Life and Death Arena

A brilliant burst of black light erupted, transforming into a massive black hole three meters across.

An enormous suction force came from the black hole in an instant, pulling the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger, Three Ya Golden Lion, and Han Yu inside together.

"Auspicious Beast!"

"Han Yu!"

"Awooo!"

Just before Han Yu fell into darkness, he heard only the Scarlet King and Tang Hao shouting anxiously, followed by the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger's anguished cry.

Everything around him sank into darkness, like a leaf floating in a river.

Suddenly, light filled the surroundings. Han Yu felt a soft lump beneath him, and before he could figure out what it was, the soft thing spoke up, sounding a little angry.

"Little human, how long are you going to keep squashing me?"

The voice sounded rather childish, unlike the Three-Eyed Golden Lion's girlish voice from before. Han Yu raised an eyebrow and got up to look around, feeling utterly helpless.

I was careless. I didn't expect the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger to be able to use the Death and Life Arena even under the Scarlet King's oppressive presence.

"Where is this?"

The Three-Eyed Golden Lion, who had shrunk once again, saw stars. The Soul Beast looked even more like a round little ball. The childish voice that came from her mouth startled her into instinctively raising her short arms to cover it, but they couldn't reach her mouth at all. She rolled twice on the ground before she saw the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger baring his teeth at them across from her and realized what had happened.

Han Yu was stroking the God Tree before him, lost in thought. He had only just realized that his body had returned to the age he had been when he finished absorbing the Blue Silver Emperor Soul Bone, and he had subconsciously released the God Tree.

The God Tree was no more than five meters tall, barely as thick as an adult's waist. Each of its two branches had a Martial Soul embedded in it, and five black Soul Rings enveloped an area two meters around the tree. That was why the human and the beast could still move.

"What's this?"

The round little Three-Eyed Golden Lion toddled over to the God Tree and examined it, then asked Han Yu curiously.

Han Yu merely shook his head and gave no answer.

Compared to the two of them, the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger was even more astonished. After arriving in the arena, his entire body had been immobilized, leaving him unable to move an inch, but the human and the beast opposite him seemed unaffected by the restriction.

Just then, a strange voice rang out from every direction. It seemed to stutter for a moment before continuing.

"Welcome to the Life and Death Arena. One side must die. Only when one side remains can this battle of life and death end and the surviving side leave this space. Countdown: five, four, three, two, one, begin."

The instant the countdown ended, the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger sprang backward. He stared at the God Tree protecting the two of them, his scarlet eyes full of apprehension.

His body was not in very good condition. Although his strength remained at the level of a Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Beast, and even his body had shrunk somewhat, the Scarlet King had struck him a vicious blow on the back as he entered the space, leaving him able to use only half his strength.

But however apprehensive he was, the God Tree paid no heed. The instant the countdown ended, countless glowing threads emerged from it and snaked toward him.

The Dark Demon Evil God Tiger was startled. Using the power of the wind attribute, he dodged nimbly again and again.

"Stop, stop, stop!"

Feeling his Soul Power draining at an incredible rate, Han Yu hastily willed the God Tree back into his body.

There was no Blue Silver Grass in this space, and he couldn't use the Blue Silver Domain either. At the God Tree's extravagant rate of expenditure, his Soul Power would surely be drained before it could bring down the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger.

"Huh? Why did you put it away?"

The Three-Eyed Golden Lion was getting anxious. Still immature, she slammed her round head into Han Yu's backside. How could an attack like that possibly work? Han Yu merely scratched his backside and rolled his eyes at her before explaining.

"My Soul Power can't keep up with the way it fights."

The Three-Eyed Golden Lion gave this some serious thought, then nodded emphatically, her wise eyes full of approval for Han Yu.

"That sounds right. What do we do now?"

Although the Three-Eyed Golden Lion was already around five thousand years old, she had never been outside and was as innocent as a blank sheet of paper. She couldn't figure out how to fight; she had lived in pampered comfort since she was little. Besides, the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger had used most of his power of time on her, reducing her to a little Auspicious Beast that could do nothing but act cute.

"How about you let him swallow you? Then I can get out."

To the Three-Eyed Golden Lion's surprise, while she watched him expectantly, Han Yu lowered his head and thought for a moment before looking seriously at her round body and speaking.

"Get lost! You're the one who should be eaten!!"

Realizing what he meant, the Three-Eyed Golden Lion jumped up in a furious attempt to ram Han Yu's knee, only for him to scoop her into his arms and stroke her beautiful scales. In the blink of an eye, she found it rather comfortable. She nuzzled her round head into his embrace and let out a series of little grunts like a piglet.

The Dark Demon Evil God Tiger watched it all. After the God Tree was recalled, he had stood at a distance, carefully observing the human and the beast, only to find that the two seemed to pay him no mind at all. Furious, he lunged at them, crossing the distance in just a few breaths. His sharp claws radiated a chill as he swiped straight down at Han Yu's head.

Although Han Yu had been playing around with the Three-Eyed Golden Lion in his arms, he had activated his Sharingan the moment the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger moved. His eyes, glowing faintly red, caught every part of the tiger's attack. He shifted his feet and turned, dodging it.

Before the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger's attack had even ended, Han Yu gripped the Clear Sky Hammer in the blink of an eye as he turned. Holding the Three-Eyed Golden Lion with his left arm, he swung the hammer viciously at the tiger with his right hand.

The Dark Demon Evil God Tiger sensed the wind behind him and unleashed the full power of his wind attribute through his pitch-black body. Using the momentum of his forward pounce, he narrowly dodged, rolled across the ground, then turned and lunged at Han Yu again, only to discover that a stalk of Blue Silver Grass had grown beside him at some point.

Blue light shimmered across the Blue Silver Emperor as countless vines surged out from her, shooting straight toward the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger while he was still lunging through the air.

Han Yu put the Three-Eyed Golden Lion down beside the Blue Silver Emperor, gripped the Clear Sky Hammer in both hands, and recalled Tang Hao's peculiar method of exerting force. Then he smashed the hammer into the head of the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger, who was bound in Blue Silver Grass.

The Dark Demon Evil God Tiger roared in pain from the blow to his head, his scarlet eyes full of panic. He tried to use the momentum to break free, but under the Blue Silver Emperor's relentless assault of vines, he could not escape.

All he could do was take blow after blow from the Clear Sky Hammer in Han Yu's hands, right to the face.

A recommendation for a newly released Douluo Continent novel.

Invincible in Douluo from the Moment of Transmigration.

[Genius protagonist, multiple female leads, invincible, lots of original plot, the protagonist is not a good person, and he does not follow Shrek or Spirit Hall.]
