The Evil God carefully sensed it before looking at Tang San. "My power has been stirred on Douluo Continent."

"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 arriving in the God Realm, he had never left, which was why he was so sure he had not been there.

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

He was quick-witted and soon thought of a possibility. "It should be the power left behind by the previous Evil God that was stirred."

As soon as he said this, the Evil God felt enlightened. That explained it.

"Do you know what power was stirred?" Tang San asked, clearly concerned about this.

After all, the power had been stirred 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 established by my teacher has been activated."

The teacher he spoke of was the previous Evil God. Out of gratitude for the other man passing the divine position to him, he addressed him as 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, right?"

"I killed the last Dark Demon Evil God Tiger ten thousand years ago. In other words, the one who activated the Life and Death Arena was 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 astonished. He stared at the Evil God for a while, as though 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 there was still another Dark Demon Evil God Tiger. How was that possible?

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

"It is indeed a Dark Demon Evil God Tiger. With the memories my teacher passed on to me, I cannot have sensed it wrongly," the Evil God said.

"Project the situation 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 divine power and projected the scene inside the Life and Death Arena.

The three looked toward the light screen a short distance ahead. The scene displayed within was precisely that of the Life and Death Arena.

At this moment, the enormous Yi Yi had already driven the Evil God Hook into the Deep Sea Demon Whale's body.

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

With the Deep Sea Demon Whale's death, a notification announcing the outcome sounded within the Life and Death Arena.

The bodies of Yi Yi and the Deep Sea Demon Whale both began to turn illusory, soon disappearing 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, shouldn't it?" Tang San said slowly after watching.

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

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

"That truly was not easy," the Evil God said with feeling.

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 about to break through to a hundred thousand years, he felt gratified and greatly anticipated its further growth.

"It was not easy, but its existence will make things far harder for other soul beasts," Tang San said meaningfully.

The Evil God looked at Tang San, who looked back at him 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 lead it to devour many soul beasts, which went against the natural order.

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

Tang San gave the Evil God a deep look, then said with a light smile, "In that case, let nature take its course."

"The soul beasts it can activate the Life and Death Arena against are certainly not low in cultivation."

"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 together whether this Dark Demon Evil God Tiger can overcome this ordeal. Only if it does will it have a future."

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

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

An orange soul ring floated out of 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 concern itself with the Deep Sea Demon Whale's body for the moment. Instead, it began absorbing the orange soul ring first.

The Deep Sea Demon Whale had been killed directly by it, and most of the energy within its body had gathered in this soul ring.

Absorbing this soul ring meant absorbing more than five hundred thousand years of its cultivation.

Yi Yi's Evil God Hook touched the energy-form soul ring, frantically absorbing its energy.

A huge 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 the soul ring's energy, converting more than two hundred thousand years of cultivation.

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

The energy required for this final year of growth was considerable. Only after Yi Yi had absorbed over four hundred thousand years' worth of the soul ring's energy did that final year increase.

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 heavens grew even darker.

Lightning flickered within the dark clouds, and a web of electricity silently spread through them. Sparks flashed, radiating an intense aura of destruction.

Yi Yi stopped absorbing the soul ring's energy and looked up at the lightning in the sky, its expression turning hostile.

The heavenly lightning was gathering strength, its momentum becoming increasingly terrifying. It was clearly intent on destroying 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 withstand.

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

Yi Yi let out a roar. Balls of dark energy appeared around its body as it unleashed Dark Demonic Evil Thunder, meeting the lightning head-on.

The first bolt was blocked. 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, which posed no threat to it.

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