"The chief of the Evil Eye Clan, I accept your proposal."
"But remember your promise. If you lose, obediently sacrifice yourself to me and offer up the Evil Eye Tyrant External Soul Bone."
As soon as he finished speaking, Qian Xunji activated his Martial Soul Possession and donned the Emperor Armor.
Tiny golden flames flickered across the armor from time to time.
Back when he had not been strong enough, wearing the Emperor Armor to conceal his face and maintain an air of mystery had brought him many benefits.
Now, however, he was already a Quasi-God. With only two God Trials left before inheriting the Asura God Position, there was no need for him to be so cautious.
"You choose the battlefield." Qian Xunji raised a hand as he spoke.
It did not matter where the battlefield was.
Only the weak would have their combat power diminished by the environment.
The strong would turn the battlefield into an environment advantageous to themselves.
When the Evil Emperor saw Qian Xunji put on the Emperor Armor, it knew that this was his Martial Soul.
It was the first time it had ever seen an armor-type Martial Soul that covered the entire body.
It sensed an ultimate light, sacred, and fire attribute from the armor, making it somewhat want to take back the bold words it had just spoken.
This Martial Soul is anything but ordinary. This is the first time I've seen a Martial Soul of such high quality. It hardly seems like something from the mortal world, the Evil Emperor thought.
It had lived for an exceedingly long time and had seen all manner of Martial Souls possessed by human Spirit Masters on the Sun Moon Continent.
Even the Purple Imperial Heaven-Extinguishing Dragon Martial Soul, mutated from a sun Martial Soul, was inferior in quality to the armor Martial Soul before it.
"You are not a Spirit Master from the Sun Moon Continent." The Evil Emperor stared directly at Qian Xunji, seeking an answer.
"Allow me to introduce myself."
"I am Qian Xunji. Barring any surprises, I will be the next Asura God."
Qian Xunji did not state that he came from Douluo Continent or Spirit Hall.
He was someone who had hurriedly left Spirit City on the very first day after arriving in this world.
Claiming to be from Spirit Hall would have been no different from lying through his teeth.
"Asura God." The Evil Emperor's heart sank.
It did not know what kind of god the Asura God was, nor had it ever heard of him.
But it knew that an inheritor of a god could eventually inherit Godhood and ascend to the God Realm.
No wonder this man could wield a divine artifact and act so arrogantly.
If it could become a god as well, it would definitely be even more arrogant than Qian Xunji.
"The battlefield will be here. We'll settle victory and defeat in one move," the Evil Emperor proposed.
Even if the other party was a god's inheritor, qualified to inherit Godhood and ascend to the God Realm,
the Evil Emperor still did not wish to sacrifice itself to a human.
Even though its soul could reside within the Spirit Ring and Spirit Bone after the sacrifice.
Before the battle began, the Evil Emperor issued orders for its descendants to leave the core region, with the strong protecting the weak as they headed toward the outer regions.
"Is the Evil Eye Tyrant Sovereign title fake or something?" the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King mocked.
"Gentleness is reserved for one's own kind, while tyrant sovereign is a title given by one's enemies."
"But then again, being smeared by enemies is precisely because what he did broke them."
Qian Xunji's words reminded the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King of Sea God Poseidon and the Sea Soul Masters on Sea God Island.
It spent most of its time in the Demon Whale Sea Area, yet they constantly claimed that it was an Evil Spirit Beast that endangered the oceans.
Above the Evil Demon Forest, a man and a giant beast faced each other in a tense standoff.
A fierce wind swept in with the clouds, obscuring half of the Evil Eye Tyrant Sovereign's body.
Its massive eye flickered with a dangerous gleam.
The Endless Spiritual Domain unfolded.
Seeing this, Qian Xunji also unleashed his own spiritual domain.
The energy fluctuations produced by the collision of the two great spiritual domains blew away the clouds surrounding the Evil Emperor.
The Evil Emperor watched as its Endless Spiritual Domain lasted only a few moments before being forced back by Qian Xunji's spiritual domain.
Why does his spiritual power feel even stronger than his Soul Power Level? The Evil Emperor instinctively sensed that something was wrong, and its mind briefly wandered.
Qian Xunji's Soul Power Level was level 99. He was also a Quasi-God who had grasped the basics of laws, only one step away from becoming a god.
If his spiritual power was even stronger than his own Soul Power Level, did that not mean he possessed god-level spiritual power?
It was not that the Evil Emperor was arrogant. In terms of spiritual power strength and application alone, so long as the opponent was not god-level and their spiritual sense had not transformed into divine sense,
as long as they were still at the peak of the Spirit Domain Realm, it was invincible within this realm.
"Self-Created Ultimate Technique: Light of Time and Space!"
The Evil Emperor unleashed its strongest killing move.
In the original Douluo story, even if Beast God Di Tian came, taking this attack from the Evil Emperor would have left him needing a thousand years to recover.
Yet Qian Xunji merely used Sword Separating the World. One sword broke through ten thousand techniques, and a red infrared laser-guided strike severed the Evil Emperor's Light of Time and Space.
"How is this possible!!!"
The sight before it made the Evil Emperor cry out in disbelief.
Everything that had happened before its eyes made it unable to believe this outcome.
What it found even harder to believe was that after Sword Separating the World severed its "Self-Created Ultimate Technique: Light of Time and Space," its power did not diminish. It carved a bottomless ravine through the Evil Demon Forest.
Countless trees along the ravine were cut apart, and large numbers of Spirit Beasts were injured or killed. The innumerable white, yellow, purple, black, and other-colored Spirit Ring glows even made the originally dense black mist seem less sinister and terrifying.
"Lord Evil Emperor lost."
The powerful members of the Evil Eye Clan who could speak let out mournful cries.
If Lord Evil Emperor had lost, then it would have to sacrifice itself to that arrogant and domineering human.
"No!" Snowflakes drifted, and the northern wind wailed.
They could not accept this outcome.
But the Evil Eye Clan had always valued promises. What they said, they did.
"Human, I will sacrifice myself to you, but you must uphold your promise not to harm a single blade of grass or tree in the Evil Demon Forest."
The casualties caused by the previous battle were directly ignored by the Evil Emperor.
After all, before the battle, although Qian Xunji had used force to threaten it, he had not acted like other humans who came to the Evil Demon Forest and knew only destruction and slaughter.
"I always keep my word."
Qian Xunji abruptly changed the subject. "Your Evil Eye Clan has excellent talent and great potential. I want to raise a few."
"We will never be slaves!" The powerful members of the Evil Eye Clan refused in unison.
"What a pity." A trace of regret and pity flashed through Qian Xunji's eyes.
The Evil Demon Forest of the second Douluo era would disappear by the third Douluo era.
By the third Douluo era, there might not even be a few Evil Eyes left alive with flesh and blood.
To Qian Xunji, it would have been far too regrettable if such an outstanding race as the Evil Eye Clan went extinct.
Valuable creatures deserved to be raised as protected animals.
And he did not mind becoming their keeper.
Not wanting to cause further trouble, the Evil Emperor selected ten male and ten female Evil Eye cubs and handed them over to Qian Xunji.
It knew that if the other party truly wanted to raise them, he had plenty of ways to do so.
It was better to give them to him now, lest he personally return to the Evil Demon Forest or send someone else.
At that point, the Evil Eye Clan might suffer heavy casualties.
At the very least, the Qian Xunji before it was willing to talk, while most humans were foolish and impossible to reason with.
After Qian Xunji placed the twenty Evil Eye cubs into the Ten Thousand Beast Platform Sub-dimension, the Evil Emperor began its sacrifice.
As the Evil Emperor began to sacrifice itself, all the beasts who witnessed it wailed mournfully.
Qian Xunji took out the Side-Effect-Free Spirit Ring Deprivation Card and stripped away his fifth Spirit Ring.
He could not let the high-quality Spirit Ring produced by the Evil Emperor's sacrifice go to waste.
His original fifth Spirit Ring was the Holy Sword, a ten-thousand-year weapon-type soul skill that was of no use to him whatsoever.
His current Martial Soul was not the Six-Winged Angel, but the Emperor Armor, which came with its own weapon.
After Qian Xunji absorbed and refined the Evil Eye Tyrant External Soul Bone before departing, the Evil Demon Forest returned to tranquility.
His next target was the Thunderclap Nether Vine, a Spirit Beast possessing Thunder God bloodline and the Destruction attribute.
