Chapter 541 Bloodline Backlash
The dark golden light on the silver tiger's body surged unconsciously, as if echoing the warrior in the illusion.
The battle began. Warriors from all three races charged forward bravely, but the power of the Dark Clan was overwhelming. With each clash, countless warriors fell.
“They are losing ground.” The son’s tentacles clenched together nervously.
Just when the situation was hanging by a thread, seven figures suddenly appeared in the sky. They were dressed in white robes, and each of them held a different magical artifact.
“The Holy Race…” the saber-toothed tiger murmured, “So the legends are true.”
The seven elders of the Holy Race acted simultaneously. They formed a circle and began chanting ancient incantations. A massive magic circle formed in the air, and golden light cascaded down like a waterfall.
The Dark Clan's offensive was instantly halted. The shadowy figures let out shrill screams under the golden light, turning into ashes one by one.
"So impressive!" The daughter exclaimed, speechless.
However, the elders of the Holy Race paid a heavy price. As the magic array activated, their bodies began to become transparent.
“Burning their life force…” Yue Qing’s heart skipped a beat. “They are using their lives to cast spells.”
One of the elders suddenly turned his head, his gaze piercing through time and space, looking straight at Yueqing.
"The inheritor of the power of twins." His voice echoed in Yue Qing's mind. "Remember, light and darkness are one. Only by understanding this can you truly master your power."
Before Yueqing could react, the illusion changed again.
This time, they found themselves in a secret chamber. The first king of the Tiger Clan was conversing with a holy elder.
“The seal won’t last forever.” The elder handed him a crystal. “This is the seed of royal blood. Find a suitable successor and let it awaken.”
The first king accepted the crystal: "Why did you choose the Tiger Clan?"
“Because you have the most unwavering will,” the elder smiled. “Moreover, the key to the future lies not in a single force, but in integration.”
Silver Tiger watched this scene, his body trembling slightly. He finally understood the origin of his bloodline.
The illusion changed again. This time it was a snowfield, and a little boy was chasing something. Tentacles were growing from his arms.
“That’s…” The son’s eyes widened.
The little boy's tentacles were exactly the same as his son's, both shimmering with purifying power. He was playing with an injured snow rabbit, his tentacles gently healing its wounds.
"Another form of purifying power," the white-robed figure said, "not for fighting, but for healing."
The son looked thoughtfully at his tentacles. So, his abilities had this kind of use.
The saber-toothed tiger suddenly growled, "Look over there!"
In a corner of the illusion, a familiar figure flashed by. It was the young Saber-toothed Tiger, fighting a group of Dark Clan members.
“I remember now…” Saber-toothed tiger’s voice trembled, “It wasn’t an enemy that sealed me, but the Holy Race. They said that my existence would bring even greater disaster.”
"Why?" Yueqing asked.
"Because I have the blood of the Dark Clan in my veins," Saber-toothed Tiger said with a wry smile. "I am a product of light and dark hybridity."
Everyone was shocked.
"The Holy Race feared I would lose control, so they sealed me beneath the ice," the saber-toothed tiger continued, "until I met you."
The illusions continued. Scenes from the past flashed by like a revolving lantern: the division of the three races, the disappearance of the Holy Race, the lurking of the Dark Race…
"So this world has so many secrets," Yueqing murmured.
"The biggest secret is yet to be revealed." The figure in white robes raised his long staff. "Watch the final scene."
The illusion suddenly accelerated, and time flew by. The scene froze on a full moon night, and the cry of a baby rang out.
That was a scene from when Yueqing had just traveled back in time.
"Why am I here?" Yueqing was stunned.
In the illusion, a beam of light descended from the sky and entered the squirrel's body. At the same time, the entire beast world trembled.
“Your arrival is not accidental,” said the figure in white robes, “but rather you were chosen.”
"What should I select?"
"To end this war that has lasted for a thousand years."
The words had barely left his lips when the illusion suddenly distorted. The once clear image blurred, and a terrifying scene appeared—
The entire beast world was swallowed by darkness, and all living beings wailed in agony. A massive rift opened in the sky, from which countless dark beings poured forth.
In this apocalyptic scene, a familiar figure stood at the highest point, his face obscured by shadow, but his aura...
"Elder Xue?!" Silver Tiger exclaimed in shock.
The illusion abruptly ended, and all the images vanished. The underground space returned to its original state, with only the white-robed figure remaining on the altar.
"Is this the future?" Yue Qing's voice trembled.
"It's a possible future." The white-robed figure slowly dissipated. "Whether it can be changed depends on you."
The altar suddenly cracked open, and a stone box rose from it. The box opened, and inside lay a token.
"With this token, you may enter the ruins of the Holy Race." The voice of the white-robed figure grew fainter and fainter, "There you will find the answers you seek..."
The figure vanished completely, and the underground space began to collapse.
"Let's go!" Silver Tiger grabbed the token and led the group out.
The saber-toothed tiger's massive body cleared a path, its tentacles engulfing the two children. Just as they burst out of the passage, the entire underground space collapsed.
"Huff..." Yueqing gasped for breath, "Those hallucinations just now..."
“It’s all true,” Sabretooth said in a deep voice. “I remember everything.”
Silver Tiger looked at the token in his hand, which was covered with intricate runes: "Where could the Holy Race ruins be?"
Suddenly, my daughter pointed into the distance: "Look!"
At the far north, an iceberg is glowing. The light echoes the runes on the token.
"It seems we've found our destination." Yueqing took a deep breath.
But just then, a strange laugh came from the wind and snow.
"We've found you."
The laughter was still echoing when Silver Tiger suddenly knelt down on one knee.
"Father!" the daughter exclaimed.
Yueqing immediately helped him up: "What's wrong?"
Cold sweat beaded on the silver tiger's forehead, and its dark golden fur began to burn uncontrollably. The flames were no ordinary fire, but a manifestation of the power of its bloodline.
"Damn it..." Silver Tiger gritted his teeth, "It was just an illusion."
The saber-toothed tiger growled, "The royal bloodline has been activated."
"What do you mean?" Yueqing asked nervously.
“After seeing the memories of his ancestors, the royal bloodline will automatically awaken,” the saber-toothed tiger said. “But his body is not ready yet.”
The flames on Silver Tiger's body burned ever brighter. His eyes also turned pure gold and lost their focus.
The son's tentacles tried to get closer, but were driven back by the high temperature.
"Don't come any closer!" Silver Tiger managed to stay conscious. "I can't control myself..."
Before he finished speaking, a violent aura erupted from his body. The surrounding snow melted instantly, and the ground cracked.
Yueqing did not back down, unleashing the full power of her twin powers. Warm light enveloped the silver tiger, intertwining with dark golden flames.
"Does it hurt?" she asked softly.
