Douluo: Emerald Poison King

Chapter 455 Filial Piety and Fatherly Love
The Evil-Eyed Demon Ape remained unaware of Chen Ming's presence, continuing to skillfully massage the Evil Emperor's tentacles with various tools as he rested. It wasn't until Chen Ming jumped directly onto the Evil Emperor and displayed his soul power that the drowsy Evil Emperor and the Evil-Eyed Demon Ape clan noticed the arrival of this outsider.

Seeing Chen Ming standing on the largest tentacle of the Evil Emperor, the king of the Evil Eye Demon Ape clan, the Evil Eye Demon Ape King with only two heads and 100,000 years of cultivation, immediately let out a terrified cry, and both heads simultaneously revealed human-like fear.

"How dare a mere human Soul Master trample on the body of the Evil Emperor!"

"Disrespectful! Disrespectful! Your soul must be extracted and roasted in the flames!"

The Evil Eye Demon Ape King roared, and the single eye on each of its two heads lit up simultaneously, emitting a dark light. It activated the special talent skill inherited from the Evil Eye Clan to its maximum, attempting to extract Chen Ming's soul in one fell swoop.

Faced with this move, Chen Ming simply raised his arm and made a grasping gesture in the air. Immediately, the Evil Eye Demon Ape King felt his body become lighter and the distance between him and the human was shortened.

As a 100,000-year-old soul beast that inherited the bloodlines of two top-tier spiritual soul beasts, the Cyclops and the Evil Eye, the Evil Eye Demon Ape King immediately realized that someone had directly used the link formed by its innate ability to pull its soul out of its body, and so it cried out to the Evil Emperor for help in terror.

Looking at the struggling Evil-Eyed Demon Ape King, the Evil Emperor subconsciously considered whether he should just devour the soul of this shameful fellow. However, after thinking about the monkey's massage techniques, the Evil Emperor decided to give this shameful fellow a chance.

With a casual wave of its tentacle, Chen Ming's powerful mental energy instantly severed the link between him and the Evil Eye Demon Ape King, then slapped the Evil Eye Demon Ape King's soul back into his body.

The Evil Emperor, who had been basking in the sun on a rock (small hill), slowly floated up. He casually rolled the massage therapists into a ball and tossed them into a corner of the Demon Forest. Then, the Evil Emperor no longer concealed his powerful aura and spiritual energy. Under the influence of malice, his powerful spiritual energy coalesced into an invisible blade, recklessly attacking Chen Ming.

Chen Ming jumped off the Evil Emperor's tentacles and flew in mid-air. He casually summoned his Poison God Martial Soul, and seven soul rings—four black and three red—appeared around him. His aura as a Quasi-Soul Douluo was fully revealed, and his god-level spiritual power emanated, resisting the Evil Emperor's spiritual attack while giving him a small counterattack.

Normally, the Evil Emperor wouldn't even bother to glance at a human at the near-Soul Douluo level; he could simply pull out their soul and devour it. But looking at the unreasonable soul rings and sensing the spiritual power that was higher than his own and the faint divine aura, the Evil Emperor immediately realized that he might be doomed from today onwards.

Although he was known for his bad temper, when looking at Chen Ming, the Evil Emperor's huge eyes, which were 300 meters in diameter, were full of a kind aura. He did not show any desire to attack. Even the ominous aura that originally emanated from his body was actively restrained. He looked like a harmless giant tentacle monster.

"Humans, what business do you have in invading my Demon Forest? For the past few hundred years, I have not had any dealings with the humans of your Sun and Moon Continent."

The Evil Emperor waved his tentacles, making a wary sound.

"Alright, stop testing me. We're all playing mind games, so stop with the useless wordplay. I'm not from the Sun Moon Continent, I'm from the Douluo Continent. The one with the Star Dou Great Forest and that Golden-Eyed Black Dragon King Di Tian."

“I think you can tell why I’m here. I’m level 80 and I’m missing my eighth spirit ring. I think your attributes and age are quite to my liking, so I came to find you, intending to have you sacrifice yourself for me.” “Human, you’re too arrogant!”

Hearing these undisguised words, the Evil Emperor felt a simultaneous pain in his head and cheek, as if he had been utterly humiliated. He concentrated his soul power on his tentacles, activated his special mental attributes, and unleashed beams of almost imperceptible transparent light toward Chen Ming.

Chen Ming casually formed a hand seal in front of his chest, and a golden light transformed into an invisible armor that covered his body, instantly neutralizing the Evil Emperor's attack. Neither the soul power nor the mental damage had any effect on Chen Ming.

"To say something you don't have the ability to do is to be arrogant; to say something you have the ability to do is to have the capital to back it up."

Chen Ming looked the Evil Emperor up and down.

"Let me make this clear: I'm not leaving empty-handed. I'm determined to have your eighth spirit ring. The only difference is whether you sacrifice yourself to me or I kill you and absorb your spirit ring."

"I think you're mentally sound enough to see that I'm not a normal quasi-Soul Douluo. Let me tell you the truth, I'm a demigod with a divine position, and I'm currently preparing for ascension. Except for my soul power, which isn't at the god level, everything else is god-level. Before you try to fight me, think twice about your strength."

"You're too arrogant!" The Evil Emperor waved his tentacles in a strong protest, but the terror in his eyes was completely undisguised.

He had no idea that he was just lying on a rock sunbathing and enjoying a massage when he inexplicably ran into such a jinx.
Although he couldn't be completely sure whether the human in front of him was a so-called demigod with a divine position, the Evil Emperor was certain that the other party's spiritual power had indeed entered the realm of gods, and judging from the several blood-red soul rings with golden threads beside him, the other party was definitely an expert in killing ferocious beasts.

Even if the opponent isn't a true demigod, with this basic setup, their strength is definitely not below mine.

The Evil Emperor had no idea what evil spirit he had offended to attract this evil star.
If you're so strong, why don't you go find that Golden-Eyed Black Dragon King, Di Tian, ​​to be your spirit ring? Wouldn't he be a better spirit ring than my Evil-Eyed Tyrant Overlord?

"If you really want the ferocious beast soul ring, I, the Evil Emperor, am not to be trifled with!" The Evil Emperor threatened through gritted teeth.

"I am not the only ferocious beast in my Demon Forest. My eldest son has a cultivation of 390,000 years. If you refuse to leave today, then you can go find my eldest son!"

"Otherwise, I, the Evil Emperor, will self-destruct even if it means my death, so that you won't absorb my soul rings and soul bones!"
