Chapter 179 Demonic Forest

At the edge of the mysterious Xingdou Great Forest in Douluo Continent, thick fog lingered like a veil, tall trees blocked out the sun, leaving only mottled light and shadows on the ground. The God of Destruction and the Goddess of Life carefully concealed their figures, and every move they made was extremely cautious, for fear of making the slightest sound.

The God of Destruction was surrounded by a thick and dangerous aura of destruction. The aura was like the materialized power of darkness, constantly rolling and surging, as if it could trigger a world-destroying disaster at any time. His eyes revealed coldness and decisiveness, and his every move exuded a frightening deterrent force. The Goddess of Life exuded a soft and warm light of life, just like the warm sun in spring. The light swayed gently, bringing a touch of warmth to the cold air around. Her face was gentle and firm, and her eyes were full of the meaning of protecting life. At this time, their expressions were extremely solemn, and they did not dare to slack off.

"Life, this is the Star Dou Great Forest, the Silver Dragon is most likely hiding in it. But we must be extremely careful and must not let Tang San detect any trace." The God of Destruction lowered his voice, the voice was low and hoarse, as if it came from the Nine Nether Hell. His eyes were full of vigilance and unwillingness, staring at the forest ahead, as if there were countless enemies hiding there.

The Goddess of Life nodded slightly and responded softly: "I understand, Tang San's strength is too strong. If he finds out that we are here, there will definitely be complications, and even our lives may be in danger." Her voice was soft but powerful, like a spring breeze, soothing people's hearts.

They crept in slowly like ghosts, and the fallen leaves under their feet made a slight rustling sound. The surrounding trees became more and more dense, and the branches and leaves intertwined, forming a natural barrier. They cleverly used the rich natural atmosphere in the forest to cover themselves, and their figures were looming in the interweaving of light and shadow. Finally, they arrived near the core area of ​​the Xingdou Great Forest, hid behind a dense bush, and secretly observed the scene in front of them.

The Lake of Life was sparkling, and the surface of the lake was shining with golden light under the sunlight. There seemed to be a mysterious power surging under the lake, emitting waves of strange fluctuations. The Beast God Emperor Tianzheng was walking hurriedly by the lake. He was tall and majestic, and exuded a powerful aura, as if he was the master of this forest. Surrounding him were several powerful beasts. Their auras were strong and heavy, exuding wild deterrence. The eyes of each beast revealed vigilance and ferocity.

At this time, in another faraway place, Xiao Yan steadily put the Yin Yang Soul Pill, which had condensed countless efforts, into the storage ring. The moment the pill entered the ring, the warm and majestic fluctuations of the medicinal power came from his fingertips, as if telling the happy ending of this arduous refining. His face showed a trace of tired relief, his forehead was full of sweat, and his clothes were soaked with sweat.

"Huh..." Xiao Yan sighed softly, looking up at the lush forest in the distance, with a plan in mind. "Now that the elixir is ready, the most urgent thing is to improve my strength. This seventh soul ring is the key. I will have to let the Beast God do it for me later."

While he was thinking, the soft and anxious voice of Tianmeng Ice Silkworm suddenly rang in Xiao Yan's mind: "Xiao Yan, don't rush to find Di Tian! The evil eye of the Demon Forest is the best choice for your seventh soul ring. That power is strange and powerful. Once integrated, it will be of great benefit to your future practice. Don't miss it!"

Xiao Yan paused, his face full of surprise, he had not expected this sudden suggestion. He knew that Tianmeng Ice Silkworm was well-informed and his words were not groundless, but the Demon Forest was notorious, and the risks of going there rashly were self-evident.

“Brother Tianmeng, this evil forest…” Xiao Yan hesitated to speak, his brows twisted unconsciously into the shape of a “川” character, his eyes revealing hesitation and worry.

"Listen to me, Xiao Yan!" Tianmeng Bingcan interrupted him, his tone full of unquestionable confidence, "The unique power contained in the evil eye can give your martial soul a new attribute, and it will definitely help you win in future battles. With your current strength, plus my help, you will be able to deal with it safely."

Xiao Yan fell into deep thought, weighing the pros and cons in his mind. He understood that in this world where the strong are respected, every breakthrough is related to life and death, and a matching spirit ring is undoubtedly a solid step to a higher peak. The air around him seemed to solidify, and time also stopped at this moment. After a long time, Xiao Yan's eyes flashed with determination: "Okay, Brother Tianmeng, I believe you." He clenched his fists, exuding an indomitable aura, "Then I will set off to the Demon Forest immediately."

After making up his mind, Xiao Yan began to prepare intensively. He first carefully checked his weapon, rubbing the Xuanzhong ruler in his hands, and the ruler body trembled slightly, as if responding to the adventure that its master was about to embark on. The lines on the Xuanzhong ruler seemed to come alive, flashing with mysterious light. Then, he took out various healing pills from the ring, checking the quality and efficacy one by one to ensure that they would come in handy at the critical moment. Each pill exuded a unique medicinal fragrance, and Xiao Yan's eyes revealed concentration and caution.

"I must be extremely careful when I go to the Demon Forest this time." Xiao Yan muttered to himself, put away the pills properly, and took out a light but tough black suit and put it on neatly. The suit fit his body tightly, as if it had merged with him, showing his heroic spirit.

Everything was ready. Xiao Yan took a deep breath, and his figure flashed, turning into a black shadow, rushing towards the direction of the Demonic Forest. The surrounding scenery quickly retreated backwards, and the sound of the wind whistled past his ears. Only the branches and leaves blown by the strong wind were left in place, rustling, as if bidding him farewell on this unknown adventure.

Xiao Yan's target at this moment was clearly the Demonic Forest. This mysterious and dangerous area was the habitat of the strongest soul beasts in the Sun Moon Empire. Deep in this forest lived a powerful and frightening soul beast clan - the Evil Eye. And the one who led them was none other than the Evil Eye Tyrant Overlord, who was known as the "Evil Emperor". In the past 100,000 years, it was the only terrifying existence that dared to challenge the Beast God Emperor Tian. Its powerful strength was like a towering mountain, which made people feel awe.

When Xiao Yan first entered the land of the Sun Moon Empire, Tianmeng Ice Silkworm and Bingbi Emperor Scorpion once revealed to him that if he wanted to find a spirit ring that could greatly increase his strength, the evil eyes in the Demon Forest that had been there for a long time would undoubtedly be the best choice. The evil eyes were born with extremely powerful spiritual attributes, but at that time, Xiao Yan's cultivation was still at a relatively weak stage and he did not have the strength to defeat them. But as time went by, Xiao Yan relied on his unremitting efforts and coincidences to significantly improve his mental strength. Now, he has the confidence to challenge the evil eyes.

Although Xiao Yan had gained powerful strength and successfully reached the 70th level of soul power due to the transformation of the Snow Queen into a soul spirit, he still resolutely chose to embark on the journey to the Demon Forest. The reason behind this was that he clearly realized that if he wanted to play a key role in the upcoming crisis, he also needed to obtain the seventh soul ring to complete the important leap from the middle-level soul master to the high-level soul master and advance to the soul saint realm.

After the Snow Queen resolutely chose to become Xiao Yan's soul, Xiao Yan's body seemed to have become a treasure house that contained endless power. The powerful force contained in the Snow Queen, like a surging torrent, blended and stirred with Xiao Yan's own soul power. Under the impact of that majestic force, Xiao Yan's soul power was like a wild horse that had broken free from its reins, rushing forward all the way, and even he himself could not accurately estimate to what astonishing heights his soul power had climbed. When this power gradually stabilized, Xiao Yan was pleasantly surprised to find that he had successfully broken through to the seventieth level of soul power.

Since stepping into the threshold of level 50 soul power, Xiao Yan's soul power improvement path has been like sailing against the current, and every step forward seems extremely difficult. Seeing his companions around him successfully advance to Soul Emperor, Xiao Yan was anxious, but he turned this pressure into motivation to practice silently. For countless days and nights, he sweated profusely in the practice room, constantly challenging his limits.

The appearance of the Snow Queen Spirit was undoubtedly a timely rain on Xiao Yan's road to cultivation. The ultimate ice and earth energy she gave Xiao Yan not only made Xiao Yan's soul power a qualitative leap, but also injected more powerful power into his martial soul. Now, Xiao Yan is only one step away from the Soul Saint realm, and this key step is to obtain the seventh soul ring.

Xiao Yan was extremely anxious at the moment, and he only wanted to rush back to Shrek Academy as soon as possible. He was keenly aware that the Xingdou Great Forest was surging with crisis, as if a storm was about to come. The atmosphere in the forest became oppressive and dull, and a tense atmosphere filled the air. And the strength with which he returned to Shrek Academy would have a completely different impact on the situation.

Deep in his heart, he had a strong premonition that perhaps only he could become the key figure in resolving this crisis, and his own strength would play a decisive role. Therefore, in this short and urgent time, Xiao Yan's brain worked rapidly. After careful consideration and weighing the pros and cons, he finally decided to go to the relatively close Demon Forest to try to obtain the seventh spirit ring as soon as possible, and then rushed back to Shrek Academy without stopping.

The sacrifice of the Snow Queen was undoubtedly earth-shattering news to the many soul beasts in the Star Dou Great Forest. This was bound to trigger a strong reaction from the fierce beasts in the forest. Their shock and anger were like a volcano about to erupt, and could erupt at any time. The forest was filled with a murderous atmosphere, and the roars of the fierce beasts came one after another. However, even if they wanted to take action, it would not be done overnight, and it would take a certain amount of time to prepare and plan. And Shrek City, as the foundation of Shrek Academy after countless years of accumulation, with its profound heritage and powerful strength, could not be easily shaken by a temporary riot in the Star Dou Great Forest.

Although Xiao Yan could not accurately predict what would happen at the moment, he knew very well that only by taking the best approach could he take the initiative in this unknown crisis.

In fact, Xiao Yan is an emotional and extremely sentimental person. However, after integrating the Snow Emperor's soul and the abilities associated with it, whenever his emotions show signs of getting out of control, a cool and gentle force will quietly penetrate into his spiritual sea like a gurgling stream. This force will forcibly pull him back from the whirlpool of emotions to the other side of reason. But this feeling is not entirely comfortable, because while regaining reason, his emotions will also be suppressed to a certain extent. However, in such a severe situation, Xiao Yan knows that he must not resist this reason. After all, the upcoming crisis may be more terrifying and difficult than the situation of the Sun and Moon Empire holding hundreds of hostages, and he, as a key figure in resolving the crisis, every decision and every bit of power is crucial, and there is no room for slackness or negligence.

Just as the Tianmeng Ice Silkworm had pointed out, Xiao Yan spread his wings and flew northwest. The sky was covered with dark clouds and the wind was howling, as if foreshadowing the impending danger. In less than an hour, a vast forest in the distance gradually came into his sight.

The Xingdou Great Forest is located in the center of the Douluo Continent. It has a temperate climate with distinct four seasons. The forest vegetation is lush and vibrant. The Demon Forest in front of us is relatively cold because it is close to the north. Looking around, the mountains and plains are full of coniferous forests. Looking down from the air, you can find that there are many black and gray branches and leaves in the forest. From a distance, it looks like a black haze, weighing heavily on the ground, revealing endless depression and gloom. Even before he really stepped into it, the heavy feeling that came to his face made Xiao Yan feel particularly solemn.

Without a doubt, this was Xiao Yan's destination - the Demonic Forest. He slowly descended from the air, his feet landing firmly on the ground. Any soul master with a little common sense knew that flying over a forest full of soul beasts was undoubtedly seeking death, which was equivalent to exposing oneself to endless danger.

Without any hesitation, Xiao Yan flashed like a black lightning and went straight into this mysterious and dangerous forest. He rushed towards the center of the forest based on the direction he had already identified in the air. This confidence came from his full understanding and firm belief in his own strength. The surrounding trees were tall and gloomy, with branches and leaves intertwined, and the sky was almost invisible. Occasionally, a few unknown beast roars were heard, which made people tremble with fear.

If it were five years ago, facing this dangerous forest, Xiao Yan would have to be very cautious and tread carefully, not daring to go deep into it. But now, he is no longer the same as before. Not only does he have a strong mental power that surpasses that of a Titled Douluo, like a sharp blade that can see through everything, but also with the help of the Snow Empress's soul, he has gained many powerful and unique abilities, which allow him to keenly perceive the dangers in the surrounding environment, and thus cleverly avoid dangers.

Without deliberately using spirit skills, Xiao Yan's powerful mental power was like an invisible and dense net, spreading rapidly around him. Every slight movement, every faint breath, could not escape the perception of this big net. The trembling of every leaf in the forest, the crawling of every insect, were all clearly reflected in his mind.

Soon, Xiao Yan keenly realized that the density of soul beasts here was much higher than the Jingyang Mountains he had been to before. As expected, it was the place with the densest soul beasts in the Sun Moon Continent. On every inch of land in this forest, there seemed to be countless pairs of vigilant eyes hidden, and every low roar of the beasts seemed to announce to him the danger and mystery of this forest. The air was filled with the breath of soul beasts, a mixture of blood and wildness.

After Xiao Yan entered the Demonic Forest, he moved forward cautiously as if walking on thin ice. The forest was filled with a mysterious and dangerous atmosphere, and every step seemed to be stepping on an unknown trap. He knew that if he was not careful, he might fall into an irretrievable situation. The fog around him became thicker and thicker, and visibility was extremely low. Xiao Yan had to be more cautious in sensing everything around him.

Suddenly, a wave of soul power came from the front, like a huge rock thrown into a calm lake, instantly breaking the silence of the forest. The wave was strong and chaotic, with a violent aura. Xiao Yan's heart trembled: "Is there a soul beast fighting?"

He immediately stopped and took a few steps back like a ghost, hiding next to a sturdy tree. The trunk of the tree was extremely thick and the bark was rough, as if it was a witness to the years. Then, he used his simulated soul skills, and in an instant, he blended perfectly with the surrounding environment, as if he had become a part of the forest. His aura was completely hidden, and even the insects around him did not notice his presence.

Now Xiao Yan's mental power has evolved to a tangible level. Unless a powerful creature at the level of a ferocious beast deliberately explores his location, as long as he stays still, the invisibility effect brought about by this simulated soul skill will definitely deceive enemies with weaker cultivation.

The one rushing in front was a soul beast covered with thick scales. The soul beast's lower limbs were extremely sturdy, and it walked upright, with short upper limbs. But both the upper and lower limbs had three fingers, with sharp claws that shone coldly. The thick scales on its body were dark blue, and looked at least three layers, very thick. It was four meters tall and looked very majestic, with a particularly huge head that almost occupied one-third of its body size, and it also had a three-meter-long thick tail behind it.

When Xiao Yan first saw this soul beast, he was stunned for a moment. He quickly searched through what he had learned in his mind, just like searching through a precious ancient book, and finally managed to identify its origin with difficulty.

This beast is called Devouring Dragon, and is also known as the "Mini Tyrannosaurus Rex". In the huge family of earth dragons, Tyrannosaurus Rex is one of the most powerful members. The height of an adult Tyrannosaurus Rex easily exceeds 15 meters. If its cultivation exceeds the ten thousand year mark, it is not unheard of for it to grow to 30 meters. In the vast world of soul beasts, it is like a towering mobile fortress, a giant-level existence. Its physical attack and defense capabilities are terrifying, and it can even compete with real dragons.

But the Tyrannosaurus Rex is not invincible. It has obvious shortcomings in long-range attacks, and it focuses too much on physical strengthening, which limits the development of its other abilities.

The Devouring Dragon in front of him looked very similar to the Tyrannosaurus Rex, and could be distinguished at a glance by their size. The Devouring Dragon was also good at defense, but it had an extremely domineering innate soul skill called "Devouring the World". This soul beast was brutal and bloodthirsty by nature, and every time it killed an opponent, it would devour the opponent's body to recover its own losses and promote its own evolution.

The Devouring Dragon's cruel habits made it make enemies everywhere in the soul beast world and was despised. In its eyes, no matter how strong or weak the opponent is, whether it is a soul beast or a human, they are just lambs to be slaughtered. Only after eating and drinking enough will it stop killing and fall into a deep sleep.

Compared to ordinary soul beasts, the Devouring Dragon's growth rate is extremely fast. Generally, it only takes a thousand years to reach the level of cultivation that ordinary soul beasts can only achieve in ten thousand years. However, because of its bloodthirsty nature, once it encounters a strong person, it will often end up destroyed.

In the world of soul beasts, the Devouring Dragon is not the only one that evolves by devouring the enemy's power. The most representative and powerful one is the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger. However, the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger is extremely intelligent, while the Devouring Dragon's mental state is mostly in chaos, and it basically kills by instinct. This difference makes the Devouring Dragon clan far behind the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger.

The Devouring Dragon in front of him was already very large. Judging from the color of its scales and the length of its tail, it was a ten-thousand-year-old Devouring Dragon, and its cultivation was probably between ten thousand and twenty thousand years. At this level, the Devouring Dragon's strength was already quite terrifying. But at this moment, its running posture was a little staggering, and there were obvious signs of burns on one side of its body, and its expression was extremely panicked. It was obvious that the one chasing behind it must be a being with much greater strength than it.

At this moment, a dazzling red light shot out from behind like an arrow. This red light was as thick as a water tank, with a cross-sectional diameter of at least one meter. Wherever it passed, any obstruction was instantly reduced to ashes and disappeared completely. The surrounding air was burned by the high temperature, making a "sizzling" sound.

The Devouring Dragon, which was fleeing in front, keenly sensed the approach of death, and pounced forward with all its strength, with all the scales on its body standing up. At the same time, a layer of dark blue light surged out of its body, forming a protective light shield. The light shield flashed with mysterious runes, as if telling an ancient spell.

But the red light was too fast and covered too wide a range. Although the Devouring Dragon reacted quickly, it was still swept by the red light.

As soon as the gray-blue light came into contact with the red light, it was clear that the Devouring Dragon's protective halo quickly twisted and deformed, like a fragile soap bubble that burst in an instant. The remaining red light passed over its back, and a puff of smoke suddenly rolled up. The smoke was filled with a burnt smell that made people sick.

The Devouring Dragon let out a painful scream, and its sturdy body rolled on the ground. When it jumped up again, it had turned around. It raised its huge head high, opened its bloody mouth, and let out a deafening roar. The roar made the surrounding trees tremble, and the leaves fell one after another.

In the Devouring Dragon's open mouth, a dark blue airflow instantly condensed. The core of the airflow was as black as ink, which was its innate soul skill - "Devouring the World". In the blink of an eye, the area with a diameter of 100 meters fell into darkness. The terrifying devouring power surged out, turning all life in the area, whether it was weak insects or thriving plants, into nothingness, madly absorbing their energy. The surrounding space seemed to be distorted by an invisible force, making a "creaking" sound.

When the Devouring Dragon was attacked, Xiao Yan happened to be only a few dozen meters away from it. Caught off guard, the Devouring Dragon brazenly used "Devouring the World".

In an instant, Xiao Yan felt the temperature around him drop suddenly, and a bone-chilling chill hit him, as if he was in ten thousand years of black ice. Then, a strange and violent force, like a surging undercurrent, frantically tore at his vitality, as if it wanted to peel off his flesh and bones inch by inch and crush him into powder.

This terrifying feeling only lasted for a moment, but it seemed as long as a century. Xiao Yan made a prompt decision and released the simulated spirit skill. A layer of brilliant golden light instantly bloomed, like an indestructible shield, completely isolating the terrifying devouring aura. At the same time, Xiao Yan's figure also emerged from the invisible state.

Xiao Yan was secretly upset. Although the simulated spirit skill was powerful, it was not omnipotent. When facing such a large-scale powerful attack, it was still difficult to hide his body. "What bad luck!" Xiao Yan cursed in a low voice, "I thought I would reap the benefits, but I didn't expect to become a fish in the pond and suffer for no reason."

Xiao Yan sighed helplessly, a bitter smile flashed across his face. As the light flickered slightly, his body shot up like an arrow from a bow, and the whole person seemed to be a light feather, floating back. At this moment, he hoped that the two soul beasts who were fighting fiercely did not notice him and could continue their fight, so that he could find an opportunity to escape. So, he tried his best to restrain his own breath, trying to create an illusion that he had never appeared.

However, in this dangerous world of soul beasts, soul beasts' perception of humans is more acute than one can imagine. The moment Xiao Yan appeared, a sharp and piercing scream pierced the sky. Xiao Yan's heart tightened, and his eyes quickly swept towards the source of the sound, and finally saw the soul beast that had just launched the terrifying red light attack.

What came into view was a very strange looking soul beast. It was floating in the air, and at first glance, it looked a bit like a giant balloon. However, that thing floating was not a balloon, but a blood-red giant eye, one meter in diameter, emitting a terrifying light, as if it could see through a person's soul. Around the giant eye, there was a circle of brown spots, like an ancient mysterious rune, exuding a mysterious and dangerous aura.

Six limp tentacles dangled from its body, dragging on the ground, leaving long trails. Xiao Yan looked closely and saw that wherever the tentacles passed, the ground was corroded into deep grooves, emitting a pungent smell, which showed how toxic it was. Among the six tentacles, three were bright green, and the other three were striking red. The contrast of colors was sharp and looked particularly strange. As soon as the soul beast appeared, its huge blood-red eyes locked onto Xiao Yan, as if examining him as prey.

"Evil Eye!" Xiao Yan was startled and instantly recognized the identity of this soul beast. He knew that the Evil Eye was exactly what he was looking for when he entered the Demon Forest. However, when he carefully observed the Evil Eye, he could not help but feel a little disappointed.

This evil eye seemed powerful and had reached the king level, but its attributes were not purely spiritual, but rather a complex mix of styles. When Xiao Yan was in Shrek Academy, he had studied courses specifically on soul beasts such as the evil eye, and was familiar with their characteristics.

The evil eyes are not a single group, they are divided into different races, and the abilities of each race vary greatly. In the world of the evil eyes, there is a strange rule: the fewer the types of abilities, the stronger the strength, and the number of innate soul skills is inversely proportional to the strength. Take the famous evil eye tyrant overlord for example, it only has one attribute, that is, pure spiritual attribute. With this powerful spiritual power, it can display a myriad of spiritual soul skills that are hard to defend against, and its attack range is so wide that even the beast god Di Tian can hardly reach it.

Judging from the attack it launched before and the color of its tentacles at this moment, this evil eye has at least three attributes. Among them, the spiritual attribute is common to the evil eye clan, and it also includes fire attribute and corrosion attribute. The red tentacles obviously contain the power of fire attribute, and the hot breath blows towards you; while the green tentacles emit a disgusting corrosive breath, as if they can turn everything into pus and blood. Looking at its huge fiery red eyes, it is not difficult to infer that among these three attributes, the fire attribute occupies a dominant position.

According to the classification of the evil eye, those who have cultivated for more than ten thousand years can be honored as the evil eye tyrant. This evil eye with fire attribute as the main attribute is called the fire evil tyrant. Unfortunately, it is not what Xiao Yan needs at the moment. What Xiao Yan is looking for is the evil eye with pure spiritual attribute, at least it should be mainly spiritual attribute, supplemented by other attributes, and the fewer other attributes, the better.

The shriek was made by the Fire Evil Tyrant. Xiao Yan then discovered that its mouth was hidden behind its eyes. As the shriek sounded, the Fire Evil Tyrant's floating speed suddenly increased, approaching Xiao Yan like an arrow from a bow. The surrounding air seemed to be oppressed by its momentum, making a dull sound.

The strange things continued. The Devouring Dragon, which was originally in a desperate struggle with the Fire Evil Tyrant and was fleeing, turned around and pointed its bloody mouth at Xiao Yan. The dark blue light in its mouth became more and more dazzling, as if it was accumulating terrifying power.

"No way! These two soul beasts turned enemies into friends so quickly and pointed their spearheads at me?" Xiao Yan frowned, and a foreboding premonition surged in his heart. He floated back and landed steadily on the ground, his eyes fixed on the two soul beasts' every move.

The fiery red eye of the Fire Evil Tyrant suddenly lit up, and circles of strange twisted light patterns quickly spread out from it. These light patterns seemed to have life, constantly wriggling and changing, causing the surrounding space to become distorted, like a crumpled painting. Where the space was distorted, a "buzzing" sound was emitted, as if the rules of reality were being broken.

"Spiritual force field!" Xiao Yan's heart trembled, and he immediately recognized that this was the innate soul skill of the Evil Eye Clan. Within the range of this spiritual force field, all opponents with weaker spiritual power than it will suffer varying degrees of suppression. Depending on the difference in cultivation and spiritual power, the suppressed person may experience dizziness, dullness, fatigue, decadence, weakness and other conditions. This is also one of the most proficient means of controlling the field of the Evil Eye Clan.

It is said that the mental force field exerted by the Evil Eye Tyrant Overlord has a coverage area of ​​30 kilometers in diameter, which is simply terrifying.

At the same time that the Fire Evil Tyrant released his mental force field, the Devouring Dragon also rushed towards Xiao Yan like a mad bull. From its open mouth, black light with a dark blue halo spewed out like a surging tide. It was the astonishingly powerful "Devouring the World".

Not only did the two soul beasts quickly reconcile, they also reached a consensus in such a short period of time and launched a coordinated attack on Xiao Yan, and their cooperation was quite tacit.

If it were an ordinary Soul Emperor, facing the powerful mental force field of Fire Evil Tyrant, even if he would not be completely subdued, he would definitely fall into an extremely passive situation. However, today, Fire Evil Tyrant and Devouring Dragon were facing Xiao Yan, a powerful person whose mental power cultivation far exceeded his soul power cultivation, reaching the level of Titled Douluo, and possessing the Eyes of Shura.

Xiao Yan's eyes instantly became icy cold, as if they could freeze everything. Facing the mental force field that surged like a tide, his eyes were as firm as a rock, without the slightest wavering. "Since you are seeking your own death, don't blame me for being rude!" Xiao Yan said coldly, with an unquestionable killing intent in his voice. He ignored the Devouring Dragon that was spewing "Devouring the World" and focused all his attention on the Fire Evil Tyrant in the distance.

In an instant, Xiao Yan's eyes changed dramatically. The originally pitch-black pupils instantly turned into a brilliant purple-gold color, and it was a crystal clear purple-gold color, like two burning purple-gold suns, emitting a frightening light. This is the power of Shura's Eyes, which contains endless majesty and mystery.

Xiao Yan's mind moved, and a powerful spiritual force burst out with him as the center, colliding head-on with the spiritual force field of the Fire Evil Tyrant. The air seemed to be ignited, making a "crackling" sound. Under the impact of this powerful spiritual force, the spiritual force field of the Fire Evil Tyrant began to crack, like a broken mirror.

The Fire Tyrant seemed to sense the danger, and its tentacles danced wildly. The red tentacles spewed out blazing flames, and the green tentacles released large amounts of corrosive poisonous fog, trying to interfere with Xiao Yan's actions. However, Xiao Yan's body was as fast as lightning, and he easily avoided these attacks. A layer of golden light surrounded his body, which was the embodiment of his powerful mental power, isolating all attacks.

Xiao Yan muttered something and used a powerful spiritual soul skill. A golden light shot out from his eyes, like a golden sword, piercing straight at the Fire Evil Tyrant. The Fire Evil Tyrant let out a shrill scream and tried to avoid the fatal blow, but the golden light seemed to lock onto it and followed it closely.

Just as the golden light was about to hit the Fire Evil Tyrant, the Devouring Dragon suddenly rushed over and blocked the Fire Evil Tyrant with its huge body. The golden light hit the Devouring Dragon's scales, making a loud noise, and the Devouring Dragon's scales were instantly shattered, blood splattered everywhere. It roared in pain, but still stood there stubbornly.

Xiao Yan frowned slightly, not expecting the Devouring Dragon to do this. But he did not hesitate at all, and once again gathered his spiritual power, preparing to launch a more powerful attack. He knew very well that in this dangerous Demon Forest, any mercy could bring him disaster.

Xiao Yan took a deep breath, mobilized all the spiritual power in his body, and condensed it into a golden ball of light. This ball of light contained the power to destroy the world, and the surrounding space was distorted by its existence. Xiao Yan threw the ball of light towards the two soul beasts, and the ball of light drew a golden arc in the air, instantly hitting the Fire Evil Tyrant and the Devouring Dragon.

A deafening roar was heard, and the entire Demonic Forest trembled. The light from the explosion illuminated the entire area, and the powerful impact uprooted the surrounding trees, raising a cloud of dust. Xiao Yan stood in place, staring at the place filled with dust, alert for any possible counterattack.

After a long time, the smoke and dust gradually dissipated, and the figures of Fire Evil Tyrant and Devouring Dragon appeared in Xiao Yan's field of vision. Their bodies were covered with scars, and their breath was weak, obviously they had suffered heavy injuries. The giant eyes of Fire Evil Tyrant had lost their former light and became dim; most of the scales of Devouring Dragon had fallen off, and the blood dyed the surrounding land red.

Xiao Yan walked forward slowly, gathering a powerful force in his hands. As long as the two soul beasts made any unusual movements, he would attack without hesitation. However, the Fire Evil Tyrant and the Devouring Dragon seemed to have lost the will to fight. Their bodies trembled slightly, and fear was revealed in their eyes.

Xiao Yan looked at the two soul beasts in front of him, and couldn't help but feel a little emotional. In this world where the strong prey on the weak, everything is based on strength. He knew that he had to continue to become stronger in order to protect everything he cherished in the upcoming crisis.

Xiao Yan ignored the two soul beasts and turned to walk deeper into the Demonic Forest. He knew that he was still far from his goal and there were more powerful evil eyes waiting for him. And this battle was just the beginning of his adventure in the Demonic Forest.

As Xiao Yan went deeper, the environment of the Demonic Forest became worse and worse. The surrounding trees became more twisted, and the air was filled with a strong stench. From time to time, the roar of terrifying beasts could be heard from afar, which made people shudder.

But Xiao Yan did not retreat at all, his eyes were full of determination.

He knew that only by obtaining the right seventh soul ring could he play a key role in the coming crisis. He believed that in this mysterious and dangerous evil forest, there must be a powerful force hidden that he needed. (End of this chapter)
