Lu Chen strolled along at an unhurried pace.

He did not deliberately use Mind Perception, because there was no need. Those beings would come looking for him themselves soon enough.

After walking for a while, Lu Chen suddenly stopped beside a massive tree. He had already sensed something slowly approaching.

"Oh? You've finally come?"

Lu Chen appeared exceptionally composed. With the Infinite Gem, he feared no one. Even when facing the most terrifying existence in the Land of Great Evil, Lu Chen would not so much as furrow his brow.

I, Lu Chen, fear no one!

He raised his head, a disdainful sneer curling across his lips.

Because the sneaky presence approaching him was directly above his head.

"Fuck! Fuck! Fuck!"

Three curses in a row, as though he had seen something utterly terrifying.

His heart gave a violent thump, and goosebumps erupted all over his body.

With a Teleportation, Lu Chen flashed several yards away, his expression turning ugly.

One second he had been trying to show off; the next, he had slapped himself in the face.

Above Lu Chen's head moments ago had been an enormous spider, staring down at him with a cluster of gleaming green eyes. Its hideous, grotesque maw dripped foul-smelling liquid every now and then.

Its eight long spider legs spread wide, the front two poised as though ready to pounce.

"Damn it, I'm most afraid of disgusting things like this. You scared the hell out of me. It's an eyesore!"

Lu Chen stared at the huge spider hanging from its web, his face slightly pale.

He vaguely remembered that, in his previous life at the orphanage, there had been a palm-sized spider on the ceiling of his room, its eight legs waving about like claws and fangs.

Even now, it remained a shadow he could not shake.

The Bloodthirsty Spider Emperor froze briefly when its prey suddenly vanished, but it quickly spotted Lu Chen again nearby.

It leaped down from its web, let out a series of hisses at Lu Chen, then charged at him like a gust of wind.

Through his perception of soul strength, Lu Chen knew that this spider had cultivated for a hundred thousand years.

"Coming to the Land of Great Evil and you serve me a tough dish right away? Watch me crush you to pulp!"

Facing the menacing Bloodthirsty Spider Emperor, Lu Chen forcibly suppressed the urge to vomit. This thing was simply too ugly and disgusting; it was impossible not to get goosebumps.

He summoned his Infinite Gem martial soul, and the dazzling blue Space Gem activated Space Imprisonment.

The charging Bloodthirsty Spider Emperor was instantly locked in place, unable to move.

"You still dare come near me? With a face that ugly, you shouldn't show yourself in public. Watch me smash all your Soul Rings to pieces."

Spotting a massive boulder in the distance, Lu Chen used the Power Gem's control over force and activated gravity.

A boulder weighing at least several dozen tons was pulled to a point a thousand meters directly above the Bloodthirsty Spider Emperor.

"Feel pain. Contemplate pain. Accept pain. Know pain. A bag of rice carries how many floors."

Lu Chen released his control over the boulder's gravity, and the massive rock, weighing dozens of tons, crashed down upon the Bloodthirsty Spider Emperor.

Seemingly sensing the danger, the Bloodthirsty Spider Emperor, imprisoned in place, began hissing and struggling desperately.

But it was useless. Without the ability to shatter space, it could forget about breaking free from spatial restraints.

Even if it could damage space, Lu Chen could reinforce its strength. Sooner or later, there would be space it could not break.

Boom!!

The earth trembled. The Bloodthirsty Spider Emperor's enormous abdomen was smashed to pulp, spraying vast amounts of disgusting fluid everywhere. When it hit the ground, it gave off a foul stench.

"Σ_("∠) Ugh!"

"That was careless. I ended up disgusting myself."

Lu Chen turned his head away. He did not want to look at such an eye-searing sight again.

But the Bloodthirsty Spider Emperor was not dead yet, so how could he stop the bag of rice carrying floors?

The Bloodthirsty Spider Emperor was, after all, a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast. Even after being brutally smashed by a boulder weighing dozens of tons, it was only severely injured.

Thus, Lu Chen continuously controlled the boulder and slammed it mercilessly onto the Bloodthirsty Spider Emperor. Its screams echoed throughout the entire Land of Great Evil.

Finally, when a crimson Soul Ring appeared above the Bloodthirsty Spider Emperor, the once-arrogant Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast was beaten to death by Lu Chen with a rock.

Looking at the crimson Soul Ring, Lu Chen casually beckoned, and the Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Ring flew before him.

"So this is the treasure that drives the entire soul master world mad. Too bad it's useless to me."

Soul power wrapped around his right hand as Lu Chen grabbed the Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Ring. He exerted a little force with his palm.

The Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Ring that drove all soul masters into a frenzy was crushed in Lu Chen's hand.

Yet Lu Chen remained perfectly calm, as though he had merely done something insignificant.

"I seem to remember that Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts are guaranteed to drop Soul Bones. I may not need it, but it might come in handy someday."

After using gravity to move the boulder aside, Lu Chen indeed found a glittering Soul Bone on the Bloodthirsty Spider Emperor's corpse.

"It's actually a left arm bone. I wonder what Soul Skill it carries. Poor thing, really—this spider never even got the chance to use its full strength before I killed it. What an aggrieved way to die."

After putting away the Soul Bone, Lu Chen did not waste any more time and headed straight for the Lake of Life.

He was going to meet the supreme ruler of the Star Dou Forest, the Golden-Eyed Black Dragon King—a terrifying Soul Beast with an immense cultivation of eight hundred and eighty thousand years.

Elsewhere, at the Lake of Life.

"Di Tian, that human is coming this way."

The speaker was Zi Ji. Her true form was the Hell Demonic Dragon King. With a cultivation close to three hundred thousand years, she was one of the rulers of the Star Dou Forest.

"So the Bloodthirsty Spider Emperor is already dead?"

Beside the Lake of Life, a domineering-looking man resembling a middle-aged uncle opened his golden eyes. At that instant, it seemed as though heaven and earth had lost their color within those golden pupils.

"It's dead. It had no ability to resist at all. That human did not even use a Soul Skill—the Bloodthirsty Spider Emperor was beaten to death by a boulder, and even its Soul Ring was crushed!"

Zi Ji looked at Di Tian with deep concern. The instant that human stepped into the Land of Great Evil, she had already discovered him.

Anyone capable of reaching the deepest part of the Star Dou Forest unharmed could not possibly be an ordinary person.

Yet she could not see through this human at all, despite how young he looked.

The Bloodthirsty Spider Emperor they had sent to test him had been killed by that human without even receiving an opportunity to resist.

Among all the human experts she knew of, only those three Limit Douluo might have been capable of such strength.

But one of those three Limit Douluo was on Sea God Island, one was at Spirit Hall, and the other was in the City of Slaughter.

The human who had intruded into the Land of Great Evil was none of them.

Furthermore, judging by his appearance alone, this human was absurdly young.

When had such an unparalleled expert appeared on the Douluo Continent? What exactly had he come to the Land of Great Evil for?

P.S.: It seems many readers like Gu Yuena. I've only read the first Douluo novel, honestly, and I forced this part of the plot in myself. Don't blame me if it isn't written well—I don't know anything about characters outside of the first Douluo novel.

After the protagonist takes Gu Yuena away, he will not return to the Land of Great Evil. After all, the plot has already deviated from what I originally planned.

I changed a lot of things because of this, and it left me completely out of sorts all day today.

Also, please vote. I'll take anything. If you don't have votes, even leaving a comment would be good.
