Douluo Continent: The Sky Revealed, What the Hell is Honkai Academy?

Chapter 62 The sixth-ranked Soul Beast on the Potential Ranking: The Evil Emperor!
Himeko, carrying the Greatsword of Annihilation, grinned: "If a formidable enemy attacks, it seems like another formidable opponent! However, I'd like to try and see if my Annihilation Flame can melt her Eternal Profound Ice!"

Theresa, hands on her hips, asked earnestly, "Can we stop thinking about fighting all the time? The Dean said we need peace. As long as the soul beasts are willing to communicate and not offend humans, we don't need to fight to the death. Isn't it better to research soul tools?"

Rita gracefully poured a steaming cup of black tea for everyone present.

She then returned to Zhang Yi's side and smiled, "Dean, it seems that this Snow Empress has already acquired the qualities to become a deity."

"The far north is likely to become an independent kingdom that even the divine realm must take seriously."

Zhang Yi took the black tea, the rising steam swirling around him. He gently blew on the foam, took a sip, and then leisurely commented:

“The Ice and Snow Maiden is not someone who pursues simple killing and conquest, but the ultimate Dao. I believe she is also a humanoid soul beast that can be negotiated with.”

"Moreover, the Snow Empress is aloof and lives in the far north, detached from worldly affairs. As long as one does not actively invade her territory or challenge her authority, she will likely not pay any attention to this mortal world."

His voice was calm, yet possessed a peculiar penetrating power, clearly reaching everyone's ears.

Then, Zhang Yi looked at Shui Bing'er and encouraged her, "Bing'er, you don't need to underestimate yourself. Your Ice Phoenix has evolved into the ultimate Ice Martial Soul, with limitless potential."

"The path of the Snow Emperor is the ultimate law bestowed by heaven and earth; while your path is the fusion and evolution of bloodline and the Soul Master system, each with its own merits. To learn from the virtuous is the right path."

Finally, his gaze once again turned to the distance, as if piercing through space, and for a fleeting moment met that of the emperor in the far north, his tone carrying a profound meaning:
"The higher one ranks on the Soul Beast Ranking, the more they reveal the fundamental mysteries of this world. The Snow Empress, ranked seventh, has already shown the bearing of an elemental emperor. I am increasingly looking forward to seeing what kind of astonishing beings the top six will be."

"The waters of Douluo Continent are much deeper than we imagined..."

As Zhang Yi finished speaking, the golden list in the sky shone brightly once more, and the icy phenomenon caused by the Snow Emperor slowly dissipated, foreshadowing the imminent reveal of the next ranking.

Everyone's hearts were once again in suspense, filled with awe and curiosity about the unknown powerful being.

……

Above the sky, the frozen kingdom belonging to the Snow Emperor slowly dissipated, but the chill that could freeze the soul had not completely faded away.

A completely different, yet equally terrifying pressure surged forth like a tidal wave!

The sky did not present a dense forest or an endless ice field, but instead transformed into a distorted, bizarre, and eerie space.

Countless enormous, colorful, and sinister eyes opened and closed in the void, and wherever their gaze fell, the space rippled and folded like water, as if it were an illusionary space.

Immediately afterwards, whispers and roars from the spiritual realm poured directly into the minds of all the viewers, causing waves of dizziness and soul-tearing pain!
In the center of this realm where both mind and space are distorted, an unimaginably vast outline gradually becomes clear.

It was an enormous vertical eye, its pupil as deep as a kaleidoscope, or perhaps a passage connecting to another dimension, reflecting the illusions of the birth and death of stars and the flow of time and space.

Around its eyes were countless waving, dark red tentacles covered in suction cups and eerie patterns. Each tentacle seemed to possess its own independent consciousness, stirring the surrounding space and light. It was none other than the absolute ruler of the Demon Forest within the Sun and Moon Empire, the supreme ferocious beast revered as the empire's totem—the Evil-Eyed Tyrant, the Evil Emperor!

[Soul Beast Potential Ranking, 6th Place - Evil Emperor (Beast King Level, Evil Eye Tyrant, Ultimate Spirit/Space)]

[Race]: Evil Eye Tyrant (Beast King level, a dual favorite of spirit and space)
[Bloodline]: The ancient evil eye mutated bloodline, which merges the spiritual origin and spatial fragments, creating a unique Beast Emperor.

[Cultivation Level]: 800,000 years (Having reached the ultimate peak of spiritual power among terrestrial soul beasts)
[Potential Assessment]: ★★★★★★
[Talent Domain]: Evil Eye Demonic Domain (Mental pollution, spatial distortion, sensory confusion within the domain, law disorder)
[Core Ability]: The pinnacle of mental power is enough to manipulate thoughts, alter memories, induce hallucinations, and even directly annihilate the soul in an instant;
Its unparalleled spatial control allows for spatial traversal, folding, imprisonment, and tearing; its ultimate technique—[Light of Spacetime]—can distort local spacetime, causing devastating damage and even interfering with the flow of time.

Its "Eye of Time and Space" can even glimpse fragments of the future and predict good or bad fortune.

[Reason for inclusion]: With spiritual power surpassing all other land-based soul beasts, and also cultivating spatial laws, possessing two extreme attributes, its strength and potential are unfathomable.

As an existence that rivals the Star Beast God Emperor Tian, ​​its very existence is proof of being at the top of the Soul Beast Pyramid.

If one can take it a step further, one may be able to glimpse the ultimate mysteries of spirit and spacetime, and become an evil god who wields this path.

[Potential Ranking Rewards]:
Void Soul Crystal: A strange crystal produced from the depths of a spacetime rift, containing the purest spiritual essence and fragments of spatial laws. It can greatly amplify the total amount and purity of one's spiritual power, and deepen one's understanding and application of spatial laws.

The ultimate divine ability—【Pupil Technique: Myriad Manifestations】: Pushes one's mental manipulation and illusionary abilities to the extreme, instantly weaving a vast and nearly realistic "mental world" that drags enemies into it, subjecting them to endless cycles until their minds collapse. This world can even briefly distort reality, blurring the lines between illusion and reality.

Artifact Embryo – [Dimensional Anchor]: An artifact embryo condensed by fusing the power of the Heavenly Dao with its spatial talent, resembling a transparent prism that constantly changes shape. It can anchor itself in space, stabilizing or disrupting the spatial structure of a specific area, greatly enhancing its spatial sealing and traversal capabilities, and deflecting or banishing most energy and physical attacks.

……

"The Evil Emperor! It's that terrifying, evil-eyed tyrant from the legends of the Sun Moon Empire!"

"My God! Mental power can have an ultimate attribute?! This is supposedly the most unbeatable attack method, how can we possibly fight against this?"

"An 800,000-year-old soul beast! Another ultimate ancient monster, an ancient ferocious beast! It has even been certified by the Heavenly Dao as the land soul beast with the strongest spiritual power!"

"The Light of Time and Space? The Eye of Time and Space? It can actually interfere with time? Even though it's only in its nascent stage, it's still too incredible!"

"Void Soul Crystal, Myriad Manifestations, Dimensional Anchor... these rewards are tailor-made for it! If it gets these, won't it be able to ascend to the heavens?!"

The entire Douluo Continent was in an uproar, especially the Soul Masters and people of the Sun Moon Empire, who were so excited that they could hardly contain themselves. Many people knelt down and worshipped the sky, shouting "The totem has appeared!"
Meanwhile, people from other empires and sects felt unprecedented pressure.

A soul beast with invincible mental power and the ability to manipulate space poses a threat even greater than a mere physical destroyer.
