They intended to make a desperate last stand, using the cultivators and Demon Beasts in the hunting ground to reshape their bodies. Afterward, they would refine this heavenly spiritual material and use the ancient Western Saint's method of ascending to heaven, gathering the power of the Western Beasts to break into the Profound Insight realm before fleeing far away.
According to their original plan, if not for the unexpected variable of Yang Yuanhong appearing to stir things up, they might truly have had a chance of succeeding.
But now, the evil tiger's remnant soul had been slain by Ye Chenfeng, famed as a sword immortal, while its divine sense had been directly dragged into the Divine Palace by Chen Yang.
With one of the Western Beasts missing, the Western Saint's method of ascending to heaven was doomed to fail.
After viewing the evil tiger's memories, Chen Yang understood the whole story.
"Such a formidable divine-sense spirit body would be rather wasteful to kill outright with a divine art. Hmm... how should I deal with it?"
Having seen the evil tiger's memories and learned what kind of creature it was, Chen Yang had even less intention of sparing its life.
Just as he was considering how to dispose of it, ripples suddenly came from a seat nearby.
"Oh? Blood Sun?"
Turning his head, Chen Yang saw the dark-red blood cocoon on the stone chair beside him glowing in pulses.
He immediately sent his thoughts into it and received Blood Sun's Thought Transmission.
"Hungry... food... eat..."
Those three simple words were enough for Chen Yang to understand.
"So this is what you eat!"
Chen Yang suddenly realized. Previously, he had tried feeding the Blood Sun hatchling all kinds of spiritual materials, but it had only ever consumed divine power and evil energy.
