Chapter 635 Backlash? Trash!
Just then, "Don't be impulsive."
Xuan Mo pulled Mu Lin away and dragged him aside.
"Boom!"
The red light landed on the ground and exploded instantly.
"Brother Mo, what is this..."
Just as Mu Lin was puzzled, Xuan Mo pointed ahead, "Look carefully."
Mu Lin looked in the direction Xuan Mo was pointing and finally saw the figure of the soul beast that had just launched the red light attack.
It was a very strange-looking soul beast. It floated in the air, looking somewhat like a balloon, but what was floating was not a balloon, but a huge eye. The eye was a full meter in diameter and was blood red.
Around this giant eye were clusters of brown spots, soft, and six tentacles hung down to the ground, trailing long.
But what could be seen was that the places it had dragged left corrosive grooves.
Among these six tentacles, three were green and three were red, clearly distinct.
"This is the Evil Eye. Judging from the aura it emits, this guy's cultivation level is definitely at the ten-thousand-year level."
"To be precise, it's the Fire Evil Tyrant."
Xuan Mo slowly released his hand from Mu Lin's grasp. "But look closely, it hasn't noticed us. Its target is over there."
Following Xuan Mo's finger, another soul beast came into view, and Xuan Mo knew its identity very well—it was the Devouring Dragon.
At this moment, after its previous attack failed, the Fire Evil Tyrant launched another attack, striking the Devouring Dragon squarely in the chest.
The Devouring Dragon let out a miserable spit, its massive body rolling on the ground. When it leaped up again, it had already turned around.
Its enormous head rose, and its gaping maw opened wide. It let out a deafening roar, displaying a desperate, all-out attack.
Seeing this, Xuan Mo's eyes narrowed.
"Mu Lin, let's go. The next move the Devouring Dragon is about to make might expose us. If a fight breaks out, it could attract the attention of the evil spirit masters in the Demon Forest."
"Alright!"
Mu Lin readily agreed to Xuan Mo's suggestion.
However, just as they were about to leave, "Roar!"
From the Devouring Dragon's gaping maw, a dark blue aura instantly formed, its core as black as ink.
This move was none other than the Devouring Heaven and Earth technique, which Xuan Mo was intimately familiar with. Within a hundred-meter radius, everything instantly became shrouded in darkness.
The terrifying devouring power obliterated all life within this area, absorbing their energy—insects and plants alike.
Xuan Mo and Mu Lin were inevitably swept up in this attack.
They felt a chilling aura surrounding them, followed by a strange force frantically draining their life force. However, they were completely powerless against the two's formidable cultivation and Xuan Mo's even stronger devouring power.
Nevertheless, their figures were inevitably revealed. The two soul beasts' gazes also shifted to them.
Then, they saw the Fire Demon Tyrant's single fiery red eye flash. Strange, distorted light patterns spread outwards, as if the brown markings around its head had become illusory.
At the same time as the Fire Demon Tyrant released its mental field, the Devouring Dragon also charged towards the two, its gaping maw spewing out black light with a dark blue halo towards Xuan Mo and Mu Lin.
Clearly, these two soul beasts intended to join forces.
"Seeking death!"
Seeing the two soul beasts' recklessness, the two's eyes turned cold. Moreover, how could the Fire Demon Tyrant's mere ten-thousand-year-old mental field control be effective against two titled beings?
Originally, they didn't want to alert the enemy, but now…
"Finish it quickly, keep it quiet."
Facing the Fire Demon Tyrant's mental force field control, Xuan Mo and the other two, relying on their powerful mental strength as Title Douluos, directly unleashed their power.
At the same time, Xuan Mo also stretched out his hand, unleashing a Devouring Power far purer than Devouring Force directly towards the Devouring Dragon.
The next second, the Fire Demon Tyrant's single eye seemed to glaze over, while the Devouring Dragon remained in its attacking state. However, the "devouring heaven and earth" it spewed out dissipated in the distorted air.
The Fire Demon Tyrant was the first to be hit; its single eye glazed over, losing its light…
"Pfft—"
The Fire Demon Tyrant suffered a backlash from the mental force of two Title Douluo-level beings, directly experiencing a backlash. Instantly, its brain shattered along with its soul in the face of the backlash. Its single eye exploded, spraying out red and white substances.
Moreover, at this moment, the Devouring Dragon's eyes, filled with killing intent and madness, turned silent. Then, they dimmed, and its body collapsed with a crash, its life force completely extinguished.
Two black spirit rings rose one after the other, shimmering with light.
An invisible force seemed to pull Xuan Mo towards them. However, Xuan Mo shook his head dismissively and waved his right hand, dispelling these two black ten-thousand-year spirit rings, coveted by most spirit masters.
He was indeed missing five spirit rings, and while the Devouring Dragon spirit ring was quite suitable for him, its age of only twenty or thirty thousand years was too low. He would leave one for the Evil Eye Tyrant Overlord, while the other four would need to be at least seventy thousand years old.
"Let's hurry and leave, lest they discover us."
With that, he left without even glancing back.
Nearly half an hour after Xuan Mo and the others left, several figures suddenly appeared, investigating the situation.
Their black robes revealed them to be evil spirit masters.
"One Evil Eye and one Devouring Dragon are dead."
Turning over their corpses, one of the evil spirit masters looked up at the leader, his eyes hesitant. "The Fire Evil Tyrant died from a backlash of its own spirit, and the Devouring Dragon… it seems… died from a backlash of its devouring power. So the cause of death for these two spirit beasts…"
"You mean they both died from their own backlash, is that it?"
The leader of the evil spirit masters spoke coldly, and the investigating evil spirit master nodded slightly, looking as if he himself didn't believe it.
"Yes."
"Useless!"
As soon as the words left his mouth, the leader of the evil spirit masters slammed a palm strike into the head of the investigating evil spirit master. Red and white blood mingled with the Fire Evil Tyrant's blood on the ground, and he died instantly.
"Both spirit beasts died from backlash? How is that possible!? Since we can't find out, what use is a piece of trash like you to my sect!?"
Immediately afterward, the leader of the evil spirit masters went to the location where the Fire Evil Tyrant's original body had exploded.
Then, a rhombus-shaped crystal appeared on the ground. This crystal was dark red with green patterns on its surface.
"This thing is actually somewhat useful. Perhaps we can try to see which intruders have managed to break into the Demon Forest."
