Chapter 6: Scroll Of Darkness
As I walked step by step. Subconsciously ,my martial intent was raging through my body and refining it in cycles.
With every rebirth cycle ,a strand of martial intent absorbed Dark Attribute spirit power and settled in my spiritual sea.
By the time I arrived at the rival clan ,which was on the other side of the forest and took about 2 hours by walking ,a black and white scroll had formed in it.
Floating above the sea made of mental energy in my head ,it emanated a dark and wicked aura as it began solidifying.
After it finished ,the martial intent refining my body became more intense and dark as it began flowing out of my body.
It started running rampant and even started damaging the areas it passed by as if it was a tangible force.
Flattening the area around me and even destroying the grass rooted in the ground as I passed by.
Leaving a trail of desolate earth everywhere I passed by. It even started causing the Tiger clan caves to begin caving in and getting wrecked.
This alone killed half the population and caught the rival clan entirely off guard. My form started shifting as I started making my rounds around the perimeter of the clan grounds.
Making sure I destroyed every inch of land that they called home as I encircled them. Killing any tigers that crossed my path along the way.
I had slaughtered around 50 tigers before I started feeling an intense aura approach. My form had finished changing as I had grown into a completely different look.
My small body with light grey fur had grown into a huge bulky body with dark grey fur along with black and white fur accents shaped like a Chinese Hanfu under my clothes.
I naturally started posing into a stance with my knees bent ninety degrees with one hand in front of my face and the other resting at my chest.
My legs were in opposite positions 180 degrees from each other and my head turned right to face the opponent.
It felt almost natural as I fell into the stance. I already knew that this stance was the opening position for the Single-Strike Style.
I could instinctively sense a new technique ingrained in my body as I straightened myself. Preparing for the upcoming fight.
I could sense the power of a hundred thousand year spirit beast approaching as I began the rest of my preparations.
I activated my Spirit Focus and Spiritual Protection. Doubling my attack strength and giving me another layer of protection from damage.
My increased strength allows for my spiritual protection to last for more than one hit depending on the amount of spirit power used.
Bringing my gaze forward ,I saw a humanoid tiger in front of me. It wasn't a transformed spirit beast ,but a hundred thousand year spirit beast that adapted its form to be more convenient.
It doesn't do anything besides allow them to live and fight like humans and other humanoid spirit beasts.
Sensing its aura with my new strength ,I could tell it was around 160,000 years old. Meanwhile ,my new combat power in this new form after the double effect is equivalent to a 150,000 year spirit beast.
While ten thousand years may not seem like much ,in the hundred thousand rank ,it's still an entire black spirit ring apart.
Even at this level ,it makes a slight difference. Especially if you consider my actual cultivation is less than twenty five thousand.
Meaning this tiger could have more combat power than its age suggests.
