The undead have descended upon the world? I possess a sword that can cleave the heavens once more!

Although the opponent was a ninth-level illusory being, Wu You did not immediately turn around and run away.

Not to mention that he still has two more instances of the Pivot Tribulation Sword Intent to use, judging from the extremely fluctuating aura of the opponent, this giant beast is clearly in a state of serious injury.

In this situation, should we fight or flee?

At this moment, Wu You seemed to sense something.

He looked down at his pocket. There he saw the little black cat tugging at his coat with its paws, its deep blue eyes filled with sadness and pleading, its little ears trembling.

Wu You was taken aback: "It's not the Lustful Corpse Seed that's here, but someone from your clan?"

He raised an eyebrow: Wasn't it injected with an isolation reagent? How can this little black cat from the Beast Corpse Clan still sense the aura of its own kind?

Is there something special about this little black cat?

Or perhaps it's the influence of that approaching Void Realm Beast Corpse Species?

Wu You looked into the little black cat's wet, pleading eyes, remained silent for a moment, and then nodded.

Seeing this, the little black cat's eyes lit up again.

Wu You had his own reasons for choosing to stay.

Firstly, he could still use his trump card, the Pivot Sword Intent, twice. Even if that Void Realm Beast Corpse suddenly attacked, it was hard to say who would die.

Secondly, he wanted to see if he could use the black cat's connection to learn something about the Corpse Realm from it.

After all, he already knew from the Fifth Lord that the Corpse Realm had undergone tremendous changes. If he could learn more about the Corpse Realm, he could better understand himself and his enemy, laying the foundation for reaping experience points in the future.

The surging, immense aura drew ever closer, soon reaching within a kilometer of Wu You.

At the same time, a series of tremors came from the ground, as if thousands of horses were galloping.

At this moment, Wu You also saw the enormous figure, which was like a moving mountain.

It was a huge black and white tiger-like beast, as tall as a three- or four-story building at the shoulder, and its body length was astonishing; its tail alone was as thick as an adult's waist. It should have had four eyes, but at this moment, its left eye socket was a charred hole, with wisps of black smoke rising from the edge; its second eye on the right was also blind, with a layer of grayish-white membrane covering the eyeball.

Although the two remaining eyes still had some sparkle, they were bloodshot and the pupils flickered, like two lamps about to go out.

Its wounds extended far beyond its eyes. Its black and white fur was torn in multiple places, the deepest wound running from its shoulder blade all the way to its waist, almost revealing the golden-white bones underneath.

The wound wasn't from a fight; it looked more like something had ripped it open from the inside. The flesh was torn and rolled back, with irregular edges, and what seeped out wasn't blood, but a pale golden liquid with a faint glow.

Its limbs were also injured, its right foreleg was obviously bent unnaturally, and its foot could hardly touch the ground. The weight of its entire body was on its left hind leg.

When Wu You saw the giant tiger, the giant tiger also saw Wu You.

When it looked at Wu You, a hint of human-like surprise appeared in its two remaining eyes.

No, that's not right.

More specifically, when it saw the little black cat in Wu You's pocket, a hint of surprise flashed in its eyes, which had previously revealed despair.

Just to be on the safe side, Wu You loosely clenched his right hand, and starlight was drawn down from the star in the sky, condensing into a jet-black longsword in his palm.

A faint aura of destruction permeated the air.

Just as Wu You was on high alert, a male voice filled with suppressed pain rang in his mind.

"Don't be nervous." The voice was steady but weak, as if it came from a very far place. "I am not one of the invaders of your world, nor have I killed any humans."

"I escaped from the Corpse Realm to this place."

The Corpse Realm? The Corpse Origin Realm? Is this what the Corpse Species call their world?

You haven't killed any humans? You fled here?

Wu You still gripped the black longsword that gleamed with starlight tightly; of course, he wouldn't let his guard down just because of the other party's words.

In the deepest, darkest realms, any moment of letting your guard down can be fatal.

At this moment, the giant tiger's figure was getting closer and closer to Wu You, and was less than a hundred meters away.

Seeing that Wu You remained unmoved, the voice became even more anxious: "Whether you believe me or not, could you please let me talk to this little guy?"

"It says it refuses to communicate with me without your consent."

The voice carried an almost pleading tone, not like a pretense.

At this moment, the giant tiger had reached Wu You's side. It stopped about fifty meters away from Wu You, leaving some safe space, and did not come any closer.

Wu You carefully observed the enormous creature that was stopped fifty meters away.

Its body was trembling slightly due to excessive blood loss and energy depletion.

The wounds varied in age and condition; some were already healing, while others were still worsening, indicating that it had been hunted for quite some time.

It shouldn't be a disguise, Wu You concluded in his mind.

Then, Wu You looked down at the little black cat in his pocket.

Its blue eyes held a questioning and pleading look, and its little paws rested on his fingers, cool and trembling slightly.

Wu You looked at the little black cat, then at the giant tiger covered in blood and severely injured, and finally nodded.

Just after Wu You nodded, both the little black cat and the giant tiger closed their eyes, seemingly communicating in some way.

A moment later, the little black cat opened its eyes and meowed in the direction of the giant tiger.

The calls were somewhat complex, varying in pitch and length, and Wu You didn't quite understand them.

At that moment, the giant tiger's voice rang in Wu You's mind: "Human, please take care of it until it reaches the twelfth rank."

The pain in that voice had been suppressed to a minimum, replaced by a solemn tone.

"If you agree, this is yours in exchange."

Before Wu You could speak, the giant tiger opened its mouth and slowly released a halo of light.

The halo wasn't large, only about the size of a basketball, but the moment it hovered near the giant tiger's mouth, the surrounding air seemed to change.

It wasn't heavy, nor oppressive, but rather a more subtle feeling, as if something had changed the surrounding environment.

Wu You was no stranger to the aura flowing on the halo!

This giant tiger is not a ninth-order illusory form! It is a tenth-order true yang that has fallen from its original realm!

Not only that, when Wu You sensed what was inside the halo, his eyes suddenly narrowed.

If he wasn't mistaken, it was a wisp of divinity!

He had absorbed one of those not long ago, so he could naturally recognize it now.

However, there is one difference: this divinity is milder than that provided by the Thousand-Faced God, like diluted strong liquor. It lacks the intense, aggressive domineering nature and has a gentler, more inclusive aura.

"This is a divine essence extracted from pure faith." After spitting out the halo, the giant tiger became even weaker, and its voice lowered, as if it had used up its last bit of strength. "It has the effect of prolonging life and comprehensively improving the aptitude of your human race."

"If you agree to my request, then this divinity is yours."

Divinity extracted from faith? Is the faith he envisioned? Can faith really extract divinity?

Wu You inexplicably felt that this information was extremely important.

And what does it mean to "take care of it before it reaches the twelfth level"?

The twelfth rank is the Law Control Realm. What the giant tiger means is—this little black cat will definitely reach the Law Control Realm.

Is this little black cat special? Or did something happen that I don't know about when they were interacting?

Wu You unconsciously looked at the little guy in his pocket.

The little black cat was looking up at him, its deep blue eyes reflecting the light of the halo, and its pupils held a strange calmness.

It stopped trembling and just quietly looked at Wu You, as if waiting for his decision.

At that moment, the giant tiger's weak yet anxious voice echoed in his mind once more: "Human, please make a decision as soon as possible."

"They...will catch up soon."
