Douluo Continent: The Holy Evil Emperor

"what!!!"

A sharp cry echoed through the valley. The snow lotus that the Snow Emperor had swallowed also took effect at this moment. Taking advantage of the moment when the snow lotus was in effect, she seized the opportunity to begin sealing her own origin.

In the dazzling light, the Snow Empress's tall and perfect body gradually became illusory, and her immense power gradually compressed into a dazzling snow pill.

"Hoo... The source has been sealed, and I can begin to take human form." The Snow Emperor, who had become extremely ethereal, also had a strong sense of exhaustion on her face.

Ultimately, her true form was merely a spirit formed from ice and snow elements, no different from a pure energy being. This is why her process of sealing her origin was relatively smooth.

After a brief moment of rest, the Snow Empress opened her mouth and swallowed the Snow Pill in front of her. Her already illusory figure completely disappeared, and her soul merged into the Snow Pill, beginning to nurture a human body.

This process doesn't take long; it can be completed in a week at most.

A week, under normal circumstances, would be nothing compared to the Snow Empress's long lifespan, passing in the blink of an eye. But in the present moment, the Snow Empress felt as if each day was an eternity, watching her body irreversibly develop into a human form. As the day of successful transformation drew closer, the Snow Empress's heart grew increasingly tense.

As the saying goes, no one knows whether tomorrow or an accident will come first.

The same goes for Xue Di.

The seven-day transformation period was supposed to be over soon, but on the last day, just when her resistance had dropped to rock bottom, a transparent circular dome sealed her transformed embryo inside.

"Hahaha... I never expected my luck to be so good, that I would actually encounter a 100,000-year-old soul beast in the process of transforming!" A loud laugh filled with intense greed and ecstasy rang out.

'Damn humans!'

The Snow Empress, who had already been sealed away, was furious and wanted to fight back, but she was already sealed inside by the soul tool when she was at her weakest, and now she couldn't even self-destruct.

She is currently in the final stage of transforming into a human from an embryo. If she had done it a day earlier, she could have forcibly interrupted the transformation process and perished together with the human who destroyed her last hope. If she had done it a day later, she would have already been able to protect herself after successfully transforming.

But it just so happens to be today...

Filled with intense resentment and bitterness, the Snow Empress was finally successfully sealed away, transforming into a blue-white stream of energy, waiting in the Conferred God Platform. Once the Conferred God Platform is opened, whoever stands before her will bear the brunt of her boundless wrath.

As for... why is it that this place, which is clearly the deepest part of the far north core circle and a forbidden zone of life that no human has dared to set foot in for thousands of years, has been visited by a level nine soul master today, and who happens to have the Conferred God Platform in his hands?

No one knows.

After retrieving the Conferred God Platform, this level-nine Soul Master looked at the Snow Emperor's embryo with intense greed in his eyes.

If he hadn't already reached the ninth level, he would have absorbed this 100,000-year-old soul beast embryo himself no matter what. However, he was so focused on researching soul tools in order to become a ninth-level soul master, and he never married or had any offspring, so he couldn't give this embryo to his descendants.

Then the only option is to sell it to obtain enough profit to research more soul tools.

It's definitely not feasible within the Sun Moon Empire. I used a lot of resources from Mingde Hall to become a level nine Soul Master, and considering past favors, this embryo certainly won't be able to bring me enough benefits.

If you were to sell them in Douluo Three Kingdoms, you could probably get enough to buy yourself a whole set of top-grade soul bones, right?

As long as one absorbs a soul bone of high enough quality, one may even have the opportunity to break through to level 95 and have the potential to become a level 10 Soul Master!

Soul bones are precisely what the Sun Moon Empire lacks most, while the Douluo Three Kingdoms possess an astonishing reserve of soul bones.

"Isn't next year's Soul Battle Tournament going to be held in the Star Luo Empire? Heh, they'll probably be happy to pay a high price for the 100,000-year-old embryo in my possession, right?"

The ninth-level Soul Master gave a cold laugh and turned to walk towards the outside of the far north ice plains.

And just like that, right under the noses of all the northernmost spirit beasts, a level nine spirit master who wasn't even a Super Douluo easily took away their leader from the far north.

Snow Emperor announced that his plane crashed and was eliminated upon landing.

……

The last month passed quickly, and the holiday was just around the corner.

Ye Qing packed his bags and left Shrek City once again.

Of course, his destination this time was Xingluo City. Before heading to the Star Dou Great Forest to find the six-winged demon tiger to sacrifice to him, Ye Qing needed to go to Xingluo City. After all, Princess Jiujiu had been eagerly anticipating their once-a-year meeting, and Ye Qing felt it was better not to neglect this princess.

Next year is the Star Luo City Soul Battle Tournament from the original novel. In order to ensure that the Snow Empress Embryo can be obtained smoothly, Ye Qing has two objectives for going to the Star Luo Empire this time.

One reason was to find out whether the Snow Emperor's embryo had been sent to Xingluo City. The plan for the top-tier auction was definitely not something Xu Jiawei came up with on a whim; he must have already had the embryo before he came up with this plan.

Therefore, it is very likely that the Snow Emperor's embryo was sent to Xingluo City some time in advance. Regardless of whether this speculation is true or not, Ye Qing needs to test it out.

As for the second reason, even if the Snow Emperor's embryo had not yet been sent to Xingluo City, it would not prevent Ye Qing from going to Xu Jiujiu to exchange feelings and take some herbs to exchange for more gold soul coins, which could be used to purchase the Snow Emperor's embryo a year later.

In any case, Ye Qing would definitely not let go of this huge opportunity.

How powerful would a seventh spirit ring of 690,000 years make his martial spirit true body?

Ye Qing was really looking forward to it!

Chapter 121 Ye Qing's tactics are a long and winding road.

After checking into the Xinghuang Hotel again, Ye Qing sat by the window, enjoying the food she had just bought, and silently waited for the long time to arrive.

To be honest, Ye Qing had never even been to the Star Luo Empire's palace. Mainly, he didn't really like going to those kinds of places; they were heavily guarded, had complicated rules, and there wasn't much to see.

Anyway, every time he arrived in Xingluo City, Xu Jiujiu would receive the news, and he only needed to wait for her there.

Sure enough, not long after, Xu Jiujiu's beautiful figure in a long gold dress appeared before him like a beautiful butterfly.

"Xuan! I missed you so much~" The princess walked briskly up behind Ye Qing, hugged his neck, and buried her face in his shoulder.

"I missed you too, that's why I came to find you right away." Ye Qing smiled slightly, took Xu Jiujiu's hand and pulled her into his arms. "Come and have something to eat together. You'll never get tired of the food in Xingluo City, no matter how many times you eat it."

She sat obediently on his lap for a long time, enjoying the delicious food in front of her while chatting and laughing.

They only meet once a year, so Xu Jiujiu cherishes the time she spends with Ye Qing. It's all thanks to this Douluo Continent; otherwise, a long-distance relationship where they don't contact each other all year would definitely be doomed.

Seeing that Xu Jiujiu's eyes were full of him, Ye Qing's eyes flickered slightly, and he began to silently plan some things.

but……

We need to test the waters a little more.

For the next three days, Ye Qing accompanied Xu Jiujiu to have fun, allowing her to release all the longing she had accumulated over the past year. On the night of the third day, the two went to the top floor of the Xinghuang Hotel again to enjoy wine under the cover of night.

After another drink, Ye Qing hugged Xu Jiujiu from behind, rested his chin on her shoulder, and whispered, "Jiujiu, why don't we stay here tonight?"

Because Ye Qing was speaking right next to Xu Jiujiu's ear from this angle, his warm breath made Xu Jiujiu's whole body go weak.

"Ah...? This..." Xu Jiujiu was slightly drunk, her already rosy face turning into a ripe apple, but facing Ye Qing's affectionate eyes, she couldn't bring herself to refuse.

After struggling internally for a while, Xu Jiujiu nodded shyly.

"it is good……"

In the shadows, Man Yi felt a chill run down her spine and gasped.

Holy crap, this young man...

"Kid, you..." Man Yi was about to warn Ye Qing when Ye Qing retorted with a forceful retort.

"Alright, it's not what you think." Ye Qing glanced at the void not far away, his lips moved, and his voice was accurately carried by his soul power into Manyi's ears.

With his current strength, Man Yi's disguise was no different from nothing. His warning look made the Nebula Douluo's hair stand on end.

She actually sensed a strong sense of crisis from Ye Qing.

She usually only felt this way when a strong person of the same level showed her hostility, but Ye Qing's mere glance made her feel the danger.

But Ye Qing's little display of skill did indeed calm her down temporarily, and she stopped jumping. Manyi was also quite curious to see what Ye Qing was up to.

On the other hand, after agreeing to stay with Ye Qing for the night, Xu Jiujiu shyly hid in Ye Qing's arms. As an imperial princess, she naturally couldn't be ignorant of everything. Although she had never seen the elaborate entertainments in the aristocratic circles, she had heard about them to some extent.

Moreover, the Starlight Auction House is similar to the Treasure Pavilion in some ways; apart from the auctioneers, the maids are all priced.

However, knowing this is one thing, but when it actually happens to Xu Jiujiu, how can she remain calm? At this moment, her heart is already pounding and she is filled with anxiety, with anticipation and fear constantly intertwined.

The only thing I didn't have was regret.

And so, in a daze, Xu Jiujiu was led back to the hotel room by Ye Qing, who had his arm around her waist. Under Xu Jiujiu's gentle and shy gaze, the scene she had imagined—Ye Qing pouncing on her like a hungry wolf and devouring her until there was nothing left—did not happen.

Xu Jiujiu nervously gripped the hem of her skirt, glanced furtively at Ye Qing who seemed to be deep in thought, and whispered, "Xuan, what are you thinking about?"

'Why haven't you started yet?' That was the last thing she said.

"Jiujiu, have you ever heard of Qiluo Tulip?" Ye Qing seemed to snap out of her reverie, turned around, and asked Xu Jiujiu with a smile.

With her mind filled with bitterness, Xu Jiujiu never expected Ye Qing to suddenly ask such a question. She subconsciously answered, "Of course I know. The immortal herb, Qiluo Tulip, was once consumed by Ning Rongrong, the Nine-Colored Goddess of the first generation of Shrek Seven Devils. It allowed her to successfully evolve the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda Martial Soul, which is unprecedented and unparalleled in the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School."

Then, after a long while, he was completely bewildered: "Xuan, why are you suddenly asking this?"

"It's nothing, it's just that I like you a little more than Ning Tian." Ye Qing didn't speak, but reached into his soul tool and took out a jade box. He slowly opened it, and inside the jade box, a magnificent and beautiful tulip lay quietly.

Seeing Xu Jiujiu's eyes suddenly glaze over, Ye Qing smiled and patted her head.

"This is the Qiluo Tulip. Its ability to absorb the essence of the sun and moon is a good match for your Star Crown Martial Soul. Since it can work on the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda Martial Soul, it should also be able to help your Martial Soul evolve."

"Take it; it's a gift from me."

This was a decision he made after careful consideration.

Giving the Qiluo Tulip to Ning Tian would certainly create a powerful ally for the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda Martial Soul, but to be honest, the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, which had already declined, had nothing that Ye Qing could be interested in except for money.

With Shrek Academy as his backing, Ye Qing has absolutely no need to win over the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School.

Moreover, he is only one spirit ring away from breaking through to the Soul Emperor level, while Ning Tian has probably only just broken through to the Soul Venerable level.

With such a huge gap, even if Ning Tian exhausted himself, he still couldn't keep up with Ye Qing's pace, so this help was practically useless.

As for money... it's something you really need when you don't have it, but for Ye Qing right now it's just a string of numbers. On the other hand, Xu Jiujiu has not only confirmed their relationship, but he was also able to keep her at the hotel with just a word, ready to offer herself to him.

Before this, he hadn't taken out the Qiluo Tulip, nor had he explained why he had stayed for so long. She imagined that Ye Qing wanted her body, but she still stayed.

Is it a loss to give Qiluo tulips to eat?
