Evil Emperor vs. Di Tian!

The scene shifted.

Deep within the pitch-black forest, the Evil Emperor hovered in midair.

His enormous single eye slowly turned.

Rings of purple-black mental ripples spread outward from him.

Wherever the ripples passed, trees stopped swaying, birds fell into the foliage, and even the soul power in the air briefly stagnated.

Golden text appeared.

[Evil-Eyed Tyrant Ruler, Evil Emperor.]

[Mental attribute soul beast.]

[Possesses a powerful spiritual origin.]

[Specializes in Spiritual Detection, Mental Interference, and Mental Control.]

[Can use mental power to influence enemies' minds, alter their perceptions, and seal their souls.]

The next moment.

The Evil Emperor in the scene opened his single eye.

Purple light engulfed the entire Evil Demon Forest.

Countless Evil Eye Tyrants prostrated themselves on the ground.

They had suffered no attacks, yet their eyes gradually grew vacant, and their bodies lost the ability to move.

A ten-thousand-year Evil Eye Tyrant tried to raise its head.

Just one glance into the Evil Emperor's eye was enough to suppress its spiritual origin.

Its evil eye swiftly shut.

Its body pressed even lower against the ground.

More text appeared on the sky screen.

[The Evil Emperor possesses tremendous mental power.]

[Can control countless targets simultaneously.]

[Spiritual Detection encompasses the entire Evil Demon Forest.]

[Under Mental Control, enemies struggle to retain their own consciousness.]

Across the Douluo Continent.

Countless soul masters looked up at the sky screen.

"A mental attribute soul beast?"

"Mental attribute martial souls are already incredibly rare. Who would have thought such a being existed among soul beasts?"

"Controlling countless targets at once? Surely that's beyond an ordinary soul skill?"

"No wonder the Evil Emperor can secretly control the Sun Moon Empire."

"As long as no powerful figure can resist his mental power, the entire empire will become his puppet."

Spirit Hall.

Before the Papal Palace.

Bibi Dong looked up at the Evil Emperor on the sky screen, her gaze growing more appraising.

Mental attribute powers had always been bizarre.

Ordinary soul masters facing such attacks would not even have a chance to strike.

Once their sea of consciousness was sealed, they could not unleash their soul power, however strong it was.

"A mental attribute soul beast."

Bibi Dong spoke softly.

"If I absorb his soul ring, my mental power will surely increase enormously."

Her gaze settled on the Evil Emperor.

After obtaining the Million-Year Soul Ring, Bibi Dong had already reached rank ninety-nine.

Now, she was considering how to grow even stronger.

A soul beast like the Evil Emperor had caught her attention at just the right time.

Bibi Dong raised a hand and lightly brushed her fingertips through her long hair.

"Besides the Evil Emperor, the Star Dou Great Forest also has the Titan Giant Ape and the Sky Azure Bull Python."

"It's time those two soul beasts became my soul rings as well."

Qian Jun Douluo's brow twitched slightly.

"Your Holiness, the Golden Ranking's scene has not ended yet."

"The Evil Emperor's true strength has yet to be fully revealed. Wouldn't heading to the Star Dou Great Forest now be too risky?"

Demon Subduing Douluo also spoke. "Unknown powerful beings reside deep within the Star Dou Great Forest. Entering rashly may provoke retaliation from the Soul Beast Clan."

Bibi Dong glanced at the two of them.

She said nothing more.

The scene on the sky screen changed again.

The dark forest gradually faded.

A vast lake appeared within the Golden Ranking.

The lake churned.

Above it, dark clouds filled the sky.

An enormous black dragon loomed over the lake.

His body was long and slender, his scales gleaming with a dim light.

His spread wings blotted out a vast expanse of sky.

His draconic eyes held the majesty of the Dragon Clan.

The black dragon was none other than Di Tian.

Opposite Di Tian.

Boundless purple light gathered.

The Evil Emperor hovered in midair.

Within his enormous single eye, mental power transformed into beams of purple light that pierced the sky and shot toward Di Tian.

Di Tian opened his jaws.

Black dragon breath swept across heaven and earth.

The purple light collided with the dragon breath.

Boom!

The entire lake exploded in an instant.

Towering waves surged outward.

The surrounding mountains split apart one after another, and the dense forest was utterly destroyed by the raging power.

Di Tian beat his wings, his enormous body charging toward the Evil Emperor.

His dragon claws tore through space.

Pitch-black rifts appeared around the Evil Emperor.

The Evil Emperor did not retreat.

A purple light suddenly flared within his single eye.

Di Tian's movements paused for a split second.

The next moment, mental power transformed into countless chains that wrapped around Di Tian.

Di Tian let out a long roar.

Large swathes of his scales shattered.

Yet his body continued forward.

His black dragon claw ripped through the Mental Chains and slammed toward the Evil Emperor.

The Evil Emperor rapidly retreated.

Purple light gathered before him, forming a Mental Barrier.

The dragon claw descended.

The Mental Barrier cracked apart instantly.

The blow sent the Evil Emperor flying back hundreds of yards.

Purple-black light engulfed the entire sky.

Beneath the sky screen.

Countless soul masters and soul beasts all drew sharp breaths.

"Is this footage of the Evil Emperor fighting?"

"Just what kind of being is his opponent?"

"That's a dragon soul beast!"

"Look at the surroundings. It seems to be the Star Dou Great Forest!"

"That dragon soul beast is powerful enough to fight the Evil Emperor!"

Spirit Hall.

All the Elders fixed their gazes on Di Tian.

As Qian Daoliu watched the scene, his expression gradually grew grave.

"That area is indeed the Star Dou Great Forest."

Golden Crocodile Douluo said solemnly, "Since when has the Star Dou Great Forest had a dragon soul beast of this caliber?"

Bibi Dong's gaze, however, remained on the Evil Emperor.

As she watched the mental power he unleashed, the anticipation in her eyes intensified.

"The soul ring formed by such a powerful soul beast is bound to be extraordinary."

"As long as I hunt down the Evil Emperor, my strength will rise again."

Qian Daoliu turned his head.

"Pope, watch the rest of the Golden Ranking's scene first."

Bibi Dong did not respond.

She continued watching the sky.

The Star Dou Great Forest.

Beside the Lake of Life.

Di Tian stood upon the lake's surface, recalling the battle from years ago.

Back then, the Evil Emperor had fought him over the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm.

The two mighty soul beasts had battled deep within the Star Dou Great Forest.

Relying on his Dragon Clan bloodline and formidable body, Di Tian had gradually gained the upper hand over the Evil Emperor.

But the Evil Emperor's mental power had been exceedingly strange.

Even with the advantage, Di Tian had been unable to defeat him immediately.

Just as the two were about to continue fighting.

A faint trace of an aura had suddenly emerged from the depths of the Lake of Life.

That trace of an aura had been incredibly weak.

Yet its appearance, however brief, had plunged heaven and earth into silence.

The Evil Emperor's spiritual origin had been suppressed.

He had lingered no longer, turning and leaving at once.

Di Tian raised his head to look at Gu Yuena.

"Had you not revealed your aura back then, my lord, the Evil Emperor would not have retreated so easily."

"But even if we had kept fighting, he would have been no match for me."

Gu Yuena did not answer.

Her gaze rested on the Golden Ranking.

Within the scene.

The battle between Di Tian and the Evil Emperor had entered its final stage.

The Evil Emperor's single eye unleashed endless purple light.

High in the sky, the purple light condensed into an enormous ring of light.

Time warped around the ring.

Trees rapidly withered, only to grow anew the next moment.

The lake's waters flowed backward.

Shattered rocks returned to their original positions.

Golden text slowly appeared.

[The Evil Emperor's innate ability, Light of Time and Space.]

[Can disrupt the flow of time and space, affecting enemies' movements.]

The purple ring abruptly contracted.

The power of time and space transformed into a beam of light that shot straight toward Di Tian.
