Douluo: Reborn as a Dragon, I am the Lord of Soul Beasts

Chapter 75: Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring, Evil Emperor

A thick poisonous mist emanated from the green tentacles, spreading rapidly and covering the entire battlefield. The red tentacles flashed with a fiery light, as if they could ignite the air. Huo Yuhao and Ying Qian both felt this powerful pressure.

The Devouring Dragon roared and pounced on the Evil Eye, but the Evil Eye only moved slightly, and the green poisonous mist immediately surrounded the Devouring Dragon, and the red light also hit its scales in an instant. The Devouring Dragon's body shield quickly collapsed under this double attack, and the scales were corroded and hissed.

Huo Yuhao's eyes flashed, and he immediately activated his soul power, ready to attack. However, Ying Qian gently pressed his shoulder and whispered, "Calm down and observe."

Huo Yuhao knew what his teacher meant. This battle was not only for obtaining spirit rings, but also a valuable learning opportunity. So he forced himself to calm down and closely watched every detail on the battlefield.

The evil eye obviously had an absolute advantage, and its attack methods were not only diverse but also extremely effective. The Devouring Dragon struggled painfully under the double attack of poisonous fog and flames, and its scales kept peeling off and bleeding. But it did not admit defeat, and launched Devouring the World again, trying to reverse the situation.

However, the evil eye reacted even faster. Its huge blood-red eyes narrowed slightly, and a purple light suddenly shot out, hitting the Devouring Dragon's head. The Devouring Dragon screamed, its body trembled violently, and finally fell to the ground under this powerful mental attack.

"Teacher, what should we do?" Huo Yuhao asked nervously.

Ying Qian smiled slightly, with a gleam in his eyes: "Yuhao, you are so lucky today, do you want a top-grade spirit ring?"

Huo Yuhao’s heart was shaken, and a trace of doubt flashed in his eyes: “Teacher, what do you mean…?”

Ying Qian smiled faintly: "If I'm not mistaken, the strength of this evil eye master should be more than 30,000 years old. What do you think? Are you interested in letting him be your spirit ring?"

After hearing what Ying Qian said, Huo Yuhao was stunned. You know, the limit of a soul master's fourth soul ring is about 4,000 years. The fourth soul ring is a 10,000-year soul ring. It seems that only Tang San, the ancestor of the Tang Sect, 10,000 years ago, could do it. And that was only a 10,000-year soul ring. Now Ying Qian actually let him absorb this 30,000-year-old evil eye master. Isn't he afraid that his life is not long enough?

Just when Huo Yuhao was hesitating, Alex in his mind suddenly spoke.

"Yuhao, I have a way that may help you absorb this spirit ring."

“Master Yi? Are you awake?” Huo Yuhao was delighted. Master Yi rarely spoke, but every time he spoke, he would bring him great surprises, just like when he said he could help him absorb a 30,000-year spirit ring. To be honest, who wouldn’t want a 10,000-year fourth spirit ring?

"I have not fallen asleep. I have been awake all the way. I heard clearly the conversation between you and that person." Old Yi said calmly.

Huo Yuhao was stunned for a moment, then he said: "Master Yi, that means, what the teacher said?"

"Well, you can try. After all, I have been in your body for so long, and I have a pretty good understanding of the cultivation system in your world, not to mention the story of the big bug. I also have some opinions on the relationship between soul masters and soul beasts. If the research on artificial soul rings that person mentioned has made some progress, then maybe my magic can really help him."

“That’s great. After I obtain the fourth spirit ring this time, I will tell my teacher and ask him to take us to see the research on that artificial spirit ring.” Huo Yuhao said excitedly.

In fact, Huo Yuhao had always wanted to improve the relationship between soul beasts and soul masters, so he did not have much resistance to the artificial soul ring plan proposed by Ying Qian.

"Let's talk about this later! Now let's get your fourth soul ring first!" After saying this, Old Yi regained his composure.

After Huo Yuhao recovered, he hurriedly looked in the direction of Ying Qian.

However, he discovered that Ying Qian was flying in the air at this moment, with one hand emitting colorful light, holding the Evil Eye Tyrant, who was so arrogant just now, firmly in his hand.

Seeing that Huo Yuhao's expression had returned to clarity, Ying Qian knew without hesitation who Huo Yuhao had just talked to.

Ying Qian was simply not interested in their whispers and asked directly: "How is it? Yuhao, do you want this spirit ring or not?"

This time Huo Yuhao did not hesitate at all, but nodded. After getting Yi Lao's assurance, Huo Yuhao also felt that he might be able to try to absorb the spirit ring of this 30,000-year-old evil-eyed tyrant.

Ying Qian looked at his student with satisfaction and nodded slightly, saying, "Okay, remember, the eyes are the Evil Eye Tyrant's most powerful means of attack, and also its only weakness."

“Here, I give it to you.” Ying Qian said, controlling the Evil Eye Tyrant to fly down directly, and threw the huge Evil Eye Tyrant in front of Huo Yuhao like a dead dog.

At this moment, the Evil Eye Tyrant had been completely suppressed by Ying Qian's dragon might, and it could hardly exert even a single ounce of its 30,000-year strength. Not to mention in front of Huo Yuhao, even in front of an ordinary spirit master, it would be easy to kill it.

Huo Yuhao did not hesitate and directly activated his ultimate ice soul skill. A ray of ice-blue light instantly froze the body of the evil eye. Just as Huo Yuhao was about to understand the slant-eyed tyrant, the 30,000-year-old evil eye tyrant's angry voice sounded.

"If you dare to kill me, you're dead. My father will avenge me, he will avenge me! If you let me go, I promise to let you go safely. No, no!"

As the evil eye let out a shrill scream, Huo Yuhao immediately stabbed into the huge eyeball of the evil eye tyrant. In an instant, bright red liquid flowed out of the huge eyeball and gradually lost its vitality. Huo Yuhao looked at the inky black soul ring and breathed a sigh of relief, with excitement flashing in his eyes.

Ying Qian walked up to Huo Yuhao and patted him on the shoulder: "Well done, Yuhao. Now, you can absorb this spirit ring."

Huo Yuhao nodded, sat down cross-legged, and began to absorb the evil eye's soul ring. The black soul ring slowly rose from the evil eye's body and merged into Huo Yuhao's body. He could feel a powerful force surging in his body, which was the evil eye's mental power and soul power.

Ying Qian and Huo Yuhao didn't care about what the Slant-Eyed Tyrant just said. Huo Yuhao thought that the Slant-Eyed Tyrant was a spiritual beast, and it was not surprising that it could speak after 30,000 years. Ying Qian heard the hidden meaning of the Slant-Eyed Tyrant, but he didn't care at all. In front of Ying Qian, even if the Slant-Eyed Tyrant came in person, Ying Qian would not be afraid. And if he really came, Ying Qian would simply recover the sphere of influence of the soul beasts in the Demon Forest.

However, just as Huo Yuhao was about to start absorbing the soul ring, an indescribable sense of horrific danger slowly came from behind. A powerful and angry voice seemed to be heard in every corner of the Demonic Forest.

"Who is it? Who killed my son? Who is it!" This voice was entirely a thought emitted by mental power. Whether it was human or soul beast, they could clearly feel the anger and the incomparable and terrifying mental power.

More than one-third of the entire Demonic Forest was distorted. But it didn't harm any plants.

Countless soul beasts covered their heads in pain and fell to the ground at this moment.

Huo Yuhao's body also obviously slowed down for a moment, and he was horrified.

When Huo Yuhao heard the evil-eyed tyrant say that its father would avenge it, he didn't take it seriously. He thought it was more of a threat. A hundred thousand year old soul beast, after suffering a loss, still called him daddy. This was simply too ridiculous.

However, now that he had calmed down from the battle, coupled with this angry roar, he suddenly realized a problem.

There are people who can be the father of a hundred thousand year old soul beast, and the father of the evil eye tyrant. There are people like that in this evil forest!
Given that person's age and level of accomplishment, isn't that enough?

In fact, Huo Yuhao's luck was really good. From the perspective of obtaining spirit rings, no spirit beast was more suitable than the one he had just killed with all his strength. And his luck was a bit too good to be true. The one he had just killed was the true ruler of the Demonic Forest, the first fierce beast of the Sun Moon Empire, the second fierce beast of the entire continent, and the youngest son of the Evil Eye Tyrant Lord, who was known as the Evil Emperor.

Just when Huo Yuhao was about to forcibly stop absorbing the spirit ring, he heard Ying Qian’s voice ringing in his ears: “Continue to absorb your spirit ring. No matter what happens, do not stop absorbing your spirit ring. This is not an ordinary fourth spirit ring. It is a 30,000-year-old fourth spirit ring. If you forcibly stop absorbing it, even if you don’t die, you will become a cripple.”

What Ying Qian said was right, the absorption of the spirit ring had already begun. And Yi Lao also reminded Huo Yuhao that even if the sky outside was falling, he should not act recklessly, and everything had to wait until the spirit ring was absorbed.

Seeing Huo Yuhao absorbing his spirit ring again, Ying Qian stared into the distance, and the dragon wings behind him spread out. In an instant, he soared a thousand meters above the ground and shouted to the terrifying spiritual power: "Evil Emperor, I know it's you, come out and speak."

Just as Ying Qian finished speaking, a huge red beam of light suddenly shot up from the deepest part of the Demonic Forest. The diameter of this red beam of light was over 100 meters, and it could be clearly seen even outside the Demonic Forest.

The light column rose up to a height of more than a thousand meters, and the clouds in the sky quickly gathered around it.

This huge beam of light broke through the clouds, rendering everything around it blood-red. The clouds gradually dispersed, revealing a huge blood-red eye.

This blood-red eye was thousands of meters above the sky, staring at Ying Qian quietly. The same vigorous voice from before sounded again.

"Who are you? How dare you set foot in the Demon Forest? What do you want from me?" The voice echoed in the air like thunder, full of majesty and disdain.

Ying Qian smiled slightly, not moved at all. The dragon wings behind him flapped gently, and the whole person was suspended in the air. His eyes were firm and full of confidence: "Humph, calling you the Evil Emperor is giving you face, but you dare to call yourself the Emperor in front of me. You are a little ungrateful."

As soon as he finished speaking, the Evil Emperor's laughter came like thunder: "Hahaha, you are so arrogant! For so many years, even the Beast God Emperor Tian dared not speak to me like this. However, since you are here, don't leave."

Ying Qian's expression remained calm. He raised his hand and a red-gold light shot out from his palm, directly hitting the huge blood-red eyes. It was the sacred power he condensed, representing the symbol of destruction and devastation.

The light in the evil emperor's eyes changed slightly, obviously he did not expect Ying Qian to be so bold, but he did not back down. The light in his blood-red eyes suddenly intensified, and the two powerful forces collided in the air, bursting out with dazzling light.

"What a trick! Who are you?" The Evil Emperor's voice sounded again, this time with a hint of vigilance and surprise.

Ying Qian sneered, a hint of coldness flashed in his eyes: "I will return what you just said to you intactly. You are not worthy of knowing who I am. I was the one who killed your son. What, you want revenge?"

The blood-red eyes of the Evil Emperor instantly flashed with a crazy light, and the entire Demon Forest seemed to tremble in his furious breath. The voice was filled with endless anger and hatred: "You are looking for death!"

“Hahaha!” Ying Qian laughed loudly, meeting the evil emperor’s angry gaze without fear. “I told you, you don’t deserve it. Your son died in my hands simply because he did something he shouldn’t have done. And if you don’t know how to advance or retreat, this will be your burial place today.”

"How dare you!" The evil emperor roared, and the whole sky instantly turned blood red, with a strong killing intent filling the air. His mental power surged wildly, as if he was going to tear Ying Qian apart in the next moment.

Ying Qian remained calm, his eyes like frozen lake water, without any ripples. He raised his hand slightly, and a golden light shot out from his hand, rushing straight into the sky, instantly confronting the bloody aura of the Evil Emperor. The two forces collided violently in mid-air, erupting with a deafening roar, and the entire Demon Forest trembled.

"Evil Emperor, what do you think you can do to me?" Ying Qian's voice was as cold as ice. "I came here today without any such intention, but since you are here, I will just tell you! From now on, all soul beasts must respect me, including you. If you don't know what's best for you, you will bear the consequences yourself."

The Evil Emperor's anger grew even stronger: "Do you think you can fight against my entire Demon Forest by yourself? You are too arrogant."

Ying Qian sneered: "I overestimate my abilities? Then give it a try!"

After saying this, he put his hands together, and golden light surged out of his body again, quickly forming a huge light shield around him, like a golden fortress, indestructible. The blood-colored aura of the evil emperor continued to impact this light shield, but could never break through.

"You!" There was a hint of shock and unwillingness in the Evil Emperor's voice.

Ying Qian smiled slightly, and said with a playful look: "Evil Emperor, I will give you a chance, surrender. I don't want to waste time here. If you insist on your wrongdoing, you will die here today."
