Ren Venerate Emperor Ji Long's five-year deadline is fast approaching. Ye Zhen returns to North Sea County to oversee preparations and personal matters. Meanwhile, within the Mirage Dragon Pearl, five years have passed, allowing the Sky Wing Three Saints and Liao Feibai to achieve significant cultivation breakthroughs. The Great Sage of Overturning Sea nears his transformation into a four-clawed True Dragon. The Great Saint of Jinghai reveals a new divine ability, Water and Sky Connect, capable of incredible speed. Ye Zhen awakens the Cloud Winged Tiger King Kitten, who also seems to have undergone a transformation.
"Roar!" The earth-shattering roar of a tiger sounded and then abruptly ceased, and with that final cry, the Cloud Winged Tiger King Kitten vanished. Almost as quickly as it had appeared, the silhouette of the Cloud Winged Tiger King Kitten disappeared into nothingness. Ye Zhen had barely registered the shift in the kitten’s appearance before it was gone. This sudden disappearance left Ye Zhen in a state of profound astonishment. However, before Ye Zhen could even deploy his divine sense to locate the vanished Cloud Winged Tiger King Kitten, he felt an instinctive spatial ripple beside him. Turning his head swiftly, he witnessed a colossal tiger head emerging from the void. This sight nearly sent Ye Zhen’s heart into his throat. The sudden materialization of the tiger head, its maw agape, looked capable of swallowing Ye Zhen whole. Yet, observing the playful smirk on the tiger head’s face, a look subtly different from before but instantly recognizable, Ye Zhen knew it was the kitten! "Is this... Void-Breaking?" "Kitten, have you successfully awakened the bloodline of the Void-Breaking Black Tiger King?" Ye Zhen inquired, studying the creature with bewildered curiosity. The kitten nodded fervently, its massive tiger form then beginning to frolic ecstatically around Ye Zhen. Its tail playfully swished before Ye Zhen, while its head and most of its body remained phased out of reality, or its two tiger paws would wrap around Ye Zhen’s waist, the rest of its body still unseen. Clearly, the Cloud Winged Tiger King Kitten was expressing its elation. Five years of relentless cultivation! Finally, it had shattered the shackles of its bloodline, transcended its inherent limitations, and could now traverse the boundless heavens unhindered! The kitten's sheer joy was palpable. And Ye Zhen felt a genuine happiness for the kitten, emanating from the very core of his being. Initially a mid-grade Earth Level Cloud Winged Tiger, the kitten had later ascended to become the Cloud Winged Tiger King. Subsequently, facing a life-or-death crisis, it had miraculously evolved into a Heavenly Level Demon Beast. It was once believed that reaching the Heavenly Level was the kitten's ultimate limit. However, bolstered by the ancient bloodline of the Tiger Clan, it continued to breakthrough, and now, its tireless endeavors had finally yielded their ultimate reward. Consequently, from this moment forward, the kitten would be able to accompany Ye Zhen on his journey indefinitely. It would no longer be relegated to the role of a mere adorable pet, as Ye Zhen’s own cultivation advanced, potentially leaving the kitten behind due to its bloodline constraints. The kitten playfully phased in and out of the void for a good fifteen minutes before finally settling, granting Ye Zhen the opportunity to fully appreciate its transformed appearance. In its current state, the kitten's head radiated an enhanced majesty compared to before. Its fur, which had been predominantly white, now sported a fifty-fifty split of black and white. This striking black-and-white coat formed a captivating mottled pattern across the kitten’s body, creating an immediately arresting visual. Upon closer examination, each pattern seemed to emanate a subtle, mystical aura. During these five years of intensive cultivation, the kitten had not only achieved a significant bloodline breakthrough but had also undergone a remarkable surge in its cultivation realm. Previously at the late stage of the Eighth Stage of the Divine Communication Realm, the kitten had, over these five years, consumed high-grade Thought Spirit Pills – rare treasures – as if they were mere snacks on a daily basis. Furthermore, it had ingested Dragon Blood Golden Pills, intended for the cultivation of the Sky Wing Three Saints, every single day. A considerable amount of True Dragon Essence Blood was also part of its daily regimen, supplemented by the flesh of advanced demon beasts hunted by the Xiansheng Water Mansion’s Water Clan. Given such an extraordinary diet and cultivation environment, stagnation was simply not an option. In the span of five years, the kitten had leaped forward by nearly seven cultivation stages, a progression only slightly less astounding than that achieved by the Great Sage of the Overturning Sea. Its cultivation had now reached the early stage of the Fifth Stage of the Dark Palace Realm, marginally surpassing the Great Sage of the Overturning Sea. The reason for the kitten’s expedited cultivation reaching beyond the Great Sage of the Overturning Sea stemmed from their starting points five years prior. At the commencement of this rigorous training period, the Great Sage of the Overturning Sea resided in the mid-stage of the Sixth Stage of the Divine Communication Realm, whereas the kitten was already in the late stage of the Eighth Stage of the same realm. Despite this massive leap in power, the kitten’s physical size had remained relatively unchanged. Perhaps this is an inherent characteristic, as the lineage of the Void-Breaking Black Tiger King is not known for possessing an exceptionally large physical stature. "Come here, kitten, let me see what new abilities you've gained after your breakthrough!" Ye Zhen exclaimed with a warm smile. Roar!{p} With a mighty roar like a tiger, the kitten’s form blurred, its previously five hundred meter long body instantaneously shrinking to five meters in length and two meters in height. It deftly maneuvered beneath Ye Zhen’s legs, swiftly spiriting him away.{p}{p} Before they had traveled more than a kilometer, the long fur upon the kitten’s back coalesced into a protective dome, enveloping Ye Zhen within its shelter.{p}{p} Suddenly, Ye Zhen found himself immersed in a dimly lit passage, adorned with countless shimmering points of light.{p} "Is this the spatial layer?" Ye Zhen mused aloud, even as the kitten had already guided him through another point of light.{p} Casting a glance backward, the small island they had departed from had dwindled to a minuscule speck, receding rapidly into the distance.{p} Subsequently, the kitten repeatedly executed its Void-Breaking ability, enabling Ye Zhen to progressively comprehend its newly awakened innate divine ability – Void-Breaking.{p} At present, the maximum range for a single Void-Breaking jump by the kitten was approximately five thousand miles. This was merely about half the distance that Elder Brother Jinghai Great Saint could achieve with his Water and Sky Connect ability.{p} Nevertheless, the kitten’s primary advantage resided in its significantly lower energy consumption and superior endurance.{p} Considering Jinghai Great Saint’s current cultivation, his Water and Sky Connect ability could be utilized at most three times.{p} However, the kitten’s Void-Breaking ability demanded far less Qi. Under dire circumstances, with its current cultivation, it could perform up to twenty extreme Void-Breaks.{p} The most striking distinction was that the kitten’s Void-Breaking divine ability possessed no environmental limitations; it could be executed across all terrains and conditions.{p} In contrast, Jinghai Great Saint’s Water and Sky Connect was strictly confined to aquatic environments.{p} Beyond its Void-Breaking prowess, the kitten’s enhancements in flight also filled Ye Zhen with immense delight.{p} Following its bloodline breakthrough, the sound produced by the kitten’s movement through the air during flight became so imperceptible that it couldn't be detected from ten meters away.{p} The most extraordinary aspect was the kitten’s elevated flight speed.{p} Previously, the kitten’s standard flight velocity exceeded thirty thousand miles per hour, enabling it to cover roughly forty thousand miles in twelve hours. This speed was comparable to that of martial artists in the early to middle stages of the Realm King Realm.{p} But now, its flight speed had soared to an astonishing fifty thousand miles per hour!{p} Under most conditions, even martial artists who had reached the peak of the Ninth Stage of the Realm King Realm and specialized in speed found it difficult to sustain a flight velocity surpassing forty thousand miles per hour.{p} Moreover, fifty thousand miles per hour represented merely the average cruising speed of the Cloud Winged Tiger King Kitten.{p} A peak martial artist at the Ninth Stage of Realm King Realm could commendable maintain a speed of forty thousand miles for two consecutive days.{p} However, the kitten was a different entity altogether; flight was practically instinctual for it. As long as a direction was chosen, it could continue its journey for an entire month, even while resting, without encountering any difficulties.{p} Furthermore, the kitten’s capacity for explosive bursts of speed during critical moments had seen a remarkable surge.{p} In emergency situations, the kitten could augment its speed to one hundred thousand, two hundred thousand, or even four hundred thousand miles per hour, sustaining these velocities for ten days, three days, or one day, respectively!{p} With the aid of spiritual treasures capable of replenishing ample spiritual power and primordial energy, it could prolong these incredible speeds even further.{p} In this regard, the kitten’s speed was approximately twenty percent faster than Jinghai Great Saint’s, coupled with superior endurance!{p} Owing to the kitten’s dramatic increase in speed, the journey back to North Sea County, initially estimated to take eight days, now appeared to be completable in less than two days, with land readily coming into view.{p} This calculation, of course, factored in the moments the kitten periodically maintained speeds around one hundred thousand miles, with the majority of the travel occurring at a fifty thousand miles per hour pace.{p} Casually speaking, this development saved Ye Zhen a considerable amount of time.{p} "Speaking of which, I wonder about the progress of the Nine-Headed Beast currently undergoing cultivation within the Mirage Dragon Pearl!"{p} Initially, Ye Zhen had placed both the kitten and the Nine-Headed Beast inside the Mirage Dragon Pearl for concurrent cultivation.{p} Witnessing the profound transformation the kitten had undergone now ignited Ye Zhen’s eagerness to observe the changes in the Nine-Headed Beast as well!{p} His divine sense extended, probing into the depths of the Mirage Dragon Pearl.{p} Just as Ye Zhen was preparing to attempt awakening the Nine-Headed Beast, the Cloud Winged Tiger King beneath him suddenly unleashed a heart-wrenching tiger roar.{p} Bang!{p} The instant the tiger’s roar echoed, a colossal windstorm surged towards Ye Zhen and the kitten before they could even react!{p} At the vortex of this storm, numerous wind blades, resembling rapidly spinning circular saws, churned with ferocious velocity!{p}
