A quarter of an hour later.
The jungle clearing was in ruins.
With a thunderous impact, Ye Xuan clashed again with the giant beast opposite him, the Dark Nether Demonic Tiger, which was dozens of feet tall. This time, however, Ye Xuan, crackling with lightning, remained unmoved, while the Dark Nether Demonic Tiger, baring its teeth, was sent flying hundreds of feet away.
Along its path, earth and stones erupted, and trees snapped!
"How is this possible!!"
The Dark Nether Demonic Tiger's pupils widened, filled with shock and disbelief. It stared at the ant hundreds of feet away, "That human... is so strong!"
"With such power, he is at least... Yan Yang Double Heaven, or even stronger!!"
Finally, the Dark Nether Demonic Tiger offered a fair assessment, and this was without even using its full cultivation. If it were to unleash its full power...
At this thought, the Dark Nether Demonic Tiger shuddered!
Ye Xuan, his battle intent dissipating, looked at the Dark Nether Demonic Tiger with satisfaction. "Your strength is commendable. Why not return to the Xuan Alliance with me?"
Upon hearing this, the Dark Nether Demonic Tiger's tiger eyes were filled with wariness. Its ancestral memories told it that humans were cunning creatures!
"Ding! Congratulations to the host for successfully exchanging for the [Chaos Demonic Tiger Canon]. Consumed 100 million Ziwei Coins from the host!"
Even as it clashed with the Dark Nether Demonic Tiger, Ye Xuan had already conceived the idea of subduing it. He then browsed the system mall for the most powerful tiger clan cultivation techniques, with the [Chaos Demonic Tiger Canon] being the strongest.
"Impossible!"
The Dark Nether Demonic Tiger refused without a second thought, knowing too well the treacherous nature of the human world.
"Is that so."
Seeing the Dark Nether Demonic Tiger's immediate refusal, Ye Xuan didn't react excessively, merely smiling slightly. That smile, however, caused the Dark Nether Demonic Tiger, which had lived for countless years, to feel a prickle of fear. Its heart immediately leaped into its throat, for it understood that if it were to fight to the death, it would undoubtedly be the one to lose.
"Have you... ever heard of the Chaos Demonic Tiger?"
A casual remark, yet it caused the Dark Nether Demonic Tiger's entire body to tremble. "You actually know of the Chaos Demonic Tiger!?"
Clearly, the Dark Nether Demonic Tiger was astonished at this moment.
After all!
The Chaos Demonic Tiger had vanished long before the Primordial Chaos period. From their bloodline memories, their ancestors, along with those of the White Tiger and other divine beast clans, were the Chaos Demonic Tigers.
Ye Xuan curved his lips, flipped his right hand, and a jade slip appeared. "Since you know of the Chaos Demonic Tiger, you must also know of the Chaos Demonic Tiger Canon."
Immediately, Ye Xuan formed hand seals, and on the jade slip, ancient tiger script from before the Primordial Chaos, profound and mysterious, appeared.
"What!"
Looking at the information on the profound jade slip, the Dark Nether Demonic Tiger's pupils suddenly contracted. "This is... the Chaos Demonic Tiger Canon!!"
There was no way the tiger script from before the Chaos era in its bloodline memory could be false. Thus, the jade slip before it must contain the cultivation technique practiced by their tiger clan's progenitor.
If it were to cultivate this technique, it would undoubtedly awaken its Chaos Demonic Tiger bloodline in the future and eventually transform into a Chaos Demonic Tiger. At that point, its achievements would be a thousand, even ten thousand, times greater than now!
"As long as you agree to guard my Xuan Alliance, I will bestow this cultivation technique upon you. How about it?"
With gentle persuasion, Ye Xuan spoke calmly. "You should consider it carefully, after all... in the boundless territories, there are not a few tiger clan experts stronger than you."
"This..."
Upon hearing Ye Xuan's words, the Dark Nether Demonic Tiger fell silent. The reason for its silence was that Ye Xuan was correct. The endless territories were vast, and even it could not find their end, let alone know how many supreme tiger clan experts were hidden within such a vast expanse.
For a time, an unprecedented silence fell upon the scene!
Seeing this, Ye Xuan was confident and watched the Dark Nether Demonic Tiger opposite him, patiently awaiting its decision, not urging it.
One breath!
Five breaths! Ten breaths!!
After about thirty breaths, the Dark Nether Demonic Tiger, weighing the pros and cons, its tiger eyes grew resolute. "Good!"
"I agree to go to the Xuan Alliance with you!"
Clearly, tempted by the [Chaos Demonic Tiger Canon], the Dark Nether Demonic Tiger agreed, as the allure was simply too great.
"To show my sincerity, I can form a Heavenly Dao contract!"
The Dark Nether Demonic Tiger was decisive. It immediately formed a Heavenly Dao contract with its divine sense. Such a contract could not be betrayed; if the Dark Nether Demonic Tiger were to break it in the future, it would face heavenly punishment.
At that point, annihilation of the soul would be considered light!
However, for the Chaos Demonic Tiger Canon, it was all worth it~~
"Hehe, very good."
With the Heavenly Dao contract established, Ye Xuan's face broke into a brilliant smile. This meant that from this day forward, the Dark Nether Demonic Tiger would be bound to the Xuan Alliance for life, its soul immortal, its contract enduring.
"Welcome to the Xuan Alliance!"
Ye Xuan's lips curved upwards, and he then tossed the [Chaos Demonic Tiger Canon] to the Dark Nether Demonic Tiger. To others, it might be priceless, but to Ye Xuan, it was merely 100 million Ziwei Coins, so he naturally didn't treasure it excessively.
"Greetings, Alliance Leader!"
The Dark Nether Demonic Tiger flickered and transformed into the appearance of a burly middle-aged man. It bowed slightly to Ye Xuan, clearly accepting its new identity.
"Alliance Leader, please wait a moment while I refine the jade slip."
Next, the Dark Nether Demonic Tiger dripped a drop of its essence blood onto the jade slip. This was the method to activate the jade slip. This jade slip could only be opened by direct descendants of the Chaos Demonic Tiger, and the activation conditions were extremely strict. Fortunately, the Dark Nether Demonic Tiger was barely qualified.
Following that, a bright light entered the Dark Nether Demonic Tiger's brow, and a mystical power then enveloped its body, as if it were undergoing a baptism.
"What a marvelous Chaos Demonic Tiger Canon!?"
The Dark Nether Demonic Tiger felt incredibly comfortable. At the same time, its aura quietly reached the peak of Yan Yang First Heaven, and it continued to grow stronger at a visible rate...
"Oh?"
"It seems the Chaos Demonic Tiger Canon is more extraordinary than imagined."
Sensing the energy gathering around it, Ye Xuan flipped his right hand and summoned ten billion top-grade Saint Crystals, which appeared around the Dark Nether Demonic Tiger, effectively 'engulfing' it. The Dark Nether Demonic Tiger's divine sense, upon probing, naturally understood what was happening.
In an instant, its impression of Ye Xuan improved considerably.
Ten billion top-grade Saint Crystals were no small resource even for it!
Half a day later.
Buzz~~
A sound rippled from the clearing. The next moment, a powerful aura spread out. At this moment, the Dark Nether Demonic Tiger had reached the absolute peak of Yan Yang First Heaven, and its bloodline had also been elevated to an unknown extent.
"Good things come in pairs. Let me lend another hand!"
Now that they were allies, Ye Xuan naturally wouldn't be stingy. He flipped his hand and took out a [Yang Breaking Pill]. "Demonic Tiger Guardian, taking this pill will undoubtedly help you break through to Yan Yang Second Heaven in one go!"
"Thank you, Alliance Leader!"
Although it didn't know what the pill in its hand was, judging by the fragrance it emitted, it was undoubtedly extraordinary. It immediately consumed it, and the Dark Nether Demonic Tiger's destiny became even more different~~
