Douluo: The Unrivaled Demon Lord

Chapter 159 Reversal and Acquisition, Divine Inheritance and Reshaping Transformation, Heavenly Emperor's Dream!

With two evil soul masters making their move, and the Cursed Douluo having already eliminated a level nine soul master with his curse killing power, the remaining three cannot form a special formation again. Even if they do, it will leave a fatal flaw, making them as fragile as paper in front of the Cursed Douluo.

Nine spirit rings—yellow, purple, purple, black, black, black, black, black, and black-red—mixed with a dark, blood-red hue, stained the entire sky. A heavy aura of death pressed down as if it were a tangible substance. Just as Shu Yan had said, the aura emanating from this Curse Douluo was in no way inferior to that of the Azure Shadow Douluo, Elder Song.

What surprised the three even more was the woman who looked very young. Her spirit ring configuration seemed to be even better than that of the Curse Douluo. The reason was simple: her eighth spirit ring was black with a hint of red. Obviously, the spirit beast that provided her eighth spirit ring was just one step away from becoming a 100,000-year spirit beast.

This woman's martial soul did not have much of the regretful death and destruction aura that came from devouring living beings. Like Tang Ya, she was a plant-type soul master. Her martial soul should be a variant of the rose, possessing dark attributes that were tinged with evil and fire attributes that had mutated... However, her fire attribute was Yin Fire, which felt somewhat similar to Ma Xiaotao's Phoenix Evil Fire.

"She is not a pure evil soul master, otherwise, with the strength of her martial soul and her methods, that level nine soul master would not have lasted that long."

"It's snow," the Snow Empress said softly.

"Regardless of whether she is an evil soul master or not, prepare to make a move. Those two level nine soul masters are going to die."

Shu Yan said casually.

The Curse-Slaying Douluo's ninth soul skill was an extremely domineering mental soul skill. Two level-nine soul masters in poor condition had no chance to fight back against him. However, on the verge of death, one of the level-nine soul masters suddenly laughed wildly:

"How laughable, truly laughable! You went to great lengths to ambush and kill us, yet you didn't know that the Heart of Space is no longer in our hands... Hahaha, you've all come up empty-handed in the end... It's a pity I won't live to see the glory of the Empire unifying the continent, nor will I witness the tragic end of you evil soul masters, like rats crossing the street... But I have no regrets..."

As soon as he finished speaking, Ju-on Douluo clenched his fist, and the man's soul was extracted and then devoured by Ju-on Douluo's "Ju-on".

As the Cursed Douluo dealt with the two level-nine Soul Masters, the woman no longer held back. Her ninth Soul Ring emitted a dazzling red light, and a vast sea of ​​blue-purple roses bloomed in mid-air. The delicate fragrance of the flowers drifted towards the sky on the breeze. But the next moment, the vast sea of ​​flowers began to burn. The level-nine Soul Master glanced one last time at the setting sun in the sky before being burned to ashes...

The piece of soul bone left on his body was stored in her storage soul tool.

Ju-on Douluo noticed this scene, but remained unmoved, showing no concern whatsoever.

As the leader fell, the other Soul Masters were also killed one after another by the ruthless evil Soul Masters. However, after checking everyone's Soul Guidance Devices, Ju-on Douluo's expression became increasingly gloomy.

"No! No! Still no! Could it be that we've really been tricked?"

The hoarse roar of Ju-on Douluo resounded through the sky. Then he lowered his head, his back bent into a posture similar to that of Elder Mu, and his aura became gloomy.

"That's unlikely. We have people among them. You could say their every move is under our surveillance."

The woman finally spoke, her voice surprisingly pleasant, with a crisp, clear quality like a wind chime.

"What could be the situation? The Heart of Space isn't in their hands. Could it be that Jing Hongchen really has some unimaginable backup plan?"

Ju-on Douluo slightly raised his eyes, his expression sinister and vicious, as if he wished he could tear Jing Hongchen in his mouth to pieces.

Originally, the Supreme Leader had promised that as long as he successfully completed this mission and brought back the Heart of Space, she would help him break through to level 97 and grant him the status of Vice Leader and blood offerings. But now, all of this seems to have been destroyed. It would be strange if he didn't hate her.

The woman lowered her head and pondered for a while, then said:
"It's hard to say, but this is definitely not a place to stay for long. My identity is sensitive, so it's not appropriate for me to linger here. Let's return to the Empire first, report this matter to the leader, and then make a decision."

Ju-on Douluo glared hatefully in the direction of the Star Luo Kingdom's capital, but in the end, he could only nod slightly.

The two raised their hands to gather the scattered evil soul masters around them. Just as they were about to escape, a spider silk as thick as a silver thread suddenly appeared out of thin air. In an instant, the two evil soul masters, along with several soul saints around them, were pierced through. They didn't even have time to scream before they suddenly turned into dried corpses, and their souls were completely devoured.

The sudden turn of events plunged the evil spirit master camp into a state of panic and rage after a moment of stunned silence. The Curse-Ghost Douluo's sinister eyes quickly scanned the surroundings, and then he suddenly waved his hand, sending a huge evil spirit head flying forward. But the next moment, two spider silks flew over and instantly shredded the evil spirit head to pieces.

In the hazy light and shadow, Xie Ji wore a smile that could charm all living beings. She took a step forward, and the surrounding space rippled and shattered. She completely ignored the small fry around her and her gaze fell directly on Ju-on Douluo.

"Super Douluo... no, this aura is even stronger than the Sect Leader's!"

Ju-on Douluo took a step back in disbelief, but then the extremely dense evil aura emanating from Xie Ji calmed him down. He slightly raised his hand, gesturing for the woman to step back, and then spoke:

"Are you also a demonic soul master?"

Upon hearing this, Xie Ji raised an eyebrow, then chuckled softly:

"Do I look like someone from Shrek Academy?"

Upon hearing this, Ju-on Douluo's eyelids twitched, and then he said in a deep voice:

"Evil Soul Masters never make things difficult for other evil soul masters. I see that you are not a member of my Holy Sect. I wonder if you would be interested in joining my Holy Sect? With your strength, once you join, you will surely be second only to one person and above tens of thousands of people, enjoying unimaginable blood offerings and power."

Well, if you can't beat them, try to win them over. Ju-on Douluo was as clear-headed as a mirror. Just by looking at the aura emanating from Xie Ji, he could clearly judge the difference between the two. If it were a righteous soul master, he probably wouldn't be so calm. But, the other party is an evil soul master!

The Holy Spirit Cult is the supreme holy land of contemporary evil soul masters, and the "examination holy land" in the hearts of all evil soul masters. To obtain a "formal position" in the Holy Spirit Cult is the dream of every evil soul master. Once a powerful figure like Evil Princess joins the Holy Spirit Cult, her status will directly surpass that of the veteran retainer Curse Douluo, and she will be half a step below the supreme power.

Having failed to obtain the Heart of Space, Ju-on Douluo has devised a way to compensate: persuade Evil Princess to join the Holy Spirit Cult! While gaining the support of such a powerful figure might not be as significant as acquiring the Heart of Space, it would still be a tremendous contribution to the Holy Spirit Cult.

No evil spirit master can refuse to join the Holy Spirit Cult!

This was what Ju-on Douluo was thinking. Especially a powerful evil soul master like Xie Ji should understand the difference between fighting alone and having a professional team. He felt that as long as Xie Ji had a brain, she wouldn't refuse his suggestion.

Unfortunately, Xie Ji not only already had a "godhood" status with Shu Yan, but also felt her head was a bit damaged from being slapped by Shu Yan recently... She didn't listen to what Ju-on Douluo was saying at all.

"Finished? Then you can prepare to die..." Xie Ji lazily raised her eyes and glanced at Ju-on Douluo. Then she waved her hand slightly, and countless spider silks shot out at high speed, heading straight for Ju-on Douluo.

Ju-on Douluo's pupils contracted; this was completely different from what he had imagined!

In his mind, even if the Evil Princess didn't join the Holy Spirit Cult, she would at least give them face because of the cult's name...

But what's the situation now?
Could it be that the other party was unaware of the existence of their Holy Spirit Cult? But then he thought again, Xie Ji's expression just now clearly indicated that she was aware of it, therefore... Ju-on Douluo felt a wave of despair; the other party probably only came with the intention of killing...

While Xie Ji was toying with Ju-on Douluo, Shu Yan activated the Spatial Lock, directly imprisoning the woman in mid-air. Immediately, his blood-red fourth spirit ring rose up, and his fourth spirit skill, Space-Time Shattering, was activated. Countless dark vortexes appeared, and the crisp sound of space shattering echoed between heaven and earth. The bright starry sky was completely shrouded at this moment, leaving only mournful wails to adorn the night...

……

A moment later, Shu Yan put away his spoils and then slowly walked up to the woman.

Unexpectedly, the woman remained very calm; although there was fear in her eyes, there was more composure than fear.

"who are you?"

Shu Yan chuckled, raised his hand to release the spatial lock on the woman, and then said:
"Isn't it obvious? Hand over the Core of Space..."

The woman paused for a moment upon hearing this before speaking:

"I think you've misunderstood. The Heart of Space isn't with me."

Shu Yan raised his hand and lifted the woman's chin. Then, a wisp of spatial power entered the pendant under her earlobe. As the restriction in the storage soul tool was broken, a soft silver light bloomed, and the spatial core slowly flew out from it.

"hehe…"

Shu Yan chuckled softly, reaching out to tentatively drip a drop of his essence blood onto the core of space. As the blood slowly seeped into the core, a crimson silver light suddenly burst forth, and the entire world froze. The sky above seemed to suddenly crack open, revealing a majestic and imposing figure standing against the light. Even though his face was obscured, his gaze still caused the already unstable space to shatter at a speed nearly three times faster…

Shu Yan looked up, and although he couldn't see the person's face clearly either, he had a feeling that the person's gaze was fixed on him, and even revealed a hint of fervor.

As the figure slightly raised his hand, the surrounding wind and clouds changed, and a dazzling silver light swooped down, directly hitting the core of space. Under Shu Yan's gaze, the silver coating on the originally magnificent and mysterious core of space slowly melted away, and this treasure representing the inheritance of the gods revealed its true appearance to Shu Yan for the first time!

Magnificent, splendid, and mysterious—that was Shu Yan's first impression. But as the Heart of Space, mixed with the silver liquid, slowly seeped into his sea of ​​consciousness, Shu Yan's smile quickly vanished.

That was extreme pain, the torment of having one's soul torn apart and then reformed, a pain that even the vast life energy within the Sea of ​​Expansion could not diminish in the slightest…

The next moment, Shu Yan swung his right arm violently, shattering space after space as it fell. This attack did not even rely on any spatial power, but only on the pure power of his physical body. The two super beast martial souls, plus many unimaginable super soul bones, forged a steel body for Shu Yan that could not be described in words.

The pain lasted for about fifteen minutes before it slowly subsided. By then, Shu Yan was covered in blood and sweat. He knelt on one knee in the void, his face slightly pale, but his heart was still pounding wildly.

This was undoubtedly a baptism for him. After the pain, his spiritual sea was shattered and rebuilt. The boundless space was vast and limitless. What made Shu Yan most happy was that the original sea of ​​life had disappeared and the powerful life energy had been completely integrated into his body. Now his spiritual sea was like a series of worlds that had just been born from chaos, and everything exuded a primitive yet pure aura.

At the very center of the entire Sea of ​​Spirit, a large, turquoise cocoon floated silently in mid-air.

The pure life force emanated from the area, attracting Xue Di and the others who had just recovered from their surprise.

"She is taking human form. This time, the shattering and reshaping of Ayan's spiritual sea not only propelled his spiritual sea to a new level, but also caused a change in the life level of the Spirit of Life. We have also received a feedback from this, not only having our spiritual origins cleansed, but also showing a subtle tendency to leap forward in our life level..."

Hyotei held Yuki-tei's hand and said with some joy.

A smile appeared on Xue Di's face, and at the same time, there was a sense of relief and emotion deep in her eyes.

Choosing Shu Yan was indeed the right decision. Immortality and godhood were no longer just dreams for them; they had all become a reality.

The weakest and lowest-ranking member of the Spirit Sea was trembling with excitement. To the uninitiated, it seemed as if it had lost its mind. But only the others knew that Tianmeng was simply overwhelmed by emotion and could no longer suppress the surging emotions within her.

"I knew it! I would never misjudge you, Ayan! I love you! When I become a true god, I will be the boss of the far north! The Ice Emperor and the Snow Emperor will all have to step aside for me, the Heavenly Emperor!"

Overwhelmed by emotion, Tianmeng completely ignored Xue Di and Bing Di beside her, her ambitious tone making it seem as if all of this would become a reality in the next moment.

"Heh, Heavenly Emperor? You dare call yourself worthy of that title? But I think the title 'Dream Emperor' suits you better, the emperor of the daydreaming school... Tianmeng, after all this time, you really haven't changed a bit..."

Hyotei sneered.

The Snow Empress and the Eight-Cornered Ice Grass also looked over, their three icy gazes causing Tianmeng to tremble. Only then did she realize the magnitude of her transgression…

Both the Ice Empress and the Snow Empress are extremely possessive. Even though they are now in spirit form, they still consider themselves the true masters of the far north. Tianmeng's words are tantamount to a subject plotting a rebellion...

Not far away, the Demon King glanced at Tianmeng who was ready to be beaten with cold eyes, and then looked back indifferently, but there was a strange color deep in her eyes...

In any case, at least her confidence in avenging her husband had increased considerably... Following Shu Yan was definitely not a wrong decision...
