Evil Emperor

The Wordless Heavenly Book sat within the sea of consciousness of Xue Yuheng, yet even the Eye of Destiny of the Three-Eyed Golden Lion had failed to peer into the memories of his past life hidden deep within.

Could this gray-robed youth before him actually see through his thoughts directly?

It is...

Xue Yuheng's heart hammered against his ribs, and a name surfaced in his mind, uncontrollable.

Ranked second on the Douluo Continent Beast Rankings, possessing 790,000 years of cultivation: the Evil Eye Tyrant Ruler.

The Evil Emperor!

Why would it appear here?

"It is a novel, written by an existence I revere. It roughly outlines the story of a child of destiny who endures countless hardships and eventually becomes a god." Xue Yuheng suppressed the raging waves in his heart, keeping his tone as calm as possible.

The gray-robed youth tilted his head, those emotionless black eyes staring straight at him: "Are you the protagonist?"

"I am not the protagonist."

Xue Yuheng shook his head.

The true protagonist should be suffering at the White Tiger Duke Mansion at this very moment.

The Evil Emperor did not press for more details about the novel; his gaze fell upon the center of Xue Yuheng's brow, where a power that felt peculiar to him resided:

"Do you possess a God-Level Martial Soul?"

A God-Level Martial Soul?

Xue Yuheng's heart tightened.

Did it come for the Wordless Heavenly Book?

He had always deliberately hidden his strength and had never set foot in the territory of the Sun Moon Empire, precisely to avoid drawing the attention of the Holy Spirit Cult and the Sun Moon imperial family.

He never expected that despite all his precautions, he would end up attracting this very existence.

"I believe so," Xue Yuheng nodded slowly.

"Then I haven't found the wrong person." The Evil Emperor's face remained devoid of expression, "Let's go. I am taking you to the Evil Demon Forest."

Xue Yuheng opened his mouth, but the words "Can I refuse?" never made it out.

He had no right to refuse.

Because the moment the Evil Emperor stepped into this black-and-white world, he clearly felt that he had completely lost contact with the Moon Shadow Squad hidden within his shadow.

That cold and powerful mental energy, like an invisible net, shrouded the entire rooftop, forcibly suppressing the seven women of the Moon Shadow Squad within the shadow space.

Without this greatest trump card, he was no different from an unarmed commoner in front of the Evil Emperor.

Despite all his calculations, something had gone wrong.

Xue Yuheng's brain raced at high speed.

Xiao Xiao, Xue Qingwu, Nan Qiuqiu, Wu Ming, Xu Jinrou, Yu Wanwan, Yu Mengdi, Tang Ya...

Where exactly had he left a flaw?

Before he could figure it out, the Evil Emperor had already reached out his hand.

Black and white light instantly enveloped Xue Yuheng.

The next second, their figures vanished from the rooftop.

The Evil Emperor's speed was beyond imagination.

The black-and-white domain around him expanded continuously, and wherever they passed, all things in heaven and earth lost their color, turning into a monotonous black and white. They swept over mountains and rivers, speeding all the way toward the Sun Moon Empire.

Along the way, Xue Yuheng saw over a dozen figures hidden in the shadows.

Some were lurking deep in dense forests, some were perched on mountain peaks, and some were even mingling in human towns.

Every figure exuded the thick aura of the Evil Eye clan, with even the weakest possessing over ten thousand years of cultivation.

These were the "eyes" the Evil Emperor had scattered across the Douluo Continent.

Xue Yuheng's heart sank to the bottom.

Looking at it this way, the Evil Emperor hadn't encountered him by chance; he had been searching for him with premeditation.

A God-Level Martial Soul... does it want to possess me?

As soon as this thought emerged, a chill ran down Xue Yuheng's spine.

He did not know how much time had passed before the black-and-white domain finally dissipated.

The moment Xue Yuheng landed, what met his eyes was a black forest that blotted out the sky; the branches of the trees were twisted and hideous, like the claws and fangs of evil ghosts.

The sky was forever gray, not even a sliver of sunlight able to penetrate it.

This was one of the most famous forbidden zones of life on the Douluo Continent: the Evil Demon Forest.

The Evil Emperor did not speak, leading him straight toward the deepest part of the forest.

Passing through layers upon layers of black trees, a massive underground cavern appeared before them.

The entrance to the cave was carved with countless eerie eye patterns, each one appearing as if it had come to life, staring fixedly at the intruder.

Walking into the cave, the interior opened up into a vast expanse.

An incredibly massive temple stood in the center of the cavern.

The temple was constructed entirely of black crystal, with faint purple soul fire flowing along its walls.

Countless transparent souls circled above the temple, emitting soft, fragmented whispers.

The air was permeated with a heavy and sacred soul aura, so oppressive that it made it difficult to breathe.

This place did not resemble the lair of a soul beast at all; instead, it felt like the dwelling of an ancient deity.

Evil Emperor walked to the black altar in the center of the temple and knelt on one knee. His originally indifferent expression became incredibly respectful, even tinged with a hint of piety:

"My Lord, I have brought the vessel you requested."

As his voice fell.

The entire temple suddenly began to tremble violently.

The purple soul fire on the walls danced frantically, and the souls circling above let out sharp, piercing shrieks.

An incredibly ancient and vast aura slowly awakened from the depths of the altar.

It was a soul pressure that transcended everything; even Evil Emperor, a 790,000-year-old fierce beast, appeared incredibly insignificant before this aura.

An ethereal and gentle female voice echoed throughout the entire temple.

"You have captured the wrong person."

Evil Emperor jerked his head up, a look of astonishment appearing on his face for the first time: "?"

Xue Yuheng stood to the side, also looking completely bewildered: "?"

Meanwhile, at Tianzheng Academy.

A full day had passed since Xue Yuheng went missing.

Xiao Xiao, Xue Qingwu, and Yu Mengdi had turned the entire academy upside down, searching every corner even of the male dormitory, yet they could not find a single trace of Xue Yuheng.

It was as if he had vanished into thin air.

In a hidden hotel room in Tianxing City.

The lighting was dim.

The captain of the Moon Shadow Squad, Yue Xiaoyu, knelt on one knee on the floor, her head bowed low, her voice filled with guilt:

"This subordinate deserves death. At that moment, an extremely powerful mental force appeared. The seven of us were suppressed in the shadow space simultaneously and were completely unable to move.

By the time we broke free, His Highness was already gone."

Behind her, the other six women of the Moon Shadow Squad also knelt on one knee in unison, their faces filled with self-reproach.

They were Xue Yuheng's most loyal guards, yet they had failed to even protect His Highness's safety.

The atmosphere in the room was suffocating.

Xiao Xiao sat on the sofa, her face pale. From beginning to end, she did not cry, nor did she cast blame; she simply watched the night sky outside the window in silence.

Xue Qingwu stood by the window, her ice-blue eyes filled with coldness.

Yu Mengdi sat to the side, not knowing what to say.

Suddenly, Xiao Xiao snapped her head up.

"Senior Yu, bring me a complete map of the continent."

Yu Mengdi was stunned for a moment, then quickly retrieved a detailed map of the continent from her storage ring and spread it out on the table.

Xiao Xiao walked to the map and slowly traced her finger across it.

A mental force capable of suppressing a Limit Douluo in an instant...

Across the entire Douluo Continent, there was perhaps only one powerhouse capable of such a feat.

Her finger finally stopped at the southwestern region of the Sun Moon Empire, on the area marked in black.

Evil Demon Forest.

"Why would that existence want to capture His Highness?" Yue Xiaoyu asked, looking up with a face full of confusion.

Xiao Xiao did not speak.

The difference between Xiao Xue and ordinary soul masters was that he possessed a

God-Level Martial Soul...

Xiao Xiao seemed to have grasped a key clue, yet it remained blurry and indistinct.

Xue Qingwu walked to her side, looking at the Evil Demon Forest on the map, her brows furrowed tightly: "If it really is Evil Emperor... then this will be difficult to handle."

The top combat powers of the Far North, the Two Emperors of Ice and Snow, had both disappeared.

On the current Douluo Continent, there was not much power left that could confront Evil Emperor head-on.

Xiao Xiao took a deep breath, raised her head, and her gaze became incredibly firm.

"No matter who he is, and no matter where he has taken Xiao Xue."

"I will definitely bring Xiao Xue back."

"We depart for the Evil Demon Forest!"
