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

Chapter 218 We are all living hard
……

“The Dark Demon Evil God Tiger is extremely intelligent. It must have sensed something because you didn’t kill it, so it has been disguising itself the whole way.” Brigitte bit her lower lip, her voice trembling slightly, clearly still shaken.

"Just now, I should have been the one sucked in."

Murasaki frowned, filled with doubt: "But what kind of move is this?"

Even Di Tian's attacks failed to work, so even if this Dark Demon Evil God Tiger has reached a cultivation level of 100,000 years, it shouldn't be this powerful, right?
"I don't know." Di Tian's face was extremely ugly. This was also the first time he had fought against the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger. In the past, this kind of soul beast would never dare to appear in front of him, let alone get this close!
"Then... what do we do now?" The three-eyed golden lion looked bewildered, clearly still reeling from the recent turn of events.

"Aunt Bing, Master, do you know what this is?" Di Tian stopped wasting words with Xiong Jun and turned to the bottom of the Lake of Life for help.

"It should be the Arena of Life and Death," the Silver Dragon King said in a deep voice.

"That's a special skill powered by the power of an evil god. Once you're caught up in it, you'll be teleported to a separate space. The battle will only end when one side dies."

"And... this is an unfair battle."

"Unfair?" Di Tian was taken aback.

"What do you mean?"

"The power of the evil god contains the ability to manipulate time. Once activated, it will turn the opponent into a child, while the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger itself, after being absorbed into it, will be immune to the effects of this skill due to its protective defense," the Silver Dragon King said.

"Fortunately, Xiong Jun broke through the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger's defense in time. They should both be turned into their juvenile state by this skill now."

“But Xuanming is just a human. Once he returns to his childhood state, his martial spirit probably hasn’t even awakened yet. How could he possibly defeat the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger?” Di Tian said worriedly.

Even in its juvenile form, the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger is still a top-tier soul beast!

How can humans fight against such a being?

“If they were both in their infancy… he wouldn’t lose,” the Ice Dragon King said.

The Silver Dragon King was slightly taken aback. "Why?"

"Human martial spirits exist from birth. Apart from being guided out through an awakening ceremony, beast martial spirits can also awaken prematurely if they encounter sufficient stimulation," said the Ice Dragon King.

“His previous martial spirit awakening was not smooth, and now... I believe he won’t die so easily.”

……

Meanwhile, in the arena of life and death, both Xuanming and the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger reverted to their juvenile forms.

The black dragon behind Xuanming disappeared without a trace, and his body became extremely thin, as if he had returned to the state before his martial soul awakened.

Although the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger had shrunk in size, it still exuded a chilling aura. Its eyes flashed with a cold red light as it stared intently at Xuan Ming, letting out a low roar.

Its original target was the jade swan with a cultivation level of over 500,000 years. If it could devour that creature, it could even immediately reach a cultivation level of over 100,000 years!

Escaping this place will be a piece of cake!

But because of this guy, it almost died outside!
"Rejuvenation?" Xuanming felt his empty and weak body. Not only was his martial spirit gone, but he could also not feel the Dragon King's dragon bones. His body was also suppressed by an invisible force, making him unable to move.

"Welcome to the Arena of Life and Death. Only when one side dies can this life-or-death battle end and one side leave this space. Countdown: five, four, three, two, one, begin."

As the strange sound subsided, the stagnation vanished completely, and the Dark Demon God Tiger transformed into a black shadow, pouncing fiercely.

Despite his physical limitations, Xuanming's instincts, honed through long-term combat, allowed him to roll to the side with all his might the moment the Dark Demon God Tiger pounced.

The Dark Demon Tiger's claws grazed his shoulder, drawing a string of blood beads, and a sharp pain instantly struck.

Looking at the bloody wound on his shoulder, Xuanming frowned deeply.

The Dark Demon Tiger grew even more excited by the smell of blood. With a deep roar, wisps of gray energy began to rise from its body and slowly condense in front of it.

"You seem to really enjoy playing dirty tricks?" Xuanming suddenly asked.

The Dark Demon God Tiger was slightly taken aback, somewhat puzzled as to why this human, despite being injured, showed no fear whatsoever.

“Actually, I have many ways to kill you now.” Xuanming took out a small metal ball from his soul tool.

“For example, this is filled with a high concentration of the poison of the Jade Phosphorus Serpent King. Once it is released, you can’t escape it, but I have the antidote.”

The Dark Demon God Tiger narrowed its eyes and stopped gathering Dark Demon Lightning. It could sense a deadly threat from that small metal ball!
"And these too." Xuanming took out two more special soul tools that Bibi Dong had prepared for him from his soul tool collection. Offensive soul tools were extremely rare in this era, but not nonexistent!
The Spirit Hall possesses offensive soul tools, but lacks the talent in this area, and their manufacturing is extremely difficult. Only the children of Title Douluo elders can obtain such items, making them as precious as soul bones.

When he returned to Heaven Dou City from Spirit City, Bibi Dong gave him two gifts: a single-shot special crossbow soul tool and a rapid-fire highly poisonous needle soul tool, which were meant to be his life-saving weapons for critical moments.

He had tried it before, and killing ordinary thousand-year-old soul beasts head-on was not difficult at all!
At this moment, the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger was not even a ten-year-old soul beast, and it would surely die if it faced these two items in his hands.

“Even if you were still in your 60,000-year-old state, I could still kill you.” Xuanming took out the Snow Swan Kiss.

"This stuff can enhance the poison of the Jade Phosphorus Serpent King by a thousand times. I believe there are very few people in the world who can withstand a thousand times the amount of Jade Phosphorus Serpent King poison."

"As for me," Xuanming said, taking out a large, pale pink flower, which was the fragrant Qiluo Immortal Herb that could neutralize all toxins.

"I have my own ways of protecting myself."

The Dark Demon God Tiger's eyes changed slightly, and it instinctively took a few steps back.

"What, scared?" Xuan Ming's lips curled up slightly, revealing a mocking smile.

The Dark Demon God Tiger let out a low roar, clearly enraged by Xuan Ming's words.

However, it was still wary of the treasures in Xuanming's hands and did not launch an attack immediately.

"But don't worry, I won't use these things." Xuanming put everything back into his soul tool.

"Let's try another way!"

Xuanming's eyes narrowed, his heart pounded, and his soul power surged rapidly. In the next instant, two angry roars rang out, and two newly born black dragons suddenly grew out from behind Xuanming, their eyes flashing with terrifying red light as they stared intently at the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger.

A cold white light exploded from Xuan Ming's body, but the range was not large, only covering two or three meters around Xuan Ming.

Under the white light, the bloody wound on Xuanming's shoulder began to heal, and disappeared completely in just a few breaths.

Xuanming stared intently at the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger, his heart pounding faster and his blood surging. His thin body swelled at a visible speed, becoming stronger, and black scales slowly appeared on his body. His limbs also underwent a certain degree of dragonification.

The Dark Demon God Tiger looked at Xuan Ming, who had undergone a tremendous change, and a hint of fear flashed in its eyes.

Although it is a top-tier soul beast with innate arrogance and ferocity, it couldn't help but feel a sense of unease in the face of this sudden change.

The oppressive aura emanating from Xuanming made it instinctively realize that the human before it was stronger than it!
"You really enjoy playing dirty tricks, don't you?" Xuan Ming's lips curled up slightly, revealing a cruel smile.

The next instant, before the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger could react, Xuanming suddenly pushed off the ground and shot out, rushing to the front of the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger.

A cold white light exploded, and the Dark Demon God Tiger felt a suffocating sense of oppression. Immediately afterward, a heavy fist as hard as steel landed on its head.

boom!
The Dark Demon Evil God Tiger felt a sharp pain in its head, and saw stars before its eyes. Its body was sent flying backward by the punch, but it was only halfway there when another sharp pain came from its side. Looking closely, it saw a black dragon behind Xuanming biting its left foreleg.

Before it could think any further, Xuanming's fist came down again.

"Roar!" The Dark Demon God Tiger roared, and gray aura swirled around its body, enveloping it.

Xuanming's fist landed on the aura of the evil god, as if it had struck steel, producing a crisp sound, and the force of the impact cracked his bones.

"Oh?" Xuanming withdrew his right fist, felt the cracked bone in his hand and the excruciating pain, and his smile became even more unrestrained.

"Great, it seems I can continue without worry."

As soon as he finished speaking, the black dragon, which had been biting the left front leg of the Dark Demon God Tiger, suddenly swung its head and flung the Dark Demon God Tiger hard to the ground.

"Bang!" The Dark Demon God Tiger slammed heavily to the ground, letting out a shrill scream, and a crack appeared on the gray shield on its body.

"Keep going, little kitty, we have plenty of time."

As soon as he finished speaking, Xuanming's fists rained down, relentlessly striking the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger.

The Dark Demon God Tiger could only defend passively, and its gray shield gradually dimmed under Xuanming's attacks.

"Good luck! Don't die too quickly, that would be too boring."

"Live life to the fullest!"
