonged to the White Tiger Clan, one of the three strongest races besides the Dragon Clan, Phoenix Clan, and Qilin Clan. The Dragon Clan, Phoenix Clan, Qilin Clan, White Tiger Clan, Vermilion Bird Clan, and Black Tortoise Clan were known as the six great races of the Primordial Wilderness. If the Dragon Clan, Phoenix Clan, and Qilin Clan were called the three great overlords and imperial clans of the Primordial Wilderness, then the White Tiger Clan, Vermilion Bird Clan, and Black Tortoise Clan could absolutely be called royal clans. From this, one could see just how powerful the White Tiger Clan, Vermilion Bird Clan, and Black Tortoise Clan were. Since the White Tiger Clan had dispatched a Zenith Heaven Loose Immortal along with so many experts from its clan, their opponent was clearly no simple foe either.

The other side in this battle consisted of men all over two meters tall, truly towering and broad-built. Compared with the White Tiger Clan members, they clearly held the advantage in height. They all wore gray armor and wielded long spiked maces. Yes, spiked maces—just looking at those weapons made one's scalp tingle. From the information given by the Star Illusion Extinction Eye, Yuan Tian learned that these burly men belonged to the Explosive Bear Clan.

The Explosive Bear Clan was absolutely a powerful race in the Primordial Wilderness. If all the races of the Primordial Wilderness were ranked, the Explosive Bear Clan would certainly place within the top twelve. Their only regret was that they had too few members, even fewer than the White Tiger Clan, which was likewise famed for its small population. That was why the Explosive Bear Clan could not stand alongside the three clans of the White Tiger Clan, Vermilion Bird Clan, and Black Tortoise Clan. But neither were they soft persimmons for anyone to knead at will—not even if their opponent was the White Tiger Clan.

The Explosive Bear Clan possessed a racial talent: the Berserk Skill. Once the Berserk Skill was activated, an Explosive Bear Clan member's strength could temporarily rise by one level. Though it would leave them weak all over for a period afterward, what did that matter? Such a side effect was nothing at all. So what if their entire bodies became weak? They could simply treat it as resting. If they could temporarily raise their cultivation by one level during battle,

then it could very likely determine victory or defeat. As long as they could kill their opponent, what did such a side effect matter? At this moment, the leader of the Explosive Bear Clan was a Primordial Unity Golden Immortal, while the rest of their members were not much different from the White Tiger Clan's forces. On the surface, the White Tiger Clan held the upper hand, but in reality, they were in grave danger. If the Primordial Unity Golden Immortal of the Explosive Bear Clan used the Berserk Skill, he could temporarily raise his cultivation to that of a Zenith Heaven Loose Immortal. Though he could not defeat the White Tiger Clan expert, holding him back for a time would not be a problem. Once that White Tiger Clan expert was restrained, the other Explosive Bear Clan members could seize the chance to use the Berserk Skill, temporarily raising their own strength by one level and completely wiping out all White Tiger Clan members apart from that Zenith Heaven Loose Immortal. Finally, the Explosive Bear Clan could gather their remaining members to besiege that Zenith Heaven Loose Immortal. Even if they could not kill him, seriously wounding him would not be a problem.

And indeed, just as Yuan Tian had predicted, the Explosive Bear Clan caught the White Tiger Clan off guard and activated their Berserk Skills one after another, temporarily raising their cultivation. In an instant, they slaughtered every White Tiger Clan member except that White Tiger Clan expert. After a desperate battle, the White Tiger Clan's Zenith Heaven Loose Immortal fled with grievous injuries.

In this small-scale battle between the White Tiger Clan and the Explosive Bear Clan, the White Tiger Clan suffered "total annihilation," while the Explosive Bear Clan won at the cost of eleven clan members.

Yuan Tian had not participated in this battle from beginning to end. He had not shown himself, much less tried to stop either side. Yuan Tian knew that such things were simply too common in the Primordial Wilderness, capable of happening almost at any time. He could not possibly manage them all, nor could he manage them at all. If Yuan Tian showed himself, both sides might attack him before he even spoke a word. That would be nothing but having eaten his fill and gone looking for trouble. It was better to help neither side and let them fight on their own. He would simply treat it as watching a live immortal-xia adventure battle blockbuster.

Now that the White Tiger Clan's Zenith Heaven Loose Immortal had fled, only the Explosive Bear Clan members remained. Of course, these Explosive Bear Clan members likely no longer had the strength to fight. There was no helping it—they had used the Berserk Skill. That was the price of using it. Thus, their most urgent task was to leave this place as quickly as possible. Otherwise, if any expert happened to arrive, he could kill them all with ease.

As the White Tiger Clan and Explosive Bear Clan members departed one after another, only Yuan Tian remained. The main characters had all left, so what was the point of Yuan Tian staying behind? He could only continue with his unfinished business.
