Douluo Jueshi: I Don't Want to Be an Evil Soul Master

Chapter 468 Ambush
The Demon Emperor unleashed his attack, only to be met with an even more powerful force from Lin Xiao.

After breaking through to the limit, Lin Xiao's strength had already improved significantly compared to before. Moreover, he was currently near the Eternal Tower, a creation that surpassed all soul tools.

Even though Electrox said it was less than half the power of the original Tower of Eternity, it was still not to be underestimated.

If he had his current strength, Lin Xiao would probably have been much more composed when facing the Evil Emperor back then.

The Demon Emperor's expression changed repeatedly. She was at a disadvantage in both attacks, and even suffered a considerable loss in the second attack.

He glanced back and instantly made up his mind.

This is, after all, land. As a sea spirit beast, she cannot fully unleash her power. Moreover, she is near the Tower of Eternity. Given this disparity in strength, if they continue to fight, she will probably never gain the upper hand.

With that thought, she instantly abandoned her original plan and flashed off toward the far north.

Her figure moved as if floating in the air, without using much soul power, yet her speed was not slow at all, and she was about to disappear from Lin Xiao's sight.

Lin Xiao turned his head and glanced over there. With his perception, he had already sensed that Abomination was getting closer and closer, but it was too late for him to leave a single word.

The Demon Emperor's plans are inseparable from the arrangements within the Tower of Eternity. As long as the dimensional portal remains closed, even if he escapes this time, he will definitely return in the future.

Moreover, once the Abyss descends, given the connection between the Demon Emperor and the Abyss plane, she will definitely side with the Abyss, and will be even more troublesome than she is now.

Since relations have already soured, it's better to deal with this major threat ahead of time.

His thoughts raced rapidly, and in the blink of an eye, Lin Xiao had made his decision. As his figure flickered, ripples spread through the space, and he vanished in an instant.

Once the abomination found the vicinity, there was naturally nothing else besides the traces left on the ground.

On the other side, the Demon Emperor fled while looking back, trying to find Lin Xiao's whereabouts.

Just as Lin Xiao had expected, she certainly wouldn't give up easily. She wanted revenge, but it seemed like a long way off for her to achieve it on her own.

To exact revenge on a deity, she must rely on the power of the Abyss to reach that realm more quickly.

Since the Tower of Eternity already has an owner, it would be better to deal with Lin Xiao before that happens.

What she feared was not that Lin Xiao would chase after her, but that Lin Xiao would not.

Ultimately, to defeat such an opponent, she would need the ocean, a terrain more advantageous to her.

Time passed, and for a master like the Demon Emperor, traveling from the far north to the icy sea wouldn't take too long.

Turning back again, she saw the figure following behind her in the distance, and her heart immediately felt a little more at ease.

However, as she drew closer to the shore and could even feel the ocean's presence, a strange unease flashed through her mind.

The next instant, a beam of light, interwoven with azure and brilliant gold, shone brightly from the front and headed straight for the Demon Emperor.

The beam of light was incredibly fast, reaching the Demon Emperor in the blink of an eye. The unease in his heart and the attack came almost simultaneously. Even with the Demon Emperor's cultivation and reaction speed, he barely managed to dodge the most fatal part of the attack.

His body was grazed by the outer edge of the beam of light, and the Demon Emperor's cloak instantly turned to ashes.

The attack didn't stop there. The pillar of light lingered, tearing at the Demon Empress's body until a wound burst open. "Roar—"

The Demon Emperor let out a roar unlike any human's, and his entire face instantly became ferocious.

Through the wound, one could see that beneath the Demon Emperor's skin was not flesh and blood like a human's, but rather ripples like waves on the sea.

Her human form was not created through transformation; now, under this attack, she is clearly unable to maintain her human appearance.

In the distance, Lin Xiao followed behind the Demon Queen. Although he already knew that Chen Haisheng was waiting in the sea, he was still slightly surprised to see this attack. He didn't expect that Chen Haisheng's strength seemed to have improved slightly compared to when he dealt with the Evil Emperor.

"you--"

The Demon Emperor's roar was interspersed with indistinct words, his anger undisguised, as if he wanted to unleash all the grudges accumulated over ten thousand years at once.

"What...is your relationship with the Sea God?"

The Demon Emperor's fragmented voice finally pieced together into a complete sentence. As the words were spoken, her figure suddenly grew enormous, floating in the air and blotting out the sun, making the already gloomy far north even more like entering night.

Seeing the Demon Emperor reveal his true form and hearing the hatred in his words, Lin Xiao was completely certain of his guess.

Meanwhile, the golden and blue beams of light gradually dissipated, and Chen Haisheng's figure slowly emerged. Looking at the enormous body in the air, his expression darkened considerably.

“Deep Sea Demon Whale…” Chen Haisheng seemed to be responding to the Demon Emperor’s question, or perhaps talking to himself, “According to clan records, when the current Sea God inherited the divine position ten thousand years ago, he dealt with a Deep Sea Demon Whale King.”

"What is your relationship with that soul beast?"

"what relationship?"

The Demon Emperor seemed to have heard the biggest joke in the world. "Hahahaha, you killed my husband, and now you want to ask me what my relationship with him is?"

"The Sea God protects the people of the sea only to maintain the stability of the ocean. The Deep Sea Demon Whale King wantonly slaughters other sea spirit beasts and wreaks havoc in all directions. He brought this trouble upon himself." Chen Haisheng frowned slightly.

"Hahaha, protect the people of the sea? After my husband died, countless sea spirit beasts invaded and destroyed my home. Where was the sea god you spoke of who protected the people of the sea? Am I not one of the people of the sea?"

Chen Haisheng was speechless for a moment.

If he were the sea god, after eliminating the Deep Sea Demon Whale King, if he knew about the Demon Emperor, he would probably have settled the aftermath.

Unfortunately, he was not the sea god of that time, and could not guess what the sea god of that time was thinking.

The Demon Queen didn't wait for Chen Haisheng's response at all. The more she spoke, the more frenzied her power became. Her voice was still clear at first, but as she talked about what had happened before, her tone became more and more insane, and it became increasingly difficult to understand what she was saying.

Lin Xiao glanced at Chen Haisheng from afar and read the same thought from his expression.

The Demon Emperor was somewhat delirious.

Lin Xiao recalled his memories of his past life; the original Demon Emperor seemed to have gone through a period of mental insanity before encountering the Holy Spirit Cult…

Whether or not the Demon Emperor has fallen back into madness because of remembering the past, the current situation leaves him no room for further thought.
