If the Purple-Winged Flying Dragon Emperor were to be sacrificed to some unidentified spirit master, he wouldn't budge, even if his soul were torn apart. However, if sacrificing a dragon-type spirit as a spirit ring to a god-level being could preserve his sanity, then the Purple-Winged Flying Dragon Emperor naturally wouldn't refuse.
To become part of a divine dragon was worth it, even if it meant death!
Besides, judging by the Evil Emperor's expression, it wasn't certain he would truly die.
Just as the two beast kings, the Purple-Winged Flying Dragon Emperor and the Exploding Bear King, stood in a row, Chen Ming awakened the Demonic Touch King and slapped him. Divine power penetrated the Demonic Touch King's body, forming a complex seal within it. The energy contained within that seal was even greater than that of the Demonic Touch King itself, even in its weakened state.
Under Chen Ming's control, the Demonic Touch King was forced to curl up into a ball and then fall into a deep sleep. He then tossed it into the specially crafted, red and white ball-shaped storage soul guide.
After dealing with the foreigners, the three ferocious-level Evil Eyes were awakened one by one by the Evil Emperor's powerful slap. Under the "kind" gaze of their father/great-grandfather, the three Evil Eyes, dominated by the Evil Emperor since birth, dared not resist and agreed to be transformed into strange creatures.
Although they believed that this so-called soul was a unique method of enslaving the soul, as long as it wasn't too cruel or torturous, it was better than having their souls shattered, right? It
shouldn't be too cruel, right?
The three Evil Eyes looked at the translucent Evil Emperor with trepidation, but dared not raise a single question. They actively cooperated with Chen Ming's method and were sacrificed, being transformed into three diamond-shaped crystals.
The Evil Eyes are a unique race. When their bodies are destroyed, a crystal containing the soul is left behind. Only when this crystal is shattered can they truly die. According to the Douluo Continent, this is when their soul rings are released.
Chen Ming crafted these three crystals using the properties of the Evil Eye and the soul cores within them. These are special external soul bones for the Third Eye. Not only do they possess the growth potential of ordinary external soul bones, but they can also fuse with the head soul bones, channeling a portion of their own energy into the skull bones for further growth.
Most importantly, each crystal contains a pre-made Evil Eye Tyrant soul. Upon absorbing this external soul bone, the soul automatically binds to the user, providing them with soul rings.
While these souls share the same name and function similarly to the souls in the original novel, the souls created by Chen Ming are similar yet distinct from those in the original novel. Specifically, once absorbed, they become permanently bound and cannot be released. Upon the soul master's death, the soul shatters along with the soul master.
Whether the soul scatters or enters reincarnation depends on the individual's condition.
Ultimately, this merely increases the efficiency of individual soul beasts, without considering the importance of inheritance.
Creating a soul spirit requires the consent of the soul beast, but this version of the soul spirit dies along with the soul master. Therefore, a soul beast will absolutely refuse to consent unless under extremely special circumstances. If the soul beast disagrees, a soul spirit cannot be created. It can only be described as a special technique that cannot be widely disseminated.
To spread the faith, Chen Ming once again asked the Evil Emperor to make arrangements. As the emperor ruling the Demonic Forest, the Evil Emperor quickly spread his message throughout the Demonic Forest.
Many of the fleeing soul beasts returned, or were forcibly recaptured by the Evil Eye Clan. The noble Evil Eye Tyrants arrived at the Evil Emperor's lair to pay their respects. Their leader was the Evil Emperor's fourth son, an Evil Eye Tyrant with 290,000 years of cultivation.
The Evil Emperor's second son died from the 200,000-year-old tribulation, and his third son from the 300,000-year-old tribulation. After witnessing his two older brothers being struck to pieces, the fourth son immediately launched into action, choosing to savor his remaining life as much as possible before the tribulation.
Because of his lack of ambition, he was the Evil Emperor's second favorite child in the Demonic Forest. He had spread countless bloodlines throughout the forest, even loving to interact with other species, creating numerous unique races.
According to bloodline, the Evil-Eyed Demon Ape clan was the descendant of this fourth child.
Upon seeing the Evil Emperor's translucent body, the fourth child was astonished, his emotion blurting out without a second thought.
"Great, Dad, you're not dead!"
"Huh?" Even though he knew his self-destructive youngest son was somewhat mentally retarded, the Evil Emperor still couldn't believe he could utter such unemotional remarks, as uttered by a soft-boned rabbit on the street.
Despite his discomfort, the Evil Emperor sensed that his fourth child was the one truly worried about him. Otherwise, he wouldn't have uttered such a foolish remark.
Looking at the Evil Emperor glaring at him, the Evil-Eyed Tyrant fourth child shuddered with fear, instantly realizing what he had said, tears nearly streaming from his enormous eyes.
The Evil Emperor was a responsible father, but he was definitely not benevolent. Most of the little affection he had left went to his eldest son. The fourth child, aside from a brief period of affection in his early life, had never received much affection from the Evil Emperor.
Gazing at his angry father, the fourth child expected a beating, but to his surprise, the Evil Emperor simply sighed.
"Forget it. You're the only one left who's capable. I'll forgive you, considering you're just a bit mentally challenged. To cut a long story short, I'm following a demigod on the path to godhood. Your eldest brother, sixth brother, and my great-grandson brought a group of soul beasts to my lair, hoping to steal something, but I crippled them."
"I'm leaving today. I need to sort things out before I go. From now on, you'll be the ruler of the Demonic Forest. When I ascend to the divine realm, I'll take care of you there."
"Huh?" The Fourth Brother had no idea what the Evil Emperor meant, and the Evil Emperor didn't need him to understand. He simply used his mental power to force a bunch of information into his mind. Then, ignoring him, he continued to deliver his speech.
By the time the Fourth Brother realized what was happening, he had inexplicably become the second-generation emperor of the Demonic Forest. Every hundred-thousand-year-old soul beast, even the most ferocious, had submitted to him.
Turning to look at the Evil Emperor, he discovered that his translucent tentacles were now entwined with several of the most unruly and rebellious individuals. Other tentacles were carving a massive statue into the boulder.
It was a statue whose face couldn't be seen, but for some reason, anyone who looked directly at it felt a deep sense of fear, as if they were being held captive by some indescribable presence.
