Douluo Continent: The Holy Evil Emperor

Of course, only a transmigrator like Ye Qing, who is familiar with the plot, can understand what the Star Dou Great Forest is asking for and how to change its existing fate from the words of Bi Ji and the other riddle-makers.

If it were a local instead, they would be completely at a loss. If they failed to protect the Three-Eyed Golden Lion in the end, that local would probably be devoured alive by Emperor Tiansheng.

"Okay, I agree to your requests." The more Ye Qing looked at Bi Ji, the more pleasing she became to the eye. Before, he just thought she was incredibly beautiful, but now he directly regarded her as the very attractive rich older sister in Douluo Continent.

So what if they're soul beasts? If they transform into human form, aren't they all the same?

Rich woman, hungry, hungry, rice!

Seeing Ye Qing nod, Bi Ji's gentle smile brightened considerably: "Then I'll leave it to you. Whether you can change your fate or not, you will always be a friend of our Star Dou Great Forest."

'Friends forever? If I hadn't protected the Three-Eyed Golden Lion, I'd probably have been crushed by Di Tian right after she died, right?' Ye Qing thought to himself, but he wore the same smile on his face.

"Of course, I will do my best."

"Then should I go and find a 100,000-year-old soul beast to sacrifice for you?" Biji asked.

That's how these ferocious beasts are. Once they confirm a cooperative relationship, they won't be ambiguous at all. They said they would provide three 100,000-year-old soul beasts, so Ye Qing can come and take them away whenever he wants.

Of course, this only applies to his own absorption.

Just as Ye Qing was about to nod, another thought flashed through his mind, and he quickly stopped himself from speaking, turning to ask another question: "Does your Star Dou Great Forest have Thunder Hell Vine that is about to explode?"

And Brigitte did not disappoint Ye Qing.

"Yes, there is a Thunderous Hell Vine in the core area that is about 50,000 years old and is on the verge of self-destruction."

A 100,000-year soul ring may be tempting, but the Thunderous Hell Vine is even more so!

So what if it's 50,000 years old? Its spirit rings are even more suitable for it than those of a 100,000-year-old spirit beast!

Chapter 78 Biji, I need your help in my cultivation!

Although the Thunderous Hell Vine is rare, the Star Dou Great Forest is so vast that it's not surprising that a few survive.

However, the fact that there was a 50,000-year-old Thunderous Hell Vine that had cultivated to the point of almost self-destruction was somewhat unexpected for Ye Qing.

"What, do you need its spirit ring?" Brigitte asked.

"If you choose it, it will be counted among your three spirit rings. If you choose it, you can only choose two more 100,000-year spirit beasts."

"No problem, this is it!" Ye Qing nodded without hesitation.

It is said that the Thunder Hell Vine, which possesses the bloodline of the Thunder God, has an unreasonable level of control over the lightning attribute. It is most likely the ultimate lightning. A spirit ring of the Thunder Hell Vine would be more suitable for it than an ordinary 100,000-year spirit ring.

The age limit can be increased later, but the quality of the soul rings is not easy to change.

“Alright, I’ll take you there.” Brigitte nodded gently, then reached out and gently lifted Ye Qing, holding him in her arms, and broke through space to head deeper into the core area.

Ye Qing felt an aura envelop him, carrying with it Brigitte's unique, fresh scent of nature, and most importantly, Brigitte's unreasonable...

I feel a little dizzy.

Having transmigrated to the Douluo Continent for nearly ten years, this was the first time Ye Qing had been so close to a woman. Previously, he had always believed that women were like a deadly poison that would only affect his cultivation, so he kept a safe distance from any woman.

The same applies to Xu Jiujiu, who also harbors some thoughts about him.

But Ye Qing never expected that the first woman to be so intimate with him would be this Emerald Swan…

Ye Qing's heart began to pound uncontrollably. He felt his suppressed emotions were starting to get out of control. Anyone would probably have trouble staying calm if they were held in the arms of a beauty like Brigitte.

"arrive."

The warm, soft embrace faded away, and Ye Qing, standing on the ground again, felt a slight sense of loss.

It smells so good, it feels so good, and it's so astringent!

I simply can't bear to part with it!

But seeing that Brigitte had already started walking forward, Ye Qing could only silently follow.

'That's not right. Although soul beasts don't have as many complicated emotions as humans, they still value their bodies. Even the Three-Eyed Golden Lion resists other creatures touching its body and will fly into a rage if touched. How much more so would Bi Ji?' Ye Qing's heart skipped a beat.

'This is... a Star Trek version of a honey trap?'

Thinking of this, Ye Qing looked at Bi Ji, whose graceful and pleasing posture was in front of him, and his eyes became a little strange.

Unseen by him, a faint blush graced Brigitte's exquisite face.

Gu Yuena's orders were absolute. Although she only allowed Biji to try to become Ye Qing's partner and win his heart over to her Star Dou Great Forest, provided she didn't feel any aversion to it, Biji didn't think that way after receiving the order.

She selectively ignored the word 'try' because it was Gu Yuena who made her do it, as it would make the Star Dou Great Forest a better place.

So from the moment she accepted this task, Brigitte was slowly beginning to see herself as the partner of this person who defied fate.

Physical contact is naturally not opposed.

It just takes a little time to gradually accept it.

But in Ye Qing's view, this was somewhat similar to Gu Yuena's operation, highlighting nothing more than a freebie; this plan was exactly like something Gu Yuena had devised...

Only after Brigitte stopped walking did Ye Qing recover from what had just happened. He almost bumped into Brigitte. Before that, he had even ignored the deafening thunder.

'Sigh, no matter how firm you are verbally, you're still easily manipulated when it comes to this.' Ye Qing sighed, expressing dissatisfaction with his own mental cultivation. A true eel needs to remain calm in the face of adversity!

But he wasn't enough!

'Princess, I need your help in my cultivation!'

"Is this it?" Suppressing the distracting thoughts in his mind, Ye Qing began to observe the surrounding environment. Other matters could be discussed later; obtaining the spirit ring was more important right now.

This is a valley with almost no vegetation. It is not very large, but a large number of huge rocks stand in the valley, making it look like a stone forest. The sky is dark, and a dark cloud hangs thousands of meters in the sky. You can vaguely see flashes of lightning in the clouds.

Boom!

A blinding, irregular bolt of lightning suddenly shot out from the clouds and struck the depths of the valley. The enormous sound of the lightning exploding through the air echoed for a long time in the small valley.

Immediately afterwards, another clap of thunder echoed through the valley. Although it was not as terrifying as the thunder of heaven and earth, it was still quite imposing.

sizzle...

Visible blue-white electric current suddenly surged from the depths of the valley after the second clap of thunder, flowing across the surface of the massive rocks that were clearly not suitable for conducting electricity, demonstrating just how high the voltage was.

"Sigh, it has indeed reached its limit." Brigitte sighed softly as she looked at the electric current patterns on the charred boulders.

The Thunderous Hell Vine grows by absorbing lightning. All the lightning that strikes it is absorbed by it as much as possible and turned into its own power. But now it chooses to channel these currents out to reduce the power it can withstand and slow down its growth rate, which proves that it is on the verge of exploding.

It may be gathering its strength now, wanting to be in its best condition for its final bloom.

Its age may be more than 50,000 years.

A soothing emerald light gradually emanated from Brigitte and spread throughout the valley. The valley, which had been dark and gloomy due to the clouds overhead, was now bursting with life after Brigitte's power shone through.

The resilient blue silver grass grows from the cracks in the rocks, its tender leaves swaying gently in the air, adding a touch of color to the barren valley.

As the primary target of Brigitte's healing, the violent lightning aura emanating from the Thunderous Hell Vine gradually calmed down under Brigitte's soothing touch, and its power, which was on the verge of exploding, was also suppressed.

Of course, this is only temporary.

Even Bi Ji couldn't help a Thunderous Hell Vine break through 100,000 years. Once Bi Ji's power dissipates, it will still revert to a level nine fixed-position soul-guided cannon shell that could explode at any time.

As the Thunderous Hell Vine calmed down, Biji established a mental link with it, telling it about her plans with these ferocious beasts and how much benefit she could gain by sacrificing herself to Ye Qing.

Lei Mingyan Yuteng listened silently.

It is a plant that thrives under lightning, the most indomitable being in the plant kingdom, a stubborn species that would rather self-destruct than compromise.

But it will listen to Brigitte's advice.

Chapter 79 Sacrifice, Fourth Soul Ring, Soul Power Ascension

Normally, no Soul Master could hunt down the Thunder Hell Vine, as its nature is far too fierce.

For the Thunderous Hell Vine, whose every cultivation is a defiance of the heavens, life and death are no longer important; they only want to conquer the thunder or perish in it.

They won't listen to anyone's advice or threats, except for Brigitte.

Or rather, in the Star Dou Great Forest, no soul beast would refuse Bi Ji's kindness, because her prestige in the Star Dou Great Forest was simply too high, even higher than that of Di Tian in some respects.

Among the ten-thousand-year-old soul beasts that have gained intelligence, there might be some who don't know Di Tian, ​​but very few who don't know Bi Ji.

This is all the prestige that has been accumulated bit by bit over tens of thousands of years of healing the soul beasts of the Star Dou Great Forest. Even this Thunderous Hell Vine has received help from Bi Ji and the Emerald Swan Clan.

Without Bi Ji, it might have died after cultivating for twenty or thirty thousand years.

Without the subsequent assistance of the Emerald Swan Clan, it would not have been able to reach the 60,000-year cultivation level that only a very few members of the Thunderous Hell Vine Clan could achieve.

Brigitte was right; it had been over 50,000 years, but it had also reached its limit.

“A person who defies fate, Lei Ming Yan Yu Teng has already agreed to the sacrifice, but the sacrifice of a ten-thousand-year soul beast is different from the sacrifice of a hundred-thousand-year soul beast. A hundred-thousand-year soul beast sacrifice can seal its own origin so that the soul master can slowly absorb it, but a ten-thousand-year soul beast cannot seal its own origin. Can you withstand its soul ring?” Bi Ji turned to look at Ye Qing.

"My name is Ye Qing. You can just call me by my name. Calling me the one who defies fate feels a bit strange." Ye Qing waved his hand. "As for my physical endurance, you can rest assured. As long as its lifespan does not exceed 70,000 years, I can withstand it."

“Alright, then follow me, Ye Qing.” Bi Ji nodded gently and walked towards the depths of the valley.

Ye Qing followed behind Bi Ji and stepped into the valley. Before long, they saw a plant growing on top of a stone pillar.

Its entire body is blue-purple, and its appearance is not much different from ordinary vines, but it is as thick as Ye Qing's arm. On the vines and leaves, there are a lot of irregular electric current patterns. When the vines sway, they also create tiny electric arcs in the air.

Ye Qing looked at its vines, which were over ten meters long, and nodded slightly.

This imposing aura truly lives up to its name, the Thunderous Hell Vine.

With only 60,000 years of cultivation, it was more threatening than most of the soul beasts he had seen in the Star Dou Great Forest. Ye Qing had once witnessed a powerful soul beast with a cultivation of around 90,000 years, but its aura was far inferior to that of the Thunderous Hell Vine before him.
