Chapter 452 Evil Eye Tyrant Lord
Upon entering this place, ordinary Soul Masters will feel someone whispering in their ears.
Sometimes it sounds like crying.
Sometimes it sounds like laughter.
Sometimes it's like some unknown spirit beast lurking in the darkness.
Tang San stood at the edge of the forest and took a deep breath.
Then he laughed.
"Such a strong mental fluctuation."
"Such a strong aura of a soul beast."
"This place is more interesting than I imagined."
Behind him were three hundred elite soul masters dispatched by Xu Jingyuan.
These Soul Masters wore black Soul Guidance Armor, with small flying Soul Guidance Devices floating on their backs, and held the latest modified Rakshasa Soul Guidance Cannons in their hands.
In addition, there were dozens of heavy soul-guided vehicles, loaded with a large number of fixed-position soul-guided shells and soul-guided detectors. The leader of the team was a level nine soul master from the Sun Moon Empire named Kong Xuan.
He was originally unwilling to obey Tang San, an outsider.
But after witnessing Tang San kill the royal retainer with a single scythe, he shut up.
At this moment, Kong Xuan looked at the gloomy forest ahead and whispered:
"His Majesty instructed that once we enter the Demon Forest, we shall follow your instructions."
"However, I must remind you, sir, that Evil Eye-type Soul Beasts are extremely adept at mental attacks."
"Ordinary soul-guided shields offer limited protection against mental attacks."
Tang San said calmly:
"It's alright."
"Spirit-type spirit beasts are a threat to you."
"For me, it's a tonic."
Kong Xuan's eyes twitched slightly, but he didn't say anything more.
The group slowly entered the Demon Forest.
Not long after entering the forest, black mist began to surge around us.
Pairs of blood-red eyes opened deep within the mist.
Those were Evil Eye Soul Beasts. They had bizarre shapes, with their main body resembling a giant eyeball, surrounded by tentacles, and their pupils radiating intense mental fluctuations.
The first to appear were a batch of millennia-old evil eyes.
They floated in mid-air, beams of spiritual energy shooting out from their pupils simultaneously.
Several Soul Masters were caught off guard, and their mental defense Soul Guidance Devices immediately lit up with a blinding red light.
Someone groaned, and blood started flowing from their nose.
Kong Xuan immediately gave the order:
"Deploy the mental barrier!"
"Soul-guided cannons, prepare!"
Boom boom boom!
Dozens of soul-guided beams blasted into the black mist.
Several thousand-year-old evil eyes were instantly blasted to pieces.
But Tang San frowned.
"Don't waste it."
He raised the Rakshasa scythe.
The eerie green death aura spread instantly, and the souls of the shattered evil-eyed beasts were forcibly absorbed into the blade of the Rakshasa Demon Scythe before they could dissipate.
Tang San closed his eyes and sensed it.
He then revealed his dissatisfaction.
"Too weak."
"Let's delve deeper."
The procession continued forward.
The Evil Eye of Ten Thousand Years began to appear, and the mental impact became even more terrifying, even able to penetrate part of the Soul Guidance Armor and directly attack the Soul Guidance Master's brain.
Tang San became more and more excited as he walked.
He devours the soul of every evil eye he kills.
The souls of spirit-attribute soul beasts are indeed more nourishing than those of ordinary soul beasts.
The damaged parts of Rakshasa's divine sense also began to recover little by little.
The eerie green flames in Tang San's eyes grew even more intense.
"right."
"That's the feeling."
"continue."
"There must be something even stronger here."
The deeper you go, the quieter the demon forest becomes.
Later on, even the footsteps of the Soul Master Legion sounded harsh.
Kong Xuan's expression grew increasingly grim as he watched the red dot flashing on the soul-guided detector.
"Sir, the soul energy fluctuations ahead are extremely strong."
"At least 100,000 years old."
Tang San stopped in his tracks.
He looked up and gazed ahead.
Deep within the black mist, a gigantic eye slowly opened.
The eye hovered in mid-air, several meters in diameter, with a dark purple pupil and countless tentacles coiling around it. The moment it opened its eye, the surrounding space seemed to distort.
All the Soul Masters simultaneously felt a sharp pain in their heads.
Some people immediately knelt down on the ground, and their mental defense soul guides emitted a piercing alarm.
Kong Xuan's expression changed drastically.
"The Hundred Thousand Years Evil Eye Tyrant!"
Tang San looked at the enormous evil eye, and a slow smile appeared on his lips.
"Finally, we've encountered a powerful soul beast."
The Evil Eye Tyrant stared at Tang San, his massive mental fluctuations transforming into icy intent that directly entered everyone's minds.
"Humans..."
"Get out of the Demon Forest..."
Tang San chuckled softly.
"roll?"
"A soul like yours is just right for me."
The Rakshasa Demon Scythe slowly rose.
The eerie green death aura clashed with the mental fluctuations of the Evil Eye Tyrant deep within the forest.
The surrounding trees crumbled silently.
The Soul Master Legion retreated in terror.
Tang San took a step forward, his eyes filled with greed, and sneered:
"Let me start by feeding you."
Instantly, from the depths of the Demon Forest, the deathly aura of the Rakshasa soared into the sky.
Deep within the Demon Forest, black mist surged.
That eerie forest seemed to have no distinction between day and night. Twisted trees blocked out the sky, and dark gray branches reached towards the clouds like withered ghostly hands. The ground was covered with damp, rotting leaves. When you stepped on them, they didn't make a normal cracking sound; instead, they felt like stepping on some kind of soft, fleshy substance, producing a faint, teeth-grinding, sticky noise.
The surroundings were eerily quiet.
There were no birdsong.
There were no insect sounds.
Even the sound of the wind blowing through the leaves seemed to be swallowed up by some invisible force.
Three hundred elite Soul Masters of the Sun Moon Empire stood deep within the forest, their black Soul Guidance Armor gleaming with layers of defensive runes. Yet, even with the Soul Guidance Armor protecting them, they still felt a chill run down their spines.
Because before them, within the black mist, the enormous eye had fully opened.
The evil eye tyrant dominates.
Or rather, the Evil Emperor.
It is not an ordinary 100,000-year-old soul beast.
It wasn't even an ordinary ferocious beast.
Its true form resembled an unimaginably enormous single eye, hovering deep within the forest, its diameter spanning tens of feet. The surface of that eyeball was covered with purplish-black patterns, and countless thick tentacles extended from it, each tentacle bearing a dense array of tiny evil eyes.
The moment it opened its eyes, the entire demon forest seemed to be under its control.
The black mist swirled backward.
Space distortion.
An invisible mental pressure pressed down on everyone's minds like a tidal wave.
Several weaker Soul Masters only glanced at it before screaming and collapsing to their knees, clutching their helmets tightly. The mental defense core inside their Soul Guidance Armor flashed red light frantically, but it still couldn't completely block the terrifying mental impact.
Kong Xuan's face turned deathly pale.
He is a level nine soul master and one of the top soul tool masters in the Sun Moon Empire. He believes he has seen a lot of information on 100,000-year-old soul beasts.
But now that he was truly facing the Evil Emperor, he realized that the "danger" described in the data was far from enough to describe even a fraction of the monster before him.
Its mere presence was enough to throw the Soul Master Legion into chaos.
Before it even made a move, the entire battlefield had already been dragged into its mental domain.
Kong Xuan suddenly raised his hand and roared:
"Mental barrier fully activated!"
"Level 9 Linked Soul Guidance Shield Deployed!"
"No one should look into its eyes!"
As soon as the words fell, the three hundred Soul Masters forcibly suppressed the throbbing pain in their minds, and their Soul Guidance Armor simultaneously glowed with a blue-white light. Layers of Soul Guidance shields rapidly expanded, eventually forming a massive, semi-transparent light barrier above the formation.
This protective barrier is maintained by three hundred sets of soul-guided armor, and is further controlled by Kong Xuan's level-nine soul-guided core. Even if a titled Douluo attacks at full strength, it can withstand the attack for a period of time.
But the Evil Emperor simply moved his pupils slowly.
The next instant, a dark purple beam of mental energy shot out from its pupil.
The beam of light did not have the booming sound of ordinary soul skills.
Even though it appeared to have no physical impact, the moment it struck the soul guide shield, a piercing shriek rang in the minds of all the soul guide masters simultaneously.
"ah--!"
Screams rang out one after another.
Among the three hundred Soul Masters, more than a dozen bled from all seven orifices on the spot. The mental defense core inside their Soul Master Armor exploded, and they collapsed to the ground, their souls torn apart by the mental beam.
The surface of the level nine linked soul guide shield fluctuated violently, and a large area of the blue and white light patterns dimmed instantly.
Kong Xuan's pupils suddenly contracted.
"It almost pierced through the protective shield with a single blow?"
"This isn't a 100,000-year-old soul beast!"
"It's at least... at least a ferocious beast that's hundreds of thousands of years old!"
Tang San stood at the very front of the group, the Rakshasa Demon Scythe held diagonally in his hand, a ghostly green aura of death swirling around him. Hearing Kong Xuan's horrified voice, he not only didn't retreat, but instead revealed a greedy, almost insane smile, saying:
"Hundreds of thousands of years?"
"it is good."
"The stronger the better."
"Only such souls are worthy to be sacrifices to my position as a Rakshasa god."
The Evil Emperor's enormous single eye locked onto Tang San.
It could sense that this human was different from ordinary soul masters.
He possessed the aura of a god, but it was not a pure and holy aura; rather, it was a cold, filthy divine power filled with devouring and resentment.
The Evil Emperor's spiritual will exploded in everyone's minds like thunder.
"The taste of a Rakshasa."
"Dirty humans."
"You're not here to hunt souls."
"You're here to devour."
Tang San gave a cold laugh.
"You know quite a lot."
"Since you know that, then obediently offer up your soul."
"To become the last nourishment before I complete my Rakshasa godhood."
The Evil Emperor's pupils suddenly contracted.
The next moment, the entire demon forest was plunged into darkness.
It wasn't dark.
Instead, everyone's senses of sight, hearing, smell, and mental perception are stripped away in an instant.
Evil Emperor's Soul Skill - Evil Eye Gaze.
This is not an ordinary mental attack, but a pupil technique that directly locks onto the soul.
Those who are stared at will suffer sensory deprivation and mental disorder. In severe cases, their souls will be directly extracted by the Evil Emperor and turned into spiritual nourishment.
The Sun Moon Empire's Soul Master Legion was thrown into chaos.
"I can't see!"
"Mental detection failed!"
"The soul guide core has been interfered with!"
"Formation! Stabilize the formation!"
Kong Xuan roared and activated the level nine soul guide core on his chest. A circle of silver-white mental ripples spread from his body, barely restoring some of the perception of the surrounding soul guides.
But it's still too slow.
From within the black mist, countless purplish-black tentacles had already silently reached out.
Those tentacles were not just flesh and blood; each one was wrapped in intense mental fluctuations. With a gentle sweep, they could penetrate the soul guide shield and directly shake the soul master's soul.
boom!
A Soul Master was struck by a tentacle. His Soul Master armor did not break, but he suddenly froze.
The next second, his eyes became empty, and his soul was sucked out by the small evil eye at the tip of the tentacle, turning into a semi-transparent light and shadow, and being dragged into the black mist.
Several more screams rang out.
Before the Soul Master Legion had even truly opened fire, it had already lost dozens of men.
Kong Xuan's eyes were filled with shock and anger.
"Heavy artillery array!"
"Bombardment!"
Thirty heavy soul-guided vehicles were deployed simultaneously, with the metal plates on both sides of the vehicles opening and the muzzles of large, fixed soul-guided cannons raised.
These soul-guided cannons were modified after Xu Jingyuan ascended the throne, with some Rakshasa patterns added to their cores. After the cannonballs exploded, they would release a soul power impact with polluting properties.
Originally, this was a war soul tool prepared to deal with the Soul Master Legion of Douluo Continent in the future.
Now, however, it is being used first in the Demon Forest.
Boom boom boom boom boom!
Dozens of fixed-position soul-guided shells, trailing blinding flames, slammed into the Evil Emperor's body.
The explosion instantly tore through the darkness.
Large swathes of trees were blasted into dust, and deep craters were blasted into the ground. The Rakshasa's polluted flames and soul-guided energy intertwined, forming a raging sea of fire.
Yet, deep within the sea of fire, the Evil Emperor's enormous eye still hovered there.
Countless tentacles intertwined in front of it, forming a dark purple mental barrier.
The impact of the soul-guided cannonball explosion was mostly blocked, and the remaining energy was distorted by the mental barrier before it could even get close to the Evil Emperor's body, and was blasted outwards.
boom!
boom!
The two shells bounced back and blasted directly into the Sun Moon Soul Master Legion.
More than a dozen Soul Masters were blown away, and fragments of their Soul Master armor scattered everywhere.
Kong Xuan's expression changed completely.
"It can distort the trajectory of a soul-guided cannon?"
Tang San watched this scene, his eyes narrowing slightly.
"Mental interference with reality."
"interesting."
The Evil Emperor's cold spiritual will resounded once more.
"Human toys."
"ridiculous."
The next moment, dark purple light condensed in the Evil Emperor's pupils, and rings of mental ripples spread outward.
Evil Emperor's Soul Skill - Mental Storm.
boom!
An invisible storm swept across the entire forest.
The mental barrier of the Sun Moon Empire's Soul Master Legion instantly shattered.
The mental defense cores of countless Soul Guidance Armors overloaded simultaneously, emitting ear-piercing explosions. A large number of Soul Guidance Masters screamed and fell to the ground; some rolled on the ground clutching their heads, while others had their souls shattered, their bodies still standing, but their eyes completely empty.
Kong Xuan himself groaned, blood flowing from his nose. His level nine soul-guided armor emitted a silver-white radiance, barely protecting his spiritual essence.
But the lower-level Soul Masters behind him weren't so lucky.
In just one round of mental storm, nearly half of the three hundred Soul Masters were lost.
The remaining people were also thrown into complete disarray.
Tang San watched this scene with cold eyes, showing no pity whatsoever.
These soul masters were originally sent by Xu Jingyuan to test his soul tools.
He didn't care how many people died.
Even if they all die, it's worth it as long as we can deplete even a little bit of the Evil Emperor's power.
The Evil Emperor clearly noticed Tang San's indifference.
A hint of cold anger flashed in its eyes.
"You are more like a monster than any evil creature in this forest."
Tang San chuckled softly.
"Thank you for the compliment."
As soon as he finished speaking, he finally moved.
The Rakshasa Domain suddenly expanded.
A purplish-black domain spread from beneath Tang San's feet, while a ghostly green death aura engulfed the ground like a swamp. The corpses of the recently deceased Soul Masters, as well as the remaining life force after their souls were torn apart by the Evil Emperor, were all forcibly extracted by the Rakshasa Domain, transforming into streams of resentful and venomous soul power that surged into Tang San's body.
Tang San's aura began to rise.
The Rakshasa Demon Scythe emitted an excited hum. He took a step forward, his figure transforming into a black and green afterimage, instantly appearing in front of one of the Evil Emperor's tentacles.
"Rakshasa Demon Scythe, Slay the Soul!"
The sickle flashed.
The tentacle was severed with a single stroke.
Ordinary weapons have little chance of harming a ferocious beast with a spiritual attribute like the Evil Emperor, because its tentacles contain a large amount of spiritual essence, which can easily be distorted by conventional attacks.
The Rakshasa Scythe is a divine weapon.
The scythe slashed down, not only severing flesh and blood, but also directly cutting through the soul veins within the tentacles.
The Evil Emperor let out a piercing mental scream.
The entire forest was engulfed in black mist. The severed tentacles fell to the ground and, before they could transform back into spiritual energy and return to the Evil Emperor's body, were grabbed by Tang San.
"swallow."
The Rakshasa Demon Scythe flashed with a ghostly light.
The spiritual essence in that tentacle was forcibly swallowed into the scythe.
A hint of enjoyment appeared in Tang San's eyes.
"Such pure spiritual power."
"As expected, the Demon Forest did not disappoint me."
The Evil Emperor was utterly enraged.
Within its enormous pupil, a purplish-black light condensed wildly.
The surrounding space began to distort, and the trees, the ground, the black mist, and the remains of the soul tool all seemed to be pulled into an invisible vortex.
Evil Emperor's Soul Skill - Light of Time and Space.
A beam of grayish-purple light shot out from its pupil.
This beam of light was completely different from the previous beams of spiritual energy.
It not only attacks the mind, but also possesses a strong power to slow down time and distort space.
Wherever the beam of light passed, the air seemed to thicken, the flying debris stopped in mid-air, and the flames from the exploding soul-guided cannon were stretched into eerie arcs.
Tang San's expression finally changed slightly.
He could sense that this attack was enough to threaten him.
If he were hit head-on, even with the Rakshasa Demon Scythe, his spiritual sea would suffer severe damage.
"Rakshasa Ghost!"
Tang San's figure flickered, transforming into dozens of black and green phantoms that scattered in all directions.
However, the Light of Time and Space was not completely fooled by the illusion. The Evil Emperor's pupils shifted slightly, and the gray-purple beam of light locked onto Tang San's true form, forcibly pursuing it.
Tang San's eyes were gloomy.
"Mental lock-on?"
"Let's see if your spirit is stronger, or my divine weapon is stronger!"
He gripped the Rakshasa Scythe with both hands, and the Rakshasa divine power within him erupted.
"The prototype of the Rakshasa's divine technique—the substitution of ten thousand souls!"
In an instant, the remnant souls of the recently deceased Soul Masters were forcibly pulled out.
They let out shrill screams, but were powerless to resist. Tang San pulled them in front of him, forming a pale soul shield made up of countless souls.
The light of time and space struck the soul shield. (End of Chapter)
