Chapter 1774: Void Realm, Border Realm

Heavenly Tiger King's face was full of pain; he was now truly filled with regret.

If he had known this would happen, why hadn't he waited a bit longer?

At least, Tiger Heart wasn't truly dead, was he?

Once you entered the Demon Eye Cave Heaven, there was simply no possibility of survival.

It was said that even Cloud Ridge Heavenly Venerate dared not venture deep inside!

“Father, let me go!” At that moment, Tiger Heart suddenly spoke.

Heavenly Tiger King's tiger body trembled; he looked at Tiger Heart and said, “If you go, there will be no chance of coming back!”

Tiger Heart sighed and said, “Father, having been reborn, I have many reflections! This matter—we were the ones who harmed the innocent, and we were in the wrong from the start. Lord Ye Yuan is righteous and loyal, willing to enter the Demon Eye Cave Heaven for his brother. Why should I, Tiger Heart, be afraid? If the lord dies inside, I will accompany him! This is what we father and son owe him!”

In an instant, everyone in the cave seemed not to recognize Tiger Heart anymore.

The old Tiger Heart had been arrogant and overbearing, looking down on everyone, like a child who never grew up.

But after experiencing life and death, he seemed to have undergone a complete transformation.

Ye Yuan glanced at Tiger Heart with slight surprise, not expecting him to volunteer to go in with him.

But soon, he understood.

Between life and death, one could achieve great enlightenment.

The current Tiger Heart was just like he himself had been back then.

If Tiger Heart could survive this trip into the Demon Eye Cave Heaven, he would surely become a great talent in the future.

Heavenly Tiger King's face was full of conflict; finally, he let out a long sigh and said, “Forget it, go with him!”

…

Standing before the Demon Eye Cave Heaven, Ye Yuan felt as if he saw a primordial beast opening its bloody mouth, ready to devour the entire wilderness.

The light outside was bright, yet such a large cave was invisible even at its entrance!

Inside was endless darkness.

“This is the Demon Eye Cave Heaven. No one has ever known what lies inside, and no one has ever dared to enter.” Heavenly Tiger King looked at the cave mouth, his face full of fear.

Clearly, he too felt the terror of this Demon Eye Cave Heaven.

Ye Yuan nodded and walked slowly toward the Demon Eye Cave Heaven.

Tiger Heart said to Heavenly Tiger King, “Your son is leaving. Father, take care!”

With that, Tiger Heart trotted over and followed behind Ye Yuan.

The moment they stepped into the Demon Eye Cave Heaven, the figures of the man and the tiger seemed to be directly swallowed by the giant mouth, vanishing without a trace.

Ye Yuan felt a flash before his eyes; when he looked back, the Heavenly Demon Mountain Range was nowhere to be seen.

“Lord, it seems… we have arrived in another space!” Tiger Heart said.

Ye Yuan nodded and said, “It appears that this so-called Demon Eye Cave Heaven is the entrance to another space. Moreover, this entrance is one-way; we cannot go back.”

Tiger Heart was overjoyed upon hearing this and said, “Then that means this place is not a dead end. Brother White Light might still be alive?”

But Ye Yuan's face showed no joy; clearly, he was not as optimistic as Tiger Heart.

“This is not a good place, but at least there is a glimmer of hope. I hope we can find him. Eat this; it should help you break through to the late fourth stage. After you break through, we will set out.”

As he spoke, Ye Yuan tossed a pill to Tiger Heart.

Tiger Heart exclaimed in surprise, “This… this is a Void Spirit Divine-grade Blazing Sun Heavenly Flame Pill! Was this pill refined by you, Lord?”

Ye Yuan rolled his eyes and said, “If I didn't have this skill, how could I have saved you?”

Tiger Heart chuckled sheepishly and said, “Haha, true. But, Lord, don't you blame me for harming Brother White Light?”

Ye Yuan said calmly, “It was not your intention. My anger is directed at your father for not distinguishing right from wrong and wrongfully accusing the innocent. Besides, in this matter, the blame lies with the one responsible; it does not fall on you.”

Upon hearing this, Tiger Heart couldn't help but say, “Actually, Father…”

Ye Yuan waved his hand to interrupt him and said, “You don't need to explain. If White Light is unharmed, everything will be fine.”

Tiger Heart dared not disobey and could only silently pray that White Light was safe.

He swallowed the Demon God Pill Ye Yuan had given him and began to go into seclusion to break through.

For the demon race, the bottleneck from the mid to late stage was even harder to break through than for humans.

Thus, the priest held a crucial position among the demon race.

Even if Heavenly Tiger King really wanted to destroy the Tiger Guard Imperial City, he would not dare to touch the Priest Temple.

Otherwise, he wouldn't even know how he died.

Tiger Heart's strength was similar to that of Black Eye and White Light; now White Light's strength had also reached the peak of the mid fourth stage.

There must have been some adventure along the way.

Now, Ye Yuan had produced a Void Spirit Divine-grade Blazing Sun Heavenly Flame Pill with a single move, making it a natural step for Tiger Heart to break through.

After Tiger Heart entered meditation, Ye Yuan set up a formation to isolate his aura and then began to observe the surroundings.

The place was desolate, with jagged rocks everywhere.

Moreover, it was completely dark, so dark that one couldn't see one's hand in front of one's face.

“Senior, what place is this?”

Wuchen was well-traveled and knowledgeable; facing this unknown place, Ye Yuan naturally had to consult him.

Wuchen shook his head and said, “I have never seen such a place either. But it looks like the Border Realm between the Tongtian Realm and the Void Realm.”

“Void Realm? Border Realm?” Ye Yuan had never heard these terms before and asked in confusion.

Wuchen said, “The Tongtian Realm has existed for countless billions of years, leaving behind countless small worlds. Small worlds gradually perish over time. However, some great cultivators can connect their small worlds to the Tongtian Realm, merging with it while remaining independent. Such small worlds are extremely stable and do not easily disappear. They leave behind their legacies and descendants there, allowing them to thrive. Such places are called Void Realms. The transitional area between a Void Realm and the Tongtian Realm is called the Border Realm! This kind of place is very unique and often gives rise to powerful beings.”

Ye Yuan was surprised; he hadn't expected such places to exist in the Tongtian Realm.

Truly, the world is vast and full of wonders!

However, he frowned and said, “No wonder I always feel that danger lurks everywhere. It seems this Border Realm might harbor some powerful existence!”

Wuchen nodded and said, “I'm afraid so!”

Suddenly, Ye Yuan's expression changed; a black shadow streaked across the night sky, heading straight for Tiger Heart, who was in the midst of breaking through.

Without any hesitation, Ye Yuan thrust his long sword, arriving before the shadow and striking it.

Boom!

The black shadow was sent flying by Ye Yuan's sword.

Owww…

The black shadow yelped in pain.

Ye Yuan's face darkened; he saw that it was a ferocious black wolf.

Its strength had actually reached the late fourth stage.

Moreover, Ye Yuan was secretly alarmed—the black wolf had taken his sword strike without any injury!

Ye Yuan looked closely; the wolf's eyes were bloodshot, drool dripping from its mouth, as if it were in a berserk state.

Just then, black shadows appeared one after another in the darkness.

Ye Yuan looked carefully; he and Tiger Heart had been surrounded by over a hundred ferocious beasts.

These beasts were in the same state as that black wolf.
