Chapter 1685: Chapter 1681: The Origin of the Giant Tiger!

Ren Feifan felt quite astonished and asked curiously, "What exactly is the force you’re talking about?"

This force had been mentioned many times by the mother dragon in Ren Feifan’s previous encounters, but he had never been able to understand its origins.

The Ancient Divine Dragon suddenly cast its gaze into the distance, speaking indifferently:

"Thousands, or even tens of thousands of years ago, a great event occurred in Huaxia that led to the near annihilation of a million cultivators. This is one of the reasons why there are so few cultivators today.

Beneath the land of Huaxia, there is a force lying dormant; a force so powerful that even we, the ancient five divine beasts, may not be able to suppress it. Eventually, that force had to resort to a desperate strategy, using their bodies as a guide and their bloodline’s spirit to stand at five locations in the east, south, west, north, and center of Huaxia."

Later, because the Saint Doctor’s Gate separated Hidden Gate from the secular world, two formations were established in the secular realm while three remained within the Hidden Gate.

Unfortunately, that force changed completely over the course of time.

As far as I know, the current leader of that force intends to release the one sealed beneath the ground by unlocking the five Locking God Formations, and use it for his own purposes! He craves power, desiring to control the entire world!"

Ren Feifan was somewhat shocked by this revelation!

He had heard similar accounts from the mother dragon, only this Ancient Divine Dragon gave a more detailed explanation.

"What exactly happened a thousand years ago?" Ren Feifan asked curiously.

The large Ancient Divine Tiger was shimmering with purple light, its surface covered with dazzling flames, and its body overflowing with threads of lightning. It emanated a magnificent and invincible presence.

Ren Feifan watched the changes in the Ancient Divine Tiger and felt that it was somehow disturbed by the event of a thousand years past.

The Ancient Divine Tiger finally returned its gaze to Ren Feifan.

"Actually, I don’t want to tell you about that event. Even if you possess the Jade Token, it remains a forbidden memory for the cultivators and spirit beasts of that era.

But since Xia has sent you here, I cannot let you remain completely in the dark."

Xia?

Ren Feifan guessed that the so-called Xia should be the mother dragon beneath Tianchi.

The Ancient Divine Tiger continued: "During that Ancient Era, Huaxia saw the birth of five Emperors, so powerful they stood shoulder to shoulder with the world itself."

"And we, the five ancient divine beasts, were merely their mounts."

Ren Feifan was stunned; these powerful ancient divine beasts were actually just mounts? One could only imagine how formidable their masters, those so-called Emperors, truly were.

The Ancient Divine Tiger heaved a sigh, his eyes reflecting a trace of wistfulness, and added: "Regrettably, all of the Emperors perished after that great battle, the world ceased to see the existence of Emperors, leaving only the so-called ancient divine beasts struggling to survive."

Ren Feifan did not wish to continue discussing these Emperors, as it would only bring more sorrowful memories to the ancient divine beast before him.

So, he shifted the topic: "The Locking God Formation once in the secular world, both Xia and I have experienced the pursuit by elusive figures there. Could they be the very same force you mentioned that established the Formation?"

The Ancient Divine Tiger nodded, its eyes emitting a chill: "That individual can wait no longer. After such a long time without being able to break the Ancient God Seal Array, they must find a breakthrough. Since you’ve discovered the secret of the Locking God Formation, you have naturally become their prey."

"However, you need not worry here. When they suppressed me in this place, my strength was not entirely sealed. I’ve fortified this area through certain means, making it impregnable. It’s not easy for anyone to step foot in here. Besides, although the Spiritual Energy of the Secret Realms doesn’t compare to the Ancient Era, it’s still sufficient for use.

The entirety of this region is under my surveillance. I’m the one who kept that group outside the waterfall. Even the person you brought in has been deprived of all senses by me. Our conversation will not be overheard by anyone. Listen carefully to what I’m about to say next!

There are only two remaining Ancient God Seal Arrays within Hidden Gate, but one of them has been completely deciphered by that power. The Ancient Black Tortoise has betrayed our original purpose in setting up the formation to seek its freedom, and has even become that person’s mount, causing mischief everywhere!

Without the suppression of the Black Tortoise, the Huaxia God Seal Array is in grave danger! Once that person awakens, the consequences are unthinkable! Since Xia sent you to me, she must have sensed this as well. But because everything about Xia is visible to that power, she couldn’t tell you herself, and that’s why she had you find me. I must ask you, are you willing or not..."

The Ancient Divine Tiger hadn’t finished speaking when Ren Feifan waved his hand and said, "No, I refuse. I already have a lot on my plate; I can’t afford to get involved in anything else."

Ren Feifan was very clear that even the issues with Saint Doctor’s Gate were giving him a headache, and to get involved in such a grand scheme would be tantamount to seeking death.

Moreover, his mother was still imprisoned beneath the Demon-Sealing Tower. All he wanted was to find the Demon-Sealing Tower, strengthen himself, and then rescue his mother.

He didn’t want to be distracted by other things at this time.

The Ancient Divine Tiger was slightly taken aback. Xia had sent this young man to find him, presumably after considering the youth’s character. Why did he seem like a coward now?

He couldn’t help but feel disappointed.

Even so, he wanted to try to persuade the other party. After all, the power of the Ancient God Seal Array couldn’t hold out for much longer—just a few more years at most. And this young man was the only one who had set foot in this place.

Considering the fate and fortune involved, this young man was the best candidate.

Suddenly, the Ancient Divine Tiger thought of something, and with eyes like flaming embers, he fixed his gaze on Ren Feifan, asking, "I feel a familiar presence in your body. What is it?"

Ren Feifan’s expression changed slightly; the first thing he thought of was the gigantic tiger in the mysterious space!

That tiger also possessed an Ancient Bloodline. Could it be related to the Divine Tiger before him?

In the next second, with a thought, Ren Feifan summoned the gigantic tiger.

The giant tiger was three meters tall. Before, Ren Feifan thought its body was massive, but compared to the Ancient Divine Tiger, it was insignificantly small.

"This... This is actually a Corroding Sky Striped Tiger!"

The Ancient Divine Tiger exclaimed in shock, a hint of surprise flooding his normally impassive face.

The Corroding Sky Striped Tiger was one of the ten great fierce beasts of the Ancient Era, with exceptional combat strength!

Crucially, the body of the Corroding Sky Striped Tiger didn’t hold just one Bloodline! The Divine Dragon and Divine Tiger Bloodlines converged within its body!

A fully-grown Corroding Sky Striped Tiger could even soar through the skies and travel underground, killing unseen.

The Corroding Sky Striped Tiger before him was too small in stature; although it had lived for a very long time, it had yet to grow to its full potential and unleash its true strength.

Such a defiant creature was actually in the possession of a Life Loss Realm youngster, and it appeared to be the youth’s mount, no less. The Ancient Divine Tiger couldn’t help but feel a twinge of astonishment.

Ordinarily, masters could hardly subdue the fiercely temperamental Corroding Sky Striped Tiger, and might even get bitten to death, but how did this youth manage it?
