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

18: The Blood Moon! A Game of Life and Death in the Abyss of No ReturnThe Blood Moon hung in the sky like a drop of congealed blood, and a thick, inky miasma permeated the air above the Unreturning Abyss.

Di Tian stood at the core of the Formation, his Five Elements Power resonating with the ancient grand Formation beneath the earth, as the patterns carved with Candle Dragon totems on the ground slowly absorbed the moonlight.

”Ding! Detected that all three major forces have entered the Unreturning Abyss range, triggering the ultimate trap countdown: three hours!” The System’s notification rang out in his Sea of Consciousness, and at the same time, ”Ding! The 945th descendant has been born, Awakening the attribute of Thunder Fire Demon Breaking! Obtained Dao Cultivation x 160” also followed.

He gripped the five elements panlong halberd, his gaze sweeping over the elite members of his clan hidden in the shadows.

White Tiger Consort led the melee Yao Beasts in ambush at the four corners of the Formation, Silver Moon Fox Consort led the illusionist group through the mist, and Azure Phoenix Lover led the aerial units, circling in the clouds, awaiting orders.

Candle Shadow led the young ones who had awakened special talents to form a ”Spiritual Energy Transmission Formation”; their palms connected, continuously pouring spiritual energy into the grand Formation.

”I hope you don’t disappoint me,” Di Tian murmured softly, his Candle Dragon Bloodline beneath his scales feeling slightly hot from tension.

Three hours later, Burning Heaven Sect’s crimson warship was the first to break through the clouds.

On the warship’s deck, a Nascent Soul Late Stage Elder formed a hand seal, and the entire warship instantly transformed into a hundred-zhang Fire Phoenix, its sharp Phoenix cry distorting the air.

”Demon beasts! Die!” The Fire Phoenix’s sharp claw tore through the miasma, pouncing directly at Di Tian.

Almost simultaneously, the mysterious envoy from Netherworld Palace appeared from the Void Realm; the blood bead at the tip of his bone staff burst forth with a dazzling red light, and countless cracks appeared in the ground, from which swarms of Netherworld Scorpions covered in poisonous spines crawled out.

The Law Enforcement Elder of Profound Heaven Sword Sect, leading a hundred Sword Cultivators, transformed their Sword Formation into a brilliant river of stars, Sword Qi pouring down like the Milky Way, sealing off all escape routes.

”Perfect timing,” Di Tian sneered, the Five-Colored Divine Dragon phantom in his Dragon Transformation Human Form suddenly expanding.

He swung the dragon halberd, and the golden light at its tip surged: ”Five Elements - Myriad Manifestation Prison!” Five Elements Power of metal, wood, water, fire, and earth intertwined to form a massive cage, temporarily trapping the Fire Phoenix, the Netherworld Scorpion swarm, and the Sword Formation.

However, the three forces quickly reacted.

The Burning Heaven Sect Elder spat out a mouthful of vital blood, and the Fire Phoenix’s flames instantly increased in temperature by several times; the mysterious envoy of Netherworld Palace chanted incantations, and the Netherworld Scorpion swarm merged into a giant Scorpion King, the venom dripping from its poisonous stinger corroding the ground into bottomless pits; the Profound Heaven Sword Sect Law Enforcement Elder raised his long sword high, and the Sword Formation invoked heavenly thunder, purple lightning striking down like a waterfall.

Di Tian’s scales were scorched by flames, scratched by poisonous needles, and cut by Sword Qi, blood continuously gushing out.

But his eyes grew even calmer, secretly observing the coordination rhythm of the three forces.

”Burning Heaven Sect takes the main attack, Netherworld Palace assists with crowd control, Profound Heaven Sword Sect provides the finishing blow...” He quickly analyzed in his mind, ”As long as I break this cycle...”

Suddenly, he noticed the core of the Profound Heaven Sword Sect’s Sword Formation operation—the seven Sword Cultivators behind the Law Enforcement Elder; their seven-star Formation was the source of the Sword Formation’s power.

”Candle Dragon - Star Breaker!” Di Tian forcibly activated the full power of the fourth transformation of Candle Dragon Nine Transformations, and the Five-Colored Divine Dragon phantom transformed into a streak of light, heading directly for the seven-star position.

The five elements panlong halberd tore through space, instantly severing the long swords of three Sword Cultivators.

The moment a gap appeared in the Sword Formation, the evil arts of Netherworld Palace and the flames of Burning Heaven Sect lost their precise guidance, instead accidentally injuring their own Cultivators.

The battlefield fell into temporary Chaos.

Just then, Di Tian suddenly clenched his fist, and the ancient grand Formation on the ground roared to life.

”Ding! Ultimate Trap - Five Elements Reincarnation Slaughter Formation activated!” The miasma of the Unreturning Abyss transformed into Five Elements chains, wrapping around the three major forces from all directions.

The Fire Phoenix of Burning Heaven Sect had its flames extinguished by water-element chains, the Netherworld Scorpion King was crushed into minced meat by earth-element chains, and the Profound Heaven Sword Sect’s Sword Formation was torn into fragments by metal-element chains.

The Cultivators of the three forces discovered in horror that their spiritual energy was being uncontrollably drawn out by the grand Formation.

”Impossible! How could this Formation...” The Burning Heaven Sect Elder’s roar was drowned out by the Five Elements Power.

Di Tian took the opportunity to fly towards the Blood Moon, and the Divine Artifact fragment in his hand resonated strongly with the moonlight.

All the runes on the fragment lit up, and a pillar of light shot up into the sky, illuminating the entire Unreturning Abyss.

In the pillar of light, Di Tian saw an astonishing scene—behind the three major forces, a group of mysterious figures in black robes had appeared at some unknown point, holding Magical Artifacts similar to those of Netherworld Palace, and were setting up an even larger Formation.

”Warning! Detected unknown forces are activating the ’Outer Realm Summoning Formation’!” The System’s alarm caused Di Tian’s pupils to constrict.

He immediately understood the true purpose behind the three major forces—they weren’t simply after the Divine Artifact fragment, but intended to use his and his clan’s blood as sacrifices to summon evil entities from beyond!

”You want to use me as a sacrifice? You’re not worthy!” Di Tian’s spiritual energy surged wildly, and his Candle Dragon Bloodline completely erupted.

He plunged the five elements panlong halberd into the core of the grand Formation, roaring: ”Five Elements - Reversal of Heaven and Earth!” The Five Elements Power of the entire Unreturning Abyss began to reverse its operation, not only cutting off the energy source of the Outer Realm Summoning Formation but also returning all the extracted spiritual energy to his clan.

In the Chaos, Di Tian glimpsed the mysterious envoy of Netherworld Palace attempting to escape.

He sneered, his dragon claw tearing through the air to grab him: ”Leave your life behind!” The Five-Colored Divine Dragon phantom swallowed the mysterious envoy in one gulp, its powerful force crushing him along with his Nascent Soul.

”Ding! Defeated hidden BOSS Netherworld Palace Mysterious Envoy, obtained Dao Cultivation x 2500!” The System’s notification caused Di Tian’s strength to surge again.

At this moment, the Profound Heaven Sword Sect Law Enforcement Elder finally regained consciousness; he swung his sword to cut off the restraints and shouted loudly: ”Retreat! We’ve been used!” The Burning Heaven Sect Elder also realized the situation was dire and quickly recalled his remaining troops.

But how could Di Tian easily let them go? He mobilized the power of the grand Formation, and the Five Elements chains surged like a tide, entangling the Cultivators attempting to escape one by one.

”Ding! The 946th descendant has been born, Awakening the attribute of Chaos Devouring! Obtained Dao Cultivation x 350”

The Blood Moon gradually faded its blood-red color, and the battlefield of the Unreturning Abyss finally returned to calm.

Di Tian stood amidst the ruins, gazing at the slightly hot Divine Artifact fragment in his hand, his heart filled with vigilance.

Although this victory was glorious, it also made him aware of the existence of even more terrifying enemies.

”Current Panel: Dao Cultivation Accumulation: 10125 years, Strength Attribute: 9500 kg, Current Cultivation: Golden Core Late Stage Peak (Dragon Transformation Human Form), Magical Arts: - Five Elements Art (Perfection), - Soul Devouring Skill (Improved Version - Can Purify Evil Power), - Candle Dragon Nine Transformations (Awakened 4 Transformations), Talent Skills: - Heaven Defying Dragon Roar, - Candle Dragon Insight, - Five Elements Ancestral Witch Body, - Candle Dragon Burns the Heavens, Passive Skills: - Beast Kings Blessing, - Elemental Resistance Enhancement, - Five Elements Spirit Devouring, Number of Descendants: 946, Special Items: - five elements panlong halberd (Ancient Divine Artifact), - candle dragon jade slip (Incomplete), - xuanxiao sect secret jade slip, - Unknown Divine Artifact Fragment x 1, - netherworld hall bone staff (Awaiting Purification).”

”Outer Realm forces... It seems this battle has only just begun,” Di Tian looked into the distance, his eyes resolute and cold.

He knew that for the future of his clan, and to uncover the secret of the Divine Artifact, he had to become even stronger.

And those enemies hidden in the shadows would eventually pay a heavy price for their actions.
