"What's going on? The Holy Spirit Cult headquarters underground on the periphery of the Evil Demonic Forest—why is there not a single person here now?"
Wang Chen released his peak tangible and qualitative mental power, scanning the area, but surprisingly found no trace of the Holy Spirit Cult's evil soul masters, leaving him momentarily puzzled.
Wang Chen remembered clearly that in the original story, the Holy Spirit Cult's headquarters was located underground on the periphery of the Evil Demonic Forest.
His first goal in coming to the Evil Demonic Forest this time was to hunt the Evil Eyed Tyrant Ruler and break through to level 90. His second goal was to conveniently wipe out the Holy Spirit Cult.
¿Who would have thought he wouldn't find a single evil soul master, making it impossible to complete his second minor goal smoothly?
However, Wang Chen didn't particularly mind. He could investigate later, find where the Holy Spirit Cult's evil soul masters were, and kill them all.
Immediately after, Wang Chen's gaze turned toward the depths of the Evil Demonic Forest. He could clearly sense the presence of an extremely powerful entity there.
For something to be considered powerful by the current Wang Chen, it was undoubtedly the Evil Eyed Tyrant Ruler.
Wang Chen was quite familiar with the Evil Eyed Tyrant Ruler.
The Evil Eyed Tyrant Ruler ranked second on the ferocious beast list, its strength second only to Di Tian. A pure spiritual attribute soul beast, its mental power was just one step away from the divine level, and the Evil Eyed Tyrant Ruler was a genius.
It had a deep mastery of spatial power and had even touched the surface of temporal power.
Its signature move, Spacetime Light, was domineering to the extreme. If Di Tian hadn't relied on the Dragon God Claw bestowed by the Dragon God, he wouldn't have been able to withstand this Spacetime Light.
Moreover, the Evil Eyed Tyrant Ruler was not a lone entity but the patriarch of the Evil Eye clan, which had a large population.
Among them, there were several Evil Eyes with cultivation over 100,000 years, and nearly a hundred with cultivation over 10,000 years. As pure spiritual attribute soul beasts, the Evil Eye clan had a natural advantage, far surpassing others of the same level in mental power.
A 100,000-year cultivation of pure spiritual attribute, the Evil Eye could reach the tangible and qualitative realm in mental power, making it incredibly powerful and nearly unmatched at the same level.
Furthermore, the Evil Eyed Tyrant Ruler's soul origin was extremely powerful, allowing it to perform possession and survive with exceptional skill.
In the original story, if it hadn't coveted Huo Yuhao's body, it could have possessed a young Evil Eye from its clan and preserved its life.
Wang Chen was quite intrigued by the exceptionally gifted Evil Eye clan. Compared to other soul beast races, this clan was far more interesting.
Their high mental power and intelligence went without saying, but the most fascinating aspect was that, due to their unique physical structure, any soul bone dropped by the Evil Eye clan was guaranteed to be a rare head soul bone.
Moreover, it was the rarest type of head soul bone, a spiritual attribute head soul bone with a small chance of dropping a special external soul bone: the Evil Eye.
This temptation was simply overwhelming. Which soul master wouldn't crave a spiritual attribute head soul bone?
It was well known that for a soul master to advance to higher realms, mental power level was extremely important.
Obtaining a spiritual attribute head soul bone would undoubtedly be a massive boost to one's potential, making it much easier to condense a soul core.
If it weren't for the Evil Eye clan's immense strength, with the nearly 800,000-year-cultivation Evil Eyed Tyrant Ruler overseeing it, along with several Evil Eyes with over 100,000 years of cultivation, human soul masters would have long been unable to resist their greed and hunted the Evil Eye clan for head soul bones.
Additionally, the powerful Evil Eyes had soul connections with their offspring. If an offspring died, the soul connection would break, and the father's Evil Eye would come seeking revenge for its child.
This could eventually provoke the nearly 800,000-year-old Evil Eyed Tyrant Ruler.
On the continent, the strongest humans were merely Ultimate Douluo. How could they oppose the Evil Eyed Tyrant Ruler, who had condensed dual yin-yang complementary soul cores, had mental power nearing the divine level, and comprehended Spacetime Light?
If not for this, human soul masters would have long succumbed to their greed and hunted the Evil Eye clan for head soul bones.
But while no one dared to target the powerful Evil Eye clan before, now someone did.
Wang Chen stood on the periphery of the Evil Demonic Forest, his ice-blue soul tool armor gleaming coldly under the sunlight.
He gazed at the vast forest, his entire being seemingly merging with the surrounding space, harmonious and perfect.
The corners of Wang Chen's mouth curled slightly upward. The Evil Eyed Tyrant Ruler was indeed formidable, but unfortunately, he was even stronger now!
Without the diamond, how could he take on the porcelain job?
Wang Chen came to the Evil Demonic Forest to hunt the Evil Eyed Tyrant Ruler, naturally, with confidence in his abilities.
Before arriving at the Evil Demonic Forest, Wang Chen had undergone a comprehensive upgrade in the Mermaid Clan, not only in cultivation but also in soul tools.
The ice-blue armor on Wang Chen's body was a level 10 soul tool crafted from Extreme Ice Divine Crystal!
After condensing dual yin-yang complementary soul cores and reaching the peak of tangible and qualitative mental power, Wang Chen's proficiency in soul tools advanced by leaps and bounds.
Using the black book's ability to consume mental power to enhance comprehension, Wang Chen successfully created blueprints for a level 10 soul tool and then crafted a unique level 10 soul tool for himself according to the blueprints.
The level 10 soul tool armor on Wang Chen had simple yet powerful effects. Not only was its defense astonishing, but it also enhanced Wang Chen's ice attribute power and amplified his soul power.
Wearing this soul tool armor, Wang Chen's strength rose to another level.
In addition to this humanoid soul tool armor, Wang Chen fully upgraded the Divine Suppression Spear, greatly increasing its power and bringing it into the ranks of level 10 soul tools.
As for flight soul tools, Wang Chen did not craft any. After condensing dual yin-yang complementary soul cores, his mastery of spatial power had significantly improved.
If one soul core was a point in space, then two soul cores connected two points in space, forming a line of space, or rather, a simple spatial channel.
Using the characteristics of dual yin-yang complementary soul cores, Wang Chen could easily perform short-distance teleportation and long-distance spatial transmission.
This method was far faster than flight soul tools, so Wang Chen naturally saw no need to use flight soul tools anymore.
With the power of level 10 soul tools, combined with the powerful amplification of the Weapon Spirit martial soul on soul tools, Wang Chen truly couldn't imagine how he could lose.
His Weapon Spirit martial soul had seven red and one gold soul rings, eight in total, most of which were amplification-type soul skills.
Under the amplification of so many powerful soul skills, the power of a level 10 soul tool would undergo a qualitative change. Though not yet a divine artifact, it far surpassed the Ultimate Douluo level, and calling it a semi-divine artifact wouldn't be an exaggeration.
With powerful soul tools and Wang Chen's strong foundational strength, he was fully capable of crushing the Evil Eyed Tyrant Ruler at the same level.
In a confrontation, Wang Chen was confident he could slay the Evil Eyed Tyrant Ruler within ten moves.
The only thing Wang Chen needed to worry about was the Evil Eyed Tyrant Ruler's Spacetime Light.
The terror of temporal power needed no explanation. Even if the Evil Eyed Tyrant Ruler only understood the basics of temporal power, it was still worth taking seriously.
As for the powerful Spacetime Light skill, Wang Chen had some confidence in countering it.
The method to counter it lay in the 600,000-year-old soul bone from Princess Mermaid.
Princess Mermaid's head soul bone provided Wang Chen with two soul skills. The first was Ocean Heart, and the second was Mermaid's Soul Suppression Song.
Mermaid's Soul Suppression Song was a group mental attack soul skill. With Wang Chen's peak tangible and qualitative mental power, the skill's range covered up to 100 kilometers.
Within a 100-kilometer radius, any being with mental power below Title Douluo would have their spirit shattered, turning into a vegetable, while even Title Douluo would suffer mental damage.
This skill was excellent for dominating weaker opponents but useless against powerhouses of the same level.
The key was Ocean Heart. Ocean Heart was Princess Mermaid's strongest skill, with two effects. First, immunity! It could nullify one energy-based attack. Then, amplification, feeding the energy contained in the nullified attack back to the user of Ocean Heart, sharply increases their power, which would then be combined with their own power in the next strike.
Wang Chen had asked Princess Mermaid, who confirmed that with Wang Chen's dual yin-yang complementary soul cores and peak tangible and qualitative mental power driving Ocean Heart, even if he couldn't fully nullify the Evil Eyed Tyrant Ruler's Spacetime Light, he could significantly weaken its power.
It was precisely because of this that Wang Chen was confident he could slay the Evil Eyed Tyrant Ruler, rather than merely defeating it and allowing it to escape, as Di Tian had done.
Fully prepared, Wang Chen stood in midair, using his dual yin-yang complementary soul cores' mastery of space, along with his powerful mental and soul power, to connect to a spatial node several hundred kilometers away.
As the spatial node connected, a silver-white spatial vortex emerged.
Wang Chen stepped forward, entered the spatial vortex, and vanished from the spot.
...
In the core region of the Evil Demonic Forest, at the center of a massive blood-colored lake, a gigantic eyeball over 300 meters in diameter floated.
Eighty-one tentacles writhed slowly on the eyeball, each emitting heart-palpitating mental fluctuations, appearing extremely sinister. It was none other than the Evil Eyed Tyrant Ruler.
At this moment, the Evil Eyed Tyrant Ruler was in deep slumber. It was very close to its 800,000-year tribulation, and in recent years, it had rarely moved, conserving its strength.
Surrounding the Evil Eyed Tyrant Ruler were numerous smaller Evil Eyes. The closer an Evil Eye was to the Evil Eyed Tyrant Ruler, the stronger its cultivation.
Large and small Evil Eyes were arranged in a pyramid-like hierarchy, distinctly stratified, guarding their emperor.
Suddenly, the Evil Eyed Tyrant Ruler's sinister, massive pupil snapped open.
A bizarre black sun and silver moon appeared behind it. Vast and terrifying mental power, like an ocean, spread out, instantly darkening the heavens and earth, freezing space.
"Who dares trespass into this emperor's domain?!"
The Evil Eyed Tyrant Ruler's low voice echoed through the heavens and earth, causing the entire Evil Demonic Forest to tremble.
"As expected of the Evil Eyed Tyrant Ruler, such profound mastery of space."
A spatial vortex suddenly appeared, and Wang Chen walked out of it, laughing heartily.
As soon as Wang Chen's words fell, he was greeted by a terrifying silver beam of light, 100 meters in diameter...
