Starting from Douluo to Capture Goddesses

The Dark Evil Tiger looked at Xu Ran with a hint of respect in its eyes.

For it, being able to see such a high-level powerful being just once was enough for this lifetime.

"Go kill it," the pressure emanating from Xu Ran rendered the Dark Evil Tiger unable to move. The law of the jungle, survival of the fittest. The Dark Evil Tiger was capable of devouring other life forms to become stronger.

It was this ability that allowed the Dark Evil Tiger to possess such terrifying power.

Having grown to this stage, the Dark Evil Tiger had probably devoured tens of thousands of soul beasts, if not more.

Killing it could also be considered as removing a menace from the Aquipeia Forest.

Otherwise, in the future, it would devour ten-thousand-year and even hundred-thousand-year soul beasts. Currently, the Aquipeia Forest did not have that many ferocious beasts for it to consume.

In the Deep Sea, the Deep Sea Demonic Whale also had the ability to devour. In the Devil Whale Sea Area, hardly any other powerful soul beasts could be seen. The maritime regions were vast, and soul beasts were plentiful; one or two powerful soul beasts could not affect the overall balance of the ocean. But the land was different; the soul beasts of the Aquipeia Forest had almost been hunted to extinction by humans, and could not afford to be hunted without limit by soul beasts.

"Hmm."

Zhu Zhuqing nodded and, with Xu Ran's assistance, effortlessly killed the Dark Evil Tiger.

Space twisted, and they returned to the Aquipeia Forest once again.

The Life-and-Death Arena of the Dark Evil Tiger was clearly an independent space, a soul skill capable of transporting people into a special realm.

This was indeed rather monstrous.

Although the combat power limit in Soul Land was not very high, the various unique soul skills were quite impressive.

Different realities each had their own characteristic features.

In Soul Land, combat power might not be strong compared to the Xuanhuan Plane, but gods had infinite lifespans and could even revive the dead. These bizarre soul skills were not found in many other planes.

In some realities, while the powerful beings had formidable combat strength and could move heaven and earth, their lifespans were limited, and they could do nothing but watch their beloved die before their eyes. What was the point of such strength if they couldn't protect their lifespans? If one couldn't even protect their own woman, their power was worthless.

Thinking this way, Xu Ran found himself increasingly fond of this plane.

At least, he didn't have to be unable to grow old with his beloved like in many other Xuanhuan Planes.

If he went to other realities in the future, he could pursue those people and bring them back to the Divine Realm to enjoy an endless lifespan.

"This soul beast is indeed monstrous," Zhu Zhuqing said.

"Just this soul skill alone is already defying the heavens. If a god possessed this kind of ability, it would be unimaginably terrifying," Zhu Zhuqing added.

"Although the Dragon God was powerful with an invincible body and could control several elements, he did not have such an ingenious soul skill," the Goddess of Kindness commented.

The Dragon God was powerful, but his moves were mostly straightforward.

If the Dragon God had such a tricky ability, one can imagine that even the Five Great Supreme Gods would be unable to guard against it.

"This is why you restrict soul beasts from becoming gods," Xu Ran said with a smile, looking at the Goddess of Kindness.

Indeed, in The Soul Beast Realm, there were many strange and powerful soul beasts like the Dark Evil Tiger.

"Human gods, even with formidable combat power, have very vulnerable bodies. Even the strongest can be vanquished. But soul beasts are tenacious in life; if they become gods, their bodies are nearly invincible," the Goddess of Kindness explained.

"If a Human God is struck by a full-force blow from an equally powerful opponent, they will surely perish. But a Soul Beast God can withstand such an attack, and, despite being injured, they would still have considerable combat ability," she continued.

"Hmm."

Xu Ran nodded.

He possessed the spirit beast bloodline and naturally knew the formidable aspects of it.

Although soul beasts grew slowly and had to face Heavenly Tribulations, once they endured countless adversities and grew, they were almost invincible.

Just like Di Tian, although he had not achieved godhood, his strength was much greater than that of a human Title Douluo of the 99th rank.

The same was true for the Deep Sea Demonic Whale.

If a soul beast with the same basis achieved godhood, and was stronger than humans even in their mortal form, their combat strength after becoming a god would definitely be greater than that of a human god.

Imagine, if a soul beast of the caliber of the Dark Evil Tiger became a god, their combat strength would likely be comparable to that of a Divine King.

"Moreover, it's not me who wants to prevent soul beasts from becoming gods. The Dragon God caused such a deep shadow for the other gods back then, so they decided to restrict soul beasts from achieving godhood. It's not something I can decide," Xu Ran explained.

The Goddess of Kindness pouted and cast Xu Ran a somewhat blaming glance.

Even as a Divine King, she could not make significant decisions in the Divine Realm.

Most of the time, it was gods like the Evil God and the Destruction God who were in charge.

They kept to themselves, and often, they only played the role of peacemakers.

"I understand now. I've wronged you," Xu Ran said, gently stroking the Goddess of Kindness' small nose.

"You…" The Goddess of Kindness was stunned, her cheeks blushing at Xu Ran's intimate gesture.

For a long time, due to the enmity of their attributes, she had almost no contact with the Evil God. As for other gods, her interactions were mostly limited to gods like the Life Goddess.

And as for the opposite sex... Xu Ran was the first.

...

Zhu Zhuqing was slowly absorbing the soul bone.

Blackness had entirely enveloped her.

The Dark Evil Tiger was an extremely powerful soul beast, and both its Soul Ring and soul bone were treasures beyond any Soul Master's imagination, containing energy that ordinary people couldn't even fathom.

However, the energy contained in the Dark Evil Tiger's Soul Ring and soul bone was too vast for Zhu Zhuqing to handle, as Xu Ran had sealed most of it, leaving only a part for Zhu Zhuqing to absorb.

If Zhu Zhuqing absorbed enough of it, the seals would gradually break down, continuing to release energy for her to absorb.

Zhu Zhuqing's "Cultivation Level" was increasing at a rate visible to the naked eye.

Her aura also changed in this moment.

Compared to before, her aura was now much stronger. The sharp and vigorous aura emanated from her Martial Soul.

The Hell Spiritual Cat was evolving rapidly, its every black hair standing on end, and its whole Martial Soul grew larger in size. As it absorbed the characteristics of the Dark Evil Tiger, the Hell Spiritual Cat seemed to gain those traits too, becoming more enigmatic.

Due to Xu Ran's identity and formidable strength, the Dark Evil Tiger submitted willingly, thus when it died, it unleashed all its potential without any reservations.

It was aware that becoming the Soul Ring of a woman associated with a powerful soul beast like Xu Ran might not be a bad thing.

If it performed well, there was a chance it could be resurrected in the future. By then, it might gain even greater strength than before.

Therefore, the Dark Evil Tiger left behind all its abilities and bloodline.

"This Dark Evil Tiger is indeed obedient," Xu Ran smiled. When he becomes a god, he would not be stingy in bringing such a powerful soul beast back to life.
