To be able to devour a Title Douluo the moment one wakes up...

The Demon Emperor could not imagine just how formidable Lin Tian's natural talent was. This guy was a born evil seed—no, a born Evil God!

At this moment, Lin Tian was feeling incredibly thrilled inside. After hearing what Leng Yulai said, he almost wanted to laugh. If he could really devour whoever he wanted whenever he pleased, he would just toss anyone he disliked into his Blood Sea and become invincible. But how could it be that simple?

It required the target to have a Blood Martial Soul, and then they had to actively use their own blood to touch his, or have their Martial Soul make contact with his. Only then would his Blood Sea trigger a siphon effect to pull the opponent in. This wasn't something he could actively control; it was an automatic defense mechanism of the Blood Sea, and he wouldn't be able to pull it off more than a few times in his life.

He actually wanted to... forget it. This woman was, at the very least, here to save him, and her name sounded somewhat familiar. He couldn't quite place it—who was Leng Yulai? A side character from the original work?

Whatever. She wasn't important right now. The most important things were the big shots on the other side of the soul guidance screen: the Ghost Emperor, the Underworld Emperor, and the Demon Emperor. The three giants of the Holy Spirit Sect had all arrived.

He hadn't expected that his Martial Soul mutating and devouring a Title Douluo would be such a massive gimmick, attracting all the leaders of the Holy Spirit Sect. He had a hunch that as long as he played his part well, he would be set for life starting today.

He appeared manic, but in reality, his mind was crystal clear. While he continued to act deranged on the surface, he had already channeled his Blood Sea Martial Soul to consume all the high-level energy Leng Yulai had given him, directing it into the Blood Sea to rapidly catalyze his cells.

New Corrupted Blood Sea Monsters were being born in the Blood Sea in an endless stream, and then something even more heaven-defying occurred:

The newly born Corrupted Blood Sea Monsters didn't just attack the Sea Soul Beasts; they also began slaughtering the already corrupted Corrupted Sea Monsters.

Originally, the dynamic within the Blood Sea was a war between Blood Sea monsters and Sea Soul Beasts. But now, it had devolved into a chaotic three-way bloodbath: Corrupted monsters fighting Sea Soul Beasts, Corrupted Blood Sea Monsters fighting Sea Soul Beasts and Native Blood Sea Monsters, Native Blood Sea Monsters fighting Corrupted Blood Sea Monsters and Sea Soul Beasts, and Sea Soul Beasts fighting both types of Blood Sea monsters. There was no room for cooperation; all three sides were mortal enemies.

Lin Tian didn't yet realize that his Blood Sea had turned into an Asura hell. The Native Blood Sea Monsters were being pushed back at every turn, essentially being instantly killed and devoured the moment a batch was born, making the strong only stronger.

Lin Tian couldn't get enough high-level energy right now. His body was actually perfectly fine; he was just incredibly hungry.

Although the Corrupted Blood Sea Monsters were all Demon Pills, they were still part of his blood cells and wouldn't cause any other negative effects on his bodily functions. However, the fact that every newborn Blood Sea monster was devoured clean brought Lin Tian serious trouble. He had gone from being unable to feel full no matter how much he ate, to now being unable to eat enough to satisfy his hunger.

Still, Lin Tian didn't dare to overact. After two hours of devouring, when Leng Yulai began to wonder why it hadn't ended yet, he reined in his greed. His blood-red eyes began to clear, his twitching stopped, the manic expression on his face gradually faded, and finally, his gaze locked onto Leng Yulai.

"You... who are you?"

Lin Tian's voice was hoarse, carrying the weakness and confusion of someone who had just regained consciousness, perfectly playing the role of a character who had just woken up from a loss of control and lost his memories.

"You don't remember anything? Do you want me to help you recall? For example, who you are?"

"I remember my name. I am Lin Tian. Lin for the forest, Tian for the sky. Who are you?"

"My name is Leng Yulai. Big sister is your savior, little one. You owe me your life. To save you, I lost half of mine. You won't be able to pay this debt back in this lifetime."

"Ah, this..."

Did she really have to get so deep into character?

And this Evil Soul Master was actually trying to take credit for everything?

How could anyone be willing to sacrifice half their life for a stranger? It wasn't like she was pressured by her superiors; it was clearly the Underworld Emperor, the Ghost Emperor, or the Demon Emperor above. Even if he were to repay anyone, he would repay them. If he were to offer his body, he'd offer it to the Underworld Emperor or the Ghost Emperor.

However, she really had lost half her life for him, and Lin Tian wasn't so ungrateful as to give her a cold shoulder.

"But big sister, who are you? Are you from those righteous Federation organizations here to save me? Can you send me home? My little sister is still waiting for me at home, and I still have to report to the Spirit Pagoda. The Spirit Pagoda is the most righteous organization on the continent!"

"Hahahahaha, what did you say? The Spirit Pagoda is the most righteous organization in the world? Hahahahaha..."

Leng Yulai couldn't hold it in anymore. She clutched her stomach and burst into laughter, hands on her slender waist, gasping for air. "Righteous? Little one, you are already the most evil of Evil Soul Masters. You can never go back. As for the Spirit Pagoda, I won't tell you too much for now, but you'll find out later."

"Ah? What is going on? Big sister, who are you? Why am I... I..."

After Lin Tian finished speaking, he suddenly looked blank. Immediately after, as if a sharp pain had pierced his brain, he clutched his head and his body trembled for a moment before he finally opened his eyes.

This time, his eyes turned red again, and a look of unbelievable horror appeared on his face.

"Evil Soul Master, Martial Soul corruption, Blood Fiend? I ate him? I drank blood... Ugh! What is this... I actually..."

"Yo, you remembered everything. Then I don't need to explain much more. Little one, congratulations on leaving behind a low-level life and successfully joining the great evolution. Welcome to the most real world."

"I am one of the Heavenly Kings of the Holy Spirit Sect, the Evil Phoenix Douluo, Leng Yulai."

She paused, her tone becoming serious. "There are three big figures who want to see you today. They are the Ghost Emperor and the Underworld Emperor of my Holy Spirit Sect, both 99th-rank Limit Douluo and undisputed quasi-god powerhouses, as well as the supreme ruler of my Holy Sect, the Supreme Sect Leader, Lord Demon Emperor."

"Hehehehe, little one, This Seat likes you!"

The Ghost Emperor started off with his signature evil laugh.

The Underworld Emperor, meanwhile, had a look of admiration in his eyes:

"Your Martial Soul is quite good. I wonder whose is superior, yours or my Underworld King Sword."

The Demon Emperor's beautiful eyes shifted, and she spoke to Lin Tian in a gentle tone:

"Little one, the moment you were captured by Blood Fiend, your life changed completely."

"From what you said in Proud Arrival City, it's clear you are a very kind child. But the kinder one is, the more extreme one becomes after corruption."

"Your background made you precocious, which is why you were able to calmly save a city all by yourself back then. You should be able to see the situation clearly now."

"You have been corrupted; you have become an Evil Soul Master. You are no longer your normal self, little one. You cannot go back."

"You have already killed people, eaten people, and drunk blood. In your loss of control, you will kill more people and drink more blood."

"But my Holy Sect has a way to curb the flaws of your Martial Soul, and now, This Seat is giving you that opportunity."

"My Holy Sect implements a bottom-elimination system. Since you ate Blood Fiend, everything that was his now belongs to you. His identity, his status, his territory, everything—it is all yours now."

"From this moment on, you are the Blood Shadow Envoy of the Holy Sect, enjoying all the rights and privileges of a Title Douluo elder!"
