268: Chapter 268 Battle against the White Tiger at the Origin King Realm!

Ning Rongrong gently spread out her Divine Sense, carefully scouting the surroundings. As time ticked by, she still found no trace of those terrifying Void Creatures, and only then did she exhale a long sigh of relief.

“Brother Cao, the Divine Ability you just performed was simply too amazing!” Ning Rongrong turned her head, her beautiful eyes sparkling with admiration and curiosity as she looked at Cao Yang beside her.

Cao Yang’s lips curled up slightly, revealing a confident smile: “Hehe, the Divine Ability I used just now is called ‘Gods Descent’. It has quite a few miraculous properties; not only can it let me instantly arrive at any place within the coverage of my Divine Sense, but there's also a chance to randomly appear at a location outside that range. So, whether it's for travel or escaping in an emergency, it's an extremely practical Divine Ability.”

After hearing Cao Yang's detailed introduction, the envy in Ning Rongrong’s eyes grew even more intense.

After all, in such a perilous and unpredictable environment, possessing such a powerful life-saving means was undoubtedly something everyone dreamed of.

Especially being outside the Small Universe, which was filled with unknown dangers, having an extra layer of protection meant an extra chance at survival.

Cao Yang took in Ning Rongrong’s undisguised envy, and his heart couldn't help but stir.

He smiled softly, reached out his right hand to gently take Ning Rongrong’s fair and delicate small hand, and said softly: “If Rongrong likes this Divine Ability, I will certainly teach it to you without reservation once we return to a safe place.”

Suddenly being held by Cao Yang, Ning Rongrong was stunned for a moment, and then an alluring pink blush quickly rose on her pretty face.

She lowered her head shyly and said in a voice as soft as a mosquito's buzz: “Then... then thank you in advance, Brother Cao!”

Seeing that she didn't pull her hand away, Cao Yang was overjoyed and immediately held her soft hand tightly. Just like that, the two of them held hands and began their search journey together in this vast and mysterious Void Realm.

They tirelessly explored many regions, during which they discovered several rare herbs with grades exceeding top-tier Saint-Grade medicines.

Regrettably, however, none of these precious Materials possessed the effect of healing the Divine Soul or repairing the true spirit.

Despite this, the two were not discouraged and continued to forge ahead with determination.

During this long and hazardous journey, they encountered all sorts of Void Creatures.

For those Void Creatures whose strength was below the Source King Realm, the two acted decisively, slaying them with thunderous force; however, once they encountered powerful existences above the Source King Realm, they would use all their skills and cleverly employ various miraculous Divine Abilities to quickly escape.

One must know that the Void Realm outside the Small Universe was truly too vast, and simultaneously full of danger.

Here, not only were Void Creatures seen everywhere—where a single misstep could lead to eternal damnation—but even rare herbs above top-tier Saint-Grade were as scarce as phoenix feathers and unicorn horns.

However, hard work paid off. Although they failed to find the healing herbs they dreamed of, the two unexpectedly harvested a large amount of never-before-seen Artifact Refining Materials.

Among them were several pieces of Artifact Refining Materials that, after Cao Yang's careful appraisal, were confirmed to have a Rank surpassing Saint-Grade! In particular, a long staff shaped like a club deeply won Cao Yang's favor, making him unable to put it down.

Besides these priceless Artifact Refining Materials, the two also harvested quite a few source crystals.

Even though they ultimately failed to find the specific herbs they urgently needed, Ning Rongrong was still full of joy because the experience of exploring together was a precious treasure in itself.

On this day, sunlight softly fell upon a massive and mysterious meteorite, as if draping this celestial object in a layer of golden gauze.

Cao Yang and Ning Rongrong were sitting side by side on the meteorite taking a short break, enjoying a moment of peace.

However, at this moment, Cao Yang, who had a calm expression, suddenly furrowed his brow as if he had sensed something unusual.

Seeing this, Ning Rongrong couldn't help but feel a surge of unease and quickly asked: “Brother Cao, what's wrong? Did something happen?” Concern and worry showed in her beautiful eyes.

Cao Yang took a deep breath and said slowly: “Rongrong, that Early Stage Source King Realm Void White Tiger is chasing us in this direction again. Once the fight starts later, you must stay far away and absolutely do not get caught in the aftermath and get hurt.” His voice was low and firm, revealing a sense of resolve.

As soon as he finished speaking, Cao Yang waved his right hand, and a seemingly unremarkable club appeared in his hand.

The club was earthy gray all over and its appearance was not outstanding, but Cao Yang loved it dearly, treating it like a rare treasure.

Looking at the club in Cao Yang's hand, Ning Rongrong looked worried and advised softly: “Brother Cao, how about we just hurry and escape? Given our speed, that Void Creature might not be able to catch up anyway!”

Although she knew Cao Yang's strength was extraordinary, facing such a vast disparity in Realm, her heart was inevitably filled with anxiety.

However, Cao Yang only smiled slightly, a flash of confidence in his eyes, and comforted her: “Don't worry, Rongrong. I am confident I can handle this crisis. A mere Early Stage Source King Realm Void Creature cannot do anything to me.”

With that, he said no more, gripped the club in his hand, and his figure flashed like a bolt of lightning, charging towards the menacing Void White Tiger pouncing from not far away.

Once before, this massive Void White Tiger, exuding a terrifying Aura, had chased them like a bolt of white lightning, pursuing them relentlessly.

Because he didn't have a handy Sharp Weapon to contend with it at the time, to prevent any accidents, Cao Yang had decided after careful consideration to temporarily shake off the Void White Tiger.

One must know that these creatures from the Void Realm not only had extremely powerful Physical Bodies that were difficult to defeat, but more importantly, in this vast Void Realm, this was their home field. Their familiarity with the environment and the advantages they held far exceeded those of human Cultivators.

However, today was different from the past. Now that Cao Yang had obtained a divine Sharp Weapon of astonishing power, he naturally no longer feared this ferocious Void White Tiger.

Cao Yang took a deep breath, continuously pouring his Source Power into the club gripped in his hand. Instantly, the originally ordinary club burst with dazzling light, as if containing endless power.

Then, with a fierce swing of his arm, he threw the club towards the Void White Tiger with the momentum of a thunderbolt, like a falling star.

At the same time, he did not hesitate to unleash the Great Dao of Time Law he had deeply comprehended, attempting to slow down the white tiger's movement speed to increase the chance of the attack hitting.

To Cao Yang's great surprise, although he had gone all out, the Void White Tiger actually dodged his full-strength strike with an exceptionally agile side-step.

Even more terrifyingly, the white tiger did not stop after dodging but immediately launched a counterattack. Strange light flickered around its body; it had clearly utilized two mysterious and powerful Dao powers: the Advanced Great Dao of Space and the Great Dao of Void.

Facing such a strong enemy, Cao Yang did not dare to be negligent. He quickly reached out to catch the club as it traveled back through the void, secretly marveling: “As expected of a Void Creature, it indeed has some real skill!”

Only now did he suddenly realize why this white tiger could catch up to them twice in a row; it was because it controlled such profound abilities as the Great Dao of Space and the Great Dao of Void.

“Human, I will make you pay in blood and give your life for my child!” That roar exploded like thunder, and while the echoes were still vibrating, a white light flashed, and the majestic Void White Tiger reappeared just inches away from Cao Yang.

In that critical moment, a sharp light flashed in Cao Yang's eyes as he unhesitatingly performed his supreme Divine Ability—Gods Descent.

In an instant, his entire being became like a ghost, vanishing into thin air from where he stood, and appearing behind the Void White Tiger the next moment.

Immediately after, he fiercely raised his palm, and the ‘Palm Chaos Profound Realm’—a palm strike containing infinite power—slammed heavily onto the white tiger's broad and thick back.

The white tiger's heart jolted as a strong sense of crisis surged within it. It instinctively sensed the approaching danger and hurriedly dodged to the side, attempting to merge into the surrounding void to evade this fatal blow.

However, despite its quick reactions, it still failed to completely avoid Cao Yang's attack.

With a dull, massive boom, the white tiger let out a miserable scream as half of its body was brutally shattered by Cao Yang's palm.

The heavily injured Void White Tiger's body swayed, falling straight down from the void not far from Ning Rongrong.

But enduring the intense pain, it couldn't care less how serious its injuries were. Its blood-red eyes stared fixedly at Ning Rongrong, who was right before it. It opened its massive maw, baring its fangs, and extended its sharp claws, lunging towards Ning Rongrong.

At this moment, the white tiger knew very well that it was no match for Cao Yang, especially now that it was gravely wounded.

Escaping was almost impossible, so it harbored a malicious intent, attempting to seize the relatively weaker Ning Rongrong as a hostage to force Cao Yang to give it a way out.

“Seeking death!” Seeing that the white tiger dared to attack Ning Rongrong, Cao Yang roared, his eyes cold with killing intent.

He performed the Gods Descent Divine Ability once more, and his figure instantly vanished again.

In the blink of an eye, he appeared behind Ning Rongrong like a god descending from the heavens.

At the same time, a long, earthy-gray staff exuding a terrifying Aura appeared in his hand at some unknown point, and he thrust it fiercely towards the Void White Tiger without hesitation.

With a squelch, the staff was like a bolt of lightning cutting through the night sky, easily piercing through the Void White Tiger's skull.

The white tiger didn't even have time to whimper before its massive body fell straight onto the void meteorite below, kicking up a cloud of dust.

Looking at the Void White Tiger's corpse lying motionless on the meteorite, Ning Rongrong couldn't help but turn pale with fright, her body drenched in cold sweat.

The scene just now had happened too fast, so fast that she hadn't even had time to turn around to respond before she was in a life-threatening situation.

At this moment, she deeply realized just how unfathomable the strength of the Source King Realm truly was, and a wave of lingering fear welled up in her heart.
