And at this moment...
Giant Hammer Douluo stared fixedly at the hunched figure ahead, the veins on the back of the hand gripping his heavy hammer bulging.
His originally mountain-steady aura wavered ever so slightly after he saw the other party's face clearly.
"Tree Infant Old Ghost? You're still alive?"
Giant Hammer Douluo's voice was terrifyingly low, every word seemingly forced through clenched teeth.
By then, Liu Yuan and Vina had already pushed open the carriage door.
Liu Yuan's Double Pupil flickered with a cold, eerie glow. He could clearly sense that the evil Soul Power emanating from the aged figure ahead was like a bottomless black swamp, thick and reeking of decay.
This was a story of revenge, and an even bloodier memory of the Heaven Dou Empire.
Giant Hammer Douluo and these two Evil Soul Masters could be considered mortal enemies.
More than thirty years ago, a notorious pair of Evil Soul Master spouses had appeared within the Heaven Dou Empire—Tree Infant Old Ghost and Ghost Soul Old Ghost.
Their deeds had been utterly inhuman, causing immense panic along the empire's borders at the time.
Tree Infant Old Ghost's Martial Soul was called the Infant-Devouring Mother Tree. In order to improve her Martial Soul's quality, she had frantically searched for newborn infants, burying those fresh little lives beneath tree roots as nourishment.
Her husband, Ghost Soul Old Ghost, possessed a cruel method for extracting living souls. He most enjoyed watching people struggle in despair, slowly torturing their souls after pulling them out, and using them as fuel to improve his cultivation.
Because the two of them used methods that were exceptionally sinister and bizarre, many Soul Masters who had tried to hunt them down had returned defeated.
In the end, the Heavenly Soul Emperor flew into a rage
