demonic tree gradually turned red, establishing a connection with the Evil God clone.
With Chen Ming's support, the Evil God clone provided blood equivalent to several times its own body weight, transforming the magic spear into a dark red. Chen Ming then continuously performed hand seals, visualizing various images in his mind, and mobilizing the divine power of the God of Sin, integrating the nascent magic spear into the Evil God clone's body.
The Evil God clone had been formed for some time, but Chen Ming's presence was not strong. This was primarily because, unlike the Ascending Dragon Sword, the Evil God clone was more independent, a semi-independent entity rather than a semi-independent martial spirit, its soul power calculated independently.
While this certainly contributed to the Evil God clone's low presence in the early stages, it also meant that, as an independent entity, the Evil God clone could also acquire a second martial spirit, just like Chen Ming.
This sinful artifact was the second martial soul Chen Ming had prepared for the Evil God clone. Much like the Ascending Dragon Sword created by the Angel God, it would first be injected into the Evil God clone to enhance its integration, then further refined and transformed into a special second martial soul.
Although only a prototype artifact had been created—more like a spear shaft than a spear—it was still a feat only a few could achieve.
Chen Ming spent the following time sorting through the Evil Emperor's treasury, searching for items he might need himself or those his confidants might need. Among the numerous rare medicinal herbs, Chen Ming even discovered several clearly stunted immortal herbs.
Due to their poor development, these immortal herbs hadn't been discovered by the Evil Emperor, who lacked any plant-based knowledge, and were simply planted in a patch of ground, barely surviving. Due to the poor growing conditions, their medicinal properties completely failed to live up to their quality. However, if the Yin-Yang Eyes of Ice and Fire were retrieved and carefully cultivated, they might be able to recover.
Half a day later, Chen Ming's seven or eight storage soul guides were full, forcing him to use his metal hands to create several more in the Evil Emperor's lair to store the treasures.
The mountain of golden crystals, which Chen Ming carefully placed in a storage bag, he decided to have his subordinates work overtime to create invincibility shields upon his return. It would be best if he could provide more for his staff and one for each of his technicians.
However, while searching for items, Chen Ming also came across numerous human artifacts in the Evil Emperor's lair. They were in excellent condition, with little to no weathering. They didn't look like they had been abandoned by humans or obtained through violent means, but rather like direct human sacrifices.
The Evil Emperor honestly answered Chen Ming's questions, stating that these items were indeed presented to him by humans.
The royal ancestor of the Evil Eye Empire was actually a remnant of a 100,000-year-old Evil Eye. Its founding was aided by the Evil Eye's ferocious beasts and the Evil Emperor, hoping to foster faith in the Evil Emperor among humanity and thereby cultivate a deity.
However, it was later revealed that the inability of soul beasts to attain deity was due to a law-based issue, not a specific race's source of faith. Even though the Evil Emperor was worshipped as a totem and patron deity, the deity remained unconquered. The power of faith constantly gathered around him, yet it could not be absorbed by him. In
the eyes of the Evil Eye Empire's royal family, the Demon Forest has always been the ancestral land of the Evil Eye Empire, and the Evil Eye clan its totem.
Many of the various metals and treasures found there were also offerings from the Evil Eye Empire's royal family.
However, as the Evil Eye Empire's royal bloodline grew thinner, and its spirits mutated from the Evil Eye into other subspecies, the relationship between the Evil Eye Empire and the Evil Emperor grew increasingly distant. For the past century, the Evil Emperor had ignored the Evil Eye Empire, and the Evil Eye Empire had refrained from further dealings with the Demonic Forest.
Aside from paying the required annual tribute, the Evil Eye Empire had done its utmost to disassociate itself from the Evil Emperor. The Evil Emperor was even considering teaching these ungrateful individuals a lesson.
Chen Ming nodded, understanding somewhat. He felt that perhaps, after dealing with the Evil Eye Empire, it could provide him with a significant amount of faith. After all,
just as the Blue Silver Grass worshipped the Blue Silver Emperor, and the Blue Silver Emperor worshipped him, thus earning him the Blue Silver Emperor's devotion, a primary deity could extract a percentage from its subordinates. Furthermore, this percentage could reach a considerable level, making consuming 90% a no-brainer.
After dealing with the treasures, Chen Ming would begin processing the spirit beasts. After all, he would have to return to Douluo Continent, waiting for the crucial moment to strike at Tang San and derail the Shura God's plans.
Among the soul beasts that rebelled against the Evil Emperor and were subsequently slain, the oldest was the Evil Emperor's eldest son, with 390,000 years of cultivation. Due to the low probability of surviving the fourth heavenly tribulation, he had become extremely restless in the last few thousand years and had harbored the idea of retaliating against the Evil Emperor.
In addition, there were two ferocious-level Evil Eyes, 270,000 and 230,000 years old, respectively. Both possessed purely spiritual attributes and were direct relatives of the Evil Emperor.
There were four 100,000-year-old soul beasts: the Evil Eye Demon Ape King, who had been sacrificed to the heavens, the Purple-Winged Flying Dragon King, who was destined for the throne, the Exploding Bear King, a descendant of the high-level Exploding Bear clan, and the alien soul beast, the Demonic Tentacle King.
The Exploding Bear King possessed dual fire and gold attributes, excelling in explosive destructive power and possessing excellent physical fitness. While significantly inferior to super soul beasts like the Titan Ape, he relied on his explosive power to engage in quick exchanges.
However, among the virtually non-weak 100,000-year-old soul beasts, his overall strength was relatively average. Although it is a king-class soul beast, its quality is only at the level of an ordinary top-level soul beast.
The Demon Touch King is said to be a soul beast from the deep sea. Because he disliked the faith of the Sea God and could not defeat the Sea God and the relationship between the Sea God Island, he came to the surface to survive.
As an alien soul beast, he has a very special innate ability. He can absorb other life forms and even inorganic matter through physical contact and become a part of his body. Relying on this part of the transformed body, the Demon Touch King can also use some of the abilities of the original owner, and his own vitality is extremely strong. He is one of the best soul beasts of 100,000 years.
Chen Ming carefully felt the blood of the Demon Touch King and found that this thing seemed to be a race from another world. There are laws flowing in the blood of the body that have not been completely assimilated by the Douluo Continent. According to the quality of the Douluo Continent, it is a super soul beast that has fallen from the god-level quality to the super quality.
