White Tiger Clan and Explosive Bear Clan

Time in the Primordial Wilderness was truly worthless. In the blink of an eye, Yuan Tian and Pang Heng had been apart for nearly a hundred years. A century had already washed away Yuan Tian's sorrow at parting. During those hundred years, he had encountered nothing major. After all, although the three great clans of the Primordial Wilderness harbored ambitions of domination, they did not yet possess the strength to rule the entire land. Thus, the Primordial Wilderness was still relatively peaceful, with only minor disputes and wars. On this day, Yuan Tian rode a cloud, drifting lightly through the sky, while below him a small-scale battle was unfolding. Naturally, Yuan Tian was not one of the main players in this battle. He had not participated, merely watching as a spectator and getting a taste of the fiery passion of ancient warfare.

One side wore white armor and wielded identical war blades. Their leader had actually reached the Great Luo Realm. Although he was merely a Zenith Heaven Loose Immortal, he was the first person Yuan Tian had encountered in the Primordial Wilderness whose cultivation had reached the Great Luo Realm. Yuan Tian was immensely curious. What could have required the deployment of an expert at the Zenith Heaven Loose Immortal level? Zenith Heaven Loose Immortals could already be called experts in the current Primordial Wilderness, high-end combat power that would not normally be sent out lightly. Most of them cultivated within their respective clans, seeking to break through to even higher realms. That was also why Pang Heng had not been killed despite being pursued by the Dragon Clan for so long: no Great Luo Realm expert had joined the pursuit. Otherwise, even ten lives would not have been enough for Pang Heng to lose, much less leave him capable of later killing 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. That 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. This was clearly a war between groups or races.

Yuan Tian once again used his innate divine ability, the Star Illusion Extinction Eye, intending to examine the other party's origins. Its main target was the Zenith Heaven Loose Immortal below him, though he also checked the origins of both sides in passing.

The information provided by the Star Illusion Extinction Eye revealed that the warriors in white armor belonged to one of the three strongest races outside the Dragon-Phoenix-Qilin Tribes: the White Tiger 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 alone, one could see how powerful those three clans were. Since the White Tiger Clan had deployed a Zenith Heaven Loose Immortal along with many experts from its clan, their opponent was clearly no simple foe either.

The other side's fighters were all over two meters tall, truly towering and broad-bodied. Compared with the White Tiger Clan members, they held an obvious advantage in height. They all wore gray armor and carried long spiked clubs. That was right—spiked clubs. Just looking at those weapons made one's scalp tingle. From the information provided by the Star Illusion Extinction Eye, Yuan Tian learned that these hulking 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 famous for its sparse population. That was why the Explosive Bear Clan could not stand alongside the White Tiger Clan and the other two clans, but they were no soft persimmons for others to squeeze at will. Not even the White Tiger Clan could do so.

The Explosive Bear Clan possessed a racial talent: the Berserk Skill. Once activated, it could temporarily raise an Explosive Bear Clan member's strength by one level. Although it left them weak all over for a period afterward, what did that matter? Such a side effect was nothing at all. Being weak all over was simply rest. If one could temporarily raise one's cultivation by a level in battle—

—then it could very likely decide victory or defeat. As long as they could kill their opponents, what was this tiny side effect worth? At that moment, the Explosive Bear Clan's leader was an expert at the Primordial Unity Golden Immortal level, while the rest of their forces were not much different from the White Tiger Clan's. On the surface, the White Tiger Clan held the advantage, but was that truly the case? The White Tiger Clan was actually in considerable 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 while would not be a problem. Once that White Tiger Clan expert was restrained, the other Explosive Bear Clan members could seize the opportunity to use the Berserk Skill and temporarily raise their strength by one level. They could then completely wipe out every White Tiger Clan member 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, heavily wounding him would not be difficult.

And indeed, just as Yuan Tian had expected, the Explosive Bear Clan caught the White Tiger Clan off guard and activated their Berserk Skills one after another, temporarily increasing their cultivation. In no time, they slaughtered every White Tiger Clan member except their expert. After a desperate battle, the White Tiger Clan's Zenith Heaven Loose Immortal fled with grave 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 claimed victory at the cost of eleven clan members.

Throughout the entire battle, Yuan Tian neither participated nor showed himself, much less tried to stop either side. He knew that such things were simply too common in the Primordial Wilderness, liable to happen at almost any time. He could neither manage them all nor intervene in them all. If Yuan Tian showed himself, both sides might attack him before he even said a word. That would be nothing but being full and idle, looking for trouble when there was none. It was better to help neither side and let them fight it out. He could simply treat it as a live-action immortal fantasy battle spectacle.

Now that the White Tiger Clan's Zenith Heaven Loose Immortal had escaped, only the Explosive Bear Clan members remained. Of course, those Explosive Bear Clan members likely no longer had the strength to fight. It could not be helped—who told them to use the Berserk Skill? That was the price of using it. Their most urgent task was to leave this place quickly. Otherwise, any random expert who came along could kill them all.

As the White Tiger Clan and Explosive Bear Clan members departed one after another, Yuan Tian was the only one left behind. The main characters had all gone. What point was there in keeping Yuan Tian there? He could only continue with his unfinished business.
