Douluo I.
"He actually survived!"
Qian Daoliu stared at the Heavenly Screen and slowly let out a turbid breath.
He did not know whether he was relieved or simply moved.
Perhaps it was both.
Qian Daoliu was very familiar with that blue-gold figure and recognized him as the Sea God.
The Sea God was a powerful deity no weaker than the Angel God. Yet even when such a deity had acted in person, he had failed to kill Lin Yi.
Qian Daoliu grew even more interested in the images on the Heavenly Screen.
The images continued.
Yet the truly exciting part was already over.
After Tang San first came knocking, Lin Yi had learned his lesson and stopped strutting about openly.
Besides, he had already accumulated a sufficient foundation.
What followed was one cultivation session after another.
Lin Yi was recovering everything he had lost through his resurrection.
His Soul Power, blood and Qi, and even his spiritual power had all returned to their pre-death peak when he revived. The price was that everything he had accumulated was wiped clean!
The power he had spent more than a decade amassing for this resurrection had been completely exhausted.
His resurrection relied on accumulation.
He chose a resurrection site in advance and continuously accumulated the foundation needed to revive.
Of course, he could also revive at a random location without any set rules, but that was far too dangerous.
Moreover, he could not accumulate a foundation in advance that way, so there was no way for him to return to his peak quickly after reviving.
With that one resurrection having depleted his entire foundation, Lin Yi began lying low.
He focused on cultivation, making up for the foundation he had lost.
But in the end, a person could not stay hidden forever.
If he kept lying low until no one could discover his existence, there would be a limit to how much he could grow.
Lin Yi could not let lying low delay him from obtaining his Eighth Soul Ring and Ninth Soul Ring.
And so the images on the Heavenly Screen slowly unfolded.
It was an earth-shattering battle.
For his Eighth Soul Ring, Lin Yi chose to hunt the Evil Emperor!
Yes, hunt the Evil Emperor!
It was madness, but it was also the choice Lin Yi had made after struggling with it countless times.
Lin Yi had made every preparation.
Deep in the Evil Demon Forest, a figure in an azure robe stood in midair.
Heaven and earth seemed to be turning upside down.
The surrounding space twisted.
It was as though they had already left the Douluo Continent.
A gigantic eyeball faced the man in the azure robe, waving eighty-one enormous tentacles.
The Evil Emperor was furious at being challenged by a Seven-Ring Soul Sage!
Yet the presence of the Seven-Ring Soul Sage facing him also made the Evil Emperor wary.
Having a Soul Core already allowed him to enjoy some of the fundamental power of a Titled Douluo ahead of time.
With the terrifying foundation granted by Lin Yi's Soul Rings, all of which were Hundred Thousand Year Soul Rings, he had the strength to contend with a Super Douluo.
Yet that gave him no advantage against the Evil Emperor.
On the contrary, anyone who understood the Evil Emperor's strength would know this was courting death.
Yet Lin Yi had made that choice all the same.
He could have waited until he needed his Ninth Soul Ring to hunt the Evil Emperor, but that would have been too late.
Lin Yi had only one Martial Soul, and if he wanted to strengthen his foundation with Soul Rings, he had room for only nine.
Mental Shock Blast!
A terrifying spiritual fluctuation radiated from the bizarre eyeball.
Everything around them seemed to twist.
The entire space trembled.
Terrifying spiritual power descended upon the space.
Rumble!
Even the image on the Heavenly Screen blurred.
It was not that the Heavenly Screen had been affected; the battle itself looked like that.
Qian Daoliu's expression grew grave.
"Is there really such a terrifying Soul Beast on the Douluo Continent?"
Qian Daoliu was shocked by the Evil Emperor's existence.
A look of longing flashed in Bibi Dong's eyes.
There was actually such a Soul Beast on the continent.
Bibi Dong had already reached the stage of hunting Soul Beasts in a frenzy. The older the Soul Beast she hunted, the better for her.
Although her body could not yet withstand filling all her remaining slots with Soul Rings on the Evil Emperor's level,
she had to keep an eye out for every Soul Ring on that level.
After all, she still had time.
She could continue to build up her foundation.
The image on the Heavenly Screen cleared once more.
The space resembling a chessboard still existed, though it had been shattered into pieces.
Within that space, countless threads were scattered like stars, interweaving with one another.
The Mental Shock Blast just now had been far too terrifying, completely beyond what Lin Yi could withstand.
So Lin Yi had died.
But he had come back to life.
Only, what had died was his Sea of Consciousness, and what had revived was also his Sea of Consciousness.
The Evil Emperor's spiritual cultivation had long since reached the point where he could affect the outside world with his spiritual power. Though the terrifying Mental Shock Blast was a Mental Attribute attack, it was powerful enough to destroy all matter.
So Lin Yi's body should have died as well.
The reason it was said that only Lin Yi's Sea of Consciousness had died was that he had not brought his physical body with him in the first place.
He had incorporated the power connected to his physical body into the foundation for his resurrection.
The foundation for his spiritual power's resurrection had also finished recharging.
All his years of cautious cultivation had been in preparation for today's hunt.
After the Mental Shock Blast, Lin Yi revived.
Upon reviving, he drew upon the power of heaven and earth.
At the same time, the chessboard-like space began to mend.
The Evil Emperor remained unmoved.
He simply launched his second attack.
Mental Ray!
His terrifying spiritual power was compressed. Even though this Soul Skill was not a trump card, in the Evil Emperor's hands, it possessed the might to destroy heaven and earth.
The Evil Emperor was no fool. Having seen Lin Yi revive, he could not simply use his trump card to kill him.
After all, Lin Yi was hardly an enemy he needed to use his ultimate move to kill.
Faced with that terrifying Mental Ray, countless Soul Masters in the Soul Master World of Douluo I felt their hair stand on end.
This was a Mental Attribute Soul Skill. Even through the images, the Soul Masters watching this earth-shattering battle seemed able to feel its oppressive pressure!
Qian Daoliu's face darkened.
He could not withstand that attack.
A purely Mental Attribute Soul Skill!
This Evil Emperor had cultivated his spiritual power to an extreme.
There should be no one on the continent capable of killing him.
After all, not even a Peerless Douluo could claim to possess a particularly strong spiritual defense.
Cultivating spiritual power was simply too difficult.
Douluo Dalu III: The Legend of the Dragon King.
Yun Ming's expression was grave.
The Evil Emperor's power surpassed his imagination.
As he watched the images, he simulated the battle in his mind, deducing the limits of the Evil Emperor's power.
Although one could glimpse some of the Evil Emperor's strength in history,
historical records were bound to be inaccurate.
The Evil Emperor had died, so the records of his strength could not possibly portray him as invincible.
"Even I might not be able to withstand the Evil Emperor's spiritual attacks without some means of countering them."
Yun Ming was not talking about this Mental Ray.
Anyone could tell that the Mental Ray was only slightly stronger than a basic attack.
It was an ordinary Soul Skill.
It was nowhere near being a trump card.
Although the Heavenly Screen had shown only this Mental Ray, Yun Ming could see the whole from a single glimpse and could already imagine the Evil Emperor striking with all his strength.
The image seemed to freeze at that moment.
Lin Yi's figure was swallowed up once more.
It was like a mantis trying to stop a chariot with its arms.
A moth flying into a flame.
He had overestimated himself.
"Where does his confidence come from?"
Yun Ming murmured to himself.
Lin Yi was the protagonist shown by the Heavenly Screen.
He should not have died while hunting the Evil Emperor.
So, faced with such a disparity in strength, how could he have killed the Evil Emperor?
