In the heart of the Star Dou Forest, Emperor Tian appeared utterly disheveled within Shui Yuanchen's Blood Realm. The current situation left him feeling unprecedentedly powerless and confused.
"It's impossible! You're not a god! How could you possess divine power?"
Emperor Tian's voice trembled, revealing deep apprehension.
Even if he had undergone divine trials, he could not wield true divine power.
Could it be that this old man has already fused with a divine position and become a deity!?
Shui Yuanchen sneered, his eyes shimmering with a mysterious light.
"I haven't become a god; I've merely created a divine position for myself."
"Created a divine position!?"
Emperor Tian was even more astonished, his face reflecting profound disbelief.
His voice was filled with incredulity. "Nonsense! How could you possibly create a divine position?"
Shui Yuanchen coldly nodded. "The rules of the divine realm are merely constraints, and my Shui family refuses to be bound by them. Thus, we created our own divine position."
Emperor Tian's heart jolted, and despair flashed in his eyes.
He had once battled in the divine realm and had a deep understanding of the gods' power, knowing that he was no match for Shui Yuanchen now.
As a demigod, he simply could not contend with Shui Yuanchen's divine power!
Emperor Tian's mind raced, aware that the situation was extremely dangerous, but he had no intention of surrendering.
His gaze shifted to Shui Wuya, the esteemed clan leader of the Shui family.
Capture the leader first!
This was his only chance to escape the peril.
If he could subdue Shui Wuya, he might be able to turn the situation around and seize a slim chance of survival.
However, Emperor Tian knew that dealing with Shui Wuya would not be easy.
As the Shui clan leader, Shui Wuya's strength was formidable, and he was surrounded by many powerful elders and soul masters.
Even so, Emperor Tian was determined not to give up. He was willing to risk everything, even if it meant seizing just one chance to turn the tide.
"Hehe, you're dreaming!"
Shui Yuanchen, however, saw through his intentions immediately.
He then activated the Blood Realm once more.
The sea of blood surged!
Emperor Tian fell back into a desperate struggle!
Surrounded by the blood sea, he felt immense pressure and erosion, nearly unable to breathe.
Anger and frustration intertwined in his mind, making it difficult for him to stay calm.
"You Shui family, do you have to fight to the death with me? Can't you leave me a way out?"
Emperor Tian roared, his voice filled with rage and helplessness.
Shui Yuanchen merely smiled coldly, unfazed by his anger.
"Your only way out is to become the soul spirit of my clan leader!"
His voice was as cold as ice, sending a shiver down Emperor Tian's spine.
Hearing this, Emperor Tian's fury intensified, feeling it was a profound humiliation.
"I, the Golden-Eyed Black Dragon King, will never become a servant! I'd rather die than become your clan leader's soul spirit!"
He responded through gritted teeth.
Shui Yuanchen snorted dismissively. "Then there's nothing more to discuss. Watch me forcibly subdue you and use you as a soul ring for my clan leader."
"You're going too far!"
Emperor Tian bellowed.
He knew there was no retreat; he could only fight the Shui family to the bitter end!
"Destroy the Shui family completely, leave not a single one alive!"
With that, he gave the command, and his forces in the Star Dou Forest immediately launched their attack!
The battle was about to begin.
On the battlefield, the fierce combat erupted between the Star Dou Forest's powerful beings, such as Xiong Jun and the King of Ten Thousand Demons, and the Shui family's elders.
Shui Xingtian, the Shui family's Grand Elder and now a level 99 powerhouse, faced the raging Xiong Jun.
Using his soul power, he sent Xiong Jun flying with a single palm strike, showcasing his incredible strength.
"A mere bear dares to be arrogant!" He stood with his hands behind his back, hovering in mid-air.
Xiong Jun, struggling to his feet, was burning with rage, his eyes flashing with ferocity.
"You old fool, how dare you underestimate me!"
Xiong Jun, furious, fiercely swung his claws, attacking Shui Xingtian with relentless aggression.
Shui Xingtian, however, wore a faint smile as he effortlessly blocked Xiong Jun's attacks with his palm, as if playing with a mere insect.
He said lightly: "Young man, you should know your own strength and not overestimate yourself."
Seeing Xiong Jun being handled so easily by Shui Xingtian, Bi Ji's face turned ashen with worry.
She was extremely anxious but felt powerless, hoping desperately that Emperor Tian would arrive in time to help.
"Lord Emperor Tian, please, hurry up and make your move!" Bi Ji silently pleaded, her eyes anxiously scanning the blood-red sky.
However, the sky was obscured by a crimson haze, making it impossible to see the situation clearly.
This only heightened Bi Ji's unease, as she worried whether Emperor Tian was also in trouble.
On the battlefield, Shui Wuya stood aside, leisurely observing the fight, but his attention was mainly focused on the seal below.
He remained vigilant, understanding the importance of the seal and knowing he must be constantly on guard.
Meanwhile, in his spiritual world, the Dream Ice Silkworm commented in shock, "It's unexpected that these Star Dou Forest soul beasts are no match for the elders under our master's command. It's fortunate we surrendered early."
"Are we about to get new companions?" Bajiao asked with excitement.
Ice Empress shook her head. "Emperor Tian doesn't seem like the type to easily submit."
But as she said this, she glanced at the nearby Evil Emperor.
It wasn't necessarily the case.
After all, hadn't the Evil Emperor already submitted? Perhaps Emperor Tian might also yield under the master's charm.
Thus, the souls eagerly watched the battle.
Meanwhile, in the sky, Emperor Tian was trapped by the Blood Realm's power, struggling to resist.
He fell from the sky into the battlefield, severely injured.
"Lord Emperor Tian!"
The soul beasts were shocked beyond belief.
This was a sight they had never witnessed before, filling them with immense concern.
Emperor Tian, with his demigod strength, was considered invincible under the gods!
Yet he had been defeated just like that?
"Emperor Tian, how are you?"
Bi Ji rushed forward to tend to Emperor Tian, her worry evident.
The combatants paused, and the battlefield fell silent.
At that moment, Shui Wuya slowly stepped forward, gazing at the fallen Emperor Tian, and asked mildly, "That was just a moment to give you time to reflect. The time is up. Have you made your decision?"
"If you agree to become my soul spirit and swear allegiance, I promise you will become a god and will not be mistreated. Otherwise, you will become my soul ring."
Shui Wuya's voice was icy, leaving no room for negotiation.
"You…"
Upon hearing this, Emperor Tian wanted to curse, but he feared provoking Shui Wuya and putting Bi Ji and the other souls in danger.
"I am willing!"
Suddenly, Bi Ji stepped forward, positioning herself in front of Emperor Tian.
She faced Shui Wuya without hesitation and said, "Clan Leader Shui, I am willing to take Emperor Tian's place and become your soul spirit. Please spare Emperor Tian and the others."
However, her plea was met with Shui Wuya's disdain.
"You are not worthy."
Shui Wuya's words were like frost, sending a chill through Bi Ji's heart.
Hearing this, Emperor Tian's rage flared even more.
