Chapter 656 The Evil Emperor Dies, Becoming a Soul Ring (Part 2)
"The Evil Emperor..."
The sky remained a deep blue.
The Evil Eye Tyrant's power was simply too great. Even without Di Tian's intervention to dispel its aura, the Evil Emperor's formidable presence hadn't completely dissipated.
Dark red blood and large chunks of the Evil Emperor, severed by Di Tian, littered the ground.
Di Tian landed, his gaze complex as he looked at the unconscious Evil Emperor, but quickly recovered. After all, for the future of the soul beasts and the master's plan, the death of the Evil Emperor was nothing, especially since it wasn't from the Star Dou Great Forest.
He then used his spiritual power to scan the surroundings, sensing the direction Xuan Mo had gone. After locking onto it, he enveloped the unconscious Evil Emperor with dark and spatial power. After all, even if a powerful soul beast like the Evil Emperor, over 700,000 years old, was unconscious, even Di Tian wouldn't dare to be careless.
Afterwards, Di Tian disappeared into the Demon Forest with it, leaving behind only a devastated place.
"Brother Mo, what do you think is the current situation of the Evil Emperor?"
On their way back to the Demon Forest, Mu Lin looked at Xuan Mo beside him. "Aren't you afraid something might have happened to Senior Di Tian?"
"What do you think?"
Xuan Mo retorted irritably. "That's just nonsense. You have to understand, Senior Di Tian is a powerful soul beast with nearly 800,000 years of experience, while the Evil Emperor has only been around for a little over 700,000 years. Moreover, back then, the Evil Emperor was driven away by Di Tian. With that kind of record, what are you worried about?"
"Hehe, I was just asking."
"Hmm?" At this moment, Xuan Mo's heart stirred slightly, because he sensed something approaching them.
However, the reverse scale pendant on his chest suddenly became fiery hot, which made Xuan Mo instantly realize that Di Tian had arrived.
"Speak of the devil, and he appears..."
"Speak of the devil? What devil?"
Hearing Xuan Mo's mutterings, Mu Lin couldn't help but ask. But Xuan Mo just shook his head, without any intention of explaining.
"Nothing, it's just that Senior Di Tian has arrived."
"Bang!" As soon as he finished speaking, a huge body was thrown down hard, and Xuan Mo also assumed a defensive stance. There was only one reason for this: the Evil Emperor was not dead.
"Huh? This kid's cultivation level..."
After landing, Di Tian sensed that Xuan Mo's cultivation level had actually increased by two levels compared to before, and he couldn't help but be surprised, but he didn't say anything, only pointing at the unconscious Evil Emperor.
"Boy Mo, it's all yours now."
Upon hearing this, Xuan Mo immediately took out the God-Slaying Blade without saying a word. Because he knew that he had to hurry. After all, with the Evil Emperor's strength, he had to deal with him as soon as possible, lest things get complicated.
When Di Tian saw the God-Slaying Blade, for some reason, he felt a sense of familiarity with it, yet somehow, it wasn't quite there, like something vaguely present.
"Whoosh!"
With a single slash, the unconscious Evil Emperor was utterly powerless against the blade's sharpness. A single strike was enough to kill this Soul Beast Overlord.
With the Evil Emperor's death, several striking objects immediately caught Xuan Mo and Mu Lin's attention.
First was a dark red halo, a dark red halo with seven golden patterns! And in the center of that halo was a peculiar dark blue eye, only the size of a palm, yet shimmering with an eerie light.
"What is this? A soul bone?"
Xuan Mo stared in astonishment at the object in the center of the soul ring.
Soul beasts of ten thousand years or more would not only possess a ten thousand-year soul ring but also a powerful ten thousand-year soul bone. However, he had never seen a soul bone with this eye-like shape before; there seemed to be no record of such a soul bone.
"Brother Mo, do you recognize this soul bone?"
Mu Lin asked curiously upon seeing this.
Xuan Mo shook his head and said, "I don't know either. It looks like an external soul bone, and it's probably an eye-type one. I just don't know how to use it."
Upon hearing this, Mu Lin's expression immediately became excited, and he said, "How else can you use it! Of course, you absorb it directly! I imagine it will greatly enhance your spiritual power!"
Di Tian, standing to the side, remained silent, simply watching.
At this moment, Xuan Mo first sheathed the God-Slaying Blade, then used his spiritual power to guide the soul ring and soul bone.
However, as soon as his spiritual power landed on the soul ring, he immediately felt an extremely strong repulsive force erupting from it. Clearly, this was the will of the Evil Emperor, which was currently repelling Xuan Mo's spiritual power.
However, this obviously wouldn't cause Xuan Mo much trouble. If the Evil Emperor were still alive, Xuan Mo might not be his match. But now that it's dead, and considering Xuanmo's spiritual power is among the top in the entire continent, drawing upon its spirit rings and spirit bones shouldn't be a problem.
So, increasing his spiritual power output, Xuanmo guided its spirit rings and spirit bones, drawing them around him.
A 100,000-year spirit ring with seven golden patterns!
Among all of Xuanmo's spirit rings, apart from the eighth and ninth spirit rings given by the Silver Dragon King and Earth Dragon King, the age of all the other spirit rings is inferior to that of the Evil Emperor's spirit ring. It can be said that, apart from those two, this spirit ring surpasses all others.
Therefore, now that the Evil Emperor has actually transformed into a spirit ring, this is naturally a cause for celebration for Xuanmo.
Just as Xuan Mo sat down cross-legged, preparing to absorb the soul ring, Di Tian, who had been silent beside him, suddenly moved. He reached out to stop him, saying seriously, "Wait a minute."
"What is it, Senior Di Tian?"
Di Tian frowned slightly and said, "Absorbing the Evil Emperor's soul ring now might cause some problems." He then glanced at Xuan Mo, "I ask you, what is the limit of your devouring power?"
"This..." Xuan Mo knew that Di Tian wouldn't speak without reason, after all, he had never absorbed a soul ring of the Evil Emperor's level before. He quickly stopped and waited for Di Tian to explain. At the same time, he had a guess in his heart, it was probably related to his devouring ability.
Di Tian said, "Do you know how strong the Evil Emperor is? He cultivated for over 700,000 years, and his total soul power far exceeds that of a Peerless Douluo. If your devouring power limit can't accommodate that much, then once you absorb the Evil Emperor's soul ring, you might face a situation where the energy in your body is too vast, unable to be released or absorbed, which could put you in mortal danger." Upon hearing this, Xuan Mo's expression couldn't help but tremble.
He suddenly remembered that in his previous life, after Tang San hunted down the Deep Sea Demon Whale King, he absorbed its spirit ring. However, the energy was given to the Shrek Six Devils and Bai Chenxiang because of the immense spirit power.
