"Roar!"
Due to the camouflage effect of the Blue Silver Domain, the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger did not detect Wang Li and Dugu Yan in advance. However, once they appeared, it immediately let out a vigilant roar.
Its pair of crimson eyes instantly locked onto Wang Li and Dugu Yan, radiating a murderous aura so intense it felt almost tangible.
Dugu Yan frowned slightly. The savage and ominous aura of the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger made her feel extremely uneasy. She said:
"There's actually such an evil soul beast in the Star Dou Great Forest? How did it manage to survive and grow to this point? I've heard that the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger can devour other soul beasts to rapidly increase its cultivation, and it can even defeat enemies a whole realm above its own. A ten-thousand-year-old Dark Demon Evil God Tiger is comparable to a hundred-thousand-year-old soul beast."
Wang Li remained relatively calm. The bloodthirsty aura of the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger didn't faze him in the slightest. He then spoke:
"This Dark Demon Evil God Tiger is enormous—it must be at least fifty or sixty thousand years old. If it's allowed to remain in the Star Dou Great Forest, I fear that in just a few years, it could drive all ten-thousand-year soul beasts to extinction. Ten-thousand-year soul beasts are already rare resources—we can't let it waste them like this."
"Since we've already encountered it, we might as well deal with this problem. However, the soul ring and soul bone from a fifty- or sixty-thousand-year Dark Demon Evil God Tiger feel somewhat wasted."
At the same time, the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger was also considering how to respond. It was extremely intelligent, possessing wisdom on par with that of humans.
It knew this was the core region of the Star Dou Great Forest. For Wang Li and Dugu Yan to have reached this place safely, they had to be exceptionally powerful, so it had to proceed with caution.
Despite this caution, it had no intention of fleeing. This confidence stemmed from absolute belief in its own strength. Even the Sky Azure Bull Python and the Titan Giant Ape, both hundred-thousand-year soul beasts, had been unable to kill it and could only drive it away. That alone was proof of the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger's immense power.
"Roar!"
With a deafening roar, the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger launched the first attack. Crimson wind blades formed rapidly around its body, and with a whip of its barbed, bony tail, the blades shot toward Wang Li and Dugu Yan like a hail of arrows.
The wind blades were extremely dense, slicing through the air with deadly silence. Yet the sharpness of their aura made the hair on one's body stand on end and sent a chill down the spine.
With just a wave of his hand, Wang Li caused a vast quantity of Blue Silver Grass to surge and grow within the Blue Silver Domain, intertwining to form a wall-like fortress.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
All of the wind blades struck this wall of Blue Silver Grass, leaving behind a dense web of crisscrossing scars. Though the wall trembled on the verge of collapse, the Blue Silver Grass held firm.
After all, under the augmentation of Wang Li's domain, every strand of Blue Silver Grass had reached the level of the Blue Silver Emperor in every aspect.
With another wave of his hand, the Blue Silver Wall collapsed with a thunderous crash. The severed Blue Silver Grass regrew rapidly, writhing forward like giant pythons with a rustling sound.
They lashed toward the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger with a crackling of air bursts. Despite its massive body of over eight meters in length, the tiger was incredibly agile and managed to dodge the attacks.
However, as the number of Blue Silver Grass tendrils increased, the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger was soon left with nowhere to evade.
In its crimson eyes, a trace of human-like astonishment and cunning flashed. It keenly realized that these Blue Silver Grass vines—usually crushed underfoot with ease—had become so troublesome all because of Wang Li.
With no room to dodge, it stopped trying. Letting out another roar:
"Roar!"
A layer of deathly gray light erupted from its body—its domain power—quickly spreading to cover several hundred meters.
The Dark Demon Evil God Tiger's domain had an intensely corrosive force. Any Blue Silver Grass that entered the range of the gray light withered rapidly, completely corroded and destroyed.
Seeing this, Wang Li frowned slightly, thinking to himself that even with the surrounding Blue Silver Grass under his control, it wouldn't be enough to defeat a Dark Demon Evil God Tiger that could rival a hundred-thousand-year soul beast.
It was time to use real strength. Wang Li summoned his Martial Spirit—the true Blue Silver Emperor—which materialized before him. Nine soul rings appeared one after another.
Wang Li spoke:
"Grow!"
His first soul ring lit up, and the Blue Silver Emperor began to grow wildly, expanding outward in wave after wave, blanketing the sky and covering the ground as if endless.
Wang Li called out again:
"Obsidian Jade God Bamboo Spear!"
Hundreds of Blue Silver Vines turned dark green, their once-flexible bodies becoming incredibly rigid, transforming into spear-like forms aimed at the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger.
These were true Blue Silver Emperor vines, not ordinary Blue Silver Grass. Even the corrosive force of the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger's domain had little effect on them due to the Blue Silver Emperor's overflowing vitality.
The Dark Demon Evil God Tiger's eyes widened. Its domain was ineffective—these vines were different. They weren't ordinary Blue Silver Grass.
Facing hundreds of Obsidian Jade God Bamboo Spears, the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger was forced to gather its power once more, releasing the Evil God's Protection. The gray light condensed into a shield, possessing a terrifyingly defensive strength akin to the Invincible Golden Body.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Dull thuds echoed continuously. The Obsidian Jade God Bamboo Spears struck again and again—though one or two couldn't pierce the Evil God's Protection barrier, after ten, twenty, even a hundred or two hundred strikes, no matter how formidable the shield—on par with an Invincible Golden Body—it finally shattered into dust.
The Dark Demon Evil God Tiger could only watch helplessly as its protective shield disintegrated, and numerous Obsidian Jade God Bamboo Spears struck its body from every angle.
In just a moment, its entire body was battered thoroughly. Agonizing pain surged through it, and the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger felt as though its body was about to fall apart. It was only thanks to its incredibly sturdy physique that it remained alive—any other ten-thousand-year soul beast would have been killed instantly.
"Roar!"
With a furious roar, crackling sounds erupted around it as gray-black lightning bolts rapidly gathered, forcing back all surrounding Blue Silver Vines. Under its control, bolts of lightning formed into glowing orbs and shot forth, their terrifying force blasting open a path among the vines.
The Dark Demon Evil God Tiger, like a beast gone mad, lunged forward with explosive speed. Despite its massive frame, it surged through the air like lightning, as if teleporting. Its tiger claws had already extended, gleaming with a cold, sinister light.
On its back, a thick, long bone-spiked tail stood upright, the tip of the tail spike straight and sharp like a spearhead, pulsing with swirling gray energy.
The Dark Demon Evil God Tiger was unleashing its full power. If this combination of attacks couldn't kill its enemy, it was ready to flee. It was intelligent and cunning, and if faced with an unbeatable opponent, it would never stay and fight to the death.
Wang Li controlled the Blue Silver Emperor to block its path, but the paralyzing effects of the lightning slowed the vines, preventing them from catching up to the charging Dark Demon Evil God Tiger.
