Chapter 137: "Helicopter" Mahoraga, Evil God Bead
Not only the Dark Demonic Evil God Tiger, but even Lin Xuan could not help but show a look of astonishment after Mahoraga appeared.
Mahoraga's already massive size suddenly expanded several times over, turning into the giant form it had adapted to in order to counter Xuan Zi's Martial Soul True Body.
In other words, the Time Retrogression effect of the Dark Demonic Evil God Tiger's Life and Death Arena also worked on Mahoraga.
If time dragged on long enough, Mahoraga, which had already adapted to countless forms of attack, would be rewound to its initial blank state.
At that time, it was not impossible for the Dark Demonic Evil God Tiger to defeat Mahoraga.
However, all of this was within Lin Xuan's expectations, so that was not what astonished him.
What truly left him dumbfounded was the adaptation Dharma Wheel atop Mahoraga's head.
That adaptation Dharma Wheel, which originally rotated extremely slowly, like the hands of an old-fashioned clock, was now... spinning once per second!
And as time passed, the rotation speed grew faster and faster, gradually trailing afterimages, and finally, like a helicopter's rotor, it emitted a low hum above its head.
Lin Xuan was completely stunned. This... this wasn't right? He couldn't even use his Third Spirit Ability, so there was no way to increase the speed at which Mahoraga adapted to attacks. Besides, even if he could use it, it shouldn't have such a heaven-defying speed, right?
Like Lin Xuan, the Dark Demonic Evil God Tiger was also dumbfounded by Mahoraga's sudden change. It froze in place, eyes wide, bloody maw slightly agape, even forgetting to breathe.
A moment later, Lin Xuan was the first to snap back to his senses. He narrowed his eyes and silently gave an order in his mind, pausing Mahoraga's attack.
Mahoraga's advancing steps stopped at the command. It just stood there in the center of the arena, the Dharma Wheel on its head spinning frantically, emitting an increasingly urgent hum.
At the same time, its body began to undergo changes.
It fluctuated in size, and the three pairs of pale wings behind its back flickered in and out of existence, constantly alternating between the states of "now" and "then."
Each change was extremely fast, so fast that the naked eye could barely catch it. It was like a piece of dough being repeatedly kneaded, its form changing in an instant.
After thinking intensely for a moment, a guess suddenly surfaced in Lin Xuan's mind. He realized the truth and felt both enlightened and somewhat amused.
As everyone knows, Mahoraga's adaptation speed depends on two factors.
First is the complexity of the attack received; the more complex the attack, the longer the adaptation time.
Second is the frequency of the attack received; the higher the frequency, the faster the adaptation speed.
The time attribute is already mysterious to the extreme, and Time Retrogression, as one of the most powerful skills among time abilities, is an unsolvable problem.
To use a mathematical metaphor, Time Retrogression is equivalent to Goldbach's conjecture.
If one were to "solve the problem" in a normal way, by the time Mahoraga fully adapted, it would be far too late.
But in the Dark Demonic Evil God Tiger's Life and Death Arena, Time Retrogression was everywhere and never-ending. It was repeatedly washing over it with countless Time Retrogressions every second.
The attack frequency had long reached a terrifying level that could not be calculated. Mahoraga could not solve the difficult problem of Time Retrogression in a short period, so it changed its approach.
The sea of questions tactic.
Can't solve it? Then use a massive amount of data to force it.
It didn't care what it was; it only cared about accepting, adapting, iterating, then accepting, adapting, and iterating again. Thousands of washes per second resulted in thousands of evolutions per second.
That's why this scene was happening: the Dharma Wheel spun into afterimages, and the body shifted into phantoms.
Helicopter Mahoraga...???
Lin Xuan shook his head, amused. He hadn't expected that the "Conceptual God" he had once jokingly mentioned would actually appear before his eyes in this way.
After understanding all this, he slowly withdrew the shock from his face, and a look of deep anticipation soon appeared in his eyes.
He really wanted to see what kind of heaven-defying ability Mahoraga would develop once it fully adapted to Time Retrogression.
As for the Dark Demonic Evil God Tiger... it was no longer important at all.
At this moment, this peerless ferocious beast was huddled in a corner of the arena, its fur standing on end, emitting constant low growls, its tiger pupils filled with confusion and fear.
Lin Xuan looked away and glanced at the Dark Demonic Evil God Tiger in the corner, raising an eyebrow.
"Oh? You still dare to hiss?"
The only reason the Dark Demonic Evil God Tiger was still alive was to maintain the existence of the Life and Death Arena. Once Mahoraga finished adapting, he would let the other party know that the consequences of hissing at will were very serious.
...
Meanwhile, in the outside World.
Moonlight once again spilled down, illuminating the messy battlefield.
The Three-Eyed Golden Lion remained suspended in mid-air, motionless. Chi Wang crouched behind her, the expressions on his three large heads having changed from helplessness to anxiety.
"Auspicious Beast, it's been a long time. That human is bound to die. You must leave here now."
The Three-Eyed Golden Lion turned a deaf ear, her three eyes staring unblinkingly at the void before her, as if she wanted to see through that space.
The Three-Eyed Golden Lion turned a deaf ear, her three eyes staring unblinkingly at the void before her, as if she wanted to see through that space.
Chi Wang frowned and patiently advised again,
"That human boy has some skill, but once he enters the Dark Demonic Evil God Tiger's Life and Death Arena, no matter how heaven-defying his talent is, there's absolutely no possibility of him surviving."
He paused, a hint of ruthlessness flashing in his eyes. "What I need to do now is wait for that beast to come out, then I'll kill it directly to vent your anger. There's no need to waste time here."
The Three-Eyed Golden Lion remained motionless, as if she hadn't heard him.
Chi Wang had a bit of a headache. He naturally knew what the Emperor Auspicious Beast was thinking; she was waiting for that human boy to come out alive.
But how was that possible? The Life and Death Arena was the Dark Demonic Evil God Tiger's home turf. Once inside, one side must die, and it was highly probable that the Dark Demonic Evil God Tiger would have the last laugh.
The current priority was to wait for the Dark Demonic Evil God Tiger to come out, then immediately kill it with thunderous means to vent the Auspicious Beast's anger, and then quickly take her away from this place of trouble.
Otherwise, if things escalated and Di Tian was drawn in, he would definitely suffer the consequences.
No, he couldn't wait any longer... Chi Wang took a deep breath and said in a low voice, "Auspicious Beast, I can't let you continue to act willfully."
As he spoke, he reached out his huge claw, intending to forcibly take the Three-Eyed Golden Lion away.
However, just as he made a move, a flicker of purple light suddenly flashed in the void.
The next moment, the void before them was torn open as if by a pair of invisible giant hands, and a deep vortex slowly emerged.
The Three-Eyed Golden Lion's three eyes widened suddenly, staring intently at the vortex, even her breathing stopped.
Her heart beat wildly, and she desperately hoped that the figure appearing before her would be that annoying yet inexplicably intriguing figure.
Chi Wang immediately withdrew his claw, killing intent surging in his eyes.
He arched his body, muscles tensed, ready to kill the Dark Demonic Evil God Tiger with thunderous means as soon as it appeared.
The vortex grew larger and larger.
The next moment, a huge black shadow emerged from it.
The Three-Eyed Golden Lion froze in place as if petrified, her mind going blank.
It was the Dark Demonic Evil God Tiger.
Chi Wang's killing intent surged, power gathering in his claws, ready to strike immediately!
But then, he suddenly noticed something wrong.
There was no sign of life in that Dark Demonic Evil God Tiger.
It was thrown out of the vortex and crashed straight onto the ground, making a dull, heavy thud.
Its tiger eyes were wide open, its pupils frozen with its final emotions: fear, unwillingness, and shock, all intertwined in a startling display.
Its body was covered in dense scars, crisscrossing like a fine net.
Chi Wang was stunned. He subconsciously probed with his Spiritual Power, and then he was even more dumbfounded.
Those slash wounds on the surface were not fatal at all. What truly killed this 50,000-year-old Dark Demonic Evil God Tiger was all the flesh and blood inside its body, which had been turned into mush.
This was an extremely eerie and violent way to die.
Chi Wang's pupils contracted sharply. So... that human boy won? And he won inside the Life and Death Arena? You've got to be kidding me! How is this possible?!
The Dark Demonic Evil God Tiger's Life and Death Arena was a terrifying Domain that even 100,000-year-old Soul Beasts were extremely wary of.
A human at the Soul King realm didn't just survive after going in, but actually killed the master inside? That's simply impossible!
The Red King froze in place, momentarily forgetting what he had even intended to do.
From within the vortex, a figure followed closely behind, stepping out.
Lin Xuan trod upon the void, slowly descending to the ground. His face was calm and rippleless, as if he had merely gone for a tour of the Life and Death Arena.
The moonlight spilled over him, casting his upright figure like a Divinity stepping out of legend.
The Three-Eyed Golden Lion stared at him blankly, her mind a total void, before endless joy surged like a tide, instantly filling her empty thoughts.
Subconsciously, she began to walk, running toward Lin Xuan.
"You... are you okay? You scared me to death! That damned beast didn't do anything to you, did it?"
The Three-Eyed Golden Lion's voice was full of lingering fear, her words firing off like a machine gun, completely losing her usual high-and-mighty air.
But the moment the words left her mouth, she suddenly realized. No.
No! She couldn't be like this. She was the noble Emperor Auspicious Beast; how could she be so enthusiastic toward a human?
The Three-Eyed Golden Lion's footsteps slammed to a halt, stopping abruptly halfway. She turned her head away, pretending to be nonchalant, though her tail flicked involuntarily.
"Hmph, not bad."
Her voice regained its customary arrogance, yet it sounded somewhat unnatural no matter how one heard it. "I knew that kind of trash wouldn't be a match for you."
After speaking, she stole another glance at Lin Xuan and quickly retracted her gaze, though the corners of her mouth couldn't help but turn up slightly.
Lin Xuan watched this scene, raising an eyebrow with interest.
Didn't realize she was such a tsundere girl.
"This Soul Beast you killed dropped something extraordinary!"
"Lin Xuan! Quick! Quick, grab that bead!" Tianmeng Ice Silkworm's voice even changed pitch in his urgency, wishing he could rush out himself.
Lin Xuan was startled, then immediately looked down toward the corpse of the Dark Demonic Evil God Tiger.
The corpse of the Dark Demonic Evil God Tiger lay quietly on the ground, its life force extinguished.
A deep black Soul Ring was slowly rising from its body, emitting a heart-palpitating pressure, pitch black as ink and deep as an abyss.
But Lin Xuan's gaze fell upon something else.
Beneath that Soul Ring, a black bead was slowly emerging from the corpse.
It was enveloped in a mass of extremely evil black mist that writhed and churned like a living thing, emitting a cold aura that made one feel instinctively uncomfortable.
Lin Xuan's pupils constricted slightly.
In an instant, a name surfaced in his mind...
Evil God Bead!
Lin Xuan actually didn't know much about the Evil God Bead.
He only knew that the first time this thing appeared was when Tang San killed a ten-thousand-year Dark Demonic Evil God Tiger; Tang San tried to obtain it, but the Evil God Bead escaped.
He also knew this Evil God Bead later went to another World, allowing the protagonist of another book to achieve the position of a First-Class Divinity.
He indeed didn't know much, but knowing this thing was related to Divinities was already enough reason for Lin Xuan to feel he must obtain it.
With that thought, Lin Xuan immediately charged downward!
His speed was extremely fast. The wings of Shikigami: Nue behind him abruptly unfurled, with golden lightning snakes slithering and Entanglement across them as he turned into a streak of light and dived down!
Seeing this scene, the Three-Eyed Golden Lion got a little angry.
She had been so worried about him just now, so concerned, but what about this guy? After coming out, he didn't even look at her, didn't even give a single response, and just rushed down so hurriedly?
Her three eyes went wide and round, her mouth puffed out slightly, and her tail lashed back and forth, looking completely huffy.
Hmph! If you're going to ignore me, then fine! Who cares!
The Red King, however, was somewhat enraged. A mere human brat, seeing him, a 200,000-year Great Beast, actually had no reaction at all?
He was the Three-Headed Scarlet Demonic Mastiff! A being ranked eighth among the Ten Great Savage Beasts! Even human Super Douluos had to be polite when they saw him!
This brat was taking him far too lightly.
His three heads simultaneously opened their bloody maws, roaring fiercely at Lin Xuan, "Arrogant human brat! Who gave you permission to contact the Emperor Auspicious Beast on your own?!"
The sound waves rolled out, shaking the surrounding leaves until they fell rustling to the ground.
"This King remembers warning you all not long ago! Does your Shrek intend to go to war with the Star Dou Great Forest?!"
The Three-Eyed Golden Lion's brow furrowed slightly; she was becoming unhappy.
Why was Uncle Red King like this? Lin Xuan just saved this Auspicious Beast, and he's being so mean to him...
Just as she was about to speak, Lin Xuan, who was flying downward at high speed, came to a sudden stop.
He turned around and looked at the Red King. Those black eyes were as cold as a ten-thousand-year icy pond, his face like frost without a hint of warmth, and his voice was low as he said,
"Scram."
A single word, spoken casually, yet it made the hair all over the Red King's body stand on end!
Before his voice had even faded, the shadow cast on the ground behind Lin Xuan suddenly expanded like a tide!
The speed of that expansion was extremely fast, suffocatingly so! The shadow writhed, spread, and devoured like a living creature, and in just a single breath, it had encompassed everything within a hundred-meter radius!
The earth turned into a pitch-black sea of shadows.
The Red King's pupils shrank violently.
Within that shadow, countless crimson lights suddenly lit up!
Densely packed and covering the sky, it was as if the demons from the deepest depths of hell had opened their eyes!
Within the shadows, figures flickered endlessly, as if that pitch-black shadow sea connected to the Nine Hells, and those crimson lights were all demons from hell!
Among them, there were two auras that made the blood in the Red King's body turn half-cold.
Those auras were not weaker than his own at all!
The expressions on his three large heads froze simultaneously, his six eyes went wide, and his mouths hung slightly open, yet he couldn't make a sound.
The pride of a 200,000-year Great Beast was crushed to powder in this instant.
In the next moment, Mahoraga charged out from the shadows! Shadow Death Dragon Knight also charged out from the shadows!
One on the left and one on the right, the two massive figures were like two moving mountains, carrying an aura that could destroy heaven and earth as they rushed straight for the Evil God Bead!
The Evil God Bead seemed to sense the threat, and the mass of black mist enveloping it shuddered violently!
In the next second, as if it possessed intelligence, it suddenly accelerated, turning into a black streak of light and fleeing madly into the distance!
Its speed was extremely fast, almost impossible to catch with the naked eye! However, how could it be faster than Mahoraga and the Shadow Death Dragon Knight?
In just the blink of an eye, Mahoraga's pale, massive hand had already clamped onto the Evil God Bead like a steel vise!
The Evil God Bead struggled frantically, that evil black mist churning violently and emitting bursts of wailing shrieks like ghosts and howling wolves! It lunged left and right within Mahoraga's palm, yet it could never break free from that iron-like confinement.
Finally, after struggling for a while, the Evil God Bead gradually returned to calm. It lay quietly in Mahoraga's palm, the black mist receding, no longer resisting, as if it had finally accepted its fate.
Lin Xuan no longer paid any mind to the frozen Red King. He reached out and took the black bead from Mahoraga's palm.
The bead felt slightly cool in his hand, its texture smooth as jade. The black mist had completely receded, revealing its original appearance—a round bead that was pitch black throughout, its surface flowing with a dark luster.
Lin Xuan examined it for a few moments and thought to himself, "Elder Electrolux, Skydream, do you know what this bead does?"
The reaction of these two just now had been so intense; they likely knew some unknown secrets about the Evil God Bead.
Within the Spiritual Sea, Electrolux was silent for a moment before slowly speaking,
"I do not know. The reason this old man told you to take it was simply because I sensed a very special aura on it."
Lin Xuan: "..."
Tianmeng Ice Silkworm also spoke up quickly, "I'm not sure either! It's just that my Spiritual Power tells me this little thing is not simple. It feels... it feels like something is hidden inside it, but as for what exactly, I can't say."
"After all, this is the first time I've seen such a thing too."
Lin Xuan: "..."
So you guys actually don't know anything?!
