255: Monster? Coolie!

Chen Tianming led the way, while Ding Xiaoyu and Wan Yue stared in surprise at their surroundings.

A group of demonic beasts lay prostrate on either side of Chen Tianming.

If any of them showed even a slight sign of unrest, they would immediately be reprimanded by higher-ranking demonic beasts.

Ding Xiaoyu looked on, unable to help but exclaim.

"Husband... husband! Why are there so many demonic beasts here?"

Wan Yue's beautiful eyes also shifted, observing carefully.

"Looking at it this way, it seems all the demonic beasts are subservient to you!"

Chen Tianming merely smiled without answering.

Continuing forward, a dazzling light appeared before everyone's eyes.

Ding Xiaoyu and Wan Yue were so blinded they couldn't open their eyes.

After finally adjusting, they saw a gigantic figure standing within the light.

This terrified the two women; their faces paled, and they both retreated two steps.

But when Chen Tianming beckoned slightly, that enormous figure actually walked over slowly.

The majestic Frostfang Saber-toothed Tiger's eyes looked down upon the world, but before Chen Tianming, its massive body obediently squatted down and suddenly opened its huge maw.

The two women jumped in fright.

But the White Tiger merely opened its mouth to yawn, looking very relaxed.

Its long, icy saber teeth even caught on its lips.

Chen Tianming pinched its large face, pulling with force to extract the meat from its teeth.

Seeing Chen Tianming so intimate with this monster, Wan Yue was nearly dumbfounded.

"This... this demonic beast with the White Tiger bloodline, it's at least in the Transforming God Realm, right!"

It was quite normal for Wan Yue to discern the White Tiger's strength.

The Transforming God Realm is connected to the Five Elements, which is a very obvious sign.

Metal, Wood, Water, Fire, and Earth are the fundamental Five Elements.

Beyond that, there are even more complex attributes like Wind, Fire, Mountain, Forest, Ice, Thunder, and Illusion.

Chen Tianming's White Tiger was of the Ice attribute, originating from the Water Element, and combined with Wind, its complexity was unimaginable.

However, for demonic beasts, attributes are not important; strength is everything. As long as Chen Tianming fed it crunchy spirit stones, everything would be fine.

Chen Tianming was also generous.

"You have good taste! You can pet it; it's my pet now, very well-behaved!"

Wan Yue, however, had a short memory.

When Chen Tianming spoke, she believed him and reached out to touch the White Tiger.

Unexpectedly, the White Tiger suddenly turned fierce and tried to bite Wan Yue.

Fortunately, Wan Yue reacted quickly and avoided losing a hand.

Chen Tianming burst into laughter.

Just then, Ding Xiaoyu cried out, somewhat excitedly.

"There seems to be very rich spiritual energy ahead!"

Only then did Wan Yue ask.

"What exactly is this place! Why did you bring us here?"

Chen Tianming pointed to the white light ahead.

"This leads to the Xuanhuan World!"

Upon hearing this, Ding Xiaoyu and Wan Yue's expressions changed dramatically.

It was Wan Yue who couldn't help but speak.

"Xuanhuan World? A Xuanhuan World with countless cultivators and sects blooming everywhere? With our strength, wouldn't we just be crushed like ants?"

Chen Tianming listened and immediately chuckled softly.

"You're overthinking it. This is just a Small World separated from the Xuanhuan World. It's just a tiny piece of heaven and earth, but it possesses the Source World's original spiritual power!"

The two women exchanged glances.

One must know that original spiritual power is the strongest spiritual power most suitable for cultivators.

Thinking of this, their worries about the uncertain road ahead completely vanished.

Only excitement and anticipation remained.

And it seemed there was even a hint of greed.

Chen Tianming clapped his hands.

"Alright! You two don't need to be too nervous! To be honest, I tracked Lei Li here, originally intending to completely refine this Small World and claim all its original power for myself!"

As Chen Tianming spoke, he clenched his fist tightly.

But then he released his fist and said to the two women.

"However, after entering this Small World, I discovered that it's just like our world, with both reality and illusion... For the people of the Xuanhuan World, especially this Small World, outsiders like us are like celestial beings from beyond the heavens!"

"But for us, cultivators in the Small World who possess powerful original spiritual power, *they* are the celestial beings from beyond the heavens!"

Having said this, Chen Tianming continued walking into the white light.

There were many things he could only say to himself in his heart.

"So I also changed my mind. Humans are humans after all, and although I am a villain, I must never act entirely according to the system's will!"

"Since I can't quantitatively absorb this world, why not change the method and let the two worlds get what they need!"

Chen Tianming stepped out without hesitation, the White Palace tilted, and a dark, oppressive sandstorm appeared in the sky.

Ding Xiaoyu and Wan Yue also appeared in the sandstorm at the same time.

The white light quickly disappeared.

Chen Tianming, meanwhile, lightly formed a sword art in his hand, and the Xuanyuan Sword immediately flew from his grasp, transforming into a golden ancient umbrella.

Each umbrella segment was composed of a clone of the Xuanyuan Sword.

With the umbrella blocking the sandstorm ahead, Ding Xiaoyu and Wan Yue finally felt more comfortable.

But upon seeing Chen Tianming control the Xuanyuan Sword, Wan Yue's expression immediately turned pale.

"What exactly is this place! Why do you suddenly have a peerless immortal artifact in your hand?"

Chen Tianming lowered his head, glanced at his Xuanyuan Sword, and stifled a laugh.

"Peerless? If you think it's peerless, then it is!"

He gently pushed his hand forward, and spiritual power propelled the Xuanyuan Sword, moving it forward little by little.

The black mist before them was as if Pangu was creating the heavens and earth.

The endless darkness and chaos were all dispelled by the golden light of the Xuanyuan Sword.

The two women stared at the boundless wilderness, speechless for a moment.

"This... what exactly happened? Isn't this supposed to be a Xuanhuan World rich in spiritual energy? How did it become so... desolate?"

Chen Tianming began to explain.

"This isn't the most spiritually abundant place yet; it's equivalent to the outskirts, the wilderness. However, this is just a corner of the Xuanhuan World, not a complete Source World. Our current location should be the very edge of this world, where the spiritual energy has been completely depleted, hence its desolation!"

Wan Yue immediately understood Chen Tianming's thoughts.

"So... we didn't come here to directly take over this Small World?"

Chen Tianming nodded.

"Han Lei is already dead, and Lei Li will die sooner or later. But what do the people of this Small World have to do with me? Why should I exterminate everyone!"

Then Chen Tianming smiled and said.

"Actually, I called you here because I wanted you to guard near this rift. After all, your spiritual power is relatively strong!"

Ding Xiaoyu naturally agreed immediately.

"Don't worry! I absolutely won't let the people of the Small World leave freely!"

But Wan Yue didn't think so.

"We stay and guard? Where are you going? How many days will you be gone? We can't just go without eating, drinking, or sleeping!"

What Wan Yue thought of, Chen Tianming had already considered.

He lightly clapped his hands, and from within the rift, numerous demonic beasts, either holding or carrying in their mouths, moved all necessities for food, clothing, housing, and travel inside!
