Almost at the same instant, a terrifying aura of god-level power that made the heavens and earth change color erupted from within Xiao Wu.
That was the power of Asura.
Blood-red killing intent mixed with chilling divine power surged into the sky, condensing into a crimson-gold domain around Xiao Wu.
However, the sneak attack by the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger was far too sudden; the black hole of the Evil God Spike had already formed, and its suction had locked onto Tang An.
No matter how fast Xiao Wu's Judgment Domain was, it was still a fraction of a second too slow.
Tang An looked at the black hole spinning at the tip of the Evil God Spike, yet his expression remained devoid of panic.
His Time Stop Domain could easily evade it, but there was no need.
His current body was already six years old, so a regression would be meaningless; he possessed a Soul Saint-level physical body, Spirit Abyss Realm peak spiritual power, two God King origin martial souls, a million-year wisdom soul ring, and the remains of Tian Meng.
With these trump cards in hand, it was not yet certain who would devour whom.
Moreover, he was very interested in the operating rules of this different dimension; experiencing it personally was more direct than any theoretical analysis.
At the very last moment before being sucked in, Tang An only had time to give Xiao Wu a look that said, "Don't worry."
Xiao Wu's god-level strength could only be maintained for a quarter of an hour at most; once her power was exhausted, she would revert to the form of a Soft Bone Rabbit.
But Xiao Wu did not care at all; she reached out and tore fiercely at the void where Tang An had disappeared, the golden light of the Judgment Domain pouring in frantically as she attempted to forcibly rip open the spatial rift.
At the same moment, in the underground space at the deepest part of the Star Dou Forest.
A pair of enormous silver eyes slowly opened. It was a giant dragon, entirely silver-white and stretching for who knows how many miles, every scale containing the luster of seven elements.
It was the Silver Dragon King, Gu Yuena, the monarch revered by all soul beasts.
Gu Yuena's gaze pierced through layers of earth, looking toward the Asura divine power surging into the sky in the distance.
"Asura?"
Gu Yuena did not act rashly; she did not want to get involved in the disputes of the God Realm for the time being.
"What has happened in the God Realm? Why would Asura power descend upon the mortal world? It seems I must go to the mortal world to see for myself later..."
Deep in the void, inside the Life and Death Arena.
The moment Tang An's feet touched the ground, a strange power of time surged from all directions, wrapping around his body.
That power attempted to reverse Tang An's time, forcing him to regress into his childhood form.
Then, nothing happened.
Opposite him, the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger, which had shrunk by a large margin, stared blankly at Tang An, confusion appearing in its scarlet eyes for the first time.
Its cultivation of ninety-nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine years had been forcibly suppressed to the thousand-year level after activating the Evil God Spike.
According to the rules of the Life and Death Arena, the youth opposite should also have been suppressed back to the cultivation of a six-year-old.
Not shrunk? How could he not have shrunk?
The Dark Demon Evil God Tiger let out a low growl of disbelief.
ROAR! This is impossible!
Its scarlet eyes scanned Tang An repeatedly, and a moment later, it finally understood something, a flash of realization crossing its eyes.
This youth was already in the state of a six-year-old.
"Whatever," the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger shook its massive tiger head, its scarlet eyes locking onto Tang An once more.
Regardless of why he didn't shrink, how strong could a six-year-old soul master be? Even though it was currently suppressed to around a thousand years of cultivation.
But a thousand years against a six-year-old was just like crushing an ant.
It let out a low growl, its hind legs exerting sudden force as it lunged at Tang An like a moving mountain, its tiger claws swiping down with a sharp whistle that tore through the air.
Tang An did not dodge or evade; he raised his right fist and met it head-on.
The origin of destruction from the Crimson Annihilation Hammer coated his fist in a layer of dark red shimmer, his Soul Saint-level physical strength erupting without reservation.
BOOM!
A dull, thunderous explosion detonated within the different dimension.
As fist and claw collided, a visible shockwave swept out in all directions, and the ground of the different dimension was cracked by the impact.
The Dark Demon Evil God Tiger was blasted back several yards by this punch, the joints in its tiger claws aching faintly, its pair of scarlet eyes wide open, filled with utter disbelief.
This brat's physical strength was actually on par with its own? No, perhaps even stronger?
Tang An shook his slightly numb fist, feeling confident.
A Soul Saint-level physical body against a thousand-year Evil God Tiger meant he was not at a disadvantage in terms of strength, and with the two God King origins and Tian Meng's million-year soul ring, taking down this tiger would not be a problem.
Just as Tang An was preparing to take the initiative, a familiar voice suddenly echoed in his mind.
"Little brother, how is this grand gift?"
Tang An paused; this voice belonged to his cheap older brother, Tang San.
Tang An's mouth twitched as he cursed inwardly, "So it was you, the brother-obsessed Tang San, who caused this."
However, his face instantly shifted into an expression of pleasant surprise, and he called out obediently, "Big brother! How did you get here? You're so amazing, to be able to descend to the mortal world."
Tang San's phantom slowly coalesced beside Tang An. Hearing that "Big Brother," the smile at the corner of his mouth deepened.
"I cannot descend to the mortal realm; the God King of Destruction is watching me closely right now. This sliver of divine consciousness was left inside this Dark Demon Evil God Tiger beforehand."
Tang San paused, then explained, "I went to some lengths to create this experimental subject, borrowing a few things from an old acquaintance. It has a few more variations than the original version, which happens to suit you perfectly."
Tang An put on the look of a curious child: "An experimental subject? Big Brother, what is the difference between this one and the original Dark Demon Evil God Tiger?"
Tang San paused, his tone becoming more solemn: "In this reshaping, all the original abilities have been retained. Life Reshaping, Six Attribute Origin, Evil Demon Transformation, Energy Devouring—everything that should be there is there."
"However, during the reshaping process, I focused on strengthening its power over time and space."
Tang An's eyes lit up: "Big Brother, how much was it strengthened?"
"As for the power of time, the original could only be used to rewind an opponent, acting as a single-target suppression skill. Now, it is different."
Tang San raised his hand, a point of silver light igniting at his fingertip. "You can actively control the flow of time, accelerating yourself or slowing down your opponent. The amplification will increase continuously along with your cultivation."
"The same goes for the power of space."
The silver light at Tang San's fingertip turned a deep, ghostly blue.
"The original could only open up a different dimension to drag people into the Life and Death Arena. Now, you can actively tear through space to perform short-range teleportation and spatial cutting."
"Although the teleportation distance is currently only about a hundred zhang, it requires no preparation and can be triggered at will. The power of the spatial cutting depends on your own strength. You should possess both of these abilities after obtaining your spirit ring."
Tang An asked the most critical question: "What about the Evil God Origin?"
"It cannot be removed."
Tang San said candidly, "Although the power of the Evil God is malevolent, its quality is extremely high. It comes from a plane that even the God Realm Committee fears. It might be of great use to you in the future."
After listening, Tang An was deeply shocked, unable to help but sigh, Third Brother is truly good. This grand gift was indeed substantial; he only hoped that his big brother would not lead himself astray in the future.
Once Tang San finished speaking, he raised his hand and pressed it onto the forehead of the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger.
The Dark Demon Evil God Tiger let out a terrified low growl, wanting to struggle, but it was pinned down, unable to move, by Tang San's divine power.
A stream of golden divine power surged from Tang San's palm, precisely pouring into the body of the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger, directly shattering the final barrier of its age limit.
The origin of the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger underwent a qualitative change in that instant. A crimson hundred-thousand-year spirit ring slowly rose from its body, its light brilliant and its pressure as heavy as a mountain.
Unlike a normal hundred-thousand-year spirit ring, this ring was entwined with layers of patterns: pale golden Sea God divine power runes, silver-white space-time dual-attribute patterns, and a dark red Evil God Origin Mark. The three powers shone in harmony, faintly emitting an aura that made the very void tremble.
"Xiao An, circulate the Crimson Annihilation Hammer." Tang San's voice arrived.
