The Dark Devilgod Tiger's crimson eyes fixed on the cyan carving knife before it, then it gave a slight nod.
"Are you ready? If you are, I'll begin."
Su Yunlin sat down cross-legged and released his second Martial Soul—the Heavenly Evil Sacred Demon Scythe!
This Martial Soul was inherited from his mother, but it was somewhat different from hers. Its evil attribute was far more intense and pure, yet within that evil there was also a trace of sanctity.
A holy kind of evil.
The overall form of his scythe was similar to Xu Yunyue's, but at the junction between the blade and the shaft, there was a tightly shut eye. That eye radiated the most concentrated evil aura.
The Dark Devilgod Tiger leaned closer to examine it.
"Indeed, a dense evil aura. You truly have received the blessing of the divine. I will begin."
It suddenly raised its head and let out a thunderous roar. In the next instant, an overwhelmingly domineering aura erupted from its body. A sacred black light radiated from the center of its brow.
Feeling that immense energy, Xu Yunyue grew even more certain of how extraordinary the Dark Devilgod Tiger was. She immediately increased her Spirit Power output, sealing the area more tightly to suppress any disturbances!
The tiger's body gradually turned translucent. Its method of sacrifice differed from that of ordinary soul beasts—it could not only pass on all its cultivation to Su Yunlin, but also preserve both its soul and body.
Its gaze fell upon the cyan carving knife in Su Yunlin's hand. Using its spiritual power, it lifted the knife and drove it straight into Su Yunlin's forehead!
In that instant, Su Yunlin felt two immense energies raging within his body—one was extremely evil Spirit Power, while the other was an incomparably pure and vast life force.
"Steady your mind. I am helping you open your spiritual sea. The Life Gold will become your 'third eye'!"
The Dark Devilgod Tiger's voice echoed within his consciousness. Su Yunlin could clearly sense its presence—there was no malice, only a hint of excitement.
Soon, the Life Gold carving knife merged into his forehead. His consciousness entered his spiritual sea, which now glowed a vibrant emerald green. The Life Gold transformed into a radiant green "sun," hanging above the spiritual sea!
As the Life Gold fused with his body, the absorption of the Spirit Ring accelerated. Though the Dark Devilgod Tiger was only sixty-five thousand years old, the totality of its cultivation was no less than that of a hundred-thousand-year soul beast!
Its form grew increasingly faint. From its head, a stream of light shot out and merged with Su Yunlin's skull.
It had bestowed upon him a head Spirit Bone!
As the Spirit Bone fused into his body, the tiger's figure became even more indistinct. It looked exhausted, yet its eyes gleamed with excitement.
"Final step!"
From within its body floated a strange bead. The bead appeared pitch-black, yet it shimmered with both cyan and blue light.
That bead also fused into Su Yunlin's body. After completing everything, the Dark Devilgod Tiger's phantom split into two streams of light—one entered Su Yunlin's forehead, the other his body.
Buzz—
A Spirit Ring slowly formed around Su Yunlin.
But this was no ordinary ten-thousand-year black Spirit Ring.
It was black… interwoven with a ring of gold.
A black-gold Spirit Ring!
"Black-gold Spirit Ring? What kind of Spirit Ring is that?" Xu Yunyue stared in shock. She had never seen such a color before.
Moments later,
Su Yunlin slowly opened his eyes. He could feel the changes within himself—his life force was brimming, his body had been elevated to an entirely new level, and his spiritual power had improved most significantly.
"A head Spirit Bone… Evil God Skull. Dark Devilgod Tiger, can you hear me?"
The moment he called out, a small black cat—only a few dozen centimeters long—appeared on his shoulder, lazily licking its paw.
"I'm right here. I told you—my sacrifice is different. My soul resides in your spiritual sea, and my body is imprinted onto yours."
Su Yunlin tilted his head to look at it, then removed his shirt.
On his body was the image of a fierce Dark Devilgod Tiger, like a tattoo.
This… really made him look like some delinquent overlord.
"Tsk, pretty domineering. Makes me look like a street punk. Go on—tell me about the Spirit Abilities and Spirit Bone abilities you gave me."
The small black cat rolled its eyes.
"Those are your abilities now—figure them out yourself. I'm tired. I'm going to sleep. Just know they're all excellent."
With that, it turned into a streak of light and dove back into his forehead.
Su Yunlin sank his consciousness into his spiritual sea and saw the Dark Devilgod Tiger already curled up, fast asleep.
"Son, how do you feel?" Xu Yunyue stepped forward, examining him carefully. She placed a hand on his head and checked with her spiritual power. After confirming there were no issues, she finally relaxed.
Su Yunlin nodded.
"I feel great! Let me check my abilities!"
His abilities:
First Martial Soul — Darknight Sovereign Moth
First Spirit Ability: Wing Blade Guillotine. A sharp black edge forms along the wings, greatly enhancing their cutting power.
Second Spirit Ability: Night Sprint. A speed-enhancing ability. During the day, it doubles speed and increases Spirit Power by 50%. At night, it becomes even stronger—reaching near-teleportation speeds while boosting darkness attributes by 100%.
Third Spirit Ability: Night Demon Orb. A mid-range attack that nullifies all enhancements—whether from Spirit Abilities, support skills, or food-type boosts.
—
The Spirit Ring granted by the Dark Devilgod Tiger belonged to his second Martial Soul—the Heavenly Evil Sacred Demon Scythe.
Because it was a sacrifice, this first Spirit Ring possessed two abilities, and its quality rivaled that of a hundred-thousand-year Spirit Ring. Moreover, the tiger had told him that both the Spirit Ring and Spirit Bone could evolve alongside his cultivation.
In other words, it would eventually become a true hundred-thousand-year Spirit Ring!
First ability: Dark Devilgod Thunder Slash. Usable in both melee and ranged combat, imbued with evil, wind, and lightning attributes. Those struck would have their life force drained.
Second ability: Descent of the Dark Devilgod Tiger! This was absurdly powerful—it allowed him to summon the Dark Devilgod Tiger itself to fight!
The duration depended on his Spirit Power. Currently, it could fight for forty seconds.
The tiger's soul resided in his spiritual sea, while its body existed as a tattoo on him.
This ability essentially allowed him to call in the tiger to fight on his behalf.
Completely overpowered.
Invincible below Super Douluo.
As long as the opponent was under Rank 95, they would be utterly crushed.
—
Spirit Bone — Evil God Skull (Head Bone)
It came with three abilities:
Evil God Protection: A passive ability granting immunity to all negative states—poison, burns, freezing, etc.—and immunity to all non-divine-level spiritual attacks.
A massive boost to survivability.
Evil God Domain: A domain-type ability that suppresses all other domains, seals elemental abilities, and exerts absolute suppression over evil attributes.
Evil God Thorn: A spiritual attack that forms a piercing spike of mental energy, causing severe mental damage and drastically reducing the opponent's lifespan.
Xu Yunyue couldn't help but sigh after hearing everything.
"This is ridiculously overpowered. That Dark Devilgod Tiger is a great… uh, tiger! Son, let's head back."
"Wait, Mom. I still haven't obtained the fourth Spirit Ring for my Darknight Sovereign Moth."
Only then did Xu Yunyue realize—the sacrifice had gone to his second Martial Soul. His first still needed a Spirit Ring.
She placed her hand on his head again, assessing his limits.
"Incredible… your physique and spiritual power are terrifying. You can probably absorb a Spirit Ring of around forty thousand years—anything under fifty thousand should be fine.
"But I suggest going for one just over forty thousand. You have twin Martial Souls—you don't need to push your limits and risk injury."
Su Yunlin smiled.
"I'll listen to you, Mom."
At this moment, he felt completely at ease.
Now, he could boldly pursue the Tang Clan's princess.
Although things were already deviating heavily from what he remembered.
For example—Wang Dong.
Theoretically, she should have no memories right now. But Su Yunlin was certain that the current Wang Dong—Tang Wutong—had not only retained her memories but knew quite a lot.
She even knew who her father was.
She also possessed knowledge about forging and likely much more—though she couldn't speak about certain things, probably restricted by some kind of divine limitation.
After all, as a daughter of the Divine Realm, she still had to follow its rules.
Another discovery—the God of Evil was still around.
And this was clearly the original God of Evil, not Ji Dong. That guy was probably busy being lovey-dovey with Lie Yan.
With the old God of Evil backing him, Tang San wasn't nearly as intimidating anymore. That was an ancient God King who had lived through the Dragon God War—his status even surpassed the former Asura God.
As for strength, the Asura God might be the strongest—but that referred to the original one. Whether Tang San could even beat the God of Destruction now was questionable.
I need to lock that girl down soon. What if Tang San puts some kind of chastity restriction on her later? I'm not ending up like Huo Yuhao. No way.
Not only am I going to take her—I'm going all in. Make Tang San cry. Turn his precious daughter into a little menace. Heh… I can already imagine her saying: "Oi, old man!"
Su Yunlin felt completely carefree now.
After all—
He had backing in the Divine Realm.
Unbeknownst to him, every one of his thoughts was being observed by the God of Goodness and the God of Evil.
Both were on the verge of bursting into laughter.
The God of Goodness tried to compose herself, but failed.
"Hahaha! Evil, this kid is hilarious. 'Messing with the Asura God'—I kind of want to see that."
The God of Evil grinned.
"Same here. This just got a lot more interesting. Good thing I didn't retire—otherwise I would've missed such an entertaining show."
