Yang Yan and the Void-Devouring Tiger both have some understanding of the Path of Space. Although their speed is fast, the Cold Flood Dragon, after all, is a fierce beast in the early Golden Core stage, so how can its speed be slower than two from the Foundation Establishment Realm?

No matter how much the man and the tiger struggled, they couldn’t shake off the Cold Flood Dragon’s pursuit.

"I say, do you have any good idea to shake off the Cold Flood Dragon?"

Facing the relentless pursuit of the Cold Flood Dragon, Yang Yan was overwhelmed.

Thus, he couldn’t help but think of the native here—the Void-Devouring Tiger, hoping it could handle the current predicament.

"If I knew how to get rid of the Cold Flood Dragon, would I be babbling here with you?" The Void-Devouring Tiger gave Yang Yan a fierce glance, as if unable to quell its anger.

"Void-Devouring Tiger, you’re really shaming your family."

In a moment of crisis, Yang Yan didn’t forget to chip away at this little fellow’s arrogance.

His words infuriated the Void-Devouring Tiger even more.

If it weren’t for the Cold Flood Dragon behind them, it might have fought Yang Yan one-on-one.

The man and the tiger continued their escape, seemingly about to be caught by the Cold Flood Dragon.

The usually calm Yang Yan was also anxious.

Because the Cold Flood Dragon behind was formidable, he found it difficult to handle.

He couldn’t help but lament, "To think that I, Yang Yan, roamed the world brilliantly for decades, is it possible that today I’ll be buried in the mouth of this beast?"

As the Cold Flood Dragon approached increasingly, the Void-Devouring Tiger was also flustered.

The Void Devouring Race is proficient in the Path of Space, unmatched in speed.

Facing the shame of being the first Void-Devouring Tiger to die in the mouth of this mixed-blooded beast, it felt unspeakable humiliation.

Man and beast each had their own thoughts, yet before they could catch their breath, the Cold Flood Dragon had already caught up.

With a Divine Dragon Tail Swing, it sent the man and beast flying.

A massive open mouth followed closely behind.

Yang Yan only felt the world go dark, and the next moment he lost consciousness.

"Ah! I haven’t lived enough yet, did I die so quickly?" A bout of excruciating pain woke Yang Yan, and he heard the wailing of the Void-Devouring Tiger in his ears.

Yang Yan was in a daze—could he really be dead...

Had he reached the world after death so quickly?

He pinched his own cheek, finding it still painful, and couldn’t help but feel a wave of joy in his heart.

At the same time, a heart-wrenching pain coursed through his entire body.

Yang Yan nearly fainted again.

After struggling for a while, he finally managed to stand up and stagger towards the crying Void-Devouring Tiger, slapping it.

"What are you wailing about? You’re still not..." Yang Yan choked back his words.

"Not what? We’re dead, why are you still bothering me like this?" The Void-Devouring Tiger was crying rivers of tears.

Even though it was in its Primordial Spirit state, it was crying with vivid depiction.

Yang Yan felt a bit reluctant and poked it, saying, "Aren’t you not dead yet with me here? You’re not alone; I’ll cover you, little brother."

Saying so, he leaned against the Void-Devouring Tiger, arm in arm.

The Void-Devouring Tiger stopped sobbing suddenly and looked at Yang Yan thoughtfully, grinding its teeth silently.

"Since we’re both dead, can you show me the Dragon Lotus you picked earlier? I’ve only heard of it, but never seen the real thing."

The Void-Devouring Tiger looked at Yang Yan with pitiful eyes full of little stars.

This gaze made Yang Yan’s scalp tingle, and he casually took the Dragon Lotus out from his Space Ring and handed it to the Void-Devouring Tiger.

The Void-Devouring Tiger snatched the Dragon Lotus with lightning speed, a sly victorious grin spreading over its face.

Only then did Yang Yan realize.

This damned thing tricked him!

"Hu... oh no! Devouring Void Master, shall we negotiate again?"

Yang Yan looked attentively at the Void-Devouring Tiger toying with the Dragon Lotus, wearing a fawning expression.

"Please, don’t disgust me." The Void-Devouring Tiger was remarkably calm at that moment.

With the Dragon Lotus in hand, was there any need to fear Yang Yan wouldn’t comply?

Seeing its smug look, Yang Yan was inwardly furious!

But on the surface, he had to act unbothered.

Because the Dragon Lotus was far too important to him.

The strength of the Divine Soul is inherently not easy, and the cultivation Dharma Gate is even rarer.

Now with a Sacred Artifact before him capable of enhancing the Power of the Divine Soul, how could he let it go?

For the treasure, he had to set aside his pride.

Unfortunately, the Void-Devouring Tiger also saw this, appearing impervious to his persuasion.

No matter how eloquent Yang Yan spoke, it remained unmoved.

In frustration, Yang Yan suddenly had a spark of inspiration, confidently stating, "What if I said I could help you rebuild your body!"

"Are you serious?!" The Void-Devouring Tiger’s eyes widened in disbelief.

Yang Yan suddenly burst into hearty laughter, and when he had laughed enough, he put on a serious face and said:

"Since your Primordial Spirit is intact, if there is a corresponding method and materials, do you think it’s fake?"

Just as Yang Yan anticipated, nothing could be more tempting to the Void-Devouring Tiger than rebuilding its body.

Hearing his words, the Void-Devouring Tiger’s excitement was hard to contain.

Hearing Yang Yan speak with determination, though at first there was some skepticism, it soon became belief.

Almost immediately, its attitude towards Yang Yan changed dramatically, looking flattering.

Yang Yan found it amusing internally but showed no outward reaction; he only intended to help the Void-Devouring Tiger rebuild its body if it returned the Dragon Lotus to him.

The man and the tiger reached an agreement, and then turned their attention to their location.

They both were puzzled as to why they ended up there.

After being hit by the Cold Flood Dragon’s tail, both man and beast were shaken, and then lost consciousness.

Yang Yan retained only enough awareness to vaguely perceive that he seemed to have accidentally entered a hidden space.

Since all the surrounding information was entirely isolated, it turned out to be a whole new world.

Uncertain of how they had entered, the best option was to figure out their current location and then find an exit.

Without thinking much, Yang Yan calmed his mind, released his Divine Sense, trying to cover the surrounding space as much as possible.

After some exploration, he roughly understood their current situation.

If his deduction was correct, this should be a basement within the Demon Cave.

And at the very center, they found a grand altar.

The decorations were exceptionally luxurious, festooned with various bejeweled ornaments.

Furthermore, all these gems were refined by experts, even engraved with intricate runes.

However, when Yang Yan attempted to decipher these runes, he discovered they were completely different from any he had known.

Even after half a day of effort, he couldn’t ascertain the purpose of these runes.

"I say, Hu, do you have any insight?" Yang Yan couldn’t help but ask the native Void-Devouring Tiger beside him.

The Void-Devouring Tiger shook its head dazedly: "Can’t tell. These things are too ancient, never before seen."

Yang Yan was thoroughly exasperated.

Since even this fellow claimed not to know, he was naturally helpless.

Thus, the man and the tiger had no choice but to give up on the altar research and start searching the surroundings carefully to see if they could find any useful clues.
