Long Xiaoyao: You called me an Evil Soul Master, but now that I really am one, you're unhappy!

Inside the West Mountain Tunnel,

Dark Bell Na Nali floated in midair, swinging her lower legs as she lightly propped up her chin and said with a smile:

"Tsk, tsk. The War God Temple's eighteenth War God, a twenty-nine-year-old Super Douluo. You really do have a fiery temper."

Na Nali changed tack. "But our Holy Spirit Cult likes geniuses with fiery tempers best. Only by destroying the most beautiful things can we find the greatest pleasure."

As she spoke,

A little bell kept swaying in Na Nali's hand, its sound waves spreading to envelop the entire West Mountain Tunnel.

The cars entering the tunnel immediately swerved wildly. The people inside screamed, clutching their heads in pain, triggering a chain-reaction crash in an instant!

The Federation's public security troops quickly noticed the anomaly through their surveillance feeds, but the footage instantly went black, leaving them unable to see anything.

Outside the tunnel, a long line of traffic was completely jammed, and no cars emerged from its exit. The entire tunnel had become an isolated space of darkness.

Long Xiaoyao's face tightened. He used all his Soul Power to protect himself, looked at the exploding vehicles around him, and gritted his teeth.

"Are you Dark Heavenly Kings of the Holy Spirit Cult really this despicable? Ambushing me is one thing, but you're even attacking ordinary people?!"

Na Nali sneered. "You should worry about yourself first, brat."

With that, the sound waves intensified violently. Everyone inside the tunnel except Long Xiaoyao immediately roared in agony, their eyes bulging before their heads exploded into bloody pulp!

"Bastards!"

Long Xiaoyao panted heavily. Na Nali's bell Martial Soul was a powerful spiritual-type tool Martial Soul, with exceptionally strong spiritual attacks.

In just this brief interval, the Soul Power protecting Long Xiaoyao had plummeted by twenty percent.

Beside her, Leng Yulai stepped forward in her black robe.

"You have two choices. One, come with us now. Two, I'll cripple you and take you away."

"Heh. I choose three. I'll kill you both!"

Long Xiaoyao roared in fury. His Three-Word Battle Armor flew out of his Storage Soul Tool and equipped itself completely!

This was his Three-Word Battle Armor: Black Dragon Heaven!

His earlier fight with Zhuo Shi had been a friendly match, so neither side had worn Battle Armor.

But things were different now.

Long Xiaoyao did not dare let his guard down in the slightest. Two Dark Heavenly Kings were attacking him together; the slightest misstep would mean dying here!

"Darkness Domain!"

Long Xiaoyao's Soul Power spread, and the entire West Mountain Tunnel immediately became truly pitch-black.

His figure vanished within the domain, which could block perception and spiritual power.

Long Xiaoyao was both shocked and furious. He had never imagined that Cai Yue'er would collude with the Holy Spirit Cult to come after him.

And she had gotten so many innocent people killed!

If he made it out of here alive today, he would tear Cai Yue'er into ten thousand pieces, even if Yun Ming tried to stop him!

"Heh. Asking for punishment."

Leng Yulai did not panic when she saw Long Xiaoyao disappear.

A dark, shuttle-shaped crystal appeared in her hand. It was none other than the Super Divine Artifact, the Divine Shuttle of Space and Time!

The next instant, Leng Yulai's figure abruptly vanished.

Immediately afterward,

A muffled grunt from Long Xiaoyao came from above the tunnel.

Bang!

In the darkness,

Long Xiaoyao was smashed into the wall, his entire body embedded in the tunnel ceiling. His chest hurt as though it had been struck by cannon fire.

"Damn it! So fast!"

Long Xiaoyao was shaken. This Darkness Domain was his home ground. While blocking his enemies' perception, it could also absorb their power without their knowledge for his own use.

But!

This Dark Phoenix seemed completely unaffected and had located him directly.

Her speed was so great that Long Xiaoyao could not even see her clearly!

Leng Yulai now launched a vicious kick at Long Xiaoyao!

Enduring the terrible pain, Long Xiaoyao countered with a dragon claw, only for Leng Yulai's body to vanish on the spot, leaving his claw grasping empty air.

The next instant,

Leng Yulai suddenly reappeared in the same spot, seized Long Xiaoyao's right hand, and slammed her elbow down!

"Aah!!!"

Long Xiaoyao's right hand snapped! His right hand, protected by dragon scales and Battle Armor, had actually crumbled under a single blow!

He clutched his right hand, controlled his breathing, and gritted his teeth, his entire body drenched in cold sweat.

Bang!

But Na Nali suddenly rushed up, plainly giving Long Xiaoyao no time to rest. Her loli body unleashed a fierce sonic attack that blasted Long Xiaoyao's head, sending him crashing to the ground.

"Aah!!!"

Long Xiaoyao braced himself against the ground with one hand, trembling on all fours with his body half-lowered. Blood seeped from his ears as he gritted his teeth and looked up.

Leng Yulai and Na Nali hovered in midair, their expressions cold.

"Now you should understand the gap between us. Had you been born ten years earlier, we might have feared you somewhat."

"But there are no ifs. Submit quietly now and spare yourself more physical suffering."

Long Xiaoyao gasped and forced out a smile.

"So you're saying you'll let me live?"

Na Nali giggled. "Of course. We're only taking you back to the Holy Spirit Cult to train you properly. It would be a shame for a genius like you to die so easily."

Long Xiaoyao panted, narrowing his eyes. "You're taking me back to the cult to turn me into an Evil Soul Master? Did Cai Yue'er plan this with you?!"

Na Nali scoffed. "What else? How could it have been so easy for us to strike at a War God like you otherwise?"

Draped in her black robe, Leng Yulai floated above Long Xiaoyao.

"Come with us. Otherwise, I won't hold back with my next attack."

Long Xiaoyao looked up. Experts like them could still see in the darkness.

His gaze settled on the dark divine shuttle in Leng Yulai's hand.

Long Xiaoyao knew that this thing was probably an extraordinary weapon. Otherwise, neither Leng Yulai's attacks nor her speed could have allowed her to injure him instantly.

"Fine, I'll come with you, but I have one condition."

A trace of impatience crossed Leng Yulai's face. This was Mingdu. Even as Dark Heavenly Kings, she and Na Nali could not linger too long.

"Speak."

Long Xiaoyao dismissed his Battle Armor, easing the two Dark Heavenly Kings' vigilance.

"I'll return to the Holy Spirit Cult with you, but in the future, you must help me kill Cai Yue'er with my own hands!"

Hearing this, Na Nali stopped the bell in her hand and laughed loudly. "Hahahaha! Good! I love watching dogs bite dogs! Even if Dark Phoenix won't help you in the future, I will!"

A bloodthirsty obsession showed in Na Nali's eyes.

They would take Dragon Emperor Douluo Long Xiaoyao away, and later they could kill Silver Moon Douluo Cai Yue'er too.

And the Holy Spirit Cult would not lose a single person. What a wonderful thing.

Long Xiaoyao nodded. "Good. Then I'll come with you."

Leng Yulai landed, walked to the tunnel wall at the side, and pressed a mechanism.

An entrance suddenly opened inside the tunnel.

"In that case, let's go."

But Long Xiaoyao suddenly turned toward the tunnel exit, openly walking toward the Dream Memory Hammer Li Chen had left behind.

"Brat, are you trying to pull something?"

Na Nali and Leng Yulai asked with frowns.

"This is something of mine. It's useful to me. Dark Phoenix, don't tell me I can still escape from your hands?"

With his back to them, Long Xiaoyao walked straight to the tunnel entrance and picked up the little hammer on the ground.

Although Leng Yulai and Na Nali felt something was wrong, they examined the hammer with their spiritual power and found that it was merely an ordinary wooden hammer.

Naturally, they did not take any precautions.

"Hehe, is that a token of love your sweetheart left you? That Ye Zhaolu?" Na Nali was even in the mood to enjoy some gossip.

"No."

Long Xiaoyao picked up the little hammer, his expression cold. "Don't you want to turn me into an Evil Soul Master? You don't need to do it yourselves. This will do!"

There was no other way. The divine artifact in Dark Phoenix's hand was too powerful. He had no hope whatsoever of resisting it.

At this moment, Long Xiaoyao no longer cared about memories of his past life. He had to get out alive!

He had to get out alive, then kill Cai Yue'er with his own hands!

He also had to get out alive so that the War God Temple and the Northwest Legion would not bear the infamy of having nurtured an Evil Soul Master.

Besides, he had not won the beautiful Zhaolu over yet. How could he die here?!

The next instant,

Long Xiaoyao lifted the Dream Memory Hammer and struck himself hard on the head!

I'm counting on you, my past self!

Buzzz-

A crisp knocking sound rang out inside the tunnel.

But Long Xiaoyao suddenly froze, and the wooden hammer in his hand fell to the ground.

The next instant, countless memories surged madly through his mind!

Mu En, Ye Xishui, Old Ghost Zhongli, Huo Yuhao, Xu Tianran, Kong Deming...

I remember. I remember everything!

"Roar!"

A resounding dragon's roar echoed throughout the tunnel, and a dense trace of the Dark Holy Dragon's presence emerged!

"This is...!"

Dark Phoenix and Dark Bell were both utterly stunned. They could not understand why the Long Xiaoyao before them still possessed such terrifying power!

Moreover,

The feeling Long Xiaoyao gave them was completely different from before!

At this moment, it was as though a true Dark Holy Dragon stood before them. Although his power was no different from the original Long Xiaoyao's, in terms of quality, the Dark Holy Dragon's origin had abruptly grown at least several times denser and stronger!

"Long Xiaoyao, you... who exactly are you?!"

Dark Bell Na Nali asked in terror.

In the darkness,

Beneath Long Xiaoyao's youthful face, an aged face faintly appeared.

Past life and present life were one.

"What's wrong? Didn't you want to turn me into an Evil Soul Master?"

"Now that I really have become an Evil Soul Master, you're unhappy?"
