91: Chapter 91 Totem-Level Beast Taming!
Starry Sky Plank Road.
Twenty colossal steel warships, their hulls gleaming with a cold, hard metallic sheen, were arrayed in formation at the rift in the starry sky. Their dense clusters of cannon ports, like the pupils of giant beasts, were all aimed at the Tianxuan Continent below!
Each vessel was several times more massive than the largest mountain range in Tianxuan!
Their enormous shadows enveloped the cities, oceans, and plains below, completely blocking out the sunlight and plunging the world into a dead, gloomy silence in an instant!
Those stubborn Starry Sky Demonic Beasts that were still clinging to the edges of the spatial rift, having already considered the Tianxuan Continent their prize, vanished without a trace the moment they saw this terrifying fleet suddenly appear over Tianxuan. They fled, terrified of being wiped out alongside the local Tianxuan beasts when this fearsome force inevitably turned its attention to exterminating them...
In the center of the plank road, the robes of the many Ninth-Turn Experts flapped violently in the air currents as they stood frozen in place, the composure and dignity on their faces instantly shattering!
The spiritual energy that had just gathered at Xiao Yuhe's fingertips abruptly dispersed, utterly unable to coalesce...
Simultaneously, the outlines of the steel leviathans grew clearer in the sky. The runes inscribed on their hulls were like nothing he had ever seen in his life, yet he could still sense the terrifying spiritual power they contained!
This was a bizarre 'steel behemoth' the likes of which none of these experts had ever witnessed—an absolute, civilizational-level suppression!
Meng Feier's face was also a mask of shock. He had imagined the enemy's arrival countless times in his mind. He had believed that with so many Ninth-Turn Experts in Tianxuan, they could at least hold out for a moment. But now, the cultivation he took such pride in seemed so utterly pale and insignificant...
What shook him to his core even more was the faintly discernible figure at the heart of the fleet.
That figure did not deliberately release any aura, yet it hung there like an ancient deity suspended in the starry sea. An intangible pressure pierced through the fleet's metal barriers and pressed directly down upon the Starry Sky Plank Road.
Everyone on the Starry Sky Plank Road fell silent, their hearts gripped as if by an invisible hand.
They could sense that the other party's power did not stem from accumulated cultivation, but was an innate 'authority' that transcended all things—like a law of the cosmos itself, unopposable and unshakable.
Divine Realm!
Faced with such a terrifying existence, they, the so-called 'top experts,' were fundamentally no different from the panicked mortals of Tianxuan. They were merely slightly stronger ants...
Tianxuan Continent.
Many had noticed the changes in the sky when the spatial rift expanded and the demonic beasts invaded, but the effects hadn't reached the ground then, so no one knew exactly what was happening above...
Therefore, when that voice earlier reached the ears of those on the ground, while fear arose from the depths of their hearts, confusion was the predominant feeling...
Until images captured by various high-precision cameras began appearing on online forums...
The moment those hulls, larger than clusters of skyscrapers and hanging in the sky, appeared on electronic screens—the moment people saw the cold light reflected from their metal surfaces—did those on the ground finally realize the severity of the situation...
Tianxuan would no longer face invasions by demonic beasts, but...
Something more terrifying than demonic beasts had invaded Tianxuan...
Then came the appearance of that voice. It wasn't particularly loud, yet it penetrated the minds of everyone in Tianxuan, instantly shrouding the entire continent in gloom!
Even Ninth-Turn Experts found it difficult to breathe under this terrifying pressure!
The shadows continued to sink lower, as if the entire sky were about to collapse.
Chaos had long since erupted in every nation...
On the streets, crowds surged like headless flies. People tripped and fell, only to be trampled by thesurging crowds. Groans were drowned out by the chaotic stampede of footsteps...
In high-rises, countless people pressed against windows, faces against cold glass, staring at the terrifying giantships in the sky. Some clasped their hands, murmuring prayers, trying to beg for divine protection. Others, unable to bear this absolute suppression from a higher civilization, crouched in corners, heads in hands, emitting pained whimpers...
The pressure emanating from the sky weighed heavily on everyone's shoulders, not only straining their bodies unbearably but making their very souls tremble.
Ordinary people felt dizzy, their chests tight as if about to explode, their limbs weak, making even standing an arduous task...
The pressure Professionals had to endure increased exponentially with their cultivation level. Those at the Sixth and Seventh Turns suffered the most. They didn't experience the slight pressure ordinary people did, nor did they possess the means of Eighth and Ninth-Turn Experts to mitigate it...
They could only form weak protective barriers by constantly consuming their spiritual energy...
Yet such measures seemed utterly illusory under the pressure of the Divine Realm...
It wasn't just the humans of Tianxuan; even the demonic beasts deep within the Desolate Realm were currently enduring this terrifying pressure!
...
"ROAR!"
Immediately after, a roar erupted from the flagship, an heavenly sound imbued with totemic will that shattered the clouds into streams of radiant mist!
Amidst theDistorted light and shadow, a giant tiger large enough to blot out half the sky stepped forth from the rift, crushing golden radiance beneath its paws.
Its body was covered in golden scales forged as if fromGlass. Its tiger eyes were like two suspended scorching suns; a mere sweep of its gaze could even stall the chaotic stellar currents!
Though it trod upon the void, it was as if stepping on solid ground. With each step, a golden tiger-shaped imprint branded itself upon the firmament. Every demonic beast on the Tianxuan Continent could feel a primal fear rising from their very bloodlines...
The moment the Tiger Emperor manifested, even the previously overbearing Tianji Fleet seemed to become an insignificant backdrop!
Totem Grade!
Xiao Yuhe's emotions at this moment were indescribably complex.
He didn't know whether he should be happy about guessing correctly...
How laughable...
Faced with a Totem-grade Spirit Beast, he, who had reached the peak of the Ninth Revolution, couldn't even successfully condense a wisp of spiritual energy...
Under this totemic pressure, their Power of Laws seemed not to exist at all...
[Sacred Gold Heavenly Tiger]

[Grade: First Tribulation · Totem Grade]
[Combat Power: 6.84 million.]

"Those who do not wish to die may now kneel devoutly and chant my name."
Luo Shu leisurely seated himself upon the Heavenly Tiger's back, a mocking smile playing on his lips:
"Ah, right. I am the Star Pivot God, Luo Shu."
