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

16: The storm is gathering! The various parties are playing games in the undercurrentDi Tian returned to his lair, his body slightly weary, as his Dragon Transformation Human Form gradually receded, his golden scales faintly glowing under the moonlight.

As he stepped into his territory, he heard the System’s urgent alert: ”Ding! Multiple unfamiliar spiritual energy fluctuations detected, approaching the lair in a fan shape!”

At the same time, the alert: ”Ding! The 941st descendant has been born, Awakening the dual attributes of Thunder and Gold! Gained Dao Cultivation x 130” also followed.

His White Tiger Consort immediately approached him vigilantly, her amber eyes filled with concern: ”Are enemies coming?”

Di Tian nodded, his gaze sharp as he looked into the distance.

Three distinct auras were rapidly approaching—from the southeast, a scorching red spiritual energy, the clear mark of the Burning Heaven Sect; from the southwest, a cold and sinister aura, identical to the energy fluctuations of the Netherworld Palace from before; and directly from the north, a grand and righteous Qi carrying immense pressure, which was surprisingly the aura of the Profound Heaven Sword Sect, a renowned sect in the cultivation world.

”Warning! Detecting a Burning Heaven Sect Nascent Soul Late Stage Elder, a mysterious envoy from the Netherworld Palace (strength unknown), and a Profound Heaven Sword Sect Enforcement Elder. It is recommended to activate the defensive Formation.”

His Silver Moon Fox Consort swiftly darted to Di Tian’s side, the fox fire on her tail flickering: ”They mean no good; it seems they have learned about the Divine Artifact fragment.”

His Azure Phoenix Lover also circled in the air, her sharp cries echoing through the mountains, warning the clan to prepare for battle.

Di Tian gripped his five elements panlong halberd, the Dragon patterns on the halberd trembling violently with his master’s rage.

The first to arrive was the Burning Heaven Sect Elder, who stood on a battle vessel burning with crimson flames, followed by dozens of Cultivators wielding fiery blades.

”Demon beast, hand over the Divine Artifact fragment, don’t force us to flatten your old nest!”

No sooner had the Elder spoken than the battle vessel spewed forth raging flames, instantly dyeing the entire sky crimson.

Di Tian’s spiritual energy surged around him, and his Five Elements Domain unfurled, water-attribute spiritual energy transforming into a torrential downpour, instantly extinguishing the flames.

Just then, the people from the Netherworld Palace appeared like phantoms.

The mysterious envoy leading them wore a black robe, and black mist seeped from the skull patterns on his mask: ”Last time you were lucky enough to escape, but this time you won’t be so fortunate.”

With a wave of the bone staff in his hand, the ground cracked open with countless fissures, from which countless Netherworld Worms crawled out; wherever these worms passed, vegetation rapidly withered.

Di Tian’s eyes narrowed, and he mobilized wood-attribute spiritual energy, causing towering trees to rise from the ground, forming a barrier to block the swarm of worms, while at the same time, the fire of purification ignited, burning the Netherworld Worms to ashes.

However, the people from the Profound Heaven Sword Sect did not rush to attack.

The Enforcement Elder, holding an ancient longsword, spoke loudly: ”Descendant of the Candle Dragon, the Divine Artifact fragment concerns all living beings under heaven; it should not fall into the hands of the Yao Race.

If you hand it over, the Profound Heaven Sword Sect can ensure the safety of your clan.”

These words seemed righteous but contained a hidden threat.

Di Tian sneered: ”Using the welfare of all living beings as a pretext for plunder, you so-called righteous sects are truly hypocritical!”

The encirclement by the three forces plunged Di Tian into a bitter struggle.

The flames of the Burning Heaven Sect and the evil arts of the Netherworld Palace cooperated with each other, while the Sword Qi of the Profound Heaven Sword Sect occasionally launched sneak attacks, trying to disrupt his defense.

Di Tian’s scales were scorched by flames and cut by Sword Qi, and his blood stained the ground.

But his eyes grew even more resolute; he turned to look at the hungry younglings in the lair and his companions who were fully supporting him from behind, and boundless strength surged within him.

”Ding! Triggered Bloodline Resonance, all descendants spontaneously injected spiritual energy!”

”Ding! The 942nd descendant has been born, Awakening the Five Elements Harmonization Physique! Gained Dao Cultivation x 250”

With the birth of the new descendant, Di Tian’s power instantly surged.

He let out a furious roar, forcefully activating the fourth transformation of the Candle Dragon Nine Transformations; in his Dragon Transformation Human Form, he was enveloped by the illusory image of a Five-Colored Divine Dragon, and his five elements panlong halberd erupted with dazzling light.

”Five Elements - Myriad Manifestations Return to One!”

He compressed the Five Elements Power to its extreme, forming a giant energy sphere, which he launched towards the three forces.

The shockwave generated by the violent explosion sent the Cultivators from the three forces sprawling.

The Burning Heaven Sect Elder’s battle vessel was destroyed, cracks appeared on the Netherworld Palace mysterious envoy’s mask, and the Profound Heaven Sword Sect Enforcement Elder’s longsword also had a chip.

Seeing Di Tian’s immense power, the three forces, though unwilling, could only temporarily retreat.

”Ding! Repelled the combined attack of the three major forces, gained Dao Cultivation x 1800!”

”Achievement Unlocked: Force of a Thousand Jin, gained permanent defense attribute increase.”

”Current Panel:”

After the battle, Di Tian looked at the messy ground, knowing that this was merely the calm before the storm.

The various forces would never give up, and the disputes brought by the Divine Artifact fragment had only just begun.

He clenched his fist, secretly vowing in his heart: no matter how many enemies lay ahead, he would protect his clan and uncover the secret behind the Divine Artifact.
