Douluo: The Elves Have Arrived, I Am the God of Creation

Chapter 180 Descending upon the Lake of Life
The vast Starry Sky Forest, shaded by lush trees, is filled with fresh, natural air. Deep within the Starry Sky Forest lies a massive lake, known as the Lake of Life. The lake, with its shimmering surface and diameter of over a thousand meters, is as clear as a mirror, reflecting the flowers and grasses on both sides.

—Boom—

Just then, a series of loud noises were heard, and it was seen that four soul beasts were fighting in two separate groups beside the quiet Lake of Life.

—Aww—

"Damn it, you three brothers, the Thousand-Pound Ant King, I occupied the Lake of Life first. You three damned bastards, get out of here right now, or don't blame me for being impolite to you later."

Seeing that the three brothers, the Thousand-Pound Ant Kings, with nearly 100,000 years of cultivation, were going to compete for its territory, even the usually fearless Dark Demon Evil God Tiger felt apprehensive.

Since the Titan Giant Ape and the Azure Bull Python, the two former overlords of the Star Dou Great Forest, were suspected of being hunted down by human powerhouses, the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger immediately occupied the entire Lake of Life.

The Dark Demon Evil God Tiger was cultivating peacefully in the Lake of Life, but who could have imagined that things would turn out so unexpectedly? These three damned Thousand-Pound Ant King brothers also discovered the Titan Giant Ape and the Azure Bull Python. After these two former soul beasts mysteriously disappeared, the three of them also had the idea of ​​occupying the Lake of Life.

—Support—Support—Support—

Faced with the warning from the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger, the three Thousand-Pound Ant King brothers, who had not yet reached 100,000 years of cultivation and were not yet able to speak human language, also made a series of stammering sounds.

Well, if we were to translate the hesitant voices of the three ant kings into human language, it would probably be something like this:

You say this Lake of Life is your territory, Dark Demon Evil God Tiger? So it's yours? What are you, Dark Demon Evil God Tiger? Now that the three brothers, the Thousand-Pound Ant King, have their eyes on this Lake of Life, the best thing for you, Dark Demon Evil God Tiger, is to take advantage of the three brothers' relatively good mood and get out of here as soon as possible.

—Aww—

"Damn it, the three brothers of the Thousand-Pound Ant King, since you three are so shameless, then don't blame me for being impolite to you. Let's see who's the real deal."

Despite being wary of being outmatched by the three Thousand-Pound Ant King brothers, the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger still chose to fight.

Putting everything else aside, the dense spiritual energy of the Lake of Life would greatly benefit the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger's future cultivation, so it's impossible for it to simply give it up.

Moreover, it can also rapidly increase its soul power cultivation by devouring other soul beasts, and these three Thousand-Pound Ant Kings are simply a great tonic for its Dark Demon Evil God Tiger.

With its unique racial talent, the Arena of Life and Death, it directly transformed the three Thousand-Pound Ant Kings in front of it back into their juvenile forms. Then it could devour the three Thousand-Pound Ant King brothers, thereby rapidly increasing its soul power cultivation to the level of 100,000 years.

"Hmph, since you three Thousand-Pound Ant King brothers are looking for death, then I will grant your wish. Racial talent domain, activate the Arena of Life and Death!" Seeing the three Thousand-Pound Ant King brothers rushing towards him, the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger snorted coldly and, without hesitation, activated the Arena of Life and Death against them.

—Buzz—Buzz—Buzz—

Mysterious ripples, centered on the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger, rapidly enveloped the three Thousand-Pound Ant King brothers.

Sensing the approaching danger, the three Thousand-Pound Ant King brothers tried to dodge, but in that instant, they were enveloped by the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger's arena of life and death.

"Heh heh, you three think you can resist my Arena of Life and Death? You're simply overestimating yourselves. Today, the three of you will become my food!"

Seeing this, the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger, not far away, also revealed a human-like mockery. You should know that it has always relied on this move to defeat 100,000-year-old soul beasts. It was invincible and even reigned supreme in this mixed area of ​​the Star Dou Great Forest.

Not to mention, it once used its own arena of life and death to exchange a few blows with the two Soul Kings, the Titan Giant Ape and the Azure Bull Python. Although it failed to kill or devour the Titan Giant Ape and the Azure Bull Python, it still managed to make them suffer a great loss.

Just as the Dark Demon God Tiger was about to drag the three Thousand-Pound Ant King brothers into its life-or-death arena, an unexpected event occurred. The flowers and grasses swaying in the wind near the Lake of Life seemed to have had time frozen in an instant, as if someone had pressed the pause button. The lake's surface stopped rippleing, and the reflected sky turned an eerie indigo purple, with countless tiny ice crystals suspended in mid-air, refracting a chilling, eerie light.

The black stripes on the Dark Demon God Tiger suddenly flared up, and a blood-red light appeared in its eyes. The black vortex of the life-and-death arena, which had already opened, suddenly trembled violently, contracting and twisting like a heart being gripped by an invisible giant hand. The three brothers of the Thousand-Pound Ant King, whose attacks were already poised to strike, froze in mid-air. Their three pairs of compound eyes reflected a chilling scene—spiderweb-like dark patterns cracked in the sky, and a kind of pressure that transcended the rules of the life-and-death arena crashed down.

Meanwhile, in the very center of the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger's arena, which was just about to unfold into a life-or-death arena, space seemed to be torn apart by some terrifying force. In less than a moment, a massive spatial tunnel suddenly formed.

"Oh, that's interesting. The Dark Demon Evil God Tiger, the Thousand-Pound Ant King, and the other two brothers—are they vying for ownership of the Lake of Life?"

"Hehe, it's better to be lucky than late, otherwise we would have seen this good show too, right, Sister Wuyou, brother-in-law."

Standing at the very front of this spatial tunnel was none other than Yunxiao, who had directly descended to the Lake of Life from the Elf City of the Heavenly Dou Empire using his spatial abilities. Of course, behind Yunxiao were Shui Wuyou and Huo Wulu.

"Oh, the Dark Demon God Tiger? If we remember correctly, this little tiger should have been the evil god's toy back then, right?"

Upon hearing Yunxiao's reminder, Shui Wuyou and Huo Wulu looked directly at the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger, which was frozen within the range of the spacetime ability and thus unable to move.

As for the three Thousand-Pound Ant Kings beside them, they were ignored by the group present from the beginning. The three Thousand-Pound Ant Kings, who were not even 100,000-year-old soul beasts, naturally did not arouse any interest in them.
