Chapter 209: The Second Fierce Beast: The Evil Emperor
"It's time to absorb the tenth god-ring."
Jiang Li felt the dense soul power in the air and directly took out the soul ring he had previously purchased from the system.
This god-given soul ring had no time limit. In theory, as long as his body's strength was sufficient, the ring's age could continuously increase.
He was curious to see how high a level soul ring he could absorb with this opportunity.
"Boom!"
Jiang Li sat cross-legged in the void. The moment he crushed the golden god-given soul ring, a vast energy surged into his body.
In the blink of an eye, the soul ring's color changed to red, with a ten-thousand-year age appearing. The golden patterns on it also quickly multiplied.
Within moments, the age of the soul ring directly increased to a million years.
"This is a million-year soul ring?"
The people below saw Jiang Li begin to absorb the god-level soul ring and all looked on eagerly to see what level he could absorb.
When they saw the soul ring change to a ten-thousand-year ring in the blink of an eye, they were left speechless.
After all, absorbing a ten-thousand-year soul ring required extreme caution, even for Title Douluo. Who would have thought that this person's body strength was so terrifying that he could instantly make the god-given soul ring reach the ten-thousand-year level?
Everyone gazed at the golden soul ring, and they couldn't help but think back to when Tang San absorbed the million-year soul ring thousands of years ago, which was also of this color.
As the soul ring's age continued to increase, Jiang Li noticed that the nine extreme powers inside his body cleverly merged with the soul ring.
As time passed, the color of the soul ring became more and more dazzling.
"Almost there."
At one point, Jiang Li let out a deep breath, and a more dazzling light radiated from his body. The tenth soul ring completely transformed into a unique nine-colored ring.
This soul ring's age also reached five million years.
After absorbing the soul ring and stabilizing his strength, Jiang Li didn't linger in the sky but instead vanished in an instant, returning to the Starry Sky Auction House to familiarize himself with his upgraded self.
After Jiang Li left, the people below remained silent for a long time, unable to calm down. This was the most shocking scene in tens of thousands of years.
"Tianmeng, the color of this million-year soul ring is different."
Huo Yuhao stared at the nine-colored tenth soul ring on Jiang Li's body, his eyes full of curiosity.
"Indeed, it's different. A million-year soul ring absorbed by Tang San thousands of years ago was blue-gold, and the one I gave you was platinum. I've never heard of a nine-colored million-year soul ring. However, this person's soul ring color is a perfect blend of his nine powers, combining perfectly with his soul power, which is why the million-year soul ring appears nine-colored."
Tianmeng Ice Silkworm gazed at the soul ring, also astonished.
The soul ring's age far exceeded three million years, and he couldn't imagine how a human soul master's body strength could reach such a level.
In the Evil Spirit Forest of the Sun Moon Empire.
In the depths of the forest, a strong evil aura pervaded the air.
In the deepest part of a huge cave, a bizarre soul beast floated.
This was a massive eye-shaped soul beast over three hundred meters long, with giant tentacles. Around its body were eighty-one tentacles, each more than five hundred meters long.
If Jiang Li were here, he would immediately recognize this soul beast as the Evil Emperor, the second-ranked of the ten great fierce beasts, whose body was the Evil Eye Tyrant Monarch.
The Evil Emperor's clan resided in the Evil Spirit Forest, and he was the strongest in the forest. He was also the most powerful soul beast of the Sun Moon Empire, revered as a totem and had a cooperative relationship with the Spirit Hall.
The Evil Emperor's cultivation was close to 800,000 years, with terrifying mental power. His ultimate move, "Time and Space Light," even made the Beast God Di Tian wary.
Later, the Evil Emperor became the ninth soul ring of Huo Yuhao's Spiritual Eye Martial Soul and one of the Seven Gods.
"I've been in slumber for decades, and now a true god has emerged among the human soul masters. What has happened to Douluo Continent?"
The Evil Emperor came outside the cave and gazed at the sky with a solemn expression.
It was the aura of ascension that had awakened him.
He had witnessed Jiang Li use absolute strength to crush the thunder tribulation and ascend to godhood, and he was deeply shocked.
Becoming a god was a realm he had long yearned for, and his slumber was meant to overcome the next great tribulation.
The Evil Emperor called upon his clan members to learn about the changes in the human soul master world.
Listening to his clan's reports, the Evil Emperor thought deeply. "The Starry Sky Auction House? Douluo Continent has produced such a force. It seems that while I've been in seclusion, something big has indeed happened."
"Even Di Tian has gone there. The Starry Sky Auction House might have treasures that can help me break through. In that case, I'll also visit the next auction and witness a force that can produce a god-level powerhouse."
The Evil Emperor muttered to himself as he returned to the cave, preparing to head to the Starry Sky Auction House.
In the Divine Realm.
At the core of the Divine Realm, four gods—Life, Destruction, Good, and Evil—presided.
"What do you all think of this person?"
The King of Destruction gazed into the distance, speaking softly.
The new god-level powerhouse on Douluo Continent naturally caught their attention, especially since this person created a god position with his own strength, establishing it through absolute power, not relying on the power of faith.
The difficulty of creating one's own god position was as difficult as ascending to heaven, but once successful, the strength would be immense.
Especially when that human soul master merged nine extreme powers and released the nine-colored divine light, even the gods themselves felt a sense of unease.
After all, he had just reached the 100-level, while they had already ruled the god king realm for years.
Even so, the power still made them uneasy.
"He should be the one behind the Starry Sky Auction House. It was he who caused Tang San to fall. We can't afford to underestimate the forces behind him," said the King of Good.
"I once infiltrated the Starry Sky Auction House. That place is far more terrifying than we imagined. There's an aura inside that could instantly destroy me. My divine sense barely entered before being destroyed by an overwhelming force."
The King of Destruction recalled the past, his expression serious. "So I think it's best if we don't provoke the Starry Sky Auction House. With just that one force, they could easily destroy half of the divine realm. It's beyond our ability to resist."
The Starry Sky Auction House was too mysterious for them to dare challenge. They feared that if the other party got angry, they could destroy the divine realm.
After all, their power was closely linked to the divine realm, and if the divine realm were destroyed, their own strength would weaken significantly.
"But if we do nothing, they will eventually advance into the divine realm. How should we handle that?"
The King of Life added.
The King of Evil spoke up, "The treasures offered by the Starry Sky Auction House are things I've never heard of. Each one can significantly improve a soul master's strength. What's more, powerful soul beasts often go there. Over time, if the soul beasts recover their full strength, it could bring back the crises of the divine realm."
"What else can we do? Should we just attack the Starry Sky Auction House directly? Before we even get close, we'll probably be destroyed. We need to think about how to deal with the situation on Douluo Continent first," said the King of Destruction helplessly.
"As for the soul beast tribe, there's no need to worry too much. The Golden Dragon King is trapped in the divine realm, and with only the Silver Dragon King, there's no way they can cause trouble. Unless the Dragon God resurrects, there's no need to worry about it."
These words temporarily eased everyone's worries.
