"You're truly a good father!"
Chen Ming's mouth twitched. While casually fending off the Evil Emperor's sneak attacks and mental assaults, Chen Ming reached the Evil Emperor and sent a telepathic message.
He had initially assumed that some things could be discussed in secret, not openly.
Unexpectedly, the Evil Emperor, like a frightened rabbit, not only desperately resisted with his mental power, but his enormous eyes lit up, a surge of mental energy briefly ripping through space, teleporting him thousands of meters away.
"Evil Eye Domain! Mental Blast!"
The Evil Emperor twisted his body and roared. His immense mental power combined with his soul power, creating a vast domain. Under the powerful mental distortion, all free soul power within the domain came under the control of the Evil Emperor, infinitely weakening the activity of all elements. A near-vacuum of soul power surrounded Chen Ming.
Then, his mental power shot out, transforming his invisible spirit into tangible physical destruction, shaking the space around Chen Ming, seemingly preparing to physically rip him to shreds. Seeing that words were futile, Chen Ming abandoned his original plan and directly opened his own domain, colliding with the Evil Emperor.
"Elemental Domain!"
The Death Poison Realm preferred group attacks, so Chen Ming chose to unleash the elemental domain he had acquired from the Seven-Colored Lotus Spirit Master. With his mental power, he shattered the Evil Emperor's control over the elements of heaven and earth. He mobilized the various attributes of heaven and earth to tear a vast rift within the Evil Eye's domain, creating a region of infinite elemental activity.
Chen Ming combined the three attributes of fire, thunder, and destruction, then activated them, forming a blazing white beam. Guided by his mental power, it shot straight at the Evil Emperor's vast eye.
While not a peak attribute, under Chen Ming's control, this combined special attribute possessed far greater destructive power than any single peak attribute alone, instantly ripping even the body of a ferocious beast apart and annihilating it under the impact.
Despite possessing the Thorn Halo's ability to counterattack, the Evil Emperor, after a thousandth of a second, decided to risk mobilizing his mental energy to rip through space and transmit it over short distances, rather than risk using his flesh, imbued with the Thorn Halo, to test this unprecedented property.
He dodged as best he could, using the power of space to shift his body, but the incandescent beam was too swift for him to completely avoid. Several tentacles, unable to retract in time, were instantly severed by the beam, falling heavily to the ground. The
sheer force of the attack robbed the Evil Emperor of any pain, and due to the carbonization of the wounds, not a single drop of blood was shed. Only after the tentacles hit the ground did he realize he was missing a limb.
If it weren't for the fact that, as the Evil Eye, the Evil Emperor lacked sweat glands, he would have been sweating profusely.
"Want to continue the conversation?"
Chen Ming said as he manipulated the elemental realm, casually conjuring up illusory fire dragons. Creatures formed from extreme flames attacked the Evil Emperor without hesitation, forcing him to use various methods to resist.
"What are you talking about? Are you saying you want to absorb my son and not me?"
The Evil Emperor's large eyes were filled with alarm, his tentacles dancing wildly. The previously enveloping Evil Eye domain was dispelled, and in its place, he used his mental power to create a mental force field around his body to defend against Chen Ming's attacks. Within him, his soul power was energized to its fullest, his ultimate killer moves, the Light of Spacetime and the Light of Destruction, already at the ready.
Centuries ago, in response to his impending eighth heavenly tribulation, he pursued news of a so-called million-year soul beast to Douluo Continent and engaged in battle with the Beast God Emperor Tian. Despite confirming the existence of the million-year soul beast, he was forced to retreat due to his inferior strength to Emperor Tian.
While his own killer move, the Light of Spacetime, inflicted considerable damage on the Beast God Emperor Tian, Emperor Tian's Dragon God Claw was equally damaging to the Evil Emperor. Furthermore, compared to Emperor Tian, with his powerful dragon-like physique, the Evil Emperor was significantly weaker.
Even after hundreds of years, and despite the superficial healing of his injuries, the last vestiges of the Dragon God Claw's power remained firmly entrenched within him, limiting him to only about 90% of his full potential. Even attempting to unleash his two ultimate killer moves would inevitably require a significant delay.
For a warrior of his own level, or even a level higher, this delay would be enough to react several times over.
Even though he had been the one to initiate the fight, simply failing to defeat him, at this moment, the Evil Emperor couldn't help but curse Di Tian inwardly.
"You're such a cruel father!"
"Nonsense! Without me, there wouldn't be a son. I've protected him from all odds for so many years. Isn't it worth his sacrifice? I'm the Lord of the Evil Eye, the king among the Evil Eye tyrants, the ancestor and protector of the Evil Eye clan. The Evil Eye clan can't live without me!"
The Evil Emperor replied confidently, completely oblivious to the possibility that his other descendants could hear him.
"Really? I was originally thinking of inviting you to join me on my path to godhood. But now that the Evil Eye Clan needs you so much, I'll probably find someone else. It looks like your next heavenly tribulation is approaching anyway. Once I become a god, I'll watch you being struck down by lightning from the divine realm."
"By the way, if you do anything unbecoming of your status, like taking over the body of a descendant, I'll continue to warn the heavenly tribulation. Although I'm not the God of Thunder, my relationship with him is very close."
"Human, you win." After hearing this, the Evil Emperor's tentacles drooped limply. "Tell me about your so-called path to godhood."
"Have you heard of wisdom spirit rings?"
Chen Ming asked, inviting the Evil Emperor to a private chat, sending his thoughts through a mental link. After reviewing this basic plan and briefly verifying it in his mind, the Evil Emperor was surprised to find that this seemingly impossible path was actually quite feasible.
To dispel the last shred of doubt in the Evil Emperor's heart, Chen Ming summoned the Ascension Dragon Sword and released the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger, which had been dormant within the sword, absorbing its power. After parading it before the Evil Emperor, demonstrating its current form, he retracted the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger, which had been preparing to engage in a fight, back into the sword.
