Chapter 621 - 615: A Fury of Rage for a Beauty

After the two Heaven and Earth Spirits appeared, Shen Haoran didn’t hesitate for a moment, smashing the Fire Spirit Black Obsidian and Earth Spirit Profound Nether together. A loud BANG instantly erupted in his palm.

However, the explosive sound in Shen Haoran’s hand quickly subsided. After advancing to a Seventh Grade Alchemist, his Spiritual Thought had undergone a qualitative transformation. Unleashing the Flame Sun Burst—formed by fusing the two Heaven and Earth Spirits—was no longer much of a challenge.

Shen Haoran slowly opened his palm. The two Heaven and Earth Spirits that had been dancing there were gone. Now, all that remained was a lifelike little Qilin Beast, from which emanated a destructive aura that caused the very space around it to twist and warp.

"Stop, Your Excellency! I don’t know how my Golden Rat Race has offended you, but we are willing to offer compensation! We will agree to any of your terms!" The Clan Leader of the Golden Rat Race appeared just as the Qilin Beast in Shen Haoran’s hand finished forming. The moment he saw it, his pupils constricted, and he shouted his plea.

"Compensation? No. The sins you’ve committed can only be repaid with your lives. There is no other way!" Shen Haoran shook his head, his expression cold and detached. The thought of Lady Ya’s terrible condition and the pain she had endured caused the killing intent in his heart to skyrocket. Without wasting another word, he hurled the Qilin Beast from his hand.

"ROAR!" The Qilin Beast left Shen Haoran’s palm and charged toward the small village below. In a single instant, it swelled from the size of his hand into a Qilin Giant Beast dozens of feet tall, its destructive aura growing ever more terrifying.

"Defend!" the Clan Leader of the Golden Rat Race roared as he saw the Qilin Giant Beast charge toward them. Spiritual Power surged from his body as if it cost nothing, launching relentless attacks in an attempt to halt the beast’s advance. However, before his Spiritual Power could even make contact, it was instantly vaporized into nothingness by the black flames swirling around the Qilin.

The Qilin Giant Beast was like a Divine Weapon descended from the heavens; no one could impede its path. Even when all the Martial Artists of the Golden Rat Race attacked in unison, they only managed to slow its advance for a moment. A second later, as they watched with eyes full of despair, the Qilin Giant Beast detonated. A monstrous inferno and a terrifying storm of Spiritual Power instantly swept through the area. The once-peaceful valley trembled violently, and the small village within it was devoured by the sea of flames, incinerated to ash in an instant...

The terrifying sea of fire and the Spiritual Power storm continued to rage, the radius of destruction ever-expanding. In the end, even the surrounding mountainsides were razed to the ground. The destructive attack formed from the fusion of Fire Spirit Black Obsidian and Earth Spirit Profound Nether was no joke—after all, these were Heaven and Earth Spirits!

After a long while, the raging sea of fire and the storm of Spiritual Power slowly dissipated. The once lush, green valley and the bustling village below had been transformed into a scorched wasteland. As for the Golden Rat Race, they had presumably been incinerated to nothing but ash by the terrifying attack.

HUFF... PUFF... High in the air, Shen Haoran tossed a few Spirit Revitalizing Pills into his mouth to restore his nearly depleted Spiritual Power. Flame Sun Burst was his most powerful attack, bar none. A technique of such immense power naturally consumed an astronomical amount of energy. Even though Shen Haoran’s Spiritual Power reserves were as vast as an ocean, he could only unleash Flame Sun Burst once, and doing so completely drained him, making it a struggle to even remain airborne.

As he felt his Spiritual Power slowly recovering, Shen Haoran cast one last, emotionless glance at the ruins of the Golden Rat Race’s lair below before turning to leave. Wiping out the entire Golden Rat Race with a single strike—this was his revenge. This was the price they paid for what they did to Lady Ya. But Shen Haoran’s vengeance was far from over. The direction he now flew was straight toward the territory of the Central Capital White Tiger Clan!

...

Within the territory of the Central Capital White Tiger Clan, inside a dimly lit grand hall, a massive White Tiger statue sat coiled. Its eyes were bright and piercing, gazing down upon everything in the hall. Though merely a statue, it exuded an aura of unrivaled, world-dominating supremacy.

"What is the situation? Have you found the woman from the White Fox Race?" Beneath the White Tiger statue, a middle-aged man in ornate robes asked a kneeling guard in a low, stern voice.

"Reporting to the Clan Leader, not yet. The woman has hidden herself deep within the boundless mountains. Finding her will still require some effort," the guard replied respectfully.

"We must speed things up. That woman was afflicted with our White Tiger Race’s Bloodthirsty Godslaying Powder; she can’t have gotten far. The purest Nine-tailed White Fox Bloodline flows in her veins! If we can seize it, my Dark Demon Tiger Clan will have a chance to awaken our own White Tiger bloodline to its absolute peak, allowing the legendary White Tiger Divine Beast to walk the earth once more! When that happens, the entire Demon Race will fall under our control!" A fervent glint flashed in the man’s eyes as he spoke, his voice filled with excitement.

"Yes!" The guard below nodded emphatically. He knew that the so-called Four Great Divine Beast Families of the Demon Race Central City were, in truth, merely other races who happened to possess the bloodlines of the Four Great Divine Beasts. If they could fully awaken the Divine Beast Bloodline within them, there was a genuine chance they could break through their limits and become true Divine Beasts. Then, the entire Demon Race would be theirs to control.

"Clan Leader! This is terrible! We’re under attack!" Just as the Clan Leader and the guard were lost in their fantasies about the future, a panicked cry from outside the hall shattered their reverie.

"Who dares attack my White Tiger Race!" Hearing the panicked shouts, the Clan Leader snorted coldly. In a flash, he vanished, reappearing an instant later in the main courtyard.

GASP... When the Clan Leader looked up at the sky, he couldn’t help but draw a sharp breath. A figure in black robes hovered in mid-air. Behind him, a colossal beast circled, so massive it blotted out half the sky. Black flames and an earthy-yellow Spiritual Power Vortex swirled around the creature. A destructive aura poured down from it, instantly demolishing several buildings in the courtyard below.

This black-robed figure was, of course, Shen Haoran, having rushed back from outside Central City. He had completely concealed his identity and was drawing on the power of both Elder Yan and Changmao. He had played all his trump cards to create the most terrifying Flame Sun Burst he could possibly muster.

The strength of the White Tiger Race was far beyond that of the Golden Rat Race. Shen Haoran knew that even this Flame Sun Burst wouldn’t cause them a devastating amount of damage, but it would be more than enough to make them hurt for a good long while. As for the rest... he would settle the full score with the White Tiger Race after the competition for the title of Pill Emperor.

"Your Excellency, this is the territory of the White Tiger Race! An act like this is a declaration of war!" the Clan Leader said in a low, menacing tone, feeling the destructive aura emanating from the beast behind Shen Haoran.

"Nine-tailed White Fox Bloodline. Bloodthirsty Godslaying Powder. The Golden Rat Race. None of these should be unfamiliar to you," Shen Haoran said calmly, ignoring the man’s threat.

Hearing this, the Clan Leader’s pupils contracted. The White Tiger Race had gone to great lengths to keep this matter a secret from the other Divine Beast Clans. It was impossible for an outsider to know... unless this person was...

"Who in the world are you?" the Clan Leader demanded.

"The one here to collect your debt!" Shen Haoran snorted. His hands flashed through a Seal Technique, and the massive Qilin Giant Beast behind him transformed into a black meteor, smashing down toward the White Tiger Race’s compound. The attack was saturated with all of Shen Haoran’s fury and killing intent. To fly into a rage for the sake of a beautiful woman—that was Shen Haoran in this very moment...

[P.S. I have an exam tomorrow, so the next update might be a little late. Just giving everyone a heads-up!]
