Chapter 269 The Missing Evil Emperor
As the second most ferocious beast on the continent, the Evil Emperor's strength is beyond doubt, and all the soul beasts in the Sun Moon Empire are led by him.
The Evil Emperor once came to the Star Dou Great Forest alone to fight Emperor Tian for three days and three nights in order to seize the Heavenly Dream.
In the end, although the Evil Emperor was no match for Emperor Tian, he still managed to severely injure Emperor Tian by relying on his unparalleled spiritual power.
Furthermore, the Evil Emperor was extremely tyrannical. After being defeated by Di Tian, he attempted to destroy Xing Dou by self-destruction.
If it weren't for the slumbering Silver Dragon King stopping them, the current landscape of the soul beast world would likely be drastically different.
During this hunt for the Evil Emperor, everyone was on high alert, wary that he might ultimately choose a desperate, all-or-nothing approach.
To ensure everything went perfectly, Huo Yuhao even summoned Electrolux, who was cultivating at the bottom of the Lake of Life.
"Tianmeng," Huo Yuhao and his group flew directly across the border of the Sun Moon Empire, "Let's use the Great Dream Corridor when necessary."
"To unlock the cultivation of the Desolate Demon Eye, the Evil Emperor's soul ring and soul bone are indispensable."
To withstand the blindness that comes with cultivating the Desolate Demon Eye, Huo Yuhao needs to sacrifice a piece of extremely high-quality head soul bone.
An ordinary 100,000-year-old head bone is absolutely unacceptable, not even a 100,000-year-old pure spiritual evil eye bone.
Only the head bone of the Evil Emperor could support his cultivation of the Desolate Demon Eye and withstand its enormous backlash.
Tianmeng responded with a heartfelt resonance: "I know Brother Hao."
"Now that you have absorbed seventy or eighty percent of my million-year-old spiritual essence, after obtaining the Evil Emperor Soul Ring, your spiritual power will transform into a tangible and substantial realm."
"And when you reach the Soul Saint level and completely absorb the remaining essence, you'll probably be able to deal with the full-strength Niu Tian on your own."
The Niu Tian in his prime, as mentioned by Tian Meng, refers to his divine official status in the divine realm.
The Water and Fire Dragon King's soul bone greatly aided Huo Yuhao.
Especially with the two Dragon Kings' domains, after merging with the Heavenly Heart Interaction, Huo Yuhao was almost destined to become the master of a world.
"The Grand Dream Corridor of Tianmeng, if you can stay, then stay."
Di Tian said, "I have never used my Dragon God Claw against the Evil Emperor."
To humans, the Dragon God's Claw is no different from an extremely powerful soul skill.
However, for soul beasts, unless they have received divine protection, they cannot resist the aura emanating from it.
"Something's not right," Electrox suddenly stopped high in the sky. "Why are there so many Sun and Moon Soldiers around the Demon Forest?"
"Could it be that the Sun Moon Empire also wants to follow the example of the Fighting Spirit Empire and form a cooperation with the Evil Emperor?"
All eyes were focused on the edge of the Demon Forest.
The area surrounding the forest was not the territory of ordinary soul beasts, but rather a dense cluster of Sun Moon Empire military tents and patrols.
The eerie light emanating from the soul-guided array flickered, sealing off the entrance to the Demon Forest like an iron barrel.
This is no ordinary military exercise or border garrison; its scale and purpose suggest something unusual.
"cooperate?"
Di Tian's eyes narrowed slightly: "Xu Tianyuan certainly has quite the appetite."
"However, given the Evil Emperor's tyrannical and obsessive nature, there is absolutely no way he could genuinely cooperate with humanity, especially an empire."
"It only believes in the supremacy of power, and the bargaining chips that the Sun Moon Empire can offer are not enough to entice it."
At this moment, Xue Di said, "Could it be that the destruction of the Douling Empire has made them all feel the pressure?"
"At least on the surface, the Heavenly Soul Empire still has two ultimate combat powers, and your incarnation, Gu Tian, even severely damaged the Star Dou Great Forest under the guise of self-destruction."
Huo Yuhao and his group hovered high in the sky, looking down at the Sun Moon Empire's army, which was ready for battle, at the edge of the forest.
A chilling atmosphere permeated the air, intertwining with the cold, oppressive energy emanating from the demonic forest itself, creating a suffocating sense of oppression.
"There's no need to discuss the far north."
Huo Yuhao spoke up: "Back when Xu Tianran was in power, Sun and Moon suspected that the far north had already reached a cooperation agreement with Heavenly Soul."
"Now that the Douling Empire has been destroyed, the Star Dou Great Forest has also been nominally severely damaged."
"Whether it's the Sun Moon Empire or the Evil Emperor, they must both be afraid that someone might emulate Gu Tian and sacrifice themselves to destroy the Demon Forest."
"Especially given that the entire continent knows I possess a spiritual martial soul, and that the 'Northern Dragon Emperor' exists."
"They're probably more afraid that I'll include the Evil Emperor in my considerations for a Soul Ring."
The ripples caused by the fall of the Douling Empire were exceptionally profound.
The suspicions left behind by Xu Tianran, coupled with Xu Tianyuan's fear, led them to deploy a large force to seal off the Demon Forest, just to prevent any potential trouble.
"Forced entry is not difficult."
Poison Immortal replied, "But the commotion caused by hunting down the Evil Emperor is definitely not small. The presence of these troops will only add more variables."
"There are definitely more than one level-nine fixed-position soul-guided cannon shell lying in ambush here."
The Sun and Moon Empire has gone all out this time.
If any Limit Douluo-level being were to force their way into the army formation or clash with the Evil Emperor, they would likely not hesitate to detonate these destructive weapons, attempting to wipe out the intruders and the entrance to the Demon Forest, even at a great cost, to prevent anyone from getting close to the Evil Emperor.
And this is only the outer area of the forest.
It's likely that the Demon Forest has already been developed into an impregnable fortress by the Sun and Moon Empire.
"It can't be that simple."
Di Tian's gaze swept into the depths of the forest: "Even if the Evil Emperor knew of the threat posed by the two extremes, it's unlikely he would agree to the Sun and Moon Empire's deployment of troops in the Demon Forest at this level."
Everyone remained silent, sensing the strangeness of the situation.
If they hadn't learned about the Evil Emperor's personality from Di Tian beforehand, no one would have suspected anything.
But knowing that the Evil Emperor was tyrannical and arrogant, everything in the Demon Forest seemed strange.
"Tianmeng and I will go down and take a look."
Huo Yuhao activated the simulation and descended from the sky with Tianmeng.
He suspected that the Evil Emperor might have secretly controlled the army of the Sun Moon Empire below with his extraordinary mental power.
However, reality was not as Huo Yuhao had predicted.
The Sun Moon Empire's army was perfectly normal, behaving naturally. Even when they used magic and the talisman system, Huo Yuhao could not see any trace of them being manipulated.
It was as if the Evil Emperor had truly allowed the Sun and Moon Empire to maintain such a large-scale military presence in the Demon Forest.
Huo Yuhao took to the air again, using his own mental power to isolate himself from the detection of the high-altitude soul tool together with Electrolux.
"The Evil Emperor—"
Huo Yuhao murmured to himself, "The Sun Moon Empire—"
Suddenly, a thought flashed through his mind.
Holy Spirit Cult!
The Holy Spirit Cult's original headquarters on the mainland was located underground in the Demon Forest!
"not good!"
Huo Yuhao hurriedly transmitted his voice through the telepathic connection: "The Evil Emperor is not in the Demon Forest right now!"
"He's most likely at sea right now! Hunting the Demon Emperor alongside the Holy Spirit Cult!"
"Even worse—it was already taken over by the Holy Spirit Cult!"
According to the information that the Demon Emperor once revealed to Di Tian, Zhong Liwu, the current leader of the Holy Spirit Cult, possesses a bone dragon.
Apart from Ye Xishui, no one knew where Zhongliwu obtained this bone dragon.
This skeletal dragon has been refined by Zhongli Wu into his natal beast spirit, and has even become part of his martial soul, possessing the ability to devour the souls of soul beasts to achieve self-breakthrough.
After wiping out the mermaid race in the ocean, Zhongli Wu entered the deepest seclusion, wanting to break through the barrier of Limit Douluo in one fell swoop.
If Zhongli Wu successfully breaks through his limit, then together with Ye Xishui and Long Xiaoyao, the Holy Spirit Sect will also have three Limit Breakers.
Beyond the limit, if Zhongli Wu wants to go any further, then he can only set his sights on Di Tian, Xie Di, Mo Huang, and Xue Di.
The Evil Emperor is a pure spiritual attribute soul beast, ranking second among the top ten ferocious beasts in strength, and possesses bizarre abilities.
Zhongli Wu may not be confident that he can defeat the Evil Emperor.
Therefore, it is highly likely that the Holy Spirit Cult, under the guise of a Holy Emperor whose existence is unknown, and using the Demon Emperor's whale pearl as bait, invited the Evil Emperor to hunt the Demon Emperor together.
As a deep-sea demon whale, the Demon Emperor's whale pearl can definitely help the Evil Emperor break through the 800,000-year limit in one fell swoop.
This was also a huge temptation for the Evil Emperor.
"Tianmeng, Elder Yi, help me!"
Huo Yuhao unleashed his mental probe, condensing it into a straight line and scanning it across the demonic forest before him.
As expected, the Evil Emperor was not in the Demon Forest.
Meanwhile, on the continent of Dragons, overseas.
The Demon Emperor transformed into the form of a deep-sea demon whale, stirring up storms across the ocean.
The sea beneath her had turned as black as ink, and the immense pressure made the space itself seem to freeze.
The sky above was also pitch black, with only a single, striking crimson glow.
The Evil Emperor's three-hundred-meter-tall eyeball hovered high in the sky, unleashing its destructive light upon the Demon Emperor.
A crimson beam of light, condensed to its extreme and seemingly capable of piercing through the barriers of the world, tore through the dark sky and slammed into the Demon Emperor in the sea!
The Demon Emperor roared, and his massive body instantly erupted with violent blue-purple lightning, which intertwined to form a destructive lightning domain, forcefully meeting the beam of destruction head-on!
Boom! ...
The ultimate clash between light and thunder!
An indescribable explosion occurred, and the space shattered inch by inch like fragile glass.
The seawater evaporated, creating a huge, bottomless crater, which was then filled with the influx of seawater in the next second, forming an even more terrifying vortex. The darkness of the sky was torn apart, only to be filled with an even stronger aura of destruction.
The crimson beam of light and the raging lightning were locked in a stalemate, annihilating and devouring each other.
The Evil Emperor's spiritual power was as vast as an abyss, carrying a pure will to destroy.
The power of the deep sea in the desert is even more magnificent and profound, containing the boundless power of the ocean.
The clash between the two peerless ferocious beasts turned this sea area into a complete no-man's land.
"The Evil Emperor!"
The Demon Emperor's voice was filled with madness: "My whale pearl will only be the beginning of your complete annihilation by the Holy Spirit Cult!"
"Do you really think Zhongli Wu would share him with you?"
"When I die, my body, or his skeletal dragon, will be your final resting place!"
Upon hearing this, the Evil Emperor's enormous pupils seemed to contract violently.
It certainly knows that the Holy Spirit Church is unreliable.
But the temptation to break the 800,000 mark is just too great.
The Evil Emperor's spiritual power swept across the surroundings imperceptibly.
The Holy Spirit Cult didn't send many people this time; only Long Xiaoyao, Zhong Liwu, Feng Ling, and Zhang Peng came.
Ye Xishui is said to have broken through to become a demigod and is currently in seclusion to stabilize her realm.
The Evil Emperor felt confident in his strength and was not afraid of Ye Xishui, who had become a demigod.
He could fight against Di Tian, a quasi-god level being, for three days and three nights, so naturally he wouldn't be afraid of Ye Xishui, a demigod level being.
That insurmountable bottleneck had been holding it back for far too long.
The Demon Emperor's whale pearl, containing the essence of a deep-sea demon whale and its immense life force, is the Evil Emperor's only hope for breaking through.
He wants whale pearls!
We absolutely must get the whale pearl!
"Senior Evil Emperor!"
Zhongli Wu spoke up promptly: "Don't listen to this beast's dying words of sowing discord!"
"Feng Ling, Zhang Peng, cooperate fully with me, the Supreme Elder, to suppress the Demon Emperor!"
Long Xiaoyao understood immediately.
The Dark Holy Dragon Martial Soul unleashed an even more powerful aura. The dense dark domain, like viscous ink, surged towards the Demon Emperor, attempting to interfere with her actions and senses, while also "protecting" the Evil Emperor to some extent.
The Evil Emperor let out an even more ferocious mental shriek, pouring all his killing intent onto the Demon Emperor!
At the center of that 300-meter-tall giant eye, crimson light once again gathered wildly, even more dazzling and dangerous than before!
This time, there were no reservations.
With his spiritual power highly concentrated, the destructive beam of light was no longer a single ray, but rather like a flood that had been released, transforming into a crimson rain of light that covered the sky!
Each ray of light contained a destructive will powerful enough to pierce mountains and annihilate souls, pouring down like divine punishment, with only one target—the Deep Sea Demon Whale King!
He wanted to use absolute power to defeat the Demon Emperor and seize the Whale Pearl in the shortest possible time!
He wanted to control the situation and not give the Holy Spirit Cult any opportunity to take advantage!
"idiot!"
A hint of despair flashed in the Demon Emperor's enormous whale eyes, but deeper still lay the madness of being driven to the brink of despair!
The Evil Emperor's full power, coupled with the restraint from the two Limit Douluos, Long Xiaoyao and Zhongli Wu, greatly increased the pressure on her.
Moreover, on the current battlefield, there are also level 98 Feng Ling and level 97 Zhang Peng interfering from the sidelines.
The Demon Emperor let out a deafening roar, his massive body twisting wildly in the sea.
With immense force, her whale tail slammed into the sea, creating towering waves.
Delay time!
We must stall for time!
The Demon Emperor has been informed of Huo Yuhao's mission to hunt down the Evil Emperor in the Demon Forest.
Once Huo Yuhao and his group see the empty Demon Forest, they will inevitably realize the impending fall of the Dragon Continent through the Evil Emperor's previous cooperation with the Holy Spirit Cult.
Because of the undead demiplane and the interdimensional portal, Huo Yuhao and his group arrived here in an instant!
Waterfalls filled the sky, like countless azure spears shooting from the sea, causing space to explode as they met the Evil Emperor's crimson pillar of light—a terrifying sight.
Waaah—
A fierce wind howled across the land, and tornadoes raged across the area.
This is Zhongli Wu making his move.
He summoned the bone dragon, which was said to have been blessed by the Silver Dragon King in his previous life, and it stood in the sky, creating a great wind that shattered the surrounding air and attacked the Demon Emperor.
A dark holy dragon roared, causing the water surface to explode.
This enormous dark holy dragon leaped down from the sky, its claws tearing through space, causing a tremor.
The three ultimate powers joined forces, their dazzling light flowing and their supreme soul power overwhelming, engulfing the Demon Emperor below.
"You're not enough to kill me!"
The Demon Emperor roared, and behind him, the sea of lightning surged and giant waves roared.
Blood rained down, turning most of the sea red, a scene both tragic and eerie.
The battle cries shook the heavens as the Demon Emperor and the five powerful figures clashed fiercely, their killing intent sweeping across the vast expanse and shaking the void.
The blood was a deep crimson, blending with the sunset on the horizon, a sight that sent chills down one's spine.
No matter how powerful the Demon Emperor was, he ultimately could not withstand the combined attack of the three ultimate beings.
Especially the Evil Emperor, whose abilities are too bizarre.
Although the Demon Emperor's spiritual power was formidable, it was absolutely no match for the Evil Emperor.
In terms of spiritual power, only the transformed Tianmeng can surpass the Evil Emperor on the entire Douluo Star.
The Demon Emperor's body appeared even more ferocious against the backdrop of his wounds.
She fought valiantly and lived up to her title, like a towering demon emperor.
"Give me the whale pearl!"
Eighty-one tentacles, along with the jet-black dragon claws and the bone dragon claws, launched a fierce attack on the Demon Emperor.
At this critical moment, a dragon roar far surpassing the roars of Long Xiaoyao and the Bone Dragon resounded throughout the heavens and earth!
The moment the dragon's roar rang out, the Evil Emperor, the Bone Dragon, and Long Xiaoyao all trembled violently!
This sudden, terrifying dragon's might instantly froze the entire raging battlefield!
In that moment of utter silence, the space above the Demon Emperor was as if it had been violently torn apart by an invisible giant hand!
A massive spatial rift stretching across the sky suddenly opened up!
At the edge of the crack, lightning, time, water, fire, light, life, devouring, and even wisps of spatial energy surged, like the nascent form of a small world!
This is precisely Huo Yuhao's communion with the Heavenly Heart!
Beneath the spatial rift torn open by Electrolux's arrival on the Dragon Continent, several figures exuding terrifying auras, like gods and demons traversing time and space, stepped out!
Suddenly, the Demon Emperor's enormous whale-like eyes erupted with the ecstatic joy of escaping a desperate situation and an even more fervent fighting spirit!
