The Evil God sensed carefully for a moment before looking at Tang San. "On Douluo Continent, my power has been stirred."

"Douluo Continent? Have you been there?" the Good God asked in surprise.

Tang San was also somewhat surprised. He looked at the Evil God questioningly, wanting to know whether he had been there.

"No, I have never been to Douluo Continent." The Evil God shook his head, his tone certain.

Ever since coming to the God Realm, he had never left, which was why he was so certain that he had not been there.

"You've never been to Douluo Continent, yet you sensed your power there..." Tang San pondered.

His mind was sharp, and he quickly thought of a possibility. "It should be power left behind by the previous Evil God that has been activated."

Those words gave the Evil God a sudden realization. That explanation made sense.

"Do you know what power was activated?" Tang San asked. He was rather concerned about this.

After all, the activated power was on Douluo Continent. He needed to figure out what was happening there.

The Evil God did not answer immediately. He sensed again before saying, "The Life and Death Arena created by my teacher has been activated."

The teacher he spoke of was the previous Evil God. Because he was grateful that the man had passed the divine position to him, he addressed him as his teacher.

"The Life and Death Arena?" Tang San froze for a moment, and memories related to the arena quickly surfaced in his mind.

"I remember that aside from you and your teacher, only the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger could activate the Life and Death Arena."

"The last Dark Demon Evil God Tiger was killed by me ten thousand years ago. In other words, was the one who activated the Life and Death Arena your teacher?"

"No." The Evil God shook his head. Looking at Tang San, he said with a strange expression, "It was the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger."

"The Dark Demon Evil God Tiger?" Tang San was stunned. He stared at the Evil God for a while, as if asking, Are you sure?

After entering the God Realm, he had specifically asked the previous Evil God about it. According to him, the one Tang San had killed was the last Dark Demon Evil God Tiger.

Yet now, the Evil God was telling him that another Dark Demon Evil God Tiger existed. How was that possible?

The previous Evil God had no reason to lie to him. Could he have remembered wrongly? Could there really be another Dark Demon Evil God Tiger in this world?

"It truly is a Dark Demon Evil God Tiger. I have the memories passed down to me by my teacher, so I cannot be mistaken," the Evil God said.

"Project the scene inside the Life and Death Arena," Tang San said after pondering for a moment.

"Alright." The Evil God did not object. He immediately drew upon his divine power and projected the scene within the Life and Death Arena.

The three of them looked toward the light screen not far before them. The scene displayed within was precisely that of the Life and Death Arena.

At that moment, the enormous Yi Yi had already stabbed its Evil God Hook into the body of the Deep Sea Demon Whale.

The Deep Sea Demon Whale struggled violently, but its movements soon weakened. In the end, it stopped struggling altogether, its life extinguished.

As the Deep Sea Demon Whale died, a notification announcing the winner and loser sounded within the Life and Death Arena.

The bodies of Yi Yi and the Deep Sea Demon Whale became illusory and quickly vanished from the Life and Death Arena.

The light screen before Tang San and the God of Destruction remained, but the two soul beasts were no longer visible within it.

"This Dark Demon Evil God Tiger should be close to reaching a hundred thousand years, right?" Tang San said slowly after watching.

He was astonished. He had not expected there to be another Dark Demon Evil God Tiger in the world, much less one whose cultivation was nearly at a hundred thousand years.

With his discerning eye, Tang San could judge its approximate age merely from the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger's size.

"That truly wasn't easy," the Evil God said with deep emotion.

The Dark Demon Evil God Tiger had been closely connected to his teacher and could be considered half his teacher's child.

Seeing that the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger was nearly breaking through to a hundred thousand years, he felt gratified and looked forward to its further growth.

"It wasn't easy, but its existence will make things far more difficult for other soul beasts," Tang San said meaningfully.

The Evil God looked at Tang San, who returned his gaze with profound meaning in his eyes, seemingly waiting for him to make a decision.

"Let nature take its course. There is no need for us to forcibly end its life," the Evil God said after thinking it over.

He understood that Tang San believed the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger's existence would result in it devouring many soul beasts, thus harming the balance of nature.

But this was, after all, a soul beast connected to his teacher. He could not bear to step in and end its life.

Tang San gave the Evil God a deep look, then smiled lightly. "Then let nature take its course."

"Any soul beast that can make it activate the Life and Death Arena to deal with it must have a considerable age."

"After devouring that Deep Sea Demon Whale, it should be enough for it to break through to a hundred thousand years. Next, it will have to face the Lightning Tribulation."

"Let us see whether this Dark Demon Evil God Tiger can overcome this trial. Only if it survives will it have a future."

As he spoke, Tang San took out his Sea God Trident. Drawing upon the divine artifact's power, he projected the scene where Yi Yi was located.

Over the sea, the slain Deep Sea Demon Whale had already reverted to its original form. Its body, more than one hundred and fifty meters long, was sinking toward the seabed.

An orange Soul Ring floated from its body. The age represented by this Soul Ring was not one hundred thousand years, but more than five hundred thousand years.

Yi Yi did not attend to the Deep Sea Demon Whale's body for now. Instead, it began absorbing the orange Soul Ring.

The Deep Sea Demon Whale had been directly killed by it, so most of the energy within its body had gathered in this Soul Ring.

Absorbing this Soul Ring meant absorbing its cultivation of more than five hundred thousand years.

Yi Yi's Evil God Hook touched the energy-form Soul Ring and frantically absorbed its energy.

A massive amount of energy poured into its body and was rapidly converted into its cultivation. Its age was rising.

More than an hour later, Yi Yi had absorbed nearly half of the Soul Ring's energy, taking in and converting more than two hundred thousand years of cultivation.

Yi Yi's age had thus reached ninety-nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine years, only a single step away from one hundred thousand years.

The energy required for that final year's increase was immense. Only after Yi Yi had absorbed more than four hundred thousand years' worth of the Soul Ring's energy did that final year rise.

Yi Yi successfully transformed from a Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Beast into a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast, completing a metamorphosis.

After breaking through to one hundred thousand years, the energy fluctuations Yi Yi emitted were far more powerful than before, carrying immense pressure.

Boom! Thunder rumbled through the sky. The already dim sky grew even darker.

Lightning flickered within the dark clouds, while a layer of electric web silently spread across them. Sparks flashed, radiating an intense aura of Destruction.

Yi Yi stopped absorbing the Soul Ring's energy and raised its head toward the lightning in the sky, its expression turning hostile.

The heavenly lightning was gathering strength, its aura becoming increasingly terrifying. It was clearly poised to destroy Yi Yi.

Yi Yi was also adjusting its condition. The previous battle had left it in poor shape, and the coming Lightning Tribulation would not be easy to handle.

Boom! The first bolt of lightning crashed down. The pale purple lightning was several meters thick, with countless branching bolts spreading from it.

Yi Yi let out a roar as balls of dark energy appeared around its body. It activated the Dark Demonic Evil Thunder skill and met the lightning head-on.

The first bolt was blocked, but the second followed immediately, several times more terrifying than the first.

Yi Yi continued using its skills to resist. It easily blocked the first few bolts, and they posed no threat to it.

Each bolt of lightning was more terrifying than the last. By the seventh, its destructive power was already several times greater than that of the first.
