In just a few brief probes, the Evil Emperor had already understood that Lin Xiao had come here not to rebuild the connection between it and the Holy Spirit Cult, but with the intention of putting it to death.
In the Evil Demon Forest, the Evil Emperor had been worshipped and offered tributes by the Holy Spirit Cult. It had never seen a human treat it with such an attitude. Moreover, it considered its own strength to be quite remarkable, having once even challenged Di Tian.
Seeing Lin Xiao and Chen Haisheng now attempting to defeat it, a nameless fury immediately rose within it.
"Mere humans—"
Its deep and powerful voice grew louder and louder, and the surrounding sea surface also rose continuously with its anger.
Compared to the Evil Emperor's enormous body, Chen Haisheng's figure could be described as insignificant. However, backed by the power of the sea, in the collision of forces, Chen Haisheng did not show too much fatigue.
Although it was only a momentary resistance, the Evil Emperor was clearly unwilling to see his power being blocked by a human whom it fundamentally looked down upon.
With another roar, dozens of tentacles wriggled up and waved continuously.
The heavenly origin force was stirred into complete chaos. In this chaos, even Lin Xiao could not distinguish for a moment how many tentacles were in front of him.
As the tentacles appeared, Chen Haisheng's figure was shaken until he staggered left and right. The Evil Emperor clearly had no intention of giving him any breathing room. On those tentacles, one eye after another opened.
Dense clusters of eyes all turned toward Chen Haisheng. Even as a Limit Douluo, he felt his scalp go numb. His mind was affected by the Evil Emperor's spiritual power, and his whole person fell into a momentary trance.
In the next instant, a pitch-black beam shot straight out from the Evil Emperor's enormous eyeball.
It was called a beam, but in reality, it was an extreme blackness. Wherever it passed, it left not a trace of anything else; even light was devoured by it. The surging seawater disappeared the instant it came into contact with that beam, and even the water vapor in the air was completely evaporated.
Chen Haisheng barely managed to urge his soul power, and another towering wave surged up from beneath the sea surface.
Unfortunately, this power did not block the Evil Emperor's attack as it had before; it was pierced straight through by that pitch-black beam.
"Brother Lin…"
Chen Haisheng had long known that the Evil Emperor was not easy to deal with, so from the very beginning, he had not come here alone. Seeing the Evil Emperor's attack coming, Chen Haisheng called out.
But before he even spoke, Lin Xiao had already made his move.
Six black and three red, nine soul rings pulsed continuously. Lin Xiao did not conceal in the slightest the extreme aura of death on his body. In the next moment, the vast sea water was instantly dyed a blood red.
No, it was not dyed blood red. Rather, countless narrow blood-red petals were mixed within the seawater, rising into the sky like silk, or like a blood-colored, long river flowing through the air.
The fifth and seventh soul rings around Lin Xiao lit up simultaneously. The seawater in the air turned into droplets that fell toward the sea surface like fine rain, while only the countless petals continued to dance upward.
His martial soul's true body was unleashed. Lin Xiao stood plucking a flower on the turbulent sea surface, as if he were standing in a sea of flowers in another world.
The sound of waves rang in his ears, not coming from the real sea surface, but as if a River of Forgetfulness had come from the netherworld. Under the irrigation of its waters, the colors of those other shore flowers became even more vivid and bright.
The first, second, and third soul rings lit up in succession, or rather, seemed to light up heavy dark-colored radiance at the same time. In an instant, streaks of dark red flowing light sank into every single one of the Evil Emperor's tentacles.
The seeds of the other shore continuously devoured the life force within the Evil Emperor's tentacles. One branch and leaf after another grew out from inside the tentacles, constantly squeezing the eyeballs on them.
Many of the eyeballs even burst open under the relentless pressure, splashing out sticky dark red fluid.
Then, a deafening roar drowned out the sound of the surrounding waves. Seawater splashed in all directions, and pieces of broken tentacle fragments scattered into the air along with the seawater.
"Roar—"
The Evil Emperor finally let out a painful screech. When the seawater fell, the Evil Emperor's body had actually become quite damaged at this moment. Countless gaps had appeared on its tentacles, and large amounts of blood gushed out from those gaps, completely dyeing the sea below red.
It was real blood red.
"Roar—"
Another screech. Even the Evil Emperor itself did not know whether it was from anger or pain. With just that one cry, on the tentacles that could still move, countless fine rays shot toward Lin Xiao from all directions, completely sealing off any gap for him to dodge.
"Brother Lin—"
It seemed like they had exchanged several moves, but in reality, it had only been within a few short breaths. Chen Haisheng, who had just let out a sigh of relief after blocking the Evil Emperor's attack, looked up and saw Lin Xiao trapped in danger.
Just as he was about to do something, dozens, no, hundreds or thousands of lights suddenly appeared around Lin Xiao. Those lights seemed to have lives of their own and completely blocked all of the Evil Emperor's attacks.
To block the Evil Emperor's attacks so precisely would naturally consume a great deal of Lin Xiao's mind if done by him alone. But don't forget, his soul tool "Starry Sky" had every single star possessing its own will.
Countless remnant souls surged out from the plane of the dead and poured into those stars.
These remnant souls were collected by Lin Xiao from the battlefield of the Continental War back then. They were originally battle-hardened warriors, and at this moment, they acted on instinct to meet the Evil Emperor's attacks.
In a place ordinary people could not see, Feng Shen and the White Tiger appeared together. Under the command of these two souls, the stars behind Lin Xiao lined up neatly like a battle formation.
Chen Haisheng, beside him had already widened his eyes.
He had heard Lin Xiao's description of the soul tool and had imagined many scenes of soul tool combat, but he had never thought that when Lin Xiao's soul tool truly appeared before him, it would bring him such a shocking feeling.
Listening to Lin Xiao's introduction, a Continental War had once occurred on land. Chen Haisheng had never seen such a scene and could not imagine for a moment what that battlefield would have looked like.
But now, from the Lin Xiao before his eyes, he seemed to see a corner of that great war.
Lin Xiao did not know what Chen Haisheng was thinking, nor did he particularly want to know. His gaze contained only the Evil Emperor before him.
Seeing that the appearance of the Starry Sky had caused the Evil Emperor's movements to hesitate for a moment, he suddenly placed his hands in front of him. The eighth soul ring around him lit up, and the blood-red radiance falling on the surrounding other shore flowers made those blossoms appear even more eerie and bewitching.
Eighth soul skill: Blood Soul Shared Sorrow.
Not far away, Chen Haisheng only felt an invisible force flowing past him, like soul power, or like spiritual power, or perhaps the complete fusion of both.
The Sea Princess mother and daughter, who were lurking beneath the sea surface as a precaution, did not even have the chance to take action before they were completely drawn in by the scene before them. They were more sensitive to spiritual fluctuations and could even more clearly feel the soul-stirring aura within it.
