"Need to release the Nether Soul Tiger’s remnant soul from within the Nether Soul Bell, let it be absorbed by the Mirror of All Things..."
Projecting the remnant soul of a True Beast, long dead, was much more difficult than projecting a living person. Su Changkong looked at the Nether Soul Bell in his hand, released the Nether Soul Tiger’s remnant soul from it, which meant the Nether Soul Bell would be destroyed, a treasure worth nearly a thousand taels of Primordial Liquid!
But to further enhance his Five Animal Frolics, Su Changkong was completely willing!
Without much hesitation, Su Changkong held the Mirror of All Things in one hand and the Nether Soul Bell in the other, and began to activate the Mirror of All Things.
"Hoo!"
The Mirror of All Things generated a suction force, absorbing the remnant soul and obsessions of the Nether Soul Tiger from the Nether Soul Bell.
One could faintly see black mist being drawn out like a tide, entering into the Mirror of All Things.
The entire Nether Soul Bell had grown dim, with the remnant soul of the True Beast extracted, the Nether Soul Bell was essentially scrapped, lost ninety percent of its value!
But for Su Changkong, as long as he could achieve a breakthrough, spending more resources was worthwhile. Only if he was strong enough could he earn more resources!
Once the Mirror of All Things absorbed the remnant soul of the True Beast, Su Changkong suppressed his excited mood and drove the Mirror of All Things to perform the projection.
Buzz, buzz, buzz!
The Mirror of All Things soared high and rapidly expanded, becoming immensely large. Its surface shone brightly, as if there was a river of time flowing within it, this was part of the power of the Great Divine Seed!
Amidst the intense vibration of the Mirror of All Things, gradually, a massive tiger paw stepped out, each paw as huge as a small hill, accompanied by a wild, ancient, and powerful aura.
Under the projection of the Mirror of All Things, a True Beast crossed the river of time and walked out from the mirror, revealing its true form.
This was a terrifying giant beast that was three hundred zhang long, with black fur all over its body, black mist rolling and entwining on its body surface, a pair of dark golden eyes exuding dignity, permeated with an ancient and powerful aura.
This was the True Beast Nether Soul Tiger!
In terms of size, it wasn’t actually big, at least not as huge as the limit size manifested by the Beast of the Evil Emperor, the divine seed of Su Changkong’s Evil Emperor Beast.
But in terms of aura, it clearly wasn’t on the same level!
The True Beasts were once dominators, active in this land before the establishment of the Ancient Holy Country, but also because they were treasures all over, they were hunted to near extinction.
The Nether Soul Tiger before him was also once a True Beast dominating a territory, sadly it was killed by a group of Saint Warriors, even its remnant soul was made into a Nether Soul Bell.
Su Changkong could feel the anger and sadness in the Nether Soul Tiger’s eyes, clearly aware that its current self was merely a projection created by Divine Skills.
Su Changkong looked up at the massive Nether Soul Tiger before him, his eyes blazing, he said solemnly, "Come! What I can give you is only a hearty and exhilarating battle!"
This Nether Soul Tiger had long been dead, now nothing more than a projection manifested by the remnant soul and the power of the Mirror of All Things. Su Changkong was also filled with a fighting spirit, wanting to battle a real True Beast, experiencing firsthand the strength of the True Beast, pushing his Five Animal Frolics to a higher realm!
Su Changkong’s purpose for projecting the Nether Soul Tiger was to battle it!
Under Su Changkong’s command, the enormous Nether Soul Tiger’s eyes showed strands of blood, it hated the human race, being killed and not even allowed freedom for its remnant soul, and also hated Su Changkong before it, being manifested in this form to reappear in the human world. 𝑛𝘰𝑣𝑝𝑢𝑏.𝘤𝑜𝘮
And this all was transformed into a heaven-shaking tiger roar.
"Roar!"
The roar, like arising from the nether hell, was soul-shattering and seizure-inducing, sound waves spreading out in rings, attacking directly at Su Changkong’s soul, Sea of Consciousness.
Ordinary Saint Warriors facing this roar would have damaged Sea of Consciousness, an attack targeting the soul!
But for Su Changkong, who had achieved Primordial Spirit cultivation, it was no big deal. The sound waves entered his Sea of Consciousness and disappeared without a trace, completely dissolved.
"Boom!"
As the roar of the tiger sounded, a massive claw of the Nether Soul Tiger swatted down ferociously, a terrifying oppressive force crushing down. Before even striking, it had already caused Su Changkong to feel immense pressure.
"This Nether Soul Tiger... though not at the level of a Divine Body, in terms of combat power, it is not weaker than Wang Zhongqiu at the third layer Heaven of Entering Saint!"
Su Changkong’s expression was solemn, He could easily kill Wang Zhongqiu using his Primordial Spirit, but facing this Nether Soul Tiger, Su Changkong did not aim to kill it; instead, he wanted to gain enlightenment in the fierce battle to improve his fist technique, so he couldn’t use his Primordial Soul Out of Orifice, or it would be meaningless.
Su Changkong took a step forward, deploying the Spiritual Deer Steps On Sky Body Techniques and shifted a hundred zhang sideways, dodging the frontal swipe of the Nether Soul Tiger.
"Bang!"
The giant tiger claw smashed to the ground, causing the earth to tremble harshly. The plain sunk into a crater with a diameter of one to two li, the shockwave it stirred shattered every blade of grass around.
"Five Animal Frolics. White Tiger Roars and Kills!"
Su Changkong’s Mysterious Tortoise Golden Core spun within his Dantian, powering the White Tiger Roars and Kills effortlessly. A colossal white tiger phantom coalesced, opening its huge maw, the earthshaking roar visibly oscillating, like eternity galloping, charging towards the Nether Soul Tiger.
"Crack! Crack!"
The soundwaves continuously exploded on the body of the Nether Soul Tiger, yet they barely posed a lethal threat, only managing to fragment its fur.
Su Changkong, possessing only the first level Heaven of Entering Saint with a single Divine Skill, was somewhat struggling despite using the Mysterious Tortoise Golden Core to power the Five Animal Frolics against such a level of True Beast!
"Roar!"
The Nether Soul Tiger roared wildly, its body’s black mist grew denser, and within the mist, ruthlessly menacing faces could be faintly seen. Su Changkong saw contours of mighty beasts, including a long-haired Mammoth Elephant, massively built dinosaurs and even ferocious human faces.
These beasts and humans, all bellowing and roaring madly at Su Changkong, were as sinister as hell’s evil spirits!
The black fog spread, creating a semblance of Nether Hell, with hordes of animals and humans madly attacking and besieging Su Changkong. They were not living creatures, but rather soul-like spirits!
"This Nether Soul Tiger is naturally extraordinary, its Innate Divine Ability is related to the soul! These beasts and people seem to be its slain enemies, their souls imprisoned after death!"
By retaining the Crane Play and Deer-playing Body Techniques, Su Changkong kept dodging around the Nether Soul Tiger, simultaneously grasping the ferocious might of the Nether Soul Tiger and gradually understanding its unique aspect.
The legend says those killed by tigers turn into tiger spirits, aiding it in harming others—an allegory for ’acting as a tiger’s lackeys’— the Nether Soul Tiger possesses similar tactics.
As a True Beast, not only is its body powerfully comparable to a Saint Warrior at the third layer Heaven of Entering Saint, but it also possesses Innate Divine Abilities related to the soul.
That soul-shocking tiger’s roar, along with numerous human and beast Nether Souls, constituted a terrifyingly potent killer move if Su Changkong hadn’t developed his Primordial Spirit, a few roars from the Nether Soul Tiger would be sufficient to shatter his Sea of Consciousness!
These Nether Souls were also extremely difficult to deal with; Su Changkong shattered them with his heavy punches, but they immediately reassembled and healed, proving impossible to eradicate completely.
During the fight with the Nether Soul Tiger, Su Changkong’s immense potential was unleashed, leading to an epiphany, "This is the power of the soul... my fist technique can try integrating the power of the soul!"
Su Changkong’s eyes sparkled as he gradually gained insight.
"White Tiger Roars and Kills!"
Su Changkong tried integrating the power of the soul into the Tiger Play. As a colossal Nether Soul beast pounced on Su Changkong, he smashed his right fist out, concentrating all the fist power.
"Crack!"
As his fist struck the Nether Soul beast, the resulting soundwaves shattered its soul-like body into pieces, containing fluctuations emitted by Su Changkong’s Primordial Spirit, permanently obliterating the healing fragments!
With the death of the Nether Soul beast, it did not regenerate as before. The Nether Soul Tiger let out a fierce roar, its controlled Nether Souls completely destroyed, evidently impacted.
"My Soul Transformation into Primordial Spirit, combined with Tiger Play, indeed significantly heightens the potency of Tiger Play!"
Su Changkong couldn’t help but rejoice internally, his Primordial Spirit emerged from excavating and elevating his soul’s potential. By harnessing it, he could achieve an attack ability like the Nether Soul Tiger’s Innate Ability, capable of shattering the Sea of Consciousness and soul of the enemies with terrifying lethality!
