Chapter 1007 Little Silver's peril
A moment later, Liu Mei came out of the room and glanced at the far east of the mortal sea, where a large black thundercloud had already started to shrink.
Although her soul sense couldn't reach that far and observe the situation at the heart of the thundercloud, she knew that this was the 'Heavenly Tribulation' Little Silver was undergoing.
Of course, it wasn't just Liu Mei's soul sense that couldn't reach the heart of the black thundercloud, but even Shun Long's. Despite his spiritual strength rivaling an early-stage Sovereign's right now, the distance between him and Little Silver right now was so vast, that if it wasn't for their mental link, even he wouldn't know what the black panther's current situation was.
At this point however, Shun Long could tell that Little Silver's situation was anything but good. The black panther was severely injured and Shun Long could even feel its lifeforce slowly seeping away.
Without any hesitation, he then slashed the air in front of him opening a space rift, as he and Liu Mei both disappeared from the Shun estate!
A moment later, Shun Long had already arrived at the heart of the thunderstorm, looking around him with a solemn look. Although the power of the 'Heavenly Tribulation' had already faded and the black thunderstorm was gradually dispersing, a few residual sparks of lightning still lingered on the water's surface below him, showing the intense battle that had just taken place here!
Using their mental link Shun Long could still sense Little Silver's location as he turned his gaze towards the depths of the water a few hundred meters below him. Then, his figure turned into a blur as he dove deep into the scorching hot sea that had been warmed up by the lightning bolts of the 'Heavenly Tribulation', before finally spotting the drowning Little Silver.
Looking at the injuries on Little Silver's body Shun Long's eyes narrowed momentarily, before he grabbed the black panther's unconscious body and pulled it out of the sea.
At this moment, he could tell that Little Silver's condition was even worse than he originally anticipated.
Its bright silver wings that were previously brimming with power were now dim and lusterless, while its soft black fur was now riddled with grisly charred marks and numerous ugly wounds.
However, Shun Long could tell that the worst injury the black panther had received this time was, without a doubt, in its soul. Little Silver's soul was now extremely frail and on the verge of collapse, while the walls around its spiritual space were only moments away from crumbling.
Even Liu Mei who didn't share a mental connection with the black panther could tell that its life was now only hanging by a thread. With a worried expression on her face, she then muttered in a low voice
''Little Silver...''
Without any hesitation, Shun Long opened another space rift, as he took Liu Mei and Little Silver back to the Shun estate before he placed the black panther on the ground outside his room.
Waving his hand, he then took out a bottle filled with dozens of green-colored pills and began popping them in the black panther's mouth one by one.
And yet, regardless of how many top-grade 'Clear jade evergreen pills' Little Silver consumed, its condition didn't seem to improve at all. Its countenance was still pale and its eyes were still closed and trembling, while its spiritual space had yet to mend the damage it had received from the 'Heavenly Tribulation'. Luckily, however, the situation didn't get any worse either and seemed to have gradually stabilized.
Shaking his head, Shun Long poked the black panther on its chest 4 times, before he muttered in a low voice
''You broke through to the early rank 7 but you almost lost your life this time. It seems you've finally reached your limit, old friend.''
Little Silver had its eyes closed the whole time, but almost as if hearing its master's voice, it opened its yellow eyes and glanced at Shun Long before sticking out its tongue and licking the hand that had just fed it the emerald pills.
Patting the black panther's head, Shun Long had a hesitant look for the first time in a while as he realized the situation Little Silver was in.
''An early rank 7 magic beast...'' Normally, a magic beast of this level could rival or even trump an early-stage Dao Emperor in a fight, and could easily roam around the northern region of the continent unopposed. However, Shun Long knew that in the context of the entire central continent, such a cultivation base was merely above average.
After all, middle and even late-stage Dao Emperors were a dime aplenty in that place, and even Sovereign realm experts wouldn't be that rare to encounter in the core regions of the continent.
Of course, even against middle-stage Dao Emperors Little Silver would still have a good chance to escape even if it couldn't win the fight, but if it was pitted against any late-stage Dao Emperors... its fate would be pretty much guaranteed!
Inside the foggy space in the 'Stone of Time', Little Black's azure eyes flashed with a profound light, before the black dragon shook his head and said in a low voice
''Master... I think it's time to let that child go.'' It was just a single sentence but Shun Long still felt a tinge of pain in his heart when he heard it. After all, Little Silver had been by his side ever since he and Liu Mei had left the Desolate East and arrived in the 'Night star continent'.
From the journey to the City of Sin, to Heaven's Dome city, and finally the Holy sect! The black panther had spent more than a dozen years next to Shun Long, from when it was a child until it became an adult, accompanying him every step of the way.
However, as much as it pained Shun Long to admit it, he knew that Little Silver had finally reached its cultivation's limits.
