Chapter 195: At Six Years Old, Still Fearless
🕑 Added 2024-06-18 17:26:47 +0000 UTCThe protection on The Dark Devilgod Tiger shattered.
Slash of Gods and Demons had its sword qi partially nullified, with the remaining attack landing on The Dark Devilgod Tiger's body, severely injuring it.
Shortly after, The Dark Devilgod Tiger was sucked into the black hole.
Thanks to Su Wen's early warning, Dugu Bo and Chen Xin had already moved far away from the black hole the moment it formed.
Terrifying suction erupted from the black hole, but it was limited. Once they were out of a certain range, they were no longer dragged by it.
Su Wen and the others stayed fifty meters away from the rotating black hole, watching intently.
At the last moment, The Dark Devilgod Tiger could only resort to self-destructing.
Although Devilgod Protection was on cooldown, it still had the Life and Death Arena Spirit Skill, which simultaneously provided a strong shield that blocked the fatal attack from Slash of Gods and Demons.
Even if it was sucked into the Life and Death Arena, it would be subjected to time reversal, reverting to its childhood form. However, facing Spirit Masters, it was not worried.
Even against the Titan Giant Ape, or the Sky Azure Bull Python, The Dark Devilgod Tiger remained unconcerned.
Because among Spirit Beasts of the same level, especially in its juvenile form, it was invincible!
Su Wen didn't expect this ability could also be used for self-preservation.
If an enemy entered the black hole, they would be reverted to childhood and have a fair fight with him.
If the enemy didn't enter the black hole, The Dark Devilgod Tiger would use the Life and Death Arena to ensure his survival.
Su Wen wasn't sure how long the Life and Death Arena would hold, so he wouldn't choose to wait outside the black hole for The Dark Devilgod Tiger's return.
"Entering it means returning to childhood form and fighting to the death with him?" Chen Xin observed the black hole, seemingly curious about this unique Spirit Skill.
Even Ning Fengzhi, with his extensive knowledge, was momentarily surprised by this.
"What if we randomly capture a Spirit Beast and throw it in, then wait for him to come out and surround and kill him?" Dugu Bo suggested.
Su Wen shook his head, rejecting the proposal.
The decision-making power was currently in their hands, but the cunning Dark Devilgod Tiger had this trick as a lifesaver, naturally with something to rely on.
"So, shall we wait like this? The Life and Death Arena cannot gather two life forms at once. Should we wait for another life to enter, or will The Dark Devilgod Tiger be expelled after a certain time limit? We don't know," Su Wen said.
But we can wait, we can gamble.
"However, once a second life enters, with an opponent, as long as The Dark Devilgod Tiger doesn't kill them, he might stay in the Life and Death Arena indefinitely."
"So, we have to go in ourselves and kill him!" Ning Fengzhi frowned, never imagining such a life-saving "bug-level" Spirit Skill existed in the world.
Indeed, the ability of the Life and Death Arena was more like a life-saving divine skill than a mere trump card.
As a fragile support type, Ning Fengzhi couldn't help but envy it to death.
"No wonder The Dark Devilgod Tiger roams around devouring Spirit Beasts without being killed by others. Even in his youth, he probably mastered this ability, which is unbeatable for survival," Dugu Bo commented.
"Now the decision is in our hands, Xiaowen, are you sure you want to go in?" Ning Fengzhi's expression turned serious as he looked at Su Wen.
Having the decision-making power, he couldn't help but remind Su Wen once again at this moment.
This is a Spirit Beast we're talking about, and it's The Dark Devilgod Tiger.
Even though the The Dark Devilgod Tiger is just six years old, in terms of cultivation, it must surpass ten years. Its actual strength might even be more formidable.
"Don't worry, Uncle Ning. I am confident that I can kill him," Su Wen said.
Taking a deep breath, he slowly approached the black hole.
Activating his ultra-sensitive perception, he attentively monitored all changes within himself.
Amidst a swirling sensation, Su Wen felt as if his Soul Power was being locked down, gradually regressing. His Sea of Consciousness was also slowly being resealed.
Even his physical condition was regressing.
In every aspect, except for his memories and consciousness, even his Martial Spirit, which had evolved multiple times, reverted to its initial form.
All seals and restraints included the Source Soul Power operating within the Martial Spirit Space.
Even some minor injuries intentionally left by Su Wen disappeared along with everything else.
Everything was flowing back to the state he was in at six years old.
Arriving in the Life and Death Arena, Su Wen saw his enemy.
At this moment, the The Dark Devilgod Tiger's tail had become an ordinary tiger's tail, and the evil god hooks at its tail were pitifully small, devoid of any energy fluctuations. Its main body had shrunk to only one and a half meters, much smaller than its previous eight meters.
If it was immensely ferocious before, now this The Dark Devilgod Tiger looked exceptionally cute, more like a large black cat.
"Better than expected. You haven't regressed to your six-year-old self, but rather to the theoretical stage of a six years old Spirit Beast."
Spirit Beasts start at a minimum of ten years old, because anything under ten years isn't considered a Spirit Beast but rather a gradually mutating body that begins to strengthen. Once Soul Power emerges, it's classified as a Spirit Beast, directly as a ten years old Spirit Beast.
At this moment, the The Dark Devilgod Tiger was devoid of any trace of Soul Power.
Its eyes still held intelligence, devoid of confusion. As it looked at Su Wen, there was a hint of surprise.
Because even in its juvenile state, it could discern that the person who entered was neither the two Titled Douluo from before nor the Auxiliary Spirit Master. Instead, it was that guy who had always been on the sidelines.
The red eyes of the The Dark Devilgod Tiger flashed with hostility.
How could it not guess that the one who needed its Spirit Ring this time was precisely the person before it?
"My Martial Spirit has also fallen into silence, just like its state before awakening," Su Wen sighed.
Listening to Su Wen muttering to himself all this while, the The Dark Devilgod Tiger didn't immediately launch an attack. Instead, it observed Su Wen like prey, continuing to assess the current situation.
The only thing that displeased it was that Su Wen at this moment showed no signs of panic.
This is a hunter's failure.
He roared like a fierce tiger.
"Everything of mine has reverted to before I was six years old, including my strength and body," Su Wen looked at the The Dark Devilgod Tiger and grinned.
"But what is the meaning of cultivation?"
"And what is the essence of strength?"
"It's experience, skills, and insight!"
He communicated with his Martial Spirit Space.
Even though his talent had regressed to the level before he was six, and he could only sense the situation inside his body, Su Wen had the experience of sensing his Martial Spirit Space with his original talent. Even though his cultivation had regressed to its initial state, he instantly sensed his Martial Spirit Space.
And now, in his Martial Spirit Space, the faint Source Soul Power was drifting unconsciously.
"Back then, I did have Source Soul Power..."
