C32 Discovered by Accident

The force of Zhuang Xing's fist erupted with tremendous power, colliding with the Earth Devil Tiger's right claw. The beast let out a pained howl as it was sent hurtling through the air, crashing to the ground with severe injuries.

This particular Earth Devil Tiger was roughly at the Spirit Wheel Stage Level Five Heaven in terms of strength. For Zhuang Xing, with his current capabilities, subduing such a Demonic Beast was hardly a challenge.

Upon witnessing its companion being struck down, another Earth Devil Tiger flew into a rage. It let out an enraged roar and charged at Zhuang Xing with a ferocity that suggested it intended to rip him apart.

"You're next, beast," Zhuang Xing muttered, his figure a blur as he swiftly evaded the attack. He then made a beeline for the wounded Earth Devil Tiger, determined to eliminate the weaker of the two before confronting the more formidable opponent.

"Perish, beast," Zhuang Xing bellowed, his fist clenched as he charged forward. His fist force unleashed a devastating blow, striking the Earth Devil Tiger with such impact that the creature's cries filled the air before its body shattered under the sheer power of his punch.

The surviving Earth Devil Tiger, witnessing the death of its ally, was consumed by fury. Its eyes glinted with murderous intent as it sought to tear Zhuang Xing limb from limb in retribution.

"Now it's your turn," Zhuang Xing declared, turning his attention to the remaining Earth Devil Tiger, which boasted greater strength. He estimated it to be at least at the Spirit Wheel Stage Level Seven Heaven—a formidable challenge indeed.

As Zhuang Xing readied himself to strike, a mysterious red light burst forth from the carcass of the fallen Earth Devil Tiger, shooting straight towards him and swiftly merging into his body.

"What's this?" Zhuang Xing was taken aback, having never experienced such a phenomenon. He was momentarily at a loss.

Then, he sensed the Fire Phoenix Spell within him accelerate, enveloping the red light. In the blink of an eye, it disintegrated the light into a stream of pure Spiritual Force, which then flowed into his dantian.

Immediately afterward, Zhuang Xing was astonished to discover that the Spiritual Force within his dantian had grown slightly stronger. He was now one step closer to reaching the Spirit Wheel Stage Level Three Heaven.

"What's happening here?"

A possibility suddenly crossed Zhuang Xing's mind, but he couldn't be certain it was correct. He knew he had to put it to the test to find out.

Zhuang Xing slowly lifted his gaze to the remaining Earth Devil Tiger and with a loud shout, he charged forward. He was determined to use this Earth Devil Tiger to verify his hypothesis.

"Chaos Shocking Spear!"

Gripping the Chaos Shocking Spear firmly, Zhuang Xing let out a thunderous cry and launched a powerful thrust. The fierce spear light, carrying a formidable force, shot towards the Earth Devil Tiger in the blink of an eye.

The Earth Devil Tiger let out a roar and charged forward, its body radiating a menacing aura that was truly chilling.

Zhuang Xing's face was etched with seriousness. This Earth Devil Tiger was considerably stronger than the one he had previously slain. He knew he couldn't afford to take this lightly.

Furious beyond measure, the Earth Devil Tiger fixed its gaze on Zhuang Xing. It found it unfathomable that such an insignificant human, barely enough to get stuck between its teeth, had the audacity to kill its kin and challenge its authority. It was a crime that could not be forgiven. The beast was intent on shredding him to pieces.

The Earth Devil Tiger leapt into the air, its claw descending fiercely. The claw, long and as sharp as daggers, promised excruciating pain if Zhuang Xing wasn't careful—a single swipe could tear away a large chunk of flesh.

Zhuang Xing swiftly sidestepped, narrowly evading the lethal blow. He was acutely aware of the Earth Devil Tiger's formidable strength and commanding presence. He could not afford to be complacent.

"Chaos Shocking Spear!"

With a firm grip on his spear, Zhuang Xing lunged, sending the potent spear light straight at the Earth Devil Tiger.

The Earth Devil Tiger bellowed in rage, lifting its claw to meet the thrust of Zhuang Xing's Chaos Shocking Spear. Its claw was incredibly tough, its power unmatched, and it struck the spear with a resounding clang.

"Heaven Killing Style."

Zhuang Xing, spear in his right hand and forming a seal with his left, unleashed the devastating Heaven Killing Style. A fearsome power burst forth in an instant, surging directly at the Earth Devil Tiger.

The Earth Devil Tiger showed no sign of change. It raised its other claw, a claw so hard it carried the power to shatter all in its path, and it came crashing down, pulverizing Zhuang Xing's Heaven Killing Style in one fell swoop.

"You're quite strong."

Zhuang Xing burst into hearty laughter, his blood boiling with fervor and his energy surging. He felt no fear in the face of the formidable Earth Devil Tiger.

"Fire Power."

With a loud cry, Zhuang Xing activated the Fire Phoenix Spell, and terrifying flames began to blaze. They enveloped Zhuang Xing completely, transforming him into a Fire Man in the blink of an eye.

The Fire Phoenix Spell is one of the most powerful Fire Attribute Cultivation Methods in existence. Of the myriad Cultivation Methods Zhuang Xing had encountered, none could rival the Fire Phoenix Spell. The Flame Power it generated was immensely strong, capable of incinerating everything in the world.

Demonic Beasts, such creatures that they are, have an innate fear of many natural forces, like thunder or fire. Employing the Fire Phoenix Spell against the Earth Devil Tiger was the most apt technique.

True to form, the Earth Devil Tiger, upon witnessing the fierce flames engulfing Zhuang Xing, transforming him into a Fire Man, was struck with terror as if it had seen something horrifying, and it hesitated to attack any further.

"Fire Spear, strike!"

Zhuang Xing's Cultivation Method was in full swing as endless flames erupted, funneling into the Chaos Shocking Spear. The spear's tip blazed with intense flames. Gripping the Fire Spear, Zhuang Xing lunged forward, directing a surge of formidable power straight at the Earth Devil Tiger.

The Earth Devil Tiger roared in defiance and swiped with its claw, its slender digits colliding with the Chaos Shocking Spear.

In that instant, a fierce burst of qi strength exploded from the point of impact, jolting both the Earth Devil Tiger and Zhuang Xing, each sustaining a significant blow.

"The power of the Fire Phoenix."

The Fire Phoenix, also known as the Phoenix, is a celestial bird of mythic stature, ranking alongside the True Dragon, reigning over all Divine Beasts with its invincible divine might, unmatched under the heavens.

A piercing screech emanated from within the flames, its resonant cry reverberating through the sky.

The Earth Devil Tiger's spirit was shaken to its core, sensing a pulse emanating from the depths of its soul. These Demonic Beasts, for their entire lives, strived to evolve into Divine Beasts, and the Phoenix stood as the most exalted among them. It was only natural that the Earth Devil Tiger harbored a deep-seated fear.

Then, a Fire Phoenix emerged, its wings unfurling as it ascended from the midst of the flames. Engulfed in fierce, blazing fire, the Fire Phoenix beat its wings, and a powerful surge of flame followed.

The temperature in the vicinity soared in a matter of seconds. A blistering wave of heat swept over the area, striking fear into the hearts of all and leaving them utterly astonished.
