Douluo Continent: The World Shines with Stars

Chapter 88 Evil Eye Tyrant

The purple longsword in Xu Zilong's hand is a level nine melee soul tool, Annihilation, which he personally crafted by collecting rare soul-guiding metals from the entire empire.

Its most important characteristic is that it can transmit the special and powerful destructive attribute of the Purple Emperor Annihilation Dragon, destroying all obstacles with a single swing.

"Boy, this is your last chance. Hand over the divine inheritance, and I'll spare your life."

He pointed his long sword at Xu Mingxi's brow and issued an ultimatum: what he couldn't have, no one else could have either, even if it meant severing the lineage of the Sun and Moon Gods.

Xu Mingxi shattered the cage behind her with a blazing sun cannon, broke free, and fled towards the demon in response.

"Hahaha, very well, since you want to die, I, the Emperor, will grant your wish."

Xu Zilong channeled his soul power into his flying soul tool, and his figure instantly disappeared from the spot. In the blink of an eye, he was already beside Xu Mingxi, and swung his sword down.

The Blazing Sun Armor was activated, and starlight condensed into armor on Xu Mingxi's body. He intended to use it to block the attack, but he did not expect that the soul power covering his body would begin to dissolve the moment it came into contact with the opponent's longsword-shaped soul tool.

Xu Mingxi's expression changed drastically as she tried to dodge, but it was too late. The flesh on the upper part of her right arm was slid across by the long knife and melted away.

The flames scorched his flesh, causing excruciating pain, but the bleeding was finally stopped. He knew he was no match for Xu Zilong in close combat, so he unleashed his full power, covering himself in blazing sun, and the flames shot skyward, temporarily forcing Xu Zilong back.

Then, Xu Mingxi unfurled crimson wings from his back, transforming into a golden light that plunged directly into the Demon Forest, unleashing the 100,000-year-old Yangyanwu Soul Bone skill, Golden Crow Transformation into Rainbow.

Xu Zilong was momentarily taken aback by the speed Xu Mingxi displayed, but to say that he could shake him off would be to underestimate him as a titled Douluo and a level nine Soul Master.

The two fled and chased each other into the Demon Forest. The three Soul Douluos who were left behind could not keep up at all. They looked at each other in bewilderment and had no choice but to return home and wait for good news from His Majesty.

The Demon Forest is the largest gathering place for soul beasts in the Sun Moon Empire. Ancient trees tower into the clouds, their intertwined branches forming a vast net that blocks all sunlight. The forest's color changes from dark green to pitch black, and the ground is covered with fallen leaves, filled with the damp and decaying smell.

Most of the spirit beasts here are strange and powerful. The Evil Eye Tyrant clan is the ruler of this place, and its patriarch, the Evil Eye Tyrant, has a reign of up to 700,000 years.

Xu Mingxi and Xu Zilong's intrusion shattered the tranquility of the forest. Flames swept across, leaving a charred trail in the forest. Purple light followed closely behind, destroying everything in its path without leaving a trace.

There is no possibility of reconciliation between the two. The divine inheritance is so compelling that neither of them can give up. Unless one of them dies, this confrontation will continue indefinitely.

As Xu Mingxi fled, beams of sunlight shot backward in an attempt to slow Xu Zilong down, but they were all dissolved by the purple soul power covering him, having no effect whatsoever.

Xu Zilong, on the other hand, kept wielding his Heaven-Destroying Blade, purple blade energy splashing out and surrounding Xu Mingxi from all directions. The two attacks collided, and the booming sound attracted the attention of many powerful beings in the Demon Forest.

Deep within the Demon Forest, two enormous figures, their dark skins covered with strange patterns resembling mysterious symbols, faintly exuded an aura of evil.

Most noticeably, their single eye, occupying most of their heads, resembled a blood-red full moon, radiating a chilling light that seemed capable of driving one insane with just a glance. Tentacles stretched out across their massive bodies. Disturbed by the sudden noise, they roared in the direction of the sound and began moving towards the area where Xu Mingxi and his companion were fighting.

The three elders who had entered the Demon Forest ahead of time had recovered somewhat. They listened to the distant sounds of battle echoing through the sky from their hiding cave, their faces grim.

Their original duty was to protect Xu Mingxi, but now they actually need him to step forward and distract the enemy. It's truly a disgrace.

Especially the First Elder, whose bleeding has stopped and whose condition has stabilized thanks to the pills made from the Crystal Blood Dragon Ginseng.

However, his severed left arm will not regenerate, which greatly affects his combat effectiveness, rendering him powerless even if he wanted to provide support.

"Eighth Brother, Ninth Brother, seal off the cave and focus on recovering your strength. Trust Mingxi, he'll be alright."

If anything happens to him, I will make sure that the Sun Moon Empire is stained with blood. The Grand Elder took a deep look in the direction where the two were fighting, and then disappeared into the darkness of the cave.

Xu Mingxi fled with all his might, and the speed at which his soul power was consumed far exceeded his expectations. If he hadn't consumed three immortal herbs and absorbed two 100,000-year soul bones, he would have been unable to hold on long ago.

Seeing Xu Zilong getting closer and closer behind him, he sped towards the depths of the Evil Soul Forest. Suddenly, he seemed to hear a noise coming from his left front. He immediately turned around and moved quickly in the direction of the noise.

Xu Mingxi's fear now is not about accidents, but about the absence of accidents. If things continue like this, his soul power will eventually be exhausted before Xu Zilong, and he will be captured or killed by him. But if other changes occur, then it's uncertain.

Xu Zilong, who had been following behind, frowned slightly. He had also heard the commotion. Compared to Xu Mingxi, he didn't know as much about the Evil Soul Forest, but he knew that it was often frequented by 100,000-year-old soul beasts and was definitely not a place to stay for long.

His aura surged suddenly, and a huge phantom of the Purple Radiance Annihilation Dragon appeared above the Demon Forest. Seventh Soul Skill, Martial Soul True Body, Ninth Soul Skill, Purple Radiance Sky-Shattering Strike.

A powerful surge of soul energy gathered from the phantom's mouth. Xu Mingxi, who was in front of him, felt a great threat. When he looked back, his face, which was already pale from excessive consumption, turned deathly white. He squeezed every last bit of soul energy out of his body and charged toward the two Evil Eye Tyrants that had already appeared in his field of vision.

He could feel his spirit beginning to be impacted, but thanks to the increased spiritual power from his two lifetimes and the nourishment from the marks of the sun and moon gods and the fragments of the godhood of the stars in his spiritual sea, he endured the double spiritual impact and approached the two evil-eyed tyrants.

As Xu Mingxi drew closer to the Evil Eye Tyrant, a beam of purple energy shot out, leaving a huge scar in the vast Evil Soul Forest.

Xu Mingxi just arrived in front of the Evil Eye Tyrant. A pair of fiery wings enveloped his entire body, and he activated the Blazing Sun Body at full power. Starlight formed a sphere that enveloped him. His life or death depended on this moment.

The two evil-eyed tyrants were confused. With their single eye on the purple energy beam rushing towards them, they sensed a great threat from it. Blood-red beams shot out from their single eyes, meeting the oncoming Purple Radiance Sky-Shattering Strike.
