Douluo: Emerald Poison King

Chapter 459: Eye of Heaven
A 100,000-year-old soul beast will inevitably produce a soul bone, so Chen Ming also gave extra consideration to the location of the soul bone formed from the Evil Emperor's soul core.

Under normal circumstances, the soul bone dropped by the Evil Emperor would definitely be an external soul bone in the eye area, because the Evil Eye Tyrant clan is a giant eye, and Chen Ming is preparing to make further adjustments.

Although the Evil Emperor possessed nearly 800,000 years of cultivation, he only had one soul core, failing to reach the level of a dual soul core that complemented Yin and Yang. A single soul core splitting into two soul bones for the eyes inevitably had some shortcomings.

Chen Ming's martial soul isn't like Huo Yuhao's eyes, so there's no need to attach eyes to it.

Therefore, under the control of Chen Ming and the Evil Emperor, the Evil Emperor's soul core absorbed the Evil Emperor's body and, under the influence of a large amount of life force, transformed into an indigo rhomboid crystal. It then fused into Chen Ming's brow and connected with Chen Ming's spiritual sea, becoming his third eye.

As the skull of the Goddess Medusa fused with the external soul bone of the Evil Emperor's third eye, a portion of the Evil Emperor's power also surged into the soul bone of the Goddess Medusa's skull.

Generally speaking, after absorbing a normal soul bone, the corresponding location can no longer absorb external soul bones. However, the third external soul bone formed by the Evil Emperor is the most special kind even among external soul bones, which is why he can do such an illogical thing.

Under Chen Ming's guidance, the Medusa God's head spirit bone, which originally possessed god-level quality but was only 80,000 years old, increased its age further, reaching 150,000 years. Furthermore, as Chen Ming's third eye grows, the Medusa God's head spirit bone will also grow further.

Nourished by Chen Ming's divine power and transformed by the power he gained from the Dew of Longing, the soul bone provided by the Evil Emperor was no longer just a soul bone, but had been sublimated into a special organ of near-divine quality.

If we must call it a name, then "the eye of heaven" would be more appropriate.

This soul bone mainly possesses two abilities. One is the "simple" ability to see over a very wide range, allowing one to see very far and distinguish various elements. Under the power of the "Looking Through the Autumn Water Dew," it also develops the ability of X-ray vision.

The second ability is very special. This ability allows Chen Ming to use his soul skills at any point within his perception range, rather than centered on himself.

Simply put, if he wants to look tens of miles away, a poisonous fog created by his Poison Cloud Technique will appear, and he can also detonate it with his Poison Explosion Technique. Combined with his X-ray vision ability, it should be possible to develop the ability to release soul skills inside other people's bodies in the future.

When Chen Ming opened his eyes again, an immense sense of oppression instantly swept through every corner of the Demon Forest. His third eye moved slightly, and all the members of the Evil Eye Clan felt as if their souls had been ripped from their bodies. Their ancestor's aura not only didn't perish, but instead intensified.

Before causing any further celestial phenomena, Chen Ming withdrew his divine power and aura, continuing to conceal himself with the help of the world's consciousness.

Beside him, a giant eye floated in mid-air, with eighty-one tentacles extending out, exuding an eerie aura.

That was the Evil Emperor, who, under Chen Ming's modifications, appeared in a form similar to a spirit but not quite a spirit. Although his power was significantly weaker than when he still had a physical body, the Evil Emperor seemed quite excited.

He could feel his spirit being elevated, truly breaking through the limits of the mortal realm to the realm of the gods, and the oppressive feeling that had previously been locked by the heavenly tribulation was no longer there. Now, his entire being felt as light as if it had been freed from heavy shackles.

Even without any external forces, the Evil Emperor was confident that he could become a true god within a thousand years through his own abilities. Moreover, now that the Evil Emperor had become a part of Chen Ming, he was able to access the powerful and complex divine position within Chen Ming's body.

This wave is taking off from the spot!

"My Lord is mighty!"

Looking at the reserved Chen Ming, the Evil Emperor praised him like a lackey, his eyes filled with fervent emotion. Although Chen Ming hadn't yet made him change his address, the Evil Emperor had already consciously accepted his position and abandoned those insignificant thoughts.

So what if we don't have freedom? So what if we don't have a body?
Could it be that the one who was locked by the Heavenly Tribulation back then was truly free? Does the one who is the Evil Eye really need a fragile body?
The physical body is precious, but freedom is even more valuable; yet, for the sake of becoming a god, both can be sacrificed! Although it may seem less desirable than becoming a god myself, with the protection of a gifted master who will surely hold a high position in the divine realm, the question remains: who will achieve greater things in the future?
Sensing the Evil Emperor's emotions, Chen Ming couldn't help but admire how quick-witted the Evil Emperor was. Following the Evil Emperor's guidance, they then arrived at the Evil Emperor's lair.

The Evil Eye clan also has a hierarchy. These soul beasts inherently possess spiritual attributes, and may also acquire other attributes. However, the abilities of Evil Eye soul beasts are limited; the more attributes they possess, the more mediocre they tend to be. The fewer attributes they have, and the closer they are to pure spiritual attributes, the stronger their bloodline and talent become.

After growing to the age of 100,000, the Evil Eye will be known as the Evil Eye Tyrant, becoming a powerful figure in the Evil Eye clan.

The Evil Emperor's lair is the deepest and best place in the Demon Forest, where a large number of treasures he has collected are stored. It is inhabited by the ferocious beasts of the Evil Eye Clan, as well as the Evil Eye Tyrant, who is a hundred thousand years old, and the Evil Emperor's direct blood relatives. He is here just to bask in the sun out of boredom.

Just as the Evil Emperor and Chen Ming were showing off their treasures and heading back to their lair, the Evil Emperor suddenly noticed something quite amiss outside his lair.

Sensing the energy within his lair and the barrier under attack, the Evil Emperor narrowed his translucent eyes, emanating a dangerous aura. Chen Ming, who could read the Evil Emperor's emotions, instantly understood what was happening.

Because of the recent disturbance, many soul beasts in the Demon Forest probably thought the Evil Emperor was dead. Some of the bolder Evil Eye Tyrants took this opportunity to come to the Evil Emperor's lair, intending to loot some treasures and then run away.

Chen Ming nodded to the Evil Emperor and transferred a wave of soul power. Immediately afterward, the Evil Emperor stormed into his lair and saw the rebels who were eyeing his master's treasures in front of the barrier he had set up.

"The Evil-Eyed Demon Ape King, the Purple-Winged Flying Dragon King, the Exploding Bear King, and my dearest eldest son, sixth son, and great-grandson."

"What exactly are you doing in my lair?"

Looking at the group of precious creatures in his lair, even though the Evil Emperor had transformed into a pure soul, he still felt his brain congested with blood due to anger.

Upon seeing the Evil Emperor appear in spirit form, the Evil Emperor's eldest son, the 390,000-year-old Evil Eye Tyrant Crown Prince, was stunned for a moment, and then a human-like fear appeared in his huge eyes.

After hesitating for less than a second, the Evil Eye Tyrant Prince immediately used his mental power to attack the non-Evil Eye Soul Beasts, led by the Evil Eye Demon Ape King. He then used his enormous tentacles to bind the group of creatures and brought them to the Evil Emperor.

"Father, I saw these guys trying to steal your treasure, so I came to guard it for you. I'm your eldest son, don't you trust me?"

"I believe in you as much as I believe in myself." The Evil Emperor, in his soul form, glanced at his nervous eldest son and uttered these meaningful words.

Under the watchful gaze of the Evil Eye Tyrant Prince, the Evil Emperor, in his soul form, seemed to have given up on pursuing his own responsibility. After finishing off the Evil Eye Demon Ape King and other soul beasts, he used a mental shock to knock them down, then glanced at the soul beasts present and let out an impatient sound.

"Alright, forget about your little schemes and just leave. Don't make me angry at a time like this."

Under the threat of the Evil Emperor, the Evil Eye Tyrant Prince led his gang and quickly left the cave, while the Evil Emperor began to open the barrier he had set up.

However, the moment he reached the cave, the Evil Eye Tyrant Prince's eyes immediately shone with a light called ambition. His huge body turned around instantly, and a deadly spiritual force rushed towards the Evil Emperor in his soul form.
