At the same time as The Dark Devilgod Tiger's corpse appeared, Su Wen returned unscathed to his original position.
"Is it over?"
The moment they noticed the change, Dugu Bo, Chen Xin, and Ning Fengzhi became alert. They breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing The Dark Devilgod Tiger's corpse and Su Wen intact.
The instant Su Wen returned, he released his Spiritual Power to lock onto The Dark Devilgod Tiger's corpse. As a strange black bead emitting cyan and blue light appeared, Su Wen immediately locked onto it.
He reached out to grab the bead.
However, the bead seemed incredibly spirited, evading Su Wen's hand and flying towards the side.
A crack opened in space, and the black bead seemed about to enter this rift.
Su Wen remained composed and unleashed his fifth Spirit Skill.
A vertical pupil appeared on his forehead, radiating a fluctuation of spatial power along with his eyes, conjuring an illusionary realm out of thin air.
The space crack in front of the bead seemed blocked, overshadowed by the arrival of another spatial domain and the black bead ended up entering Su Wen's Illusionary Realm.
With a casual gesture, Su Wen grabbed the black bead within the Illusionary Realm.
"It's quite similar to the Void Silver Moon Tapir," Su Wen muttered.
Is this a common trait among top-tier Spirit Beasts?
Geez, they have all sorts of tricks even in death.
The Void Silver Moon Tapir was one thing—after death, it integrated more residual souls into its Spirit Ring to retaliate against Su Wen, preparing to perish together.
But The Dark Devilgod Tiger was different; it directly integrated its own soul into this lifebound bead. As long as the bead escaped and its soul remained intact, it would have escaped calamity.
Su Wen furrowed his brows, recalling that in his previous life, when he read the protagonist fuse with the Pearl, there was no remnant soul of The Dark Devilgod Tiger involved.
"Could it be a special treatment for me?"
Thinking of his flamboyant demeanor in the Life and Death Arena, Su Wen nodded thoughtfully.
So, did this The Dark Devilgod Tiger foresee its inevitable death and make such preparations?
Indeed, there was a trace of the Evil God's power emanating at that time.
"No wonder it's a super-level Spirit Beast, completely illogical; it can even unleash its innate abilities in the Life and Death Arena."
Su Wen pocketed the lifebound bead of The Dark Devilgod Tiger and glanced at the recent spatial crack.
He used the Illusionary Realm to stabilize this crack.
He hadn't had time to feel the lifebound bead of The Dark Devilgod Tiger when he captured it earlier, but now Su Wen began to carefully examine it.
"Xiaowen, absorb the Spirit Ring as soon as possible," Ning Fengzhi reminded.
The recent battle had caused quite a stir.
Aside from the trouble of other human Spirit Masters coming to investigate, what was most worrying were the Titan Giant Ape and the Sky Azure Bull Python.
In the Star Dou Great Forest, these two were absolute tyrants.
With the dissipation of The Dark Devilgod Tiger's aura, these two tyrants would certainly come to investigate.
Su Wen remained unruffled.
He integrated his Spiritual Power into the power of space and permeated it through the spatial crack before him.
"Vast Continent."
He took a deep breath. Although he couldn't clearly sense the situation on the other side, he was certain it wasn't Douluo Land.
Retracting the Illusionary Realm, the spatial crack quickly returned to its original state.
Su Wen frowned as he looked at the lifebound bead of The Dark Devilgod Tiger in his hand.
This fellow seemed to possess coordinates leading to other dimensions.
After stowing away the lifebound bead, Su Wen then turned his gaze to the corpse of The Dark Devilgod Tiger.
A black Spirit Ring infused with a strong gray demonic power floated above its corpse.
Su Wen sat cross-legged, pulling the Spirit Ring to fit it onto himself.
Boom!
Within the Spirit Ring's Soul Power was a chilling aura, filled with extreme malice and intense unwillingness, thick resentment rooted within this Soul Power.
Perhaps influenced by this will, the Soul Power within The Dark Devilgod Tiger's Spirit Ring was exceptionally powerful, several times stronger than the impact of a Spirit Ring from the same year limit.
Simultaneously, a gray aura penetrated Su Wen's Sea of Consciousness.
Wave after wave of resentment continued to generate within Su Wen's Sea of Consciousness.
However, none of this had a significant impact on him.
Three days later.
Su Wen opened his eyes.
Absorbing The Dark Devilgod Tiger's Spirit Ring was much easier than he had imagined.
This also confirmed his speculation that The Dark Devilgod Tiger had used the power of the evil god at the last moment to merge his soul into the lifebound bead.
The remaining resentment in the Spirit Ring was almost non-existent, only symbolically impacting Su Wen's Sea of Consciousness, naturally unable to cause any pressure on Su Wen.
With surplus power on the spiritual level, even though the Soul Power in the Spirit Ring was mixed with various evil intentions, Su Wen quickly refined it.
"Roar!"
"Moo!"
Two voices carrying a terrifying sense of oppression resounded, causing Su Wen's expression to slightly change.
He looked towards the depths of the Star Dou Great Forest.
"The Titan Giant Ape and Sky Azure Bull Python!" Ning Fengzhi's face turned grave as he released his Martial Spirit, ready to amplify Chen Xin and Dugu Bo at any moment.
The two Titled Douluo hadn't fully recovered to their peak state yets.
Two massive figures appeared in the sky.
One was a gigantic black ape with a completely black body, with only its eyes emitting a yellowish crystal gloss, resembling a small mountain.
Next to the black ape stood a Spirit Beast with a bull's head and snake body, entirely black and cyan in color. The diameter of its bull head alone exceeded four meters, and its massive snake body was thicker than a water barrel.
The four lantern-like eyes of these beasts were fixed on Su Wen and his group.
Su Wen felt a strong sense of oppression.
Titan Giant Ape and Sky Azure Bull Python.
On the shoulder of the Titan Giant Ape, Su Wen also saw a familiar figure.
"It's you, Su Wen!" Xiao Wu exclaimed. "Da Ming, Er Ming, it was they who forced me to come back!"
She pointed at Su Wen and Dugu Bo.
"Back then, they were the ones who wanted to kill me and absorb my Spirit Ring."
As Xiao Wu's voice fell, the Soul Power of the two super Spirit Beasts suddenly surged.
Chen Xin snorted coldly, immediately summoning the Seven Kill Sword, gathering a terrifying sword aura around him.
The sharp sword intent was released, intimidating the two hundred thousand-year-old Spirit Beasts.
Dugu Bo also had his Martial Spirit possess him, his whole body permeated with intense blue phosphorous poison.
With Su Wen's Spiritual Power Sound Transmission reminder, Dugu Bo also intended to detonate the intense poison.
Sure enough, as Chen Xin and Dugu Bo erupted, the two super Spirit Beasts also calmed down.
Although this place was only on the outskirts of the Star Dou Great Forest, it still gathered many Spirit Beasts.
In just an instant, Dugu Bo's poison had spread to a radius of hundreds of meters. If he were to detonate it completely, it was very likely to cover an area of tens of kilometers in all directions.
This would be a terrifying disaster for the Spirit Beasts around the Star Dou Great Forest.
At the same time, the sword aura fluctuations from Chen Xin made them fear deep inside.
Most importantly, they were too close to the outskirts here. In a fight and retreat scenario, the opponents could completely exit the range of the Star Dou Great Forest.
In the uncertain situation of whether it was a trap, the two super Spirit Beasts clearly were unwilling to leave the range of the Star Dou Great Forest.
The main objective this time was still The Dark Devilgod Tiger.
Suddenly, Xiao Wu's pupils contracted as she stared fixedly at the enormous corpse of the Dark Devilgod Tiger on the ground.
"Da Ming, Er Ming, this is the corpse of Dark Devilgod Tiger!" she exclaimed.
