Sun Moon Continent, Evil Demon Forest.
The Evil Demon Forest is situated in the northwest of the Sun Moon Continent, stretching out behind the Jingyang Mountain Range. It is the largest habitat for spirit beasts within the Sun Moon Continent.
The entire forest is shrouded in thick black mist year-round, with sunlight barely able to penetrate it. It is recognized across the continent as a top-tier forbidden zone, with a danger level comparable to the core area of the Star Dou Forest.
The forest's vegetation is dominated by dark coniferous trees, with plants that are entirely ink-black or dark purple, lacking the vibrant green of ordinary forests. The air is continuously filled with dense, dark, and soul-eroding evil energy.
The spirit beasts inhabiting this place are primarily spirit-type and dark-mutated spirit beasts. The leader of the clan is the Evil Eye Tyrant Sovereign—the Evil Emperor—who has a cultivation base of nearly 800,000 years. The entire forest is his territory.
A giant, singular eye floats in mid-air, spanning over three hundred meters in diameter. Its base is a dark, bloody red, the whites of the eye are a dull silver-gray, and the pupil is an unfathomable ink-black slit. As it rotates, it emits a distorted, dark-red mist of spiritual energy.
The edge of the giant eye is surrounded by eighty-one fleshy tentacles, each over five hundred meters long. They share the same color as the eyeball, and their surfaces are covered in dense, microscopic Evil Eye patterns. They can be swung, used to pierce, coiled, or spread out to form a spiritual barrier.
"Human powerhouse, why do you trespass into this Emperor's territory!" The Evil Emperor's giant eye watched Qian Xunji vigilantly, issuing a warning.
The aura radiating from the human powerhouse before him was strong—so strong that even with the advantage of his home turf, the Evil Emperor did not have absolute certainty of victory.
Such a powerhouse, nearing godhood, would not come to the Evil Demon Forest alone merely to hunt spirit beasts for spirit rings.
If not for spirit rings, then it must be to hunt spirit beasts for spirit bones.
The Evil Eye Clan is born with powerful spiritual strength.
When an Evil Eye Tyrant over 100,000 years old dies, it is guaranteed to drop a skull spirit bone, with a very low probability of dropping an external spirit bone.
"You are the Evil Eye Tyrant Sovereign, the patriarch of the Evil Eye Clan."
"Sacrifice yourself to This Seat and offer up the Evil Eye Tyrant external spirit bone, otherwise..."
Qian Xunji rubbed his hands together to form a dazzling red sphere. This was a fusion technique he created by combining his Divine Origin Realm spiritual power with the Asura Domain and Soul Shock, infused with light and judgment attributes.
It was named: Asura Law. Its effect was similar to Fairy Law from Fairy Tail, clearing out enemies, but it targeted only the soul, destroying the spirit while leaving the flesh intact.
Beneath his feet, the Asura Domain expanded, spreading to the entire core area of the Evil Demon Forest and the habitats of the mid-level Evil Eye Clan.
Any living being within the Asura Domain judged by Qian Xunji to be an enemy would be subjected to the attack of the Asura Law.
"Human, you dare threaten this Emperor!" The Evil Emperor's fury soared to the heavens.
The human before him had demanded his sacrifice and the external spirit bone the moment he opened his mouth, even using the lives of his entire clan to force him into submission.
This was simply bullying the Evil Eye Clan too far!
Facing Qian Xunji's show of force, the members of the Evil Eye Clan with cultivation ages exceeding 100,000 years rose into the air, surrounding him.
"Human, we admit you are strong, but do not think you can make our Evil Eye Clan submit through force alone!"
"We would rather be shattered like jade than bow our heads, become slaves, and linger on in a wretched state!"
"You use our lives to threaten us, then we will detonate ourselves along with you!"
"Don't even think about getting the external spirit bone that drops after our clan dies!"
The unyielding actions of the Evil Eye Clan powerhouses surprised Qian Xunji.
He praised them inwardly: As expected of an alien species; they are truly different from the vast majority of foolish Douluo natives.
Outsiders who could gain a foothold and grow strong in a foreign land were indeed no cowards.
For every spirit-type beast, the will must be firm and fearless of strong enemies to continue growing stronger.
Qian Xunji clapped his hands, dispelling his self-created fusion technique, Asura Law.
He did not want all these Evil Eyes with over 100,000 years of cultivation to detonate themselves.
His goal in coming to the Sun Moon Continent was the Evil Eye Tyrant external spirit bone in the Evil Demon Forest, not to exterminate their entire clan.
Qian Xunji clapped his hands. "This Seat admires your clan."
He took out the Level 12 fixed-guide ammunition, "Eternal Kingdom," holding it in his hand with a piercing gaze locked onto the Evil Emperor.
"As long as you, Evil Emperor, sacrifice yourself to This Seat and offer the external spirit bone I desire!"
"This Seat guarantees not to touch a single blade of grass in the Evil Demon Forest!"
The Evil Emperor's massive body trembled with rage.
The human before him was simply not human!
He was actually using fixed-guide ammunition to threaten him.
He instinctively sensed that this thing was even more dangerous than the self-created spirit technique the opponent had used earlier.
The Evil Emperor possessed time, space, and spirit attributes.
He actually caught a vision of the shockwave from the massive fireball created by this fixed-guide ammunition destroying the entire Evil Demon Forest.
The Evil Emperor stared fixedly at the Eternal Kingdom, his heart filled with shock: Compared to this thing, the fixed-guide ammunition made by those spirit engineers is nothing more than a firecracker.
It wasn't just the Evil Emperor; when Qian Xunji held the Eternal Kingdom, the powerhouses of the Evil Eye Clan felt a danger even more lethal than when Qian Xunji had unleashed the "Asura Law."
The Asura Law only targeted the soul, but the Eternal Kingdom made them feel as though both their bodies and souls were being targeted.
"Human, you want the Evil Eye Tyrant external spirit bone? I will sacrifice myself to you." An Evil Eye Tyrant with a cultivation age nearing 200,000 years, knowing he could not survive his upcoming 200,000-year tribulation, volunteered himself.
The Evil Emperor was the strongest of their Evil Eye Clan, and the clan could not afford to lose him.
As an Nth-generation descendant of the Evil Emperor, he had grown up under the Evil Emperor's protection since birth.
Now that the Evil Emperor was in trouble, it was time for him to repay that kindness.
"Too weak, and it lacks time and space attributes. I don't want it." Qian Xunji merely glanced at it, speaking coldly with a tone full of disdain.
He could accept settling for second best by accepting the sacrifice of a beast-level Evil Eye Tyrant to obtain an external Spirit Bone.
However, it had to possess time and space attributes.
Otherwise, he didn't want it.
"Human, you are not allowed to insult my subjects! Your target is This Seat, so if you have any grievances, come at This Seat!"
The Evil Emperor could not stand to see his descendants being humiliated.
"Sacrifice to This Seat, offer up your external Spirit Bone, I do not wish to repeat myself!"
Qian Xunji drew the Asura Demon Sword, holding the sword in one hand and the Eternal Kingdom in the other, issuing his final ultimatum.
If the Evil Emperor were in human form, the corners of his mouth would be twitching with rage right now.
What kind of background did this human have to be able to pull out god-slaying-level fixed-station soul cannon shells and divine artifacts one after another?
"This Seat has This Seat's pride!"
"If you want This Seat to sacrifice to you, you cannot rely on external objects—no soul guidance devices, no divine artifacts, no divine power. You must rely on your own strength to defeat This Seat!"
"If you cannot do that, then you have no right to make This Seat sacrifice itself!"
Seeking a glimmer of survival, the Evil Emperor took a step back, using retreat as a means of advance to propose his own conditions.
As long as Qian Xunji did not rely on external forces, the Evil Emperor did not believe he would lose to his opponent.
Evil Emperor: My Light of Time and Space has never been anything but sharp!
"Are you going to agree to his terms?" The Deep Sea Demon Whale King sensed Qian Xunji's hesitation and spoke up to ask.
As the strongest spirit beast in the ocean, even though he had lost his physical body, he could feel that the spirit-attribute beast before them was no simple matter.
He did not want Qian Xunji to take risks against an existence that made him feel danger.
After all, the two were now a community of shared interests, and he did not want anything to happen to Qian Xunji.
Furthermore, his wife and daughter were currently living in the Ten Thousand Beast Platform Sub-dimension; they were safe from the heavenly tribulation and spent their days happily thinking about what delicious food to eat next.
As a husband and father, he did not want his wife and daughter to lose their current safe and happy life.
"Mr. Demon Whale King, you still don't understand me."
"As for me, I never do anything I'm not sure about. Once I sense a threat to my life, I am absolutely the first person to run."
Shui Ping never walked into a dead end.
"If you are confident, then I am relieved." Seeing Qian Xunji's look of certainty, the Deep Sea Demon Whale King set his mind at ease.
This guy dared to face the Sea God's divine consciousness head-on with a sword, not retreating a single step.
He even dared to go to Sea God Island to fleece the Sea God, slimming down the divine artifact Trident right in front of the Sea God's divine consciousness.
He always acted as if he were the greatest under heaven, reckless and daring.
But when Qian Xunji said, "Once I sense a threat to my life, I am absolutely the first person to run," the Deep Sea Demon Whale King's opinion of him changed.
This man was definitely no brute.
