A He Liu–realm wolf demon? And at its peak?!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He could fight above his level, but not by this much.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Right now, Wu Qi’s mind was reeling. Weren’t the beasts here only supposed to be Dong Xu–realm? How did He Liu–realm ones even show up?!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, not just Wu Qi—all the high-level cultivators who had entered this secret realm expecting to bully the newcomers—were stunned by the beasts’ cultivation levels.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So far, they hadn’t encountered a single beast below He Liu–realm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The weakest were all He Liu–realm early stage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even a prodigy like Wu Qi had no chance against them; the high-level cultivators were now running for their lives, cursing under their breath.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Who the hell had come in and boosted the beasts to this level?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It wasn’t worth it just for resources meant for Kai Mai and Ning Yuan cultivators.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They’d planned to mess with the low-level cultivators, make things a bit harder for them—but now they were the ones getting crushed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wu Qi estimated, at minimum, a Guan Tian–realm ancient beast must have entered to enhance the demons this much.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Maybe he was just unlucky—walking straight into the strongest beast in this area.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What he didn’t know was that this was barely the beginning; he was still in the outer zone, and the beasts inside were far worse.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because a Shengzhe–realm cultivator had entered this realm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not even he, a Po Xu–realm cultivator, would survive. Even a Guan Tian–realm would have to flee.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wu Qi, bold and skilled, relied on his advantage in forest combat to constantly evade the wolf demon’s attacks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He never ran on the ground—he leapt between the towering trees.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Especially those branches just thick enough to bear his weight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because of its mass, the wolf demon couldn’t chase him without snapping those branches, then crashing down with a loud thud.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It couldn’t use its speed at all—it couldn’t catch him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“He Liu–realm isn’t that impressive. Compared to the dangers I’ve faced before, this is nothing.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wu Qi, having forgotten his pain, grew arrogant again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He’d originally planned to lure this absurdly powerful wolf demon away so his two younger cousins could quickly grab the “Moonlight Spirit Leaf.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But who could’ve guessed the furious wolf demon let out a howl and called for backup?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only then did Wu Qi remember—wolf demons were pack animals.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Three terrifying auras surged toward him from all sides.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All three were He Liu–realm mid-stage wolf demons.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wu Qi’s heart sank—not because he couldn’t escape, but because judging from the direction the other wolves were coming, his two cousins and his aunt were in danger!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They were hiding right beside the path the wolves were advancing on.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When the other three wolves appeared, Wu Qi’s two cousins panicked and fled in terror; his aunt, Wu Nan Zhi, turned ashen-faced.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wu Qi couldn’t save them—they were already surrounded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even the wolves’ breath alone was enough to make them sway on their feet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A wave of death began to spread.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wu Qi, watching from afar, was filled with dread. Oh no—if his aunt died, how would he explain it to Grandpa? He’d be killed!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One wolf demon suddenly lunged at Wu Nan Zhi; each step it took shook the earth, kicking up whirlwinds of fallen leaves and dust.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Its massive jaws, wide enough to swallow anything whole, opened wide, ready to devour its prey.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Within its maw, razor-sharp fangs gleamed coldly; saliva dripped continuously from its lips, reeking of putrid stench.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Leaves trembled in the wind, rustling softly, adding sorrow and despair to the assault, weaving an indescribable atmosphere of death.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet, at this critical moment—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The seal within Wu Nan Zhi’s body shattered as if struck by an invisible force; an ancient, overwhelming aura erupted instantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Immediately, a Tiger Saint Beast awoke from within her, unleashing a titanic presence and slamming its paw directly into the charging wolf demon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That palm carried the weight of mountains and rivers; the wolf demon had no time to react before being flung away by the colossal force.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It tumbled through the air, shrieking in agony, finally crashing into a tree trunk over ten meters away, its body crushed inward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Teeth shattered and scattered across the ground; blood gushed from its mouth as it lay dying, eyes filled with terror and resentment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the same time, where Wu Nan Zhi had stood, a colossal creature—over ten meters tall—appeared: a black-and-gold Saint Tiger!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Its eyes glowed with terrifying power; its body was sleek and muscular, every sinew pulsing with explosive strength; its tail, like a black steel whip, could summon gales with a single flick.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When this Saint Tiger appeared, the entire heavens and earth seemed to tremble.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The surrounding trees, dwarfed by its massive form, toppled like grass before a storm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a single roar, its voice thundered like heaven’s drum, striking fear into countless nearby beasts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Some weaker demons fainted instantly from the sonic wave, collapsing unconscious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The surrounding wolves, their earlier ferocity gone, now cowered on the ground. “What?! Our Wu family’s Saint Beast is inside Auntie?!” Wu Qi cried out in shock.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The city was called Tiger Crouching City because, long ago, a Saint Tiger had rampaged there—until suppressed by a Wu family Shengzhe–realm elder.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That Wu ancestor, moved by the Saint Tiger’s arduous cultivation, sealed it within his body, hoping to redeem it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He also intended to pass it down as a guardian beast to protect future generations of the Wu family.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That was how Tiger Crouching City got its name.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wu Qi had always assumed the Saint Beast was sealed inside his grandfather’s body—not that it was in Wu Nan Zhi.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dammit—could the beast enhancements in this wilderness secret realm be because of Auntie?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But that didn’t matter much—Auntie was clearly the strongest here. If so, let her just wipe out all these monsters.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thinking this, Wu Qi leapt over and shouted to the Saint Tiger, which stood with its back to him: “Auntie, kill those wolves!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No sooner had he spoken than the Saint Tiger lashed out with its tail.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Boom!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A thunderous roar shook the earth; nearly all the giant trees in the area where Wu Qi had stood were obliterated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Had he not reacted fast enough to leap onto a neighboring tree, he’d have been crushed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Having narrowly escaped death, Wu Qi was now drenched in sweat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Run! Auntie can’t control the Saint Tiger!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He shouted to his dazed cousins.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then he turned and bolted—running as far and as fast as he could—because the Saint Tiger had bared its fangs and begun low, rumbling growls.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wu Qi, who’d spent years in the mountains, knew this noise meant one thing: the Saint Tiger was hungry.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If he didn’t run now, once the Saint Tiger turned to face him, he’d have no chance to escape.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His two cousins also sprinted away; the Saint Tiger glanced at them, and a crushing aura slammed into them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The four wolf demons, due to their size, became its first targets.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Inside the Saint Tiger’s body, Wu Nan Zhi could see everything outside—this was her first time summoning it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She was trying to communicate with the beast, but it ignored her completely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon, the entire area became a wasteland, littered with beast corpses and pools of blood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Elsewhere, Li Chen strolled calmly through the forest, casually gathering resources, waiting for the light circle to refresh.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He thought this wilderness secret realm was fine—whenever he released his aura, every beast fled like they’d seen a ghost.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The slower ones dropped to their knees, trembling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Some beasts even tried to please him, wagging their tails and bowing, as if begging him to ride them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Li Chen thought: You spiky demon, stop with this nonsense!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I’d suffer if I rode you!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Chen had considered whether to find a mount—this place was huge, after all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But ordinary mounts were beneath him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just then, he sensed powerful energy fluctuations, accompanied by beast roars.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When Li Chen arrived at the scene, he saw a massive tiger-like creature biting clean through the neck of a giant bear demon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing the golden-and-black striped Saint Tiger, radiating immense demonic power, Li Chen’s expression turned satisfied—this was the kind of mount he should ride.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To others, the Saint Tiger was a monstrous destroyer, terrifying all who saw it into fleeing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But to Li Chen, it was just a slightly larger house cat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Saint Tiger was about to devour the bear demon when, without warning, a figure appeared atop a towering ancient tree above it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The man stood tall, his gaze radiating undeniable authority and majesty—as if he were the sole sovereign of heaven and earth, looking down upon the Saint Tiger with supreme disdain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Saint Tiger sensed the threat from Li Chen and snapped out of its frenzy; it leapt up instantly, every hair on its body standing on end like a startled cat, showing unprecedented wariness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Its eyes glinted with caution, fixed on Li Chen, as if evaluating the strength of this sudden intruder.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Chen didn’t know if the Saint Tiger understood human speech, but he knew: the best way to deal with this kind of creature is to break it!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In a flash, his body vanished as if merging into empty space; the next instant, the Saint Tiger, locked onto its target, found it gone without a trace.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as the Holy Tiger was scanning the surroundings, trying to locate Li Chen, a faint voice sounded beside its ear: “Are you looking for me?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before the words had fully faded, Li Chen’s figure had already appeared atop its forehead, like a light feather, yet bringing the Holy Tiger an unprecedented sense of oppression.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Chen lightly brought down his palm; the Holy Tiger felt its body instantly locked by an invisible force, all its meridians completely sealed, leaving it utterly motionless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Those eyes, once filled with supreme authority, now brimmed with fear and despair—it gazed at the man before it in terror, feeling he was a thousandfold more terrifying than the one who had once sealed it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Holy Tiger, which had made everyone here tremble in fear and even the genius Wu Qi dared not approach, could not survive a single strike from Li Chen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as Li Chen sat atop the Holy Tiger’s head, preparing to properly discipline it—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>*Bang!* The Holy Tiger suddenly vanished, and before him stood a completely naked woman!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Chen blinked in surprise.
