Douluo: Emerald Poison Emperor-Chapter 285: Douluo: Emerald Poison Emperor []

"Evil soul beast, you plunder the spoils of human soul masters and watch the surroundings of the Spirit Hall like a predator. Are we supposed to place our hopes on the idea that you won't one day suddenly attack humans?"

Golden Crocodile Douluo had recently encountered many ferocious beasts and hundred-thousand-year soul beasts, so he was already somewhat accustomed to the fact that soul beasts could talk. Pointing directly at the Dark Devilgod Tiger's head, he spoke bluntly.

This wasn't him being hypocritical—he genuinely thought this way after seeing the eerie and terrifying devouring attribute on the Dark Devilgod Tiger.

Hearing Golden Crocodile Douluo's words, the Dark Devilgod Tiger felt somewhat aggrieved.

If he had eaten humans recently, he would have admitted it. But the problem was, he truly hadn't dared to attack any humans during this period. Whenever faced with human attacks, he would just run. He had even dealt with some soul beasts that fought humans to a mutual loss, saving a few humans in the process. In other words, he felt that he could even be considered to have saved some people.

So, listening to Golden Crocodile Douluo's accusations, the Dark Devilgod Tiger's massive face showed a human-like expression of anger. However, he understood that this wasn't the main issue.

The real issue was that he was a soul beast, and the other party was a soul master. Soul masters needed soul rings to advance, and soul bones could enhance their combat abilities. As a result, the two sides were naturally opposed.

Just as he couldn't improve his age through cultivation and had no choice but to devour soul beasts to grow, regardless of his willingness, this was not a matter of right or wrong. It was purely about positions and survival.

"Human, stop pretending to be righteous. Don't think that just because you're an Ultimate Douluo, I'm afraid of you!"

The Dark Devilgod Tiger roared, though it was clear his voice lacked confidence.

He wasn't afraid of a Super Douluo, but an Ultimate Douluo... he truly didn't dare to say. The only thing keeping him in front of this soul master was his wife and children. Otherwise, even with his killing move, he would've run away without looking back long ago.

The Dark Devilgod Tiger was a mutated species of white tiger infected by the power of the Evil God. Such soul beasts could not reproduce through their bloodline. Their offspring would only inherit the white tiger bloodline and the evil power, becoming scorpion-like tigers. The core of this type of soul beast was the Evil God's power, originating from another world.

Before being infected, the Dark Devilgod Tiger had been a white tiger with an exceptionally pure bloodline. From a human perspective, he was a genius among the white tiger clan, destined to become a hundred-thousand-year soul beast and awaken the ancestral bloodline as long as he didn't fall.

But in reality, just after reaching ten thousand years of age, he had inexplicably been entangled by the power of the Evil God. He wasn't given a choice or the chance to resist; it directly corrupted him into an evil soul beast that all other soul beasts wanted to kill. If his parents hadn't shown him some mercy and released him, he would have been bitten to death on the spot.

After being driven out of his clan, he was beaten by soul beasts from the core area to the mixed zone, then from the mixed zone to the outskirts. Finally, outside the Star Dou Forest, he was chased and attacked by soul masters, forcing him back to a corner of the mixed zone.

Even so, he didn't dare to show himself regularly. Whenever he did, he would be hunted by powerful soul beasts that were otherwise mortal enemies. To put it bluntly, he couldn't even afford to release gas without worrying if it would leak his evil power.

For most of the year, during spring, summer, and autumn, he was either fighting or being beaten. In winter, it wasn't that he didn't fight—it was that he had to hibernate to recover. Otherwise, even with the blessing of the Evil God's power and the white tiger bloodline, he would've been killed long ago.

Did anyone think he enjoyed this life?

If he had been born a Dark Devilgod Tiger, he would've accepted his fate. But the problem was that he had only been transformed into this damned creature after reaching adulthood and developing clear thoughts.

He couldn't stand being hunted from one end of the Star Dou Forest to the other. Every time he licked his wounds, his intelligence—no less than that of a human—was filled with curses for the Evil God's power and the damned Evil God.

Though he was a Dark Devilgod Tiger, he still saw himself as a white tiger. Once he became strong enough, he spent tremendous effort finding a tiger soul beast with a white tiger bloodline as his mate.

He then spent even more effort stealing treasures and hunting soul beasts to elevate his mate to the level of a white tiger. Finally, after decades, he had his first litter of cubs. When his children were born, he felt a purification unlike anything he'd ever known.

Though he was an evil soul beast, he had his weaknesses. His high quality granted him intelligence and emotions beyond that of most humans. While he possessed an evil nature and a habit of killing, his evil did not extend to his wife and children.

After all, as the saying goes, even a tiger won't eat its cubs.

Lower-level creatures without rational thought were an exception, but for those with clear minds and emotions, harming one's children was the behavior of monsters and beasts.

The Dark Devilgod Tiger couldn't bear to harm his children. The most precious parts of his prey always went to his cubs first. It took countless soul beast essences to raise his litter of plump, black tiger-scorpion hybrids.

Golden Crocodile Douluo didn't know what the Dark Devilgod Tiger was thinking, but he could tell from its reaction that it cared deeply for its mate and cubs. Acting as though he was about to attack the white tiger and cubs, he forced the highly mobile Dark Devilgod Tiger into a standoff in the cave.

Moments later, Qian Daoliu transmitted a spiritual message to Golden Crocodile Douluo. Golden Crocodile Douluo's expression turned fierce, and his hands transformed into dragon claws as he struck at the Dark Devilgod Tiger.

The immense strength of an Ultimate Douluo and the oppressive power of the Golden Crocodile Dragon martial soul made the Dark Devilgod Tiger feel like it was about to be killed on the spot. But for the sake of his mate and cubs, he had no choice but to grit his teeth and clash head-on, buying time for them to escape.

The Dark Devilgod Tiger roared at the white tiger, then pushed his soul power to the limit. His eight-meter body swelled several times over, reaching twelve meters in length, with a pair of massive bat wings radiating extreme evil. The seemingly unremarkable scorpion tail behind him gave Golden Crocodile Douluo a faint sense of threat.

This was remarkable, considering Golden Crocodile Douluo's current level-99 soul power and martial soul. As long as he was prepared, not even a hundred-thousand-year soul beast's self-destruction could pose any threat to him. Yet, the Dark Devilgod Tiger emanated a faint but deadly aura.

Even though activating his amplification skills was a huge burden, the Dark Devilgod Tiger knew he would be torn apart by this human if he didn't fight with everything he had.

With a deafening roar, the Dark Devilgod Tiger unleashed his Evil God Thunder, a purple-black lightning beam. Though a weakened version of his ultimate move, its speed and destructive power rivaled the ninth soul skill of many titled Douluo.

The lightning struck Golden Crocodile Douluo in an instant, causing a massive explosion that nearly leveled the small mountain.

When the dust settled, Golden Crocodile Douluo emerged unscathed, protected by a radiant golden barrier. However, his expression had grown more serious. Three soul rings lit up simultaneously as he launched another attack, giving the Dark Devilgod Tiger no time to resist.

The two clashed fiercely, with Golden Crocodile Douluo leaving deep wounds on the Tiger's massive body. Enraged and desperate after losing sight of his family, the Dark Devilgod Tiger unleashed a torrent of evil energy—an extreme fusion of lightning and darkness capable of corroding even Golden Crocodile Douluo's formidable defenses.

Despite the pain, Golden Crocodile Douluo roared, activating his fifth soul skill to deliver a devastating strike. Though the Tiger managed to block it with his Evil God Shield, the attack still left him gravely injured.
