As long as you oppose God King Tang, we are good friends

Fortunately, Xiong Jun was only using the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger as a punching bag to vent his frustration; he had no intention of actually killing it.

This was to be Huo Yuhao's third soul ring.

If he dared to destroy a soul ring so perfectly suited to Huo Yuhao's martial soul, he would likely be the one lying there instead.

"Hoo~"

Having vented his anger, Xiong Jun let out a long breath, reverted to his human form, and walked over to Huo Yuhao.

"My Lord, you may now claim your soul ring."

"Many thanks."

Regardless of Xiong Jun's initial motives, he had indeed contributed to the acquisition of Huo Yuhao's third soul ring.

Huo Yuhao retrieved the dagger from his soul storage device and approached the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger, which was on the verge of death.

He looked at the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger with a smirk.

Still playing dead, are we?

Even after being beaten into such a miserable state by Xiong Jun, the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger had not used its trump card, the Life-Death Arena; it clearly had another target in mind.

If nothing else, that target was undoubtedly him.

Even if Xiong Jun had reverted to his juvenile form, the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger would still be no match for the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear.

But as a human, Huo Yuhao was different.

Although the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger had never left the Star Dou Great Forest, plenty of humans had entered it.

A six-year-old human who hadn't even awakened his martial soul yet.

Even if he had awakened it, so what? Could a human with a weak physique possibly be a match for the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger?

It could crush him with a single swipe!

Even though Huo Yuhao had guessed the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger's intentions, as long as he wanted its soul ring, entering the Life-Death Arena was unavoidable.

Therefore, when Huo Yuhao saw the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger's tail flick gently and a black speck of light appear between them, he felt no panic at all.

The White Tiger Dagger was a level-five soul tool, after all; it could absorb energy attacks and was exceptionally sharp. Coupled with the combat skills he had been trained in during this time, killing a juvenile Dark Demon Evil God Tiger would not be difficult.

The black light suddenly erupted, forming a massive black hole three meters in diameter that swallowed both the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger and Huo Yuhao.

They were surrounded by a dark space, and for a fleeting moment, it felt as though his body were undergoing some kind of change.

Before the change could even begin, the blood in his veins started to boil. Huo Yuhao felt only a slight discomfort, and then, he felt nothing at all.

The Bronze Gate located within his Sea of Spirit seemed to tremble as well.

Everything seemed to have changed, yet nothing seemed to have changed at all.

When Huo Yuhao could finally see his surroundings clearly, he was standing on a massive arena platform.

The area around them remained pitch black, with only the light emanating from the arena floor illuminating the space.

The Dark Demon Evil God Tiger, which had been gasping for breath and on the verge of death just moments ago, now showed no signs of injury whatsoever.

The Dark Demon Evil God Tiger's body, originally eight meters long, was now only a meter and a half. It looked somewhat cute, and even its tail had become that of an ordinary tiger, with the Evil God Hook at the tip appearing small and delicate.

Huo Yuhao took a grilled fish out of his soul storage device, held it in his hand, and waved it at the juvenile Dark Demon Evil God Tiger.

"Psst, psst, psst."

Dark Demon Evil God Tiger: "!!!"

It wasn't angry because Huo Yuhao was calling it like a cat or a dog, but because the Huo Yuhao in front of it hadn't changed at all!

Don't tell me you're actually only six years old!

"Not hungry? Fine, then."

He hadn't expected that even in another world, he still had no luck with cats!

Just then, a strange voice echoed from all directions.

"Welcome to the Life-Death Arena. The battle of life and death is about to begin. Only when one side dies can the survivor leave this space. Countdown: five, four, three, two, one, begin."

This voice brought the still-shocked Dark Demon Evil God Tiger back to its senses.

If he was truly only six years old, that meant he had always been a... weak...

Before the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger could even celebrate, it saw Huo Yuhao summon a dragon-shaped phantom.

His body grew taller, two small dragon horns sprouted from his forehead, and a formidable pressure descended, overwhelming the juvenile Dark Demon Evil God Tiger.

Dark Demon Evil God Tiger: "???"

What kind of monster had it dragged in here!

The Dark Demon Evil God Tiger couldn't help but tremble, but the thought that it would die in vain without taking anyone down with it fueled a frantic desperation. It pushed past the trembling of its soul and lunged at Huo Yuhao.

It knew there was no turning back; it had to fight to the death.

"BANG!!"

A heavy, powerful strike sent the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger flying.

The eyes of the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger cleared once more.

This shouldn't be how things played out!

Huo Yuhao curled his lip. I'm the one with the cheats here; you think I'd let you act so arrogant?

He didn't give the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger another chance to resist. Closing the distance, he drove the White Tiger Dagger in his hand—sharp enough to slice through iron like mud—straight into its skull.

With the death of the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger, the Life-Death Arena dissipated.

The surrounding space began to twist and shatter, and Huo Yuhao's figure reappeared in the Star Dou Great Forest, standing beside the corpse that had returned to its massive size.

Gu Yuena, who had been enraged and ready to intervene personally when Huo Yuhao vanished, saw him return safely, and the anger on her face finally dissipated.

Di Tian and the others had dealt with more than one Dark Demon Evil God Tiger, but the ability this one had displayed was something they were seeing for the first time.

It was a soul skill born from the fusion of the three laws of time, space, and evil; previous Dark Demon Evil God Tigers had been finished off long before they could master it.

Consequently, this was the first time Di Tian and his companions had ever witnessed such a soul skill.

Gu Yuena had been able to sense it through her mastery of the elements, and she had been on the verge of tearing the space apart herself when, unexpectedly, Huo Yuhao returned unscathed.

A deep, black soul ring slowly rose from the corpse of the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger.

Huo Yuhao did not rush to absorb it; his gaze was fixed on a bead floating above the carcass, pitch-black yet shimmering with cyan and blue light.

The black hole that had been sent out earlier had not yet vanished, and at this moment, it suddenly exerted a suction force, attempting to pull the bead away.

Before Huo Yuhao could act, Gu Yuena let out a displeased huff from the side.

With a grasp of her slender hand, an invisible force enveloped the black bead, and she easily claimed it.

Huo Yuhao looked at the bead in Gu Yuena's hand, a strange smile tugging at the corner of his mouth.

When God King Tang killed the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger, he had allowed this bead to be sucked away by the black hole.

The bead later fell into another world, where it was obtained by a youth named Zhou Weiqing.

The youth eventually became a god and served under the God of Destruction.

At a critical moment, he had even used the Heaven-Tier Battle Skill: Backstab to help God King Tang turn the tide of the battle.

Without the assistance of the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger's bead, Zhou Weiqing might have remained a good-for-nothing his entire life, let alone becoming a god.

Huo Yuhao didn't know much about the God King of Destruction, only that he and God King Tang were at odds.

That alone was enough!

As long as you are against God King Tang, then we are good friends!
