Everyone reined in their power, stopping short of annihilating the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger completely.
They merely beat it within an inch of its life, leaving it unable to rise again, ready for Ye Guixu to claim its head.
After all, in the Douluo World, only a Soul Master who landed the killing blow could absorb the Soul Ring.
At the same time, Ye Guixu merged a piece of Void Profound Ice into the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger's body, and its aura surged severalfold.
Before it could even show its wild delight-
Squelch.
An enormous black-and-gold claw plunged into its chest, then yanked back out.
It clutched a heart that was still beating.
The Dark Demon Evil God Tiger stared blankly at the pitch-black armor before it. The light in its eyes rapidly scattered, then finally went out entirely.
Its massive body crashed to the ground, blood staining the earth red.
A pitch-black Soul Ring slowly rose from the corpse.
Ye Guixu casually handed the heart to Yan Lingji and sat down cross-legged.
The piece of Void Profound Ice inserted just before its death had tripled all of the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger's attributes.
That meant the Soul Ring before him contained three times the energy of a normal Dark Demon Evil God Tiger.
Darkness that seemed capable of swallowing even light radiated from his body, swallowing the Soul Ring into him completely as he began refining it.
A black pearl the size of a table tennis ball emerged from the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger's corpse, attempting to tear through space and escape.
Even stronger darkness erupted from within Ye Guixu. Like a black hole from which even light could not escape, it swallowed the pearl and merged it into his body.
The Dark Demon Evil God Tiger's six attributes-darkness, evil, wind, lightning, time, and space-surged wildly within him.
The soul's resentment within the Evil God Pearl attacked his Spiritual Sea, only to be utterly devoured by endless darkness.
The Puppet Dark Demon Evil God Tiger and Puppet Sauron walked to his side, their eyes flashing scarlet as they poured their own power of the same origin into him without cease.
Terrifying power flooded into him like rivers and seas bursting their banks, tempering his physique.
With a thunderous boom,
Dark red power erupted from Ye Guixu's body, blasting the exhausted Puppet Dark Demon Evil God Tiger dozens of meters back.
Only Puppet Sauron released dark light, frantically devouring the erupting power to replenish himself.
Ye Guixu's aura climbed steadily.
41, 42, 43, 44, 45... finally breaking through to level 50.
The compression of the five ultimate attributes was utterly terrifying, but the energy of two Dark Demon Evil God Tigers strengthened threefold, combined with Puppet Sauron, was simply too vast.
Even after forcibly pushing him to level 50, a great deal of residual energy remained accumulated within him, awaiting its next eruption.
Ye Guixu slowly rose and clenched both fists. With a metallic clang, his black-and-gold claws distorted even space.
"As expected of the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger, whose power matches mine. My ultimate attributes have begun to transform."
Yan Lingji and Tide Siren stepped forward to congratulate him. "Congratulations on your great increase in strength, Master."
Ye Guixu nodded and dismissed his armor, revealing his current appearance.
Four consecutive Soul Rings beyond his limit, coupled with the scouring power of two Dark Demon Evil God Tigers, had fully matured his body. He now stood 1.89 meters tall.
His eyes, however, had undergone an even greater mutation.
His left eye resembled a black hole, swallowing even light completely.
His right eye resembled a white hole, holding endless vitality.
When those eyes looked upon the two women, they felt as though two hands of heaven were squeezing them from either side, making even their souls tremble.
At the sight of those familiar eyes, their bodies shuddered.
They were back-the Pupils of Doomsday.
Ye Guixu turned his head, and a streak of white light flashed through his left eye. The Puppet Dark Demon Evil God Tiger, whose power had been completely exhausted, instantly had its Soul Power reverted, returning to its peak condition.
"Your might is divine, Master." Yan Lingji watched him with burning eyes.
Having finished testing his newly acquired external soul bone, Ye Guixu was very satisfied.
After devouring the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger's Evil God Pearl, he had acquired all of its skills.
Life and Death Arena, Dark Demon Evil Thunder, Evil God Hook, Evil God's Protection, and Evil Wind Blade.
At the same time, under the scouring power of two Dark Demon Evil God Tigers sharing the same origin, he had also acquired an external soul bone:
Doomsday Twin Pupils.
Right-Eye Black Hole: governed death, collapse, and annihilation. Destruction Dark Light, Spacetime Freeze, Origin Insight, coercion, State Reversion. Left-Eye White Hole: governed life, creation, and reconstruction. Revitalizing White Light, Trajectory Prediction, Spatial Reconstruction, Pupil Weapon Manifestation, Creation Repair. Twin pupils united, Doomsday Mode. Doomsday Heaven and Earth, Doomsday Judgment.
This time, his Martial Soul domain had also fully awakened.
Domain: Void Doomsday. Guixu Suppression: increased all attributes by 300%, suppressed all enemy attributes by 50%, and increased all allied attributes by 100%. The black hole devoured all energy, increasing enemies' Soul Power consumption tenfold within the domain. White Hole Echo: devoured energy was converted through the white hole and channeled into the user, healing injuries, restoring Soul Power, and increasing attack by 200%. Black Hole Prohibition: prohibited all spatial displacement, time reversion, invincibility, and invisibility skills. Doomsday Judgment: every attack carried the law of annihilation, ignoring all defenses, shields, elemental resistances, and invincibility states.
His fourth Soul Ring had unexpectedly strengthened under the support of the two Dark Demon Evil God Tigers' power of the same origin. It was no longer the black of a ten-thousand-year soul beast, but the scarlet unique to a hundred-thousand-year soul beast.
Fourth Soul Skill: Guixu. Passively increased all attributes by 300%. Recorded a point in time. Upon activation, regardless of the user's condition, instantly restored the user to the peak condition recorded at that moment. Cooldown: half an hour. Consuming Soul Power could shorten the cooldown.
The terrifying domain, combined with abilities all encompassed by the properties of a black hole, was simply formidable.
Yet as he sensed the information about the abilities conveyed by the Doomsday Twin Pupils, he fell silent for a long time.
Wasn't this just the Double Pupils from Perfect World?
Life in the left eye, death in the right, seeing through falsehood, weapons nurtured within the pupils, the Double Pupils opening the heavens.
Every single one matched.
But upon closer thought, their essence was indeed the same.
The Double Pupils embodied the two energies of yin and yang, one destroying and one creating life.
His were a black hole and a white hole, one swallowing and one releasing.
A black hole was a pit in spacetime with infinite gravity, allowing entry but no exit, from which even light could not escape.
A white hole had properties completely opposite to a black hole, allowing only exit and no entry, like a fountain of the universe.
A white hole was also called a singularity of the universe.
The Big Bang itself might have been the birth of a supermassive white hole.
It erupted from that infinitely dense singularity, evolving into galaxies, stars, planets, and life.
A white hole symbolized creation on a cosmic scale.
Thus, its essence was the same as the yin and yang of the Double Pupils.
A black hole symbolized the end, while a white hole symbolized creation.
One destroyed and one created life, one swallowed and one released, forming a complete cycle.
What he had just released from his left eye onto the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger puppet was Revitalizing White Light.
The aspect of life.
And his right eye was reserved for his enemies.
The aspect of death.
It was simply terrifying beyond measure.
In the future, he too would be able to unleash a-
Doomsday Heaven and Earth!
"Master, you're level 50 now. Are you going to acquire another Soul Ring?"
Yan Lingji and Tide Siren asked.
"Of course."
"Once that's done, I want to drive a certain Haozi into a mental breakdown, then kick his head around like a ball."
After Ye Guixu came back to himself, a flash of scarlet light erupted within his black-and-white pupils.
