"I'd better take a look," said the old man.

In the grand hall of the castle, a tall and imposing figure emerged from the shadows. He instantly transformed into a black streak, racing toward the distant horizon.

Ye Xishui watched the man leave, her face betraying a hint of hesitation. Ultimately, though, she chose not to say anything, silently allowing him to act as he wished.

Meanwhile, at the outskirts of the Evil Eye Forest, Ji Juechen had just absorbed the spirit ring of a 50,000-year-old Stromwind Double-Headed Wolf. He turned toward the direction of the frightening commotion coming from the forest's core, his pupils contracting in alarm.

"Could this be the work of those three?" he wondered.

Ji Juechen was deeply shaken. Earlier, he had seen Shui Wuya and the others head toward the forest's core, which had aroused his suspicions. However, he never imagined the extent of the chaos they could unleash. The terrifying mental energy emanating from the forest clearly indicated the presence of the Evil Eye Overlord.

The Sea of Mental Energy and the Blood Ice Domain clashed continuously for about four to five minutes, with the Blood Ice Domain gradually gaining the upper hand.

Eventually, an earth-shattering explosion shattered both forces, sending ripples of energy radiating outward in all directions. However, this didn't signal the end—in fact, the battle was just beginning!

"The Overlord's Wrath, Beast Soul Slash!"

Seeing that the Sea of Mental Energy couldn't overcome his opponent, the Evil Eye Overlord unleashed one of his most powerful attacks. A dazzling white halo emerged from his body, pulsating with a seven-colored glow. As time passed, the halo rapidly expanded in size.

"Hummmm!—"

In a matter of seconds, the brilliant white halo grew to a diameter of several hundred feet, resembling a crescent moon blade. It emitted an intense buzzing sound, releasing countless mental energy slashes.

Shui Yuanchen didn't hesitate. Having gained the upper hand in their earlier clash, he now faced a barrage of slashes. Immediately, his five black and four red spirit rings appeared, rising from the ground. At the same time, his nine spirit entities materialized!

"Five black, four red?"

Shui Wuya, watching from a distance, was intrigued by Shui Yuanchen's spirit rings. Raising all rings to the ten-thousand-year level was no easy feat, even with the ability to nurture spirit rings.

"It seems my uncle invested quite a bit of effort in this," Shui Wuyai thought to himself.

With his nine spirit entities appearing, Shui Yuanchen unleashed his Martial Spirit: a fierce Ice Phoenix, exuding intense killing intent. Unlike Shui Wuya's blue Ice Phoenix, Shui Yuanchen's was a vivid blood-red, as if dyed with fresh blood.

In the blink of an eye, the mental energy slashes from the Evil Eye Overlord entered the Blood Ice Domain. As they closed in, just ten feet from Shui Yuanchen, the nine spirit entities simultaneously launched a barrage of blood-red beams, intercepting the incoming slashes on the spot.

Shui Yuanchen took another step forward, instantly crossing the space to appear above the Evil Eye Overlord's head. At the same time, his sixth spirit ring, a hundred-thousand-year-old one, began to glow with a bright red light.

With a swift motion, he waved his hand, and nine crimson blood dragons materialized, lunging straight at the Evil Eye Overlord!

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

A series of intense explosions followed. The Evil Eye Overlord was caught off guard, and Shui Yuanchen's blood dragons shattered the white halo surrounding him, inflicting severe damage on his physical form.

"Ugh!"

A burst of vital blood sprayed from the Evil Eye Overlord's eye, his immense energy rapidly waning. However, the pervasive mental power in the area didn't weaken—instead, it grew more frenzied and unstable.

At the same time, in the Star Dou Forest, thousands of miles away, a deep gaze was directed toward the Evil Eye Forest. It sensed a familiar aura of extreme cold.

Di Tian's eyes were grave as he observed. He was unperturbed by the Evil Eye Overlord's mental power, but the other force, filled with overwhelming killing intent and extreme cold, caught his attention.

Over the Sea God Pavilion at Shrek Academy, two elders floated in the air, both gazing toward the direction of the Evil Eye Forest.

"Elder Mu, that's the aura of the Evil Eye Overlord. He's fighting someone," said Xuanzi, holding a drumstick in one hand and a jug of wine in the other. He wore a simple light-blue robe and looked at the forest with curiosity.

"Let's go see what's happening," replied Elder Mu, his old face showing a hint of doubt.

"Right away," Xuanzi said. He put down his drumstick, nodded to Elder Mu, and then sped off toward the Sun Moon Empire.

Meanwhile, in the blood-soaked and crime-ridden Prison of Slaughter, countless prisoners who had been suppressed sensed the immense battle happening far away. They became increasingly violent.

"Let me out of here!"

"Damn those Shui clan members! I want out!"

"Haha! Shui Yuanchen is in trouble!"

As the uproar grew, all the prisoners who were still alive began to struggle, pulling out the steel needles that sealed their soul power. Cries of pain and rage echoed throughout the prison.

Especially among the prisoners from the sixth level upward, as they struggled to remove the steel needles sealing their soul power, they released bursts of intense soul energy. In the eighth level, nine figures who had been perpetually keeping their eyes closed suddenly opened them, their pupils filled with murderous intent.

"Here comes our chance."

Tang Qinglin, the former head of the Tang Clan and a Level 99 Limit Douluo dressed in a black robe, spoke calmly.

"Ha! After being stuck in this damn Prison of Slaughter for so many years, I'm finally about to get out!"

An evil soul master with Level 99 Limit Douluo power let out a chilling and sinister laugh as his shackles clanged and shattered.

"Evil Eye Forest? You chose to take on that beast? Shui Yuancheng, you're bold! No matter, it's time for me to leave as well!"

Water Songshan, another Level 99 Limit Douluo, was next to open his eyes. As his chains broke and the steel needles were expelled from his body, his long-sealed soul power surged like a tidal wave. Shui Songshan slowly stood up, his icy expression twisting into a sinister smile.

As a shimmering ripple of blue soul energy emanated from him, the incomparable aura of a Limit Douluo filled the entire Prison of Slaughter.
