Peerless Douluo: Blood of the Black King Nidhogg!

Chapter 175 Demon Emperor, Royal Navy of the Sun Moon Empire, Orange (4K)

Captain Jack was furious. Even if his men were terrified, they had no choice but to stand at attention and obey. The roar of the warship intensified once more, and it charged towards the Sunny Horizon like an arrow released from a bow.

On the deck, Mo Yuan draped his coat over Ye Guyi's shoulders, covering her curvaceous and alluring figure.

"Yuan, what do you say? Should we kill them?" Ye Guyi asked calmly. She had heard of the Hundred Beasts Pirates long ago, and she really wanted to get rid of these pirates who acted recklessly and killed innocent people.

"No need for now," Mo Yuan shook his head.

Ye Guyi had no doubts about this; she always obeyed Mo Yuan's decisions unconditionally.

Mo Yuan glanced at the southern horizon, then turned to look north, towards the mainland, a faint smile playing on his lips.

"This is getting more and more interesting..."

The Beasts Pirates were neither too far nor too close to the Sunrise. Given the size of those five warships, even at full speed, they would still be quite a distance away after a few minutes.

The closer they got to the Sunny Horizon, the more uneasy Jack felt, with a sense of foreboding. He calmed down from his earlier anger and realized the foolish thing he had just done.

But what's done is done, and it would be too embarrassing to order a turnback now. After thinking it over, Jack suddenly came up with a good idea. He turned to his subordinates who were in charge of the soul-guided cannons and gave them an order.

"Fire a few shots at that ship first, test the waters!"

"Yes! Captain!"

The subordinates were overjoyed upon receiving the order. Why didn't they do this sooner? Did they really have to risk their lives themselves?

After a flurry of activity, the Soul Cannon was fully charged and ready to fire, but just as Jack was about to give the order to fire, a 'whoosh' sound came from the right.

The next moment, the rightmost of the five warships exploded in flames and sank into the sea amidst billowing smoke and painful screams.

"What the hell are you guys doing?! Did someone point a cannon at our own people?!" Jack's anger surged again as he cursed and glared menacingly to his right.

The first thing he saw was his trembling subordinates and their fearful eyes, then the sinking warship. His gaze moved upward, sweeping over everything, and finally landed on the vast, boundless sea to the north.

At this moment, in addition to the sea and sky, more than a dozen ironclad warships, each fifty or sixty meters long, had appeared.

Compared to their pirate ships, those warships were not only larger, but also equipped with more and more advanced soul-guided cannons. If that were all, it would be fine.

What truly terrified Jack was the flag hanging above those warships—the flag that symbolized the royal family of the Sun Moon Empire!
While the Sun Moon Empire's military is primarily based on the Soul Master Corps, it has never lagged behind in the naval field, consistently developing warship technology and marine-type offensive Soul Guidance Devices.

It is divided into four military regions, which are under the full control of the Sun Moon Empire's royal family. This is the jurisdiction of the southwestern Royal Navy. The division commander is an eighth-level Soul Master, and there is a Soul Master regiment with a strength of six hundred people under his command.

"Damn it! The Royal Navy of the Sun Moon Empire! What the hell are they doing here today?!" Jack roared at his terrified subordinates without saying a word, pulling them back from their fear before immediately giving orders.

"Quick! All of you, stop standing around! Turn around and head back the way you came! Ship number two, on top! Open fire and return fire!"

"Captain, something's wrong! Three more warships are blocking the way from behind!!"

Hearing his men's terrified shouts, Jack's heart seemed to stop for a moment. He quickly pushed aside his men who were blocking his way and rushed to the stern. Sure enough, there were already three warships lined up there, pointing their fully charged soul-guided cannons at him.

"It's over...it's all over..."

Jack staggered back onto the deck, dejected. He knew that with their outrageous behavior, the Royal Navy of the Sun Moon Empire would come after them sooner or later.

But he didn't expect this day to come so soon, and he wasn't as calm as he had imagined.

On the lead warship in the distance, soldiers with serious faces strictly carried out all the orders given by their superiors on the deck and in the cabins, in an orderly and efficient manner.

The most central meeting room on the top deck of the warship.

"The encirclement is complete. The Beasts Pirates are doomed today. However... that small boat seems a bit strange, quite illogical. Should we fire to test it?"

Lin, the eighth-level Soul Master and leader of the Northwest Soul Master Corps, stood by the conference table and reported to the beautiful figure standing by the window not far away.

The woman was not dressed in military uniform like ordinary soldiers or officers, not even formal attire. She was simply wearing a well-tailored, exquisitely fitted orange-red long dress and a beach hat.

Her long, smooth black hair cascaded down her back, making her skin appear even whiter, brighter, and smoother. The bright sunlight shone on her face from the side, making her exquisite, flawless, and exceptionally beautiful face even more stunning.

Even though this woman looked frail, the powerful and influential Commander Lin dared not overstep his bounds in the slightest, and even showed a hint of awe towards her.

"No need, Commander Lin. Let's deal with the Beast Pirates as soon as possible and leave. I have a bad feeling that something unexpected is about to happen."

Orange's beautiful eyes were fixed on the empty Sunny Horizon, her eyebrows furrowed slightly. She also felt that something was wrong with the Sunny Horizon, and even the surrounding sea area was likely problematic.

But the vague sense of crisis in her heart forced her to stop thinking about these things.

A bad feeling? An unexpected event?
Commander Lin was somewhat puzzled, since even with his strength, he didn't have this feeling. However, considering Ju Zi's identity, he dared not be negligent. Better safe than sorry; if something went wrong, even ten of him wouldn't be enough to pay for it.

"Yes."

The specific orders were relayed flawlessly to the lowest-ranking soldiers, and with the instructions, the soul-guided cannons, which had already been fully charged, roared in unison.

Under the saturation of heavy firepower, no matter how much the Beasts Pirates resisted, they would only be blown apart and sunk into the sea to feed the fish.

Even if some pirates were sea spirit masters who could hide in the sea to escape, they were all wiped out by the underwater attack-type soul tools that had been prepared in advance.

Acrid black smoke rose into the sky like beacon fires, and the wrecked warship drifted aimlessly on the sea. When the flames and seawater dragged the dying Jack into hell, the Beasts Pirates were wiped out.

"Go back the way you came!"

Commander Lin's orders were relayed to the command rooms of every warship, but at that very moment, a nameless unease in Orange's heart reached its peak, and a sense of crisis pierced her skin like silver needles.

Finally, as the command began to be executed and the warship turned with a roar, an accident occurred...

"Woo-"

The ethereal, ancient cry unique to whales, sounding both mournful and mysterious, rang in everyone's ears without any warning.

The sound was exceptionally clear without any noise, as if a whale had called out right next to your ear.

Upon hearing the sound, Orange's eyes widened sharply. Her intuition was right! Something had truly happened! In her shock, she followed her intuition and quickly shifted her gaze, sweeping past the Sunny Miles towards the sea further south. The sea there was calm and peaceful, with gentle waves rippling in the sunlight—it was practically the perfect sea of ​​her dreams.

But while everyone was still searching for the source of the whale's cry, under Orange's watchful eye, the pale blue seawater was visibly turning black...

Wow…

The sound of the surging waves drew everyone's attention, and suddenly, white waves tens of meters high rose up in the distant southern sea.
After the waves subsided, to everyone's astonishment, a dark blue-green landmass emerged from the sea...

No! That's not land! It's a whale, a whale that's a whopping 700 meters long!

This giant whale was entirely blue-black, with a massive body, a large head, and a small tail. The layers of magical patterns resembled a series of ferocious faces.

—The ocean's overlord, the deep-sea demon whale!

With the appearance of the deep-sea demon whale, a strong sense of oppression enveloped the sea area within a radius of tens of kilometers, and even the sky turned gloomy, dyed blackish-purple by the terrifying energy fluctuations.

All the warships of the Sun Moon Empire's Royal Navy were frozen on the sea surface, as were the humans inside the cabins. Gazing at the suffocatingly large body of the Deep Sea Demon Whale, a sense of insignificance and powerlessness filled everyone's hearts.

"deep……"

Under such pressure, Ye Guyi couldn't help but tighten her grip on Mo Yuan's wrist. She had already witnessed the power of several Super Douluo, including the Dragon Emperor Douluo, and had even seen the God King Odin up close.

She wasn't afraid then, but now, standing before this deep-sea whale that was a full 700 meters long, she felt a sense of dread.

It's not that the Deep Sea Whale is more powerful than Mo Yuan in Odin's state; it's just that humans have a natural fear of giant marine creatures.

Mo Yuan gently patted Ye Guyi's delicate hand, his eyes showing no fear as he looked at the deep-sea demon whale approaching.

"If I'm not mistaken, this deep-sea demon whale should be the wife of the deep-sea demon whale king that Tang San killed back then, but I think there's a name that suits her better—Demon Emperor."

"..." Ye Guyi stared wide-eyed, speechless with astonishment. She was only shocked, but did not ask why such a terrifying soul beast as the Demon Emperor would come here.

After all, there are two pure-blooded dragons here, Mo Yuan and Apophis. She has witnessed the effects of dragon blood on soul beasts, and it is no exaggeration to describe it as a panacea. It is estimated that the Demon Emperor came here for this reason.

Apophis swam freely in the deep sea, showing no interest in the Demon Emperor's arrival. If the Demon Emperor left, she could pretend nothing had happened. But if she dared to attack Mo Yuan, the Demon Emperor would only be met with the wrath and roar of a peak-level next-generation species.

Orange gripped the porthole tightly, cold sweat trickling down her forehead. Under the Demon Emperor's oppressive aura, her delicate body trembled slightly.

"Damn it..." Commander Lin cursed under his breath, but dared not make any rash moves. He could only order all warships to cease all operations and not to open fire without authorization, lest the situation escalate to an irreversible point.

In this deep sea area, let alone the Demon Emperor, even a ferocious sea spirit beast would only be fish food if there were no reinforcements.

The Demon Emperor stared at the motionless warship on the sea with his small eyes wide open, his fierce intent evident in them.

She was operating in the sea area nearly a thousand kilometers away when she suddenly felt an extremely special throbbing in the depths of her soul. The throbbing was very simple and conveyed only one meaning to her.

—In this sea area exist creatures that allow her to achieve unimaginable leaps in life.

This is incredible, considering that her cultivation level is now close to 800,000 years.

What kind of being could enable an 800,000-year-old ferocious beast to undergo a life leap? She didn't know, so she came.

However, when she actually arrived, although the throbbing grew stronger and stronger, she could not find the true source with her tangible and tangible peak spiritual power.

The Demon Queen was getting impatient. Coincidentally, there were people here, and even more coincidentally, she hated humans to the core!
After her husband, the Deep Sea Demon Whale King, was killed by Tang San, she had already formed a deep-seated hatred for humans. If that were all, it wouldn't have come to the point where she kills everyone she sees.

What she didn't expect was that after Tang San left the mainland, he would loudly proclaim that the Deep Sea Demon Whale King was an evil soul beast that had committed many evil deeds, and that it was a perfectly justifiable and great thing for him to kill the Deep Sea Demon Whale King.

This shameless behavior directly caused her last shred of rationality to be consumed by rage. She didn't know what the human world was like, but in the world of soul beasts, the law of the jungle and survival of the fittest was the only rule!
Using the laws of the human world to define, judge, and adjudicate soul beasts is simply the most shameless thing to do.

If they become evil sea spirit beasts simply by hunting spirit beasts to survive, then what about the so-called Sea God's mount, the Demon Soul Great White Shark clan?
Haven't they slaughtered other sea spirit beasts? Haven't they killed humans?!
"Humanity!"

The Demon Queen's voice, filled with icy killing intent, echoed between heaven and earth. She raised her head, and the dark purple sky began to rumble like thunder. Purple-gold light flashed across her massive soul beast body.

As the light faded, the massive, 700-meter-long deep-sea whale vanished, replaced by a stunningly beautiful woman standing in the void, who appeared to be around thirty years old.

Upon hearing the Demon Emperor's voice, Commander Lin's heart sank completely. He knew that the Demon Emperor harbored murderous intent towards them, so there was no point in hoping for a miracle. All they could do was fight to the death!
Even if everyone dies, at the very least, Orange must be brought back to the Empire safely!
"All warships, open fire! Cover the escape of warship number one!"

The order was given, and after a few breaths of hesitation, a continuous barrage of artillery fire resounded across the entire sea, with cannon fire, lasers, and rays all heading towards the Demon Emperor.

Yet this immense firepower, enough to destroy a pirate crew in an instant, didn't even touch the Demon Emperor's clothes before being completely swallowed up by the raging soul power storm, without even causing a ripple.

"Dirty humans, die!"

A sinister smile appeared on the Demon Emperor's beautiful but unusually cold face. With a wave of his hand, he stirred up tsunamis tens of meters high, which came from all directions and completely surrounded the sea area.

No warship that tries to leave has any chance of survival under the immense power of the natural disaster; even steel warships will be smashed to pieces the moment they make contact.

The artillery fire continued, but everyone was gripped by despair. Orange gazed out the window at the towering waves, her eyes no longer filled with fear, but with a complex emotion that defied description.

She suddenly let out a long sigh, a relieved smile appearing on her face. "Perhaps being buried in this beautiful sea isn't so bad?"

As the tsunami approached, the three warships on the east side were already smashed to pieces. At this moment, everyone deeply realized a truth: in the face of natural disasters, humanity is always so weak and insignificant.

The Sunshine Thousand Miles was deep in this sea area and was naturally threatened by the tsunami, but neither Mo Yuan nor Ye Guyi showed any panic.

Just as the southern tsunami reached within a hundred meters of the Sunny Horizon, another unexpected event occurred. After a muffled roar, the world seemed to be paused, and the unstoppable waves were strangely frozen in mid-air.

The Demon Emperor suddenly lowered her head and looked down at the sea. Her beautiful eyes widened in astonishment. Orange and all the soldiers also looked towards the sea.

The ocean was boiling, the sky was roaring, a pair of grotesque black wings with bony spikes tore through the sea like blades, dragon horns ripped through the void, and every jet-black scale gleamed with a chilling light.

Under the terrified and shocked gazes of everyone, Apophis flapped its wings and soared into the sky with its enormous body nearly a thousand meters long, casting a shadow of death over the sea.

He looked down at the Demon Emperor below, his golden eyes, like molten iron, burning with a fury that wanted to incinerate everything in the world.
