Douluo Continent II: The Dragon King Suppresses the World!

Chapter 75 Challenging the Evil Emperor

Sunset Forest, the eye of ice and fire.

At this moment, Ye Qi'an was sitting cross-legged on the ground at the junction of the Cold Spring and the Sun Spring, his eyes lightly closed. The left leg bone of the Ice and Fire Dragon King quietly appeared. What he had to do was absorb the remaining power of the Ice and Fire Dragon King. Ye Xiyao was sitting cross-legged on the shore, adjusting her mental power that had surged due to absorbing the Heart of Qiluo.

Around the Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire, spiritual energy surged like a vortex. The left leg bone of the Ice and Fire Dragon King was frantically absorbing spiritual energy. As the spiritual energy from the Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire continued to pour in, Ye Qi'an could clearly feel the connection between his left leg bone and his body becoming increasingly close. That powerful force circulated through his meridians, constantly strengthening his body. His aura also became more and more stable, as if he had become one with the surrounding environment.

The continuous loss of spiritual energy indirectly caused the original red and blue colors of the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well to dim considerably. As time went on, the spring water became extremely transparent. The Ice and Fire Dragon King's left leg bone gradually slowed down its absorption of spiritual energy. Ye Qi'an's body was now radiating a dazzling light, and his aura became even stronger.

After the sixth seal was broken, Ye Qi'an's soul power level increased by about five levels with the help of Xue Di's 700,000 years of cultivation. Most of Xue Di's cultivation level became the driving force for breaking the sixth seal. Otherwise, his soul power level would definitely be higher than this. However, even so, after absorbing the previous bead and the dragon bone of the Ice and Fire Dragon King from all the spiritual energy of the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well, his soul power remained steadily at level sixty-nine.

"Brother, where are we going next?" Ye Xiyao opened her eyes and asked Ye Qi'an.

Ye Qi'an slowly opened his eyes, the light around him gradually receding. He gently exhaled and said, "Go to the Demon Forest to challenge the Evil Emperor, but before that, Xi Yao, I will send you back to the Star Dou Great Forest."

Ye Xiyao was slightly taken aback, her eyes showing reluctance. "Brother, why are you sending me back to the Star Dou Great Forest? I want to go with you."

Ye Qi'an looked at Ye Xiyao tenderly and said softly, "The Evil Emperor's strength is almost the same as Di Tian's. My trip there is fraught with risks, and I can't spare the time to protect you. The Star Dou Great Forest is relatively safe. You can wait for me to come back there."

Ye Xiyao bit her lip, feeling a thousand reluctances in her heart, but still nodded, "Alright, brother, you must be careful."

Ye Qi'an nodded, then summoned the Heavenly Punishment Sword, "Sword Two—Piercing the Void!"

A dazzling sword light flashed, and the space in front of the two was instantly torn open with a huge rift.

"From here, Xiyao, you will arrive directly at the Star Dou Great Forest. Remember, if your sister Nana asks about our situation at the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, just say it's a secret."

Ye Qi'an gently stroked Ye Xiyao's hair, and after speaking, he gently pushed her, and Ye Xiyao slowly walked into the spatial rift. Watching Ye Xiyao's figure disappear into the space, Ye Qi'an withdrew his gaze, turned around and faced the direction of the Demon Forest, the Heavenly Punishment Sword in his hand flashing with light.

"Evil Eye Tyrant, today I will meet you."

Ye Qi'an flashed and turned to rush towards the Demon Forest.

At this moment, after Ye Xiyao emerged from the spatial rift, she indeed arrived at the Star Dou Great Forest. Deep within the Star Dou Great Forest, Gu Yuena seemed to sense the spatial fluctuations. She frowned slightly, wondering who had come to the Star Dou Great Forest. When she saw Ye Xiyao's figure, a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes.

"Xi Yao, why are you back? Where is your brother?" Gu Yuena came to Ye Xi Yao's side and asked softly.

Remembering her brother's instructions, Ye Xiyao bit her lip and said, "Sister Nana, my brother told me to keep our situation at the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well a secret."

Gu Yuena paused slightly, then smiled helplessly. "Alright, since your brother says so, I won't ask anymore. But, where did your brother go?"

Ye Xiyao hesitated for a moment, then said, "Brother went to the Demon Forest to challenge the Evil Emperor."

Gu Yuena's expression changed. "What? How could he be so reckless? The Evil Emperor is extremely powerful. Your brother's trip is far too risky."

Ye Xiyao lowered her head, her hands tightly clasped together. "I believe my brother will definitely be able to defeat the Evil Emperor."

Gu Yuena sighed softly and patted Ye Xiyao's head. "I hope so. Xiyao, you stay here and cultivate peacefully until your brother returns. I will also keep a close eye on the Demon Forest, and if anything happens, I will take action as soon as possible."

Ye Xiyao looked up at Gu Yuena, nodded and said, "I understand, Sister Nana, I will wait for my brother to come back together."

Gu Yuena nodded slightly. Although she looked calm, she was actually full of worries. Meanwhile, Ye Qi'an had been flying northwest from Sunset Forest for a full six hours. In the distance, a large forest had come into view.

Looking from the air, one can see that there are many dark gray branches and leaves in this coniferous forest, a huge, dark mass. Even before entering it, a sense of oppression surges forth.

The Demon Forest! Without a doubt, Ye Qi'an had reached his destination. He retracted the dragon wings on his back, slowly descended from the sky to the ground, and without stopping to rest, he immediately plunged into the forest, heading straight for the central area of ​​this great forest.

This is confidence—confidence in one's own abilities.

His mental energy instantly covered the Demon Forest. The density of soul beasts here was almost comparable to that of the Star Dou Great Forest. In order to avoid unnecessary battles and wasting time, Ye Qi'an directly released the bloodline pressure originating from the Golden Dragon King.

Ye Qi'an did not excessively control his aura, but released it fully. On the one hand, it was to suppress the lower-level soul beasts, and on the other hand, it was to lure out the Evil Emperor. He advanced almost in a straight line into the Demon Forest. Soon, he had already passed through the outer perimeter of the Demon Forest. The strength of the surrounding soul beasts also began to increase. However, in the face of the Golden Dragon King's bloodline, these soul beasts still avoided him.

"Evil Emperor, come out and fight!" Ye Qi'an's voice echoed through the Demon Forest, carrying boundless majesty.

At this moment, the Demon Forest seemed to be shaken by this roar. The leaves rustled, and the atmosphere became extremely tense. Just then, the entire space seemed to tremble violently, and a terrifying spiritual force descended from the sky. A deep, majestic, and cold voice echoed in the air.

"Who dares to disturb my slumber?"

As the deep voice rang out, the sky began to distort and then turned completely dark. The pitch-black clouds slowly split open to both sides, as if the entire sky had been ripped apart. A giant eye appeared in mid-air, its gaze fixed on Ye Qi'an's location.

Ye Qi'an looked up at the enormous eye, his eyes showing no fear, but rather a thirst for battle. "Evil Emperor, today I have come specifically to challenge you."

"You ignorant human, how dare you challenge me? Today I will make sure you never return!" The powerful voice of the Evil Eye Tyrant rang out.

Immediately afterwards, a dark red beam of light, over a hundred feet in diameter, suddenly descended from the sky, enveloping Ye Qi'an.

"Arrogant!" Ye Qi'an roared, and the Heavenly Punishment Sword in his hand shone brightly. He swung it with all his might, and a dazzling sword light shot into the sky, colliding violently with the dark red light.

In an instant, light shone everywhere, and powerful energy waves spread outwards. Ye Qi'an's body trembled slightly, but he still stood firmly in place.

"You call yourself an Evil Emperor with this kind of strength? You're nothing special. You should prepare to die!" Ye Qi'an said as he crouched down slightly, then suddenly leaped into the air, and at the same time, the Golden Dragon King Martial Soul instantly possessed him.

When Ye Qi'an spread his dragon wings and flew into the air, he finally saw the true form of the Evil Eye Tyrant. His body was extremely large, a giant eye with a diameter of more than 300 meters. Around the terrifying giant eye were 81 tentacles, each more than 500 meters long, waving in the air. Behind his huge body was a dark red ocean of soul power.

The Evil Eye Tyrant's enormous eyes stared at Ye Qi'an, its deep voice echoing throughout the space: "You are powerful, you are the only one who can contend with my spiritual power, but... you must die!"

"Coincidentally, you too must die, and you too must become nourishment for my advancement!" Ye Qi'an's words were full of domineering power and determination.

"His demeanor is quite good, but his strength is ultimately lacking."

As soon as the Evil Eye Tyrant finished speaking, the eighty-one tentacles began to wave incessantly in the air, distorting the air once more. Powerful spiritual energy reverberated in the air, and overwhelming pressure reappeared.

"It's been a long time since anyone dared to speak to me like that. Very well! Well then, today I'll see just how capable you are, you arrogant brat." With that, the eighty-one tentacles of the Evil Eye Tyrant instantly turned crimson red and lashed out at Ye Qi'an from all directions.

Ye Qi'an's eyes narrowed, and his dragon wings flapped suddenly. His figure moved like lightning through the air, dodging the tentacles that came crashing down like a storm. The Heavenly Punishment Sword shone brightly in his hand, ready to strike the approaching tentacles at any moment.

Just then, several tentacles attacked from a tricky direction. Ye Qian dodged one of them with a quick movement, but as he dodged, another tentacle was already right in front of him.

"cut!"

Ye Qi'an shouted, and the Heavenly Punishment Sword in his hand shone brightly, slashing fiercely at the tentacle that was so close at hand. The sword light collided with the tentacle, and then the sword light severed the tentacle.

The Evil Eye Tyrant let out a miserable cry. He hadn't expected that Ye Qi'an would so easily sever a section of his tentacle.

"Human, you're courting death!" The Evil Eye Tyrant was instantly enraged. Its enormous pupils suddenly turned deep, and then a dark red halo of thorns appeared on its outer edge.

"Buzz—" The sky seemed to shake violently.

Ye Qi'an felt as if thousands of sharp thorns were piercing his sea of ​​consciousness, as if his sea of ​​consciousness was about to be taken away.

"Your thorny halo is interesting, but unfortunately, my sea of ​​spirit is not so easily breached." Ye Qi'an's lips curled up slightly, revealing a confident smile. He quickly circulated his soul power to stabilize his sea of ​​spirit, easily resisting the mental attack of the Evil Eye Tyrant.

"Golden Dragon Shockwave!" Ye Qi'an shouted. In an instant, the surging Golden Dragon King blood energy within his body surged like a rushing river, and his powerful soul energy also surged. A terrifying power erupted from his body, and the air began to vibrate violently around him.

The shockwave spread outwards like a surging tide, causing the space to tremble wherever it passed. The massive body of the Evil Eye Tyrant was also enveloped by this power, and its eighty-one tentacles shook violently in the shockwave, as if they would break at any moment.

The Evil Eye Tyrant felt this powerful force and was startled. It tried to resist with its mental power, but the power of the shockwave far exceeded its imagination. The powerful impact caused its body to retreat continuously, and a look of shock appeared in its huge eyes.

The shockwave lasted for a moment before gradually subsiding. Although the Evil Eye Tyrant's body was enormous, it was still significantly injured by this attack, and its dark red sea of ​​soul power became turbulent.

It must be said that the tentacles of the Evil Eye Tyrant Overlord were indeed powerful. They were not completely destroyed by this attack, but only sprayed out streams of purple blood.

"You are not human. Humans do not possess such powerful blood and qi as you." The Evil Eye Tyrant scrutinized Ye Qi'an before him, all his tentacles rising up simultaneously.

Ye Qi'an's eyes were icy, and a slight sneer appeared on his lips. "How could you possibly fathom the power of this king? Evil Emperor, today is your death day."

After saying that, Ye Qi'an raised the Heavenly Punishment Sword again. The sword shone brightly, as if it would illuminate the entire space. The aura of the Golden Dragon King on his body became stronger and stronger, and the powerful pressure made the surrounding air heavy.

The reason he dared to challenge the Evil Emperor, whose cultivation had reached 790,000 years, at the Soul Emperor level was entirely because, with the blessing of 60% of the power of the Life Core, his strength was already the strongest existence on the Douluo Continent. How could a mere Evil Emperor dare to contend with a plane? The reason he didn't instantly kill the Evil Emperor was because the Dragon God Core had not yet completely covered the Demon Forest.

The Evil Eye Tyrant felt a terrifying aura emanating from Ye Qi'an, and a strong sense of unease welled up in its heart. It had never encountered such a powerful opponent before. Even when facing Di Tian, ​​it had never been so nervous. Now, however, it felt a deep fear from a human. But as the Evil Emperor, how could it easily submit?

Its enormous eyes flashed with fury, and its eighty-one tentacles began to twitch once more, while the dark red ocean of soul power began to churn.

"Human, don't be so arrogant! Even if I die today, I'll take you down with me."
