On the light screen, the image was incomparably clear:
Blood Fiend's Blood Snake Martial Soul coiled tightly around Lin Tian like a giant python, while thick, pungent blood fiend energy surged madly into his body. Blood Shadow Douluo wore a ferocious expression, exerting his soul power to the limit to accelerate the process of his corruption.
Yet at that very moment, a dazzling, brilliant blood-colored radiance erupted from Lin Tian's body. Deep within that light, a blurred blood-colored vortex quietly took shape.
Before Blood Fiend could even react, the vortex erupted with a terrifying suction force, tearing his Blood Snake Martial Soul into pieces!
"Impossible!"
Blood Fiend, seen on the screen, let out a shriek of extreme terror, exhausting all his soul power to resist as his nine soul rings flickered frantically.
He hastily unleashed every soul skill at his disposal, sending a boundless Blood Sea surging toward the vortex in a desperate attempt to block that horrific suction.
But the power of the blood-colored vortex was beyond imagination. The moment the Blood Sea approached, it was instantly devoured. Even Blood Fiend himself was locked in place by an invisible force, his body flying uncontrollably toward the vortex.
The surveillance footage captured Blood Fiend's struggle with perfect clarity:
He flailed his arms wildly, his soul power leaking out like a tide, desperately grabbing at everything around him to break free from the devouring force. But all his resistance was like a mantis trying to stop a chariot—utterly fragile.
In the end, accompanied by a desperate, shrill scream, Blood Fiend was completely swallowed by the blood-colored vortex.
The vortex slowly receded, all the blood-colored radiance pouring into Lin Tian's body, leaving him collapsed on the ground, utterly drained.
The entire process—from the initial dominance of Blood Fiend, a Title Douluo, to his powerless struggle, and finally his desperate helplessness—was recorded in full by the surveillance, highlighting the sheer scale of the reversal.
Before the light screen, Leng Yulai's pupils contracted sharply, her blood seemingly freezing in that instant.
She instinctively jerked her hand back. The motion that had been gently supporting Lin Tian instantly turned into a reflexive shove, casting him heavily into the pool of blood.
Her heart hammered against her ribs, an irrepressible sense of lingering fear rushing to her head.
Just moments ago, her fingertips had been inches away from Lin Tian's Martial Soul. The boy was capable of devouring the Martial Soul and physical form of a Title Douluo with such ease!
If his Martial Soul had erupted while she was that close, she might have suffered the exact same fate as Blood Fiend!
On the screen, Demon Emperor's scarlet, beautiful eyes narrowed slightly, her tone carrying a trace of imperceptible gravity:
"This devouring power... is somewhat interesting."
Ghost Emperor looked at Leng Yulai with a playful expression, his mocking voice ringing out at the perfect moment:
"What's wrong? Is the fearless Evil Phoenix scared stiff by a mere brat?"
Yet, his gaze remained fixed on Lin Tian's figure on the screen, his heart heavy with gravity!
What kind of Martial Soul was this, exactly?
Why did it possess such terrifying devouring power?
At this, Leng Yulai spoke up:
"Of course I'm afraid. At first, I thought he only managed to devour Blood Fiend by catching him off guard or when he was at his weakest. But I never expected him to forcibly devour a Title Douluo while the man was struggling with all his might, and so effortlessly at that.
I am only a Super Douluo; if he can devour a Title Douluo so easily, he might well be able to devour me. It's only natural for me to be afraid."
After saying this, Leng Yulai moved a bit further away from Lin Tian. She used a hand made of soul power to manipulate and fix Lin Tian's body in place, then fed him medicine to stabilize his Martial Soul and physical state.
However, fear aside, her curiosity toward Lin Tian grew ever stronger.
Everyone had seen the footage; the boy's Martial Soul could be called heaven-defying. It had such miraculous effects without a single soul ring attached—what would happen once he added them?
For a Body Martial Soul master, the second awakening of the body is their turning point. But for Lin Tian, his second turning point was the corruption of his Martial Soul, and it had corrupted perfectly.
If he were to undergo a second awakening on top of having Twin Martial Souls, Leng Yulai dared not imagine how terrifying the boy's future achievements would be.
If Leng Yulai could think of this, how could the more seasoned Underworld Emperor and Ghost Emperor, or even Demon Emperor who had lived for countless ages, fail to see it?
In truth, Demon Emperor had no interest in geniuses with Twin Martial Souls or Body Martial Souls. Human lifespans were far too short; to her, the entire Holy Spirit Sect would undergo a generational shift in the time it took her to sleep or enter seclusion.
She chose to be active in the world during this era because of Underworld Emperor, an existence that defied all logic. His talent was rare in the world, and she felt she had a chance to fulfill her long-cherished wish in this lifetime.
Now, Heaven had sent Lin Tian to her. She needed to rely on a blood array to become a god, and Lin Tian had awakened such a heaven-defying Blood Martial Soul. If she used him as the core of the array and devoured him, her success rate would increase significantly, and she might even be able to accelerate the timeline.
Thinking of this, she found Lin Tian more and more pleasing to the eye. Even the frustrating events from earlier eased slightly, though she remained deeply anxious.
Just two days ago, she didn't know what that god-damned Sea God had done, but while in seclusion, she suddenly felt a summons from the void. Any Sea Soul Beast would inevitably be drawn away.
The few members of the Deep Sea Demon Whale clan she kept in the Holy Spirit Sect's blood pool had all vanished into thin air, and even she had barely managed to hold on.
Fortunately, she relied on her million-year cultivation to forcibly resist, but her precious daughter, with only two hundred thousand years of cultivation, was in danger. She instantly used her cultivation to lock onto her daughter, Lan Fozi, but it was to no avail.
In desperation, she sacrificed the majority of her blood pool—the one she had accumulated over countless ages—to forcibly activate a reversal array. She bypassed the rules of transformation, allowing her precious daughter to take human form, just like the Heavenly Snow Woman ten thousand years ago.
Yet, she didn't even have time to share a moment of tenderness with her daughter before she heartlessly sent her to Shrek City.
Six years old was the perfect age to venture out. Her Holy Sect needed a core mole, and sending a six-year-old child to Shrek was the best timing to deliver a fatal blow in the future.
Regrettably, Demon Emperor did not know that this decision would be the greatest mistake of her life.
You don't treat the Romance Continent like a joke!
Having sent away her precious daughter, whom she had raised for tens of thousands of years, she felt an unbearable longing, followed by impatience.
Human lifespans were so fleeting. She had originally planned to destroy everything Tang San held dear, take her revenge, and then return to the sea with her daughter and the remaining members of the Deep Sea Demon Whale clan to live a carefree life. After all, if the continent was destroyed, what did it matter to them, the Sea Soul Beasts?
But now that her daughter was forced into human form, she had to plot a new path for her. She needed to reach the hundredth level to become a god, and she had to help her daughter do the same. For this, she needed endless blood, and Lin Tian had caught her eye.
Demon Emperor stared at Lin Tian with greed:
"Little one, devour, mutate, grow strong, and collect a constant stream of blood for me. The future of This Seat and my daughter rests upon you."
