Rinnegan

After entering the Life and Death Arena and returning to childhood, Jun Yan did not panic in the slightest. Or rather, this was where he had wanted to come.

Wouldn't killing the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger outright and getting it over with be letting it off easy? To kill a person... to kill a tiger, one had to crush its heart. That was what Jun Yan wanted to do.

Jun Yan closed his eyes. When he opened them again, they had turned purple, with only a few concentric patterns surrounding their black pupils.

Though the eyes looked unremarkable, they possessed unimaginable power.

A trace of confusion appeared in the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger's furious gaze. A top-tier Soul Beast like it possessed intelligence almost equal to a human's.

As far as it knew, the person before it had a Martial Soul that controlled trees. How had he gained a pair of strange eyes as well?

But in its eagerness for revenge, it had no time to think. It immediately turned into a black shadow and pounced at Jun Yan in an instant.

A chilling light shone in its red tiger eyes, as though it already regarded Jun Yan as a dead man.

After all, how could a human child possibly fight a tiger cub?

"Limbo: Border Jail." Jun Yan murmured softly.

Bang-

The juvenile Dark Demon Evil God Tiger had still been in midair a moment ago. In the blink of an eye, it was sent flying.

"Roar?" The Dark Demon Evil God Tiger lowered its head and let out a cry. It had felt as though it had run into a wall, then been sent flying straight back.

With another bang, its tiger head jerked downward, as though someone had struck it with a heavy hammer. But there was clearly no one and no beast around!

From Jun Yan's perspective, of course, that was not what had happened. He could easily see two transparent shadows beating the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger senseless.

Limbo: Border Jail was an ability inherent to his Rinnegan.

He could use Limbo: Border Jail to split off his own "shadows." They could block an opponent's attacks for the original or launch surprise attacks, and he could summon up to four of them.

Ordinary people could neither see nor sense these shadows. Only those with the Rinnegan could see them, or those with exceptional perception could detect them.

In the past, his predecessor had followed his adoptive father's instructions and never studied the Rinnegan in depth, so he had not known about this ability. But after deliberately experimenting, Jun Yan had mastered the powerful skill.

This was also what gave Jun Yan the confidence to enter the Life and Death Arena and crush the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger's heart.

"Roar!" The tiger opposite him let out a low growl.

Amid its deep roar, streams of gray Qi began to emerge from the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger. They swirled and slowly condensed into a ball in front of it.

Dark Demon Evil Thunder. At its peak, it could have unleashed a vast barrage of such attacks at once, but as a cub, it could barely condense a single one even after exhausting all the Soul Power in its body.

The Dark Demon Evil God Tiger firmly believed that no human child could withstand this bolt of divine thunder, condensed from the power of evil.

Whoosh- The Dark Demon Evil Thunder shot forth and exploded in front of Jun Yan. Evil lightning scattered in all directions, crackling and sizzling.

"Whew!" The Dark Demon Evil God Tiger let out a long breath. The battle ought to be over.

Smack. Something struck the top of the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger's head again.

That's not right. The battle isn't over! A thought suddenly flashed through the tiger's heavily struck brain.

The evil thunder slowly faded into nothing, revealing the unharmed child behind it.

Jun Yan smiled confidently. "That should have been your last resort, shouldn't it?"

As he spoke, he split off two more shadows, and all four besieged the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger at once.

Although he himself had returned to the age of six, the Limbo: Border Jail space was unaffected. In other words, the four shadows were still at the Soul King level.

Four Soul Kings beat up a little tiger. The scene could only be described as brutal, and the crucial point was that the little tiger could not even fight back.

"How cruel!" Jun Yan turned his head away, unable to bear watching the scene before him any longer.

With a bang, one of the shadows smashed the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger's skull with a punch. No matter how unwilling it was to accept it, its life had passed beyond recovery.

Everything around him began to twist. All the space shattered in an instant, and endless darkness swept over him once more.

Light returned, and Jun Yan's body felt lighter. He felt solid ground beneath his feet again, and the power he had just lost returned to his body.

Not far in front of him lay the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger's enormous body.

A strange bead floated above its corpse. The bead was jet-black all over, yet it gave off both cyan and blue light.

Jun Yan reached out, and an invisible force drew the bead into his hand. With a turn of his hand, he put it into his Soul Tool.

Specks of black light condensed above the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger's corpse as though they were solid, eventually forming a deep black Soul Ring.

Judging by its color, Jun Yan determined that the Soul Ring should be between forty and fifty thousand years old.

By rights, a Soul Ring of that age was just right for Jun Yan to absorb. Moreover, a Soul Ring produced by a top-tier Soul Beast like the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger could also greatly reduce the shortcomings caused by an incompatible Soul Beast.

But Jun Yan had no intention of doing that. He steadied his mind and condensed his Soul Power.

Suddenly, a black dot appeared in his hand. As Soul Power continued to gather, his Rinnegan also released eye power. The black dot slowly grew thicker and longer, eventually becoming a black rod.

He then forcefully drove the black rod into the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger's corpse, causing a trace of Soul Power fluctuation to appear in the body, which had fallen silent in death.

This was the process of making a Six Paths Puppet with the Rinnegan. The black rod was a signal receiver used to control the puppet. The crafting process was somewhat complicated, but after mastering the Rinnegan, Jun Yan had naturally learned how to do it.

Jun Yan continued to condense black rods and drive them into the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger's corpse. Once the last rod went in, the body seemed to come back to life.

The Dark Demon Evil God Tiger opened its eyes. Its original tiger eyes had also become Rinnegan, identical to Jun Yan's.

"Now for the final step!"

Jun Yan beckoned to the Soul Ring above the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger. It slowly shrank and flew above his palm, and he pressed it forcefully onto the tiger's corpse.

A suction force suddenly emerged from the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger's body and drew the Soul Ring directly inside.

Emotion immediately returned to the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger's previously emotionless eyes. It scrambled to its feet almost at once and roared at Jun Yan.

Jun Yan picked at his ear and said mildly, "Sit."

The Dark Demon Evil God Tiger immediately sat down obediently. It realized something was wrong with it and tried to get up again, but it could not manage it at all.

Ignoring the tiger's defiance, Jun Yan took the bead from before out of his Soul Tool. This was the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger's life-bound bead, which contained most of his power.

Jun Yan pressed the bead against the top of the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger's head, and it slowly sank into its skull.

Thus, Animal Path: Dark Demon Evil God Tiger was born!
