My Celestial Ascension

"Did that get him?" Lily muttered, wondering whether the tiger had been defeated, and waited for the dust to settle.

Yuan waved his palm lightly again, causing a strong gust of wind to clear the dust away. After the dust cleared, they could see the tiger still standing on its feet.

The surrounding region has enormous fissures in the earth with multiple scorched imprints, and the tiger appears to have been unhurt by the explosion, even though it was powerful enough to easily destroy a structure.

"T-this is impossible!"

"How can it still stand after facing such a powerful attack head-on?" Leah exclaimed with a look of shock on her face, unable to believe it.

"Roarrr!" The tiger growled at Yuan, staring at him with a hungry expression, as if he were looking at his victim, intending to tear his limbs apart.

"But how?!" Ava whispered with a worried expression on her face as she saw the tiger emerge uninjured from the dust.

Anna Grace chuckled as she noticed the bewildered and worrisome expressions on her two daughters-in-law's faces and said, "A Flame Tiger has a very high resistance to fire-based attacks, so flames are useless against a Flame Tiger." "Furthermore, Darling reversed the tiger's attack, thus it had no impact on the tiger even though the flames' intensity had increased significantly."

"I understand now... No surprise such tremendous attacks fail against the tiger." Leah whispered, barely audible.

"Roared!" the tiger roared, causing the air to quiver and creating a strong shockwave.

Seeing this, Xi Meili put her palm into the air, forming a Qi barrier around them to protect them from the shockwave.

Especially for Leah, who hadn't yet become a cultivator, and because her body was so fragile and weak, such a tremendous shockwave may harm her internal organs.

Bang! The shockwave met with the Qi barrier, spreading ripples through the air, and the barrier effectively protected everyone inside.

Seeing this, the tiger opened its mount and launched numerous large fireballs into the sky, and as the beast poured its mana, the size of the fireball expanded severely.

When Yuan sees this situation, he immediately becomes alarmed; even if such an attack is pointless against his wives, he is concerned about their safety.

"No, you won't!" Before the tiger could attack his wives, Yuan vanished from his position and appeared in front of the tiger in the blink of an eye.

Yuan delivered a tremendous strike to the tiger's enormous face, catching it by surprise and unable to evade the impending heavy attack in time.

Bam! Yuan's blow hit perfectly on the tiger's face, sending it flying into the distance and colliding with the gigantic Dark Iron Tree behind it.

The contact was so forceful that it uprooted the tree from the ground; he roared in anguish, rolling on the ground due to the terrible pain he was experiencing.

However, Yuan did not stop there; he immediately closed the distance upon seeing the tiger rising up and unleashed heavy strikes at it continuously, not allowing the tiger to breathe properly.

Bang, Bang!

Yuan assaulted the tiger continuously, and the tiger could do nothing to stop the attacks from reaching him; he was powerless against Yuan, and all of his strength gradually faded, leaving him fatigued and feeble.

"This is wonderful! Yuan is completely overwhelming the tiger; this is really amazing!" Leah was taken aback by Yuan's ability to quickly defeat the Flame Tiger.

"Impressive as always... The tiger appears helpless against our husband." Emma smiled proudly as she said, and the others nodded in agreement.

However, Anna Grace was watching the tiger as it was being battered by Yuan and thought, 'I have to tell him not to kill the tiger in the heat of the fight, or we will lose our chance to earn a few additional gold coins.'

"Darling, try not to kill him or we'll lose a chance to earn a few extra gold coins!" Anna Grace shouted at Yuan, reminding him of the additional reward for bringing the tiger back to the Hunter Association alive.

Yuan immediately halted his continuous attacks on the tiger and stared at his mother with a peculiar expression.

"Sorry about that, I was so excited to beat this kitty that I forgot about that…hehe!" He chuckled, seeing the tiger's current state.

The tiger was so fatigued from being cruelly beaten by Yuan that he couldn't open his lips, let alone move his limbs and attack Yuan.

"Alright. Stop wasting time and rope the tiger before it can regain its mana and strength." Anna Grace shouted.

"Understood, My Queen," Yuan remarked teasingly before pulling out a long, thick rope from his system storage.

'Am I his "Queen"? Well, I'm his mother, after all, and I deserve such a place in his heart.' Anna Grace pondered and grinned cheerfully.

Yuan then smiled at the tiger, causing the tiger to shudder in terror. The tiger had a strong desire to flee from Yuan's sight as far as possible; nevertheless, he was not in the condition to flee at this time.

Yuan took advantage of this opportunity to tie the tiger with his rope, which he had discovered in the ancient treasury and had been waiting to use.

«Immortal Binding Rope»

«Rank: Divine»

«Quality: Peak»

«Description: A rope made from a very unique and rare metal. The rope has the ability to even bind the Immortals.»

The tiger has no way out of his binding because even an Immortal can't escape from the 'Immortal Binding Rope', let alone a Flame Tiger, cannot escape the tying of this rope.

"Garrrr!" The tiger strained all of his last might to break free from the rope; unfortunately, the rope refused to let him go, binding his body even tighter.

"That's the immortal binding rope; a weak kitty like you can't break free," Yuan replied with a tiny chuckle.

His wife reached him, and Leah and Ava breathed a sigh of relief after ensuring that Yuan was not injured when capturing the tiger.

Leah glanced at the tiger with interest, particularly at the rope that was restraining him and preventing him from moving even a muscle.

'What kind of rope did my beloved use to bind the Flame Tiger? It appears intriguing and powerful at the same time, and how does the rope bind the tiger alone? Shouldn't it have been impossible?' As Leah glanced at the rope that was restraining the tiger, a number of questions came to mind.

Anna Grace takes a brief glimpse at the tiger, then locks her gaze on Yuan and says, "Darling, since you defeated and captured the tiger successfully, how are we supposed to bring this thing back to the Hunter Association with us?"

"It's too big for it to fit inside the carriage, and I don't think we can make him walk all the way to the city." She stated that, given the tiger's immense size, it would not fit inside the carriage.

"I had the same thought. This object is too large to fit into our carriage." Emma nodded, marveling at the Flame Tiger, who was more than six feet tall.

The tiger is not only enormous, but it also weighs about 400 kilograms, and their carriage cannot carry much weight, even if they manage to put the tiger inside somehow.

"So Yuan, do you have any idea how we can take this thing back to the city without killing him?" Rose inquired because she was unable to find a solution to the situation; the task of transporting the tiger back to the city appeared difficult to her.

Yuan paused for a time before responding, "Well, since we can't bring this thing back to the city with us via carriage, we can only carry him back."

"Carry him?! That is impossible! This creature weighs about 400 kilograms; you cannot take him back to the city on your own." Leah almost couldn't believe what she was hearing; she'd never heard somebody bear that much weight before, and it seemed impossible.

Not to mention that Yuan had to carry this item all day to get to the city.

Yuan approached her and grabbed her face, then kissed her on the forehead. "This much weight is nothing to me; as cultivators, our physical strength is extremely strong, and I can carry tens of them back to the city without tiring," Yuan remarked, whispering into her ears, causing her cheeks to flush.

"Alright, I understand." She simply nodded; she couldn't forget the kiss they shared the other day.

Yuan then approached the tiger and raised his palm into the air, at which point the Empyreal Oblivion materialized from thin air.

When the tiger saw the sword in Yuan's hand, he became afraid, as if Yuan was about to murder him with that big sword, which emitted a mysterious yet frightening aura.

Yuan then hurled the sword into the air, where it levitated defying gravity, which startled Leah because she was witnessing this for the first time in her life.

She studied the blade closely, wondering how it was levitating in the air.

Yuan then approached the tiger and lifted it high into the air before jumping on the sword. As soon as he was on the sword, he flew into the sky and captured the tiger with one hand.

"H-He…He's flying! I can't believe he's flying. This is amazing!" Leah exclaimed, astonished, as if she were seeing things.

"Unbelievable…I couldn't believe Yuan could soar like a bird..." Leah mumbled in a confused voice, gazing at Yuan's image in the sky with admiration in her eyes.

Anna Grace giggled as she saw Leah's surprised expression and continued, "Well, not just Yuan, but we can also fly into the sky except for Rose, Julie, and Ava because they haven't reached the required cultivation yet."

"Let's follow his lead and get out of this creepy forest as fast as possible." She said.

"Agreed!" The girls exclaimed and followed Yuan's figure as he approached their carriage on his flying sword, which was parked outside the forest.
