The faint smile on Dai Chengfeng's lips remained unchanged, while the Dark Demon Evil God Wings on his back suddenly erupted with a profound black light. The dark patterns on the wings seemed to come alive, flowing ceaselessly.
The power of the Evil God surged forth!
Hum——!
Instantly, a special force field with a diameter of about a hundred meters expanded from Dai Chengfeng as its center. The edges of the force field were blurred and distorted, seemingly isolating reality.
Within the force field, spatial rules were forcibly rewritten, making perceptions of time and space abnormal.
The forward momentum of the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger abruptly halted, its crimson animalistic eyes revealing an expression of disbelief for the first time.
It was all too familiar with this power!
This was indeed its ultimate innate domain ability—the Arena of Life and Death!
Though the form and method of activation were slightly different, the core rule-based power undoubtedly originated from the bloodline essence of the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger!
"Roar?!"
The Dark Demon Evil God Tiger let out a roar filled with both surprise and anger. It couldn't comprehend how a human could master the Arena of Life and Death so proficiently?
But soon after, a cold, mocking smirk flashed in its eyes.
This foolish human actually intended to use its own power against it? This was simply courting death!
At this moment, a barely perceptible gray current enveloped the surface of the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger, gently rippling as it shielded its massive body.
It even abandoned any plans to evade, standing proudly in place, ready to enter the Arena of Life and Death.
It wanted to personally witness this human's despair within its most proficient domain!
Dai Chengfeng took in the reaction of the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger with a hidden smile:
"Sure enough, you fell for it. Your arrogance is the beginning of your downfall!"
The next second, the black light emitted by the Dark Demon Evil God Wings reached its peak, and the twisted force field suddenly contracted and solidified!
In the Great Star Dou Forest, on the open ground across the stream, the figures of Dai Chengfeng and the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger vanished without a trace, leaving behind only a barely perceptible ripple in space.
"Dai Chengfeng!"
Despite Dai Chengfeng's earlier instructions, seeing him disappear before their very eyes caused Zhu Zhuqing, Ning Rongrong, and Hu Liena's hearts to leap into their throats.
"Do not worry too much," Grand Priest consoled the three girls. "You heard what Chengfeng said just now! Trust him!"
After speaking, the Grand Priest's gaze remained fixed on the area where Dai Chengfeng had disappeared…
Now, all she could do was restrain the others and patiently await the outcome.
"Chengfeng, be safe!"

Meanwhile, inside the Arena of Life and Death.
This was a peculiar space; the sky was a dark red, resembling a frozen dusk, devoid of sun, moon, or stars.
The earth was barren, consisting only of hard, dark-colored rocks.
The boundaries of the space were indistinct, permeated with an ancient, cruel atmosphere that would only end when one side fell.
The figures of Dai Chengfeng and the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger simultaneously appeared in the center of this space, separated by no more than fifty meters.
The Dark Demon Evil God Tiger first cautiously looked around, confirming that this was indeed a domain space similar to its 'Arena of Life and Death.' It then locked its gaze back on Dai Chengfeng, the surprise in its animalistic eyes completely replaced by arrogance and cruelty.
It growled low, its thoughts filled with mockery:
"Human, you've gone through great lengths to drag us into this death arena, how utterly foolish!"
"Do you know that under these rules, my Evil God Protection can withstand any weakening effects?"
"Thinking of reverting me to infancy? A delusional fantasy!"
The Dark Demon Evil God Tiger was certain that Dai Chengfeng's plan was to utilize the time reversal rule of the domain.
But in fact…
From the very beginning, Dai Chengfeng's goal wasn't to make it shrink directly.
Instead, it was to create an absolute one-on-one battlefield with no interruptions and exploit its blind confidence in its own "Evil God Protection!"
Dai Chengfeng appeared not to have "heard" its mockery, merely watching it with calm, unruffled eyes.
This calmness made the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger feel a hint of unease, but more so a rage at being underestimated.
A mere human with soul power of only Level 60—what was he trying to act mysterious about?
"Roar!"
The Dark Demon Evil God Tiger no longer hesitated. It intended to tear this human apart and devour his flesh and soul imbued with special divine power!
Its hind legs forcefully pushed off the ground, its massive body transforming into a streak of black lightning, charging towards Dai Chengfeng with a terrifying aura that tore through everything!
Its scorpion-like tail subtly rose, the icy blue tip locking onto Dai Chengfeng's vital points, ready to deliver a fatal blow at any moment.
Facing this ferocious charge, Dai Chengfeng moved.
His footsteps changed, his figure ghosting backward like a phantom, while soul power surged around him.
"Second Soul Skill: White Emperor Domain, Second Stage: White Tiger Holy Spirit Transformation!"
"Third Soul Skill: Nine Profound Mysterious Wind!"
Both enhancement soul skills activated simultaneously!
As the White Tiger martial soul surged into his body, Dai Chengfeng's stature suddenly grew taller, muscles bulging, his skin surface covered with mysterious patterns interwoven with white gold and dark gold. His presence instantly soared.
Although still not matching the overwhelming fluctuations of the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger's soul power, the refinement and purity carried an inviolable majesty.
Especially with the gentle flapping of the Dark Demon Evil God Wings, his speed and agility reached astonishing levels.
In the nick of time, he narrowly avoided the direct frontal assault of the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger.
Seeing its initial pounce miss, the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger's eyes flashed with surprise, clearly not expecting Dai Chengfeng to be so fast.
However, with its wealth of battle experience, it twisted its waist, and its steel-whip-like tiger tail, accompanied by a piercing whistling sound, swept horizontally!
Simultaneously, it opened its mouth and spat out a pitch-black energy ball, containing highly condensed darkness and evil energy, causing even space to distort slightly wherever it passed—Dark Annihilation Bomb!
Tail strike to seal movement, Dark Annihilation Bomb as the main attack! Their coordination was seamless, exceptionally ruthless!
Dai Chengfeng's pupils contracted, unwilling to directly face the Dark Annihilation Bomb.
He violently flapped the wings on his back, his figure shooting skyward. Simultaneously, his hands traced a virtual line across his chest, a burst of silvery-white spatial cutting force erupting suddenly!
"Fourth Soul Skill, Dimensional Slash!"
Instantly, the Dimensional Slash collided fiercely with the pitch-black Dark Annihilation Bomb.
Boom——!
Silver and pitch-black energies frantically eroded and annihilated each other, emitting a deafening explosion.
An energy storm swept outward, causing Dai Chengfeng's robes to flutter loudly.
He used the impact of the explosion to increase the distance once again.
Seeing this, the eyes of the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger glinted with even more ferocity.
This ant, far more slippery than it had imagined!
Its four limbs pressed against the ground, and dark energy spread outward from it as the center—its domain skill, Dark Domain!
Immediately, the evil aura within the Arena of Life and Death surged, a powerful oppressive force akin to a mountain pressing down upon Dai Chengfeng, attempting to erode his will and weaken his strength.
Within the Dark Domain, Dai Chengfeng immediately felt his soul power circulation become sluggish, a violent, despairing negative emotion attempting to assail his mental sea.
However, at the center of his mental sea, the fate skull obtained from the Three-Eyed Golden Lion faintly glowed…
A cool, noble spiritual force flowed out, easily stabilizing his mind.
