Douluo Continent: My Martial Soul is the Black Dragon, I am the Lord of the Gods

Chapter 217 Dark Devil Tiger

……

Sunlight filters through the dappled gaps in the leaves, gently scattering across the lake like golden threads, shimmering with sparkling spots of light as the water ripples slightly.

After Xuanming mastered the Yin-Yang Soul Core, Ditian, following the Ice Dragon King's instructions, began a new round of teaching, focusing on developing Xuanming Black Dragon Martial Soul's innate abilities.

Time, space, darkness, light, and spirit are the innate attributes of the Black Dragon Martial Soul. Combined with ice and fire, as well as the Thunder Bloodline obtained in Thunder Valley, Xuanming now possesses eight attributes.

The time and space attributes are a bit troublesome. Xuanming needs to cultivate the Black Dragon Martial Soul to a higher level before he can develop them further. He doesn't have the ability to do that now. But Di Tian knows more about the dark and light attributes, so he focused on teaching him those.

Of course, it wasn't a hands-on teaching method; Di Tian directly unleashed his ultimate dark domain, forcibly stimulating Xuan Ming's own dark attributes.

Through the clash of realms and the thrill of life and death, Xuanming's own dark attributes are forcibly guided to evolve.

Simply put, it's either become stronger or die!
It must be said that this is indeed a very effective method.

It's just a bit too much!

"Aren't you being a little too harsh?"

Looking at Xuanming, who had just finished training and was once again receiving treatment from Biji, Ziji's expression was somewhat solemn, and her brows furrowed slightly.

Di Tian's teaching method was very simple and straightforward: he would explain the key points and then get to work!

Unless Xuanming comprehends and masters the teachings of the Emperor Heaven Sect during the battle, this one-sided beating will never stop!

With Bi Ji constantly providing healing and recovery, and the Blue Silver Emperor gathering his life energy with all his might, plus the dragon bones on Xuan Ming's body providing protection, he could not be killed unless a god-level being intervened.

After realizing this, Di Tian seemed to have lost all sense of propriety!

Since we can't kill him anyway, let's beat him to death!
To stimulate Xuanming's survival instinct to the greatest extent!
“This is what he requested,” Di Tian said.

"He wanted me to use the fastest method, and this is the fastest method."

"But will this really make me stronger?" Zi Ji was somewhat doubtful.

"You know that excessive stimulation of the survival instinct can lead to a mental breakdown."

While the stimulation of being on the verge of death can indeed maximize potential in a short period of time, such stimulation also carries significant risks.

Whether human or spirit beast, there is a limit to how much stimulation one can tolerate.

Too much, or excessive, will cause mental breakdown! Numbness!
"Does he look like he's about to break down?" Di Tian asked.

Zi Ji frowned. Xuan Ming showed no signs of collapsing. Faced with Di Tian's crushing defeat, he became increasingly excited, and his control over his various abilities was rapidly improving and becoming stronger.

"Has he... been tortured?" Zi Ji couldn't help but wonder.

Any mentally sound person would have collapsed long ago after undergoing this kind of training!
But Xuanming didn't seem to be feeling suppressed at all; on the contrary, he seemed quite relaxed.

“The pressure he’s under is more terrifying than you can imagine. He won’t break down at this level alone,” Di Tian said.

"As for the torment... he lived in constant agony."

"..."

"Why don't you... rest for a few days first?" Looking at Xuanming's severely injured body, which was corroded by extreme darkness and made recovery extremely difficult, Biji couldn't bear it.

Xuanming's regenerative ability is indeed terrifying, comparable to the Blue Silver Emperor's immortality, but Ditian's extreme dark attribute can annihilate all life!
Even the Blue Silver Emperor's "immortality" ability will gradually wither away in the extreme darkness of the Emperor's Heaven!

Although Di Tian didn't kill him, the wounds on Xuan Ming's body, eroded by extreme darkness, were not just simple pain.

"No need, I don't have much time," Xuanming said softly with his eyes closed.

Di Tian's extreme dark attribute did indeed greatly suppress his recovery ability, but this erosion also prompted his own dark attribute to continuously evolve, generating extremely strong resistance to it. Moreover, this repeated torment and recovery accelerated his absorption of the Thunder Core Energy.

In less than two months, he leveled up again, reaching level sixty.

The Soul Master Competition is just around the corner, and it's about time for him to head back...

Just as Brigitte was about to try to persuade him again, a violent commotion suddenly broke out in the forest.

A huge black shadow suddenly burst out of the forest and landed heavily in front of Di Tian.

It was none other than the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger, who had been beaten half to death!
"A mixed zone? This thing isn't even in the Star Dou Great Forest!"

Xiong Jun walked over in a sullen voice and plopped down on the ground.

"Not in the Star Dou Great Forest?" Bi Ji was slightly taken aback.

"This guy was injured by the Azure Bull Python over there a thousand years ago, and then driven out of the Star Dou Great Forest by the Titan Giant Ape," Xiong Jun said speechlessly.

"They even got it wrong there, making me search for months in the mixed zone for nothing."

"Then where did you find it?" Brigitte asked, puzzled.

“We’ve gone over a thousand miles north of the Star Dou Great Forest. It was the route the Demon King found. When I got there, that entire Soul Beast Forest had been devoured by this guy.” As he spoke, Xiong Jun looked at Xuan Ming, who had been severely injured by Di Tian and had not yet recovered.

"Hey, you got beaten up too?"

Xuanming sat up, glanced at Xiong Jun without saying a word, and then turned his gaze to the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger that Xiong Jun had crippled.

"Did it use its evil god hook?" Xuanming asked.

"Evil God Hook? What Evil God Hook?" Xiong Jun asked in confusion.

Xuanming was slightly taken aback. The next moment, the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger, which was lying on the ground pretending to be on its last breath, suddenly turned its blood-red eyes into a dark blue. A pure black aura appeared around its body, like a dark cloud, propelling it towards Biji.

Xuanming subconsciously opened his domain, but under the protection of that evil god's aura, the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger was completely unaffected by the domain and arrived in front of Biji in just an instant.

The evil god's hook had transformed into an evil god's thorn, and a burst of intense black light erupted, turning into a huge black hole that generated an extremely terrifying suction force.

Just as Brigitte was about to be sucked into the black hole, Xuanming pushed her away. He activated the Wrath of Winter, and a terrifying chill burst forth. The black hole was frozen for a moment, but quickly recovered. However, it still failed to affect the strange aura of the evil god.

"You're courting death!" Di Tian's eyes narrowed, and he swung out a claw. The terrifying dark claw struck towards the tail of the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger, intending to interrupt the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger's attack. However, contrary to his expectations, the Evil God's thorn only slightly deflected, directly shattering his attack.

At the same time, Xiong Jun, realizing he had been tricked, was enraged. He activated the Sky-Tearing Claw, which, like a bolt of lightning tearing the sky apart, carried a terrifying power capable of destroying the world and slammed into the strange layer of evil god aura protecting the body of the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger.

Just a second ago, the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger was congratulating itself on its disguise. It let out a miserable cry. Its seemingly indestructible evil god aura was cracked and shattered completely under the powerful force of the Sky-Tearing Claw, just like thin ice exposed to the scorching sun.

However, the suction force emanating from the black hole was not affected in the slightest, and instead sucked in the nearest Xuanming along with the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger.

The whole process took only a short moment.

"Xuan Ming!"

Di Tian roared, his ultimate dark domain surging wildly as he rushed towards the black hole, attempting to pull Xuan Ming out at the last moment.

However, the power of that black hole was extremely strange, swallowing up Di Tian's power as well. He could only watch helplessly as Xuan Ming and the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger were completely sucked into it. The black hole then slowly closed and disappeared.

"Xiong Jun! What have you done?!" Di Tian looked at Xiong Jun angrily.

"I don't know!" Xiong Jun looked completely bewildered.

"I clearly crippled it!"

To ensure safety, he would beat the guy up every now and then on the way back, making sure it didn't even have the strength to run away!
