The Dark Demon Evil God Tiger, kicked down by Xu Zihuang with a single foot, smashed into the ground, creating a massive crater over fifty meters in diameter.
All the Blue Silver Grass within the crater turned to ashes under the ravaging purple-golden thunder. The terrifying, explosive power of the thunder continued to invade the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger's body relentlessly from every direction.
Behind Xu Zihuang, his black-purple dragon wings flapped as he indifferently watched the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger at the center of the crater.
Although he had just used the special combat technique Dragon Thunder Burst, passed down from the Heavenly Dragon Gate, he knew very well that these alone could not inflict much damage on that Dark Demon Evil God Tiger.
The facts proved exactly that. Gray-black airflow overflowed from the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger's body, causing the purple-golden thunder light coiling around it to visibly diminish at a speed noticeable to the naked eye. This was precisely the ability of its supreme evil power.
"Roar—" The Dark Demon Evil God Tiger raised its massive head and let out a low, furious roar. It appeared to have been enraged by Xu Zihuang. However, its blood-colored eyes clearly showed scrutiny and wariness.
It sensed not only a threat from Xu Zihuang but also instinctively felt fear toward the aura of Ye Guyi's Sacred Angel Martial Soul.
Angels were supreme beings worshipped by all in the ancient church. This was not only because of the inherent power of the Angel Martial Soul but also because, under the leadership of the first-generation Angel God, the church had purified many soul beasts with evil bloodlines across the continent, allowing humanity to live and multiply in peace.
Among those soul beasts with evil bloodlines, the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger was the most powerful race and the church's primary target for extermination. The enmity between the two sides was etched into their bloodlines.
The Dark Demon Evil God Tiger tentatively extended its right claw and suddenly slammed it into the ground. A streak of black light shot straight toward Xu Zihuang in the air in a diagonal line. Wherever the black light passed, even the lush Blue Silver Grass at a distance withered, forming a huge pathway.
Xu Zihuang let out a disdainful cold snort. The Annihilation God Spear in his hand swept horizontally, instantly disintegrating and dissolving the black light soul skill fused with wind, thunder, and evil attributes from the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger.
Seeing this, the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger's pupils suddenly contracted. Its gaze swept once more across Xu Zihuang, Ye Guyi, and the Holy Unicorn.
In the next instant, the space around it fluctuated violently, and fierce winds howled. The Dark Demon Evil God Tiger actually vanished from Xu Zihuang's line of sight just like that.
After the earlier probe, the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger had already judged how troublesome Xu Zihuang and Ye Guyi were. Even if it was unwilling, it could not change the situation.
With intelligence fully comparable to humans, it decisively chose to retreat at this moment. Back then, it had endured a thousand years just to devour the Emperor Auspicious Beast Three-Eyed Golden Lion; patience was something it never lacked.
However, it deeply etched Xu Zihuang, who had ruined its plans, into its heart, a venomous glint flashing through its eyes that sent chills down one's spine.
The Dark Demon Evil God Tiger had simultaneously used wind and spatial attributes, something that would likely cause even an ordinary Title Douluo to lose track of it. But Xu Zihuang's powerful mental strength and the innate ability of his Golden Pupil Martial Soul made the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger's tricks ineffective against him.
Yet the one who struck first was Ye Guyi.
Under the intense golden light, her eyes seemed to burn with golden flames. A massive, indistinct phantom hovered behind her delicate figure; that golden light shadow also had three pairs of wings behind it, clearly the form of a six-winged angel.
Above the seven soul rings around Ye Guyi, two yellow, two purple, two black, and one red, all were covered in a layer of golden luster.
Bathed in sacred golden light, her blood-red seventh soul ring burst forth with a bewitching, eerie red radiance. The two colors merged together, but soon the blood-red seventh soul ring was completely assimilated into gold as it was being released.
Golden light shone brilliantly. The six-winged angel phantom behind Ye Guyi quietly leaned forward and merged with her body. Her entire skin, even every pore, was dyed pure gold.
The clothes on her body melted away in that pure gold, and brilliant golden flames wrapped around her delicate frame. With a ripping sound, the three pairs of angel wings behind her fully unfurled. Compared to before, the pristine white angel wings now flowed with dazzling golden light.
At this moment, Ye Guyi was like a true angel descended to the mortal world. Holy and proud.
In the state of Martial Soul True Body, her aura surged like an overwhelming tide. The sacred light enveloped a radius of over a thousand meters, forcibly compelling the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger to reveal itself.
The amplification effect of Martial Soul True Body was directly proportional to the quality of the Martial Soul. The higher the Martial Soul quality, the greater the amplification from releasing Martial Soul True Body. Only a Martial Soul True Body could truly display the full power of a Martial Soul.
For many Soul Masters, after reaching the Soul Saint realm, the gap between them would be completely widened.
Ye Guyi's Sacred Angel Martial Soul was undoubtedly one of the most powerful super Martial Souls in the current era. After releasing Angel True Body, her frontal combat power already surpassed Title Douluo and approached Super Douluo.
"Angel Domain."
A melodious and pleasant light chant came from Ye Guyi's mouth, without any emotional fluctuation, as if it were a divine oracle from the Angel God.
She raised both hands high, and the golden-white Angel Holy Sword instantly condensed into form. In an instant, brilliant golden light exploded from her body, making this space, already shrouded in sacred light, even more dazzling.
Since breaking through to Soul Saint and growing the third pair of angel wings, Ye Guyi had mastered this Angel Domain. But this was the first time she had used it.
The Dark Demon Evil God Tiger within the Angel Domain felt as if it were under powerful pressure from all directions. It hurriedly unleashed its own domain ability.
In this golden space, the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger's domain looked like an eerie black sun, rapidly rushing toward the edge of the Angel Domain.
Unlike the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger's unease and resistance, what the Holy Unicorn felt was only extreme warmth and comfort. Its own Sacred Radiance Light unconsciously resonated and communicated with the Angel Domain.
"Six-Winged Angel."
The Holy Unicorn gazed up at Ye Guyi in Martial Soul True Body state, its eyes momentarily dazed.
Tens of thousands of years ago, it had accidentally crossed through a spatial rift to arrive on the Douluo plane and had spent a very long time in extreme weakness.
Because in its original plane, the cultivation system was completely different from the Douluo plane. The spiritual power it had cultivated before had to be converted into soul power on the Douluo side.
Although it could no longer use many of its previous powerful abilities during this process, it ultimately adapted to the soul power system of the Douluo plane.
And all of this had been accomplished with the help of the first-generation Angel God. To repay the first-generation Angel God's kindness, it later chose to follow her.
"Are you also her direct descendant?" A humanized sigh emerged in the Holy Unicorn's eyes. Recalling that encounter from ten thousand years ago, it seemed to have some guesses and shifted its gaze toward Xu Zihuang.
At the same time, Xu Zihuang had fully erupted.
Strange dark red ripples spread outward. Just as the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger was about to escape Ye Guyi's Angel Domain, dark red crystals instantly enveloped its body.
"Break."
Xu Zihuang murmured.
The ten-thousand-year level Mirror of Annihilation was fiercely unleashed.
Following closely behind was the golden time-distortion light hidden within Ye Guyi's Angel Domain, causing the already passive Dark Demon Evil God Tiger to fall even further behind.
If this were a one-on-one frontal battle, the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger, which possessed the time attribute itself, would surely have detected Xu Zihuang's Time Disorder soul skill in advance.
But now, within Ye Guyi's Angel Domain, its perception was limited to a five-meter radius. Blocking perception—this was one of the effects of the Angel Domain.
"Ang—"
A pitch-black giant dragon coiled upward. The dragon's body exceeded a hundred meters in length. The moment it appeared, all the moonlight in the night sky seemed to be devoured. This was not a darkness-attribute ability but rather the annihilation power, reducing surrounding light to nothingness.
The dominance of the annihilation attribute lay in completely erasing anything it touched from the world, whether material objects or energy forms.
This was also the true form after Xu Zihuang's second Martial Soul, Purple Radiance Thunder Prison Dragon, perfectly fused its two attributes with his bloodline power.
The massive black dragon head exuded an overbearing aura that looked down upon all beings.
Xu Zihuang stood atop the dragon's head, holding the Annihilation God Spear in a forward-thrusting posture.
With his body as the center, a black ring one hundred meters in diameter instantly appeared. Miniature black dragons emerged within this ring, clustering around Xu Zihuang.
"Ang—" The black dragon beneath Xu Zihuang's feet raised its head once more and let out an impassioned dragon roar. The miniature black dragons instantly crisscrossed within the ring. Terrifying annihilation power filled this entire space.
A black light pillar resembling an apocalyptic beam tore through the night sky, horizontally engulfing the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger's body.
The black dragon Xu Zihuang stood on soared within the light pillar and, in the next instant, appeared before the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger, opening its ferocious maw to swallow it whole.
The impassioned dragon roar lasted a full three seconds before the black dragon, together with the black light pillar, gradually dimmed. Xu Zihuang stood at the center of the black dragon phantom, still maintaining the forward-thrust posture of the Annihilation God Spear. At this moment, his entire body was covered in black dragon scales like armor, his long black hair fluttering, his expression blank.
Behind him, the massive Dark Demon Evil God Tiger overflowed with strands of black light from its body. This was the black of annihilation attribute, similar in color to the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger's own body, but instantly distinguishable.
The Dark Demon Evil God Tiger glared venomously at Xu Zihuang's back. Then the layer of gray light shield clinging to its body shattered with a boom, and it powerlessly fell downward.
One detail was that its originally black Evil God Hook had turned transparent. Both Xu Zihuang and Ye Guyi keenly noticed this.
Using Mirror of Annihilation and Time Disorder for control, Dragon Emperor Evil-Breaking Rend and Dragon Emperor Shock Domain Annihilation for offense, even achieving what even Mu Lao had never accomplished: fusing Dragon Emperor Evil-Breaking Rend and Dragon Emperor Shock Domain simultaneously.
Four consecutive ten-thousand-year soul skills erupting were enough to threaten Super Douluo-level powerhouses. Not to mention that this time Xu Zihuang had used the overwhelmingly dominant annihilation attribute for Dragon Emperor Evil-Breaking Rend and Dragon Emperor Shock Domain.
Even this Dark Demon Evil God Tiger, approaching seventy-thousand-year cultivation, would surely suffer heavy injuries after taking this attack head-on.
By comparison, it was not hard to see that Xu Zihuang, with merely peak Soul Saint cultivation, surpassed Tang San of the Title Douluo era in combat power. Back then, Tang San had been forced into a sorry state by a Dark Demon Evil God Tiger of only sixty-thousand-year cultivation.
Perhaps there were reasons of the era and a certain degree of assistance from Ye Guyi, but more than that, it was the difference in innate talent.
Both possessing twin Martial Souls, at comparable cultivation levels, Xu Zihuang utterly crushed Tang San with no suspense. And this crushing advantage would remain in the future as well.
Xu Zihuang exchanged a glance with Ye Guyi in the distance, communicating with their eyes. Just then, a bone-chilling cold struck from behind him.
The Dark Demon Evil God Tiger had somehow appeared behind Xu Zihuang. Its eyes suddenly shifted from blood-red to deep blue. The previous fatigue vanished completely, and the gray airflow on its body turned entirely black. It's Evil God Hook, which had become transparent, reverted to black, but its shape had changed: the curved hook straightened into a long spike thrusting toward Xu Zihuang's back.
Although this was all part of their plan, when Ye Guyi saw Xu Zihuang being ambushed by the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger, she still could not help but change her expression slightly.
The Holy Unicorn, snapping out of the shock from Xu Zihuang's earlier display, hurriedly called out a warning: "Be careful!"
The female voice from the Holy Unicorn was not particularly clear and melodious, but carried a neutral magnetism, containing a special effect that could jolt one's spirit awake.
Xu Zihuang calmly turned around. The first thing he saw was the greedy and frenzied look in the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger's eyes.
The Evil God Spike, transformed from the Evil God Hook, did not pierce his body but halted right at the midpoint between them.
Intense black light suddenly erupted from the tip of the Evil God Spike, turning into a huge black hole three meters in diameter.
For the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger to scheme against Xu Zihuang even in such a disadvantaged situation was truly not easy. But it had completely failed to realize that this scheme had been deliberately guided by Xu Zihuang.
Two golden-silver tentacles hidden in the void flashed past. The Dark Demon Evil God Tiger, which had just regained its vigor, was struck by the Soul Touch and immediately let out a miserable scream. The black light layer protecting its body shattered with a bang.
Panic instantly filled the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger's eyes.
The expanding three-meter black hole exerted an immense suction force, drawing both Xu Zihuang and the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger inside. Everything around seemed to plunge into darkness; Xu Zihuang only felt his body floating weightlessly, completely without resistance.
But soon after, light returned, and the sensation of solid ground came back. No further abnormalities remained.
He was now standing in a massive arena. The arena appeared circular but stretched endlessly. The sky held no sun, moon, or stars, only boundless darkness. The light came from the arena itself.
"Deathmatch Arena."
Xu Zihuang smiled faintly. Possessing divine imprints of the God of Time and the God of Space, any time-space skill below the godly level was ineffective against him. This was his confidence.
Looking up, he also saw his opponent in the arena.
The Dark Demon Evil God Tiger stood thirty meters ahead of Xu Zihuang, staring at him. But its tiger eyes were now filled with rage and exasperation, constantly roaring; no trace remained of its previous calm.
Originally, the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger's true body was over eight meters long and extremely majestic. Its wings behind it could blot out the sky. But now, not only had its wings disappeared, but even its tail had become an ordinary tiger tail, and the Evil God Hook at the end was pitifully small. Its body had shrunk far too much, now less than one and a half meters long.
It actually looked quite cute, more like a large black cat.
Xu Zihuang extended his right hand. Space twisted, and he had already grasped the soft scruff of the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger's neck.
"Wuu wuu wuu—"
The Dark Demon Evil God Tiger was first stunned, then struggled frantically, its four legs kicking wildly, where was any trace of its earlier domineering ferocity?
But in this form, its resistance against Xu Zihuang was utterly futile.
Xu Zihuang lifted the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger high with his right hand, his deep eyes carrying a playful smile.
"Become my servant, and I might consider letting you continue living in another form."
