The Struggle for the Heir Apparent, As It Has Always Been

"Good, very good!"

"That's the feeling!"

At this moment, Dai Huabin was happier and more excited than ever before.

He could clearly feel his own power rapidly increasing, and his Martial Soul undergoing transformation and evolution.

"Huabin, why...?"

"Why..."

She felt her strength rapidly dwindling, and her life was drawing to a close.

Zhu Lu's eyes were filled with resentment and fear.

Why did it turn out like this?

How did Huabin end up like this?

Given his love for me, even if he had fallen into darkness and become Evil Soul Master, he shouldn't have harmed me.

You must understand, without her, Huabin wouldn't have his current cultivation level and everything else.

In order to help Huabin improve his strength, over the years she not only had to endure Dai Yueheng's bullying, but also had to constantly try to find cultivation resources for him through various means.

The geographical locations of various ordinary civilians, and various Soul Master slaves.

She used every means to help Huabin collect the materials and assist him in improving his cultivation.

She never imagined that Huabin would now even try to take her life.

Was I really wrong?

It wasn't until this moment that Zhu Lu realized that she might have also made mistakes in this process.

Evil Soul Master is just Evil Soul Master.

From the moment he fell into depravity, he was no longer the Huabin he deeply loved.

And he himself, as an accomplice, pushed himself step by step into an endless abyss.

Why is this happening?

"Why?"

Zhu Lu didn't understand.

They started out with everything wonderful and happy, so how did it suddenly turn out like this?

"Dai Yueheng, Huo Yuhao, Wang Dong, Ning Tian... Clear Sky Sect, Nine Treasures Glazed Sect, White Tiger Duke Mansion..."

"It's all your fault! You ruined everything for me, you ruined my life and Huabin's life..."

Unbeknownst to her, Zhu Lu also fell into depravity. Driven by hatred and pain, she too descended into extreme madness.

"Huabin, with my power, avenge us!"

"Destroy everyone!"

Let them suffer endless pain!

Even if she realized her mistake, even if for a moment Zhu Lu knew she was wrong.

But things have already come to this point, and there's no going back.

Driven by love, Zhu Lu ultimately chose to support her lover.

Willing to give everything to the other party in order to enhance their strength.

In this situation, she still has a chance to escape if she wants to.

In the past, Dai Yueheng gave her a very precious Soul Tool in order to pursue her.

Once activated, it would be enough to allow me to escape from here.

However, Zhu Lu ultimately did not use it.

With Zhu Lu's full cooperation, Dai Huabin's strength improved rapidly, and he easily broke through the bottleneck from level 79 to level 80.

But his advancement was far from over.

The transformation of his own Martial Soul is still progressing.

According to Dai Huabin's initial understanding, after absorbing Zhu Lu's Martial Soul, his own Martial Soul would be able to evolve into the Dark Tiger King.

Even he himself did not expect that Zhu Lu, that foolish woman, would not only give him her Martial Soul in the end, but also give him everything.

As a result, Dai Huabin's Martial Soul became even more powerful.

It directly transformed into the Nether Tiger King.

A fusion of the Fallen White Tiger and the Hell Spirit Cat.

To some extent, Dai Huabin's Martial Soul is now infinitely close to a god-level Martial Soul.

Such a commotion was quickly discovered by the legion soldiers who were conducting exercises in the mountains and forests.

Two Soul Emperor noticed the anomaly and immediately went to investigate.

Then they saw Dai Huabin devouring their future Duchess.

Moreover, it was a scene where they watched Zhu Lu transform from a living person into a dried-up corpse.

They wanted to stop them, but it was too late.

"This... doesn't he seem to be the young master from back then?"

"Something terrible has happened!"

"This matter must be reported to the eldest son."

The two Soul Emperor realized the crux of the problem and hurriedly retreated to prepare to return and relay the message.

They knew the impact of this matter was enormous.

The future Duchess appeared here in the middle of the night and was devoured by the former young master, who had become Evil Soul Master.

Anything that happens here, once it gets out, will cause a huge uproar.

So they decided to return quietly and deliver the message to Dai Yueheng without attracting attention.

At that moment, Dai Huabin's Martial Soul successfully evolved.

Nether Tiger King!

He did succeed, but he also completely lost his mind.

At this moment, all that filled his mind was endless bloodshed and the hatred for his old enemies.

"Roar!"

With a roar, Dai Huabin transformed into the Nether Tiger King, indiscriminately slaughtering any living beings around him.

Therefore, the two Soul Emperor had no choice but to fight.

The legion was conducting exercises here, and naturally, there were more than just the two of them. The battle here quickly attracted the attention of other areas.

People kept approaching.

A battle is inevitable.

Dai Huabin is indeed very strong now. Although he has not yet obtained his Eighth Soul Ring, the power he has shown is in no way inferior to that of Soul Douluo.

Many soldiers were killed by him in a single encounter.

A frenzied slaughter, bloodshed guiding the darkness, and screams echoing through the mountains and forests.

Has it started?

Dai Huabin looked at the distant mountains and forests. He knew that his younger brother had followed the route he had been given.

It's time to end all of this.

After this day, no one will be able to threaten his inheritance of the title of White Tiger Duke.

Moreover, Zhu Lu, as an obstacle, will become a target of public criticism and condemnation.

And he was the innocent victim.

"My dear brother, don't blame your older brother."

"The struggle for the crown prince position has always been like this!"

"Blame your own stupidity for not realizing it."

As Dai Yueheng murmured softly, the White Tiger Martial Soul possessed him.

"What happened?"

Dai Yueheng roared and immediately unleashed his Martial Soul Avatar, heading towards the distant mountains and forests.

"The eldest young master has arrived!"

"The young master has come to save us!"

"Brothers, hold on a little longer, the young master is coming soon!"

Upon hearing Dai Yueheng's roar, the soldiers' morale soared.

It was as if I had seen endless hope.

Dai Yueheng arrived quickly.

"You... you are Huabin..."

"You wicked beast, you've actually fallen into darkness and become Evil Soul Master."

"You have fallen so low, disgracing the name of my White Tiger Lineage. Today, as the eldest brother, I will rid the world of this wretched creature for Father."

Dai Yueheng roared and charged forward with righteous indignation.

They seemed determined to kill Dai Huabin.
