Though the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger possessed six formidable attributes—wind, thunder, evil, darkness, time, and space—it was still no match for the combined might of the 100,000-year-old Titan Giant Ape and the Sky Azure Bull Python.
Even the tiger's life-and-death arena, a skill that imposed its own rules upon the battlefield, was nothing more than a minor obstacle to these two brothers.
For humans, this technique was indeed a fearsome ability—one that could reduce their age to a mere six years old, the minimum age at which a human could awaken their martial soul.
But against soul beasts far older than itself, the effect was far less potent.
The technique essentially subtracted the age of its own soul ring from the opponent's.
Against a 100,000-year soul beast, the tiger's attack would reduce their age to 40,000 years, while its own lifespan would plummet to zero.
Of course, it could still fight the 50,000-year Titan Giant Ape or the 89,000-year Sky Azure Bull Python with its remaining 10,000 years of power. But that was tantamount to suicide.
After all, any beast capable of reaching the 100,000-year threshold possessed top bloodline. Even with their age diminished, they were still deadly opponents.
The Dark Demon Evil God Tiger had come here with a purpose—it had recently sensed a Soul Emperor within the forest and sought to hunt them down to strengthen its own bloodline.
Yet, how could it have anticipated that before it could even act, it would be discovered and relentlessly pursued by these two 100,000-year beast kings?
"Enough! You two beasts, stop provoking me!"
The Dark Demon Evil God Tiger finally erupted in fury.
It was a noble creature, a white tiger blessed with the blood of an evil god! How dare a mere monkey and a serpent chase it down and humiliate it like this?
"Dark Demon Evil God Thunder!"
As the tiger roared in human speech—a feat unheard of for a 50,000-year soul beast—the Sky Azure Bull Python and Titan Giant Ape were stunned.
'Since when could a 50,000-year soul beast speak?!'
"BOOM!"
A surge of black lightning erupted from the tiger's maw, but the Sky Azure Bull Python refused to back down. Thunder? It could wield that too!
"Sky Azure Fading Thunderclap!"
If they didn't eliminate such a highly intelligent foe today, it would only bring endless trouble in the future.
At that moment, a golden radiance burst from the Titan Giant Ape's body, effortlessly blocking the dark thunder.
Meanwhile, the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger narrowly avoided the Sky Azure Bull Python's counterattack by warping space.
"Evil Wind Blade!"
Seeing the ape and python preparing for another assault, the tiger decided to cut its losses.
If it couldn't win, it would flee—live to fight another day, perhaps after cultivating for another 80,000 years.
"Damn it! Titan Firmament Breaker!"
The Titan Giant Ape, true to its title as the King of Beasts, unleashed a punch so powerful it distorted the surrounding space.
"Evil God's Protection!"
A thick miasma of black energy erupted from the tiger's body, instantly encasing it in a protective shroud.
The dark power dissolved the Titan Giant Ape's attack effortlessly.
"Hah! Keep an eye on those two rabbits. I'll be back for them soon."
A Soul Emperor and a 90,000-year Soft-Bone Rabbit—both were delectable prey. If it could devour them, even the Titan Giant Ape and Sky Azure Bull Python would eventually fall before it.
One by one, they would all become its nourishment, fueling its rise to even greater power!
A cold sneer flickered in its eyes.
But just as it mustered the last of its strength to tear through space and escape—Fu Ye made his move.
An overwhelming force locked down every inch of its body. Though the spatial rift it had created was right before it, the tiger found itself utterly immobilized.
Its fur stood on end—not from rage, but sheer terror.
At that moment, Fu Ye slowly rose from his seat. The big white rabbit beneath him, Xiao Wu, trembled as his aura caused her fur to puff up in fear. Yet, her plush softness made for an exceptionally comfortable cushion.
With lightning speed, Fu Ye appeared before the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger.
"How about this? Become my slave, and I'll let you live."
Eleven simple words sealed the tiger's fate. Though Fu Ye called it a "slave," in truth, it would merely be a pet—a loyal enforcer by his side.
After all, as a Quasi-God, it was unbecoming to lack subordinates.
"This seat—"
"BOOM!"
Before it could even finish, Fu Ye's fist smashed into its face, slamming its head into the ground.
The sight sent chills down the spines of the Titan Giant Ape and Sky Azure Bull Python.
'Where did this human come from? His aura… it's downright terrifying!'
Fu Ye landed beside the tiger, whose face was now grotesquely swollen from the beating.
"I—"
"BOOM!"
Another punch—this time to the right cheek.
The Sky Azure Bull Python and Titan Giant Ape winced in unison.
'Are we next?!'
"Human, you—"
"BOOM!"
Finally, after two and a half minutes of relentless pummeling, the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger collapsed to its knees, weeping and begging for mercy.
"Master! Please, no more! I was wrong, I swear!"
But Fu Ye wasn't convinced. Normally, a soul beast would submit after two and a half seconds of discipline. This one had taken two and a half minutes!
"I have no use for a disobedient dog. I'd rather kill you and turn the beads in your body into marbles."
As he spoke, a pair of resplendent nine-colored dragon claws materialized around Fu Ye's right hand.
Like Tang Wulin in Douluo Dalu III, he possessed the complete bloodline of the Dragon God, allowing him to manifest draconic armor at will.
Thanks to his system's seamless integration, he could control this power flawlessly.
The moment the dragon claws emerged, every soul beast present felt an overwhelming pressure—as if the weight of the heavens themselves bore down upon them.
"Please, spare me! I'll serve you faithfully—work like an ox, serve you hand and foot, even walk through fire if you command it!"
The Dark Demon Evil God Tiger was truly terrified. As a being infused with the blood of an evil god, it could sense the sheer dominance in Fu Ye's bloodline. No mere human could possess such power!
'This man… he must be a transformed beast, a supreme existence who has reached the pinnacle of cultivation!'
Of course, Fu Ye had no idea of the tiger's thoughts. Even if he had, he would have only chuckled.
His strength had been acquired through sheer "cheating." If not for the system's limit of two martial souls, he would have gladly fused every available one in the shop.
After all, the key to survival was caution—no room for waste.
