Douluo Continent: Martial Soul Spirit Ball, Come Out, Haki Dance!

Chapter 40 Tree Species Location Malfunction, Zhu Zhuqing Picks Up the Corpse

As the eldest prince of the Star Luo Empire, Davis's cultivation talent is second only to Dai Mubai among the Star Luo royal family.

His soul power recently broke through to the level 40 Soul Master realm.

His younger brother, Dai Mubai, had already fled the Star Luo Empire three years ago, so as long as the Holy King appears in this ruin, he will be the one with the best chance of inheriting the legacy.

"Hehe, as long as I can obtain the Holy King's inheritance, the throne of the Star Luo Empire will surely fall into my hands."

With this thought in mind, he continued to follow the guidance of the Holy King's aura and walked deeper into the ruins.

But he didn't notice that the thin young man standing at the end of the line was looking at him with jealousy and rage.

Meanwhile, Ye Xuan was stealthily making his way towards the location of Hu Liena and Ning Rongrong.

What puzzled him was that no matter how hard he tried to catch up with the two of them, he still couldn't feel the distance between them closing.

"What exactly is going on? Could it be that there's something wrong with the tree seeds Ah Yin gave us?"

Ye Xuan sensed something was wrong. He had been traveling at full speed for over an hour, and the tree seed had indeed sensed the exact location of the two women.

But the truth is that, according to the tree species' senses, the distance between himself and them has not decreased at all.

Just as he was about to calm down and think, the roars of soul beasts and the screams of soul masters came from the woods not far away.

"Hmm? Has someone been killed?"

Ye Xuan didn't really care about the lives of others, but he did want to see how powerful the soul beasts living in the Holy King's Ruins were.

"Go take a look, and while you're at it, observe the dangers lurking within the Holy King's ruins."

With that thought, his figure vanished from the spot in an instant.

A dozen seconds later, his figure disappeared atop a towering tree tower, beneath which lay a scene of carnage.

At this moment, only the two women and one man remained in the group below. In front of them were three soul beasts: two Evil-Eyed Tigers with an age of 1,500 years and one Evil-Eyed Tiger with an age of only 100 years.

"This is... an Evil-Eyed Tiger? I remember that this kind of spirit beast was hunted to extinction by the Star Luo Royal Family a hundred years ago?"

Ye Xuan had only encountered some Shadow Cats that were a hundred years old during his previous journey.

I never expected that such an extinct soul beast would exist here.

According to historical records—or rather, unofficial historical accounts—the ancestor of the Star Luo royal family was actually a mutated 100,000-year-old evil-eyed tiger that transformed into a human.

Because its skin was white from the moment it was born, it named its martial spirit "Evil-Eyed White Tiger" after transforming into human form.

What happened to the other party afterward is not recorded in that unofficial history, but a hundred years later a holy light fell from the sky.

The title of Evil Eye Saint King was only passed down among the younger generation who possessed the Evil Eye White Tiger Martial Soul a century later.

Ye Xuan looked at Xie Mouhu, who had heterochromatic red and blue eyes and an extremely flamboyant appearance, as he stepped off the stage, and felt an urge to gouge out Xie Mouhu's eyes and use them as decorations.

However, he knew very well that the Evil-Eyed Tiger's heterochromatic eyes could release mental shocks, and even a Soul King could easily become organic fertilizer if he encountered them.

The stalemate below didn't last long, and the two men and one woman quickly found themselves at a disadvantage.

But soon, Ye Xuan noticed that the two high-level Soul Masters below exchanged a glance, and then kicked the girl standing in front of them towards the three Evil-Eyed Tigers.

Upon seeing this, a complex look flashed in Ye Xuan's eyes.

Although what those two people did was shady, the girl was only a second-ring Great Soul Master after all. They were powerless to resist these three thousand-year-old beasts. If they wanted to survive, they could only use other people's lives to "fill the hole".

The girl, who was completely unprepared from behind, was kicked and stumbled, falling heavily to the ground. The two men merely glanced at her coldly before making their escape.

What Ye Xuan didn't expect was that the two thousand-year-old evil-eyed tigers only glanced at the girl, and then went straight towards the two fleeing youths.

"Tsk... I didn't expect them to have a division of labor in hunting. Interesting."

As the two thousand-year-old "big cats" ran away, Ye Xuan quietly approached the hundred-year-old "little cat".

Of course, he only wanted to see the appearance of this extinct soul beast up close, and he didn't have any designs on the girl who was lying on the ground unconscious.

Just as the little tiger was about to enjoy its meal, Ye Xuan's figure quietly appeared in front of it, following closely behind...

"Pfft!"

A bright blue vine pierced it from top to bottom, and before it could even react, it breathed its last.

"As expected, chrysanthemums are the weakness of all soul beasts, even this extinct soul beast is no exception."

Fortunately, no one else witnessed Ye Xuan's actions; otherwise, they would definitely have looked at him with strange eyes.

However, even after Ye Xuan dismembered the hundred-year-old Evil-Eyed Tiger into eight pieces, the yellow hundred-year-old soul ring that should have appeared did not materialize for a long time.

"Huh? The soul beasts in the Holy King's Ruins don't produce soul rings??"

Ye Xuan's expression turned somewhat ugly. Although he could sense that there was something strange about this strange place, the Douluo Continent had its own laws of cultivation.

Unless he has already left Douluo Continent, killing a soul beast will inevitably result in a soul ring.

But that's impossible. A Saint King with the highest level of only a third-level god could not possibly create such an independent small world.

"Forget it, I'd better think about how to get to the center of this small world first. If I'm not mistaken, the gaze that was watching me at the beginning was that of the Evil Eye Saint King."

Ye Xuan was very familiar with the original plot. The will of the Evil Eye Saint King was awakened in Dai Mubai's body during the Continental Advanced Soul Master Tournament.

It is clear that the Star Luo royal family, possessing the Evil Eye White Tiger Martial Soul, will return empty-handed from this Holy King's Relics expedition.

The Evil Eye Saint King will leave after the ruins are completed to find Dai Mubai, who has a stronger bloodline concentration.

Although Ye Xuan was very worried about the safety of his senior sister Hu Liena and Ning Rongrong, now that it was confirmed that he could not find them, all he could do was find the exit of the Holy King's Ruins.

He also believed that with his senior sister's mature and steady personality, nothing would happen to her here.

Before leaving, Ye Xuan glanced down at the girl lying on the ground.

Seeing her covered in blood and her lifeless state, he ultimately couldn't bear to leave her there to die.
