Chapter 96: Blue Silver Emperor in Hand, Encounter with Dark Demon Evil God Tiger
That night, Davis issued an order: the soldiers in the barracks were to form squads of ten, disguise themselves as villagers, and sneak into the border mountains and surrounding areas of the Heaven Dou Empire under the cover of night to completely wipe out the entrenched wolf bandits.
At the same time, a reward was announced: any soldier who returned with the head of a wolf bandit would be given ten gold soul coins. Moreover, the team that killed the most wolf bandits would receive an additional reward of one hundred gold soul coins.
As soon as the soldiers heard about the possibility of earning a hundred gold soul coins, they became instantly excited—like chickens injected with adrenaline—and set out that very night for the border mountains.
Davis also disguised himself and flew overnight to Holy Soul Village. Though Holy Soul Village wasn't located near the Catastrophe Mountains, Davis still traveled there non-stop. It took him a full week to arrive.
Surrounded by lush green mountains, Holy Soul Village had only a single road leading northwest to Notting City. Other than that, it was enveloped by pine trees and rich vegetation.
Hovering in the sky above Holy Soul Village, Davis noticed that the villagers weren't farming. Instead, they were gathered in front of an abandoned temple. A group of middle-aged villagers were nervously praying, some even kneeling at the temple's entrance.
"Is this the Spirit Hall's deacon here to awaken the spirits of the village children?" Davis muttered to himself. He wondered whether he'd get a chance to see the legendary blind Douluo, Su Yuntao.
But he wasn't interested in Su Yuntao, and since he had secretly infiltrated the Heaven Dou Empire, being discovered could cause unnecessary complications.
So, after watching for a moment, he quietly left the village and flew off into the surrounding mountains and forests.
For the next three days, Davis searched in the wilderness. Thanks to his flying ability, he eventually found a secluded waterfall hidden in the mountains.
Gazing at the rushing water, Davis finally understood the poem: "A waterfall plunges three thousand feet—as if the Milky Way fell from the heavens."
"Ice and Fire Evil Eyes!"
With a flash in his eyes, Davis activated his spiritual ability. Instantly, his gaze pierced through the waterfall and the rock wall behind it. A trace of shock flickered in his eyes.
With the help of his spiritual power, he could see it clearly—there was a hidden passage behind the waterfall, and he could sense the fluctuation of soul power from within.
And the fluctuation was strong. There was no doubt: this was the resting place of the Blue Silver Emperor.
However, Davis didn't charge in recklessly. He stayed vigilant, scanning his surroundings cautiously, fearing that Tang Hao might be lying in ambush. A single blow from a Titled Douluo like Tang Hao would be fatal.
Even though Davis possessed the world's number one beast spirit, he was still just a quasi–Soul Emperor—no match for someone of Tang Hao's level.
Even if Tang Hao didn't activate his martial spirit, Davis still couldn't beat him. Just look at Zhao Wuji as proof!
Once he was sure there were no enemies nearby, Davis flew into the cave and scanned the interior with his Ice and Fire Evil Eyes.
Finally, he found it: deep inside the hidden passage was a wilted Blue Silver Emperor. Nearby was a secret compartment, and inside it lay the right leg bone of the Blue Silver Emperor.
Davis immediately retrieved the soul bone—the very one he had dreamed of. After just a glance, he quickly stored it in his soul guide ring.
Then, he carefully dug out the Blue Silver Emperor, roots and all, and held it up in front of him with a burning gaze.
Sensing his malicious intent, the Blue Silver Emperor's leaves trembled slightly, as if trying to flee. But it was futile—it could only submit in Davis's hands.
"Haha… Mrs. Yin, from now on, both your body and soul belong to me!"
"Mrs. Yin, you wouldn't want anything to happen to your husband and son, would you? Well then, it'll depend on your performance."
Davis fondled the Blue Silver Emperor and left the waterfall, happily thinking about how to deal with her.
First of all, he couldn't allow her to transform—at least not before dealing with Tang San. Once Ah Yin regained her human form, with her personality, she would surely seek out Tang Hao and Tang San, which Davis couldn't allow.
If transformation was off the table, then the only remaining option was to strip the Blue Silver Emperor of her cultivation.
There were two possible approaches:
1. Let the Blue Silver Emperor grow into a 100,000-year soul beast, then extract her soul rings and soul bones.
2. Directly absorb her spiritual essence now.
Anna's first soul skill could absorb the blood and spirit power of any plant-type soul beast, and that included the Blue Silver Emperor.
If Anna absorbed the Blue Silver Emperor's essence, her Black Jade Divine Grass might awaken again—perhaps even unlocking the Blue Silver Domain.
But in doing so, the Blue Silver Emperor would be wasted.
Alternatively, if Davis brought her to the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, he could accelerate her cultivation and raise her to the 100,000-year level, enabling mass production of soul rings and soul bones—but this route would take time.
"I'm so conflicted!"
After some thought, Davis came up with a compromise: he would extract some of the Blue Silver Emperor's original blood, let her recover, and extract it again. A long-term plan—but a sustainable one.
With that, Davis soared into the sky and headed back toward the Star Luo Empire.
During the flight, he took out the Blue Silver Emperor's right leg bone. This soul bone was meant for Anna, but he didn't plan to give it to her just yet.
Her cultivation had recently soared too quickly. While that was good in theory, her soul power was likely unstable and hollow. In battle, this would mean rapid depletion—a major weakness.
So Davis decided to let her train steadily for a while. Once her foundation was solid, then he'd present her with the soul bone and give her strength a real leap forward.
"ROAR—ROAR—ROAR!"
As he passed over the border mountains, Davis suddenly heard a deafening tiger roar. He instantly descended to check out the source of the sound.
What he saw shocked him.
More than a hundred wolf bandits were surrounding a tiger as black as ink.
The tiger was over eight meters long, with wings on its back and bulging muscles across its enormous frame. It looked to weigh at least three thousand kilograms. Its blood-red eyes radiated a dark and terrifying aura.
Even the word "king" on its forehead was pitch black—a smoky, shadow-like black, distinct from the fur's darkness.
But the most bizarre part was its tail: much longer than a normal tiger's, segmented with countless joints, and ending in a massive barbed hook, gleaming with a cold, ghostly light.
The black tiger casually bit off the head of a wolf bandit, silently savoring the flesh. A flicker of excitement shone in its blood-red eyes—it clearly enjoyed the taste.
Despite witnessing the brutal death of their comrade, none of the wolf bandits dared to speak. Behind the black tiger lay over a dozen mangled corpses.
"That soul beast is the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger!"
The moment Davis laid eyes on the creature, he lit up with excitement. This was the top-tier soul beast he had been searching for—the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger!
According to legend, the evil god once descended upon a white tiger, mutating its original light attributes into dark attributes. The result was this terrifying being, complete with black wings of corruption—the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger!
Davis grinned.
"I never imagined I'd meet it here."
