The Most Powerful Bodyguard

Chapter 1392: Chapter 1392: Please Don’t Look Down on Me

The Void-Devouring Tiger shrunk its neck and timidly said, "Now that you are already at the Half-Step Void Realm, pills below Celestial-level are as useless to you as the back of a chicken’s neck. Why waste them?"

"If I can’t use them, what about others? People shouldn’t be too greedy. You still have at least two-tenths of the pill’s efficacy inside you!" Yang Yan said irritably.

"But..."

The Void-Devouring Tiger originally wanted to say something more, but Yang Yan interrupted it directly.

"No buts! When it’s time to give you something, you will naturally get it. You, originally I was thinking if you worked hard to break through to the peak of Divinity Transformation, I would give you a Nine Tribulations Divine Pill to see if you could break through to the Void Realm. Now it seems I have to reconsider."

The Void-Devouring Tiger was dumbfounded the moment it heard this.

After a good ten seconds of silence, it suddenly cheered, "You’re really giving me the Nine Tribulations Divine Pill! Great, great. With my talent, I wouldn’t even need to wait for the peak of Divinity Transformation. As long as I am solid enough at the middle stage of Divinity Transformation, I can definitely make a perfect breakthrough directly to the Void Realm!"

"So..." Yang Yan chuckled softly.

The Void-Devouring Tiger quickly picked up the conversation, saying earnestly, "So in the coming time, I will certainly work hard to hone myself and strive to enter the middle stage of Divinity Transformation as soon as possible."

Only then did Yang Yan nod in satisfaction, "Then it’s settled. If you plot for my pills again, I’ll give the Nine Tribulations Divine Pill to someone more suitable."

The Void-Devouring Tiger made all kinds of assurances, declaring that it would not betray Yang Yan’s good intentions and would make every effort to break through quickly.

When Yang Yan asked about what special circumstances had occurred on Wandering Dragon Star during the time of his absence, the expression of the Void-Devouring Tiger immediately turned grave.

"If you hadn’t asked, I would’ve almost forgotten to tell you. During the year you were gone, a major event happened; an anomaly appeared in the Land of Ten Thousand Tombs."

Yang Yan frowned and asked, "Explain, what’s going on exactly?"

With a heavy expression, the Void-Devouring Tiger said, "Ever since you’ve gone missing and didn’t return for a long time, we guessed that you might have encountered some kind of danger."

"The Ten Swords and the entire Ancient Abyss Sect insisted on going to the Land of Ten Thousand Tombs to look for your trace. Especially Guoguo, there was no stopping him. Later, it was Sect Leader Lin An who intervened, preventing Guoguo from heading there."

"So, Wuyi and two other most powerful seniors represented everyone and went to the Land of Ten Thousand Tombs to search for your trace."

"Half a year later, the heavily injured Three-legged Crow suddenly returned to the Ancient Abyss Sect. It informed us that an anomaly had appeared in the Land of Ten Thousand Tombs."

At this point, the Void-Devouring Tiger showed a look of fear on its face and paused before continuing, "A gap unexpectedly appeared in the seal of the Land of Ten Thousand Tombs, through which mysterious and powerful cultivators constantly entered."

"We secretly observed and found that for some unknown reason, their physical bodies are extremely formidable. Even though I am a Divine Beast, at the same realm, I was only evenly matched with them."

"I am unsure about the subsequent events. After some battles with them, I found an opportunity for a breakthrough. Under the escort of the senior Three-legged Crow, I returned to the Ancient Abyss Sect."

"It was by leveraging this battle’s opportunity that upon returning to the Ancient Abyss Sect, I immediately went into seclusion for a month, finally breaking through to the Nascent Soul. Then I drifted in the void for a year, and upon emerging, I had already reached the mid-stage of Nascent Soul. As for the later events, you already know."

As it spoke, a look of helplessness appeared on the Void-Devouring Tiger’s face.

Yang Yan’s expression turned serious, making him worried about the current situation on Wandering Dragon Star.

From the outset, he anticipated that after his departure, Wandering Dragon Star would hardly remain peaceful.

But he never expected that the array, which could originally endure for a hundred years, would now have a gap.

What about the recovery of the other side since the battle in ancient times?

If such super experts appear again, the consequences would undoubtedly be unimaginable.

All of a sudden, Yang Yan couldn’t help but think about the great calamity that Ling Chongzi mentioned.

He had a vague feeling that this could very well be the prelude to the Great Calamity.

Therefore, Yang Yan hurriedly said to the Void-Devouring Tiger, "Hu, I initially planned to let you train here and consolidate your cultivation for a speedy breakthrough to Divinity Transformation."

"But now it seems we can’t stay here any longer and must return at once. I sense that a catastrophe might soon come to Wandering Dragon Star."

The Void-Devouring Tiger suddenly showed a helpless expression but, not without a hint of a smile, said, "I would like to as well! I found you because of our Soul Contract. I drifted in the void myself for a year to find you, but I have no guide to return!"

With this, it lowered its head somewhat bashfully.

Yang Yan calmed down at this moment, and after a pause, he said solemnly to the Void-Devouring Tiger, "Wandering Dragon Star might be facing significant danger. No matter what, it is imperative for us to return quickly."

"I do know the way back, but the path is fraught with danger, with the possibility of falling at any time. Are you willing to accompany me?"

The Void-Devouring Tiger looked at Yang Yan angrily, then said aggrievedly, "I went through hardships, braving death to find you; what’s to fear even if I fall on the way ahead!"

"Besides, if you hadn’t led me out of the Demon Cave, I would have been long dead. So don’t look down on me!"

Yang Yan couldn’t help but feel a surge of emotion in his heart.

Although the Void-Devouring Tiger is his Soul Beast, over the years, it had become more like family, a brother.

He reached out and gently patted the fur of the Void-Devouring Tiger, saying seriously, "Good! In my life, having a brother like you, I would die without regrets."

"There’s no time to lose, Hu, let’s go! Let’s see what dangers lurk in the depths of this Land of Mist. Perhaps through this journey, you’ll have already broken through to the Void Realm by the time we return to Wandering Dragon Star!"

Along the way, Yang Yan and the Void-Devouring Tiger pushed their speed to the limits.

Now, both of them had reached the strength of Divinity Transformation, especially the Void-Devouring Tiger, whose innate talent allowed it to use Space Forbidden Techniques continuously.

If it weren’t for the surrounding mist affecting and considerably limiting the use of spells, even encountering the strongest Mystic Beasts on the way wouldn’t hinder them as the Power of Space could make it a walk in the park.

As they delved deeper, they encountered more and more Ancient Corpses; however, Yang Yan, having already reached the peak of Divinity Transformation and with his prior experience, could deal with them effortlessly without the Void-Devouring Tiger’s help.

Thus, following the map’s markings, the man and the tiger passed through challenge after challenge surprisingly without incident, gradually venturing into the depths of the mist.

Of course, during this process, both Yang Yan and the Void-Devouring Tiger gained considerable rewards.

Because the deeper they went, the higher-level the beasts they encountered were.

And the fallen cultivators of this place were often remarkably powerful.

They left behind countless treasures, all of which were now a windfall for Yang Yan.

Of course, the greedy Void-Devouring Tiger no longer dared to covet Yang Yan’s pills, but faced with the wealth of gemstone fragments and even some Magical Artifacts adorned with jewels, it accepted them without exception.
