Immortal of the Ages

Three ferocious beasts appeared—a lion, a tiger, and a leopard, each more daunting than the last.

To the left, the lion bore a mane of gold, every strand steeped in golden blood, regal and domineering. Its roar alone shook the desolation flames in the surroundings. It was no beast wounded in battle but a creature whose sweat shone like molten gold, teeming with a vitality supreme among the demonic ranks of the Six Paths of Reincarnation. Known as the Goldblood Lion, its kin were legion, its fame vast, and it was a general of renown within the Desolation Corps.

Centered between its compatriots was an even larger black tiger, its face grim as a fiend, twisted in a snarl. Thick, dark smoke wreathed its form, and from its jaws hung fangs a foot long, personifying the very essence of dread. This Dark Saber-Toothed Tiger, too, hailed from the highest echelons of the demonic ranks, born to command, naturally imperious, and fiercely brave in battle.

To the far right lurched the leopard, smaller yet swifter, a blur of lethal grace. Resembling a panther, it wasn't adorned with copper spots but with glowing blue stars, casting an ethereal light that cloaked it in an elegant yet solemn aura, much like a deadly assassin poised for the kill. This was the Swiftcloud Star Leopard, an aerial marauder of the corps, an expert in sudden assaults, swift and unpredictable in its elegance.

These three—lion, tiger, leopard—stood as the overlords of their rank, each bearing the position of lieutenants, signifying they were elites in the Third Baptism Realm. Though young, their lineage was noble, their ancestors holding high stations within the army.

Even though their official positions were lieutenants, with 100 soldiers under each of their commands, their real status was probably much loftier, similar to that of the Desolation Marshal's daughter, Qi Qiqi.

At that moment, their collective ire was directed solely at Moon Fairy, dwarfing the nine-tailed silver fox in sheer size and ferocity.

Thunder roared thrice as they descended from the heavens, their flesh-and-blood forms hurling toward Moon Fairy, rage nearly spilling blood from their snarls.

“Shi Chan, Mo Sha, Zhao Yichen, what are you doing?!” Qi Qiqi, upon hearing the roars, spun around just in time to see the lion, tiger, and leopard pounce into their midst.

Shi Chan, Mo Sha, and Zhao Yichen… these were the names of the Goldblood Lion, Dark Sabre-Toothed Tiger, and Swiftcloud Star Leopard.

“Yichen, protect Qi Qiqi!” Mo Sha, the Dark Saber-Toothed Tiger, thundered, slamming a paw down toward Moon Fairy.

The Swiftcloud Star Leopard moved like a streak of stars, flashing in front of the multicolored qilin to shield her. “Qiqi, don’t be afraid! He hasn’t succeeded. We’ll protect you and make that villain pay dearly!”

“What? He’s Moon Fairy, the great hero who saved the Reincarnation Wick. We were just playing!” Qi Qiqi exclaimed, baffled.

“Destroy him!”

The trio, eyes bloodshot and nostrils smoking with fury, didn’t catch a word of Qi Qiqi’s explanation.

In their eyes, Qi Qiqi, as the daughter of the Desolation Marshal, was akin to a celestial goddess. Her intimacy with Moon Fairy had ignited their wrath, clouding their vision with thoughts of revenge and punishment.

“Damn wretched fox! You weak, contemptible creature, daring to defile the multicolored qilin!” roared the Goldblood Lion, its voice thundering with such force that the surrounding desolate fires swelled like a tsunami.

In the bestial ranks, foxes, cunning and sly, might claw their way to some status, but remained abjectly lowly before these supreme demonic breeds.

“A country mutt dares to climb atop the multicolored qilin?”

Among beast demons, the sight of intimate frolic and play—unhidden by clothing, only fur in sight—was prone to misunderstandings, and often stoked the violence of other males.

Their murderous intent and fury toward Moon Fairy were just as primal, driven purely by their breeding instincts.

Thunder cracked twice, piercing the air.

Zhao Yichen, having shielded Qi Qiqi, watched as Shi Chan and Mo Sha, one wreathed in golden flames, the other cloaked in dark winds, lunged at Moon Fairy from either side.

With their Demon Sources and the power of three tribulations at their command, their demon magic and physical prowess were unparalleled.

The disparity in their forms was like that between ordinary lions and tigers versus a petite white fox.

"Why so angry?" Moon Fairy mused, his chilling gaze fixed on his assailants. His nine tails swayed behind him, tips glinting with the 18 segments of the Immortal Asylum, casting a chilling silver gleam. His fangs mirrored those of the Dark Saber-Toothed Tiger. He had truly become a saber-toothed fox.

"I'm in the Establishment stage of the Second Baptism Realm; they're probably in the Early or Mid stage of the Third Baptism Realm," Moon Fairy calculated.

Before borrowing a Calamity Source from Qi Qiqi, he might have feared them. But now, what was there to fear?

"Be careful, Moon Bro!" Qi Qiqi cried, her eyes brimming with tears. She had never seen Moon Fairy in battle and underestimated his prowess against these top-tier demonic prodigies.

In this lightning-flash moment, Qi Qiqi's tender age and slightly lesser strength meant she couldn't intervene in time.

Her anxious worry contrasted sharply with Moon Fairy's calm, almost mocking demeanor.

BUZZ! Within Moon Fairy, the power of his Demon Source—infused with the Bleak Bone Wildfire and Myriad Evil White Thunder Calamity Sources—erupted. White wind, fire, and thunder swirled around the silver fox.

In the blink of an eye, his face sprouted six eyes—pale, yellow, and blood-red—arranged in a grotesque tapestry that added a brutal visage to his eerie aspect.

"Worthless, filthy fox!"

"Where did this perverted bastard come from?"

Shi Chan and Mo Sha's claws tore through the air towards the nine-tailed silver fox.

BUZZ! Moon Fairy blurred into motion. He didn't retreat but advanced, transforming into a blinding white light of wind, fire, and thunder, and in a terrifying burst of speed, appeared right before the Goldblood Lion and Dark Saber-Toothed Tiger!

BOOM! His fox claws, one on the left and one on the right, met the gigantic claws of Mo Sha and Shi Chan head-on!

The tiny fox paws against the enormous lion and tiger claws—it was an absurd mismatch!

Such a clash appeared almost comical… Yet, during the exchange, expressions of surprise flickered across the faces of Shi Chan and Mo Sha.

"You twinky little fo.. GAGHHH!!"

"Idiot, you're over...UGGHHH!!"

Two agonized screams immediately ripped through the air.

SNAP! CRACK! The robust limbs of the tiger and lion broke as if they had collided with pillars of iron!

The twin sounds of shattering bones were painfully sharp to the ears!

As the Goldblood Lion and Dark Saber-Toothed Tiger cried out in shock and pain, they stared in disbelief at the smiling little fox beneath their paws, their faces a spectacle of astonishment.

"How is this possible!"

They exchanged a look, their hearts thundering with shock.

"What…?" Even the distant Swiftcloud Star Leopard gaped in utter disbelief.

"Moon Bro?" The multicolored qilin, frantic till now, stood frozen, forgetting to explain further as she witnessed the scene.

A flicker of strange light danced in her prismatic eyes.

This bizarre spectacle was something the three top talents of the Desolation Corps couldn't fathom.

"I'll join too!" Zhao Yichen plummeted from above, transforming into a sharp streak of starlight, like a meteor howling towards the side of Moon Fairy!

WHOOSH! Moon Fairy’s lowermost pair of yellow eyes instantly locked on the Swiftcloud Star Leopard!

His nine slender fox tails whipped fiercely, striking sideways with a snap!

CRACK! The Swiftcloud Star Leopard, charging at a terrifying speed, was flung back even faster by the fierce strike, blood spraying from his form.

His scream, filled with incredulity and confusion, echoed.

With a casual flick, the nine tails sent the much larger Swiftcloud Star Leopard flying almost 1,000 meters, a truly frightening sight.

"Let's unite and destroy this wretched fox!"
