Soul Hall.
An organization of Evil Soul Masters.
"The hall master's ninth Soul Ring requires the Soul Ring of a Plant-type Soul Beast over 100,000 years old."
"His Martial Soul is the World Tree. Once he successfully absorbs the Myriad Demon King's Soul Ring."
"We will no longer need to hide and can face Spirit Hall head-on."
An old man dressed in black robes.
Whose features could not be seen spoke, his face shrouded in black energy.
Inside the pitch-black great hall.
Countless black-robed figures holding chains cackled.
A young man's figure appeared.
Everyone knelt:
"Welcome, young hall master Hun Ye!"
Hun Ye's face was deathly pale, demonic energy swirling around him.
Holding a Death God's Scythe, he said coldly:
"The Myriad Demon King of the Star Dou Great Forest is already in Soul Hall's bag."
"There must be no mistakes in this hunt."
"Otherwise, I will refine you into Human Pills!"
Though Hun Ye spoke in a low voice.
His words carried a terrifying sense of menace.
The expressions of all the Evil Soul Masters changed.
Once they were refined into Human Pills.
Their souls would never be reincarnated.
The old man dropped to one knee and said:
"We obey your command, young master."
The other powerful Evil Soul Masters also knelt on one knee and said in unison:
"We obey your command, young master."
"For Hall Master Hun Mietian's ninth Soul Ring."
"We would brave boiling water and raging fire without hesitation."
Hun Ye curled his lips and turned into a cloud of black mist.
He left, satisfied.
The old man's name was Hun Zhan.
His Martial Soul was the Ten Thousand Souls Banner.
It imprisoned the souls of countless commoners and infants.
Its aura was exceedingly ferocious.
Hun Zhan swept his hand.
Piercing screams rang out from the Ten Thousand Souls Banner.
The other Evil Soul Masters trembled with fear.
Hun Zhan said:
"The Myriad Demon King of the Star Dou Great Forest."
"Soul Hall will stop at nothing to obtain him."
"If anything goes wrong!"
"You can enter the Ten Thousand Souls Banner to atone!"
The Evil Soul Masters knelt on one knee and said:
"We swear to capture the Myriad Demon King, even at the cost of our lives."
"And refine him alive into a Demon Core."
"For the hall master to absorb his Soul Power."
"And become a demigod without fail!"
In the world of Evil Soul Masters.
They never followed the cultivation rules of normal Soul Masters.
To obtain Soul Rings or even increase their Soul Power.
They used only the most evil methods.
Such as refining Human Pills or Demon Cores.
While increasing their strength.
They could avoid the enormous risk of their bodies exploding.
For instance, Hun Mietian's first eight Soul Rings were all deep red.
To make his ninth Soul Ring deep red as well.
He had crippled his own Limit Douluo strength.
All so that his nine Soul Rings would be super-red.
The Myriad Demon King was the supreme choice he was determined to obtain.
Even Hun Zhan had eight black rings and one red.
The top configuration for a Limit Douluo.
And Young Master Hun Ye also had the Limit Douluo configuration of nine rings, eight black and one red.
Why were they so powerful?
Because they had sacrificed countless innocent commoners and infants.
They were an entrenched dark force on the continent.
In Soul Hall's main hall.
Hun Ye knelt respectfully and said:
"Hun Zhan has accepted the order."
"He will soon depart for the Star Dou Great Forest."
"Judging by our current intelligence."
"No other faction is competing with us."
"And the Myriad Demon King is no low-level Soul Beast."
"So who would dare compete with Soul Hall?"
Upon the throne.
A hoarse voice emerged from a mass of black mist, neither human nor ghost:
"That old fellow Hun Zhan is powerful."
"No faction should dare compete with him."
"I am quite at ease."
As he spoke.
Commoners and infants were locked in cages around the great hall.
Suddenly.
Hun Mietian's black mist began to tremble.
He let out piercing screams.
Pairs of demon king hands reached into the bodies of all the commoners and infants.
Turning their souls into blood-red threads that poured into Hun Mietian's body.
Hun Ye watched, utterly entranced.
What a wonderful thing absorbing souls was.
Soon.
Hun Mietian stopped screaming.
The surrounding commoners and infants stopped breathing.
All were reduced to withered bones and desiccated corpses.
To them.
It was as though nothing had happened.
Hun Mietian exhaled a breath of evil energy and said:
"I still need a village's worth of commoners and infants."
"Are there any villages in the Heaven Dou Empire that have produced exceptionally gifted children for me to choose from?"
Hun Ye immediately reported Holy Soul Village:
"Holy Soul Village near Nuoding City happens to have produced a child with innate full Soul Power."
"That village would be very suitable for you to absorb as blood sustenance, Father."
"Innate full Soul Power?"
"This village is rather interesting."
Hun Mietian swept his hand.
Several black-robed figures resembling death gods cleared out the cages.
Hun Ye then gave an order:
"Follow me to Holy Soul Village at once."
"To obtain fresh power from blood sustenance for the hall master."
A group of black-robed figures knelt on one knee and said:
"We would brave boiling water and raging fire for the hall master without hesitation."
They all revealed their Death God's Scythes.
Cackles escaped their mouths.
They did not seem human at all.
In Holy Soul Village.
Old Jack had shed his previous elderly air.
At this moment, he seemed more like a powerful Soul Master.
Faintly uneasy, he said:
"Disaster seems about to befall Holy Soul Village."
"Even a Limit Douluo like me feels uneasy."
"Which faction has set its sights on this place?"
Old Jack swept his hand.
Nine Soul Rings, two purple, six black, and one red.
Slowly rose from beneath his feet.
At the same time, a magnificent scepter Martial Soul.
Appeared in Old Jack's hand.
"I have hidden here and watched over Little San for six years."
"He should already have embarked on the script ordained by destiny."
"I have grown attached to this village, too."
"I will never allow any faction to destroy this place!"
Old Jack teleported.
And stood guard at the entrance to Holy Soul Village.
All the villagers gaped:
"Is that really our village chief?"
"Are those nine Soul Rings real?"
"The village chief's back is actually straight!"
Old Jack no longer cared whether he concealed his strength.
Tang San had gone, and Tang Hao had left as well.
His mission here was complete.
"Let me protect this village for once!"
Old Jack's scepter Martial Soul was magnificent.
The aura of his nine Soul Rings was oppressive.
His lone figure hovered in the air.
The villagers knew something was terribly wrong.
Along the way.
Hun Zhan hurried toward the Star Dou Great Forest with numerous Titled Douluos.
Hun Zhan said:
"We must obtain the Myriad Demon King."
"As long as the hall master becomes an Evil God!"
"We will no longer need to hide."
Ambition showed in the eyes of several Titled Douluos:
"As long as the hall master becomes an Evil God."
"We can establish the Evil Soul Empire."
"Not only can commoners' infants become blood food."
"The prodigies of those major powers can too."
"Refining them can absolutely make us demigods!"
Without realizing it,
Hun Zhan and the others began cackling.
In the Star Dou Great Forest.
In the core forbidden zone of the plant-type soul beasts.
The Myriad Demon King and a group of Demon-Eyed Trees felt vaguely uneasy:
"What sort of aura is heading this way?"
"Are human soul masters all this arrogant now?"
"They dare set their sights on us?"
A ninety-thousand-year-old Demon-Eyed Tree scoffed:
"These humans are utterly conceited."
"We're soul beasts that live in groups."
"Even several Titled Douluos"
"couldn't dream of killing our kin."
The Myriad Demon King said coldly:
"If they dare come, I'll give them a taste of what an illusion realm is."
The other Demon-Eyed Trees looked confident.
They all straightened up...
Soon.
Hun Zhan and several Titled Douluos descended upon the Star Dou Great Forest.
Hun Zhan said, "Listen closely!"
"Our target is the Myriad Demon King."
"Whether you use poison or unleash fear,"
"as long as you hold the other Demon-Eyed Trees in place or lure them away,"
"I will capture the Myriad Demon King, no matter what."
They then cackled.
Hun Zhan was very satisfied.
They charged headlong into the core forbidden zone.
In the northeastern sky.
Several Limit Douluos traced magnificent arcs through the air.
At their head was a being whose aura resembled a god's.
Who else could they be but Su Chen and his companions?
Bibi Dong said:
"I sense the aura of fallen soul masters!"
Dugu Bo and Situ Aoyue also drew deep breaths and said:
"What a thick aura of corruption."
"Her Holiness the Pope is right!"
Seeking to atone for his sins, Wu Tantu said:
"I'm willing to lead the charge."
"And capture the fallen soul masters."
Su Chen unfurled his divine domain.
In an instant.
His brow furrowed...
