He Defeated the Evil Emperor in an Instant with a Flick of His Finger; Dismiss Humanity Again, and You Die
"Forget it. Looks like I can't go back."
"Hurry up. Don't waste my time!"
Duan Changsheng had been about to leave, but who knew he'd end up staying? He was feeling a little annoyed.
But as soon as he finished speaking, he found himself in a forest filled with sinister energy.
When the Evil Emperor appeared there, everyone on Douluo Continent was startled.
It was a gigantic eye more than three hundred meters across, with eighty-one enormous tentacles, each over five hundred meters long. It looked utterly terrifying.
But what frightened them most was the Evil Emperor's cultivation.
He had cultivated for seven hundred and ninety thousand years—over three hundred thousand years longer than Xiong Jun.
How could Douluo Continent still have such a terrifying Soul Beast?
Judging by its size and fearsome appearance, its combat power had to be astonishing.
"It's actually him!"
"This battle should be interesting!"
"My lord, with the Evil Emperor's strength, he'll surely be able to expose this man's true cultivation."
Di Tian had clashed with the Evil Emperor several times.
Across Douluo Continent, only the Evil Emperor was worthy of being his opponent.
As for the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King mentioned in the Combat Power Ranking, he had never encountered it.
If he got the chance, he would fight this ferocious beast of the sea.
He would show it who the true king of the Soul Beasts was.
"Indeed. He's far more reliable than that stupid bear!"
Gu Yuena nodded and glanced at Xiong Jun, who had returned to the Star Dou Forest.
By now, Xiong Jun had completely recovered, without a scratch on him.
When he noticed Gu Yuena looking at him, he cowered on the ground, trembling in fear.
He knew he'd caused trouble and brought shame upon the Soul Beasts.
"Human, make your move."
"Otherwise, don't blame this emperor for not giving you a chance!"
The Evil Emperor looked down at the tiny human before him, his eyes full of disdain.
A mere little ant. Nothing worth mentioning.
"You sure?"
"If I make a move, you won't get another chance!"
Seeing the Evil Emperor's arrogant manner, Duan Changsheng laughed.
Were Soul Beasts these days all so arrogant?
They came in looking down on him right away.
Where did these Soul Beasts get their confidence?
Did they really think humans were so easy to bully?
"Arrogant!"
"Very well. This emperor will show you what absolute strength means!"
"Mental Blast!"
The Evil Emperor was getting angry. This ant before him was far too arrogant.
He dared to boast like that right to his face.
If he didn't teach him a proper lesson, the human might really think he was the top-ranked fighter.
The Evil Emperor's enormous eye opened slightly, and a beam of silver light shot out in an instant.
Duan Changsheng remained completely calm. Smiling, he stood with his hands behind his back, making no attempt to defend himself.
Everyone watching felt their hearts leap into their throats.
This was an attack from a seven-hundred-and-ninety-thousand-year Soul Beast. Was he not even going to fight back?
Was he so frightened that he'd already given up resisting?
As everyone watched anxiously, the silver light struck Duan Changsheng squarely and burst into a silvery halo.
When the halo faded, Duan Changsheng stood quietly where he was, completely unharmed.
Everyone stared in disbelief!
He was that strong?
Was this the power of the top-ranked fighter?
Terrifying!
It seemed they'd been wrong about him.
His victories over Tang Hao and Xiong Jun hadn't been a matter of luck.
Meanwhile, the Evil Emperor stared wide-eyed in shock, looking especially frightening!
His Mental Shock wasn't a particularly damaging Soul Skill, but it was enough to paralyze any Soul Beast under a hundred thousand years old.
Yet this human hadn't even been bothered.
Could his cultivation have broken past the limit, reaching the hundredth level and becoming a god?
No. That couldn't be!
"Light of Time and Space!"
Unwilling to accept it, the Evil Emperor drew a deep breath, gathered all his Soul Power, and unleashed a beam of silver light capable of freezing all of time and space.
Duan Changsheng still didn't move, letting the silver light hit him.
In that instant, the silver light erupted in a dazzling radiance, illuminating the entire space and unleashing a terrifying brilliance.
Yet even then, Duan Changsheng remained completely unharmed.
The Evil Emperor was utterly dumbfounded.
Why had his attacks had no effect on this human? It was as if they hadn't even hit him.
"How is this possible?"
"The Evil Emperor's Light of Time and Space would force even me to go all out!"
"And this man actually withstood it with his body alone."
"How powerful is he? Could he have become a god?"
Di Tian was stunned, and so was everyone watching.
Tang Hao and Xiong Jun in particular were trembling from head to toe.
What kind of power was this? It was terrifying.
The likes of them had actually thought they could challenge him. They'd practically been asking to die.
Just thinking about it was frightening!
"The Evil Emperor's move is indeed powerful. You'd need the cultivation of a demigod to withstand it."
"This man may not have become a god, but he's already broken through his own limits and gained the power of a hundredth-level god."
"It seems we've been like frogs at the bottom of a well. Who knew Douluo Continent still had someone like him?"
Gu Yuena seemed to have seen through Duan Changsheng's cultivation, and a flicker of emotion crossed her eyes.
She wondered whether Soul Beasts could also gain the power of gods this way without becoming gods themselves.
When she had the time, she would have to ask him about it.
"Got anything else?"
"That move still fell a little short!"
"If you can't come up with something better, you won't get another chance!"
With that, Duan Changsheng raised his right hand and beckoned to the Evil Emperor with one finger, his eyes full of mockery.
He was the complete opposite of the arrogant Evil Emperor from earlier.
The Evil Emperor saw the taunting gesture and flew into a rage.
Even knowing he was outmatched, he had to defend the dignity of the Soul Beasts!
"Damn you!"
"This emperor will show you the strongest power!"
"Light of Destruction!"
The Evil Emperor went berserk. His eighty-one tentacles lashed about, radiating dense black light.
His enormous pupil suddenly contracted, silver light flashing within it.
When the silver and black lights had gathered to their utmost, they shot out together, intertwining and circling through the air before finally merging into a silver-black beam.
The beam radiated a terrifying aura of destruction, with enough power to shatter heaven and earth.
"Too weak. You're not even worth watching!"
Seeing the Evil Emperor unleash his strongest attack, Duan Changsheng smiled contemptuously and simply flicked his index finger.
In a flash, a golden light burst forth, piercing straight through the Light of Destruction and striking the Evil Emperor.
Before the Evil Emperor could react, he was already unable to move. His Soul Power rapidly drained away, like air escaping from a punctured ball.
The Light of Destruction crumbled into ash, as if it had never existed.
Hiss...
Everyone watching drew in a sharp breath, completely shaken by Duan Changsheng's combat power.
A Soul Beast with seven hundred and ninety thousand years of cultivation hadn't even been able to resist. It had been defeated in an instant.
As expected of the top-ranked fighter. He deserved the title.
"All Soul Beasts, listen up. If I hear you call humans ants again, I'll kill you!"
Duan Changsheng leaped onto the Evil Emperor and planted a foot on him, trampling him again and again, crushing and humiliating him!
First Xiong Jun, now the Evil Emperor. Both had shown up looking down on humanity.
Humans were the most intelligent beings of all. Since when did Soul Beasts get to look down on them?
If they dared to look down on humanity, they were looking down on him!
He would show no mercy!
