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

15: The Secret Realm Appears! Ancient Trials and Bloodline ShacklesDi Tian stared at the trembling Divine Artifact fragment in his hand, the runes on it flickering like flames, casting a crimson glow on his palm.

The System’s alert resonated in his Sea of Consciousness: [Ding! The fragment’s energy resonates with a Secret Realm three thousand miles away; energy fluctuation intensity: dangerous level]

At the same time, a clear cry pierced the sky: [Ding! The 939th offspring is born, Awakening Wind and Wood dual attributes! Gained Dao Cultivation x 120]

His White Tiger Consort was gently licking the wet fur of the cub, while his Silver Moon Fox Consort vigilantly looked into the distance, the tip of her tail twitching uneasily.

”Father, there’s a strange aura in that cloud!” Candle Shadow suddenly leaped onto a rock, his vertical eye shimmering with faint light.

Di Tian followed his gaze, only to see a dark purple cloud accumulating in the western sky at some unknown time.

Ancient runes faintly appeared within the cloud, each pattern echoing the engravings on the Divine Artifact fragment.

His Azure Phoenix Lover flew over, the airflow from her wings carrying unfamiliar Spiritual Qi fluctuations: ”Your Majesty, that cloud is devouring the surrounding Spiritual Qi!”

[Alert! Ancient Secret Realm ’Five Elements Trial Ground’ detected; entry requires Bloodline authentication]

[Hint: Passing the trial can unlock the fourth transformation of the Candle Dragon Bloodline, but there is a risk of permanently losing some Bloodline Power]

Di Tian’s heart tightened abruptly.

He looked down at the faintly visible golden patterns beneath his scales; the power of the Candle Dragon Bloodline surged within his body, yet it was accompanied by a faint stinging pain—ever since he awakened his Bloodline, he often felt a force trying to break free from its shackles.

And at this moment, the pressure from the Secret Realm made this restlessness even more intense.

”I must go in.”

He muttered to himself, ”No matter what the risks, the secret of the Divine Artifact and the future of my clan cannot allow me to shrink back.”

The moment Di Tian stepped into the cloud, space violently twisted.

A desolate battlefield appeared before his eyes, where the Five Elements Power raged in a wild frenzy: Metal-elemental Spiritual Qi transformed into thousands of blades swirling in the air, Water-elemental Spiritual Qi condensed into roaring ice dragons, and Fire-elemental Spiritual Qi formed a sky-obscuring sea of fire.

[Trial First Stage: Five Elements Balance]

As soon as the System’s prompt sounded, five giant energy pythons of different attributes lunged at him with bared fangs.

”The Five Elements generate each other, and can also overcome each other!” Di Tian wielded his five elements panlong halberd, the golden light at its tip surging, directing the Metal-elemental python’s attack towards the Fire-elemental ice dragon.

Immediately after, Wood-elemental Spiritual Qi transformed into vines, entangling the Water-elemental python, and Earth-elemental power condensed into mountains, suppressing the remaining two pythons.

However, just as he was about to complete the balance, all the energy suddenly went out of control, wildly backlashing against him.

[Warning! Bloodline Power fluctuation abnormal; it is recommended to immediately interrupt the trial!]

Di Tian’s scales were torn, and blood gushed out.

But he gritted his teeth, the smiling faces of his cubs and the worried eyes of his consorts flashing through his mind.

”I cannot lose!”

He let out a Heaven Defying Dragon Roar, forcibly circulating the Candle Dragon Nine Transformations, and multi-colored light erupted around him.

”Candle Dragon · Primordial Unity!” The Five Elements Power, under his control, returned to balance, forming a massive Five Elements Yin and Yang fish that devoured all the energy.

[Ding! Passed the first stage of the trial, gained Five Elements Origin Power x 1]

[Ding! The 940th offspring is born, triggering Bloodline resonance! Gained Dao Cultivation x 180]

Before he could catch his breath, the second stage of the trial had already descended.

A giant formed by the condensation of Five Elements Power slowly stood up, each step making the ground tremble.

”This is the Five Elements Guardian; only by defeating it with pure Bloodline Power can you pass.”

In the System’s cold prompt, a single punch from the giant brought forth a Five Elements storm.

Di Tian felt as if the Bloodline Power within him was about to burst through his Meridians, the intense pain almost causing him to lose consciousness.

But when he saw the same runes as the Divine Artifact fragment appearing beneath the giant’s feet, a surge of determination filled his heart.

”Break for me!” He forcibly activated the fourth transformation of the Candle Dragon Bloodline, which he had not yet fully mastered, completely transforming his Dragon head and Tiger body into his Dragon Transformation Human Form, with a Five-Colored Divine Dragon phantom coiling around him.

The five elements panlong halberd erupted with dazzling light, directly piercing the giant’s heart.

When he exited the Secret Realm, Di Tian’s Dragon Transformation Human Form was still trembling slightly.

He looked at the new mysterious patterns on his palm, knowing that he was one step closer to the truth, but had also paid a heavy price.

Meanwhile, in the shadows of the cultivation world, countless eyes were staring at this area of frequent anomalies; a larger storm was brewing...
