The so-called Evil Eye was not a single clan; not all Evil Eyes had the same abilities. The Evil Eye was also divided into different races. Among them, in the Evil Eye clan, the fewer abilities one had, the stronger they were. In other words, the fewer innate soul skills, the more formidable their strength.
And the Evil Eye Tyrant Overlord, it only had one attribute, and that was spiritual. Relying on its powerful spiritual ability, it could display ever-changing spiritual soul skills. And the terror of its attack range even surpassed that of the Beast God Di Tian.
And this Fire Evil Tyrant before them, from the attack it had sent out earlier and the color of its tentacles at this time, one could tell that it had at least three attributes: the spiritual attribute that an Evil Eye was bound to have, as well as the fire attribute and the corrosion attribute.
"Our luck isn't very good. Every ten-thousand-year Evil Eye that is killed could possibly be discovered by that Evil Emperor," Jing Hongchen's brow furrowed slightly. With his strength, it wasn't a difficult matter to deal with both of these soul beasts. The key was that they had already gone quite deep into the Jieluo Forest. Once discovered by that Evil Emperor, I'm afraid no one present would have a chance of surviving.
"Then Grandpa, let's hurry up and leave," Meng Hongchen tugged at the corner of his clothes and said weakly.
"Wait, just now a girl disappeared in front of us, we..." Xiao Hongchen hurriedly said, but what he got in return was Jing Hongchen's stern expression.
"What time is it now? Do you want everyone to die here?"
Facing Jing Hongchen's scolding, even if Xiao Hongchen was unwilling, he could only let it go.
"That's right, Hall Master Hongchen, let's evacuate quickly!" How could the two Soul King teachers have ever seen such a formation? They immediately pleaded. The other teacher also nodded in deep agreement.
Little did they know that just this one sentence from him had already sentenced them to death in Huo Yuhao's heart.
It was true that he had brought the people here, but he would also have guaranteed their safety. But he had not expected that at such a critical moment, the character of these people would be so vile. Anyway, since Jing Hongchen was here, Huo Yuhao naturally would not bother with their lives anymore.
In the Kamui space, Ju Zi could also see what was happening outside. Before, she had been afraid because she had inexplicably appeared in another dimension with a young boy. But when she heard the two teachers disregarding her life or death, the feeling of fear instantly turned into grief and indignation.
She was just a little girl under ten years old. How could she accept the vile attitude of a teacher disregarding a student at a moment of crisis?
And just at this time, Huo Yuhao turned his head. That familiar, delicate and childish face instantly made Ju Zi stunned.
"Yuhao?"
"It's me, Sister Ju Zi," Huo Yuhao nodded and gave her a reassuring smile. "Trust me, you won't be in any danger."
"Even if the sky falls, I will stand in front of you. I am your ally of justice."
For some reason, the youth's tender voice made the originally worried and frightened young girl inexplicably calm down at once. That not-so-broad shoulder seemed to have become her only reliance at this time.
Ju Zi broke into a smile through her tears and nodded with all her might. Tears couldn't stop falling.
"Sister Ju Zi, do you want that big eyeball as your soul ring?" Huo Yuhao looked at the back of Jing Hongchen leading the group away, grinned, and asked.
"But..." Ju Zi looked at Huo Yuhao with worry. She had also learned about the age limit for absorbing a soul ring. Her first soul ring, at best, could only absorb a hundred-year soul beast. But the Fire Evil Tyrant before them, no matter how one looked at it, had a cultivation of more than ten thousand years.
"Trust me," Huo Yuhao had long since received the true teachings of Electrolux. He had even taken on a ferocious beast. What's more, this mere miscellaneous fish of a few tens of thousands of years before him?
Jing Hongchen's escape speed, plus his advanced flying soul tool, was extremely fast, even staggering. It wasn't long before he was far from the attack range of the two soul beasts. This also made it convenient for Huo Yuhao to show himself and do his work.
"Sister Ju Zi, you stay here properly. Watch your little brother show his great might."
Without waiting for Ju Zi to stop him, Huo Yuhao had already drilled out of the Kamui space, directly blocking the path of the two great soul beasts. Four lustrous white soul rings appeared one by one.
"A Soul Ancestor?" Ju Zi, in the Kamui space, almost had her jaw drop. It was truly hard to imagine that a child under six years old would actually be a four-ring Soul Ancestor expert.
What's with those white soul rings? Aren't those the trashiest ten-year soul rings? He wants to take on two ten-thousand-year-plus soul beasts with these four "trash" soul rings?
Seeing the two soul beasts shift their target to attack Huo Yuhao, Ju Zi's heart immediately jumped to her throat.
My foolish little brother, you absolutely must not do anything stupid!
"Sorry, my target is that big eyeball. You, get to the side for me!" Huo Yuhao let out a "hehe" laugh and quickly switched to his second martial soul, the Immortal Spirit Wood.
"Sage Art! Advent of World Tree!"
He clapped his hands, and whatever he called for, came.
The next moment, countless huge trees drilled out from underground. The two soul beasts, whose bodies were originally quite large, were like a drop in the ocean in front of the entire forest. They were instantly enveloped by countless giant trees. The Devouring Dragon, which was not needed by Huo Yuhao, was even more so like a little chick, pinched in the hand of a giant tree palm, letting out an extremely painful howl.
"Devouring Dragon, you are too dangerous. I must seal you here!"
Huo Yuhao shamelessly controlled the giant tree to bind the miserable Devouring Dragon layer by layer. The characteristic of the Immortal Spirit Wood restraining all soul beasts was activated. The Devouring Dragon, which had originally looked very mighty and domineering, was instantly drained of its soul power by Huo Yuhao and fell powerlessly in the tree palm.
Then he saw that on the other side, the fiery red single eye of the Fire Evil Tyrant lit up. One after another, strange, twisted light patterns spread outwards, as if the brown patterns around its head had become illusory.
Spiritual Force Field—the innate soul skill of the Evil Eye clan. All opponents whose spiritual power was weaker than it would be suppressed by the spiritual force field. Depending on their cultivation and spiritual power, the suppressed person would experience different states such as dizziness, sluggishness, fatigue, dejection, weakness, etc. This was also one of the control abilities that the Evil Eye clan was best at.
Huo Yuhao's eyes were full of amusement. Facing the suppression of the spiritual force field, his sarcastic gaze did not waver in the slightest. When it came to spiritual power, besides the Silver Dragon King, Di Tian, and the Evil Emperor, who else would dare to be presumptuous in front of him?
"Give it here! Sage Art, Myojinmon!"
This time, the trees did not drill out from underground, but appeared from the void from top to bottom, transforming into the shape of torii gates, and landed on the body of the Fire Evil Tyrant, imprisoning it firmly.
Ju Zi in the Kamui space was completely dumbfounded. The scene before her had truly overturned her cognition. Could this be played out by a four-ring Soul Ancestor?
Huo Yuhao landed back on the ground and came before the Fire Evil Tyrant. He knew that if he were to rashly kill it, it would surely attract that hundred-thousand-year Evil Eye Tyrant, which was the Evil Emperor's son.
Huo Yuhao's right eye suddenly widened. The ripple patterns in his pupil instantly twisted into the shape of a crow. The Fire Evil Tyrant, which was looking at him, instantly became honest and stopped struggling.
Kotoamatsukami. This was the first time Huo Yuhao had truly used this ability to twist an opponent's will.
Every use of this ability was accompanied by an extremely long cooldown time. The cooldown time would also continuously shorten as Huo Yuhao's spiritual power cultivation improved. If one were to say that when he had just obtained this ability, there was a half-year cooldown time, now it only needed a month to be used again.
For the sake of Ju Zi's future, Huo Yuhao had decisively used this soul skill on this Fire Evil Tyrant.
"Yuhao, this is?" The next moment, Ju Zi was released by him from the Kamui space. The two of them stood before this no-longer-moving Fire Evil Tyrant.
"Don't worry. This fellow will bring you several soul rings," Huo Yuhao gently took her small hand and walked closer to this Fire Evil Tyrant.
Next was the contract time for creating a soul spirit. It was just a mere ten-thousand-year soul beast. Huo Yuhao had a hundred percent certainty of making it smoothly become Ju Zi's soul spirit, and at the same time, it would add four soul rings for her in the future.
At the very least, before Ju Zi became a Soul King, she would no longer have to consider the problem of soul rings.
"Sister Ju Zi, do you believe me?" Huo Yuhao gave her a sweet smile and said.
Ju Zi, having survived a disaster, the look in her beautiful eyes as she looked at Huo Yuhao seemed to have something more. How could she possibly doubt this ally of justice who belonged solely to her?
"Alright, listen to me next. Relax your mind. I have a way to make it become your soul ring and... soul spirit!"
Ju Zi had never heard of the concept of a soul spirit before, but looking at Huo Yuhao's confident appearance, she obediently relaxed.
Because the Fire Evil Tyrant was affected by Kotoamatsukami, it had completely obeyed Huo Yuhao's orders. Naturally, there was no need to worry about Ju Zi suffering a backlash.
In an instant, with Huo Yuhao's body as the center, a not-so-strong but somewhat viscous spiritual power surged out from his body, enveloping both Ju Zi and the Fire Evil Tyrant within.
A soft golden light shot out from Huo Yuhao's purple-red Spirit Eyes and landed on the big eyeball of the Fire Evil Tyrant.
The Fire Evil Tyrant's body trembled a little, and then it prostrated there.
Huo Yuhao's powerful spiritual power was simply not something it could contend with. It went almost straight in. Soon, Huo Yuhao found its soul imprint and its spiritual origin.
A faint golden light began to appear on the Fire Evil Tyrant's body. Under Huo Yuhao's guidance, its spiritual origin, soul imprint, a portion of its most refined soul power, and the mysterious energy contained in its innate bloodline began to condense.
This process was somewhat long. After all, the target this time was a soul beast with a cultivation of over ten thousand years and the girl he admired. At the same time, this was also the first time Huo Yuhao had conducted an experiment through a physical entity. He did not dare to be the slightest bit careless. Everything was carried out with extreme caution.
In terms of the research of soul spirits, no one was more profound than Electrolux. With the improvement of his spiritual cultivation, Huo Yuhao had a more and more profound understanding of the magic that Electrolux had passed on to him. Combined with the changes in his own martial soul, every time he went into seclusion, his ability to control his spiritual power would be enhanced.
After a full quarter of an hour, the golden light on the Fire Evil Tyrant's body began to become stronger. It could be seen that the golden light began to surge forward from its tail, and wherever the golden light passed, its body began to wither and dim. The big eyeball was the first to lose its luster, then its lower limbs. And the forward-moving golden light became brighter and brighter.
Suddenly, a beam of light landed on Ju Zi's forehead, while another was pulling at the Fire Evil Tyrant. Under the effect of the spell taught by Electrolux, they finally approached to within a foot of each other.
Under the guidance of Huo Yuhao's will, Ju Zi slowly raised her right hand and pressed it on the big eyeball of the Fire Evil Tyrant. She also began to chant something from her mouth. The Fire Evil Tyrant let out a sound similar to a whimper.
Under their feet, the hexagram that had appeared out of thin air became brighter and brighter. One after another, strange symbols began to rise, circling around their bodies. A soft spiritual fluctuation and soul power fluctuation also surrounded them.
This situation was somewhat similar to absorbing a soul ring. Ju Zi was indeed absorbing something from the Fire Evil Tyrant. The Fire Evil Tyrant's life force was continuously weakening, but its soul ring did not merge into Ju Zi's body.
He had already helped Ju Zi and the Fire Evil Tyrant complete the contract. Next, it would depend on whether Huo Yuhao could forcibly control the huge soul power of the Fire Evil Tyrant to complete the fusion.

Author's Note: Having fused with a ten-thousand-year Fire Evil Tyrant, Ju Zi can also be considered to have taken off on the spot. She is also the only member of the protagonist's team to be cultivated from the first soul ring. In the original timeline, what kind of strength will she possess?
