Spirit Giant Tiger & Energy Spring

 As the trio, including Tashirn, walked the path, no one, beasts and men, dared to cross their path. The two might be just Genesis Core and Genesis Spring experts, but the tiger is a genuine peak Tier 9 Genesis Beast.

 No sane person dared to cross the beast. Subsequently, most people questioned their identities.

 "Those two must be related to a powerful expert. After all, the beast is subservient to them despite being a lot more powerful than the two,"

 "Yes, I think you are correct. Those two must have a lot of treasures in their storage ring,"

 "If you want to die go. I like to see what a 5th Stage Genesis Sea expert can do against a peak Tier 9 Genesis Beast,"

 "I am just saying. If we worked together, we can kill them easily and run away from the beast,"

 "And what if they related to those powerful experts? Aside from the beast, he might have prepared some other life-saving techniques for them.

 And if we don't kill them, what if they complain to the expert? We will die without knowing how we die,"

 "Looks like some people trying their luck,"

 "Huh, we might be able to jo-"

 "And that's why I told you to not go bother those two,"

 "The tiger beast had formed a pseudo-domain!"

 "It seems so. Well, I am going. I don't want to incur the beast's wrath,"

 "W-wait for me,"

-x-

 "What kind of pseudo-domain is that?" Ryker asked Tashirn, who pushed her forehead to his hand, the only way they could converse.

 "It is battle domain. It is something I subconsciously formed long before giving birth to my son," 

 "So, you had been stuck at the Genesis Grand Realm for a long time,"

 "Yes, about 100 years or so,"

 "That is long," and he is not kidding. Mortals, mortal humans that is, have a life span of up to 100 years to 110 years, if they are lucky.

 As they cultivate, their lifespan increases with each major and grand realm. When one reached the peak of Genesis Grand Realm, their lifespan could reach up to 400 to 500 years, more than quadrupled mortals.

 Beast is the same, though most beasts with cultivation tend to live longer than human cultivators. He is not sure if it is the truth but most beasts at the peak of the Genesis Beast can live up to 1000 years, double the peak Genesis Grand realm human experts.

 Of course, the faster a person reaches the next major or grand realm, the better it is, as long as their foundation is stable. He is not so sure but he believed those geniuses at the Core Region could attain high cultivation realm and have their foundation stable and strong.

 After all, only with a strong foundation could they achieve a higher realm relatively easily. He then decided to ask, "Why can't you reach the next realm?"

 "My blood is not that pure, so I could not reach the next grand realm without any danger. And I need to protect my child,"

 Ryker nodded in understanding before he thought of something. Didn't he have Blood Purifying Pill? It should help the Tashirn. And there is also the Cultivation Art that he believed suited for the Monster Race.

 But it should also suit beasts as well, as Monster Race are beasts that could take a human form and are more intelligent than their counterpart.

 As they walked, they heard a powerful roar that shook the entire forest, sending weaker beasts fleeing. Some of the more powerful beasts roared back but did not do anything past that, telling him the beast was anything but weak.

 Yet, Ryker, with his mastery of the Law of Wind could tell that the beast was dying. And he could not help but think it was similar to Tashirn's roar.

 As if to confirm his thought, Tashirn send a Soul Message to him. "That is the roar of a Spirit Giant Tiger," she sounded excited. Then again, with the prospect of something that could help her evolve and ascend to the next realm, who would not be excited?

 "Let's follow it,"

-x-

 They followed the roar and saw the sight of the Spirit Giant Tiger, lying on its side. Yet, despite looking half dead already, the carcasses of different peak Tier 9 Genesis Beast told the observers that the mighty beast could still fight.

 While Tashirn looked at the beast, Ryker turned his attention to the spring it was lying next to. He could feel the energy concentration near the spring was high. And he believed if he took a dip, it would be higher.

 Mashia looked at where he was looking at and gasped. "An energy spring, here?!"

 Ryker turned towards the dragon girl. "Energy spring?" he questioned.

 "You know about world veins. Energy spring can be said as something directly produced by the world's veins. It is often said that if the world's veins direct contact with the surface, it will form an energy spring.

 If the energy spring persists over time, it will transform into an energy lake. And if another long period passes, it would transform into an energy sea.

 That is why the last three major realms of the Genesis Grand realm are called that way, by the way," Mashia clarified.

 "Hhmm, the question is if we can somehow get the Spirit Giant Tiger and the energy spring without others jumping on us," Ryker said. His eyes hungrily stared at the energy spring.

 While he could not determine the amount of energy, he could instinctively tell that it was more than enough for him to reach the Genesis Lake realm. 

 Considering he had reached the 7th Stage and his energy consumption for each really is terrifyingly high, such opportunities are not something he wants to miss.

 Yet, the threat of the Spirit Giant Tiger and the beasts and humans surrounding the area make it dangerous for them, despite Tashirn being a peak Tier 9 Genesis Beast that had formed its own pseudo-domain. 

To ward off the others, he needs to show them he is something they cannot handle, or at least his backing is more terrifying than they could even dream of. At least for the human cultivators.

 For the beast, a powerful aura that surpassed the Spirit Giant Tiger is needed so they would not dare to even go 5-kilometer radius of this current spot. And killed the Spirit Giant Tiger while at it. As it even reached the end of its life span it could still kill peak Tier 9 Genesis Beast.

 As he thought of all the arsenal he has, he thought of something he has that could kill the beast and scare the competitors away.
