You Still Say You Aren't the Child of Destiny!

A resounding boom echoed alongside a burst of white light that rippled outward in all directions. Wild power spread out with the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger at the center, leaving the area—which was already a mess from the battle between the two beasts—in an even more ruined state, with some flowers, grass, and trees even completely obliterated by the shockwave.

As the dust cleared, the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger lay battered in the huge crater. The bones across its entire body seemed broken, covered in blood, and even its Evil God Wings and Evil God Hook were nearly torn apart, with only tiny stubs still attached to its body.

The Dark Demon Evil God Tiger struggled, wanting to raise its head to clearly see the figure who had ambushed it, but it failed to stand up entirely. Even moving a fraction took immense effort.

"Chen'er, come quickly. Hurry and give it the final blow, or it's going to die."

Long Xiaoyao looked at the dying Dark Demon Evil God Tiger below and spoke to Xu Tianchen, who was standing far away. Earlier, fearing that his skills wouldn't leave it heavily injured, he had even activated a double amplification, but he hadn't expected to still hit too hard.

If he hadn't pulled back some of his strength at the end, coupled with whatever unknown skill it had used to form a black protective shield, this rare Dark Demon Evil God Tiger would have been beaten to death by him right then and there.

"I'm coming."

With that, Xu Tianchen pulled a custom-made soul guide ray gun that Kong Deming had given him out of his storage ring and took aim at the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger.

As a ray carrying destructive attributes shot out from the muzzle and accurately pierced its brain, this formidable Dark Demon Evil God Tiger thus fell at the hands of someone it hadn't even managed to see.

Xu Tianchen walked over to the giant tiger's corpse, looking at its eyes filled with intense resentment—eyes that refused to close even in death.

Xu Tianchen stood in front of the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger's corpse, waiting. He was waiting for that inner core.

As the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger's spirit ring formed above its body, a bizarre bead quietly materialized. It was a bead that looked pitch-black all over, yet emanated both cyan and blue radiances.

The moment Xu Tianchen saw the bead, he shouted to Long Xiaoyao, "Teacher, strike!"

Simultaneously, he summoned the Rank-8 Soul Tool—Sealing Box, which he had already placed in his hand. This was a sealing-type Rank-8 Soul Tool, and in terms of containment effect, it was definitely no weaker than a Rank-9 Soul Tool. He had specifically retrieved it from the imperial treasury.

Long Xiaoyao directly waved his large hand, and dense soul power carrying a dark aura blocked the bead's intended path toward the black hole not far ahead.

Meanwhile, the Sealing Box also appeared above the bead, and a wave of suction surged from the box toward it. At first, the bead was still fighting back desperately, struggling hard to break free from Long Xiaoyao's soul power restraints and fly toward the black hole to escape this place.

Yet everything was in vain. As the large hand formed by Long Xiaoyao's soul power pushed it firmly upward, the bead was steadily sucked into the box, finally flying back into Xu Tianchen's hand.

"What is this thing? Is it worth you valuing it this much?"

Long Xiaoyao watched Xu Tianchen treasure this bead so deeply, and could not help feeling a bit curious.

"This can be considered the inner core of this Dark Demon Evil God Tiger. It's an absolute heavyweight treasure!"

Xu Tianchen stored the Sealing Box into his soul tool and said to Long Xiaoyao. The sixty-thousand-year Dark Demon Evil God Tiger inner core from ten thousand years ago had created Zhou Weiqing, a top-tier First-Level God.

Long Xiaoyao nodded and said nothing more. He was merely curious about what it was, and getting the answer was enough; he didn't care particularly about other things.

"Alright, I'm going to absorb this spirit ring. Master, guard me."

Xu Tianchen walked over to the black spirit ring carrying a heavy aura, crossed his legs, and sat down. He released his Purple Radiance Annihilating Heaven Dragon martial soul, and accompanied by a dragon roar, one yellow and two purple spirit rings emerged around him, dense destructive auras swirling about his entire body.

With a thought from Xu Tianchen, that profound spirit ring directly settled onto his body. This top-tier spirit ring originating from the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger could be said to be something countless assault-type spirit masters dreamed of.

Xu Tianchen wasn't worried either. He had tested it previously: his current mental power had reached the level of a Soul Sage close to a Soul Douluo. When paired with the Dominating Domain, unless someone possessed mental power exceeding the Title Douluo level, they wouldn't even think of harming him.

Vast soul power continuously gushed out from the spirit ring, finally rushing into Xu Tianchen's meridians. Because this Dark Demon Evil God Tiger was no ordinary spirit beast, relying on its powerful bloodline, the soul power contained within this spirit ring far exceeded the soul power stored in a normal twenty-thousand-year spirit ring.

Fortunately, his physical body was extremely formidable, coupled with the assistance of his external spirit bone, making his soul power absorption process exceptionally smooth.

Yet he didn't forget that compared to ordinary, standard spirit rings, the greatest test of a ten-thousand-year spirit ring was—Soul Shock!

Let alone the fact that this Dark Demon Evil God Tiger possessed such high intelligence, and its mental power was likewise not low. In Xu Tianchen's view, this time would definitely be much more intense than that with the Void-Devouring Hou.

As the remnant soul of the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger appeared within the sea of spirit, Xu Tianchen's mental body also entered it.

The moment Xu Tianchen entered the sea of spirit, the dazzling sun hanging high above the sea of spirit blazed brilliantly, casting golden light directly onto the remnant soul of the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger and producing a sizzling sound.

Xu Tianchen's mental body struck straight at the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger's remnant soul, but the moment his attack connected, he realized that this remnant soul felt somewhat like a superficial show—it was very weak.

Yet he quickly thought of that bead. The Dark Demon Evil God Tiger must have placed the vast majority of its remnant soul into it, which was why its soul shock was so effortless.

Meanwhile, seeing that Xu Tianchen's process of absorbing the spirit ring was gradually entering a smooth phase, Long Xiaoyao nodded as well. Afterward, his gaze shifted to the somewhat dilapidated corpse of the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger lying on the ground, wanting to see if this could yield another spirit bone.

Regrettably, it left him disappointed: this Dark Demon Evil God Tiger had actually not produced any spirit bone.

Actually, this was normal. The entire essence of this Dark Demon Evil God Tiger was gathered in its inner core and that spirit ring, leaving naturally no surplus origin power to condense into a spirit bone.

Long Xiaoyao shook his head and sighed, then turned his gaze to the corpse of the Dark Demon Evil God Bear nearby. Because it had been dead for quite a long time, the fifty-thousand-year spirit ring produced by this Dark Demon Evil God Bear had already dissipated, which was somewhat regrettable.

The bear paws of this Dark Demon Evil God Bear were an absolute delicacy—not only rich in flavor, but also full of texture.

However, the moment he placed his hands on it, he was startled, then turned his head to look at Xu Tianchen, who was closing his eyes to absorb the spirit ring. He still said he wasn't the child of destiny!

Another spirit bone had just been produced here!

He directly channeled soul power to coat the Dark Demon Evil God Bear's right arm, yanked his hand backward, and a complete right arm bone tore through the flesh, bursting forth to float right in front of Long Xiaoyao.

It was merely a right arm bone, lacking the palm portion.

Long Xiaoyao felt somewhat disappointed. Although the fifty-thousand-year Dark Demon Evil God Bear right arm bone was similarly extremely precious, it still couldn't compare to the palm bones. After all, the most precious part of a Dark Demon Evil God Bear was undoubtedly its pair of sharp Dark Gold Terrorclaws.

Forget it. He would just give it to Chen'er to arrange for himself as soon as Chen'er finished absorbing the spirit ring. Long Xiaoyao thought as he looked at the spirit bone in his hand.

In truth, compared to this spirit bone, he cared much more about the two pairs of bear paws.

Thus, he directly formed his hand into a blade and sliced gently through the air. The left and right bear paws of the Dark Demon Evil God Bear were severed clean at the shoulders, with hardly any blood flowing from the wounds.

Just as he finished tidying up the spirit bone and the two bear paws, storing them into his soul tool, Snake Shadow—who had gone off to track the whereabouts of the Soul-Eating Spider King—returned.
