Evil Monarch: The Holy Spirit Cult Really Deserves to Die
The moment Ye Xishui finished speaking, the purplish-black Destruction Thunder that was constantly approaching her suddenly stopped.
The leaping, lifelike Power of Destruction lingered in mid-air for a moment, then receded slightly like a tide, giving Ye Xishui a brief respite.
Ye Xishui relaxed, her chest heaving violently. A fleeting illusion of relief crossed her eyes, which quickly turned into deep vigilance.
Huo Yuhao suddenly stopped at this moment not because he was afraid of Ye Xishui, nor because he was soft-hearted.
With his current strength, Ye Xishui is not much different from the Evil Monarch in his eyes.
On the Douluo Continent, where no other successors of the God exist, he is practically invincible at this moment.
Of course, this only applies to humans.
The Silver Dragon King in the Core Circle of Star Dou Great Forest is far from being his match with his current strength.
The reason he suddenly stopped was because the voice of the God of Destruction rang in his mind again without warning. "Nine Trials of Destruction, Eighth Trial: Slay the Evil Monarch."
Huo Yuhao was slightly taken aback. He hadn't even completed his Seventh Trial, "Destroy the Holy Spirit Cult," so why was this Eighth Trial suddenly coming?
Moreover, the content of this Eighth Trial seems to be even simpler than that of the Seventh Trial.
He couldn't help but think to himself, "The God of Destruction's Divine Examination is really arbitrary. It's obvious that he issued an order on the spot after noticing the situation in the lower realm."
However, for him, this is actually a good thing.
He let out a soft sigh, his gaze fixed on the distance, and murmured calmly, "You're out of luck!"
The instant Huo Yuhao finished speaking, an immense Divine Power surged forth from the depths of the Evil Demon Forest, instantly engulfing the entire sky like a tidal wave.
Immediately afterwards, a deep and chilling voice echoed through the sky, "Who dares to disturb my slumber?!"
As soon as the sound appeared, the entire sky darkened instantly.
The once clear sky above the Evil Demon Forest was completely obscured by a layer of pitch-black Wu Yun, the sunlight was swallowed up, and the world was plunged into a gloomy and oppressive atmosphere.
Then, as if torn apart from within by some force, the thick layer of Wu Yun slowly split open to both sides. In the center of the crack, a huge eye slowly emerged, hovering between heaven and earth, like a fallen silver star.
That was none other than the Evil Monarch!
The Holy Spirit Cult established its headquarters in the Evil Demon Forest because it had reached some kind of secret cooperation with the Evil Monarch.
The Holy Spirit Cult has maintained this covenant through years of offerings. In exchange, the Evil Monarch is required to lend a helping hand when the Holy Spirit Cult faces genuine peril.
Compared to humans, many Soul Beast still adhere to the spirit of contracts.
At this moment, the Evil Monarch awoke from his slumber, and his gaze immediately fell upon Ye Xishui.
He still had some impression of this human, knowing that she was a Supreme Elder of the Holy Spirit Cult, but at this moment her situation seemed to be not very good, as she was firmly trapped by those purplish-black Destruction Thunder, unable to move forward or backward.
When the Evil Monarch sensed the intensity of those lightning bolts, he couldn't help but be startled for a moment. The powerful Power of Destruction made him feel a great threat, and he wondered to himself what kind of being this human had provoked.
However, in the next instant, a familiar aura that instinctively alerted him suddenly entered his senses.
His enormous eye, which was suspended in the sky, moved slightly, and finally his gaze fell on the man below who was looking up at him.
His pupils contracted sharply for a moment, filled with shock.
What's Di Tian doing here?!
After the Sun Moon Continent and the Douluo Continent collided and merged, the Evil Monarch learned that there was a Soul Beast in the Star Dou Great Forest that dared to call itself the "Beast God," and he felt a sense of resentment.
He had roamed the Sun Moon Continent for many years, always being the most powerful being, without any rivals, so naturally he could not tolerate any Soul Beast climbing over his head.
So he made a special trip to the Star Dou Great Forest, wanting to personally meet the so-called Beast God and, incidentally, seize that title.
The result is obvious: he is now ranked only second among the Ten Great Beast Kings.
Di Tian was simply too strong. That Dragon God Claw attack almost tore him apart back then, and the fear of being on the verge of death is still etched deep into his senses.
So when he saw Di Tian, he reacted almost instinctively.
All those so-called contractual spirits and cooperative alliances were thrown to the back of their minds in that instant.
The Holy Spirit Cult has provoked Di Tian, so it deserves to be destroyed.
The fierce aura in the Evil Monarch's eyes subsided considerably the moment he saw Di Tian. Then, the enormous eye in the sky slowly retreated, preparing to withdraw.
However, how could Huo Yuhao possibly let it have its way?
The Eighth Trial of the Divine Examination has been issued; the Evil Monarch must remain today.
He unleashed his Soul Power, soaring into the sky like a streak of silver light, breaking through the dark Wu Yun that shrouded the sky, and catching up with the retreating Evil Monarch.
After passing through that thick layer of clouds, the Evil Monarch's true form was finally fully revealed to Huo Yuhao.
It was a gigantic Evil Eye with a diameter of about three hundred meters, its entire body gleaming with a silvery-white luster, and its surface shimmering with delicate light patterns, like an eyeball magnified countless times and floating in the sky.
Its pupils were deep red, like a pool of solidified blood, and eighty-one thick tentacles were attached to its back, slowly drifting.
With a deep, hoarse voice, Evil Eye Huo Yuhao who was chasing after him and said, "Human, retreat now, and I may spare your life."
Huo Yuhao laughed heartily upon hearing this, "Since we're already here, let's stay."
As soon as he finished speaking, he raised the Scepter of Destruction high in his hand, and the dark purple orb at the top of the scepter suddenly lit up.
A terrifying Power of Destruction rapidly condensed in mid-air, transforming into a massive, purplish-black sword hundreds of meters long. With an aura that seemed capable of cleaving the heavens and earth, it crashed down upon the Evil Monarch's true form.
Wherever the giant sword passed, the air emitted a sharp, mournful cry, and even space itself seemed to distort.
The Evil Monarch's pupils contracted sharply as a deadly threat, which he hadn't felt for many years, surged into his mind once again.
In that instant, the Evil Monarch realized that his judgment had been seriously flawed; the young human before him was far more powerful than he had anticipated.
He cursed the Holy Spirit Cult in his heart, wondering why he had to provoke such an entity.
However, since things have come to this point, no amount of regret can help; it can only resort to its most desperate measures to deal with this life-or-death situation.
The Evil Monarch's deep red pupils suddenly turned deep blue in the next instant, like a frozen deep sea.
Immediately afterwards, a deep blue beam of light, about ten feet in diameter, suddenly shot out from the center of the giant eyeball.
The moment that light appeared, everything around seemed to be paused.
The wind stopped, and even the finest dust particles in the air seemed to hang suspended in mid-air, as if time itself had lost its meaning.
This is the Evil Monarch's strongest attack, and also the ultimate profound technique he comprehended throughout his life— the Light of Space-Time.
Back then, it was precisely this attack that allowed him to escape from the Di Tian Dragon God Claw.
Through his dual understanding of spirit and space, he finally grasped the mysteries of time.
It must be said that he truly deserves to be called the strongest genius in the history of the Evil Eye Clan.
Seeing Huo Yuhao's body seemingly nailed to mid-air, and the sword of Destruction God that had terrified it also halting, the Evil Monarch finally breathed a sigh of relief.
If this Light of Space-Time hits, that human will have no chance of survival.
After all, even Di Tian himself needed over a thousand years to recover after suffering such a blow.
However, just as the deep blue light was about to touch Huo Yuhao, a vertical eye suddenly opened between Huo Yuhao's brows.
The eye was a clear, golden color, and then a soft, ancient-looking golden light shot out from the vertical eye, casually meeting the Evil Monarch's Light of Space-Time.
Then, to the utter horror of the Evil Monarch, that Light of Space-Time vanished silently, like a thin mist illuminated by sunlight, as if it had never existed.
Huo Yuhao secretly breathed a sigh of relief; he hadn't expected the Evil Monarch to have such a hidden trick up his sleeve.
His third eye was born after fusing with the Blade of Life, and the golden light shooting out from that eye came from the Kunlun Mirror, Super Divine Tool in his Spirit Sea.
In terms of control over the power of time, the Evil Monarch is still far inferior to the Kunlun Mirror.
His understanding of the laws of time was as superficial as a child's scribbles in the face of this Super Divine Tool, crumbling at the slightest touch.
