The Evil Emperor's enormous body slowly began to move. Its three-hundred-meter-long form, no matter how slow its movement speed, still gave off an overwhelming sense of oppressive might that covered the sky and earth. Its ninety-one tentacles swayed slowly with the wind, as if they had lost their restraints and were now stretching and spreading freely.
In the distance, many Evil Eyes seemed to sense the anomaly and swarmed toward the area one after another. However, they stopped roughly a kilometer away from the group, then slowly bowed their bodies toward the Evil Emperor. Within their eyes, shrouded in darkness and evil, a trace of respect appeared.
More and more Evil Eyes gathered nearby. The group was somewhat surprised to discover that not only did the Evil Eye clan have a large population, but their powerful combat strength also far surpassed other soul beast races. In such a short time, among the Evil Eyes that had already gathered nearby, there were already three with cultivations exceeding one hundred thousand years. Through spiritual power perception, even more powerful Evil Eyes were rapidly flying over from afar. For a time, soul beasts of other races did not dare to act rashly, fearing they might lose their lives with one wrong move.
Shen Liuyu's body slowly rose into the air uncontrollably, then arrived in front of the Evil Emperor.
The Evil Emperor examined Shen Liuyu for a moment, then seemed to chuckle lightly. Its enormous body shifted slightly as well. Its massive pupils reflected Shen Liuyu's face, making her feel as if she were facing a bottomless abyss. If she dared to sink into it, she would surely never escape again...
"What profound foundations. In my nearly eight hundred thousand years living on the Sun Moon Continent, I have never seen geniuses like you. I sense a somewhat familiar aura on you all..."
"I encountered this aura once many years ago. If I am not mistaken, you are not from the Sun Moon Empire, but from another continent..."
Shen Liuyu raised her head to look up at the Evil Emperor, then gently nodded.
"Senior is correct. We are indeed from Douluo Continent..."
"Hahaha..."
The Evil Emperor's laughter carried a mechanical hoarseness that made people instinctively cover their ears. Those with weaker spiritual power even felt headaches.
"Is that black dragon doing well? After being hit by this king's Light of Time and Space, even he must have suffered greatly..."
Shen Liuyu was slightly stunned, then quickly realized who the black dragon the Evil Emperor mentioned was, and said:
"Senior Di Tian's injuries have already healed completely, but he is still guarding the Star Dou Great Forest and has no opportunity to come out for now..."
The Evil Emperor snorted coldly and said:
"I originally agreed with him to fight again in a thousand years, but now it seems there will be no such opportunity..."
Shen Liuyu did not know what to say and simply remained silent.
The Evil Emperor did not say anything more upon seeing this, only stating at the end:
"The energy I possess is extremely vast. Without your appearance, in another few thousand years I could have advanced to eight hundred thousand years. I can say without modesty that the energy and even the spiritual power I possess are enough to overwhelm a spiritual-attribute Title Douluo to death. Little girl, afterward I will seal roughly fifty percent of my spiritual origin within your spiritual sea. The rest will be absorbed by you during the process of absorbing the soul ring. Additionally, I will bestow upon you a heaven-defying opportunity. The price you must pay is that after you become a god, you must find the most suitable divine position for me..."
A trace of hesitation clearly appeared on Shen Liuyu's face, but immediately afterward, Shen Hanyu's voice suddenly sounded in her ear, and her expression became resolute.
"Rest assured, Senior. This is not difficult. In the future, I will definitely find a divine position suitable for you..."
The Evil Emperor let out a strange series of laughs, then its body slowly floated into the high sky. Strange fluctuations spread outward in all directions. The surrounding Evil Eyes seemed to sense something; the already lowered heads bowed even lower, and strange sounds came from their mouths.
Everyone clearly felt the violent fluctuations of energy in the surrounding space. With the Evil Emperor's body as the center, purple-red flames began to burn slowly, then gradually spread across its body. Eventually, the Evil Emperor's entire form was enveloped in purple-red flames. Wave after wave of terrifying fluctuations swept out, causing grass and trees to fly in all directions, while trees and boulders shook violently. It was as if the entire world had begun to change dramatically at this moment.
"What rich heavenly energy..."
You Mengchu sighed, then seemed to remember something. Her expression changed slightly, and she turned her head slightly to speak to Shen Hanyu beside her:
"The energy in the surrounding heaven and earth seems to have been drawn here entirely. I plan to take this opportunity to seek a breakthrough. After my state of mind broke through some time ago, I have already sensed the threshold of rank 98. I'll leave the rest to you..."
Shen Hanyu nodded slightly and said:
"Go ahead without worry. The heavenly energy drawn by the Evil Emperor is too vast. You can absorb it freely without worrying about affecting Ah Yu's soul ring absorption. If there is any problem, you can send a voice transmission to me at any time, and I will come to help you immediately..."
"Thank you..."
You Mengchu said softly, then with a few flashes, she flew toward a nearby mountain peak. She sat cross-legged on a smooth stone surface and began to frantically absorb the energy from the surrounding heaven and earth.
Shen Hanyu withdrew his gaze. In the next moment, an even more terrifying energy fluctuation erupted from the Evil Emperor's body. The Evil Eyes coiled around the area slowly rose into the air one after another. From their bodies, strands of gold and silver dual-colored light began to appear and drift toward Shen Liuyu. This power was unlike the cold and evil nature of the Evil Emperor's power; instead, it was filled with a bright and gentle feeling.
A purple-red pillar of light shot into the sky. For a time, the nearby clouds were dyed with an extra touch of divinity. With the Evil Emperor at the center, all the soul beasts of the entire Evil Demon Great Forest seemed to have received a summons. Regardless of their strength, they all lowered their heads toward the depths of the forest. Dots of starlight drifted down from the sky above. Gu Yuena's expression stirred slightly, and she said softly:
"It has conquered the entire Evil Demon Forest and forcibly made the soul beasts here offer their power of faith. Although it is not pure, it is already extremely rare..."
Shen Liuyu felt waves of warm energy pouring into her body. A comfortable sensation instantly spread throughout her, making her want to obtain more and more. Under the nourishment of this warm energy, she clearly sensed that something seemed to have been added to her own origin. The roars of ten thousand beasts echoed in her ears, but at this moment they did not seem ferocious or terrifying. Instead, they gave her a sense of familiarity.
Gu Yuena quietly watched the scene before her, feeling a slight stir in her heart.
In the Star Dou Great Forest, although she held an incomparably lofty status, she had not enjoyed many benefits brought by faith.
There was only one reason: although she was the current co-ruler of the soul beast clan, she had only lived within ancient memories. She had not sheltered the survival of the soul beast clan. In the Star Dou Great Forest, the current faith of the soul beast clan was almost entirely gathered on Di Tian, the Beast God. Di Tian had once tried to become a god through faith, but unfortunately failed in the end. Gu Yuena had always known about this but had never pointed it out. The things involved were very deep, and Di Tian was absolutely one of her own people, so Gu Yuena had slowly let the matter fade.
For her, obtaining the faith of the soul beast clan was a very simple matter, but she had no such intention for the time being. She was accustomed to hiding herself and did not want to be exposed to the eyes of the world in the short term.
Just as Gu Yuena was momentarily lost in thought, the previously silent Demon Empress behind the group suddenly stepped forward a few paces and gently grasped Shui Bing'er's shoulder.
"Let's go. Perhaps my path has also reached its end. Whether I can be reborn depends on all of you. Our entire family's hopes are placed in your hands..."
The Demon Empress's voice was faint but extremely gentle. Toward Shui Bing'er and the other girls, her attitude had always been very good. She truly treated everyone as companions. Her friendship was pure and friendly, this was something everyone could confirm.
Lan Fuzi's expression did not change much. A sweet smile still hung on her lips. It was impossible for her not to worry, but she trusted everyone even more.
After spending so many years together, the bond between them was incredibly deep. They could entrust their own juniors to each other without reservation. She had a premonition that their family's rebirth was not far away...
Shui Bing'er was visibly moved and said:
"Aunt Mo, actually..."
The Demon Empress placed a finger against Shui Bing'er's lips, then revealed a smile.
"No need to say such useless things. Don't say sentimental words either. We are all companions. I am really looking forward to the new life you will bring me after becoming a god. Just don't disappoint me..."
With that, the Demon Empress smiled at Shen Hanyu, then took Shui Bing'er to the side.
The Demon Empress lay back and looked up at the cliff. Behind her suddenly came the sound of waves crashing against the shore. Countless seawaters surged out, turning the surroundings into a vast ocean in no time. A giant whale leaped out from the waves. Amidst the stormy seas, dark clouds rapidly gathered in the sky above, thunder boomed, and a long whale cry echoed between heaven and earth, seeming to carry the feeling of endless years.
At the same time, the sleeping soul of the Deep Sea Demon Whale King within Shen Hanyu's body also stirred slightly, as if responding to the Demon Empress.
After receiving the desired response, the Demon Empress no longer lingered. She charged straight toward the countless bolts of thunder into the high sky. Countless blue-red flames also rose on the sea surface. Shui Bing'er stood on a reef protruding from the sea, her expression calm, but her heart filled with complex emotions.
The flames on the Evil Emperor's body continued to burn. It clearly noticed the Demon Empress and You Mengchu's presence but did not pay much attention. Looking at Shen Liuyu below, the Evil Emperor finally said:
"I once fantasized about countless futures, but I never imagined such a possibility would appear. Perhaps this is fate, ever-changing and mysterious, always giving hope when people are in despair, yet remaining elusive and unfathomable..."
"All things in the world are like this. This time, I will no longer defy the heavens but will follow the will of heaven. The result remains unknown. Little girl, do not disappoint me..."
As it spoke, the Evil Emperor's body slowly dissipated, replaced by an extremely eerie blood-red soul ring.
This soul ring slowly drifted down from the sky and landed on Shen Liuyu's missing ninth soul ring. Endless power surged into Shen Liuyu's body. The intense pain it brought made Shen Liuyu involuntarily groan. Only at this moment did she truly understand how terrifying the Evil Emperor's nearly eight-hundred-thousand-year foundation was. It could not be compared to all the previous soul rings she had absorbed; they were all suppressed by this ninth soul ring.
Her meridians began to expand violently, clearly reaching their limit. Countless spiritual forces poured into her spiritual sea, allowing Shen Liuyu to barely maintain consciousness. The spiritual power entering her spiritual sea had already begun to automatically expand it for her. The Evil Emperor's spiritual power was incredibly pure and was a rare treasure for spiritual-attribute soul masters. For Shen Liuyu now, such a treasure was practically inexhaustible.
In the pain that felt like enduring hell every second, Shen Liuyu's soul power began to climb slowly.
Rank 90 peak...
In the next moment, it directly stepped into rank 91!
In the continuous energy absorption, before long, accompanied by a crisp sound, Shen Liuyu's soul power had reached rank 92.
But even at this stage, the absorption of this soul ring had still not reached its end. The energy scattered around was all drawn back, helping Shen Liuyu break through the next threshold. Afterward, her soul power directly reached rank 93...
Only after traveling more than halfway through rank 93 did the speed of soul power slow down. At the same time, a strange soul bone wrapped in dark purple light slowly descended and directly entered Shen Liuyu's brain.
Gentle soul power wrapped around her as she slowly descended to the ground. She then fell directly into a deep sleep. Shen Hanyu stepped forward to catch her, gently sighed, brushed aside the stray hair on the girl's forehead, informed the Ice Empress and the others in the spiritual world to prepare the bed, and sent Shen Liuyu inside so she could slowly digest her consumption in a safe environment...
You Mengchu's state was completely stable. Shen Hanyu could sense her current state of unity between heaven and man, which was a good sign. But You Mengchu needed time now. He left a soul power barrier around her to isolate all external sounds and used his soul bone skill to create an absorption vortex that could convert heavenly energy, continuously providing her with the purest energy.
Just as the commotion on this side had barely settled, the vast sea thunder coming from behind signaled the arrival of another storm. A giant whale appeared in mid-air, its body covered in terrifying wounds. The thunder still flickered but no longer harmed the giant whale in the slightest.
Shui Bing'er looked up at all this and could not help but clench her fists.
After the Demon Empress had absorbed enough heavenly energy, she let out another whale cry. Her enormous body slowly descended. When it touched the sea surface she had created, everything around seemed to enter a state of stillness. The expected huge waves did not appear. Instead, that space seemed to be divided into two worlds in an instant. Shui Bing'er stood blankly on the front side, while on the back side was the Demon Empress's figure.
The crystal luster seemed never to have been extinguished. The blue-red flames burned even more fiercely. Within these flames, the Demon Empress's figure slowly dissipated, replaced by an incomparably brilliant red light. The light erupted from the back of the space, causing the entire world to seem to lose its luster for a moment and sink into eternal silence...
