Chapter 368 The Sixth Soul Ring, Dark Demon Evil God Tiger
Economically.
After several years of development, the Spirit Hall has long since broken free from the economic constraints of the two great empires.
Based on the network of branches of the Spirit Hall throughout the continent, the Spirit Hall Pan-Continental Business Alliance has expanded its business empire with incredible speed, reaching almost every corner of the Douluo Continent.
The content of commerce and trade covers almost every aspect.
Whether it's what a Soul Master needs or what an ordinary person needs, anything you can think of can be traded through the Spirit Hall's Pan-Continental Merchant Alliance.
With the vast commercial empire of the Pan-Continental Business Alliance at its disposal, the Spirit Hall not only gained a continuous stream of massive wealth and resources, but also indirectly leveraged and controlled part of the economic lifeline of the Heaven Dou and Star Luo Empires.
However, the Pan-Continental Business Alliance's layout and development process in the two great empires of Tiandou and Xingluo are also different.
In the Heavenly Dou Empire, due to the weakness of the Heavenly Dou royal family, the Xue family, their control over the empire was weak and ineffective, and imperial decrees had almost no effect outside the imperial city.
Furthermore, the entire Heaven Dou Empire has been almost completely infiltrated by the Spirit Hall.
Therefore, the Spirit Hall's Pan-Continental Business Alliance did not encounter much significant resistance in its layout and development within the Heaven Dou Empire.
To date, the Spirit Hall Pan-Continental Business Alliance has controlled more than half of the economic and trade activities of the Heaven Dou Empire.
It can be said that fortunes have changed, and the Spirit Hall has now seized control of the Heaven Dou Empire's economic lifeline, thus putting the empire in a difficult position.
As for the Star Luo Empire, things weren't so good.
Unlike the weak Xue family of the Heaven Dou royal family, the Dai family of the Star Luo royal family is powerful and has a much stronger control over the Star Luo Empire.
Moreover, the Star Luo Empire practices authoritarian and oppressive rule, and the competition is extremely bloody and cruel. In addition, the Star Luo Empire's attitude towards the Spirit Hall is tough, unfriendly, and even hostile.
The Spirit Hall's Pan-Continental Business Alliance has encountered unprecedented resistance in its layout and development within the Star Luo Empire, frequently facing encirclement and suppression from the Star Luo royal family and the imperial nobility.
Therefore, progress has been relatively slow.
However, thanks to the Star Luo Empire's strong and oppressive rule, there were naturally many voices within the Star Luo Empire opposing the Star Luo royal family.
The existence of these dissenting voices provided an opportunity for the Spirit Hall to infiltrate the Star Luo Empire, and also provided a guarantee and opportunity for the Pan-Continental Business Alliance to lay out and develop in the Star Luo Empire.
Although its development was slow, the Pan-Continental Business Alliance eventually grew stronger and gained control of a considerable amount of resources and wealth of the Star Luo Empire.
To date, the Star Luo royal family and the imperial nobles have been unable to do anything about the Pan-Continental Merchant Alliance, unless they are willing to completely break ties with the Spirit Hall.
Emperor Dai Tianfeng, the supreme ruler of the Star Luo Empire, was unaware of the true extent of the Spirit Hall's influence and naturally dared not risk offending the Spirit Hall to the point of expulsion from the Star Luo Empire.
Helpless, the Star Luo royal family and imperial nobles could only swallow their anger and acquiesce to the existence of the Spirit Hall Pan-Continental Merchant Alliance within the Star Luo Empire.
Many people have even chosen to cooperate with them.
There's no other way; if you can't beat them, join them.
After all, no one wants to mess with Gold Soul Coins.
Also.
Regarding military matters...
With the support of massive funds and resources provided by the Pan-Continental Business Alliance.
After retaining a certain number of Soul Masters to continue fulfilling the Spirit Hall's responsibilities—suppressing evil spirits and maintaining order in the Soul Master world.
The Spirit Hall's Spirit Master Legion has begun to expand and be formed based on the original law enforcement team.
As for the regular legions...
The Spirit Hall has secretly infiltrated and controlled several kingdoms, duchies, and provinces within the Heaven Dou Empire and the Star Luo Empire, and has begun to secretly recruit and train ordinary soldiers.
Currently, the Spirit Hall controls a small amount of land and population, and its recruitment of soldiers is also limited. It is not yet able to form an effective fighting force and can only recruit soldiers slowly.
As the Spirit Hall develops, it will control more and more land and population. After a few more years of recruitment, it will not be a problem to train an ordinary legion with strong combat power.
Besides.
At Ye Qifeng's suggestion, Bibi Dong also established a special martial soul force within the Soul Master Legion.
Then, a group of elite personnel with amazing talent and strong strength, or special talents with special abilities of martial souls, will be selected from various soul master legions, spirit hall law enforcement teams, temple warriors and holy emperor warriors to join.
In addition to the requirements for talent, strength, and martial soul characteristics.
The members of the Martial Soul Special Forces also have extremely high requirements in terms of quality. Members who join must be intelligent, brave, dedicated, and have certain combat experience.
This force will be directly led and commanded by the Pope, and will be equipped with the most advanced and sophisticated soul-guided weapons, high-level assassination equipment, and medicines and poisons, etc.
Their main tasks include harassment and sabotage, assassination, reconnaissance behind enemy lines, intelligence gathering, and counter-subversion, counter-ambush, and counter-hijacking.
The idea of the Martial Soul Special Forces was proposed by Ye Qifeng.
Therefore, Bibi Dong waved her hand and handed over the command and control of this army to Ye Qifeng.
Even the formation of the troops and the selection of personnel were all entrusted to him.
Therefore, in the latter half of that year, in addition to his cultivation, Ye Qifeng also had to work hard to establish the Martial Soul Special Forces.
…………
one year later.
Starry Sky Forest.
The moon hangs high, the stars are few, and the world is covered in silver.
Various strange and unusual insect chirps and bird calls, along with countless animal roars and shrieks, rose and fell, echoing throughout the entire forest.
Somewhere on the outskirts of a forest.
Beneath a colossal tree that takes two people to encircle, with lush, towering branches and leaves.
At that moment, two people were sitting around a campfire.
In the Star Dou Great Forest, where spirit beasts dwell everywhere and danger lurks at every turn, lighting a fire is practically a taboo.
Because this could very likely attract a large number of soul beasts to attack.
To light a fire rashly is almost tantamount to suicide.
However, the two men seemed oblivious to the danger, not at all worried about their safety. They not only lit the campfire brightly but also leisurely roasted meat.
Strangely enough.
Although many spirit beasts had already discovered the campfire and the two people, not a single one dared to approach within a kilometer of this area.
This shows that the two people by the campfire are not to be trifled with; even the ferocious and bloodthirsty soul beasts in the Star Dou Great Forest dare not provoke them.
Judging from their silhouettes, the two people by the campfire are a man and a woman.
The two sat side by side on a flat rock, which did not seem to be originally there, but rather as if it had been moved from somewhere else.
The stone was originally irregular, somewhat rough, and even covered with some moss, but the side where the two were sitting seemed to have been cut smooth and clean by some kind of sharp blade.
Bathed in the dim light of the fire.
It can be clearly seen that the man in the pair of men and women is dressed in a black outfit, with a tall and straight figure, a handsome face, and striking eyebrows and bright eyes.
He had long, jet-black hair, casually tied behind his head with a light purple ribbon, and exuded a gentle and peaceful aura.
This is an extremely handsome man.
At this moment, the man was holding two slender wooden sticks in his hands, extending them above the campfire and slowly rotating them.
On each of the two slender wooden sticks is a soft-boned rabbit, a low-level soul beast that is numerous and ubiquitous in the outer area of the Star Dou Great Forest and has already had its fur and internal organs removed.
The soft-boned rabbit on the wooden stick sizzles and releases its aroma as it is roasted over the high heat of the campfire.
The woman next to the man had short, light purple hair that reached her ears, and was wearing a soft leather outfit that accentuated her figure.
She has a great figure, fair skin, delicate features, and a stunningly beautiful face, exuding both charm and a touch of heroism.
The woman sat on a rock, her posture slightly languid yet elegant, with a faint, charming smile playing on her red lips.
She crossed one arm over her chest, while the other hand gently hooked back and rested on her snow-white chin. Her alluring eyes, brimming with moisture, reflected the campfire before her. As her gaze shifted, she would occasionally steal a glance at the man beside her.
The handsome man and beautiful woman in front of the campfire were none other than Ye Qifeng, the Holy Son of the Spirit Hall, and his ninth sister, who is now the Spirit Iris Douluo, Nihuang.
Ye Qifeng came to the Star Dou Great Forest this time to hunt for the sixth soul ring.
As for Nihuang, she naturally came to help him find and hunt soul beasts, and to act as his protector.
In fact, with Ye Qifeng's current strength, he doesn't need a protector and there's not much of a problem. As long as it's not someone above the Soul Douluo level who specifically comes to target him, there's nothing to worry about.
Even against a low-level Soul Douluo, he has the ability to fight. Even if he can't win, escaping is still not a problem.
…………
Today and today.
Ye Qifeng has successfully absorbed his sixth soul ring and become a Soul Emperor with a soul power of level 62.
His sixth spirit ring came from a spirit beast that was over 60,000 years old.
Dark Demon Evil God Tiger!
That's right, it's the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger that was originally killed by Tang San with the hidden weapon Zhuge Crossbow.
Recorded in the ancient books in the Spirit Hall's archives.
The Dark Demon God Tiger is a special magical beast, extremely rare and nearly extinct.
It is also a top-tier soul beast.
In terms of bloodline level, it is even higher than the two overlords of the Star Dou Great Forest—the Azure Bull Python and the Titan Giant Ape—and it is no exaggeration to call it a super soul beast.
Because it is so top-tier, the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger has a hard time surviving and growing in the world of soul beasts.
Furthermore, the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger enhances its strength in a unique way, not through its own cultivation, but by devouring the flesh, soul, and soul power of other living beings, including soul beasts and soul masters.
Both are evil spirit beasts, both are beings that devour life.
The Human-Faced Demon Spider, known as the "Nightmare of Small Soul Beasts" and the "Terrifying Evil Slayer," still has certain limitations in its growth.
Even if one cultivates to the extreme, one is still only a ten-thousand-year-old soul beast, unable to even pass the hundred-thousand-year limit.
But the Dark Demon God Tiger is different.
It is a top-tier soul beast, capable of challenging opponents of higher levels. With a cultivation level of ten thousand years, it can challenge soul beasts of a hundred thousand years.
Legend has it that the Dark Demon God Tiger was created by the incarnation of an evil god, which tainted it with evil and gave it some of the evil god's attributes.
If one cultivates to the extreme, it is even possible to attain the position of an evil god.
So, if it gets allowed to grow, the consequences will be unimaginable.
For these reasons.
Wherever the Dark Demon God Tiger appears, it will not be tolerated by other creatures and will surely be attacked by them. Before it can grow stronger, it will be completely annihilated.
Neither the world of spirit beasts nor the human world will provide it with a place to survive.
That's why the Dark Demon God Tiger is so rare, almost extinct.
…………
In order to find a suitable soul beast as the sixth soul ring for the Shadow Martial Soul.
Ye Qifeng and Nihuang stayed deep in the Star Dou Great Forest for more than half a month.
Originally, Ye Qifeng only wanted to find a soul beast of a reasonable age as his sixth soul ring, and his target was not the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger.
However.
People are not as good as the sky.
Night Seven Wind is just that lucky.
Just as he and Nihuang found a ten-thousand-year-old soul beast that matched the sixth soul ring of their martial soul, and were about to hunt it down.
A sudden change occurred in the core area of the Star Dou Great Forest.
It appears that several unknown, king-level soul beasts are engaged in a fierce battle.
The aftershocks of the battle even reached the mixed zone outside the core area, where ancient soul beasts gathered.
The ancient soul beasts of the mixed zone fled in droves to avoid the disaster.
As a result, several sizable beast tides occurred in the Star Dou Great Forest.
The ten-thousand-year-old soul beast that Ye Qifeng and Nihuang had their eyes on also escaped this calamity.
To avoid being caught in the aftermath of the battle, and also to escape the beast tide.
Ye Qifeng and Nihuang temporarily withdrew from the mixed zone deep in the forest and returned to the central region, where they lay in wait for several days.
However, during the evacuation, Ye Qifeng faintly heard the sounds of cows mooing, gorillas roaring, and tigers howling from the direction of the core area.
Combining his memories of the Douluo World from his time on Blue Star, he quickly identified the three soul beasts that had fought a major battle in the core area.
Those are the two licking beasts dwelling in the Lake of Life—the Azure Bull Python Daming and the Titan Giant Ape Erming, and their mortal enemy—the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger.
Knowing that the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger was no match for the Azure Bull Python Da Ming and the Titan Giant Ape Er Ming, and would be severely beaten and forced to flee with serious injuries, he realized that the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger was no match for the Azure Bull Python Da Ming and the Titan Giant Ape Er Ming.
After weighing the pros and cons, Ye Qifeng immediately changed his plan and decided to find the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger, intercept and kill it, and use it as his sixth soul ring.
The Dark Demon God Tiger possesses multiple attributes: evil, lightning, wind, and power.
Its evil attribute evolved from the dark attribute, making it a perfect fit for Ye Qifeng's sixth soul ring.
However, the Dark Demon God Tiger is not easy to deal with; even in a severely injured state, one must be cautious.
After all, that thing possesses extremely high intelligence, in no way inferior to humans, and is insidious and cunning.
In addition, its powerful physique makes it a formidable weapon, with sharp claws, fangs, black wings on its back symbolizing corruption, a scorpion-like hook at its tail, and its entire body serving as its offensive weapon.
In addition, it possesses many mysterious, powerful, and bizarre skills, as well as innate domains, ultimate skills, and so on.
Therefore, if you want to hunt down the Dark Demon God Tiger, you must be extremely careful and plan carefully.
Otherwise, one could easily fall into a ditch and be killed by the Dark Demon God Tiger.
Thank you [绮罗酿] for the 500 Qidian Coins!
