Critical Strike on the Evil Eye

God Realm

Poseidon had just concluded a God Realm meeting and left, his mind heavy with worry as he hurried back to his Sea God's Hall.

Just moments ago, he discovered that a strand of his Divine Sense left on the Douluo Continent had been shattered.

That strand of Divine Sense hadn't even had the chance to transmit any information back to him.

That Divine Sense was intended to monitor the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King; could there have been some unusual movement from that direction?

Poseidon activated his Divine Vision to inspect the location of the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King.

He discovered that the area where the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King resided had undergone a massive battle, the seabed itself deformed by the conflict.

Yet, the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King was swimming through the ocean, completely unscathed.

Could my Divine Sense have been killed by the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King?

No, that was impossible. Even at its weakest, his Divine Sense possessed the strength of a Level-100 God. Furthermore, even if the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King had the power to kill it, it would have been impossible for it to fail to transmit any information at all.

Still feeling uneasy, Poseidon began to calculate the possibilities.

However, all Poseidon could see was a dense fog.

Inside the Slaughter City, Bibi Dong completed the trials of the Hell Slaughter Arena and walked the Road to Hell, only to enter the Rakshasa God's Secret Realm and receive the inheritance of the Rakshasa God.

The Rakshasa God also descended at the opportune moment to issue the first trial.

Rakshasa God's Trial: Devour a Soul Master with an Angel Martial Soul.

Mission Reward: 10% affinity with the Rakshasa God.

Seeing this, Bibi Dong sneered:

"Devour a Soul Master with an Angel Martial Soul? It suits my intentions perfectly!"

The Rakshasa God let out a cackling, eerie laugh: "Bibi Dong, if you wish to increase the progress of your God Trial, I recommend you devour Qian Renxue."

"Qian Renxue, that bastard child?"

"If nothing goes wrong, her Martial Soul should awaken very soon."

"Are you so certain that her Martial Soul will be a Six-Winged Angel?" Bibi Dong asked.

The Rakshasa God laughed wickedly: "On the Douluo Continent, when a Martial Soul awakens, it takes the higher quality Martial Soul from either parent. The Six-Winged Angel is, at the very least, a God-Level Martial Soul. What do your two Martial Souls have to compare with a Six-Winged Angel?"

A flicker of resentment flashed through Bibi Dong's eyes.

"So, have you chosen your target?"

"I have decided. Qian Xunji!" Bibi Dong said with hatred.

Regarding her hatred for the Angel Clan, she wanted to kill Qian Xunji, Qian Daoliu, and Qian Xunyi, but of the three, Bibi Dong hated Qian Xunji the most, and he was also the easiest to kill.

As for that bastard child Qian Renxue...

Perhaps it was a remnant of maternal instinct that prevented Bibi Dong from delivering a lethal blow, but that was all.

"Very well, then I shall await your good news. The Rakshasa God's Secret Realm will open within Spirit Hall once you complete the God Trial." The Rakshasa God's voice vanished after speaking.

Sun-Moon Continent, Evil Demon Forest

A Pokémon battle was currently underway.

The wild Evil Eye Tyrant Ruler jumped out.

Qian Xunyi: I choose you, Snow Empress, Ice Empress, Tian Meng, Sea Princess!

The four great Soul Beasts swarmed forward, surrounding the Evil Eye Tyrant Ruler.

The Evil Eye Tyrant Ruler looked completely bewildered.

Qian Xunyi stood to the side watching the battle, occasionally stepping in to provide micro-management!

"Tian Meng, use Mental Detection Sharing."

"Sea Princess, provide support with Song of the Deep Sea."

"Snow Empress, activate your domain."

"Ice Empress, use Ice Empress's Pincers."

It was a scene straight out of a Pokémon Master's playbook.

Snow Empress, Ice Empress, and the Sea Princess battled the Evil Eye Tyrant Ruler, while Tian Meng utilized his powerful mental strength to assist Snow Empress and Ice Empress in the fight.

Although Snow Empress's cultivation was not quite on par with his, the gap was small, and he could not take her down in a short time.

He could kill the weaker Ice Empress, but the fallen Ice Empress would soon appear back on the battlefield, lively and well.

The battle lasted for a long time, and the environment of the entire Evil Demon Forest had changed drastically. One side had turned into an ice field under the influence of Snow Empress and Ice Empress, while the other had become withered and barren under the influence of the Evil Eye Tyrant Ruler's Soul Power.

Although the Evil Eye Tyrant Ruler was powerful, he could not withstand the desperate fighting of the Soul Beasts like Snow Empress and Ice Empress. Several of his tentacles had already been severed by them, and even his large eyeball had been pierced by ice swords in several places, oozing with pus.

The Evil Eye Tyrant Ruler said resentfully: "You bunch of Soul Beast traitors, actually helping that damned human to hunt me—" Although he did not care about other Soul Beasts himself, that did not stop him from cursing this group of Soul Beasts for helping a human hunt him down.

"How bold, Evil Emperor. To become a Soul Ring and Soul Bone for Brother Xunyi is your honor. If you know what's good for you, hand them over willingly to avoid a beating," Tian Meng stood before Qian Xunyi and scolded the Evil Eye.

The Evil Emperor parried the other Soul Beasts with his tentacles while diverting his focus toward the human, searching for an opening.

In the heat of battle, he noticed that although he had clearly killed the Snow Empress and ambushed the Sea Princess, both Soul Beasts had revived completely unscathed and rejoined the fight. All these methods were cast by that human; he was the key.

The Evil Emperor seized an opportunity, pinning the Snow Empress with a Mental Paralysis Ray. Grabbing this fleeting chance, he unleashed his ultimate move—Light of Spacetime—sweeping it toward Qian Xunyi.

"Die, you damned human!"

"Oh? I originally intended for my Pokémon to just have some fun with you, but you dare to break the rules and attack the Trainer." Qian Xunyi sneered, and behind him, a purple-gold Angel phantom emerged, large enough to rival the Evil Emperor.

Nine Soul Rings—yellow, purple, purple, black, black, black, black, red, and red—circled Qian Xunyi's body.

Fourth Soul Skill, Angel Judgment!

Six purple-gold rays condensed within the Angel's six wings, gathering in the center to form a single purple-gold beam that collided head-on with the Light of Spacetime.

There was no technique involved, only a suppression of raw power; the Light of Spacetime was instantly pushed back and shattered.

The purple-gold light of judgment pierced through the Evil Eye.

No... this is not a Martial Soul... This was the Evil Emperor's final thought.

A brilliant golden Soul Ring emerged.

Qian Xunyi waved his hand, ordering his Pokémon to stand down, then drew the Evil Emperor's Soul Ring over to absorb it.

About half an hour passed, and the Evil Emperor's resentment was easily suppressed by Qian Xunyi, the Soul Ring absorbed in the process.

The Soul Skill granted by the Seventh Soul Ring was True Dragon Dharma Body, unlocking the Nine Secret Techniques: the Douluo version of the Zu Character Secret.

The effect of the Zu Character Secret: using one's own Soul Power and the laws of heaven and earth to condense ancient Daoist runes. One can combine different ancient characters at will; each character is a divine ability, and combined, they form a momentum that suppresses all laws.

Single character effects (basic): "Suppress" restricts the flow of enemy Soul Power, suppresses the power of Soul Skills, slows movement; "Seal" locks Martial Souls and Soul Bone abilities, preventing the release of Soul Skills for a short time; "Defend" condenses runes into a shield to block physical and Soul Power attacks, granting immunity to some law-based damage; "Kill" turns runes into blades that cut through the source of Soul Power, ignoring conventional defenses; "Speed" causes one's own speed to skyrocket, bolstered by runes to walk upon the air.

Although the single-character effects of the Zu Character Secret overlap with other secret techniques, they are inferior to the other Nine Secret Techniques. For instance, the speed boost from the "Speed" character is not as great as the Xing Character Secret. Its true terror lies in the ability to combine characters at will to form arrays, talismans, and killing blows. It can set ten thousand arrays, break ten thousand laws, and suppress Mydei, representing the ultimate manifestation of array paths and runes.

In addition to the Seventh Soul Ring, Qian Xunyi's Soul Power Level also reached the 98th rank.
