Chapter 0384 – White Tiger Rampage

The red-furred ape leaped forward, flames erupting from its body. It looked like a colossal fireball blazing through the sky. Wherever it went, savage beasts were directly crushed or ignited by the fire, screaming in agony as their bodies were reduced to ashes. The flames carried immense power and Daoist resonance, capable of incinerating everything.

It resembled a demonic deity of fire, set to burn the world to cinders.

A crimson cloud of fire billowed in its wake.

Its aura was so terrifying that many civilians on the city wall turned pale, their faces twisted in fear. Roars rang out again and again, shaking the clouds and sky. In the void, waves of baleful clouds surged and shattered, only to regroup again.

Even many cultivators at the Divine Sea Realm could feel an almost suffocating pressure just from facing this crimson-furred ape.

"Courting death!!"

Yi Tianxing's eyes flashed coldly.

With a flash of light in his hand, he once again drew his bow. This time, he pulled out only a single war arrow—but the arrow intent he infused into it exuded a sharp and deadly aura, filled with overwhelming killing intent.

Whoosh!!

The arrow soared through the air. As it did, it naturally emitted a dazzling golden light.

This arrow was unlike any before.

As it cut through the sky, a tiger's roar echoed from it. The golden light instantly transformed into a lifelike White Tiger, complete with a pair of fleshy wings on its back. The surrounding baleful aura and elemental energy surged into it like a tide. As it flew, it visibly swelled in size, growing within mere breaths into a massive beast over ten zhang tall.

A tremendous White Tiger, its entire body wreathed in dense killing intent, its aura so sharp it seemed to tear through space itself.

Like a divine beast descending from the heavens, it instantly appeared before the red-furred ape. With a single swipe of its paw, it slashed toward the ape.

Clang!!

The ape was clearly unprepared for a war arrow to morph into a divine White Tiger charging straight at it. Yet it reacted swiftly, swinging its iron staff to strike the tiger. The paw and staff collided—sparks burst forth, and the tiger's claw, infused with metallic gold energy and baleful might, forcibly knocked the staff away.

Crack!!

Another paw struck straight at the ape's heart, tearing through its flesh and ripping out a massive heart, which was instantly crushed into pulp. The tiger pounced again, knocking the ape to the ground, its jaws snapping toward its throat.

The ape was no fool. Sensing the deadly pressure from the White Tiger, it instinctively erupted in crimson flames, turning the surroundings into a sea of fire, trying to incinerate the tiger entirely. It thrust its iron staff violently at the tiger's belly.

Crack!!

The flames engulfed the White Tiger, and its glowing form began to dissipate. But even as it faded, it bit down ferociously on the ape's throat, tearing off a massive chunk of flesh. With its heart crushed and throat shredded, the ape was on the verge of death.

Awoooo!!

The White Tiger stood atop the red ape's corpse, letting out a thunderous roar. Baleful aura surged around it, streaks of metallic golden energy slicing through the air.

And then, its form completely dissolved into the void.

All that remained was the giant corpse of the red-furred ape, lying cold and lifeless. Blood gushed out as its vitality rapidly faded.

"What was that? That was a war arrow? Our Lord clearly shot out an arrow, yet it turned into a divine beast White Tiger and outright killed that red ape!"

"That's not mere archery anymore. That's the Dao of Archery. Manifesting a divine beast from an arrow—what terrifying power! What kind of technique is that?!"

"That White Tiger was terrifying. Its strength alone crushed a second-tier king-class beast. That killing aura, that fierce assault—it was like a real divine White Tiger in battle!"

Everyone on the city wall—soldiers and civilians alike—gasped in shock.

They never imagined a true king-class beast would be shot down before even reaching the wall. The sight was unbelievable—absolutely overwhelming.

"Glory to the Lord!!"

"Our Lord is mighty! Mighty!!"

The soldiers erupted into wild cheers.

Soon, all of Xuanhuang Town joined in, chanting in fervent unison.

The gazes cast toward Yi Tianxing burned with admiration and awe, their reverence growing ever deeper.

"What incredible archery. That's a true killing technique."

Even Mu Guiying couldn't help showing astonishment and a bit of fanaticism.

She had practiced archery herself, but her arrows flew straightforwardly. Yi Tianxing's arrows could manifest divine beasts—this exceeded her understanding of what archery could be. She had never even imagined such a possibility.

And the power was terrifying—decisively killing a second-tier king-class beast in a single shot.

"I'm already a cultivator at the Life Orifice Realm, equivalent to a second-tier beast. Killing the red ape isn't something to be proud of," Yi Tianxing took a deep breath, his expression calm and without arrogance.

This was the combat power he was expected to have.

This arrow unleashed the supreme arrow intent from the "Four Symbols Celestial Archery Canon".

Over the past four months, he had not wasted time. Every day, he set aside a portion of time to enter the Heavenly Ascension Pavilion, using its power to reverse time and accelerate his training. He constantly meditated on the Four Symbols Celestial Archery Canon's divine beast diagrams, gradually forming the arrow intents of the Four Symbols and merging them into his Archery Dao sigil.

The archery canon was indeed a supreme technique. Meditating on it was immensely difficult—before the divine beasts, the mind felt puny. Each visualization brought intense mental pressure, causing the spirit to nearly collapse. Yi Tianxing spent months tempering his mind under that pressure until he could withstand the beasts' auras.

Fortunately, he cultivated the "Imperial Dragon Celestial Canon", had already opened the Sea of Consciousness orifice, and developed strong spiritual power and willpower—only then did he manage to progress.

Even so, in over three months, he had only succeeded in manifesting the White Tiger arrow intent, and even that was still faint and unstable. It could vanish at any moment.

To strengthen it, he would need continuous meditation—and feed it through killing.

The arrow's immense power stemmed from three sources:– The incredible might of the Four Symbols Celestial Archery Canon– The power of the Falling Star Bow– And channeling an entire floor's worth of world energy from the Primordial Heavenly Emperor Pagoda into the arrow

With true essence, arrow intent, and divine tools fused—it would have been strange if the arrow wasn't devastating.

The red-furred ape never had the chance to reveal its true strength—killed in one strike.

Truly tragic.

Clang!!

A crisp sound echoed across the wall—the unsheathing of a blade.

Everyone instinctively looked up. In that moment, a crimson blade light, vast and awe-inspiring, tore across the void. It drew in surrounding elemental energy like a vortex, refining the blade's form into something sharp and tyrannical. In an instant, it slashed toward the Sword Dragon King on the battlefield.

Contained within the blade light was an extremely refined blade intent. It seemed to freeze the air and bind the energy around it.

"What terrifying blade intent… and that's the Draw Blade Technique! Gathering one's essence, spirit, and will—then exploding it in a single strike ten or even dozens of times stronger. That's fearsome. Given time to prepare, these users can slay above their realm. This strike already exceeds the limits of the Divine Sea Realm."

Yi Tianxing narrowed his eyes, silently admiring it.

The blade intent of annihilation, of cutting through all—was irresistible.

He couldn't help but anticipate how the Sword Dragon would respond.

Roar!!

As the blade descended, a tidal wave of death enveloped the Sword Dragon's mind. It roared defiantly, its eyes brimming with killing light.

In that instant, blood-red sword energy erupted from its body, forming a massive crimson battle sword. Sword light engulfed its form, turning its massive body into a living blade. One could even see fine sword-shaped scales gleaming with red divine light.

It rose skyward—now a sword in both shape and spirit.

And it clashed directly with the falling blade.

A sword strike followed—a wave of sword energy erupted in every direction, bursting forth like a heavenly flood. The battlefield itself seemed overwhelmed, dominated by the light of blade and sword.

BOOM!!

As the sword and blade collided, their energies swept across the battlefield. Countless surrounding beasts were torn apart, shredded into blood mist by the shockwaves. Waves of blood rolled like the tide, engulfing both the blade and sword...
