"No wonder it's called the Dark Demon Evil Tiger. With only fifty thousand years of cultivation, it has awakened a domain that even ten-thousand-year soul beasts can possess!"
Whether it was the Azure Blue Python, the Titan Ape, or the Abyssal Sea Beast Evil Tiger Whale King, they all had domains. Undoubtedly, domains were the exclusive ability of ten-thousand-year soul beasts.
Yet the White Tiger Domain not only failed to suppress the Dark Demon Evil Tiger's power—it only provoked its ferocity further! After all, nobody likes being disturbed in the middle of a meal.
"Heh heh, little kitty, looks like you're angry!" Dai Weisi smirked, his eyes burning with zeal. "Very well—let's have a real fight. If you win, your soul power should flourish even more!"
Dai Weisi's martial soul was the Sacred White Tiger—its quality rivaling that of the Dark Demon Evil Tiger.
If he lost and the tiger devoured him, its cultivation could surge to sixty thousand or even seventy thousand years at once! But he had no intention of losing.
"Come on!"
Dai Weisi leapt into the air and lunged at the Dark Demon Evil Tiger. Dark–golden Fear Claws—augmented by external soul bones—materialized around his hands. Facing such a top-tier soul beast, he dared not show the slightest carelessness.
"Soul Bone Skill: Dark-Golden Fear Claw!"
"ROAR!"
As Dai Weisi charged like a tiger descending a mountain, the Dark Demon Evil Tiger—also a tiger-type beast—refused to back down. This was the ultimate showdown between the strongest tiger martial soul and the strongest tiger soul beast, the true test of Sacred White Tiger versus Dark Demon Evil Tiger.
The tiger's hind leg muscles tensed. It rose to its haunches and slashed both claws forward, as if grasping prey.
BOOM!
In an instant, Dai Weisi's hands clashed violently with the tiger's claws. A tremendous force jolted through every cell of his body, rattling his organs.
Blood surged, pain seared through him, and he felt as if his bones were shattering.
Yet the Dark Demon Evil Tiger fared no better. Dai Weisi's dark–golden Fear Claws wielded earth–shredding power.
The tiger sensed the immense power in Dai Weisi's arms. Its own vitality churned violently, and a mouthful of crimson blood spewed forth!
Finally, both man and beast recoiled dozens of steps. By all accounts, Dai Weisi held a slight advantage—his two external soul bones, strengthened through his growth, now rivaled those of a fifty-thousand-year soul bone.
That the tiger only coughed blood under the onslaught of those soul-bone skills spoke volumes about his power—after all, sheer strength was not the Dark Demon Evil Tiger's forte.
"Incredible strength… no wonder it can battle ten-thousand-year soul beasts!" Dai Weisi murmured, regaining his composure. He knew the Dark Demon Evil Tiger was no easy foe.
Meanwhile, the Dark Demon Evil Tiger was equally stunned. It had faced many powerful soul masters, but never one with such overwhelming might.
As awe and greed surged within it, the thought formed: if it devoured this opponent, its own power would soar to new heights.
Dai Weisi discerned the tiger's intent and shouted, "Again!"
"Third Soul Technique: White Tiger Vajra Transformation!"
Suddenly, icy–and-fiery wings erupted from his back, doubling his speed and power. He charged straight at the Dark Demon Evil Tiger, golden light flickering in his palm.
"Original Soul Technique: Storm Nebula Rupture!"
Dai Weisi's hand whirled, summoning gale–force winds that tore through the void toward the tiger.
The Dark Demon Evil Tiger, not to be outdone, activated its own "Acceleration" skill—a self-enhancement ability.
Evil soul power exploded, instantly multiplying its speed several times over. Though not true teleportation, its sprint rivaled instant movement—but only in a straight line! Along that line, its malevolent might also doubled.
Dai Weisi unleashed a relentless barrage of attacks, and the tiger mirrored him, parrying blow for blow with its razor-sharp claws while seeking an opening to counterattack.
From afar, it was as if two colossal tigers were locked in a desperate fight to the death. The man and the beast battled for over ten minutes, neither able to secure victory.
"This isn't going to work. White Tiger Vajra Transformation only lasts for thirty minutes. Once its boon fades, I'm done for! I need to end this quickly!" Dai Weisi thought, shifting tactics. From that moment on, he abandoned offense and focused entirely on defense, secretly channeling his soul power into the bones of his right leg.
Seeing Dai Weisi fall into a full defensive stance, the Dark Demon Evil Tiger assumed his opponent was out of reserves and launched a ferocious, all-out assault. Dai Weisi was driven backward by the tiger's relentless onslaught—until, suddenly, his eyes flared blood-red, matching the tiger's own terrifying gaze.
The Dark Demon Evil Tiger—possessing intelligence on par with humans—instantly sensed a major move brewing. It readied itself to retreat and reassess, but it was already too late.
"Soul Bone Skill: Bloodthirst Frenzy!"
The moment those words left his lips, Dai Weisi's speed and strength doubled again. Stacking two enhancement skills meant his power and velocity were now four times normal. Once he claimed his seventh spirit ring and awakened his true martial soul body, these attributes would climb even higher!
As the tiger's claw swiped toward him, Dai Weisi stood his ground. He seized the beast's paw in a vice-like grip—and crushed its metacarpal bones with a sickening crack. The Dark Demon Evil Tiger let out a tortured wail.
"Little kitty, my strength far surpasses yours!" Dai Weisi taunted. He followed up with an upward hook to the tiger's jaw, and another crack sounded as the blow dislocated the creature's mandible.
The tiger tried to retaliate, but Dai Weisi kicked it skyward. He surged forward and unleashed a brutal beating.
"Original Soul Skill: Aurora Divine Wind Claw!"
Turning his fist into a lethal talon, Dai Weisi raked his claws across the tiger's hide, leaving oozing, crimson wounds in his wake.
"ROAR!"
The agony sent the Dark Demon Evil Tiger into a frenzy. It activated Evil God's Guard, summoning a grayish shield of malevolent qi before its body.
Dai Weisi's next attack was deflected by the murky barrier. He would have broken through given more time—but the tiger wasn't about to grant him that luxury. Wind, thunder, and corrupt soul power swirled in its maw, forging a basketball-sized orb of crackling electricity that hurtled toward Dai Weisi's chest.
"Dark Demon Evil Thunder!"
Recognizing the skill, Dai Weisi leapt backward, using his quadrupled speed to put distance between himself and the lethal orb. As Bloodthirst Frenzy waned, his first spirit ring gleamed.
"First Soul Skill: White Tiger Barrier!"
A surge of pure golden qi erupted, coalescing into a protective shield that barely held off the electrical bombardment. Immediately afterward, his second spirit ring flared.
"You strike me, I strike you! Try my ranged attack—White Tiger Radiant Wave!"
Dai Weisi thrust out a beam of blazing light that shot toward the grievously wounded Dark Demon Evil Tiger.
