Star Dou Forest
Several hours later, I arrived at the Star Dou Forest to check up on the Silver Dragon King Gu Yuena and the rest of the Spirit Beasts and how they were doing.
As I walked through the areas of the Star Dou Forest, I noticed something interesting. One certain Spirit Beasts that were preying on the other Spirit Beast with unique attributes, as it was touched by the Laws itself.
It is a black giant tiger, pure black all over, without a speck of another color. It is no less than eight meters long, bulging with muscle, maybe weighing more than half a tonne; it was clear that this one was still a very young specimen. The 'king' mark on his forehead is also black, but a different shade of black from its fur, a black as gloomy as mist. Its red eyes brim with viciousness, but the most peculiar feature is its tail. The tail is much longer compared to ordinary tiger-type Spirit Beasts; it greatly resembles a scorpion's tail formed from countless bone joints with a giant hook attached that is oriented upward, and it glints with a cold light.
It was a Dark Devilgod Tiger.
"What an irony."
I muttered to myself as I observed the Dark Devilgod Tiger.
I had some information about Dark Devilgod Tiger in my library. It was the very rare type of the Spirit Beats; in legends, it is a mutation that occurred as an evil god descended on the White Tiger, turning the White Tiger's light attribute into darkness attribute, producing black wings of corruption, as well as scorpion tail-like Devilgod Hook.
The Dark Devilgod Tiger possesses an extremely overbearing talent. However, it doesn't mature through cultivation, and its cultivation is extremely difficult.
It can rise in strength quickly only by devouring Spirit Beasts or human Spirit Masters' spirit power.
Consequently, no matter in what environment the Dark Devilgod Tiger appears, it immediately becomes the focus of indiscriminate hatred of local Spirit Beasts that would exterminate it before it grows strong enough to threaten their lives.
It was the perfect candidate as my familiar.
I planned to contract it and bring it back to the Astral Boundary, as it was currently very weak; because it was basically a youngling, I could easily convert its cultivation system to that of the Astral Boundary.
Its current strength was only around the Commander Level, which in terms of the Douluo Ranks would be Spirit Elder; from the scans, I have noticed that it was only several years old, which was good progress, genuinely befitting the name of its species.
In the Chthonian Empire, it would be able to feed freely on criminals and other offenders that are usually thrown to Dou Dou, so she can absorb them as their fertilizer; thanks to that, she has already grown to a Pinnacle of the Monarch Level, and her next evolution was nearing. Only some corpses on the Super Devil Class or its equivalent were needed for her to successfully evolve into a higher form.
Meanwhile, Isla, my cute little Wampus Cat, was still a long way from Leveling up, as she was too young, and now she had entered the slow phase of her growth.
I walked up to the Dark Devilgod Tiger that was feeding on the deceased Spirit Beast and released some of my aura as the Dark Devilgod Tiger froze in its tracks.
Like Monster and Magical Beasts in the Astral Boundary, Spirit Beasts were intelligent creatures, especially those with exceptional bloodlines. This Dark Devilgod Tiger had an extraordinary bloodline, so he was very intelligent and the moment he sensed my aura, he noticed that it was very similar to his own in the fundamental attributes, so he slowly came to me.
I took out some Divine Crystals and showed them to the Dark Devilgod Tiger; as his eyes shined as he saw the Divine Crystals. While he didn't know what they were, he knew that they were very beneficial for him, so he looked at them in wonder and lessened his guard against me.
"If you want these, you will need to become my familiar. Afterward, you can have as many of these as you want, and you can eat beings and monsters without being hunted by anyone."
I said to the Dark Devilgod Tiger.
I explained everything that would happen if the Dark Devilgod Tiger became familiar. It was all sound and clear, and with the intelligence of the Dark Devilgod Tiger, he quickly understood everything and agreed to become my Familiar.
"Good boy... you can now eat these."
I said as I petted his head and gave him some Divine Crystals to eat.
Afterward, the Dark Devilgod Tiger obediently followed me like a cub following its mother.
"Do you have a name?"
I asked as we walked through the Star Dou Forest.
Dark Devilgod Tiger only shook his head in denial.
"Then your name will be Heishen, meaning Black God."
I named my new familiar as Dark Devilgod Tiger, now named Heishen nodded his head happily, apparently satisfied with his new name.
"Greetings, Senior."
Said Di Tian as I arrived at the Core Area of the Star Dou Forest. He was a lot stronger compared to before, probably on the grasp of the godhood, just a step away from becoming a Divine Beast.
He should have perfectly digested the residual energy of the Divine Crystals that I gave him.
"Hello there... I have made a new familiar."
I said as I pointed at the Dark Devilgod Tiger, that was obediently following me.
"I see that... congratulations."
Said Di Tian respectfully.
"How are things going on?"
I asked as I started petting the head of the Heishen the Dark Devilgod Tiger.
"My Lord is recuperating faster with the help from you; after one or two decades, she will be back to her full strength. Additionally, after fewer people are hunting Spirit Beasts, it is more peaceful here, and stronger Spirit Beasts are born and promoted."
He stated as I nodded in satisfaction.
"Good... very good."
