Chapter 69: Nine Treasures Divine Light Protection!

Chapter 69: Nine Treasures Divine Light Protection!

As soon as the Dark Devil Evil Tiger fired a black light from its Evil God Spike, rapidly expanding at the center between itself and Ye Cheng, Ye Cheng launched his counterattack. But instead of targeting the black light, he aimed directly at the Dark Devil Evil Tiger's main body.

Ye Cheng's gaze sharpened like a blade, and in an instant, he activated the second soul skill of his head soul bone Mental Force!

This ability transformed invisible spiritual power into tangible force, capable of affecting the physical world while also dealing terrifying damage to spiritual entities.

"Break!"

In a flash, the Dark Devil Evil Tiger, which had just been revitalized by unleashing its ultimate attack, suddenly let out a miserable shriek.

The layer of black light surrounding its body shattered instantly under the onslaught of Ye Cheng's Mental Force.

At that moment, the expanding black hole, now three meters wide, unleashed a tremendous suction force.

Ye Cheng, however, remained calm and composed, raising his Nine Treasures Glazed Pagoda, which emitted a dazzling array of nine red soul rings.

Then, the eighth soul ring shone brightly!

"The Nine Treasures have a name Eighth: Divine Light Protection!"

This was a pure defensive soul skill, capable of blocking and resisting all curses, attacks, and external forces, both tangible and intangible.

A layer of nine colored glazed light silently enveloped Ye Cheng and the two girls, forming an impenetrable barrier of protection.

The black hole's suction force suddenly surged!

Ye Cheng, curious to test the effectiveness of his soul skill, did not resist, allowing the suction to pull all three of them in.

At the same time, the Dark Devil Evil Tiger found itself unable to resist and was sucked into the black hole as well.

The world around them plunged into absolute darkness.

Ye Cheng felt his body weightless, as if he were floating in a void, while a strange force repeatedly attempted to break through the Nine Treasures Divine Light Protection to influence his body.

But unfortunately for the Dark Devil Evil Tiger, Ye Cheng's defensive skill was superior, completely sealing out the foreign energy without allowing a single trace to affect them.

Then

A sudden flash of light!

The solid ground beneath his feet returned.

Ye Cheng surveyed his surroundings and found himself in a strange space.

The area resembled a massive arena, appearing circular yet endlessly vast.

There were no clouds, no sun, and no stars in the sky only endless darkness. The light illuminating the arena seemed to emanate from the ground itself, allowing visibility despite the eerie surroundings.

It was then that Ye Cheng finally spotted his opponent

The Dark Devil Evil Tiger, which had been sucked in along with them, now stood about thirty meters away, its blood red eyes burning with fury and disbelief.

It let out repeated enraged roars, its previous composed demeanor completely shattered.

"Teacher/Brother, what happened to it?"

The shocked voices of Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing echoed behind him.

Their astonishment was understandable

Because the Dark Devil Evil Tiger had undergone a dramatic transformation!

Originally, its massive eight meter long body radiated an aura of absolute dominance, with its dark wings spreading wide enough to block out the sky.

But now

Not only had its wings vanished, but even its tail had shrunk into a normal tiger tail, and the Evil God Hook had diminished to a pitiful size, with no energy fluctuations at all.

Even more astonishing

Its entire body had shrunk to just 1.5 meters in length, a mere shadow of its former self.

If its previous form was that of a ferocious and terrifying beast, its current form made it look like an adorable oversized black kitten!

**"The Dark Devil Evil Tiger is a soul beast with extreme innate talent. Aside from its Supreme Evil Attribute, it also possesses Darkness, Lightning, Wind, Time, and Space attributes."

Even Ye Cheng himself couldn't help but feel awe at how utterly broken this soul beast was.

"Wait WHAT?! It has that many attributes?!"

Even though Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing had already expected the Dark Devil Evil Tiger to be overpowered, they were still dumbfounded by the actual extent of its abilities.

Most soul beasts were lucky to have one or two attributes that alone was incredibly rare.

But this thing?

It had Evil, Darkness, Lightning, Time, and Space attributes

Each of them high tier, rare attributes that ordinary soul beasts could only dream of possessing.

It was no wonder that this soul beast was on par with the Six Winged Angel!

Just then

A strange voice echoed from all directions.

"Welcome to the Arena of Life and Death. The battle will only end when one side perishes. Only then can you escape this dimension. Countdown: Five… Four… Three… Two… One… Begin."

"Teacher, what does that mean?"

Hearing this, Zhu Zhuqing asked curiously.

"What is the Arena of Life and Death?"

**"It is the Dark Devil Evil Tiger's strongest ability **an ability that combines Time and Space," Ye Cheng explained, pointing at the now adorable looking Dark Devil Evil Tiger.

"See for yourself."

"Huh? This move can make you younger? That's pretty cool but why would it shrink itself?" Ning Rongrong asked, puzzled.

"No. The true effect of this skill is that it pulls its enemies into this arena… and forcibly de ages them to six years old."

Ye Cheng shook his head.

"If not for my Nine Treasures Divine Light Protection, we would have also been reduced to six year old children."

"Oh! I get it now!"

Zhu Zhuqing suddenly understood.

"If a human child had to fight a soul beast child… the soul beast would have the advantage!"

"Exactly. This soul skill is terrifying."

Ning Rongrong nodded in agreement.

"Terrifying?"

Ye Cheng chuckled.

"The real effect of this ability isn't just turning us into children

 It also allows the Dark Devil Evil Tiger to maintain its original form."

"Imagine a 50,000 year old soul beast going up against three defenseless six year old human children how could it possibly lose?"

"Wait… WHAT?!"

Both Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing were shocked, their gazes toward the miniature Dark Devil Evil Tiger now filled with pure horror.

"When activating this soul skill, the Dark Devil Evil Tiger generates a protective shield to exempt itself from the effects. If I hadn't broken that shield beforehand… it wouldn't be stuck in this tiny form right now."

Ye Cheng looked at the Dark Devil Evil Tiger, whose blood red eyes now burned with resentment and fury.

Then, his expression turned calm.

"Time to put you out of your misery."

He swung his sword.

"ROAR!!!"

The tiny Dark Devil Evil Tiger let out a childish but furious roar, trying to dodge

But it was too slow.

SPLIT!

Ye Cheng's sword energy sliced it cleanly in half.

The battle was over.

Light flashed

And in an instant, they were back in the Star Dou Forest.

Not far away

The Dark Devil Evil Tiger's massive corpse lay cleaved in two.

Above it

A strange, dark pearl floated, shimmering with blue and green light.

Suddenly

The black hole they had emerged from twisted and tried to suck the pearl in.

But before it could

Ye Cheng merely glared at it.

His Mental Force instantly locked the pearl in place.

A moment later, the black hole vanished

And the pearl gently landed in Ye Cheng's palm.
