NOVPUBAt that time, members of the Luochong Tribe actually looked down upon the Tiger Tribe.
Even though the bloodlines between them were very similar, the Luochong Tribe always considered themselves to be a superior race.
And the Tiger Tribe was nothing more than the most ignorant and lowly of the beast races.
When the tiger passed by, it did not eat Bai Ze but took him into its den and began to raise him.
Bai Ze grew up day by day among the Tiger Tribe.
He always saw himself as a member of the Tiger Tribe too.
Ultimately, in a trial of the Tiger Tribe, he was recognized by an Ancient White Tiger and received its legacy.
For that inheritance, Bai Ze could be said to have endured an inconceivable amount of non-human torments.
He extracted each and every one of his own bones from his body and replaced them with those of the White Tiger.
He even changed his bloodline, habits, and way of life to that of a White Tiger’s standard.
After devoting himself to the Tiger Tribe’s cultivation for hundreds of years, he had already stepped into the Divine Vein Realm.
However, his reputation still remained inconspicuous.
What truly made him renowned was the final battle of the Luochong Tribe.
In the war over territory with another major race, the Luochong Tribe fell into a disadvantageous position.
In fact, everyone knew that whoever won that war would occupy the other’s territory.
In the end, they established a kingdom and became one of the various empires of the Northern Continent.
The battle raged on for a full ten years, and the Luochong Tribe had nearly run out of resources.
Later, Bai Ze came to know his own identity and led the Tiger Tribe from the Northern Continent to join the war.
He single-handedly fought against five Divine Vein Realm powerhouses.
And he killed four of them and severely injured one.
Only then did the Luochong Tribe manage a desperate counterattack and finally defeated that major race.
Here they established the Heaven Tiger Empire, which has become one of the thirty-six countries of today.
But after that battle, no matter what the Luochong Tribe promised, no matter the cost, they could not retain Bai Ze.
He resolutely left the Heaven Tiger Empire and started living a reclusive life.
The legend of him single-handedly battling five Divine Vein warriors began to spread widely.
In the end, people started calling such overwhelmingly strong warriors Divine Kings.
The title of White Divine King also became a monument to his legendary achievements.
...
Upon hearing Xu Zimei’s words, the elder in green clothes did not get angry.
He simply said indifferently, "The events of the past are, after all, just an exaggerated tale told by people.
The establishment of the Heaven Tiger Empire relied on not just the Divine King.
It also depended on the sacrifices and efforts of every single Luochong Tribe member."
"I’m not interested in that, but today I intend to leave, and you two won’t be able to stop me," Xu Zimei replied calmly.
The dark-haired man beside him glared at Xu Zimei, veins bulging on his forehead.
"Young man, you’re not very old, but you certainly don’t lack arrogance," the elder in green clothes said, shaking his head slightly.
He sat calmly on one side of the mountain wall, and at that moment, a torrent of Immortal Might surged around him and shot up into the sky.
It reached the clouds, and rocks began to tumble down from the side of the mountain wall.
The entire Heaven Hidden Valley started to shake.
The elder in green fixed his piercing gaze on Xu Zimei as the wind rose and clouds gathered in the firmament.
His figure suddenly became tall and towering, as if he were an insurmountable obstacle standing in front of Xu Zimei.
Xu Zimei glanced at him, at the Mysterious Immortal Realm, although he had stepped on the path of immortality not long ago.
But having stepped into immortality, he was definitely separated by a divide from the mortals.
He couldn’t be bothered to waste words with the elder and with a wave of his right hand, Chaos’s massive form stepped out of the void.
Chaos’s progress had been nothing short of remarkable in recent times.
Of course, this was largely thanks to Xu Zimei’s help.
Every martial artist, upon entering the path of immortality, must begin to contemplate the origins of the world.
To transcend, one must first understand what exactly it is they want to transcend.
This kind of enlightenment might be extremely difficult for others.
Because the World Origin is incredibly abstruse, and occasionally one can only glimpse a corner of it.
Each person proceeds with utmost caution amidst the obscuring mists.
But for Xu Zimei this wasn’t much of an issue, for he directly presented the World Origin of the Divine Continent before Chaos, allowing it to comprehend it.
There was no need to worry about struggling to find the origin, nor about any traps.
One could devote themselves entirely to comprehending the World Origin.
…
Although the world of Xu Zimei wasn’t considered complete at present.
The biggest issue was that the animal system had not been perfected, Taiying Youying and Taiyang Zuzhao had not merged.
Xu Zimei was still at a loss regarding Taiyang Zuzhao, a matter that could only be left to chance.
However, even such an imperfect World Origin was of great help to Chaos.
The cultivation practice of Chaos during this period had not only stabilized its state in the Mysterious Immortal Realm.
It even showed signs of advancing towards the Heavenly Immortal boundary.
When the massive body of Chaos appeared in the Heaven Hidden Valley, the potent beast might swept through the entire valley with a stormy onslaught.
Upon its landing, a "boom" resounded.
The ground began to shake, and countless cracks emerged beneath its feet.
Its body had grown more than twice its original size, its eyes a crimson red.
Hot white steam was issuing from its nose and mouth.
Seeing the arrival of Chaos, the black-haired man beside it changed color dramatically, fixing a relentless gaze on Chaos.
The elder in green clothes, however, slightly furrowed his brows.
The atmosphere above Heaven Hidden Valley coalesced, divided between Chaos and the green-clothed elder.
Mad wind roared around them, splitting half of the mountain.
"A Vein Beast at the Immortal Ascension Boundary," after a long while, the green-clothed elder spoke up, saying indifferently.
"Do you think you can keep me here?" Xu Zimei asked.
The green-clothed elder did not reply, looking profoundly at Chaos.
He eventually turned to the black-haired man beside him and spoke in a low voice.
"This Vein Beast obeys his command.
I’ll hold off the Vein Beast; you just quickly finish him off."
"Don’t worry, Master," the black-haired man nodded heavily.
Then the two of them turned around, and the green-clothed elder stepped into the void.
He charged directly towards Chaos.
With his green clothes, his speed was extremely fast, leaving trails in the air between heaven and earth.
He eventually came to a halt above Chaos, eyes locked with the tiger’s menacing gaze.
He slowly raised his right hand, and a massive surge of Immortal Qi erupted from within it.
Behind him, a Black-Striped White Tiger gradually took form, condensing into appearance.
That was his True Fate.
The massive figure of the Black-Striped White Tiger was two-thirds the size of Chaos.
Its eyes were a deep blue, like two precious gems.
Its fangs were over a meter in length; even though it was but a phantom, when it opened its mouth, the pungent smell of blood was still overpowering.
At this moment, the pure white Spiritual Energy on the green-clothed elder was surging.
All nine Vein Gates on his body were open, and the wind of Wu Geng whirled around him.
With a wave of his right hand, the Black-Striped White Tiger let out a roar and pounced towards Chaos.
Chaos, unwilling to show weakness, extended a pair of vast wings that could cover the sky and sun, and flew towards the Black-Striped White Tiger.
Endless roars of beasts echoed throughout Heaven Hidden Valley.
Meanwhile, the black-haired man seized the opportunity and lunged at Xu Zimei.
