Gu Yuena watched Evil Emperor's true form.
"It is not in the Star Dou Great Forest."
Di Tian asked, "Where do you think it is hiding, my lord?"
Gu Yuena looked into the depths of the Heavenly Screen.
"Douluo Continent may not be the only land beneath our feet."
The scene on the Heavenly Screen soon changed.
A continent never before seen by the world appeared in the sky.
Vast steel cities stood across the land.
Compared to the two great empires, Soul Tools there had developed to an extremely advanced level.
At the center of the continent, a vast forest was shrouded in purple-black mist.
Countless Evil Eye Soul Beasts lived within it.
Golden words appeared line by line.
[Evil Eye Tyrant Ruler, also known as Evil Emperor.] [Its true form belongs to the Evil Eye Clan.] [Its cultivation exceeds Eighty Thousand Years of Cultivation.] [It resides in the Evil Demon Forest.] [It possesses an ultimate spiritual attribute and powerful spatial abilities.] [The strongest Soul Beast on the Sun Moon Continent.] [Revered as a totem by the Sun Moon Empire.]
Above the Heavenly Screen.
The scenery of the Evil Demon Forest gradually became clear.
Enormous Evil Eyes floated amid the purple-black mist.
They had no limbs, only massive eyeballs and varying numbers of tentacles.
Evil Emperor was located at the deepest part of the forest.
Its true form had a diameter exceeding three hundred meters. Once its tentacles spread out, they nearly covered the entire sky.
Its dark red single eye slowly rotated.
An invisible spiritual pressure swept through the Evil Demon Forest. Countless Soul Beasts lay prostrate on the ground, not daring to raise their heads.
Across the continent, comments flew past one after another.
[Rogue Soul Emperor: An eight-hundred-thousand-year Soul Beast—how terrifying!] [Elephant Armor Sect Master Huyan Zhen: The Sun Moon Empire actually revered a Soul Beast as a totem?] [Star Luo Empire Duke of Netherworld: Since Evil Emperor is the Sun Moon Empire's totem, there must be an extremely deep connection between them.] [Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect Master Yu Yuanzhen: Eight Hundred Thousand Years of Cultivation—its ninth place on the Supreme Ranking is well deserved.] [Heaven Dou Empire Prince Xue Xing: There is another Sun Moon Continent beyond Douluo Continent?]
Heaven Dou Palace.
Xue Ye sat upon the throne.
A Sea Area Map had already been spread across the desk before him.
Several ministers stood around it, their expressions grave.
After searching for a long time, they still could not find the Sun Moon Continent's location on the map.
Prince Xue Xing pointed toward the western sea.
"Your Majesty, the Sun Moon Continent may lie beyond these waters."
"We have never discovered them, and they likely have not discovered Douluo Continent either."
Xue Ye shook his head.
"Judging by the Heavenly Screen's images, the Sun Moon Empire's Soul Tools far surpass those of the two great empires."
"They may not lack the ability to explore distant seas."
A minister stepped forward and said, "If the two continents encounter one another in the future, the Sun Moon Empire will surely become an enemy of the empire."
Xue Ye gazed at the steel cities in the scene.
"Send people to compile every record of ocean voyages."
"Everything concerning the Sun Moon Empire must also be recorded."
"The empire cannot know nothing about its future enemy."
The ministers bowed and accepted the order.
Star Luo Palace.
The Xing Luo Emperor likewise issued an order to investigate overseas.
The Star Luo Empire revered strength.
Faced with an empire whose Soul Tools were far more advanced than theirs, he would not indulge in wishful thinking.
What was more, the Sun Moon Empire had an existence like Evil Emperor within its borders.
If an eight-hundred-thousand-year Soul Beast joined an imperial war, ordinary armies would have no way to resist it.
The Xing Luo Emperor looked toward the assembled ministers.
"The relationship between the Sun Moon Empire and Evil Emperor must be investigated thoroughly."
"Since it is revered as a totem, it may be the Sun Moon Empire's most powerful trump card."
"Yes."
Spirit City.
Bibi Dong stopped before Papal Hall.
The territory of the Sun Moon Continent was reflected in her violet eyes.
Unifying Douluo Continent was merely the first step of her plan.
Since another continent existed in this world, she naturally would not turn a blind eye to it.
Bibi Dong raised the Rakshasa Sword.
Dark purple divine power slowly flowed along the blade.
"Sun Moon Empire."
"Once the Spirit Hall Empire is established, that place will become this Pope's target as well."
Golden Crocodile Douluo glanced at her but did not speak in opposition.
Bibi Dong had now entered Level 99 and obtained the Rakshasa Sword.
Once she completed the Rakshasa God Trial, no matter how powerful the Sun Moon Empire was, it would be unable to stop a god.
Bibi Dong looked at Evil Emperor again.
"This Pope would like to see what gives this Soul Beast the right to rank above me."
Star Dou Great Forest.
Bear Lord raised his head and looked at Evil Emperor's enormous true form.
He had always taken pride in his physical strength.
Yet when facing Evil Emperor, with its Eight Hundred Thousand Years of Cultivation, even he put away his contempt.
"Other than Lord Di Tian and our lord, who else on the continent can defeat it?"
Myriad Demon King shook his head.
"Eight Hundred Thousand Years of Cultivation, and it even possesses an ultimate spiritual attribute."
"If I were struck head-on by its Spiritual Power, I might not survive."
Bi Ji looked toward Di Tian.
"How does it compare to Di Tian?"
Di Tian stood with his hands behind his back, his golden eyes never leaving the Heavenly Screen.
"Very strong."
"But it is not my opponent yet."
Bear Lord and Myriad Demon King immediately turned to Di Tian.
They understood the implication behind those words.
Di Tian had met Evil Emperor.
Above the Lake of Life.
Gu Yuena stood barefoot atop the water.
Her silver dress clung to her slender waist, its hem falling along her long legs.
Her fair jade feet stepped across the lake's surface, sending ripples spreading outward.
She did not ask about Di Tian's past with Evil Emperor.
Gu Yuena cared more about the ranking itself.
Evil Emperor, with Eight Hundred Thousand Years of Cultivation, could only rank ninth.
Who would the eight ahead of it be?
Golden words continued to emerge on the Heavenly Screen.
[The Evil Eye Clan is born with spiritual attributes.] [Evil Emperor possesses an ultimate spiritual attribute.] [Its Spiritual Power is sufficient to cover vast territories.] [Beneath spiritual detection, nothing can hide.] [Those whose Spiritual Power is weaker than Evil Emperor's cannot resist its spiritual control.]
A layer of purple-black radiance spread from Evil Emperor's single eye.
Within the Heavenly Screen's scene, countless Soul Beasts stopped moving at once.
The light vanished from their eyes.
Even several Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts could not break free from that spiritual power.
[Evil Emperor can condense a Mental Domain.] [Within the domain's range, enemies' senses, judgment, and movements will all be disrupted.] [The Mental Illusion Realm can cause living beings to sink into a false world.] [If they cannot break the illusion, their consciousness will be completely erased by Evil Emperor.]
A great many Soul Masters felt their scalps go numb.
They were accustomed to direct clashes between assault-type Soul Masters.
But the abilities Evil Emperor displayed were far more sinister than blades and swords.
[Rogue Soul Emperor: No wonder its true form is such a huge eyeball. It turns out to be a spiritual-attribute Soul Beast.] [Heaven Dou Empire Soul Master: If it looks at you once, you probably would not even know how you died.] [Star Luo Empire Soul Master: Spiritual attributes are already rare. An eight-hundred-thousand-year spiritual-attribute Soul Beast is completely unheard of.] [Elephant Armor Sect Master Huyan Zhen: I wonder how strong it is in direct combat?]
Sun Moon Continent.
Evil Demon Forest.
Evil Emperor watched the comments streak across the sky, and its enormous single eye abruptly contracted.
"A huge eyeball?"
"I am the ruler of the Evil Eye Clan!"
"Who exactly dares to look down on me?"
Its Spiritual Power swept toward the outskirts of the forest.
Large numbers of Sun Moon Empire Soul Masters immediately fell to their knees.
No one dared provoke Evil Emperor at this moment.
Evil Emperor withdrew its Spiritual Power and continued watching the Heavenly Screen.
As long as the later scenes displayed its true strength, all living beings on the continent would naturally understand the terror of an eight-hundred-thousand-year Soul Beast.
