Su Yu's spiritual power underwent a qualitative transformation, breaking through into a realm where it became tangible and substantial.

Faintly, Su Yu could sense some kind of power lurking deep within his spiritual energy.

Deep in the Evil Forest

Kong Deming released his soul power, and his materialized spiritual energy collided with the Evil Emperor's spiritual force.

Xuan Ziwen's face turned pale, clearly injured by the momentary spiritual shock. However, fortunately, he had absorbed the Holy Soul Grass and, with the aid of his 100,000-year Evil Eye Tyrant soul ring, his spiritual power had also undergone a metamorphosis, reaching the stage of being substantial yet intangible. Thanks to Kong Deming's timely protection, he was not seriously harmed.

In truth, even if his spiritual power hadn't broken through, he wouldn't have died—at most, he would have lost consciousness and needed to rest for a while. After all, Xuan Ziwen's spiritual power had already reached its peak just before becoming materialized, but because there was no stimulus or opportunity, he had not broken through.

Moreover, due to his soul's fusion with his martial soul and frequent research into soul tools, he had grown accustomed to bouts of unconsciousness.

At present, his pale complexion was already a relatively minor issue.

"You humans are courting death!"

The Evil Emperor sensed the death of one of his kin, the energy lingering on Xuan Ziwen's body. The bright red soul ring around Xuan Ziwen was one of his kin's soul rings!

Additionally, on Kong Deming's body, he sensed the presence of two more of his kind.

"Evil Emperor, are you truly prepared to risk everything against me?"

Kong Deming sneered coldly, releasing his spiritual energy. Illusory images of the sun and moon appeared behind him, subtly blending together in an almost seamless unity.

At the same time, light burst forth from every part of his body.

The Super Battle Armor instantly completed its fusion, and the Battle Armor's domain expanded, with the sun and moon images behind him seeming to merge with the Battle Armor's field.

The Battle Armor's domain was one of the sun and moon's unified radiance.

This was a domain Kong Deming had specially developed to assist his martial soul fusion technique.

It made his already harmonious martial soul fusion even more potent, amplifying his power significantly.

The domain of sun and moon further enhanced the abilities of his Soul of the Cherished Tulip.

With the fusion of the Super Battle Armor, the Battle Armor domain blending with his martial soul fusion skill, and his spiritual domain, Kong Deming had reached his peak state.

Aside from his soul tools, he had displayed all of his capabilities.

The Evil Emperor sensed a life-threatening danger.

"Hmm?"

The Evil Emperor now noticed Su Yu's presence.

"Hmph!"

Kong Deming noticed the fluctuation of the Evil Emperor's spiritual power, his face changing slightly.

However, he didn't immediately act to shield Su Yu from the attack coming from afar.

The Evil Emperor could never allow Su Yu to break through using the spiritual shock he had caused. Just as Su Yu was on the verge of a qualitative change, the Evil Emperor exploded with power.

Kong Deming also unleashed his spiritual energy, countering nearly half of the Evil Emperor's eruption. Sensing the now even more condensed and powerful spiritual force, Kong Deming nodded in satisfaction.

The Evil Emperor was indeed once again consumed by rage.

"Human, you are courting death!"

A massive, abyss-like eye erupted, unleashing a terrifying spiritual storm.

Kong Deming's expression shifted slightly.

"Evil Emperor, are you truly prepared to risk it all?"

"The fish may die, but the net may not break!"

"Hmm?" Kong Deming was taken aback by the Evil Emperor's boastful words. The sun and moon images behind him instantly merged, and thirty-six long rods appeared, circling around him. The Super Battle Armor's Heart Mirror glowed with the light of the sun and moon.

Kong Deming integrated the Sun and Moon Divine Light Shield into his Super Battle Armor.

While he had not yet successfully created a level-10 Sun and Moon Divine Light Shield, he had finished crafting a level-9 version. Combined with the Sun and Moon's unified domain and his martial soul fusion technique, the resulting power was absolutely terrifying.

The Evil Emperor's spiritual fluctuations contracted, and his cold, indifferent voice rang out, warning Kong Deming.

"Within a century, if another human enters the Evil Forest, I will kill them! If another of my kin dies, I will personally visit your human capital."

"The Evil Emperor's words hold no objection," Kong Deming replied, sighing in relief. After speaking, he quickly took Xuan Ziwen and left the Evil Forest.

Deep within the Evil Forest, a massive black eye floated, intently focused on the direction in which Kong Deming had departed. Surrounding the eye were eighty-one terrifying tentacles, each over five hundred meters long. Spiritual energy surged from the depths of the eye, constantly releasing waves of power.

"Has human power grown to this level?"

From Kong Deming's body, the Evil Emperor had sensed a fatal threat, one that had only ever been felt during his battle with Di Tian.

"Do not venture out alone for the next thousand years." A recently-ascended 100,000-year Evil Eye Tyrant heard the Evil Emperor's warning. Its tentacles waved, seemingly expressing dissatisfaction but also signaling its compliance with the command.

The Evil Emperor could lead the Evil Forest to a mutually destructive conflict with humanity.

However, the cost might be the extinction of the Evil Eye Clan, from power to annihilation.

This was something he could not accept.

Unlike the Star Dou Forest, where the Beast Tide was primarily made up of his kin, how could he not feel sorrow over the potential loss of his people?

In truth, the Evil Eye Clan's roots in Douluo Dalu were shallow. Once this branch was wiped out, it could very well mean the end of the Evil Eye Clan.

The Dragon Clan, on the other hand, was different.

Moreover, the most crucial point was that humanity had the Gods backing them, while the soul beasts did not.

Humanity had developed for over ten thousand years, yet the highest combat power in the human soul master world had stagnated, with little progress made. Whether it was the Evil Emperor or Di Tian, before Kong Deming's appearance, they were both confident that they could defeat or even kill humanity's strongest.

However, for the past ten thousand years, humans had continued to slaughter soul beasts on a massive scale. Despite this, neither Di Tian nor the Evil Emperor had truly retaliated.

Di Tian had launched a few Beast Tides, but they seemed more like warnings than real assaults.

Unlike human soul masters, who reach the limit of their cultivation at the rank of Limit Douluo and are left to question whether Gods truly exist, with no historical records of Tang San's ascension to divinity, they might even believe that Limit Douluo is the final stage.

Soul beasts, on the other hand, become increasingly convinced of the existence of Gods as their cultivation grows stronger. Unfortunately, soul beasts are in a tragic situation, imprisoned with chains that tightly bind all of them.

Su Yu closed his eyes and focused on sensing the changes in his spiritual power.

It was a unified feeling.

By extending his spiritual energy outward, he could envelop an entire space, creating a pseudo-domain. Aside from lacking any unique abilities, it was nearly identical to a real domain.

"Unexpectedly, this time you benefited from the misfortune. Your spiritual power has broken through," Kong Deming said, looking at his disciple with a mix of admiration and a hint of envy.

When Kong Deming reached this level of spiritual power, he had been stuck at level 94 for decades before finally breaking through.

The transition from intangible to tangible and from intangible to tangible may seem similar in the process of spiritual energy becoming more materialized within the Spirit Domain, but it is a difficult hurdle to cross without the right opportunity.

Human soul masters have done too little research on spiritual power.

Perhaps the advent of spiritual power detectors, Battle Armor, and the soul spirit system will drive progress in this field.

As spiritual power becomes a necessary component for soul master cultivation, research in this area will naturally accelerate.

"Master, this time I owe it to you for helping fend off part of the Evil Emperor's spiritual attack," Su Yu said, recalling his teacher's assistance.

He could still feel the support he received from his teacher at the time.

He turned to look at the Holy Soul Grass seed he had just revitalized nearby. Its vitality had dissipated, and its life force had dimmed.

It was already dying.

"Fate."
