Douluo Continent: A Review of the Top Ten Martial Souls, Qian Renxue Breaks Through Defenses

Chapter 42 The Target of Public Criticism: Dark Demon Evil God Tiger
[Evaluation: The Dark Demon Evil God Tiger, with over 60,000 years of cultivation, is a giant black tiger. It is pure black all over, over eight meters long, and weighs over three thousand kilograms. Its red eyes are filled with a sinister aura, and the character "王" (king) on ​​its forehead is a gloomy, misty black. Its tail is long and stands upright, composed of countless joints, with a huge barb at the top.]

Possessing six attributes—evil, space, time, lightning, power, and wind—it is extremely intelligent, no less than a human. Its growth depends on devouring the soul power of other soul beasts or human soul masters, rather than cultivating itself, which makes it a target for many in the soul beast world.

A Dark Demon Evil God Tiger of ten thousand years could potentially challenge a Soul Beast of one hundred thousand years. If it cultivates to its peak, it could very well 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: Defeating it and obtaining its black bead will grant you divine inheritance, guaranteeing at least a level one deity, the God of Destruction, and potentially reaching the level of one of the five great god-kings, the Evil God-King.]

[Reward: Cultivation level increased by 100,000 years]

The repercussions of the news about the sixteenth-ranked Soul Beast have not yet subsided, and the five words "Dark Demon Evil God Tiger" have become the focus of heated discussion on the mainland.

What shocked everyone even more was that Zhu Zhuqing, who was previously ranked third on the Martial Soul Ranking, possessed the Martial Soul of the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger!

"Zhu Zhuqing, who ranks third on the Martial Soul Ranking, actually shares the same Martial Soul as this evil tiger?"

"No wonder Miss Zhu's cultivation is ranked third; it turns out her martial spirit origin is so terrifying!"

"This is interesting. One is a ferocious beast with the inheritance of an evil god, and the other is a genius soul master with the same martial soul. Could there be some connection between them?"

"Of course it is. That mysterious Senior Li will definitely kill this evil tiger and use it as his disciple's soul ring."

"That's right. Even though this evil tiger has over 16 years of cultivation, it's still no match for a God King."

This matter is being discussed in taverns and sect council halls across the mainland.

Some people envied Zhu Zhuqing's talent, while others feared the ferocity of the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger.

Some people even began to speculate whether Tianxing Academy would take action against the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger because of Zhu Zhuqing.

On the shore of the Lake of Life in the Star Dou Great Forest, Gu Yuena listened to the discussions of the surrounding soul beasts, a disdainful sneer curling at the corner of her lips.

"That Zhu Zhuqing? She's just a human brat with a low-quality, same-origin martial soul."

Her voice was cold and detached, carrying a hint of disdain for human soul masters.

"Only this one is truly worthy of the title of 'candidate for evil god' among the Dark Demon God Tigers."

After saying that, she looked up towards the direction of the Black Forest, a hint of recruitment flashing in her eyes.

"The Dark Demon Evil God Tiger grows by devouring, possessing six attributes. If I can harness these attributes, it will surely become a great asset in the fight against humanity."

She murmured softly, her elemental power fluctuating slightly, "As long as he is willing to submit to Xingdou, I can ensure that no one will dare to touch him in the Xingdou 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 has great ambitions. 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 him enough benefits, he will naturally work for me."

"Besides, the evil god is not an evil god king. At most, he is just a first-level god. My strength has not yet recovered, but I am already enough to contend with a first-level god. What do I have to fear even if he has great ambitions?"

Meanwhile, under the pavilion at Tianxing Academy, Li Tianyi gazed at the information about the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger on the sky-high light screen, a meaningful smile playing on his lips.

"Dark Demon Evil God Tiger, 160,000 years of cultivation, six attributes, and the inheritance of that evil god..."

He muttered to himself, a glint of greed in his eyes, "This tiger would be a nice gift."

He turned to look at Zhu Zhuqing, who was cultivating not far away, and a satisfied look appeared in his eyes. "Zhuqing's martial soul is the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger. Now that she is 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 be used as Zhu Qing's sixth soul ring to help her break through to Soul Saint, or even stronger!"

Upon hearing this, Shui Bing'er, who was standing to the side, showed a hint of surprise in her eyes.

"Teacher, this Dark Demon Evil God Tiger possesses the inheritance of an evil god, and its strength is comparable to that of a 100,000-year-old soul beast. It will probably not be easy to capture it."

"Not easy?"

Li Tianyi chuckled, a faint aura of pressure emanating from his body. "Nothing is difficult in front of my Tianxing Academy."

Meanwhile, deep within the Black Forest, the Dark Demon God Tiger was feeling the surge of power within its body, its eyes filled with excitement and madness.

"My cultivation has increased by 100,000 years! I've actually broken through to 160,000 years!"

It roared to the sky, black mist gushing from its body, and the power of six elements churning wildly within it. "Now, even a 400,000-year-old ferocious beast might not be my match!"

It sensed the countless covetous gazes from across the continent, and a sinister glint flashed in its eyes.

"You want my black pearl?"

It sneered, its sharp fangs grinding together.

"Just you wait! Once I fully control this power accumulated over ten thousand years, this continent will be mine!"

The Dark Demon God Tiger was ecstatic about his cultivation level increasing by a factor of 100,000.

Suddenly, a clear, cold voice, like moonlight, rang directly in its mind, carrying an undeniable majesty.

"Dark Demon Evil God Tiger, submit to the stars, and I will ensure your safety and help you reach a higher realm."

Is he the supreme ruler of the soul beasts?
The Dark Demon God Tiger's red pupils suddenly contracted, a hint of fear flashing in its eyes, which then turned into a sense of weighing the pros and cons.

It knew all too well how terrifying Gu Yuena was; this matriarch of the Star Dou Great Forest was far more powerful than any other soul beast.

If they could submit to her, they could not only avoid the forces on the continent that coveted the Black Pearl, but also use the resources of the Starry Sky to grow rapidly and get one step closer to the position of the Evil God.

"This junior...is willing to submit!"

It lowered its voice, its tone tinged with obsequiousness, and respectfully bowed its head toward the core area of ​​the star.

As long as it can survive and become stronger, it doesn't matter who it submits to.

However, no sooner had it finished speaking than the sky suddenly darkened!
There was no earth-shattering roar, no devastating energy fluctuations, only an invisible pressure, like the heavens above, instantly enveloping the entire Black Forest and even spreading to every corner of the Starry Sky Forest.

The fawning expression on the face of the Dark Demon God Tiger froze instantly, replaced by extreme fear.

It felt as if an invisible hand was gripping its neck, its soul power instantly freezing, making even breathing extremely difficult.

It tried to resist, to use its spatial abilities to escape, but no matter how much it struggled, the oppressive aura was like a leech, making it unable to move.

"Who?! Who dares to lay a hand on me?!"
