Douluo: Emerald Poison King

Chapter 456 The Invitation of the Wisdom Soul Ring

"You really are a good father."

Chen Ming's lips twitched as he casually parried several sneak attacks and mental attacks from the Evil Emperor. He then approached the Evil Emperor and sent a mental message to him.

He originally thought that some things were better left unsaid and didn't need to be said openly.

Unexpectedly, the Evil Emperor, like a startled rabbit, desperately resisted with his mental energy after sensing Chen Ming's spiritual transmission. At the same time, his huge eyes lit up, and his massive mental energy briefly tore through space, teleporting him thousands of meters away.

"Evil Eye Domain! Mental Blast!"

The Evil Emperor twisted his body, emitting a hissing sound. His immense spiritual power and soul power combined to create a vast domain. Under the distortion of the powerful spiritual power, all the free soul power within the domain was controlled by the Evil Emperor, and the activity of all elements was infinitely weakened. A near-vacuum of soul power appeared around Chen Ming.

Then, his spiritual power pierced out, the intangible spiritual force transforming into tangible physical destruction, shaking the space around Chen Ming, seemingly preparing to tear him to shreds through physical means. Seeing that words were useless, Chen Ming simply abandoned his original idea and directly opened his domain to clash with the Evil Emperor.

"Elemental Realm!"

The Death and Poison Realm leans more towards group attacks, so Chen Ming chose to unleash the elemental domain he obtained from the Seven-Colored Lotus Soul Master. He used his mental power to shatter the Evil Emperor's suppression and control over the elements of heaven and earth, and mobilized various attributes between heaven and earth to tear a huge hole in the Evil Eye Domain, creating a region where elements were infinitely active.

Chen Ming combined the three attributes of fire, lightning, and destruction and activated them, forming a blazing white beam of light that, guided by his mental power, shot straight toward the Evil Emperor's large eye.

Although it is not the ultimate attribute, under Chen Ming's control, this synthesized special attribute is stronger than any ultimate attribute in terms of destructive power. It can even tear apart the body of a ferocious beast instantly and then annihilate it under impact.

Despite possessing the Thorns Aura's ability to reflect damage, after a fraction of a second of thought, the Evil Emperor preferred to risk the backlash of tearing through space with his extraordinary mental power for short-distance transmission rather than dare to use his body, imbued with the Thorns Aura, to try and touch this unprecedented attribute.

Even though he tried his best to dodge and used spatial powers to move his body, the incandescent beam of light was still too fast for him to completely avoid. Several tentacles that couldn't retract in time were severed by the beam in an instant and fell heavily to the ground.

Because of the sheer speed of the attack, the Evil Emperor didn't even feel any pain. Due to the carbonization of the wound, he didn't shed a single drop of blood. Only after the tentacle slammed onto the ground did he belatedly realize that he was suddenly missing a limb.

If it weren't for the fact that the Evil Emperor, being an Evil Eye, lacks sweat glands or similar structures, he would truly be drenched in sweat at this moment.

"Shall we continue the discussion?"

As Chen Ming spoke, he manipulated the elemental domain, casually conjuring up illusory fire dragons. The creatures formed from the extreme flames attacked the Evil Emperor without hesitation, forcing the Evil Emperor to use various methods to defend himself.

"What are you talking about? Are you saying you're going to absorb my son instead of me?" The Evil Emperor's large eyes were filled with vigilance, his tentacles flailing wildly. The Evil Eye Domain that had been covering him was withdrawn, replaced by a mental field created around his body to defend against Chen Ming's attacks. Within his body, his soul power was already operating at its limit, and his ultimate killing moves, Light of Time and Light of Destruction, were ready to be unleashed.

Centuries ago, in preparation for his approaching eighth Heavenly Tribulation, he traveled to the Douluo Continent in search of news about the so-called million-year-old soul beast, where he engaged in battle with the Beast God, Di Tian. Although he confirmed the existence of the million-year-old soul beast, he was forced to retreat due to his inferior strength compared to Di Tian.

Although his ultimate move, the Light of Time and Space, inflicted considerable damage on the Beast God Emperor Tian, ​​Emperor Tian's Dragon God Claw was equally effective against the Evil Emperor. Moreover, compared to Emperor Tian, ​​who possessed a powerful dragon physique, the Evil Emperor was significantly weaker.

Even though hundreds of years have passed and the surface injuries have healed, the last trace of the Dragon God's Claw's power is still firmly rooted in his body, allowing him to exert only about 90% of his strength at most. If he wants to use his two most powerful killing moves, there will inevitably be a huge wind-up.

For a strong opponent of the same or even higher level, this initial animation is enough to allow them to react several times over.

Even though he had taken the initiative to seek out the matter back then, and they hadn't actually fought, at this moment, the Evil Emperor couldn't help but curse Di Tian in his heart.

"Your father is really cold-hearted."

"Nonsense! Without me as his father, where would this son come from? I've sheltered him from the wind and rain for so many years, doesn't he deserve a sacrifice for me? I am the ruler of the Evil Eyes, the king among the Evil Eye tyrants, the ancestor and guardian of the Evil Eye clan. The Evil Eye clan cannot do without me!"

The Evil Emperor answered confidently, completely disregarding the fact that his other descendants could hear his voice.

"Is that so? I was originally going to invite you to participate in my path to godhood, but now it seems that since the Evil Eye Clan needs you so much, I'll have to find someone else. Anyway, it looks like your next tribulation is coming soon. After I become a god, let me watch you be struck by lightning in the God Realm."

"By the way, if you do anything that is inconsistent with your status, such as possessing the body of a descendant, I will continue to remind the Heavenly Tribulation. Although my divine position is not that of the Thunder God, my relationship with the Thunder God is still very close."

"Human. You win." Upon hearing this, the Evil Emperor's tentacles drooped limply: "Tell me about your so-called path to godhood."

"Have you ever heard of a Wisdom Soul Ring?"

As Chen Ming spoke, he sent a private chat invitation to the Evil Emperor, conveying his thoughts through a mental link. After reviewing the basic plan and performing a simple mental calculation, the Evil Emperor was surprised to find that this seemingly impossible path actually had a considerable degree of feasibility.

To dispel the last vestige of doubt in the Evil Emperor's mind, Chen Ming summoned the Ascending Dragon Sword and released the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger, which had been sleeping and absorbing power within it. After showing the Evil Emperor what kind of existence it was now, he put the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger, which he thought was about to fight, back into the sword.
