Chapter 1724: Void Tiger King, Black Tiger's Metamorphosis

Boom. The thunder tribulation arrived as promised, and Black Tiger alone passed the tribulation; this thunder tribulation caused a great commotion.

On Longshe Shan, Bai Xinlan was startled awake, rose from cultivation, then left the cave dwelling, saw the aura of the thunder tribulation, sensed it, and immediately identified the one passing the tribulation as Black Tiger Demon King; Bai Xinlan couldn't help but be greatly shocked.

"Black Tiger is about to pass the tribulation; that's way too fast, indeed the gap between me and him is still quite large."

Bai Xinlan lowered her head, examined her cultivation, and saw that she still had a distance to the Tribulation Realm; this was after her own transformation, and thanks to her husband's assistance she had her current level, whereas Black Tiger truly rose step by step from the bottom, without clan aid or resources, relying entirely on his own seizure.

In this respect, she cannot match him, nor can the other Demon Kings.

The Bee King is fine, having lived many years; no one knows how he cultivated to this point, only that he is mysterious. As for Diewumeng, need not say—she is a mutated beast, has mastered a special divine technique that lets her hide in illusion, few can locate her, and she seems to also possess a legacy.

As for herself, need not mention—she is protected by a powerful clan, has clan resources, techniques, and in all respects she is the best among the Demon Kings; the deceased Snake King was the same, backed by Mangshan Demon Emperor Zhang Mang; one could say these Demon Kings each have their own fate law, as well as their own backing and confidence.

Only Black Tiger has nothing—no legacy, no backing, no background; his resources are all found by himself, rising through slaughter; he is a true simpleton and a killing god, and his strength has always been among the top three in Mangshan Demon Palace.

It was like that before, and it is the same now; previously the Void Forget limited him, and Zhang Mang, the Protector, restrained him. Black Tiger dared not break through nor reveal his strength. After they died, Black Tiger let himself loose; he was present in every battle and gained considerable benefits.

In a sense, Black Tiger's luck is truly good; this is also one of the fundamental conditions for cultivation, and the foundation for his future path.

"In just a few short years, Black Tiger has already reached this point, devouring part of Black Tiger and Zhang Mang's bodies, causing his own body to transform, his innate talent and potential soaring—remarkable."

"Black Tiger is truly extraordinary; he is the one who understands restraint the most."

Bai Xinlan muttered that Black Tiger's growth story is truly legendary, his cultivation time is also short; among beast cultivation timelines, Black Tiger is a genius among geniuses, far stronger than she, Bai Xinlan.

In age and in all aspects, Black Tiger is ahead of her, but Bai Xinlan will not be discouraged.

"Even if I advance to the Tribulation Realm first, I won't lose to you; once I complete the Nine‑Layer White Dragon Transformation and become a True Dragon bloodline, then my talent will surpass yours, and that will be the moment I surpass you."

Advancing first does not mean always surpassing oneself; she will catch up.

The "Nine‑Layer White Dragon Transformation" can be completed soon; through accumulation, Bai Xinlan has found a shortcut to rapid transformation—each time she is with her husband, she can quickly improve, and as long as she stays by his side, she can advance many transformations ahead of schedule.

What Bai Xinlan can be sure of is that her husband is her benefactor, the one who enables her swift completion of the White Dragon Transformation.

"Husband, and Diewumeng as well."

"Black Tiger's Advancement, the most dangerous is still Diewumeng; that's fine—it gives Diewumeng another enemy, entangles her with Black Tiger, preventing her cultivation, so I can quickly catch up and then surpass them."

Bai Xinlan's thought is simple: catch up, surpass them.

That confidence remains; Bai Xinlan will not be discouraged, nor give up, and certainly will not think she is inferior to others.

Qinglong Daoren crossed his arms, standing not far from Bai Xinlan; he heard her words, did not expose anything, and instead looked toward where Black Tiger stood.

"Black Tiger has passed the tribulation; this thunder tribulation is stronger than Diewumeng's, but it cannot hinder Black Tiger."

"As long as no one intervenes, Black Tiger can complete the passage."

"The Corpse Refining Sect and Tian Du Men seem reluctant to act, especially the Corpse Refining Sect, which dares not enter the Mangshan Mountain Range."

Diewumeng and Bai Qingshuang are outside as Dharma Protectors; both understand clearly that after Black Tiger's Advancement, the Corpse Refining Sect will be even less able to deal with them, and the powerful Mangshan Demon Palace can intimidate the Corpse Refining Sect.

Moreover, the Corpse Refining Sect has angered Diewumeng, and will sooner or later be destroyed; after Black Tiger's Advancement, he can act against the Corpse Refining Sect.

The advanced Black Tiger needs flesh and many resources; the Corpse Refining Sect's scum can conveniently feed Black Tiger, quickly replenishing his consumption.

"Will the Tian Du Dragon King take action?"

Qinglong Daoren was very curious; whether that Tian Du Dragon King would act was still hard to say.

After Black Tiger completes the passage, this thunder tribulation will bring considerable benefits; he can also devour a wave, and soon he will pass the tribulation again; then Qinglong Daoren will also need to find a place to pass the tribulation, not wanting to be discovered by others.

Staying in the Mangshan Mountain Range to pass the tribulation would certainly be discovered by others and remains very dangerous.

"When the time comes, if I pass the tribulation, it's best to return to pass it, and after completing it, come back to Tianwai; that way it'll be unnoticed." Qinglong Daoren muttered inwardly. On that front, he had already thought it through; his strength is constantly rising, the Azure Dragon Clan's divine techniques are already almost fully mastered, and after Advancement is complete, he can begin arranging the Azure Dragon Clan's vengeance.

The vendetta for the clan's annihilation cannot go unanswered; his grandmother's side is also rapidly advancing cultivation, solely to seek revenge.

Mother Long Ming is the same; after witnessing her parents' gruesome deaths, this grudge cannot simply be forgotten.

"The Azure Dragon Clan has many enemies, all in Lingzhou."

"Lingzhou, hum."

Boom.

The thunder tribulation bombarded continuously; Black Tiger kept charging forward, confronting the tribulation head‑on. Each thunderfall warped space, and Black Tiger's body could no longer remain human, transforming into his true Black Tiger form to endure the bombardment.

His whole body is highly defensive and robust, able to withstand the thunder tribulation's onslaught.

With each thunder strike, a portion of the black and violet aura on him dissipated, and his body became denser and stronger.

He fused his innate talent, turning the flesh and abilities that were not his into his own.

This is Black Tiger's innate Heavenly‑Earth Spirit talent, which can devour a Strong One's flesh, then absorb the divine techniques and merits within, converting them into his own.

By means of this divine technique, Black Tiger has come this far, becoming one of the Demon Kings of Mangshan Demon Palace.

This is also the source of his confidence; this Advancement to the Tribulation Realm, thanks to his own talent, will allow him to progress further once this transformation is completed.

Roar.

Facing the thunder tribulation, his body and bloodline are undergoing transformation.
