Chapter 14: The Ancestor of Ten Thousand Tigers, the Star Luo Emperor, Forced to Kneel! A Dragon Tendon Cat Teaser!
How could that possibly be a kitten?
It was clearly a pure-blooded descendant of the Primordial White Tiger, a creature with the potential to reach the True Immortal level!
Primordial Immortal Court, Spirit Beast Garden.
As that childish tiger roar rang out, the entire sky screen seemed to tremble.
The Primordial White Tiger phantom was astonishing. It stood upon the starry river and carried the heavens upon its back, as if a single claw strike could shatter the firmament!
Especially those crimson eyes, like two blazing suns. With just a casual glance, the surrounding void began to crack apart piece by piece!
This was the God of Slaughter from the Perfect World, a pure-blooded lifeform!
…
At the same time, throughout the Douluo Continent, gasps of shock echoed.
"My heavens, what kind of creature is that?!"
"How could such a terrifying White Tiger exist in this world? That aura… is it a hundred thousand years… no, could it be the legendary million-year soul beast?!"
"It's still so small yet already this terrifying. If it grows up, what will it become?!"
"Actually, I'm more curious who just said they could fight a hundred of them. Brother, you're really brave. Aren't you afraid your martial soul will get torn apart?"
…
Douluo Continent, Star Dou Great Forest.
Beside the Lake of Life.
The Titan Giant Ape Er Ming, whose body was as massive as a mountain, was now clutching his head in terror after hearing the roar that seemed to pass through the sky screen.
His enormous body curled up instantly, like a frightened quail burying its head in the dirt.
He could clearly feel that although the White Tiger in the sky screen was only a cub, the bloodline pressure within it was even more tyrannical and pure than the ruler of soul beasts itself!
This was absolute suppression at the level of life itself.
Meanwhile, the Azure Bull Python Da Ming floating in the lake was in an even worse state. Its hundred-meter-long serpentine body had gone completely stiff as it floated helplessly on the surface.
Every scale on its body stood upright due to overwhelming fear, clattering noisily against each other.
"No… this isn't a soul beast!"
"This is a god. This is a beast god!"
Staring at the Primordial White Tiger phantom on the sky screen, Da Ming's enormous bull-like eyes turned bloodshot as it roared in shock.
"Even a million-year soul beast probably wouldn't possess such pure killing intent!"
"What kind of monsters has that world given birth to?!"
"Big brother… I want to go home. I don't want to watch this broadcast anymore."
From the soil nearby, Er Ming's muffled voice cried out like a frightened child. If the bloodline suppression hadn't been so overwhelming that it nearly paralyzed his legs, he would have already turned and fled.
…
Douluo Continent, Endless Ocean.
Demon Whale Sea Region.
This was the forbidden zone of the ocean, a place even the High Priestess of Sea God Island, Bo Saixi, did not dare to enter lightly.
At this moment, ten thousand meters beneath the deep sea.
A gigantic shadow beyond imagination trembled violently in the mud of the seabed.
It was a whale over two hundred meters long.
The Deep Sea Demon Whale King.
It had nine hundred and ninety thousand years of cultivation, only one step away from becoming a god!
Although one of its eyes had once been blinded by the Sea God, it still lived on—the true uncrowned king of the ocean.
Yet at this moment, this overlord of the seas, who normally feared neither heaven nor gods, was desperately wedging its enormous body into the cracks of the seabed rocks, as if trying to bury itself underground.
"Too terrifying… Can soul beasts really reach that step…?"
Within the Deep Sea Demon Whale King's single remaining eye, there was fear far greater than when it had faced the Sea God in the past.
"The energy of Geng Metal… the sovereign of slaughter!"
"I once believed I had already reached the peak of soul beasts. But in front of that White Tiger…"
The Demon Whale King trembled violently. It could feel the aura leaking from the sky screen.
Even a mere trace of that aura through the screen could easily tear apart its proud near-million-year body!
"My cultivation, which infinitely approaches a million years… what does it even count for?"
"In that world, I probably wouldn't even qualify to fill the gaps between its teeth."
"Blub blub…"
Thinking of this, the Deep Sea Demon Whale King released a string of despairing bubbles.
For the first time, it realized that it was nothing more than a frog at the bottom of a well.
It had gazed at the sky from the ocean for nearly a million years, yet never knew there was a greater sky beyond the heavens and gods among beasts.
…
Douluo Continent, Star Luo Empire.
If soul beasts felt fear, then for soul masters who possessed the White Tiger martial soul, this moment was the complete collapse of their faith.
The Star Luo Empire was founded upon martial strength.
The imperial Dai family, with its supreme White Tiger martial soul, ruled over countless subjects and shook the entire continent.
At this moment, within the magnificent imperial court.
The Star Luo Emperor sat upon his dragon throne, originally discussing state affairs with his ministers.
But the moment the tiger's roar from the sky screen echoed out, the soul power within the emperor's body suddenly went completely out of control.
"What is happening?!"
The emperor's expression changed drastically. He was a Titled Douluo-level powerhouse, yet he could no longer control his own martial soul.
Then, before the shocked eyes of all the ministers—
A massive White Tiger phantom forcibly burst out from behind the Star Luo Emperor.
And it wasn't just him.
Every member of the imperial family and every general with White Tiger bloodlines present had their martial souls forcibly summoned.
However, those martial souls, which usually radiated imposing dominance, now looked like grandchildren seeing their ancestor.
They trembled miserably with their heads lowered.
Then suddenly—
Thump!
The White Tiger martial soul behind the emperor bent its forelegs and knelt heavily toward the Primordial White Tiger cub in the sky screen.
If the martial soul kneels, how can its master remain standing?
"No! I am the emperor of a nation! How can I kneel?!"
The Star Luo Emperor's eyes turned red as he desperately circulated his soul power to resist.
But the submission from the very origin of his bloodline was like chains locking his soul.
It was impossible to resist.
Thump!
Finally, before the eyes of the entire imperial court, the ruler of the Star Luo Empire crashed down onto his knees.
Thump! Thump! Thump!
One after another, every official with White Tiger bloodlines fell to their knees as well, prostrating themselves toward the sky screen in reverence.
None of them even dared to raise their heads.
"Your Majesty!"
The other ministers were terrified. They tried to help him up, but an invisible aura of slaughter repelled them instantly.
"Humiliation… what a humiliation!"
Kneeling on the ground, the Star Luo Emperor's veins bulged, and tears filled his tiger-like eyes.
The royal bloodline he had always been proud of, along with the White Tiger martial soul, appeared like nothing more than a slave before the White Tiger of that world.
---
Just as every tiger-type martial soul across the Douluo Continent had been forced to kneel under the pressure of the Primordial White Tiger cub—
The scene on the sky screen suddenly changed again.
Facing the Primordial White Tiger that had awakened with a terrible morning temper, manifesting a colossal phantom tens of thousands of meters tall as if ready to devour heaven and earth—
The nanny standing nearby looked completely calm.
She even appeared slightly impatient.
"Alright, alright, stop roaring."
"If you disturb the Immortal Lord's rest, be careful, or I'll skin you and turn you into a tiger skin rug."
As she spoke, the nanny pulled something golden from her sleeve.
It looked like a rope.
Although only as thick as a thumb, a faint dragon aura continuously emanated from it.
At the end of the rope was tied a brilliantly colored feather.
It looked exactly like a simple cat teaser toy.
But the moment the golden rope appeared—
A terrifying dragon's might spread through the air.
Zhu Zhuqing, who had just managed to stand after the tiger's roar subsided, nearly stumbled and fell again under that pressure.
