By now, how could it not understand?
This human, who had captured his beloved concubine but not killed her, must have done so to lure him over.
Then, this Hyper Douluo ambushed him from the sky. Their true target, it turned out, was himself.
Although the Evil Eye Tyrant was filled with rage at this moment, as a top-tier spirit-attribute soul beast, it could still think calmly in such a situation.
It knew that it, having just broken through to a hundred thousand years not long ago, could not defeat this Hyper Douluo human, no matter what.
So the only method was to call for help.
Its father, after all, was the Evil Emperor, a seven hundred ninety thousand-year fierce beast. His power was so strong that he was second only to Ditian on the entire continent. As long as its father arrived, what were two mere humans?
But Yuwen Tuo's next sentence immediately plunged it into despair.
"Elder, let's finish this quickly. This guy is the Evil Emperor's son; we can't give it a chance to contact the Evil Emperor."
"What?" Jin Peng was startled. "Ninth Soul Skill, Golden Light Dawn!"
Who hadn't heard of the Evil Emperor?
Ranked second among the Ten Great Fierce Beasts, the absolute ruler of this Demonic Forest. Not to mention himself, even if the Sect Master came, he might not be able to defeat it.
Therefore, Jin Peng dared not waste any time. He immediately unleashed his Ninth Soul Skill, a hundred-thousand-year soul ring ability.
A hundred-thousand-year soul ring typically had two abilities.
The Undying Golden Body displayed in the valley last time was a defensive skill. This time, Golden Light Dawn should be an offensive or control skill.
Golden light continuously condensed around Jin Peng's body, finally transforming into a golden laser that roared forth.
Its attack speed was incredibly fast, and its power was unmatched. Everything the golden light touched turned into metal.
It seemed this move was somewhat similar to Golden Road, and its attack pattern was also very similar.
"Damn human, my father won't let..." The Evil Eye Tyrant's words were cut short as it was completely swept by the golden light.
Its silvery-white body instantly turned golden, and Yuwen Tuo even felt that its spiritual fluctuations had vanished.
As expected of a hundred-thousand-year soul skill, this move could not only seal the physical body but also the ethereal spiritual power. This way, Yuwen Tuo temporarily didn't have to worry about it spreading its spiritual power to call its father for help.
"First Soul Skill, Sword Intent!"
Yuwen Tuo immediately rushed forward, performing the first two stances of the Xuanyuan Sword Technique: Sword Edge Burning the Plains and Horizontal Sword Crossing.
With Sword Edge Burning the Plains, the sword transformed into thousands of golden swords that pierced through, reducing the Evil Eye Tyrant's sixteen tentacles to shredded meat. Then, with Horizontal Sword Crossing, a single sword thrust hit the center of its pupil.
Jin Peng released its seal, and the Evil Eye Tyrant immediately let out a painful wail.
The spot Yuwen Tuo stabbed was its core spiritual origin. Being pierced there, its spiritual power sharply decreased by over eighty percent.
"Then, it's now. Assimilation Technique!"
Activating the cultivation method of the Assimilation Technique, Yuwen Tuo gradually transformed the Evil Eye Tyrant's physical body into powder, which then flew towards him.
Due to the semi-assimilation, the Evil Eye Tyrant's soul violently resisted. Fortunately, Yuwen Tuo's spiritual sea was as stable as a rock and protected by the Gold of Life. For an ordinary person, they would probably have been exploded by its powerful soul force.
In fact, Yuwen Tuo could try to erase the Evil Eye Tyrant's consciousness now, but if he did, its soul origin would essentially be gone, which would definitely alert the Evil Emperor immediately.
In the original work, Huo Yuhao made this mistake. If he hadn't had the soul skill that granted immunity to spiritual attacks from the Eye of Destiny, he would probably have died under the Evil Emperor's intense spiritual attack.
"Hateful human, you actually dare to absorb me? Are you trying to enslave my soul? No, I don't want to be enslaved! Please, release me! No!"
For a spirit-attribute soul beast like it, having its spirit enslaved by humans was more terrifying than death. This was also why evil soul masters who enslaved a large number of soul beast spirits were so hated by both humans and soul beasts.
Electrolux's Soul Spirit method allowed soul beasts to at least retain their own will, whereas enslavement meant completely losing their freedom.
In fact, Yuwen Tuo could do it now, but he didn't need such a rebellious soul. He might as well just hunt the Evil Eye Tyrant and give it a quick death. After all, his goal was only its soul ring and physical cultivation.
"Don't worry, I won't enslave your soul. You just go and reincarnate well," Yuwen Tuo said, gradually splitting the Evil Eye Tyrant's body completely. A red soul ring flew over and settled onto the fourth position of the Xuanyuan Sword.
Yuwen Tuo immediately sat cross-legged and began absorbing the soul ring. Since the Evil Eye Tyrant's soul was still present, this soul ring produced an extremely intense soul tremor.
"Hmph, a mere hundred-thousand-year soul beast, can it shake this Empress's skull bone and the Snow Empress's heart?" the Ice Empress said proudly.
Both her and the Snow Empress's soul bones had soul defense, and with the Gold of Life, Yuwen Tuo had two spiritual seas. The Evil Eye Tyrant's soul tremor, no matter how powerful, was useless.
After a long time, the Evil Eye Tyrant's remaining soul power was finally completely exhausted. Yuwen Tuo's spiritual sea remained incredibly stable, without the slightest flaw.
The soul ring absorption was completed in an hour, and he slowly ended his cultivation.
At this moment, in his hand, there was an eyeball-like object. This was the new body created when the Assimilation Technique assimilated the Evil Eye Tyrant, containing all of the Evil Eye Tyrant's cultivation from its lifetime.
However, because Yuwen Tuo's body did not contain the Evil Eye Tyrant's soul, this physical body could only be controlled by Yuwen Tuo's own spiritual power.
Yuwen Tuo's current spiritual power, even if it could contend with a Titled Douluo, was still weaker than that of the Evil Eye Tyrant, which was originally a top-tier spirit-attribute soul beast. And since the Evil Eye Tyrant's physical body was merely an eye, it couldn't perform any sword or saber techniques.
Therefore, even if Yuwen Tuo controlled this body now, the combat power unleashed would only be equivalent to an ordinary Titled Douluo, not reaching the Hyper Douluo realm.
The advantage was its stronger growth potential. Yuwen Tuo's spiritual power improvement speed was always faster than that of soul beasts. In the future, once his spiritual power surpassed the Evil Eye Tyrant's, the strength this physical body could unleash would exceed its peak period.
Another advantage was that since it had just broken through to a hundred thousand years not long ago, its soul power intensity was already similar to that of an initial-stage Titled Douluo.
Thus, controlling a body equivalent to an initial-stage Titled Douluo with Titled Douluo-level spiritual power, due to the similar levels, the burden on Yuwen Tuo would naturally not be too great.
After each summoning, it would basically take only one to two days to fully recover, unlike the Ice Empress and Snow Empress, who required several months or even a year of cooldown time.
This hundred-thousand-year soul ring also granted Yuwen Tuo two decent Fourth Soul Skills.
Soul Sacrifice: Sacrifice blood for soul, sacrifice soul for god. The spiritual fluctuations unleashed by the Xuanyuan Sword Soul Slash can annihilate all of the opponent's attacks.
Annihilation: After the soul skill is released, there is a brief period of stillness. Everything turns into void, and opponents within the skill's range are collectively weakened and unable to move.
Yuwen Tuo's second martial soul, although in the form of the Xuanyuan Sword, was ultimately a soul.
The birth of such spirit-type skills was completely within Yuwen Tuo's expectations.
"I've never seen anyone absorb a hundred-thousand-year soul beast's soul ring as easily as you do," Jin Peng walked over and said admiringly. "I truly want to know who your master is. To create such peerless divine power, even gods might not be able to do it."
"Grand Elder, if there's a chance, I'll definitely introduce you to my master," Yuwen Tuo said with a smile. He would let his master know that when he was suffering the most, these seniors saved him from dire straits.
