Douluo: This Legend of the Dragon King is not quite right

Chapter 442 The Demon Emperor's Wrath

Leng Yaozhu didn't sense any aura of the Demon Emperor at all!
They didn't even notice the slightest spatial fluctuation.

But out of her almost instinctive trust in Lu Jun and the series of miracles he had created before, Leng Yaozhu did not hesitate at all.

She immediately suppressed the turmoil in her heart, and with a flash, she transformed into a red shadow, instantly arriving in front of Emperor Xu, who was about to give some instructions.

She bowed slightly and, in a hurried yet respectful whisper, reported to Emperor Xu the information that Lu Jun had previously given her.

Of course, she didn't mention any news about Lu Jun, only that during the battle, she sensed unusual spatial fluctuations and a dark aura, which she suspected was the Demon Emperor, the leader of the Holy Spirit Cult, hiding there.

"Hmm?" For the first time, a clear look of surprise appeared on Emperor Xu Tian's refined face.

His gaze suddenly sharpened like that of a hawk, abruptly turning towards the depths of the northern sea.

Even with his immense mental power as a Limit Douluo, after careful scanning, he could only vaguely detect that extremely faint, eerie fluctuation that was almost integrated with the aura of the vast ocean. If its location had not been pointed out in advance, it would have been easy to overlook.

"They've hidden it well..." Emperor Xu muttered to himself, then his face regained its grim and majestic expression. "You hold your ground here, clear the battlefield, and activate the highest level of defensive formation."

His gaze swept over Dong Zian and Leng Yaozhu, and he commanded:

“I’ll be right back. I want to see who this Demon Emperor of the Holy Spirit Cult is, and who dares to covet my Federation’s territory.”

As soon as he finished speaking, Emperor Xu took a step forward.

This step, seemingly simple, is actually incredibly profound.

The space in front of him seemed to automatically fold and shrink, his figure instantly became blurry, and the next moment he appeared on the distant horizon. In another flash, he completely disappeared from everyone's sight, as if he had merged into the void.

Shrink to an inch!

Lu Jun, who had been observing this side with his peripheral vision, couldn't help but show a hint of genuine surprise in his eyes.

That's incredibly powerful, it can shrink the distance to an inch!

Lu Jun's heart stirred slightly, but his expression remained calm and composed.

Regardless, he has achieved his goal.

He was unsure of the exact extent of the Demon Emperor's power recovery or whether any other powerful figures were lurking nearby.

After all, it was already known from previous information that the Holy Spirit Cult and the Abyss Plane had already begun their cooperation.

Therefore, Lu Jun would never easily use the precious divine energy within the Ice Abyss Sword to launch an attack and gamble on an uncertain kill.

Taking risks has never been his style.

But he could roughly tell that the Demon Queen seemed to be extremely wary of him, or rather, that her grand plan seemed to have been disrupted by his unexpected appearance.

The fact that she could suppress her anger and not show herself after my provocation meant that she either felt she was not strong enough to overwhelm me, or she was preparing some bigger conspiracy.

Since she wasn't taking the initiative to come forward, Lu Jun was happy to have some peace and quiet.

For him, the divine energy stored within the Ice Abyss Sword was his trump card for survival; every bit used was a finite amount.

As long as Lu Jun is alive and continues to replenish the artifact's energy, victory is assured.

There's no need to easily expose and deplete our trump cards for the sake of a Demon Emperor. If we were to suffer an unexpected defeat, that would be a huge joke.

Lu Jun's caution was ingrained in his very being. But now that Emperor Xu Tian has arrived, things are completely different.

He successfully orchestrated behind the scenes for Xu Tiandi to clash with the Demon Emperor.

Regardless of the outcome, he can remain calm and composed.

If the Demon Emperor's strength has not increased in an unexpectedly absurd way as he knows it in the original story, then he would not mind secretly cooperating with Emperor Xu at a critical moment to unleash a trace of divine power and kill him instantly.

Eliminating a crucial and high-potential god-level combatant from the enemy ahead of time is an incredibly worthwhile deal.

Conversely... if the Demon Emperor conceals his strength, or if he has the assistance of powerful figures from the Abyss, then he can calmly observe from the sidelines, carefully studying Xu Tiandi's true combat power, trump cards and methods, as well as the information that the Demon Emperor and the Abyss may reveal.

Even when they are locked in fierce battle and have no time to spare, one can secretly use the Divine Eye to probe the deeper information of Emperor Xu.

This is undoubtedly an excellent opportunity to gather intelligence.

Lu Jun gently placed his hands on the hilt of the Ice Abyss Sword, the tip of the sword sinking into the ice, his posture upright like a pine tree.

His white robes fluttered slightly in the cold wind of the far north, making him look like a celestial being banished from the ice and snow.

His gaze seemed to pierce through endless space, landing on the distant sea, awaiting the outbreak of a peak showdown.

Meanwhile, deep in the ocean.

A colossal whale, large enough to rival a small island and entirely a deep, dark blue, floats in the cold depths of the ocean.

Her gaze pierced clearly through the layers of seawater, revealing everything that was happening at the port.

In particular, the scene where Lu Jun lifted the corpse of the Demon Soul Great White Shark to pay tribute to her, and the provocative telepathic message, were like the most vicious mockery, severely piercing her proud and angry nerves.

"Bastard! Bastard!!!"

A deep, violent roar reverberated in the deep sea, stirring up turbulent undercurrents.

"Why?! Why did you, this damned variable, appear in the far north! You ruined my grand plan! Damn artifact! Damn artifact spirit!"

The Demon Emperor's rage nearly set the surrounding seawater ablaze.

She painstakingly planned, even cooperating with the Abyss, mobilizing so much power to attack the far north, yet so many unexpected things happened!
However, the sight of the Federal Legion clearing the area in an instant with overwhelming force chilled her to the bone, and a sense of dread crept into her fury.

"Has human technology... advanced to this level? These strange weapons..."

But what caught her off guard and even horrified her was that Xu Tiandi, the Federal Speaker who had just arrived on the battlefield, sped towards her hiding place with unparalleled precision without any hesitation.

The speed was beyond imagination!

"This is impossible!" The Demon Emperor's enormous single eye was filled with disbelief. "My method of concealment could never be so easily seen through unless a true god himself appeared!"

Her gaze suddenly turned to the northern port again, fixing on the white-clad youth.

"It's you! It's you again! You must have discovered my location! And you must have pushed Xu Tiandi here!"

Realizing this, the Demon Emperor's heart was instantly filled with an extremely frustrated and wary feeling.

The mysterious artifact spirit was already something she greatly feared, and now, with the addition of the unfathomable Xu Tiandi, who came with the power of the Federation...

How is she supposed to deal with this?
Even though the Demon Emperor was confident that her strength far surpassed that of Emperor Xu, she didn't dare to make a move easily with Lu Jun around!
