"Hoo~" Time seemed to have frozen at this moment. The towering Tower of Heaven, an unparalleled ancient artifact capable of obliterating even Ancient Great Gods, unexpectedly shattered into pieces.
It wasn't the Black Tiger, who had charged forward in a desperate attempt to save its master, that caused it to collapse. Instead, just as the Black Tiger's head was about to collide with the body of the tower, the tower disintegrated on its own, and a hand suddenly extended from within the ruins to block the Black Tiger's forehead, sparing it from even the slightest harm.
The fragments of the Tower of Heaven scattered and filled the air, and as silence fell over the square, where even the crows didn't dare caw, everyone was left agape in shock, while that hand gently patted the Black Tiger's forehead three times!
