The Stars Beyond

Chapter 337: Stronger Than The Demon Ancestor

With his blood dripping black longsword and heavy armor, Wang Xuan quickly took a step back.

He looked again and stared carefully at the plump White Tiger. Its furry appearance and the pair of round eyes seemed familiar, as if he had just seen it yesterday.

Wang Xuan's eyes widened as he realized the White Tiger was not a crazed beast of this New World, but an old friend.

Meeting her here was truly unbelievable. They were reunited in a familiar manner and with him giving her a blow on the buttocks just like before .

The True Immortal White Tiger's fur bristled like she was about to explode on the spot. She knew exactly what he was thinking when their eyes met. She swiped down with her claw.

Boom!

Wang Xuan dodged the attack like a ghost. The mountainside exploded, leaving a huge crater in the shape of a tiger's claw.

The True Immortal White Tiger leaped hundreds of meters, transforming into a white light as it pursued him.

Today's surprise attack made her blood boil. It was too miserable and shameful. With the fact that it was him that injured the True Immortal White Tiger again!

She had long been settled into her human form. It was only today that she transformed into her true form, hoping to use her innate pressure to intimidate various crazed beasts. However, the tragic history repeated itself once again.

Upon recognizing her, Wang Xuan didn't waste any words. He merged with the Godslaying Banner. If he could kill her, he would; if he couldn't, he would escape.

His mind was clear. The White Tiger was extremely formidable, as it single-handedly took down three crazed beasts of the Wanderer level. He needed further improvement with his current state.

The impression the True Immortal White Tiger had of him couldn't be worse. Back then, she had been stabbed by him on the buttocks in the inner landscape. Following that, in the Land of the Departed, he tricked and took a piece of Peerless Medicinal Soil from her. With the same thing happening again, she was filled with frustration.

"Raaaa......" She growled fiercely. Her body glowed as the white tiger's form disappeared, transforming back into a round-faced young girl. She continued her pursuit with this more agile form.

Wang Xuan dodged at extreme speed while keeping his eyes on her.

After transforming into a human, she had a beautiful appearance, with a round face and big eyes. Despite her tiger-like features, she was pretty cute. Besides, that roaring sound she made was quite unique.

"Aren’t we already old acquaintances? You should stop the bleeding first. With your current appearance, people who don't know might think I've done something to you," Wang Xuan said, feeling quite frustrated about having to deal with her. The difference in their realms was quite substantial.

Hearing those words, the round-faced girl flared with anger, almost setting her hair on fire. Even more infuriated, she launched another attack.

Boom!

The sound of the explosion echoed in the sky. Using the Godslaying Banner, Wang Xuan streaked away like a comet and landed on a mountain several miles away.

The round-faced girl gritted her teeth, but abruptly halted. Who was she? She was none other than the illustrious High Immortal White Tiger, a trusted aide of the Demon Lord. she would be too ashamed to show her face if she were seen like this and word got out.

She glanced back and almost went mad. There was a deep wound visible down her left buttock. It was drenched in blood.

Though the blow only grazed her at the time, the sharpness of the blade and the terrifying impact from the extreme speed would have left anyone else without a lower body, exploding into a mist of blood.

Yet it was the dignified High Immortal White Tiger, who managed to evade at the critical moment, saving her body from even more damage.

Even so, it was a tremendous humiliation for her white clothes to be stained with blood, and her buttocks wounded. She had hardly ever experienced such a thing in her life, and this person had dealt the same attack to her twice.

What infuriated her most was that the task given to her by the Demon Lord didn't involve killing this person. After calming down a bit, she realized she couldn't act right now.

"Owwww......" the round-faced girl cried out in anger. Not only was she injured on her buttock, but it was also frustrating being unable to retaliate when she was bloodied by the ruthless attack.

"This is so frustrating!" scolded the girl. For a moment, she had thought of disobeying the order of the Demon Lord

Half an hour later, the two sat by the fire. It was a rather eerie scene as both of them faced each other across the flames.

The round-faced girl had stopped the bleeding. She changed into her White Tiger Battle Gown, which concealed her disheveled appearance. However, her gaze remained hostile and vicious when looking at Wang Xuan.

Wang Xuan was deeply surprised. The White Tiger stopped her attack and started talking to him. The atmosphere was relatively harmonious, at least there was no immediate brawl.

The round-faced girl was truly conflicted. To think she had to get along peacefully with this human, with long-term cooperation in consideration. In the short term, she needed his help.

"Have you already formed your Spiritual Eye?" she asked unhappily. This man was so extraordinary, it only made her feel more frustrated.

"Yes, I didn’t spy on you," Wang Xuan said cautiously.

"The Demon Lord is broad-minded and hasn't paid much attention to your disrespect and provocations in the past. This time......" the White Tiger organized her words to explain the situation.

The red-clothed demoness had issued a bounty. Whether it was the supreme scriptures or the highest-level spiritual realm elixirs, everything could be negotiated.

This was truly extravagant, unprecedented extravagance. Wang Xuan immediately became vigilant. It was certainly not going to be an easy task given the grand reward.

"A long time ago, two people borrowed the highest-level spiritual realm from The Great Veil, possibly wanting to escape from this strange place where space and time merges. Keep an eye out with your Spiritual Eye, see if there are any traces left. Although they may have died on the way, what if there's still remnants of them? There will be a hefty reward for you if you find any clue."

The round-faced girl quickly finished her sentence with reluctance. She had no intention to deal with this person. If she had a choice, she would only want to rip him apart with her teeth.

Wang Xuan's heart stirred. He had heard about the origins of the red-clothed demoness from the Female Sword Immortal. Her father was an extremely powerful practitioner, and her mother, a twelve-tailed celestial fox who disappeared after entering the immortal realm, was even more formidable.

Could the two people she was looking for be her parents? Wang Xuan immediately became alert. It would be somewhat terrifying if two older immortals, who should have long been dead, were still alive.

"Hey, are you even listening to me?" The True Immortal White Tiger said with displeasure as Wang Xuan seemed to be lost in thought.

"Who knows if you're telling the truth, or if those two people even exist. Besides, that demoness has targeted me in various ways before. You wouldn't want me to walk right into her trap, would you?" responded Wang Xuan.

"What demoness? She's the Demon Lord, the number one expert of the demon clan that surpassed the Demon Ancestor Qi Yi," the round-faced girl corrected, adding, "Didn't you boast about making the Demon Lord dance for you? You’re at fault for provoking extraordinary experts one after another."

"She provoked me first." replied Wang Xuan.

The True Immortal White Tiger sneered, "I knew you wouldn't accept it. The Demon Lord said that she has incarnated into a mortal body and is currently grasping the immortal method. She's giving you a chance to go find her. She's willing to bet with you using her mortal body. If you win, she'll willingly dance the extraordinary immortal dance for you. If you lose, hmmmm......"

"Where is she then?" Wang Xuan asked.

"Xiong Mountain!" The round-faced girl looked at him disdainfully, then said, "Stupid man, you wouldn't really want to foolishly go looking for the Demon Lord, would you?"

Wang Xuan gripped his black longsword, resisting the urge to stab her on the other side of her buttocks.

......

......

In the distance, Demon Four sat with closed eyes. Suddenly, he rose to his feet with a loud bang, then slammed his fist into the bonfire before striding into the flames.

In an instant, scriptures filled the sky, piles of burning papers exuded a terrifying aura as they floated up. There were also large pieces of fragments glowing, seemingly tearing apart the heavens and earth!

People that were watching nearby were all startled and retreated as they were afraid to approach. They were shocked to see someone slamming the mysterious bonfire like this. As those were possibly the remnants of a vanished civilization, the traces of the Great Tao!

Swoosh!

Suddenly, a golden light descended from the sky like a falling star from the heavens, crashing onto the earth with immense force. It was incredibly stunning.

"That...... is that the Three-Legged Golden Crow?!" Someone exclaimed in shock. To witness such a terrifying divine bird here was astonishing. It was one of the strongest races of the demon clan, one of the five great royal clans.

Rumor had it that the Demon Ancestor Qi Yi might possibly be of the race of the Golden Crow.

The Golden Crow stirred up a sea of demonic clouds as it swooped down towards Demon Four. It was far stronger than the golden elephant and the snow-white lion that Demon Four had crushed with his bare hands!

Many ninth-level experts were horrified. Their scalps were tingling, their minds trembling. They felt that even if everyone joined forces, they were no match for the Golden Crow. Even the transcendent-level individuals gasped and turned away, realizing they were far inferior.

"Exactly what I needed, a mount. Your timing is perfect. Even if you're a mad bird, I'll take you!" Demon Four raised his head abruptly, leaped out of the flames and charged upward into the sky, striking towards the Golden Crow with just one hand.

Boom!

A fierce battle erupted here.

Like a golden light, the Golden Crow soared and moved like lightning. It was too fast. It assaulted the youth on the ground, as if he was traversing the heavens and earth.

Though Demon Four appeared delicate and gentle, his strength was outrageously powerful. He blocked the Golden Crow’s attack with just one hand.

In the end, a mournful cry echoed through the air as the Golden Crow with the bloodline of the demon emperor was firmly pressed to the ground by the handsome young man.

"How is this possible? Demon Four’s strength is outrageous, he might even be stronger than the Demon Ancestor in his youth!" Several transcendent-level experts exclaimed, with their pupils contracting as they retreated, leaving the scene.

In the distance, Zhou Qinghuang, outfitted with shorts, a white shirt, and glasses, exuded an intellectual aura. Realizing the situation, she swiftly took off her glasses, revealing a wild side. She felt troubled; she was the one that lured the Golden Crow, but it ended up becoming the mount of another person!

"Zhou Qinghuang, you better hide well. Don't let me catch you!" Demon Four suppressed the Golden Crow with one hand, then looked towards the horizon.

Zhou Qinghuang quickly left the area, feeling that few could match Demon Four’s strength. She muttered to herself, "Where is that Wang Xuan?"

......

......

Qi Chengdao entered a rugged area where sword marks and arrow holes were everywhere. It showed signs of being struck by the Great Tao. Chaos energy permeated the air, and the light of immortality passed through, indicating it was no ordinary place.

Despite the immense pressure, he immediately sat down and started contemplating here. His attendant stood not far away, nervously watching over him.

After a long time, Ming Xi walked to a place not far from him and closed her eyes. She used her mind to connect with the traces of heaven and earth here, contemplating the Tao and herself.

In a thunderous area, the Blood God Ape stared at the lightning and rushed towards the deepest part, where he saw a dazzling pool of blood mist.

He immediately grinned and said, "Pool of Undying Blood, help me cultivate the Undying Demon Body!"

With a splash, he plunged in. When he emerged, his fur was stripped, his bloody flesh revealed, it was a gruesome sight. However, he gritted his teeth and laughed.

"The Banner of Severance, the Godslaying Banner, where are my treasures?" said Qi Lian, the second son of the Demon Ancestor. Roaming this new world, his deep eyes showed his purpose here, while carrying a faint killing intent.
