Awooo!A drawn-out howl tore through the air, echoing across the forest and sending a flock of panicked crows scattering from the canopy.A silver-furred wolf roared arrogantly at the morning sky. It was a remarkably massive beast, standing nearly as tall as a full-grown water buffalo.Dense, thick fur covered the monster's body, glinting fiercely in the sunlight. This was no ordinary pelt; it was a cluster of needle-sharp bristles woven together into a suit of natural armor.It boasted a resilience said to withstand strikes from the sharpest of blades without leaving so much as a scratch.The wolf's eyes burned a violent, bloodthirsty red—the piercing gaze of an apex predator sitting comfortably at the top of the food chain on the outskirts of the Thousand Monster Forest.Yet, the scene unfolding right in front of it was just as chilling.Exactly ten meters from where the silver wolf bared its fangs, a juvenile white spiritual tiger stood in perfect calm.The white tiger lowered his

Golden light flickered, piercing the silence of the dimensional rift. While Ren hid away in his cave, Sakura had returned to Qinglan's side.The chamber felt mystical, its marble floors blanketed by a faint, glowing mist. In the center of the room, Qinglan lounged on a crystal throne, resting her chin in her hand with a teasing smile.The air around Qinglan was cold yet refreshing, a stark contrast to Sakura's wild aura.As soon as the nine-tailed fox set foot on the marble, her form began to blur.A blinding light enveloped her, shrinking her down until she transformed into a beautiful woman. Nine golden fox tails swayed gracefully behind her.Qinglan's blue eyes narrowed, fixing on the newly arrived Sakura. Her smile widened, radiating the distinct aura of someone thoroughly enjoying a good drama."Honestly, couldn't you just accept the little white tiger's gift?" Qinglan teased, her tone playful.Her voice echoed lightly through the vast chamber, melodic yet carrying a mysterious,

If only I could find a treasure to speed up the process, things would be a whole lot easier," the juvenile spiritual white tiger muttered helplessly.Evolution-accelerating treasures were exceptionally rare in this realm. Even if one's existence was discovered, it would almost certainly be destroyed or hoarded by monsters and other spiritual beasts far more powerful than him.Ren Arka took a deep breath. Raising one of his front paws, he intently studied his small claws, which now gleamed with a razor-sharp edge."It's time to expand my hunting grounds," he murmured softly, his voice sounding a bit deep and slightly raspy.In the distance, perched on the sturdy branc

Whoosh!A small silhouette darted through the underbrush like lightning, slicing through the wind before landing seamlessly right in front of Meiyara. The figure came to a halt without stirring up a single speck of dust.Meiyara’s gaze, initially taut with guard, melted away completely the moment she laid eyes on the creature standing before her. Her clear eyes went wide as saucers, sparkling with unconcealed fascination.Before her stood a juvenile spiritual white tiger, poised with pristine, gleaming fur. Barely the size of a small child, with furry ears that twitched every now and then, he looked utterly adorable."Ara~ you're so cute!""Eh?"Before Ren Arka could even open his mouth to offer a greeting or explain his purpose, Meiyara moved faster than his wild instincts could react.The holy maiden dipped down in a flash, slipped her hands beneath Ren Arka’s front legs, and hoisted the little white tiger into the air like a plushie.Without giving Ren Arka a second to process the

"Looks like we've reached our destination," Ren Arka said, halting his steps as he sniffed the air dense with concentrated spiritual energy."Really?" Snapping out of her daze, Meiyara straightened up and surveyed their surroundings with a keen eye.Their gaze landed on a breathtaking panorama at the far end of the rocky valley. Not far ahead, an ancient spiritual tree stood rooted firmly upon a ten-meter-high cliff ledge. Its gnarled trunk gripped the sheer rock face, supporting a majestic canopy that shaded the precipice.The foliage was a deep, rich emerald, shimmering brightly as it refracted a magical glow beneath the sunlight. That radiance cast crystalline green motes gently drifting through the ambient air, soothing the eyes of anyone who beheld it."It's gorgeous," Meiyara murmured, her eyes widening in sheer awe.Ren Arka nodded in agreement, though his attention was instantly drawn toward the upper branches. His gaze locked onto nine Transformation Fruits hanging midair, lo
