In an instant.

The surrounding environment seemed to darken, a chill pervaded the air.

The Peregrine Falcon stared fixedly at the gradually forming gigantic White Tiger figure, its body trembling incessantly, as if it had encountered a peerless fiend.

"Buzz!"

With a shiver, the Peregrine Falcon’s body became warm, as the [Kunpeng Bloodline] surged from within, calming its restless heart.

Following the Peregrine Falcon’s line of sight.

It saw.

The air previously etched with the White Tiger figure slowly dimmed, the last bits of sunlight obscured, as a silhouette nearly thirty meters large suspended in the air.

As the eerie White Jade Giant Bone entered the drawn body, reaching the heart, transforming into its heart, the once vague outline underwent a tremendous change.

In the previously empty space, strands of blood-red mist gradually rose, slowly solidifying from their ethereal form.

With the appearance of the blood-red mist, high in the sky, strands of blood-colored muscle appeared, spreading from the scarlet heart, filling the empty space completely.

As the blood-colored muscle accumulated, an overwhelming oppression slowly took form in the sky.

"White Tiger!"

The Peregrine Falcon, upon seeing the huge figure forming in the sky, exclaimed in shock, its wings trembling ceaselessly, as if seized by a fit, and if it could speak, the whole valley would surely be filled with its voice.

Since obtaining the [Kunpeng Bloodline], the Peregrine Falcon had learned much about ancient times.

The giant White Tiger figure before its eyes was the very Demon Beast renowned alongside the Kunpeng in ancient times, the White Tiger.

"Roar!"

With a mighty roar, the blood-red mist dispersed completely, revealing the massive Demon Beast, the White Tiger, renowned alongside the Kunpeng in ancient times, fully before the man and falcon.

On the White Tiger’s body, black and white stripes interlaced, like mysterious runes, etched on its surface, pulsing with blood-red light, flashing with ancient and formidable power.

Its eyes were like cold stars, deep and icy, overbearing all, with a menacing gaze that daunted any living creature upon which it fell.

This was the unique aura possessed only by Ancient Demon Beasts.

Simply by gazing at the enormous figure, the Peregrine Falcon felt an oppressive force emanating from the depths of its soul.

This oppression far exceeded what it experienced in the depths of the ocean, originating from the essence of its bloodline.

This oppression couldn’t be entirely dispelled by the [Kunpeng Bloodline] within the Peregrine Falcon, as it was, after all, just a bloodline.

However, the giant White Tiger before its eyes was a tangible reality, a fearsome existence unique to its species, incomparable by language alone.

The reason the Peregrine Falcon could still stand here unharmed was because of the [Kunpeng Bloodline] within; otherwise, as soon as the White Jade Giant Bone emitted the White Tiger Aura, its blood would instantly boil, causing it to perish violently.

Xu Ran stood calmly in place, looking up at the White Tiger figure high in the sky, displaying no overt expression.

Though appearing very calm, beneath the still waters, there was boundless tumult.

In the unseen realm, around Xu Ran’s body, white Innate Qi continuously erupted, swirling around him, shielding him from any harm.

Meanwhile, in the unseen outer region surrounding Xu Ran, invisible waves of white energy constantly battered him.

At that moment, on an invisible battlefield, Xu Ran stood at the center, with invisible energy waves around him growing scorching, wrapped by the unseen force, surging like a furious blaze around him.

"Boom!"

An invisible collision.

At this moment, Xu Ran was like standing in the eye of a storm, with countless surging forces attacking from all sides, seemingly intent on obliterating him at this spot.

Xu Ran was like a lone skiff, facing the boundless ocean’s assault alone, fragile yet unaffected by any occurrence.

"This power... is somewhat peculiar!" Xu Ran mumbled, feeling the energy waves raging around him.

At this moment, his eyes radiated golden light, with the enhancement of Innate Qi, able to see the imperceptible.

Around his body existed an invisible wave of white energy, and in the unseen outer region, there were strands of blood-red energy waves, like frenzied beasts, continually crashing against the slender barrier around him.

"Buzz!"

"Buzz!"

"Buzz!"

...

The battered white barrier continually rippled; though the blood-red energy waves appeared ferocious, they could not budge Xu Ran’s slender white barrier in the slightest.

Although Xu Ran didn’t know exactly what this newly-formed gigantic Demon Beast was, its mere aura was enough to demand serious attention.

"This Demon Beast should also be from ancient times, exuding an ancient aura identical to that of the Kunpeng, and even if it’s not stronger, it’s at least not weaker than the Kunpeng."

Xu Ran, repeatedly attacked by the White Tiger’s energy waves from above, instantly recognized the ancient aura. Having spent recent times with the Peregrine Falcon, that aura was exceptionally familiar.
