As Long as You Oppose God King Tang, We're Friends

Fortunately, Xiong Jun had only used the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger as a punching bag to vent his anger. He hadn't actually intended to kill it.

This was Huo Yuhao's third Soul Ring.

If he dared to destroy a Soul Ring so perfectly suited to Huo Yuhao's Martial Soul, he'd probably be the one lying there.

"Phew~"

After beating the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger to his heart's content, Xiong Jun let out a long breath, changed back into human form, and walked over to Huo Yuhao.

"My lord, you can claim the Soul Ring now."

"Thank you."

Whatever Xiong Jun's original intentions had been, he had indeed helped Huo Yuhao obtain his third Soul Ring.

Huo Yuhao took the dagger from his Space Soul Tool and walked over to the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger, which was on the verge of death.

He gave the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger a look that was half amused, half knowing.

Still playing dead?

Even after Xiong Jun had beaten it into such a miserable state, the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger still hadn't used its trump card, the Life-Death Arena. Clearly, it had another goal.

And there was no doubt that goal was him.

Even if Xiong Jun had returned to his juvenile form, the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger still wouldn't have stood a chance against the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear.

But Huo Yuhao was a human. That was different.

The Dark Demon Evil God Tiger might never have left the Star Dou Great Forest, but plenty of people had entered it.

A six-year-old human hadn't even awakened his Martial Soul yet.

And so what if he had? Could a frail human possibly stand a chance against the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger?

It could slap him to death with one paw!

Even if Huo Yuhao had guessed what the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger was planning, as long as he wanted its Soul Ring, entering the Life-Death Arena was unavoidable.

So when Huo Yuhao saw the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger's tail flick slightly and a black speck of light appear between them, he didn't panic at all.

The White Tiger Dagger was a Level Five Soul Tool, after all. It could absorb energy attacks, was sharp enough, and, paired with the skills he'd trained over the past while, it would be no trouble to kill a juvenile Dark Demon Evil God Tiger.

The black light suddenly burst out, forming a vast black hole three meters across that swallowed both the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger and Huo Yuhao.

All around them was darkness. For a moment, it seemed as if something was about to change within his body.

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

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

It felt as though everything had changed, yet nothing had changed.

When Huo Yuhao could see clearly again, he was already standing on a huge platform.

Darkness still surrounded him. Only the light from the platform's surface illuminated the space.

The Dark Demon Evil God Tiger, which had been lying in front of Huo Yuhao, barely alive and seemingly on the verge of death, had now completely recovered from its injuries.

Its body, once eight meters long, was now no more than a meter and a half. It even looked rather cute. Its tail had become an ordinary tiger's tail, and the Evil God Hook at its tip looked small and delicate.

Huo Yuhao took a grilled fish from his Space Soul Tool and waved it at the juvenile Dark Demon Evil God Tiger.

"Here, kitty, kitty."

The Dark Demon Evil God Tiger: "!!!"

It wasn't angry because Huo Yuhao was calling it over like a cat or a dog. It was because Huo Yuhao himself hadn't changed at all!

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

"You don't want any? Fine, then."

Who'd have thought that even in another world, he still wouldn't have any luck with cats!

Just then, a strange voice rang out from all around them.

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

The voice brought the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger, still in shock, back to its senses.

If he was only six years old, that meant he'd always been a... weakling...

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

His body grew taller, and two small dragon horns sprouted from his forehead. A fearsome pressure swept over the juvenile Dark Demon Evil God Tiger.

The Dark Demon Evil God Tiger: "???"

What kind of monster had it dragged in here?!

The Dark Demon Evil God Tiger trembled uncontrollably. But when it thought that if it died, it would have died for nothing, without even taking someone down with it, a mad thought gave it the strength to resist the shudder in its soul. It lunged at Huo Yuhao.

It knew there was no way back. It could only fight to the death.

"Bang!!"

A heavy blow sent the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger flying.

The Dark Demon Evil God Tiger's eyes cleared once more.

This wasn't how things were supposed to go!

Huo Yuhao curled his lip. I've got cheats. What makes you think you can throw your weight around?

He gave the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger no chance to fight back. Closing in, he drove the White Tiger Dagger, sharp enough to cut through iron like mud, straight into its head.

With the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger dead, the Life-Death Arena dissolved.

The surrounding space twisted and shattered. Huo Yuhao reappeared in the Star Dou Great Forest, beside the corpse, which had returned to its enormous size.

When Huo Yuhao had disappeared, Gu Yuena had been so enraged that she was ready to intervene herself. Now that she saw him return safely, the anger on her face finally faded.

Di Tian and the others had dealt with more than one Dark Demon Evil God Tiger, but this was the first time any of them had seen one use this ability.

It was a Soul Skill created by the fusion of the three laws of time, space, and evil. The previous Dark Demon Evil God Tiger hadn't yet learned it before it was killed, so this was the first time Di Tian and the others had seen the skill.

Gu Yuena could sense something thanks to her control over the elements. She had been ready to tear this space apart herself, but she hadn't expected Huo Yuhao to return safely on his own.

A deep black Soul Ring slowly rose from the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger's corpse.

Huo Yuhao didn't rush to absorb it. Instead, he looked at the bead floating above the corpse. It was pitch-black, yet glimmered with both blue and green light.

The black hole that had opened earlier to send them away had yet to disappear. Now, it suddenly began pulling the bead toward it.

Before Huo Yuhao could act, Gu Yuena beside him gave an unhappy snort.

She closed her delicate hand, and an invisible force wrapped around the black bead. She picked it up with ease.

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

When Tang San killed the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger, he had let the black hole carry this bead away.

The bead had later landed in another world, where it was found by a boy named Zhou Weiqing.

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

At a crucial moment, he had used the Heaven-Tier Battle Skill: Backstab, helping Tang San turn the tide.

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

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

That alone was enough!

As long as you oppose God King Tang, we're friends!
