Douluo: Dragon King Huo Yuhao Lives Ten Thousand Years Later

Chapter 229 Evil Eye Tyrant: For my future, Holy Spirit Cult, I have no choice but to betray you (4,000 words)
Although ten thousand years have passed, the events of that time still seem like yesterday to the Evil Eye Tyrant.

A being known as Lingbing Douluo launched a surprise attack on the Holy Spirit Cult headquarters located in the Demon Forest. Its father, the previous Evil Emperor, was enraged by this, and a massive mental wave swept through the entire Demon Forest like a raging sea, engaging Lingbing Douluo in battle.

On that day, the dark sky was torn apart, and countless soul beasts of the Demon Forest trembled and prostrated themselves under two powerful pressures, as a strong spiritual force enveloped the sea of ​​trees.

In the end, its father, who stood at the pinnacle of the continent, was defeated and turned into the spirit ring of the Spirit Ice Douluo.

Thus, the Evil Eye clan lost its strongest protector, and the Demon Forest lost its master.

Because the rulers of the Star Dou Great Forest and the Far North had signed a contract with the Spirit Pagoda, they would not be violated by Soul Masters. As a result, the Demon Forest suffered along with the ocean, and a large number of greedy Soul Masters rushed in after learning the news.

After fighting alongside other spirit beasts several times, the Evil Eye Tyrant realized that continuing in this way would only lead to its own demise, and began to seek a way to survive.

To become a spirit?

Sign a contract with the Spirit Pagoda?

This option was not even among its choices.

Its father died at the hands of Lingbing Douluo. Although it never thought of avenging him, it also did not want to bow down to the Spirit Pagoda.

Unless Spirit Ice Douluo can become a god...

At this very moment, remnants of the Holy Spirit Cult returned to the ruins of the Holy Spirit Cult headquarters in search of something, and took the opportunity to approach it, hoping to rekindle their past relationship and cooperate with it to strengthen the Holy Spirit Cult.

However, at that time, the two Limit Douluo of the Holy Spirit Cult were already dead, and the Holy Spirit Cult's headquarters had been destroyed by Spirit Ice Douluo. The Evil Eye Tyrant originally didn't want to cooperate with such a hopeless force. But a figure gradually stepping into the limelight changed his mind.

The Demon Emperor, a super soul beast that inherited the legacy of the Deep Sea Demon Whale King, is an existence that can rival its father!

With the other side present, the Holy Spirit Cult's strength is still considerable.

So, it took some of the Evil Eyes and joined the Holy Spirit Cult, eventually arriving on the Star Luo Continent with them.

But it never forgot the culprit who brought all this to light—Lingbing Douluo!
Even if the Spirit Ice Douluo has a limited lifespan and is outlived by it, it will never forget that it was the most profound memory it has ever had.

The young man before him stirred up memories of the Evil Eye Tyrant.

It's so similar, it's really too similar.

Although everyone says that Lingbing Douluo's martial soul is only the ultimate ice, how could it not know the trickery behind the battle between Lingbing Douluo and the Evil Emperor?
The clash between those two almost evenly matched spiritual forces and the peak spiritual forces clearly told it that Spirit Ice Douluo probably had another martial soul with a spiritual attribute.

And Huo Yuhao in front of us has just that kind of setup.

Is it a descendant, or something else?

If this person is a descendant, then the other party's mental control is terrifying...

The Evil Eye Tyrant's spiritual tentacles spread silently, trying to capture even the slightest familiar aura from Huo Yuhao.

Images from ten thousand years ago kept flashing through its mind: the icy blue sword light that tore through the sky, the extreme chill that froze time and space, and its father's last, unwilling roar...

As the battle progressed, the figures before him gradually overlapped with the enemies in his memory. The aura of soul power was very familiar to the Evil Eye Tyrant, yet it instinctively resisted this possibility.

Conflicting emotions collided fiercely in its vast mental sea, ultimately transforming into this almost trembling question.

What is your relationship with Spirit Ice Douluo?

The Evil Eye Tyrant didn't want to admit it, but the truth was—someone who resembled him even slightly had already thrown him into a panic…

"..."

Huo Yuhao remained silent, refusing to answer the Evil Eye Tyrant's question, and instead focused solely on finding its weaknesses.

Seeing this, a hint of hesitation flashed in the eyes of the Evil Eye Tyrant, which finally turned into killing intent.

"Lingbing Douluo cannot be alive, you cannot be him! But since you have inherited a martial soul similar to Lingbing, and I have inherited my father's name, then you will take his place... and bear my wrath!"

"If you do not bow before the Emperor, you have already lost your true destiny; your name will surely be etched in the cycle of reincarnation!"

He inherited the title of the Evil Emperor, while the person before him inherited the power of Lingbing. Their battle was like destiny, and a victor must be determined.

It aims to completely crush this potential threat and thereby sweep away the shadow of ten thousand years ago!
"Hahaha! He's still calling himself 'Emperor,' and he clearly sees this battle as a replay of ten thousand years ago. The Second Generation Evil Emperor VS the Second Generation Spirit Ice... Tsk tsk tsk, how did he even come up with that?" Tianmeng chuckled as she looked at the Evil Emperor. "Don't you have anything to say about this, Evil Emperor?"

The Evil Emperor watched the scene outside without replying.

As soon as the Evil Eye Tyrant finished speaking, he used the Evil Eye Gaze, and the impact formed by his mental power once again pierced Huo Yuhao's sea of ​​consciousness like a sharp cone, intending to compete with him.

Despite having doubts in its heart, it didn't run away. Instead, it fought Huo Yuhao to the death. I really don't know how it has survived all these years.

Moreover, he kept referring to himself as "this Emperor," which shows his fondness for the title of Evil Emperor... Faced with this situation, the Evil Emperor didn't say anything, but he was already about to lose his temper!

If this "mentally challenged" child continues to talk, how will he ever be able to navigate the world of the mind again?

In such a short time, that bug must have been laughing its head off!

……

Seeing that the Evil Eye Tyrant had made up his mind, the evil soul master came to his senses. Although he was somewhat confused by the "Evil Emperor" mentioning the Spirit Ice Douluo, he did not let these doubts affect him. Instead, he turned his gaze to Gu Yuena.

Whether that boy is Huo Yuhao or not, and what his relationship is with Lingbing Douluo, is irrelevant to the current battle.

This girl, however... is a bit troublesome.

He also wanted to help the Evil Emperor defeat Huo Yuhao, but the aura emanating from this girl made him dare not ignore her.

"However, your aura is not as strong as your companion's. You think you can hold me off by yourself? You can't!"

The black-robed evil spirit master sneered and took the initiative to challenge "death," earning the admiration of some spirits in the Sea of ​​Spirit.

Indeed, ignorance is bliss...

Unfortunately, he never had the chance to fight Gu Yuena again.

In the blink of an eye, a series of mental shocks struck the black-robed evil spirit master.

It didn't come from Huo Yuhao; it was an attack from the Evil Eye Tyrant!
Just moments ago, the Evil Eye Tyrant's scarlet eyes suddenly shifted strangely, and the mental attack that was originally aimed at Huo Yuhao abruptly changed direction in mid-air, attacking the black-robed evil soul master without warning.

Caught off guard by his companion, the evil spirit master was instantly severely injured, bleeding from all seven orifices, and looked at the Evil Eye Tyrant in disbelief.

But the latter showed no remorse, only looking at Huo Yuhao and the figure beside him with a trembling gaze, his eyes still somewhat dazed.

Huo Yuhao's fifth spirit ring shone brightly, and a dark red thorny halo appeared on the outer ring, slowly dissipating. It was clearly a spirit skill he intended to use to deal with attacks.

Beside him, a humanoid spirit with a strong presence was staring at him with cold eyes.

The Evil Eye Tyrant recognized the soul skill Huo Yuhao used; it was the Evil Emperor's signature soul skill—Thorn Halo!
What horrified it even more was that the spirit was its father.

At this moment, all the information came together again:

Able to unleash the Evil Emperor's exclusive soul skill...

He possesses the spirit of his father... He possesses two martial souls: ultimate ice and spiritual power...

Regardless, the Evil Eye Tyrant must accept an absurd fact—

The seemingly young Soul Master before me is none other than the Spirit Ice Douluo who killed its father ten thousand years ago!

Huo Yuhao's resemblance to the Spirit Ice Douluo was enough to throw him into a panic. If Huo Yuhao truly was the Spirit Ice Douluo, and still possessed his father's soul spirit, how dare it attack him?
Therefore, it instinctively redirected its attack on the evil spirit master. Because the Evil Eye Tyrant believed that only in this way could it survive!
Seeing that the Evil Eye Tyrant was ignoring him and focusing all his attention on Huo Yuhao, the Evil Soul Master, betrayed, roared in anger:
"Evil Emperor, what are you doing?"

The Evil Eye Tyrant felt his father's aura growing colder, his entire body radiating chill. He shuddered and abruptly turned his eyes to the Evil Soul Master, his scarlet pupils bursting with savage killing intent.

"Shut up! Who gave you permission to address me like that? That's my father's name!"

The evil spirit master's eyes widened, and he coughed up a mouthful of blood. "Is that why you attacked me? Didn't you say you wanted to inherit your father's name?"

What's wrong with this Evil Eye Tyrant? Did it get kicked in the head by a Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear? Is its brain filled with water?!

"Shut up!"

Enraged, the Evil Eye Tyrant decided not to let the evil soul master continue speaking. One of its tentacles, radiating a silver-white halo, suddenly reached out towards the other party.

Any living thing, even a plant, will face annihilation once it touches its tentacles. These tentacles possess a terrifying ability—soul devouring.

Once it makes contact, the tentacles release a powerful mental shockwave, instantly invading the opponent's body, first destroying their mental world, then devouring their soul and transforming it into their own source of power.

For the Evil Eye Tyrants, who possess the purest bloodline, ordinary food is meaningless; what they rely on for survival is pure spiritual power.

Originally, Huo Yuhao was the best tonic in its eyes, but it dared not attack him and could only make do with him while submitting its pledge of loyalty.

However, this evil spirit master was still a three-word battle armor master. Although he was caught off guard by its backstab, he still had some ability to resist and barely dodged the attack before trying to escape.

"Evil Emperor, you have openly betrayed us. Prepare to receive the Ghost Emperor's punishment!"

The Evil Eye Tyrant snorted coldly, intending to unleash another sure-hit mental shock, when a dark red halo of thorns suddenly bloomed in the void. The evil soul master had only rushed a few meters when his body seemed to have crashed into an invisible wall, freezing in mid-air.

"This is..." The evil spirit master's eyes widened, and extreme terror appeared on his face.

He felt as if countless sharp spikes were piercing his sea of ​​consciousness, then pulling hard as if trying to peel the entire sea of ​​consciousness out of his body!

The Thorn Aura is both a powerful defensive soul skill and a powerful offensive soul skill.

It can not only immediately reflect 50% of the damage suffered by the user back to the opponent and convert it into mental damage to directly attack the opponent, but it can also forcibly strip away the enemy's mental sea.

Those with slightly weaker cultivation levels are completely unable to resist, and once they lose their spiritual sea, they will instantly become idiots.

The evil spirit master's face contorted at a visible speed, his pupils began to dilate, drool uncontrollably dripped from the corners of his mouth, and the surface of his three-word battle armor quickly dimmed.

Without a spiritual core and with his spiritual power not reaching the Spirit Realm, he clearly had no ability to resist the Thorn Aura.

Huo Yuhao stepped forward slowly, his icy blue eyes revealing neither joy nor anger: "Now, tell me about this place and the true situation of the Star Luo Continent."

His voice was soft, yet it seemed to possess some kind of magic, instantly focusing the evil spirit master's unfocused gaze. The mental erosion from the thorny halo temporarily lessened, giving him a moment of clarity.

He struggled to turn his eyes to look at Huo Yuhao, and grinned maliciously, "You...don't even think about...the Holy Church's eternal..."

"If you want to know information about the Holy Spirit Church, just ask me."

Seeing that Huo Yuhao hadn't gone all out to kill him, the Evil Eye Tyrant breathed a sigh of relief. But it didn't relax; instead, it immediately came to Huo Yuhao and continued to betray its teammates.

For the sake of his own future, he had no choice but to betray the Holy Spirit Cult.

"This piece of trash knows less than a tenth of what I do. Whatever you want to know, I can tell you..."

Upon hearing the words of the Evil Eye Tyrant, the Evil Soul Master stared at it in disbelief, unable to comprehend how this proud soul beast could have become like this.

Even when facing the Ghost Emperor, the other party dared to argue based on its high seniority in the Holy Spirit Sect. In the entire Holy Spirit Sect, the only one who could truly make it bow its head was probably that real god.

But now... it's actually bowing down and submitting to a Soul Emperor?
The Evil Eye Tyrant noticed the shocked look in the evil soul master's eyes, a hint of mockery flashing within them. How could this foolish evil soul master understand? If the person before him was truly the Spirit Ice Douluo from ten thousand years ago, then what difference would there be between him and a god?
Ten thousand years have passed; how could humanity possibly have survived to this day? These thoughts swirled wildly within the Evil Eye Tyrant's mind. Unless… unless the other party had already transcended the boundaries of the mortal realm.

The tentacles of the Evil Eye Tyrant trembled involuntarily as a terrifying thought arose in its mind: this was the real reason for its swift surrender.

Huo Yuhao was not surprised by the change in the Evil Eye Tyrant's attitude. He glanced at the Evil Eye Tyrant calmly and nodded, "Speak."

According to the Evil Emperor, this guy is very similar to him in personality, so it's not surprising that he made the current decision when he had no other choice.

"Yes, Your Majesty Lingbing."

The Evil Eye Tyrant's mental fluctuations were imbued with an unprecedented humility.

"This place is used by the Holy Spirit Cult to guard the Dragon Valley passage. In recent years, we have obtained a lot of dragon bones and other resources from there..."

Upon hearing this, the evil soul master struggled violently and sneered, "Are you insane? You actually bow down to a Soul Emperor..."

As he spoke, his voice gradually lowered. He suddenly realized a terrifying detail—the Evil Eye Tyrant had just addressed him as "Your Majesty, Spirit Ice!"
His pupils contracted sharply, his gaze shifting back and forth between Huo Yuhao and the elusive spirit of the Evil Emperor. An absurd thought exploded in his mind, almost freezing his blood.

No, this is impossible! Lingbing Douluo cannot still be alive!

Huo Yuhao watched all of this quietly. While the evil soul master was in a state of mental chaos, he also began to use necromancy to probe his memories.

The accuracy of the information provided by the Evil Eye Tyrant can be verified by this Evil Soul Master.

After obtaining the information he wanted and taking away all the useful items from the base, Huo Yuhao finally ended the life of the evil soul master. He then activated the Underworld Domain, turning the evil soul master into an undead creature without any waste.

A three-word battle armor master is a pretty good result.

Seeing that Huo Yuhao had finished all this and was about to leave with Gu Yuena, the Evil Eye Tyrant spoke up:

"Your Majesty Lingbing, I..."

"Just stay."

The Evil Emperor said coldly, "Be a good Evil Emperor in the Holy Spirit Cult."

Seeing that the Evil Emperor had finished speaking and began to emanate an aura of destruction, the Evil Eye Tyrant was filled with questions.

"???"

Father, what do you mean by this?
I've already surrendered!

……

Several hours later, when the Holy Spirit Cult arrived at the location after receiving the distress signal, they found the base frozen by extreme ice and the severely damaged Evil Eye Tyrant inside.

While the evil spirit masters were filled with horror and anger, the Evil Eye Tyrant felt only sorrow.

If I had known, I wouldn't have used the title "Evil Emperor"...
