Chapter 103 Qualitative Change, the Fear of Da Ming and Er Ming.
Deep within a dark canyon in the Star Dou Great Forest.
Here, sunlight never shines, and the air is thick with the stench of decay and death.
A terrifying giant tiger, over six meters long, entirely black, with wings on its back and a tail composed of countless bone segments—a scorpion's tail—lazily reclines on a boulder.
The Dark Demon Evil God Tiger!
An anomaly in the world of soul beasts, a demon that devours the growth of soul beasts and soul masters.
When it saw the words on the sky, its blood-red eyes instantly erupted with a greedy and fanatical light.
"Roar..."
"Is it finally my turn?"
The Dark Demon Evil God Tiger licked its lips, revealing its gleaming white fangs.
Although it only had 60,000 years of cultivation, its intelligence was already comparable to that of a human.
It knew this was the greatest opportunity of its life!
A beam of light, as black as ink yet radiating an eerie golden edge, pierced through the layers of the forest canopy, striking it precisely.
"Roar!!"
The Dark Demon Evil God Tiger let out a triumphant roar.
The pure, evil energy surged wildly into its body, transforming every bone and muscle. Its original 60,000 years of cultivation surged like a burst dam, reaching 80,000 years!
For ordinary soul beasts, the leap from 60,000 to 80,000 years wasn't particularly significant.
But for it, possessing the bloodline of an evil god, this was a qualitative change!
Its black fur deepened, seemingly capable of swallowing light.
Its wings unfurled, their wingspan exceeding ten meters, swirling with chilling gray energy.
Most terrifying of all was its scorpion tail.
What was once a pale white bone hook had transformed into a strange, dark crystalline color, its tip gleaming with a despairing, cold light.
"Ultimate Darkness!"
The Dark Demon Evil God Tiger sensed the new power within its body.
It raised its paw and casually slashed through the void.
"Sizzle!"
A tiny black crack appeared in the space it had slashed, refusing to heal for a long time!
"Is this the ultimate attribute?"
"Too strong! This power is more than twice as strong as before!"
The Dark Demon Evil God Tiger stood up, the aura emanating from its body causing the surrounding plants to wither instantly, turning into black ash.
Its gaze turned towards the core area of the forest.
That was the place it had always coveted, yet dared not easily set foot in.
Because two enormous creatures lived there.
The Azure Bull Python and the Titan Giant Ape!
When those two brothers joined forces, even with its many strange abilities, it could only retreat, even fleeing in disarray.
But now…
"Heh heh…"
The Dark Demon Evil God Tiger let out a chilling chuckle, its voice like the hooting of an owl, extremely unpleasant.
"Azure Bull Python... Titan Giant Ape..."
"Before, you relied on your superior cultivation to join forces against me."
"Now, I not only possess eighty thousand years of cultivation, but also the ultimate darkness and a purer bloodline of the Evil God!"
It confidently swung its deadly scorpion tail.
"If I were to encounter you again now, even without the Arena of Life and Death, with just this enhanced Dark Domain and ultimate attributes, I am confident I can defeat you!"
An unprecedented sense of arrogance filled its heart.
It felt it was now the master of this forest!
It was an existence surpassing even 200,000-year-old soul beasts!
Of course, the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger's confidence had swelled due to its increased strength, but it remained extremely cautious, refraining from rashly seeking revenge against the Azure Bull Python and Titan Giant Ape.
The light barrier had already revealed the presence of two super soul beasts over 300,000 years old in the far north, and it hadn't truly set foot in the core area of the Star Dou Great Forest.
Besides the Titan Giant Ape and Azure Bull Python, could there be even more powerful beings in that area?
As soon as the light barrier dissipated, the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger instantly activated its evil and spatial powers, leaving only a dark mark in its original location.
The descending light barrier had exposed its position; for safety's sake, it needed to find another place.
The deepening of its evil god bloodline gave it confidence that even if there were beings more powerful than the Titan Giant Ape and Azure Bull Python, they wouldn't be able to easily detect its hiding place!
Meanwhile.
At the edge of the core area of the Star Dou Great Forest.
Just moments before, Da Ming and Er Ming had been gloating over their ranking on the list, but now their faces turned extremely grim.
"Big brother..."
Er Ming scratched his head, a hint of fear appearing for the first time in his large, lantern-like eyes.
"That freakish tiger is on the list too!"
"And it's ranked several places higher than us!"
"Sixteenth place..."
Although Er Ming was simple-minded, its intuition for danger was incredibly sharp.
"It was only 60,000 years old before, and it was already as slippery as an eel, with all sorts of wicked skills."
"Now it's 80,000 years old, and it even has that 'Ultimate Darkness' thing."
"I feel like if I were to encounter it alone, I'd be in serious trouble."
In the lake, Da Ming's head was held high, his expression extremely grave.
"Er Ming, your feeling is right."
Da Ming's voice was deep and serious.
"This Dark Demon Evil God Tiger is an anomaly."
"It's said to be an extremely evil creature left behind by an evil god, its cultivation method relying on devouring the cultivation of other soul beasts."
"Its growth rate is already much faster than ours."
Da Ming looked at the words "Evil God Bloodline Concentration Increased" on the sky, and a strong sense of unease rose in his heart.
"At 60,000 years old, it could escape from the hands of the two of us."
"Now at 80,000 years old, coupled with the suppression of extreme attributes, if it unleashes that Dark Domain, combined with its Evil God Hook and even the Arena of Life and Death..."
Da Ming took a deep breath and slowly said:
"I'm afraid that even if the two of us join forces, killing it will be as difficult as ascending to heaven."
"Even..."
Da Ming didn't continue, but Er Ming understood.
They might even be killed instead!
Especially that Arena of Life and Death! After the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger's strength greatly increased, the rules of that arena must have become stronger as well, which is simply an unsolvable killing move!
"Damn it!"
Er Ming angrily slammed his fist on the ground.
After a moment of contemplation, Da Ming looked deeper into the forest: "Er Ming, perhaps we need to go to the core area. There are beings there stronger than us. We must inform them of the danger posed by this evil tiger."
"That tiger's strength has greatly increased; it will definitely consolidate its power through devouring."
"We can't let it grow so recklessly anymore."
"The existence of the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger is no longer just a threat to us."
"If its devouring growth characteristic isn't curbed, it will eventually become a disaster for the entire Star Dou Great Forest!"
