Reborn As a Tiger: I Become Invincible by Relying on the Number of Offspring

12: The Dragon Spear Appears! A Trial of Life and Death in the Land of InheritanceThe strong winds from the far west carried sand and grit, scraping against Di Tian’s golden scales like blades.

He looked up at the cloud-shrouded mountain peaks; the crisscrossing patterns on the mountain surface were identical to the totems on the candle dragon jade slip, and the ancient pressure permeating the air made his heart pound.

“Is the ultimate Legacy of the Candle Dragon Bloodline truly hidden here?”

Di Tian muttered to himself, both anticipating the unveiling of his Bloodline’s secrets and vaguely worried about unknown dangers.

As the mountain winds howled, Di Tian’s thoughts drifted to his distant nest.

His White Tiger Consort was gently licking the fur of their cubs, her amber eyes full of maternal love; her tiger ears occasionally twitched softly; some of his Lovers were crouching to shield the cubs from the scorching sun, the flowing light on their tails gently shimmering with their movements.

These images filled his heart with warmth and strengthened his resolve to seek the Legacy and protect his clan.

“Ding! The 932nd offspring has been born, Awakening a Water Spiritual Root! Gained 150 Dao Cultivation!”

“Ding! Special spiritual energy field detected in the Legacy Land, Host’s Five Elements Power increased by 20%!”

No sooner had the System prompt sounded than the ground suddenly trembled.

Three enormous dark shadows shot out from a crack in the mountain — they were three Lava Lizards, each ten zhang tall, with liquid flames flowing over their bodies and breath capable of instantly vaporizing rock.

“Warning! Encountered ancient exotic species ‘Lava Lizard’, recommended to prioritize attacking its abdominal weakness!”

Di Tian’s pupils contracted slightly, his sharp claws unconsciously rubbing the ground, “It seems to get the Legacy, I must first pass this trial.”

The battle erupted instantly.

The leading Lava Lizard swung its tail, and flames swept over like a tide.

Di Tian activated Divine Travel Technique to soar into the air, his Five Elements Domain unfurling beneath him, golden rays shooting towards the lizard’s tail like a torrential downpour.

However, the Lava Lizard’s scales were harder than profound iron; the attacks only left shallow marks on its body.

“Normal attacks are useless?”

Di Tian’s heart sank; his peripheral vision caught the other two Lava Lizards forming a triangular formation to outflank him, their scorching breaths intertwining into a net of fire in the air.

“Ding! The 933rd offspring has been born, with a Middle Stage Physique! Gained 100 Dao Cultivation!”

At the critical moment, Di Tian activated his newly Awakened “Candle Dragon Insight” talent.

The faint spiritual energy fluctuations within the fire net were captured by him, and the phantom of a Dragon head with a Tiger body suddenly appeared, “Candle Dragon Burns the Heavens!”

A flame imbued with ancient Dragon might surged from his mouth, directly igniting the fire net and engulfing the Lava Lizards in reverse.

The leading giant lizard let out a painful roar, a charred hole burned into the soft flesh of its abdomen.

The other two Lava Lizards became enraged at the sight, simultaneously opening their gaping maws.

Di Tian felt the air instantly solidify as two laser beams, as thick as bowls, tore through the air.

“Not good!”

He hastily gathered earth-attribute spiritual power to form a shield, but it was instantly pierced by the lasers.

The intense pain from his right claw made him stagger and fall to the ground, golden blood seeping from beneath his scales.

“Can’t be careless, these guys’ attacks carry the Law Power!”

Di Tian wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, his eyes burning with fighting spirit.

“Detected Host in critical condition, automatically activating ‘Beast Kings Blessing’! Offspring temporarily inject 30% life force!”

Following the System prompt, Di Tian felt the life force of over nine hundred offspring surge into his body like a warm current.

His thoughts returned to the nest; his White Tiger Consort must be anxiously awaiting his return, those eyes always full of trust, perhaps now full of worry; the Silver Moon Fox Consort, intelligent and cunning, might be organizing the clan to strengthen their defenses; and the Azure Phoenix Lover would be circling high in the sky, vigilant against any potential threats.

Thinking of his companions, Di Tian let out a long roar to the sky, Five Elements spiritual power condensing into a tangible light blade in his claws, “Five Elements Unification!”

Five rays of light burst forth simultaneously: golden blades sliced through lizard armor, wooden vines entangled giant claws, water prisons trapped movement, flames scorched wounds, and earthen spikes pierced joints.

The offensive of the three Lava Lizards was instantly dismantled, and one of them crashed to the ground.

The remaining two Lava Lizards let out desperate roars, beginning to furiously burn their own essence blood.

Their bodies swelled several times in size, and a strange purple light flickered in their eyes.

“Warning! Lava Lizards entering self-destruct state, recommended to evacuate immediately!”

Di Tian, however, advanced instead of retreating, “Want to perish together? Not that easy!”

He mobilized all his spiritual power, summoning the phantom of the five elements panlong halberd — the prototype of an ancient Divine Artifact from a quest reward.

The tip of the halberd cut through the Void Realm, and the Five Elements Power formed a giant vortex.

Di Tian roared and threw the halberd, the vortex instantly engulfing the two Lava Lizards.

The violent explosion shook the mountain, and when the smoke cleared, a bottomless giant pit appeared on the ground.

Di Tian panted, kneeling on one knee, several scales on his body shattered, but a smile hung on his lips, “This battle was worth it!”

“Ding! Defeated Lava Lizard × 3, gained 300 Dao Cultivation!”

“Achievement ‘Exotic Species Bane’ unlocked, gained passive skill: Elemental Resistance Enhancement!”

Dragging his weary body to the mountaintop, an ancient altar appeared before his eyes.

In the center of the altar was an ancient halberd covered in rust, with a vivid Dragon pattern coiling around its shaft, as if it could break through the air at any moment.

The instant Di Tian’s fingertips touched the halberd’s hilt, a torrent of memories surged into his Sea of Consciousness — it was the combat experience of successive powerhouses of the Candle Dragon Bloodline, and the supreme secret to mastering the Five Elements Law.

“Bloodline Awakening level Breakthrough 100%! Unlocked Ultimate Form: Candle Dragon True Body!”

“Ding! The 934th offspring has been born, Awakening dual Wood and Fire attributes! Gained 245 Dao Cultivation!”

Just then, the altar suddenly trembled violently, and a figure rose from beneath the ground.

The person was shrouded in black mist, holding chains similar to those of Xuan Yinzi, “The Candle Dragon Bloodline truly lives up to its reputation, but your path ends here.”

With a raise of the mysterious person’s hand, the chains transformed into thousands of venomous snakes and lunged forward.

Di Tian gripped the five elements panlong halberd he had just acquired, its tip bursting with five-colored light, “Want to stop me? Ask this Dragon Halberd first!”

The battle resumed, venomous snakes intertwined with halberd shadows, Five Elements Power clashing with dark energy.

Every time Di Tian swung the Dragon Halberd, it caused a celestial phenomenon: the golden halberd tore through space, the wooden halberd spawned thorns, the water halberd condensed tsunamis, the fire halberd burned the sky, and the earth halberd suppressed the ground.

The mysterious person gradually fell into a disadvantage, letting out an unwilling roar, “Impossible! You clearly haven’t fully mastered the Candle Dragon Legacy…”

“But I have something I must protect!”

The figures of his cubs and companions flashed in Di Tian’s eyes, and his Bloodline Power completely erupted.

The phantom of the Candle Dragon True Body appeared, its Dragon head swallowing the mysterious person’s attack in one gulp, and its Dragon tail sweeping to send him flying.

The moment the five elements panlong halberd pierced the opponent’s chest, the mysterious person’s black mist dissipated, revealing the robes of a Xuanxiao Sect Elder.

“Ding! Defeated a Xuanxiao Sect Nascent Soul Middle Stage Elder, gained 1200 Dao Cultivation!”

“Obtained xuanxiao sect secret jade slip, recording the core of the ‘Hundred Demon Soul Refining Formation’!”

Di Tian leaned on the Dragon Halberd, panting, a cold smile on his face as he looked at the spoils of war, “Xuanxiao Sect, your lair is next.”

He turned to look east, the direction of his clan.

At this moment, his White Tiger Consort might be eagerly waiting at the nest entrance, his Silver Moon Fox Consort carefully teaching the cubs survival skills, and his Azure Phoenix Lover might be weaving a warm nest for their newborn offspring.

“Wait for me to return with the Legacy; no one will ever harm you again.”

As the last System prompt sounded, Di Tian put away his Dragon Halberd and began his journey home.

“Ding! Hidden quest triggered: Counterattack Xuanxiao Sect!”

“Quest Reward: Unknown Divine Artifact Fragment × 1, unlock ‘Yao Race Army’ Cultivation System!”
