Douluo: The Unrivaled Demon Lord

Chapter 142 Instant Kill, the 80,000-Year-Old Demon Soul Great White Shark Skull and a Skull from Ten Thousand Years Ago
Fifty kilometers was not far for the two of them, and in no time, Shu Yan and his companion arrived in the territory of the Thunder Prison Ray.

"That thing is about three thousand meters below the sea. I don't really recommend you fight it in the deep sea, because the environment there is naturally disadvantageous to you. Oh, right, I forgot to mention, be careful of the venom in its stinger. That venom targets internal organs. You might be fine if you get stung, but if your girlfriend gets stung, you'll have to go through a lot more trouble..."

Xie Ji then lazily reminded him, while also instructing Shu Yan to leave the soul of Lei Yu Mingyao to her.

She was the only one living in Shu Yan's spiritual sea who did not oppose Shu Yan's indiscriminate killing of soul beasts. In Xie Ji's eyes, there was no concept of race. All things in the world were just food in her eyes, and the only difference between them was whether they tasted good or bad.

Seeing that Shu Yan ignored her for a long time, Xie Ji pouted in annoyance.

But suddenly, as if she had just thought of something interesting, a cryptic smile appeared on her lips.

Tianmeng, who was enjoying a pleasant leisure time, suddenly felt a chill down its spine. It turned around abruptly and saw Xie Ji looking down at it with the same gaze it would give a delicious meal…

"No, Grandma, we're friends, you can't possibly eat me too, can you?"

Seeing Tianmeng trembling, Xie Ji was speechless.

"Get up. You yourself said that we are friends now. I don't really accept friendship. I only came to you to ask you for a favor."

Upon hearing Xie Ji's voice, Tian Meng finally breathed a heavy sigh of relief, then said in an annoyed tone:
"Can't you make a normal expression? Don't you know, your expression just now gave me psychological trauma, it was so scary..."

Xie Ji ignored Tianmeng's complaints and continued speaking to herself:

"After that, do this first, then that, and finally this... yeah, just like you think of it, understand?"

Tianmeng's small eyes gradually narrowed. Finally, it swallowed and said with a hint of confusion:

What are you planning to do?

"What?"

The Evil Princess smiled again, then spoke clearly:
"Dry!"

……

Just as Xie Ji was forcing Tian Meng to conduct a secret experiment, Shu Yan had already dived into the deep sea, searching for the Thunder Prison Ray.

But before he could find out where the other party was hiding, the other party took the initiative to attack Shu Yan, who had invaded its territory.

A bolt of dark purple lightning suddenly shot out from the pitch-black seabed. Shu Yan dodged it to the side and looked down again. This time, he finally found the Thunder Prison Ray in the dark and deep sea.

The wisps of dark purple lightning were very conspicuous in this environment. The sediment deposited on the seabed was stirred up by the giant fish, which was over thirty meters long, and in an instant, the already dark surroundings became even more chaotic.

"That guy's skin is special; it seems to be able to shield and reflect some of the mental energy detection."

Hyotei's voice resounded from the Sea of ​​Spirit.

Shu Yan also realized this. This was the deep sea, and the terrifying water pressure and harsh environment would affect his combat power to a certain extent. Fighting the Thunder Prison Ray here would not be a wise decision.

With a flash of silver light, a silver thread as thin as a raindrop shot out swiftly from Shu Yan's hand. Wherever the silver thread passed, the seawater rapidly evaporated, creating a vacuum zone. Moments later, as Shu Yan fully activated his spatial power, everything within a radius of several hundred meters, including the seawater, vanished into thin air.

At the same time, Han Ruoruo, who was anxiously waiting in mid-air, suddenly looked up in surprise.

A huge shadow fell over her, and the seawater reflected her face as clearly as a mirror. Above, another ocean appeared out of nowhere.

But before she could think any further, countless bolts of dark purple lightning, as thick as bowls, erupted from the ocean, evaporating countless parts of the sea and replacing them with a colossal ocean beast, utterly enraged under the sunlight.

Shu Yan watched as the Thunder Prison Ray struggled and clashed violently within the spatial cage, then unhesitatingly activated his fifth soul skill.

The dimensional blade swept across the heavens and earth. In an instant, countless drops of blood rained down. The Thunder Prison Ray's long tail was severed from its body. A sharp wail pierced the sky. Han Ruoruo covered her ears and staggered back for a while, feeling a sharp pain in her brain.

After dealing with the troublesome tail spike, Shu Yan's sixth soul ring, engraved with five golden patterns, slowly rose up. A seemingly ordinary dark green halo quickly condensed into a perfect circle in mid-air, and the creature that had been struggling violently in the spatial cage became eerily quiet after being illuminated by this dark green halo.

However, upon closer inspection, one would notice that the body of this 100,000-year-old sea beast king was trembling slightly, and the emotions emanating from its enormous eyes were no longer astonishment and anger, but rather deep despair and fear.

At the same time, Xie Ji also noticed that the power of her own soul ring had been activated. She smiled slightly, but said nothing.

As a ferocious beast with both evil and spiritual attributes, Xie Ji's most formidable strengths, besides her terrifying Spider King Toxin, lie in her series of extremely ruthless spiritual soul skills.

The soul skill that Shu Yan is currently using is called Death Kingdom. It was developed based on the resentment of countless humans and soul beasts she has devoured over the past ten thousand years. This soul skill is undoubtedly aimed at the spiritual realm.

The most direct and fundamental way to completely dismantle a person is to work from within.

The vengeful spirits within the Kingdom of Death were completely controlled and restrained by the Evil Princess. Before their deaths, they harbored extreme resentment and unwillingness towards the war and the world. Furthermore, after death, they were enslaved and controlled by the Evil Princess, preventing them from being reincarnated and freed. The endless suffering and torment made their power increasingly terrifying, and they even almost turned against the Evil Princess at one point. Fortunately, her spiritual power was infinitely close to the level of a demigod, which prevented her from being devoured by these guys.

When Shu Yan fought Xuan Zi, he did not use the two soul skills he obtained from Xie Ji. Judging from the mess behind Xuan Zi, his mental strength was undoubtedly not very solid. If Shu Yan used such a soul skill that directly hit the most terrifying and unwanted area of ​​a person's soul, Xuan Zi would be defeated almost instantly.

Xuanzi was ultimately unable to completely extinguish his conscience like a true evil soul master, which resulted in numerous flaws in his mental state. Even at his peak, if Xuanzi were drawn into the Kingdom of Death, Shu Yan was 100% confident in killing him; that was his confidence.

And now, this Thunder Prison Ray is indeed a ready-made test subject.

Sea spirit beasts generally have stronger spiritual power than land spirit beasts, but although the 100,000-year-old Thunder Prison Nether Ray is powerful, its spiritual power is far from strong enough to escape the Kingdom of Death.

In just a moment, its soul was torn to pieces and devoured by the "pets" raised by Xie Ji. Shu Yan also took the opportunity to release the spatial cage, letting its huge body crash down and then float on the sea. Han Ruoruo was full of astonishment, but after being urged by Shu Yan, she didn't have time to ask any more questions. She directly controlled the Golden Rope to completely kill the Thunder Prison Nether Ray, and then prepared to start absorbing the soul ring.

Shu Yan switched to the Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion Martial Soul, and then struck down with his palm. The sea surface within a hundred meters radius was instantly frozen into a solid ice surface. He landed slowly, but only for a moment before he noticed a little guy who was about to sneak away after watching the show.

With its silvery-white dorsal fin gliding across the water and its streamlined body appearing and disappearing beneath the azure sea, this sea spirit beast was at least eighteen meters long, yet its overall shape possessed a remarkable linear beauty, making it far more attractive than the Thunder Prison Nether Ray.

"The Demon Soul Great White Shark, with 80,000 years of cultivation..."

Shu Yan murmured softly. He had some knowledge of marine spirit beasts, especially since the Demon Soul Great White Shark clan ranked among the top five of all marine spirit beast races. They were true marine predators and among the most aggressive and even wild of the shark-type spirit beasts. While the Demon Soul Great White Shark might be weaker in individual combat than the Deep Sea Demon Whale or even the Evil Demon Orca, it was the fastest of the three types. A Demon Soul Great White Shark of the same age was two to three times faster than both the Evil Demon Orca and the Deep Sea Demon Whale. Therefore, a saying circulated among sea spirit masters:

"If you encounter a great white shark on the high seas, you'd better pray that its belly is already full, otherwise you will have no chance of survival."

However, it is worth mentioning that, due to its constant battles with other soul beasts and its presence in dangerous waters, the flesh of the Demon Soul Great White Shark is among the most delicious of all sea soul beasts.

After thinking for a moment, Shu Yan made his move and appeared in front of the 80,000-year-old demon soul great white shark in an instant. He then punched down, and the demon soul great white shark saw stars on the spot and then turned its white belly up.

"Tsk, that's really ruthless."

Tianmeng witnessed this scene and then expressed her heartfelt emotion.

The 80,000-year-old Demon Soul Great White Shark could absolutely crush a landlubber titled Douluo like the Mighty Douluo Cheng Gang on the high seas, but in front of Shu Yan, this guy was indeed just an unlucky fellow. Who told it to dare to spy in the dark? Now it's about to become roast meat. It should be happy, right?
Just as Shu Yan was about to put the entire behemoth into his storage soul tool, a slightly unusual aura caught his attention.

Somewhat unexpectedly, he pried open the giant creature's head and actually extracted a silver-gray head bone from it.

The head soul bone produced by the 80,000-year-old demon soul great white shark is undoubtedly a top-grade soul bone. Shu Yan did not expect that the barbecue ingredient he casually killed would come with such a surprise. He put the soul bone into the jade box and kept it carefully, planning to distribute it to everyone later depending on the situation.

After accepting this unexpected surprise, the Evil Princess, who had devoured the soul of the Demon Soul Great White Shark, also made a surprising discovery.

"Shu Yan, I've made a discovery that I think you'll be interested in."

Xie Ji took the initiative to call out to Shu Yan.

Shu Yan paused slightly, then replied:

"What discovery did you make? Tell me about it."

The Evil Consort smiled alluringly, her laughter melodious and pleasant, yet inexplicably giving off a sense of danger.

“You need to offer something in exchange for me. I can tell you very clearly that this information is worth this price.”

"exchange?"

Shu Yan chuckled, thinking that Xie Ji must have needed some discipline lately, since she dared to bargain with him.

"If you don't want to go to the dark room, hurry up and say so, or I'll lock you up for another ten days or so and see if you behave."

Faced with Shu Yan's "threat", Xie Ji gritted her teeth in anger, but she still refused to back down.

"I don't want anything else, just a wisp of your primordial energy is enough for me, please, Shu Yan, I beg you~"

In the end, Xie Ji surprisingly started to act coquettishly.

Shu Yan was also a little taken aback, and he said somewhat inexplicably:

"Are you up to something again? Why would you want my primordial energy for no reason?"

"Oh, they won't hurt you, just give it to them, they'll give you a surprise later..."

"I'll continue to act coquettishly," Xie Ji continued.

"Alright, alright, here you go. Just don't do anything reckless, or you'll be in the dark."

Shu Yan couldn't resist and finally reluctantly agreed to Xie Ji's request.

Evil beauties like Xie Ji are undoubtedly rare. Her beauty is somewhat sinister, the kind that becomes addictive at first glance.

If Xue Di is the authoritative figure among aloof and cold beauties, then Xie Ji is undoubtedly the most outstanding beauty among the evil faction.

In particular, Xie Ji's height is exceptionally tall among all the beauties. Her height is over two meters, which makes her figure more full and perfect than ordinary people can imagine. Even Xue Di, a creature born of nature, is slightly inferior to Xie Ji in terms of figure.

It's a perfect big car, who wouldn't love it?

At least Shu Yan still quite liked Xie Ji, especially since her presence brought him more joy and laughter.

As long as Xie Ji doesn't betray him, Shu Yan is too lazy to care about her occasional little tricks.

After all, apart from Shu Yan, the largest spiritual sea belongs to Xue Di. If Xie Ji dares to have any disloyal thoughts, Xue Di will definitely not sit idly by.

Seeing that Shu Yan had agreed, Xie Ji couldn't help but beam with joy. She smiled mysteriously and then said:

"I saw an island in the memories of this demonic great white shark. That island... is called Poseidon Island."

"Well, are you interested?"

Shu Yan frowned slightly upon hearing this, then continued to ask:
"Poseidon Island? Can you pinpoint the location of that island?"

The Evil Princess nodded, then said:
"Five hundred miles east of this, judging from the memories of this Demon Soul Great White Shark, there is a very large group of Demon Soul Great White Sharks around that island, and the leader of the group has at least two hundred thousand years of cultivation."

Shu Yan frowned even more deeply. The only island protected by the Great White Shark Swarm throughout history was the Sea God Island from ten thousand years ago. This Sea God Island wasn't the one at Shrek Academy, but rather the place where the previous Sea God's legacy was passed down, the true Sea God Island protected by the Seven Sacred Pillars.

However… the specific location of Poseidon Island should be in the northwestern sea area of ​​the former Heaven Dou Empire. With the collision and fusion of the two continents, the original ocean has long since become land. According to common sense, Poseidon Island should have disappeared into the long river of history long ago. How could it cross more than half a continent and appear in the northeastern sea area of ​​the Douling Empire…

Regardless, Xie Ji's words did pique his interest, and after Han Ruoruo finished fusing her ninth spirit ring, he decided to go and investigate...
