Chapter 746: Chapter 740: The Great Battle Begins

“A White Tiger Beast Soul! The White Tiger Race’s foundation is truly profound. To think they still have a Guardian Beast like this!”

“That White Tiger Beast Soul’s strength has reached the Tier Three Spirit Emperor Level! You must understand, at the Spirit Emperor Tier, the gap between each Small Realm is like a heavenly chasm, nearly impossible to cross. That’s why Shen Haoran’s Puppet, at the Peak of Tier Two Spirit Emperor, is utterly defenseless against the White Tiger Beast Soul!”

“The tables have turned in an instant! Shen Haoran is in trouble now!” the crowd murmured, staring at the White Tiger Beast Soul in shock.

Shen Haoran’s expression also grew serious as he watched the White Tiger Beast Soul. A Tier Three Spirit Emperor Level Beast Soul was indeed something he hadn’t anticipated. However, he was merely starting to take the White Tiger Race seriously; he felt no fear whatsoever.

“Shen Haoran, let’s see what you can do now!” Bai Zhennan said with a sinister laugh, looking at Shen Haoran’s grave expression.

“Tch. It’s just a White Tiger Beast Soul,” Shen Haoran sneered. Then, with a thought, Changmao’s figure slowly materialized behind him.

“ROAR!”

A roar even more terrifying than the White Tiger’s cry erupted from Changmao’s mouth. As he roared, Changmao’s body grew, and in an instant, he transformed into a monstrous beast that blotted out the sky. Pitch-black Devouring Power swirled around his body as the Spiritual Power between heaven and earth surged madly into him.

“Is that… a Taotie Beast Soul! The Beast Soul of the Taotie, the first of the Ancient Ten Fierce Beasts!” The moment they saw Changmao, the Martial Artists within Central City cried out in alarm. If their first reaction to seeing the White Tiger Beast Soul was shock, then their first reaction to the Taotie Beast Soul was disbelief. They simply couldn’t believe the Taotie Beast Soul before them was real!

As one of the Four Great Divine Beasts, the White Tiger was renowned throughout the Demon Race and revered by countless people. But it was known that above the Divine Beasts were the Fierce Beasts. Even a White Tiger, one of the Four Great Divine Beasts, could only make way for an Ancient Fierce Beast, to say nothing of the Taotie, the head of the Ancient Ten Fierce Beasts.

After Changmao appeared, the White Tiger Beast Soul clearly felt an immense pressure and let out a roar of its own.

Bai Zhennan and the others stared at Changmao behind Shen Haoran, their brows furrowing deeply. To think Shen Haoran also concealed a Taotie Beast Soul! However, this Taotie Beast Soul was obviously incomplete. Otherwise, the White Tiger Beast Soul wouldn’t be roaring at it. If it were a complete Taotie Beast Soul, no one present would likely survive.

“Hmph, how dare you bring out an incomplete Taotie Beast Soul to embarrass yourself!” Bai Zhennan shouted coldly. He then formed a Seal Technique with his hands, and the distant White Tiger Beast Soul charged over, its eyes locked onto Changmao. As they were both Beast Souls, if the White Tiger Beast Soul could devour Changmao, its power would surely soar. This was just an incomplete Taotie Beast Soul; the White Tiger Beast Soul wouldn’t necessarily be afraid of it!

Watching the standoff in the sky, everyone in Central City couldn’t help but swallow nervously. Both sides had now revealed their trump cards. A great battle was likely to erupt next!

“Changmao and I will handle the White Tiger Beast Soul. The old ancestor can be left to Fire Vajra. As for Bai Zhennan… Lady Ya, you can stop him, right?” Shen Haoran said calmly as he glanced at the members of the White Tiger Race.

“No problem!” Lady Ya nodded. Both were Tier One Spirit Emperors, but Bai Zhennan had lost an arm and a leg, so his strength had greatly diminished. Stopping him wouldn’t be an issue. This was also a perfect opportunity for Lady Ya to familiarize herself with the power of the Spirit Emperor Tier.

“Xue Ling, I’ll leave the remaining White Tiger Race Martial Artists to you. Don’t confront them head-on; be careful above all else!” Shen Haoran said to Xue Ling. Among their group, Xue Ling’s strength was at the Tier Nine Spirit Sovereign Peak. Aside from Shen Haoran, she was the weakest. Facing a Spirit Emperor Powerhouse might be difficult for her, but dealing with those other White Tiger Race Martial Artists would still be quite easy.

Hearing Shen Haoran’s instructions, Xue Ling nodded firmly.

“Good. Remember, show no mercy. Don’t hold back at all!” After assigning the tasks, a cold killing intent flashed in Shen Haoran’s eyes. He spoke in a low voice, and with that, leaped onto Changmao’s head and charged toward the White Tiger Beast Soul.

“Shen Haoran, you’re courting death!” Seeing Shen Haoran about to team up with the Taotie Beast Soul against the White Tiger Beast Soul, Bai Zhennan yelled coldly and prepared to intercept him. But just as he was about to move, a bolt of white silk carrying a sharp whistling sound shot toward his heart, forcing him to retreat hastily. He could only watch as Shen Haoran and Changmao charged toward the White Tiger Beast Soul.

“Your opponent is me!” Lady Ya flicked her long sleeve, her cold gaze fixed on Bai Zhennan. The killing intent in her heart erupted. Bai Zhennan had slaughtered more than half of the Fox Race. This was a debt Lady Ya had long wanted to repay!

“Hmph!” Bai Zhennan could only snort coldly at Lady Ya. The White Tiger Race’s old ancestor was already tied up by Shen Haoran’s Puppet, and Shen Haoran and Changmao had already reached the White Tiger Beast Soul. His opponent could only be this ridiculously beautiful Lady Ya.

“Since you’re looking for death, I’ll grant you your wish!” Bai Zhennan snorted coldly, lunged forward, and engaged Lady Ya in battle. At the same time, the great war between Shen Haoran and the White Tiger Race officially began.

Standing on Changmao’s back, Shen Haoran charged the White Tiger Beast Soul. As he got closer, Shen Haoran took a deep breath and instantly activated the Heaven-Dominating Tribulation. His already formidable power erupted once more. A terrifying force flowed through his body, making him want to let out a long, defiant roar.

‘Tier Three Spirit Sovereign?’ Shen Haoran clenched his fist. He hadn’t expected that activating the Double Heaven-Dominating Tribulation would only raise his power by two tiers. ‘It seems the amount of Spiritual Power required to break through each tier at the Spirit Sovereign Level is truly terrifying.’

‘But it’s enough!’ A cold smile lifted the corner of Shen Haoran’s mouth. The White Tiger Beast Soul’s strength had reached the Tier Three Spirit Emperor level, which suited his appetite perfectly. This was his first battle since breaking through to the Spirit Sovereign Tier, and he naturally needed a powerful opponent to familiarize himself with the power of a Spirit Sovereign.

“ROAR!”

The White Tiger Beast Soul roared in fury at the menacing Changmao and Shen Haoran. It was a dignified Divine Beast! Its majesty was not something a mere human and a broken Beast Soul could provoke, even if that broken Beast Soul was a Taotie.

The White Tiger Beast Soul raised its giant paw and swatted it down toward Shen Haoran and Changmao. A powerful gust of wind shot out, reaching the top of Changmao’s head in an instant.

In response, Shen Haoran and Changmao showed no intention of dodging. Shen Haoran rolled his arm, and the Qilin Arm instantly manifested. The next moment, he and Changmao joined forces, meeting the White Tiger Beast Soul’s giant paw with a fist and a palm of their own.

“BOOM…”

The next instant, a deafening sonic boom erupted. Ripples of Powerful Qi, visible to the naked eye, spread outward from the three of them, instantly turning the White Tiger Race’s buildings into a field of rubble.

The immense force sent Shen Haoran and Changmao flying. The two of them skidded across the ground for several hundred meters before coming to a stop.

“Haha, not bad! Again!” Shen Haoran laughed heartily, the blood in his veins beginning to boil. The White Tiger Beast Soul was powerful, which only served to ignite his fighting spirit. With a furious roar, he once again charged toward the White Tiger Beast Soul…
