"Can you turn into a human?"
"No, I can't turn into a human." The black tiger answered Ling Yun's question as he shook his head.
Ling Yun then jumped down from the black tiger's head. "What if you become my contract beast? Having defended this location for an extended period of time, you must be extremely lonely, right? Moreover, your cultivation is at the Emperor God Realm, so you can help me fight against my enemies, and I can also help you become even stronger."
"Aren't you going to give him to one of your wives?" Zhou Yu asked him.
Ling Yun turned to her as he pointed at the black tiger. "This beast is a male, so I don't want him to make a contract with one of them. Besides, I don't really have contract beasts, especially since Ruxue and Helena don't always stay by my side, so I want him to be my contract beast."
'This guy is truly possessive! He doesn't even allow a male beast to be by his wives' side.' Tian Yueling inwardly muttered.
Lang Zhi also had the same thoughts as her, but they realized that Ling Yun was like that because of the influence of his dragon bloodline, and a dragon is indeed a possessive creature.
Zhou Yu nodded in understanding. "In that case, you can contract this tiger, and we will go straight underground."
"Are you willing to become my contract beast?" Seeing the black tiger hesitate, Ling Yun took out several pills and showed them to him. "They are useful for improving your talent, tempering your body, and also helping you advance to a higher level. If you are willing to become my contract beast, I will give them to you, and I will give you some better pills in the future."
The black tiger looked tempted after he heard Ling Yun's words, but he still felt doubtful that the three pills had such a powerful effect. "Can I try those pills first? Moreover, you can suppress me with your bloodline, and that spirit woman is also much stronger than me, so I won't be able to do anything to you."
"Open your mouth." Ling Yun threw the three pills into the black tiger's mouth after he opened it, and he swallowed them all at once.
Minutes later, the black tiger's expression changed with joy after he felt the effects of the three pills, and his body shrank quickly to the size of a normal tiger. "I am willing to form a contract with you, Master."
"That's good." Ling Yun pressed his palm against the black tiger's forehead and activated the soul contract technique. The beast soon had a black dragon tattoo on his head and a black tiger tattoo on his forehead, signifying the establishment of a contract between them. "How do I open the door to the underground?"
"Wait a minute, Master." The black tiger then walked towards a rock on the other side and pressed it, and the door leading to the underground instantly opened.
Lang Zhi immediately covered her nose. "Ugh! Mo Chen, the smell of blood from below is very strong, and it is not only the blood of beasts, but it is also mixed with the blood of many humans."
"Human blood, huh?" Ling Yun muttered as he looked down with heavenly eyes. "The abyss black tiger sure is vicious, huh? The blood of the humans in the pool must be the blood of the inhabitants of this realm."
"The abyss black tiger race is indeed vicious." Zhou Yu said to him. "That guy even frightened people in the supreme realm, especially since he was too powerful with his demon god body, and not many people dared to challenge him."
"What about that fern dragon? He has the dragon god body, so he should be as strong as the abyss black tiger, right?"
Zhou Yu nodded to Ling Yun. "That guy is just as powerful as the abyss black tiger, but his nature is much calmer and not vicious. However, he doesn't like gathering with other cultivators, and he prefers to spend his time in solitude. Even so, he will move if people attack his kin, and he will not hesitate to slaughter them."
"I see." Ling Yun nodded in understanding. "I would like to meet that fern dragon in the future, and he might be worthy of being my ally."
"Hehe." Zhou Yu chuckled when she heard that, especially since Ling Yun was acting more and more like a true dragon, and she was confident that he could subdue the fern dragon. "Let's go down."
"Master, please give me a name."
"Oh! I forgot about that." Ling Yun then thought about it and looked for a suitable name for his new beast contract. "From now on, your name is Hu Yuan."
"Thank you, Master." Ling Yun immediately led the three women downstairs, and Hu Yuan followed behind them.
However, a black silhouette suddenly appeared at that place, and there were two bloodshot eyes appearing from it.
'I never thought that someone would manage to find this place, and he has such a powerful dragon bloodline. However, I don't know what kind of dragon his bloodline is; it seems to be much stronger than that guy's, or else he wouldn't be able to subdue my pet. Hehe. I hope he can reach our level as soon as possible, so we can meet in the supreme realm, and I will challenge him to a fight in the future.' After saying that, the black silhouette immediately disappeared again.

Sometime later, they were already quite deep underground, but there was nothing there except a pool of blood that wasn't too big, and the blood inside was foaming like boiling water.
"Hmm?" Ling Yun squatted by the side of the pool as he dipped his finger into the blood. "How many humans and beasts did the dark abyss tiger sacrifice to create this blood pool? Even though there is only blood in this pool, it also contains extraordinary power, and it belongs to the owners of this blood."
Tian Yuling was also squatting at the side of the pool as she covered her nose, but she didn't dare dip her finger in it. "We don't know for sure how many people lived in this realm in the past, but Ren Shou said that his ancestors slaughtered almost all of them, so I think the dark abyss tiger must have used millions or billions of humans to create this pool."
Lang Zhi's expression looked pale after hearing that, as she did not expect that their ancestors were so vicious, and he even sacrificed countless humans to increase his strength. However, she was also aware that members of countless demi-human races had died under human slavery, especially since their slavery lasted not only for years or decades, but it lasted for hundreds of years before the two ancestors were born.
Zhou Yu then said to Ling Yun. "You can release your devil soul because we don't have much time, so it can absorb the remaining power in this blood pool. Besides, you can also soak in it, and the blood in it can help you to temper your body even more, especially since you have fused with the old dragon's skeleton."
Soon, Ling Yun's devil soul came out of his body, and it circled excitedly above the blood poll before starting to absorb the power remaining within it, but Lang Zhi took several steps back, as she was frightened by its evil aura.
'His devil soul has already passed its adolescent stage, and it has entered adulthood now, but the evil aura emanating from it has also become increasingly terrifying.' Even Tian Yueling, who had seen it when they were purifying the dead village, felt quite afraid of it. "Hey, Big Sis Yu, are you sure it's okay if his devil soul grows too fast? As far as I remember, his other souls are still in the child stage, and his lightning soul is in the adolescent stage after it absorbs the lightning from his lightning tribulations."
"You're right about that, but I think it won't be a problem, especially since he can control his devil soul, so it won't mess with his other souls." Zhou Yu then turned to the two women. "Anyway, will you two wait here?"
"No! I'll go back to the surface and wait there." After saying that, Lang Zhi immediately ran towards the surface, as he did not want to see Ling Yun naked.
Unlike her, Tian Yueling decided to stay. "He is my future husband, so it doesn't matter if I see him naked now or later."
When Ling Yun heard that, he smiled and immediately stripped off all his clothes. However, Tian Yueling turned her face away as soon as she saw his dick, prompting him to enter the blood poll and sit in the center. "Zhou Yu, I think you can leave us here, and you should protect the others."
"I know." Zhou Yu then created a void door. "Even so, I will often come here to check on your condition, just in case something goes wrong with you."
"All right." After Zhou Yu disappeared, Ling Yun immediately closed his eyes and absorbed the power remaining within the blood pool, and Tian Yueling waited for him by the side while continuing to pay attention to him.
