A raging hurricane of soul power swirled around Huo Yuhao, his figure shrouded in a layer of blood-red light.
Occasionally, like breathing, the red light would flicker.
Within his spacious and resilient meridians, silvery-white soul power surged like a mountain torrent. As a soul beast soul ring of the mental attribute, the increase in Huo Yuhao's soul power was secondary; the real and greatest boost was always to his mental strength.
Qian Duoduo's eyes twitched slightly as he looked to one side. Among the surrounding piles of rubble, countless stones were vaguely beginning to float.
In addition to the invisible pull on the surrounding objects, the air also contained an indescribable pressure, as if within the range of mental power coverage, anything hostile to Huo Yuhao would be suppressed as an enemy by the mental power.
Even with Qian Duoduo's mental strength, he felt a trace of pressure.
"This kid, when opportunity comes, there's no escaping it." Shaking his head with some emotion, Qian Duoduo smiled and shifted his gaze to the distance.
"Hmm?"
Suddenly, a deep purple aura appeared in the distant sky, flying towards him. This piqued Qian Duoduo's curiosity. He frowned, trying to see clearly, but due to the great distance, he couldn't make out what it was.
Unlike Xuan Zi, who was careless, Qian Duoduo was extremely cautious. With a thought, a deep black soul light emerged, accompanied by bursts of dragon roars, and a massive black dragon shield materialized.
The shield was square, its surface adorned with lifelike black dragon patterns, its eyes blood-red, like two inlaid rubies, exuding a majestic yet chilling aura.
Among defensive martial souls, the Black Dragon Shield was definitely among the top five.
A buzzing sound
filled the air as three spirit rings shone brightly in succession—one yellow, two purple. A black dragon roared atop the shield, and several black dragon shadows coalesced, hovering around Huo Yuhao. A strange fluctuation could be faintly seen as the black dragons moved, making the surrounding area as viscous as a swamp.
Simultaneously, a yellow light entered Qian Duoduo's body, causing his already tall and strong physique to swell even further, making him truly like a wall.
A faint purple light swept across the ground, as if an array had been added, instantly illuminating the area. Both Huo Yuhao and Qian Duoduo's defensive capabilities increased dramatically.
Not content with this, Qian Duoduo's last three spirit rings were poised to unleash their power, effectively protecting Huo Yuhao.
Huo Yuhao, absorbed in the process, naturally noticed the changes around him and realized something was amiss. He focused his energy and spirit, absorbing the spirit rings even more rapidly.
Logically, a 100,000-year soul ring should be difficult to absorb, but in reality, it was easier to absorb than the Time Deer soul ring. This was because the Evil Eye's soul had long been destroyed by the Heavenly Tribulation, leaving not even a trace. When this soul ring was absorbed, it would only passively release various negative emotions to attack Huo Yuhao.
If it were anyone else, they might be overwhelmed by the negative emotions and massive soul power, but Huo Yuhao's physical strength was something the testing teachers at the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy knew best, not to mention his terrifying mental strength.
As Huo Yuhao's soul power and mental strength steadily increased, and Qian Duoduo waited vigilantly, a purple aura suddenly swept in from the distance.
The sky, which should have been bright, became deep and dark under the influence of the purple light, like an ocean. A terrifying pressure descended upon the earth, and the strong winds that had been blowing in the forest were visibly dispersed. The air was filled with a murderous aura, and even Qian Duoduo, with his cultivation level, noticed something was wrong.
This unknown being was definitely no weaker than Elder Mu.
"It seems to be heading this way. Could it be the Evil Emperor?" Qian Duoduo's heart skipped a beat. If it were true, then it would be dangerous.
"What are you doing in my Demon Forest?"
Just as Qian Duoduo was alarmed, a cold voice rang out from the deepest part of the Demon Forest. The boundless spiritual power spread like a tide, and every creature could hear it clearly. Under that terrifying spiritual suppression, the soul beasts trembled and submitted.
This was the Evil Emperor... Qian Duoduo suddenly realized, who was that flying in from the sky?
As soon as Qian Duoduo looked up at the sky, her pupils contracted sharply. In the sky, within the clouds that seemed to have transformed into an ocean, an enormous whale swam, its form faintly visible. A deep female voice followed, seemingly responding to the Evil Emperor, "I'm here to rescue my daughter. You can rest assured."
Hearing this, the Evil Emperor, who was in seclusion in the valley, slightly moved his eyes, his tone softening. "Daughter? How could your daughter be in my Demon Forest?"
"She was abducted by humans and brought here. I need to find her. How about you do me a favor?" The voice continued to descend from the sky, clearly wary of the Evil Emperor's power, its tone sufficiently polite.
The Evil Emperor was silent for a few seconds, then coldly said, "Remember, after dealing with the humans who abducted your daughter, leave immediately."
"Of course. I have no interest in land or forests."
Within the swirling clouds, purple light flickered continuously. The Demon Emperor's gaze pierced the sky, fell upon the earth, and finally settled on a mountain peak.
His daughter's aura was there. These damned bastards.
A gaze belonging to a Limit Douluo level swept over, and on the mountain peak, Qian Duoduo felt a chill run down his spine, as if the flow of his soul power was about to be forcibly interrupted.
But the expected attack didn't materialize. Instead, layers of eerie light scattered towards a hundred meters above the mountain, eventually coalescing into a tall, cold-looking woman. She looked down at Qian Duoduo, her eyes quickly filled with doubt.
Because from her perspective, there were only two people. Why were there only two people from the Body Sect here?
Despite her doubts, the Demon Emperor's gaze immediately locked onto Huo Yuhao, who was sitting cross-legged. A terrifying killing intent erupted, and endless purple light seemed to fall from the sky, pressing straight down on the mountain peak.
"Damn it,"
Qian Duoduo cursed under his breath, his arm muscles bulging, his dark soul power unleashed at full force, and a huge black dragon-like figure appeared, roaring as it resisted all the killing intent.
Even so, the areas on the mountain peak that weren't protected were shattered, turning into dust.
"Humans, hand over my daughter, or I will grind you to dust!" A chilling voice boomed from the Demon Emperor's mouth, his face as cold as ice.
"Daughter?" Qian Duoduo was dumbfounded. Your daughter is gone, what does that have to do with us? He composed himself and said, "Senior, we have never seen your daughter before, are you mistaken?"
"Mistaken?" The Demon Emperor sneered, then slapped his palm against the mountain peak. Dense soul power gathered, transforming into a huge palm print of ghostly light. A suffocating pressure descended, and Qian Duoduo's legs trembled violently, almost causing him to kneel down. Veins bulged on his forehead. At this moment, Yu Hao was still absorbing soul rings, and no one could disturb him.
"Drink!" A deep, angry roar escaped his lips. Qian Duoduo gripped the Black Dragon Shield with his muscular arms and pushed forward. As his eighth spirit ring lit up, the surrounding light instantly stagnated, sinking into a prolonged, muddy state. The space seemed to collapse, becoming incredibly deep.
His eighth spirit skill, Black Dragon Abyss, was a continuous defensive skill capable of absorbing all types of attacks, but it would shatter once it reached its limit.
With a thunderous boom, the ghostly palm print slammed into the Black Dragon Abyss. The surging spirit power exploded, a deafening roar accompanied by a terrifying impact, causing the Black Dragon Abyss to tremble and show signs of shattering.
Qian Duoduo was startled. Although he knew that in front of a Limit Douluo, even a Super Douluo was nothing but a pushover, this woman's attack strength far exceeded his expectations. She might not even be using her full power.
"Yuhao, hold on tight!" Qian Duoduo's chest heaved as he continued to channel his spirit power into the Black Dragon Abyss.
Sitting cross-legged on the ground, Huo Yuhao was perfectly protected, without even a slight tremor. Hearing Qian Duoduo's instructions and the changes in the outside world, Huo Yuhao immediately made a decision.
Within his spiritual sea, an astonishingly powerful spiritual force poured out, and his eyes gained a dazzling silver-white light, while his skin gained a layer of silver-white luster. A strong spiritual fluctuation spread out, then visibly transformed into a huge silver-white eye, hovering behind him.
The pupil emitted a mesmerizing light, its depths seemingly containing countless stars, a beauty that was unforgettable.
"As expected, it's someone from the Body Sect." In the sky, the Demon Emperor's eyes narrowed slightly, and then his killing intent intensified.
"A Silver-level Body Martial Soul Awakening?" Qian Duoduo was astonished, clearly seeing Huo Yuhao unleash this move for the first time.
As the dazzling spiritual eye appeared, Huo Yuhao's aura actually subsided, and the crimson light flashing on his body was instantly suppressed and then rapidly absorbed.
In just a few seconds, Huo Yuhao's aura surged, and a blood-red soul ring was added to him.
He officially stepped into the Soul King realm, absorbing two soul rings in succession, and his soul power level leaped to level fifty-four.
A dense blood-red light reflected on his handsome face. He stood up and approached Qian Duoduo. Huo Yuhao faced the woman in mid-air, but upon seeing her, he was immediately stunned. He had seen this woman before when he was helping out at Mingde Hall, even if only briefly.
Connecting the words "daughter," her identity became clear:
the Demon Emperor, who truly appeared in the era of Dragon King Legend.
"Senior, I think there's some misunderstanding," Huo Yuhao said solemnly. The Demon Emperor was a madman in Douluo Continent III; it was unclear whether he was insane or sane during Douluo Continent II. Now, without a powerful figure of equal strength to protect him, the Demon Emperor was a ticking time bomb, extremely dangerous.
"Misunderstanding?" The Demon Emperor sneered. "My daughter has been imprisoned for so long, and I've searched for her in vain. Now I sense her presence on you. What else do you have to say? Hand her over, and I might spare your lives. If she dies, not only the two of you, but everyone in the Body Sect will be buried with her."
As he finished speaking, his agitated emotions intensified, the surrounding purple light deepened, and the oppressive pressure grew stronger, making it difficult to breathe.
In truth, if it weren't for concerns about his daughter's safety, the Demon Emperor would have already unleashed his full power. Even with Qian Duoduo's strong defense, he was ultimately no match for a Limit Douluo.
Qian Duoduo was unjustly blamed, and his expression was grim. But
right now, the priority was how to escape alive. Just then, a warm sensation came from his chest.
Qian Duoduo's expression changed slightly, the worry in his eyes instantly vanishing, replaced by utter calm.
Beside him, Huo Yuhao frowned. He sensed Lan Fuzi's aura on him?
Could it be that he had accidentally picked up Lan Fuzi's aura while suppressing her after releasing her that day?
He had been careless.
It seemed the plan needed to be changed ahead of schedule. Hopefully, it would be useful… Thinking this, Huo Yuhao cautiously prepared to speak. He could only release Lan Fuzi ahead of schedule, allowing her to meet the Demon Emperor. Of course, he wasn't without a backup plan. He could have his teacher leave a magical seal on Lan Fuzi at any time, holding her life in his hands. If the Demon Emperor dared to disregard his daughter's life and attack, he would take Qian Duoduo and hide in the undead demiplane.
"Senior, you are a woman..."
"Human, who gave you the audacity to hunt my descendants in my Demon Forest?"
Huo Yuhao said in a deep voice, but suddenly, a furious voice came from the depths of the Demon Forest, forcibly interrupting him. A terrifying mental pressure spread out, seemingly locking onto a precise location and attacking Huo Yuhao alone.
Even before the attack arrived, Huo Yuhao's breath caught in his throat. With his mental strength, he reacted, but he couldn't withstand it. What Soul King could withstand the attack of a Limit Douluo?
Soon, the world in Huo Yuhao's eyes seemed to turn into nothingness, filled with a hazy feeling, and his blood turned deathly cold.
Qian Duoduo's eyes were bloodshot. He raised the Black Dragon Shield to block Huo Yuhao, but mental attacks were his weakest point, and the one who attacked was the Evil Emperor, who was also a Limit Douluo.
The Demon Emperor turned his head and looked back, his brows furrowing slightly. The Evil Emperor had made his move.
"Hmph."
A cold snort sounded from beside Huo Yuhao. The faint gray light emanating from his body subtly faded, and endless cyan-gold light tore through space, spreading outwards. Accompanied by an astonishing dragon's roar, the mental shockwave aimed directly at Huo Yuhao was intercepted.
"Who?" The Evil Emperor's surprised voice suddenly rang out.
His breathing returned, the deathly silence dissipated, and Huo Yuhao gasped for breath, as if he had escaped death. But a mysterious figure had inexplicably appeared beside him.
He subconsciously turned his head and met the man's gaze.
This was a middle-aged man, his face not handsome but resolute, with long cyan hair cascading over his broad shoulders. His pupils were also cyan, and his seemingly simple eyes possessed an indescribable, unique quality.
"Are you alright, kid?" the middle-aged man asked cheerfully.
"Thank you for saving me, senior." Huo Yuhao clasped his hands in a salute. He was certain he had never seen this person before, but seeing the unique cyan hair and the dragon's roar, and the ability to withstand the Evil Emperor's attack, a figure inexplicably appeared in his mind.
Niu Tian.
Yes, besides Niu Tian, no one else in the Douluo Continent has such a distinctive appearance and soul power display.
"Luckily, you arrived in time, otherwise, if you died, that girl would be heartbroken." Niu Tian said with a smile, "I believe you can probably guess who I am, just call me Uncle Niu."
"Uncle Niu." Huo Yuhao immediately called out without the slightest hesitation.
Niu Tian nodded with a smile, but his smile quickly faded as he faced the Demon Emperor in the sky and the Evil Emperor hidden in the deepest part of the Demon Forest.
"Evil Emperor, this child is related to me, how about you let it go?" Niu Tian spoke calmly, but his voice resounded throughout the core of the Demon Forest.
"Killing my clan, how can I let it go so easily. As for you, since you chose to save this human, you are my enemy." The Evil Emperor's cold voice rang out, and suddenly, a fiery red pillar of light flew into the sky from the depths of the Demon Forest. The surrounding clouds were drawn by it and quickly gathered together, staining the clouds with blood. Gently peeled away, the next moment, a blood-red eye with a diameter of more than three hundred meters was revealed.
Even more terrifying was the presence of eighty-one tentacles, each over five hundred meters long, growing around its blood-red eyes.
These tentacles swayed in the air, radiating an indescribable sense of oppression.
This was the true form of the Evil Emperor, a terrifying being with a cultivation level approaching eight hundred thousand years. Qian Duoduo
stared in astonishment; it was the first time he had ever seen the Evil Emperor's true form. In terms of appearance, the Evil Emperor was even more ferocious than the Emperor Tian's true form.
"So, you intend to force your way in?" Niu Tian said calmly. "I remember you're about to go into seclusion to attempt
your eighth Heavenly Tribulation, right? If a battle breaks out here, you'll likely never succeed." Hearing this, the Evil Emperor in the sky fell silent. Indeed, if he were to fight a powerhouse of equal cultivation, his near-death breakthrough chance would be completely extinguished.
But for the Evil Emperor, death wasn't an absolute fear, because he possessed an ability called possession.
Why did he care so much for his clan? Because any member of his clan could perfectly become a target for possession, but the opportunity was only once. That's why he chose to cultivate more clans, selecting the most talented among them for future use.
A fierce glint appeared in his eyes, and the Evil Emperor coldly said to the Demon Emperor, "Demon Emperor, how about joining forces with me? Don't forget, they are our common enemy."
The Evil Emperor's invitation caused the Demon Emperor, who was suspended in mid-air, to change her expression. Her gaze locked onto Huo Yuhao, and she made a decision in her heart.
She was certain that if she joined forces with the Evil Emperor, no one could stand against her unless a god descended.
Seeing this, Niu Tian frowned slightly. This Evil Emperor was really reckless. As for that woman, she had a familiar aura. He had seen it on Tang San. He didn't expect that the Deep Sea Demon Whale Clan had a powerhouse second only to the Deep Sea Demon Whale King of that year.
"Hehe, when your own child causes trouble, as an elder, you naturally can't stand by and watch." Suddenly, a gentle voice broke the stalemate, which also attracted everyone's attention. In the distance, endless golden light flew in from the sky. It was actually a huge Holy Dragon of Light.
The world, which had been darkened by the soul power of the Evil Emperor and the Demon Emperor, seemed to have gained a ray of light.
"It's safe now." Qian Duoduo breathed a sigh of relief as the giant dragon flew towards them.
"Grandmaster?" Huo Yuhao was somewhat surprised.
After the Holy Light Dragon reached the mountain peak, it quickly transformed, its gentle light power dissipating and condensing into a figure. This old man, dressed in gray cloth and with a kind face, was none other than Mu En.
"Elder Mu."
"Grandmaster."
Qian Duoduo and Huo Yuhao hurriedly bowed.
Mu En waved his hand and smiled gently at Niu Tian, "Thank you for your help just now, Sect Master Niu Tian. Otherwise, Yuhao would have been in danger."
"There was no other way. This kid is the one Dong'er likes, so he's kind of like my son-in-law. I couldn't refuse to help." Niu Tian joked.
Upon hearing the word "son-in-law," Qian Duoduo and Mu En could
n't help but chuckle. This father-in-law was certainly clever. Huo Yuhao, however, awkwardly scratched his head, not daring to speak. If Niu Tian knew he had more than one woman, Dong'er, would he slap him to death?
"As for you, you look much better. Looks like you can live for many more years," Niu Tian said thoughtfully.
"That's all thanks to Yuhao." Smiling and shaking his head, Mu En's eyes, etched with the wisdom of years, met those of the Evil Emperor and the Demon Emperor. "A Limit Douluo against a Limit Douluo is fair. Would you two like to continue?"
In the sky, the Evil Emperor's blood-red eyes flashed with intense coldness, while the Demon Emperor's expression was even more solemn.
Her injuries weren't fully healed. She could participate in a two-on-one fight, but a two-on-two fight didn't offer much of a chance.
The four Limit Douluo-level powerhouses faced off, and the air fell into an eerie silence.
