Chapter 49

The Beast Taming Gu flew from Ye Ming's hand, transforming into a wisp of clear smoke that enveloped the Three-Eyed Golden Lion.

"Ngh-ah!"

The Three-Eyed Golden Lion let out a pained cry and began to struggle on the ground.

Sensing the Three-Eyed Golden Lion's counterattack, Ye Ming released his entire Hundred-Person Soul to suppress it.

As long as he could enslave this Three-Eyed Golden Lion, a huge step in his plan would be complete! "Ya ya ya!"

The Three-Eyed Golden Lion rolled back and forth on the ground in agony, tears streaming from its eyes.

Just moments ago, it had applied a defensive ability to the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear, only for the black hole to shatter the defense, causing a backlash that damaged its soul! To protect the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear, it had exhausted its trump card, risking soul backlash to land a soul strike on the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger! It was precisely while its soul was damaged that Ye Ming seized this opportunity!

By now, the clear smoke of the Beast Taming Gu had completely merged into its body, drilling into its mind.

If it lost this soul battle, it would be thoroughly enslaved! The Three-Turn Beast Taming Gu was already formidable, and with the aid of Ye Ming's Hundred-Person Soul, the Three-Eyed Golden Lion's soul power was gradually being compressed.

"It hurts, it hurts, it hurts!"

"It hurts so much!"

A crisp, clear voice rang out in Ye Ming's mind; it was the Three-Eyed Golden Lion's cry.

As a Beast of Auspice, even with only five thousand years of cultivation, it could use human language.

Seeing this, Ye Ming showed not a shred of pity, continuing to drive his soul power to crush down upon the Three-Eyed Golden Lion.

……

After the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear and the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger entered the black hole, they arrived in a peculiar space.

This was a massive circular arena; only the arena emitted light, while everything surrounding it was darkness! The Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear, which originally stood five meters tall, had now shrunk into a small cub only one meter tall.

Opposite it, the once incomparably domineering Dark Demon Evil God Tiger had also shrunk into a small black tiger two meters long.

However, as the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger felt its shrunken body, its eyes were filled with panic.

This skill of its was supposed to turn the opponent alone into a juvenile state while it fought in its adult state! Recalling the Three-Eyed Golden Lion's soul strike, the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger suddenly understood.

It was the opponent's strike against its spirit that had caused such a deviation in the skill! "Welcome to the Life-and-Death Arena. Only when one side dies can this life-and-death battle end and you leave this space."

"Countdown: five, four…… one, begin!"

The Dark Demon Evil God Tiger teleported instantly, killing toward the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear, which was still adapting to its changing body! Even with its body shrunken, the attributes it controlled remained unchanged; the wind attribute kept its speed superior to that of the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear.

"Awooo!"

A low roar sounded, and gray air currents rose from the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger. These currents appeared in a vortex shape, slowly condensing in front of it.

The Dark Demon Evil God Tiger had very little energy left in its body now; what it was condensing was a Dark Demon Evil Thunder! "Hum!!"

A boom rang out, and the Dark Demon Evil Thunder flew straight out, exploding in front of the small Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear!

At the final moment, the small Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear swung its blade, blocking the Dark Demon Evil Thunder for an instant.

Even so, the violently exploding energy blasted it backward repeatedly.

The dark gold fur on its body was scorched black by the explosion.

This was a life-and-death battle!

The small Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear roared and strode toward the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger! ……

In the woods, sweat had already seeped onto Ye Ming's forehead, but he dared not wipe it away.

This was the final stage, the most critical moment! "Submit to me!!"

He let out a low shout, and his Hundred-Person Soul suddenly emitted a tremor, crushing the Three-Eyed Golden Lion's resistance in one fell swoop! "Hahaha! It's done!"

Watching the Three-Eyed Golden Lion crawling obediently at his feet, Ye Ming couldn't help but look up and laugh! "Beast Taming Gu! What a Beast Taming Gu indeed!"

He squatted down and stroked the top of the Three-Eyed Golden Lion's head with his large hands; the latter, like a docile kitten, rubbed its head against him. The Beast Taming Gu controlled the Three-Eyed Golden Lion without harming its soul.

Simply put, it had imprinted an unbreakable thought-seal in its mind!

This seal had only one tenet: the master is the supreme god!

The master's command is a divine oracle! The Three-Eyed Golden Lion was still the Three-Eyed Golden Lion, but now it was Ye Ming's Three-Eyed Golden Lion!

Even if Ye Ming ordered the Three-Eyed Golden Lion to sacrifice itself now, it wouldn't hesitate in the slightest!

However, he still had great use for it, so naturally, he wouldn't do something as short-sighted as draining the pond to catch the fish.

For Ye Ming, the Three-Eyed Golden Lion was the greatest harvest since he entered the Douluo Continent!

With this card, more than half of his scheme had already succeeded! The moment he controlled the Three-Eyed Golden Lion with the Beast Taming Gu, he learned the entire situation of the Great Fierce Land from its soul.

Just as he had expected, Di Tian and a group of overlords were currently inside the Great Fierce Land in this Star Dou Great Forest! "The gap between my current strength and these overlords is still too large."

"Then I must borrow their momentum!"

After pondering for a moment, Ye Ming let the Three-Eyed Golden Lion wait at the edge of the woods! As for himself, he arrived at the spot where the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger and the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear had been sucked in by the black hole! "In this Life-and-Death Arena, only one can come out alive."

"Whether it's the ten-thousand-year Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear or that sixty-thousand-year cultivation Dark Demon Evil God Tiger, both are excellent choices for my fifth soul ring!"

The Treasure Moon Gu behind Ye Ming's head bloomed with light, and a half-meter-long moon blade in his hand began to gradually accumulate power!

He stared intently ahead, murmuring: "Now it depends on which of you can come out alive!"

Although the Clear Sky Hammer's attack was strong, when it came to a finishing blow to break defenses, it had to be the moon blade!

Ye Ming drove the Heaven Essence Treasure Lotus in his True Essence Sea, and strands of snow-silver True Essence poured continuously into the deep blue moon blade in his hand.

Time passed second by second; the originally deep blue moon blade in Ye Ming's hand had been infused with too much True Essence, and now it was beginning to turn silver-white.

He even had the feeling that he could barely control it.

"Hum!!"

At this moment, the black hole that had disappeared reappeared.

A blood-covered, scarred Dark Demon Evil God Tiger struggled and crawled out from the black hole.

The moment it appeared, its body, which had been over a meter tall, instantly restored to eight meters in size, and the energy that had vanished from its body began to gradually return.

"Awooo!!"

The Dark Demon Evil God Tiger raised its head and roared excitedly.

It had survived! Now it was time to devour the Beast of Auspice and reach the pinnacle of tiger life! "Swish!"

A silver-white light, condensed to the extreme, flashed past; a tiger head flew leisurely, rotated twice and a half in the air, and fell to the ground.

The remaining tiger body, blood gushing from the neck like a spring, collapsed to the ground with a boom.

The Dark Demon Evil God Tiger's head happened to see its body fall to the ground. To the side, the Three-Eyed Golden Lion it had been longing for stood beside a human, looking at it indifferently.

The Dark Demon Evil God Tiger's eyes were filled with intense unwillingness, right until the very last moment of its life! "Why are you shouting so loudly! Do you think you're loud just because you're shouting?"

"Pfft!"

Ye Ming walked to the front of the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger's body, his eyes fixed tightly on its corpse, not blinking for even a moment.

He knew that there was still a magical bead inside this Dark Demon Evil God Tiger!

"Shoo!!"

Just at this moment, a bead that was pitch-black all over, yet emitted cyan and blue light, flew out from the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger's head!
