A fierce wind howled, the forest sea boiled, and a crimson blood light seemed to be the only thing in the world. The Land of Eternal Night was holding a grand funeral!
Death Emperor Yalu screeched and roared, attempting to mask the panic surging in its heart. It had already sensed something amiss; its proud Death God Bloodline was trembling like never before. Just the sight of the increasingly sinister and malevolent figure across from it made it want to beg for mercy and kneel in submission!
Wild grass-like fear washed over Death Emperor Yalu's heart, but soon a more intense emotion arose, overpowering the fear—it was rage!
Death Emperor Yalu's eyes blazed with fury. The last vestige of pride in the Death God Bloodline made it raise its battle flag once more. All the vines flashed a metallic, cold color, like iron chains, rushing towards Ling Bai, whose aura had reached its peak!
However, after the Death Prison Spider Emperor devoured hundreds of Soul Rings from the snake swarm, Ling Bai's soul power had surged, completely restoring to its peak state, even surpassing it!
Raising the scythe, cutting down, shattering, annihilating!
The Death Prison Scythe struck the vines, bursting into brilliant sparks. Death Emperor Yalu's vision could no longer keep up with Ling Bai's ghostly speed—it was unable to resist, unable to grasp!
"Swoosh—"
The Death Prison Scythe pierced through the strange eye in the center of Death Emperor Yalu's chest. In the next moment, the once glorious ten-thousand-year soul beast's body spewed scalding hot blood, forming a crimson, tragic flower on the ground!
"Boom!"
A massive explosion echoed. This time, the Death Prison Scythe split open Death Emperor Yalu's chest, revealing a pulsating, blood-red heart!
Ling Bai felt no mercy for his prey. The eight Dead Prison Spider Spears behind him lifted and fell simultaneously, piercing the soul beast's heart with eight gruesome holes. Blood trickled out in streams, and Death Emperor Yalu's vitality drained away. In its final moments, it stared at Ling Bai's face, as if trying to etch this hatred into its bones, to remember it in the next life!
As the ferocity in Death Emperor Yalu's eyes gradually faded, a deep, black Soul Ring slowly condensed in the air. This Soul Ring's quality rivaled that of most soul beasts with eight or nine ten-thousand-year cultivation!
The battle was not yet over. Ling Bai endured the pain of his soul power exceeding its limits and turned his attention to Medusa, the Snake Empress, who had just broken through the Star Protection and was trying to sneak away.
Medusa fled madly. Although Death Emperor Yalu was only a five-ten-thousand-year-old monster, with the Death God Bloodline's enhancement and the innate domain of the Land of Eternal Night, there were few soul beasts under ten thousand years that could steadily defeat it. That's why Medusa dared to risk the destruction of her clan by colluding with it. Now that her support had fallen, what else could she do but escape!
Cruel reality often deals a heavy blow to those who indulge in fantasies. Medusa suddenly felt her left side become much lighter and looked down in surprise.
It turned out her left arm had vanished for no apparent reason. The problem wasn't... the problem was huge!
Medusa's heart turned to ice. She instinctively swung her right arm, only to find it had lost sensation. Trying to accelerate with her snake tail, she stumbled and fell into the mud. Three meters away, her severed tail continued to twitch.
Even ants strive to survive, let alone a ten-thousand-year-old soul beast. Medusa's survival instinct exploded, and even if she had to become a snake pig, she still struggled like a maggot, inching forward until a foot stepped on her back.
Medusa struggled to turn her head and saw Ling Bai looking down at her. For a moment, she felt a sense of déjà vu. Not long ago, the little snakes that Death Emperor Yalu had forcibly blood-sacrificed had also tried to escape but were ultimately swallowed by the flower sea, becoming nourishment for Death Emperor Yalu.
Looking at it this way, her fate was no different from the little snakes—becoming a Soul Ring for a human soul master to break through their limitations.
Medusa did not have Death Emperor Yalu's stubbornness; she resigned herself to her fate, giving up any resistance. However, Ling Bai's expression was very cold. The eight spider spears were razor-sharp, and the snake scales and bones were as fragile as paper before the Death Prison Spider Emperor. The spider spears accurately pierced Medusa's vital organs, injecting a poison several times more potent than the Death Prison Spider Emperor's venom.
Capturing her alive meant leaving a breath, but to be safe, Ling Bai had to cut off Medusa's will to struggle. He deliberately controlled the spread of the Death Prison Spider Emperor's venom, keeping Medusa in a state of intense pain, unable to muster any soul power. Four days later, she turned into a pool of toxic water.
Storing the nearly unrecognizable Medusa in the Storage Soul Conductor, Ling Bai sat down against a tree. His body was covered in blood, with various ghastly wounds on his abdomen.
The Death Prison Spider Emperor's innate domain, the Land of Eternal Night, was lifted, and the pain from his wounds instantly surged through his nerves, overwhelming his mind. The sudden, intense pain was no less severe than the cruelest torture, but Ling Bai's face showed no emotion related to pain. He sat alone under the tree, gazing at the dark, lightless sky of the Land of Eternal Night.
In Ling Bai's unrelenting gaze, Xu Jiujiu entered his field of vision without noticing.
She paused slightly, pursing her lips as if in thought, then decided to approach. She tore a strip of cloth from her clothes and carefully wiped the blood from Ling Bai's hands, leaving no trace. Then she meticulously treated the wounds on his abdomen and chest.
Ling Bai's initially irritated mouth curved into a slight smile.
This princess still has a bit of conscience.
"Done, very perfect!"
Fifteen minutes later, Xu Jiujiu clapped her hands, examining Ling Bai, who now resembled a mummy, and nodded in satisfaction.
Ling Bai stiffly stood up, with only one thought in his mind.
Oh no, I've been tricked!
Princess Xu Jiujiu is no good at bandaging!
Perhaps Ling Bai's unmasked regret was too obvious. Xu Jiujiu turned her head to hide her embarrassment and said stubbornly, "It's my first time, so I'm not very skilled. Don't worry, I'll definitely improve next time!"
"I suspect you're cursing me, but I have no evidence."
Ling Bai moved his arms, slowly walking towards Death Emperor Yalu's ten-thousand-year Soul Ring. He had gone through great lengths and risked his life to hunt this top-tier soul beast; he couldn't afford to miss it.
The process of absorbing the Soul Ring went smoothly. Death Emperor Yalu's soul tremor served as a post-meal dessert for the Death Prison Spider Emperor. After eating the Soul Ring and the resentment, the Death Prison Spider Emperor was stuffed for the night, and its eyes in the sea of spirit looked at Ling Bai with a much clearer expression.
Ling Bai opened his eyes, a hint of brilliance flashing in them. A black Soul Ring appeared on the lonely gray Soul Ring, emitting an extremely dangerous soul power fluctuation.
At the same time, Ling Bai's soul power advanced from level 44 to level 46, partly from Death Emperor Yalu and partly from the additional effect of his ultimate talent, Soul Devouring.
The reason Evil Spirit Souls are called Evil Spirit Souls is because they possess the ability to devour and slaughter life to increase soul power, such as Blood Baby Douluo harming infants, Death God Puppet killing to capture souls, and so on.
The Death Spider Emperor and the Soul Devouring Spider Emperor can both be called Evil Spirit Souls in today's Douluo Continent, let alone their fusion, the Death Prison Spider Emperor.
If the Death Prison Spider Emperor hadn't cut off most of the energy from the Soul Rings of the snake swarm, Ling Bai would have gained only a tiny fraction from its nail crevices. Otherwise, this battle alone would have boosted Ling Bai's soul power to the Soul King level!
Ling Bai preferred the Death Prison Spider Emperor to be a bit more greedy. After all, effortless gains are addictive, and many evil soul masters fall into depravity after accidentally killing someone and easily gaining a massive boost in soul power. The initial thrill leads to repeated actions, growing bolder each time until they can't stop!
Feeling the leap in his soul power, Ling Bai silently resolved to use Soul Devouring less or not at all in the future to avoid leaving any hidden dangers!
After absorbing the Soul Ring, the next step was to dissect the soul beast and open the soul bone blind box. After a series of intense operations, Ling Bai looked at the empty soul beast corpse in deep thought.
Really, I'm going to lose it!
A soul beast like Death Emperor Yalu not dropping a soul bone?!
What's going on? Who's the problem here?
Ling Bai deeply considered the feasibility of finding an Imperial Auspicious Beast in the Star Dou Great Forest to borrow luck. After several simulations, he decided to abandon the idea. It wasn't that the great beasts were too formidable; it was that the Ten-Thousand-Year Golden Turtle was more cost-effective!
"We should leave now."
Having completed the inner courtyard assessment task, Ling Bai needed to return to Shrek Academy to watch Ning Tian and Wu Feng's Freshman Competition of the Outer Academy.
To be honest, under fair conditions, Ling Bai didn't expect Ning Tian's team to win the championship. Wu Feng's limited martial and intellectual abilities, combined with Nanmen Yun'er's drag in high-level matches, meant that if they faced Huo Yuhao and Dai Huabin's teams, Wu Feng and Nanmen Yun'er wouldn't stand a chance against Tang San's daughter and the dual soul beast Xiao Xiao, let alone Zhu Lu and Cui Yajie.
Even with the Seven Treasures Crystal Tower's enhancement, Ning Tian's team would struggle to match the two teams' soul fusion techniques, the Golden Path and the Netherworld White Tiger.
"I hope they can win..."
Ling Bai had grown up with Ning Tian and Wu Feng and knew that Ning Tian's pride was far greater than Wu Feng's. The good upbringing of the Nine Treasures Crystal Tower's master prevented her from saying hurtful words to their faces, but if they lost, Ning Tian would likely be in a funk for a long time.
"Where did Xu Jiujiu go?"
Ling Bai scanned the area but couldn't find Xu Jiujiu. Activating the Spider Emperor's perception, he discovered that Xu Jiujiu was squatting under a tree, busy with something and muttering to herself.
As he approached, Ling Bai heard her words clearly:
"Uncle She Chong, Jiu Jiu will always remember your sacrifice. The soul beasts that killed you have all been punished. May you rest in peace..."
Xu Jiujiu had built a small tomb and erected a stone monument, inscribed with six large characters: Guard of She Chong.
Seeing this, Ling Bai immediately put away his smile. Few can truly forgive and forget, but death is like the extinguishing of a lamp, and past grievances should be let go. Moreover, there was no deep enmity between them. If Ling Bai had been in She Chong's position, he would have similarly prevented any ill-intentioned strangers from approaching Xu Jiujiu.
"Did you finish?"
After paying respects to She Chong, Xu Jiujiu looked at Ling Bai with a gaze that seemed to see a monster. Absorbing a five-ten-thousand-year Soul Ring in less than half an hour was outrageous!
Ling Bai nodded slightly and said, "Let's go, Miss Xu. We should leave Yoyo Forest."
Hearing this, Xu Jiujiu's eyebrows furrowed, and she said unhappily, "I told you not to call me Miss Xu!"
"Then should I call you Princess Jiu'er?"
When Xu Jiujiu restrained Medusa, she had exposed her Star Crown, which was well-known to be the Star Luo Empire's royal soul beast. This title was indeed fitting.
"Whatever!"
Xu Jiujiu tossed her long hair and stomped off, indignant. An evil soul master was playing with her, and the mocking expression on his face was obvious!
Royal disciples are skilled at reading people, and after fighting and bleeding together, Xu Jiujiu felt she understood a bit of Ling Bai's character. He was gentle and humorous outside of battle and could take a joke, to the point where she sometimes forgot he was an evil soul master.
"Awooo—"
A long, distant wolf howl echoed. The two exchanged glances and saw the same confusion in each other's eyes. The only wolf soul beast in Yoyo Forest was the Luminous Silver Wolf, but they lived in the Eternal Day Zone and would never enter the Land of Eternal Night!
The one Xu Jiujiu and She Chong encountered was an exception, as it had led them into a trap with the intention of dying.
A faint silver light flickered, and the Spider Emperor's perception told Ling Bai that the Luminous Silver Wolf's cultivation was similar to the previous one, just breaking through to ten thousand years.
"Hmm? Something's not right. Luminous Silver Wolves are purely silver, but this one seems to have a faint golden glow!"
Ling Bai noticed the anomaly and whispered to Xu Jiujiu.
"I know! It's a variant of the Luminous Silver Wolf, the Radiant Star Silver Wolf!"
Xu Jiujiu's face visibly flushed, and her voice trembled involuntarily. "According to the ancient records of the Star Luo royal family, only one Radiant Star Silver Wolf is born out of ten thousand Luminous Silver Wolves! The Radiant Star Silver Wolf is born under starlight and wields the power of the sun, moon, and stars. It is the most suitable soul beast for the Star Crown soul beast, without a doubt!"
In her excitement, she forgot her feminine reserve and royal dignity, tightly gripping Ling Bai's sleeve, her eyes shining with excitement. "Ling Bai, help me kill it! Absorbing the Radiant Star Silver Wolf's Soul Ring will surpass all past royal family members in quality!"
"That impressive?"
Ling Bai lightly stroked his smooth chin. Xu Jiujiu's words were not exaggerated. Some Soul Rings could completely transform a soul beast, like the Golden Tortoise Shell helping the Mystic Turtle Shield awaken its bloodline and evolve into the Xuanwu Turtle!
The Radiant Star Silver Wolf for the Star Crown was similar to the Golden Tortoise Shell for the Mystic Turtle Shield, and its importance was self-evident!
At ten thousand years of cultivation, the Radiant Star Silver Wolf, no matter how strong, couldn't surpass Death Emperor Yalu. Ling Bai could easily handle it, but he didn't want to satisfy Xu Jiujiu so easily. He seriously said to her:
"I'll help you, but I can't do it for free."
"Why are you talking about conditions at a time like this!" Xu Jiujiu stomped her foot in anger but forced herself to say, "Help me quickly, and when we return to Star Luo City, I'll give you a ten-thousand-year-old soul bone!"
"I'm not interested." Ling Bai shook his head vigorously.
"Just tell me what you want, and I swear by the credibility of the Star Luo royal family that I'll give it to you!"
Xu Jiujiu raised three fingers in a vow. She was nearly driven crazy by Ling Bai. Missing the Radiant Star Silver Wolf would make her want to slap herself awake at midnight!
Ling Bai revealed his true intentions and said, "Alright, then say, 'Young Master, please kill the soul beast.'"
Xu Jiujiu: ???
Fine, fine, are you really an evil soul master?
