Soul Land 2: Body Sect

Chapter 291: Persuading the Evil Emperor

At this moment.

Even the Evil Emperor was shocked, let alone Xue Linglong, whose mouth dropped open in surprise.

She had never seen Du Qianjue (Du Qianjue) unleash his full power before. The aura emanating from him made even someone with her cultivation level of 800,000 years feel a sense of oppression.

"This is impossible! How could a mere human, barely over 20 years old, possess such strength?" The tone of the Evil Eye Tyrant Dominator was filled with disbelief.

"Of course, it's because I have enough support," Du Qianjue smiled slightly, as shadowy figures of soul beasts appeared behind him.

Some were human-shaped, while others were beast-shaped.

The Ice Emperor, Ice Bear King, Shengxin, Red Dragon...

A group of ten-thousand-year-old soul beasts simultaneously released their auras, calmly locking eyes with the Evil Eye Tyrant Dominator.

If they had faced the Evil Emperor when they were alive, they wouldn't have stood a chance. The power gap was so vast that they wouldn't have survived three moves against him.

But now, they had a big backer.

"Allow me to introduce my team!" Du Qianjue spread his arms as the soul beast shadows surrounded him, making him seem like the center of everything.

To convince the Evil Emperor to become his ninth soul ring, Du Qianjue naturally needed to reveal his plans. He had already shown his power, and his potential was evident. Now, the last thing to show was his divine mark.

As Du Qianjue spoke, the Evil Eye Tyrant Dominator's eyes flickered with hesitation and contemplation.

To be honest, Du Qianjue's words did indeed stir his heart. In fact, he was deeply moved. After all, his chances of surviving the 800,000-year heavenly tribulation were less than 30%. If he were more confident, he wouldn't have risked fighting Di Tian in the Star Dou Forest, attempting to steal the power of the Skydream Iceworm.

For every soul beast beyond 100,000 years, the heavenly tribulation loomed over them like the sword of Damocles, ready to claim their lives at any moment.

This was true for the Snow Emperor, Ice Emperor, Xiaobai, Shengxin—every one of them.

The Evil Emperor was no exception.

Only an exceptional existence like Di Tian, with the pure bloodline of the Dark Dragon King, had the confidence to pass the heavenly tribulation.

Seeing the Evil Eye Tyrant Dominator wavering, Du Qianjue didn't rush him, letting him consider the offer.

Du Qianjue's ninth soul ring didn't necessarily have to be the Evil Emperor. Although his 790,000-year soul ring would indeed be helpful, it would be more like the icing on the cake at this point.

It wouldn't make much difference to him.

The Evil Eye Tyrant Dominator's stiff tentacles finally relaxed, and he turned his gaze to Xue Linglong. "So, in your plan, will the Snow Emperor also sacrifice herself to you?"

"?"

Who are you looking down on?

Du Qianjue nearly wanted to poke the Evil Eye Tyrant Dominator's giant eye to knock some sense into him. His eye was so big, how could he not have some brain?

Did he really think Du Qianjue was another Tang San?!

"Of course not. I'm not interested in any ridiculous 'Revive My Lover' nonsense," Du Qianjue shook his head without hesitation, his voice dripping with scorn. "No matter how bad I am, I would never turn my woman into my soul ring."

Du Qianjue knew the meaning behind the 'Revive My Lover' reference, but Xue Linglong and the Evil Eye Tyrant Dominator didn't.

One was moved to tears, and the other was utterly confused.

"Though I don't understand what you're saying, I have to admit, you've convinced me." The Evil Eye Tyrant Dominator exhaled deeply, his giant eyes narrowing. "If you can guarantee that after you become a god, you will revive me as a divine beast, then I wouldn't mind lending you my strength."

"I don't trust you, a mere human, to keep your word. I want the Snow Emperor to vouch for you. Only if she speaks on your behalf will I agree."

"Fine, I promise for him," Xue Linglong nodded solemnly, her expression serious. "After becoming a god, we will revive you, no question."

"I swear on the name of the Ice God!"

With that, the Evil Eye Tyrant Dominator and Xue Linglong quickly finalized the deal before Du Qianjue could even say a word.

Considering that the Evil Eye Tyrant Dominator had lived for over 700,000 years, it was only natural that he was cautious. Du Qianjue didn't mind and simply squeezed Xue Linglong's hand, his eyes filled with gratitude.

Since meeting Xue Linglong, she had helped him so much.

So much that the thousands of years of Ice Marrow he gave her weren't nearly enough to repay her.

Some might think he was foolish to give all that Ice Marrow to Xue Linglong and keep none for himself.

But Xue Linglong was his woman!

For over a decade, whenever Du Qianjue needed help, hadn't she always dropped everything to help him?

Xue Linglong returned his gaze with a gentle smile, their eyes locking in a tender exchange, which made the Evil Eye Tyrant Dominator, observing from the side, feel awkward.

"Snow Emperor, I understand that you've never had a partner and may want to experience some... companionship," the Evil Eye Tyrant Dominator sighed, rolling his enormous eye. "But can't we save that for after the sacrificial ritual? You're making things awkward for me."

As he spoke, the Evil Eye Tyrant Dominator wisely used a mental barrier to block out the conversation, ensuring that only the three of them could hear his teasing.

Among equals, it was a light-hearted jest.

But if others, weaker and unrelated, heard it, it could be seen as an insult.

Hearing the Evil Emperor's jest, Xue Linglong's expression immediately turned icy, returning to her usual cold and aloof demeanor as the Snow Empress.

Only the slight blush on her ears betrayed her true feelings of embarrassment.

"There's nothing more to say. Since everything has been settled, let's proceed with the sacrifice," Xue Linglong said coolly. "With me here to protect the ritual, and this being your territory, I doubt anything will dare interfere."

The Evil Eye Tyrant Dominator nodded slightly before turning his gaze to Du Qianjue. "Then let's begin. Are you ready, human?"

"Of course. It's just absorbing a soul ring—no need for much preparation. Let's do it," Du Qianjue shrugged.

He had already absorbed several god-level soul rings, so the pressure from the Evil Eye Tyrant Dominator's ring wasn't nearly as intense.

In the next moment, a pillar of blood-red light shot into the sky! (End of chapter)
