Chapter 400: Chapter 172: Mid-stage Divine Treasure, Semi-Innate Cub!

Shen Can didn’t plan on making a move. A Tier Four Wild Beast on the brink of death and protecting its cubs could erupt with an unknown amount of power.

Didn’t the Jade Flame Suanni only dare to provoke from the edges, wanting to wear down the Chi Tiger bit by bit?

In a life-and-death battle, a heavily injured Chi Tiger might still have a chance to counter-kill the Suanni.

So, he was also waiting for an opportunity, wondering if he could play the fisherman and capture two powerful Tier Four Wild Beasts, and perhaps a Tier Four cub.

Relying on the Source Stones excavated from the valley and some collected Witch Medicine, Shen Can had now advanced to the mid-stage Divine Treasure.

It took him over ten years to advance from Divine Treasure to mid-stage Divine Treasure, a speed that was undoubtedly fast for cultivation in Yongyi.

Of course, the increase in power hadn’t deterred his thoughts of picking up bargains; as for killing his way out, he dismissed that idea.

Who knows if there are any hidden Wild Beasts nearby?

The battles between these two Wild Beasts over the years made it evident that their spiritual wisdom was no different from the Human Race.

...

The Chi Tiger, with its body torn open, crouched on the mountain, with a pool of blood forming beneath it, staring intently at the Jade Flame Suanni.

At this rate, it wouldn’t take long before it was dragged to death.

It bit open the skull of the remaining Black-haired Hound, swallowing its brain, and along with it, some of the skull, chewing forcefully.

Seeing the Chi Tiger regain some breath, the Jade Flame Suanni roared angrily and once again charged towards the Chi Tiger to engage.

After a bout, the Chi Tiger’s aura fell again, with its torn wounds once more leaking beast blood.

In this way, the Chi Tiger’s aura grew weaker and increasingly restless.

Roar!

It started attacking the Jade Flame Suanni repeatedly, but the Suanni would immediately run, circling the Giant Mountain at the same time, attempting to rush towards the mountain.

This caused the Chi Tiger to roar incessantly.

Roar!

Suddenly, the Chi Tiger leaped up fiercely, the beast blood flowing on its body surging into a storm, lifting it and appearing instantaneously behind the Jade Flame Suanni.

The black, crystalline sharp claws glistened with a cold light, making even the air explode from their force, showing the power of this claw.

In an instant, the Jade Flame Suanni let out a tragic cry, its massive body torn open by the claw, blood splattered, and the falling blood ignited into fireballs.

In pain, the Suanni collided with several solid rocks before stabilizing its form.

Looking again at the Chi Tiger, its aura plummeted rapidly, staggering towards the Giant Mountain, eventually crashing into the mountain, rolling down from above, staining the rock face with blood.

After landing, the Chi Tiger tried to struggle to get up, letting out a muffled roar from its throat, its blood energy gathering again, and actually managed to climb back up the mountain.

This time, like a revival, the Chi Tiger did not return to the mountaintop but rushed towards a large rock down the mountain.

Upon reaching the rock, the Chi Tiger’s aura fully fell, letting out a dragon-like mournful cry, with trickling blood flowing uncontrollably like a spring.

Now the distant Jade Flame Suanni, ignoring the pain on its body, roared angrily, slowly approaching the Chi Tiger.

Then, it spat out a jade flame, transforming into a roaring Jade Flame Suanni in mid-air, crashing into the Chi Tiger.

With a boom, the Chi Tiger’s body exploded, its flesh shattered, with even the Beast Pill emitting a wail, crashing into the nearby rock wall.

The Jade Flame Suanni once again unleashed a Red Fire, striking the Beast Pill.

As the Chi Tiger’s Beast Pill was knocked away, it let out a wail, colliding into the mountainside.

Seeing this, the Jade Flame Suanni was finally relieved, leaping to a piece of the Chi Tiger’s flesh and swallowing it.

Its fangs chewed, with pieces of flesh and blood flowing from its mouth, and after eating one piece, it howled to the sky, with a sound that shook the surroundings, its momentum like a rainbow.

This silenced some of the distant beast roars arising one after another.

After finishing the first piece of Chi Tiger meat, the Jade Flame Suanni started eating the second, continuously making muffled hums in its throat.

Roar!

While eating, suddenly, a First Layer of spiritual light shone from the Jade Flame Suanni, it roared once more, surrounded by jade flames that burned continuously from the inside out.

However, within its five viscera, a pitch-black spiritual light emerged, attaching itself internally.

Buzz!

At this moment, the Chi Tiger’s Beast Pill previously lodged into the rock lit up, breaking through the stones, shooting out like a stream of light, piercing directly through the Jade Flame Suanni’s huge body.

A bloody hole exploded on its body, shattering its five viscera along with it.

The Jade Flame Suanni roared towards the sky, its eyes as large as lanterns revealing unwillingness. Its massive body swayed and then crashed heavily to the ground, with blood flowing out like a stream.

From its gaping mouth, the chewed yet unswallowed flesh of the Chi Tiger fell out with a splat, piling up next to its mouth.

...

"Buzz!"

However, this wasn’t the end.

The Beast Pill that penetrated the Jade Flame Suanni lit up with a wisp of Innate Spiritual Light. Within it, a Chi Tiger roared, circling the mountain once before letting out a sharp cry, and then dashed off into the distance.

At the mountain’s entrance in the distance.

Rumble.

Poof!

The earth and old trees exploded, with splashes of blood flying.

With a mournful cry, a Wild Beast resembling an old crow with withered, featherless wings yet unable to fly, rushed on its long, branch-like legs towards the distance in a panicked escape.

The entire beast stood among the soil and rocks, looking no different from a withered tree, crucially concealing all its blood energy, just like a tree.

After scaring off the branch-like Wild Beast, the Beast Pill started circling the Giant Mountain again.

Once it flew past just a hundred feet in front of where Shen Can was hiding.

Circle after circle, as if patrolling.

After flying past Shen Can three or four times, with a ’whoosh’, it raised a fierce wind and turned into a flash of Spiritual Light rushing towards Shen Can.

Clang!

In the distance of just a hundred feet, it whistled over, and by the time Shen Can’s Divine Sense caught it, it was already upon him.

Instantly, he chopped down with a palm.

In a flash, the Spiritual Light gleamed with brilliance on the Beast Pill. With a ’boom’, the energy from the collision erupted, throwing Shen Can out of his hiding spot, while the Beast Pill spun and flew backward.

Only then did Shen Can realize that the Chi Tiger had known about his spying all along.

Perhaps out of fear of an alliance against it, it had always pretended to be unaware.

"Human Race!"

After revealing Shen Can, a Spiritual Light illuminated on the spinning Beast Pill.

Within the light, the soul shadow of the Chi Tiger emitted Innate Qi, blending both innate and acquired qualities within a Wild Beast’s body, appearing somewhat unusual.

Upon seeing Shen Can was of the Human Race, the viciousness shown by the Chi Tiger relaxed slightly, instead revealing joy.

"I have progeny, willing to form an equal contract with you."

Before Shen Can could speak, the Chi Tiger’s Divine Sense communicated.

In the Desolate Beast Race, its offspring would be considered food, but not so for the Human Race.

With its offspring’s innate background, it would surely make the Human Race ecstatic.

"My offspring were conceived under the presence of Innate Spiritual Light."

At this, Shen Can immediately felt both amazed and impressed—the life conceived by Innate Sensing was indeed extraordinary.

This explained why the Chi Tiger, even reduced to its Beast Pill, could still slay the Suanni and scare off a Tier Four Wild Beast.

The presence of Innate Spiritual Light had also caused changes in the Chi Tiger.

"Aside from the Treasure Blood I’ve obtained, you can also have this Beast Pill and everything on the ground."

Shen Can did not respond immediately. He first went out and collected all the corpses and beast blood on the ground, leaving not even the blood-stained dirt and vegetation behind.

After completing all of this, he agreed.

As the giant stone was moved aside, a cave was revealed.

Inside the deep passage of the cave, water waves shimmer with Innate Spiritual Light.

A foot-long Little Chi Tiger lay on a lotus leaf, blowing bubbles from its nostrils, completely unaware of what had happened outside.

"Human Race, though my progeny were born innate, they possess my acquired aura, causing an internal conflict between their innate and acquired aspects.

I intended to attempt using the true fire in Treasure Blood to burn away this acquired impurity.

It seems I can only rely on you to help it now. If you can remove its impurity, once it grows, it will certainly repay you, potentially elevating you to Tier Five, or even Tier Six or Tier Seven."
