Chapter 42 The Target of Public Opinion, the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger.
[Evaluation: The Dark Demon Evil God Tiger, with over 60,000 years of cultivation, is a giant black tiger, entirely black, over eight meters long, and weighing over 3,000 jin. Its red eyes are filled with a sinister aura, and the "king" character on its forehead is a somber, misty black. Its long tail stands upright, composed of countless joints, with a huge barb at the tip. It possesses six attributes: evil, space, time, lightning, power, and wind. Its intelligence is extremely high, no less than that of humans. Its growth relies on devouring the soul power of other soul beasts or human soul masters, rather than cultivating itself, making it a target of constant attacks in the soul beast world. A ten-thousand-year-old Dark Demon Evil God Tiger can challenge a hundred-thousand-year-old soul beast, and if it cultivates to its peak, it is very likely to become an evil god. In the novel, it was feared by the Titan Giant Ape and the Azure Bull Python, and it took the combined efforts of Da Ming and Er Ming to drive it away.]
[Note: Slaying it and obtaining its black bead will grant divine inheritance, guaranteeing at least a level one god, the God of Destruction, and potentially reaching the level of one of the five great god-kings, the Evil God-King.]
[Reward: Cultivation increased by 100,000 years]
The repercussions of the news about the sixteenth-ranked Soul Beast have barely subsided, and the words "Dark Demon Evil God Tiger" have become the focus of heated discussion across the continent.
What shocked everyone even more was that Zhu Zhuqing, who was previously ranked third on the Martial Soul Ranking, possessed the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger as her Martial Soul!
"Zhu Zhuqing, ranked third on the Martial Soul Ranking, actually shares the same Martial Soul as this evil tiger?"
"No wonder this Miss Zhu's cultivation ranked third; it turns out her Martial Soul origin is so terrifying!"
"This is interesting. One is a ferocious beast possessing the inheritance of an evil god, and the other is a genius Soul Master with a Martial Soul of the same origin. Could there be some connection between them?"
"Of course there is. That mysterious Senior Li will definitely slay this evil tiger and use it as his disciple's Soul Ring."
"That's right, even though this Evil Tiger has broken through 160,000 years of cultivation, it's still no match for a God King."
Taverns and sect council halls across the continent were buzzing with discussion about this.
Some envied Zhu Zhuqing's talent, while others feared the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger's ferocity.
Some even began to speculate whether Tianxing Academy would take action against the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger because of Zhu Zhuqing.
On the shores of the Life Lake in the Star Dou Great Forest, Gu Yuena listened to the surrounding soul beasts' discussions, a disdainful sneer curling her lips.
"That Zhu Zhuqing? Just a human brat with a low-quality Martial Soul of the same origin."
Her voice was cold, carrying contempt for human soul masters.
"The only true Dark Demon Evil God Tiger worthy of the title 'Evil God Candidate' is this one before us."
With that, she looked towards the Black Forest, a hint of recruitment flashing in her eyes.
"The Dark Demon Evil God Tiger, which grows by devouring, possesses six attributes. If I can harness its power, it will undoubtedly become a great asset in the fight against humanity," she murmured softly, the elemental power around her fluctuating slightly. "As long as it is willing to submit to Star Dou, I can guarantee that no one will dare to touch it within the Star Dou Great Forest."
Upon hearing this, Di Tian frowned slightly and said in a deep voice, "My lord, this Dark Demon Evil God Tiger is cunning and ferocious by nature, and its ambition is immense. I'm afraid it will be difficult to control."
"Control?"
Gu Yuena chuckled, a hint of confidence flashing in her eyes. "What I want is not control, but utilization. As long as I give it enough benefits, it will naturally be used by me."
"Besides, an evil god is not an evil god-king. At most, it's just a first-level god. Even though my strength has not yet recovered, I am already capable of contending with a first-level god. What do I have to fear even if it has great ambitions?"
At the same time, under the pavilion of Tianxing Academy, Li Tianyi looked at the information about the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger on the light screen in the sky, a meaningful smile playing on his lips.
"Dark Demon Evil God Tiger, 160,000 years of cultivation, six attributes, and that evil god inheritance..."
He muttered to himself, a hint of greed flashing in his eyes, "This tiger is quite a good gift."
He turned to look at Zhu Zhuqing, who was cultivating not far away, a satisfied look on his face.
"Zhu Qing's martial soul is the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger. Now that she's a Soul Emperor, she needs a powerful sixth soul ring," he said softly. "This Dark Demon Evil God Tiger directly gained 100,000 years of cultivation, which can serve as Zhu Qing's sixth soul ring, helping her break through to Soul Saint, or even stronger!"
Shui Bing'er, standing to the side, flashed a hint of surprise in her eyes upon hearing this.
"Teacher, this Dark Demon Evil God Tiger possesses the inheritance of an evil god, and its strength is comparable to a 100,000-year-old soul beast. Capturing it will probably not be easy."
"Not easy?"
Li Tianyi chuckled, a faint pressure emanating from his body. "Before my Tianxing Academy, nothing is not easy."
Meanwhile, deep within the Black Forest, the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger was feeling the surging power within its body, its eyes filled with excitement and madness.
"A hundred thousand years of cultivation! I've actually broken through to sixteen thousand years!"
It roared to the sky, black mist surging from its body, the power of six attributes churning wildly within it. "Now, even a four hundred thousand-year-old ferocious beast might not be my match!"
It felt the countless covetous gazes on the continent, a sinister glint flashing in its eyes.
"Want my Black Pearl?"
It sneered, its sharp fangs grinding together.
"Just you wait! Once I completely control this hundred thousand years of power, this continent will be mine!"
The Dark Demon Evil God Tiger was immersed in the ecstasy of its hundred thousand years of cultivation surge.
Suddenly, a clear, cold voice, like moonlight, resounded directly in its mind, carrying an undeniable majesty.
"Dark Demon Evil God Tiger, submit to the Starry Sky, and I will guarantee your safety and help you reach a higher realm."
The Lord of Soul Beasts?
The Dark Demon Evil God Tiger's red pupils suddenly contracted, a hint of fear flashing in its eyes, which then turned into a weighing of options.
It knew full well how terrifying Gu Yuena was; this matriarch of the Star Dou Great Forest possessed strength far surpassing all other soul beasts.
If it could submit to her, it could not only avoid the forces on the continent that coveted the Black Pearl, but also rapidly grow stronger with the resources of Star Dou, bringing it one step closer to the position of Evil God.
"This junior...is willing to submit!"
It lowered its voice, its tone laced with obsequiousness, respectfully bowing its head towards the core area of Star Dou.
As long as it could survive and become stronger, who it submitted to was unimportant to it.
However, as soon as it finished speaking, the sky suddenly darkened!
There was no earth-shattering roar, no world-destroying energy fluctuations, only an invisible pressure, like the heavens above, descending upon the entire Black Forest, instantly enveloping it and even spreading to every corner of the Star Dou Great Forest.
The obsequiousness on the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger's face instantly froze, replaced by extreme fear.
It felt as if an invisible hand had gripped its neck, its soul power instantly freezing, making even breathing incredibly difficult.
It tried to resist, to use its spatial abilities to escape, but no matter how much it struggled, the oppressive force was like a leech, rendering it immobile.
"Who?! Who dares to lay a hand on me?!"
