Chaos Heaven-Dominating Technique

Changmao and the Nine-tailed White Fox immediately began recounting their history like a pair of squabbling rivals. Watching them, Shen Haoran could tell their relationship was anything but ordinary. By the end, they had practically started throttling each other, even bringing up embarrassing bathroom stories. Shen Haoran could only roll his eyes at the spectacle.

Finally, Shen Haoran managed to pick out some useful information from their jumbled chatter. It turned out that in the Ancient Era, the Nine-tailed White Fox’s power had reached a level comparable to the Four Great Divine Beasts. The Fox Race had enjoyed a period of great prosperity, but the clans of the Four Great Divine Beasts, wanting to maintain their dominance over the Demon Race, refused to accept the Fox Race led by the Nine-tailed White Fox. They even ostracized them.

But the Nine-tailed White Fox was proud by nature. Since the Divine Beast Clans wouldn’t have her, she went straight to the Fierce Beast Clans. As the "big brother" of the Fierce Beast Clans, the Taotie—Changmao—greatly admired the Nine-tailed White Fox’s character. The two of them hit it off immediately. With Taotie Changmao’s help, the Fox Race she led quickly became one of the most powerful clans in the Demon Race. Taotie Changmao and the Nine-tailed White Fox became sworn siblings, and their bond was as strong as iron.

"From what you’ve said, the Demon Race should have been incredibly powerful. How did you end up like this?" Shen Haoran asked, his face full of confusion as he looked at the two incomplete Beast Souls before him.

Hearing Shen Haoran’s question, both of their expressions changed. They fell silent, saying no more.

"This kid is the inheritor of the Chaos Divine Body!" Changmao said to the Nine-tailed White Fox after a long silence, not answering Shen Haoran’s question.

"Oh, that fellow’s successor? But at his current level of strength, he’s still a long way off," the Nine-tailed White Fox said, her eyes lighting up for a moment before she shook her head.

Seeing the two of them talking amongst themselves, Shen Haoran couldn’t help but roll his eyes again. ’These two are freezing me out again.’ But the more they refused to talk, the more curious he became. What on earth happened back then to reduce the once-mighty Demon Race to its current state?

’So it’s still because my strength is lacking?’ Shen Haoran pursed his lips. Changmao and Elder Yan always used his weakness as an excuse. ’It seems I really need to hurry up and get stronger.’

"Alright, alright, I won’t ask anymore! How long will it take for Lady Ya?" Knowing he wouldn’t get any answers by pressing further, Shen Haoran changed the subject to Lady Ya.

"Her strength is a bit low, so the bloodline awakening may take a little longer," the Nine-tailed White Fox said nonchalantly, glancing at the white cocoon of light.

Hearing this, Shen Haoran nodded and immediately sat down cross-legged to begin his cultivation. It looked like Changmao and the Nine-tailed White Fox still had much to discuss, and Shen Haoran didn’t want to interrupt them.

Meanwhile, as Shen Haoran waited for Lady Ya to complete her bloodline awakening, the Fox Race had already delivered invitations to their various guests, most notably the Snow Wolf Race and the Vajra Ape Race.

「Several hundred miles from White Fox City, in a certain snowy mountain range.」

The Clan Leader of the Snow Wolf Race, Lang Shuntian, sat in the seat of honor. He toyed with the invitation from the Fox Race, a playful smirk on his face as he looked down at the disheveled middle-aged man below.

"Bai Hong, are you saying your Bai Family is setting up a deadly trap?" Lang Shuntian asked coolly, looking at the grim-faced Bai Hong.

"Hmph, it’s not *our* Bai Family anymore. But I’m warning you, the Bai Family has five Spirit Emperor Powerhouses now. It is absolutely a deadly trap!" Bai Hong said coldly. After being driven out by Shen Haoran, he had come to the Snow Wolf Race to sell them out in order to get his revenge on both Shen Haoran and the Bai Family. Not only that, but at this very moment, Bai Shuo was with the Vajra Ape Race, having the exact same conversation.

"Oh? Five Spirit Emperor Powerhouses? It seems that kid who kicked you out is quite something," Lang Shuntian said mockingly, looking at Bai Hong’s sullen face.

"Hmph! Lang Shuntian, don’t you gloat. That kid is indeed formidable. But I’ve already given you the Bai Family’s defensive layouts and weaknesses. Don’t forget your promise to me!" Bai Hong snorted.

"Relax. It’s just five Spirit Emperor Powerhouses. It’s not like my Wolf Race doesn’t have any. Add the Vajra Ape Race to the mix, and the Fox Race is doomed this time. As for my promise, rest assured. Once I take down the Bai Family of the Fox Race, you will be the Patriarch!" Lang Shuntian laughed, a vicious glint flashing in his eyes.

"See that you do." Bai Hong nodded in satisfaction, then stood up and slowly walked out.

’Is this the Bai Family’s deadly trap? Or is it my Snow Wolf Race’s feast to divide the spoils? It’s still too early to say,’ Lang Shuntian thought, watching Bai Hong’s departing figure. He stuck out his scarlet tongue and licked his lips, a cryptic smile playing on his face.

...

「Three days passed in the blink of an eye.」

Today, White Fox City was festooned with lanterns and colorful decorations. The Bai Family estate in the center of the city was especially grand. A long red carpet covered the paths, and tables were set for a banquet, the air thick with the aroma of exquisite dishes.

But in stark contrast to the lively atmosphere in the city, the Bai Family’s Elders and upper echelon were gathered in a meeting room, every one of them frowning with grim expressions.

"Where are Lady Ya and Shen Haoran? Why have they both disappeared?" the Bai Family’s Grand Elder asked in a low voice. The grand banquet was about to begin, yet the two most important people had vanished into thin air. How could they not be anxious?

"Don’t tell me they got scared of the Snow Wolf Race and the Vajra Ape Race and ran for it?" another Elder frowned and suggested.

"No. If Shen Haoran and Lady Ya had fled, then Elder Lu and his men wouldn’t still be here," the Grand Elder said, shaking his head. He then turned his gaze to Elder Lu and the other four on the side.

"Rest assured. Young Friend Shen will definitely appear at the critical moment. Just focus on doing your part," Elder Lu said calmly, looking at the group of tense Bai Family members.

Hearing this, the Bai Family Elders could only nod. With Elder Lu and the other four Spirit Emperor Powerhouses holding down the fort, the Snow Wolf Race and the Vajra Ape Race were not to be feared.

"Elders, Lang Shuntian, the Clan Leader of the Snow Wolf Race, and Jin Chengdao, the Clan Leader of the Vajra Ape Race, have arrived! They are demanding to see Lady Ya!" a member of the Bai Family Army reported as they were speaking.

Hearing the soldier’s report, the Elders’ expressions all changed. They nodded. With Lady Ya and Shen Haoran missing, they had to stall for time.

"Well, well, if it isn’t the Grand Elder of the Fox Race? I hear you’ve changed Patriarchs again. A little girl, is it? Why don’t you bring her out for us to see?" Lang Shuntian strode forward as soon as the Fox Race’s Grand Elder and the others appeared. He spoke with a broad smile, but the undisguised sarcasm in his tone instantly made the atmosphere in the courtyard heavy.

"Is the Clan Leader of my Fox Race someone you can see just because you ask?" But at that very moment, a calm voice spoke up, shattering the tense atmosphere in the courtyard...
