As a Sacred Beast of the Azure Dragon lineage, which enjoyed a legendary reputation and a unique destiny across the myriad worlds, the strength of its source power was self-evident. In its current realm, it had reached the peak of Soul Transformation, more than enough to sweep through almost any existence of the same rank.
Its physical body alone was terrifyingly resilient, boasting horrific recovery capabilities. Coupled with the protection of its source sacred power, it could simply stand still and allow many Soul Transformation cultivators and demons to attack it without suffering a scratch.
While saying it was "absolutely invincible among the same rank" might be a slight exaggeration, on this Soul Transformation battlefield, it was indeed invincible. From the moment Qing He awakened its source sacred power, victory was almost guaranteed.
The only suspense was how many Soul Transformation cultivators on the Star-Sea side would fall to those King-rank demons. After all, while the Star-Sea cultivators were mostly exceptionally talented and had made significant progress with the help of high-quality techniques and providential power, many of them were quite old. Furthermore, their opponents were more numerous, and the proportion of King-rank demons was much higher than on the Nascent Soul battlefield. In such a large-scale slaughter, death was almost inevitable.
Many had already prepared themselves mentally to face death.
However, just before the battle was about to erupt, a green sacred power rose from around every single cultivator!
"This power... my recovery and defense seem to have increased by several levels!"
"Is this the power of the Azure Dragon Sacred Beast?"
"Incredible! As expected of the head of the Four Sacred Beasts!"
True experts could tell the quality of a power as soon as it was revealed. These Soul Transformation cultivators, who stood at the absolute peak of the Star-Sea world, possessed vision and knowledge far beyond ordinary people. Yet, even they were shocked, proving just how powerful the protection of that green sacred power truly was.
"Fellow Daoists, I possess the ability to predict the future. While I cannot foresee the entire course of the war, if you form an array around me, I can help you avoid certain fatal crises that I can see!"
Hearing this, the cultivators did not hesitate, responding in unison, "Very well!"
They naturally had no doubts about this core pet beast that had always followed Qi Ping. Especially after witnessing the Little Immortal Tiger's combat, they were utterly convinced—those demons practically seemed to deliver their own weaknesses to the tiger's killing moves.
With the Little Immortal Tiger's precognition and pre-made formation plates, the weaknesses and flaws of the formation plates could be significantly compensated for, even without a true formation master to control them. They could also use this coordination to better display their strength and assist Qing He in the fight. After all, the combined power of more than twenty Soul Transformation cultivators was not to be underestimated; it was enough to pin down a large number of enemies and relieve a lot of pressure for Qing He.
The battle broke out soon after.
Because they were well-prepared and the Little Immortal Tiger had performed multiple pre-battle simulations using its precognition, the start of the battle was exceptionally smooth.
First, acting as the vanguard of the array, the little Azure Dragon charged into the demon army. It used no exaggerated spells or flashy techniques; it relied on power that was pure to the extreme. As a wood-attribute Sacred Beast, after awakening the source power of the Azure Dragon clan, its vitality had reached an unprecedented peak. This vitality, in turn, granted its physical body an extreme and exaggerated strength.
In a way, the Azure Dragon Sacred Beast was the manifestation of the ultimate strength of a body-tempering cultivator, except their strength came from that staggering vitality. Unlike ordinary body-temperers, the vitality of an Azure Dragon provided them with a continuous stream of power and a total lack of fear regarding injuries.
This ultimate strength and terrifying speed turned Qing He into the most horrific killing machine. Wherever it passed, the demon army was crushed into paste by its sheer physical might.
Even more terrifying was that wherever Qing He's body rolled over, all law powers were completely destroyed. The demons' powerful physical recovery and reassembly traits were crushed to bits, leaving them without any possibility of revival.
Furthermore, the array power added to Qing He increased its speed, strength, and physique to a certain extent, allowing its overall combat strength to climb even higher. Thus, the most horrific killing machine was born. Wherever Qing He went, whether it was ordinary elite demons or King-rank demons with stronger bloodline powers, they all perished. Only the strongest among them could barely block a few moves from Qing He, but they ultimately could not escape their doom.
This scene completely stunned the human cultivators of the Star-Sea side. Someone couldn't help but exclaim, "Is this the head of the Four Sacred Beasts—the Azure Dragon?"
"This is too exaggerated... this physical strength is even more terrifying than the legendary body-tempering experts!"
"As expected of the Star-Emperor's pet beast. Truly too strong!"
Compared to the excitement of the Star-Sea side, the demons were completely shell-shocked.
"Is this Azure Dragon too strong?"
"Is this even a fight?"
This was simply illogical. In all their conquests across various worlds, when had they ever encountered such an absurd enemy?
While Qing He's performance was blindingly brilliant, the other Soul Transformation cultivators of the Star-Sea were not far behind. Because Qing He absorbed the greatest pressure and dealt with the strongest enemies, the pressure on their shoulders was much lighter.
Under the boost of the arrays and the Little Immortal Tiger's precognition, any demons that approached were quickly annihilated by concentrated force. Fatal crises were avoided through the ability to foresee the future. Thus, aside from some unavoidable injuries, there were no large-scale casualties like in the other battlefields. Occasionally, those with heavy injuries would be quickly rotated to the rear for treatment.
With a chance to breathe, the casualty rate naturally dropped significantly. The Little Immortal Tiger's ability to predict the future became increasingly valuable in this large-scale battle, especially in military array confrontations, where it could more effectively concentrate power to deal with crises and eliminate enemies.
Under the combined efforts of Qing He and the Little Immortal Tiger, the battlefield actually displayed a one-sided trend!
During the battle, the Little Immortal Tiger gradually realized that the combination of arrays and precognition seemed to trigger a startling qualitative change.
"Perhaps in the future, I should learn arrays from Boss? That might allow me to better utilize my talent and ability..."
"After going back, I must study arrays diligently with Boss. As a beast of good fortune, I am naturally favored by heaven and earth, and my affinity with nature is high. The difficulty of understanding the operation of array laws should be low."
"If I can control a powerful array, I can not only amplify my own strength, but with the help of my precognition... I can better help Boss in the future!"
Although its current combat strength wasn't bad, compared to Qing He and Coal Ball, it seemed a bit weak. It was a Beast King; it didn't want to be a decorative vase that could only predict the future!
This tiger... was going to learn arrays!
