Douluo: The Holy Radiance of the Dragon King

Chapter 346 The Eternal Suppression of Evil Souls, Titan Snow Demon King's Limited-Time Return, Ghost Emperor Turns to Ashes

"Wow~!"

The void shattered, and a hundred-meter-long staff seemed to split the heavens and the earth, crashing down on the Ghost Emperor. The moment of impact, the Ghost Emperor's chest felt like it was about to burst, and he coughed up a mouthful of blood mist.

Having finally regained his footing, the Ghost Emperor glanced at the Heavenly Saint Rift Halberd given to him by the Abyss Saint Lord, then at the gray-clad Qian Gu Die Ting opposite him, and Qian Gu Qing Feng who had attacked the remaining experts of the Holy Spirit Cult. His smile turned grim.

"Eternal God~ Dieting! The Federation actually called out you, you old bastard, just to kill me, the Ghost Emperor. You really think highly of me!"

As his gaze fixed on the opponent's towering staff, the Ghost Emperor felt a sudden tingling and numbness in his arm. He had been severely injured in the continuous battles, and his left arm had almost lost all feeling in the collision just now.

"The Holy Spirit Cult is the Federation's number one evil organization, which has plagued the continent for ten thousand years. Since the founder of this tower did not eradicate it completely, we, its descendants, must do our part."

Qian Gu Die Ting spoke expressionlessly, his eyes icy and piercing to the bone, "You are no longer my match, and even this divine artifact is not enough; now, commit suicide, and you will at least have some dignity."

"Not your match? Qian Gu Die Ting, aren't you overestimating yourself?"

The Ghost Emperor chuckled softly, saying as he flew, "Chen Xinjie underestimated me. He lost several years of his lifespan with a single strike of my halberd. How much younger are you than him? If you were to take a hit, how much better off would you be?"

Qian Gu Die Ting held his staff horizontally in front of him, his expression calm, and said, "You should know that my Panlong Staff Intent follows the path of fearlessness and indomitable spirit. Even if you possess the most powerful divine weapon, it will not make much difference in front of me."

Before he finished speaking, his figure vanished suddenly, and when he reappeared, he was already above the Ghost Emperor's head.

With a single strike, a staff shadow crashed down from the heavens, carrying fragments of shattered space as it plummeted to the ground!

"Just like that, utterly crushing everything in its path!"

With a single blow, he struck the Ghost Emperor again. The boundless power, like a small plane crashing down, caused the Ghost Emperor's internal organs to burn and his body to crash into the snow mountain like a cannonball. Qian Gu Die Ting picked up his staff and chased after him, wanting to finish him off.

He was absolutely confident that no expert in the entire plane, except for Feng Zaixing, could escape unscathed after taking his blow. The Ghost Emperor's injuries were compounded, and even if he wasn't crippled, he would be severely weakened.

However, just as he approached, he suddenly sensed subtle spatial fluctuations within.

In the next instant, dozens of cannonballs with colorful trails of flame shot out, rapidly heading towards Qian Gu Die Ting, forcing him to defend himself.

"Boom! Boom! Boom—"

The earth-shattering explosion occurred in the far north, like a thunderclap from a clear sky, triggering an avalanche and destroying the battle environment.

A fraction of a minute later, the Panlong Staff of the Ancient Dynasty emitted an extremely powerful soul light, shattering the snow and soaring into the sky.

"You certainly got quite a few good things from the Tang Sect, including their trigger-activated space jump soul tools and fixed-position soul-guided projectiles!"

There was no trace of the Ghost Emperor in the snow-capped mountains, only a large pool of blood. Qian Gu Die Ting knew that the Ghost Emperor had paid a great price to escape, and couldn't help but shake his head inwardly.

He wanted to chase after them again, but after thinking about it, he decided to sweep his stick towards another battlefield.

With a sweep of seven layers of staff shadows, a Title Douluo evil soul master who had been struggling to survive under the Thousand Ancient Wind Purgatory Halberd was shattered into pieces, thus ending his life. He then casually swept towards another evil soul master expert.

"Pfft! A quasi-god like you actually attacked a Super Douluo like me—"

The last Super Douluo of the Holy Spirit Cult was sent flying like a shredded cloth. Qian Gu Qingfeng reacted quickly and seized the opportunity to send the Purgatory Halberd into his chest.

With a flick of the halberd, a burst of soul light erupted, and a super Douluo evil soul master was reduced to ashes.

Having done all this, Qian Gu Qingfeng turned to Qian Gu Die Ting, seemingly dissatisfied, and said, "I could have killed them without your help!"

"I know, but this way it's faster." Qian Gu Die Ting nodded.

Qian Gu Qingfeng immediately lost his temper and said speechlessly, "Aren't you going to hunt down the Ghost Emperor? He's probably on his last breath now, and he might not even be able to burn his life force."

"It's alright, let's check if there are any other surviving evil spirit masters in this snowdrift. If so, kill them all."

Qian Gu Die Ting raised his staff and slammed it down, sweeping across the snow-capped peaks. He said leisurely, "What good is it if the Ghost Emperor escapes? He is destined to die in this far north."

Qian Gu Qingfeng thought for a moment and nodded slightly: "That's true."

Recalling the spirit that Feng Zaixing had previously sent to the Spirit Pagoda to ask them for help, and the spirit that he had taken out of the Spirit Pagoda, Qian Gu Qingfeng felt a chill.

The Ghost Emperor thought this far north could become his refuge, but in reality, it was already his doom.

"Escape! I must escape! Even if I'm on my last breath, I will escape from here!"

Having suffered three consecutive battles against powerful opponents of the same level, the Ghost Emperor's body was almost at its limit, and he desperately fled with only an indomitable will.

It's worth mentioning that he was currently holding two baby bottles and putting them into his mouth. These were soul power baby bottles developed during the Sun Moon Empire era, designed to quickly replenish depleted soul power.

However, the Ghost Emperor forgot one thing at this moment:

The Soul Power Milk Bottle itself has a strong impact and places high demands on the body. Normally, he could use it however he wanted without any problems, but at this moment...

He was practically a cripple.

"Bang!"

A quasi-god fell from the sky, his meridians unable to withstand the impact of the baby bottle on his body, and he lost control of his soul power, collapsing headfirst into the snow.

"Damn it, I, I've actually become this weak?"

The Ghost Emperor was unusually clear-headed. He managed to sit cross-legged and meditate, disregarding the pursuers outside and trying to soothe his injuries.

A quick internal examination revealed injuries everywhere. Kong Yao's sun and moon flames flowed through his meridians; his shoulder bore the fist imprint left by Aruheng, tears streaming down his face; Chen Xinjie's ocean soul power lingered in his bone marrow; and finally, there was the excruciating pain inflicted by Qian Gu Die Ting's Panlong Staff Intent—

Such an injury would be fatal to any quasi-god. Seeing that he was injured to this extent, the Ghost Emperor hurriedly took out a handful of pills from his storage ring and stuffed them into his mouth.

However, before he could recover his breathing for long, he heard footsteps nearby that sent chills down his spine.

The footsteps were very loud, like an earthquake.

"We found him! That old man is really good at running; he actually managed to escape all the way here." A somewhat playful female voice rang out.

"Thanks to Titan, otherwise we wouldn't have been able to do this," another calm and pleasant female voice said.

The Ghost Emperor suddenly opened his eyes and saw a colossal beast over 120 meters long approaching from afar.

Apart from the Demon Emperor, he had hardly seen anything comparable in size to this behemoth.

"A ferocious beast? No, it's a spirit!"

The Ghost Emperor was startled. He looked at the enormous beast and saw that a beautiful young girl was standing on each of its shoulders. He immediately understood everything, and his face, which was as white as gold paper, turned grim.

"The former three great kings of the far north, Titan Snow Demon King! No wonder I'm hunted down no matter where I flee; there is no being in this world who understands this far north better than you!"

Ten thousand years ago, there were three powerful and ferocious beasts in the far north, known as the Heavenly Kings: the Snow Empress, the Ice and Snow Maiden; the Ice Jade Scorpion King; and the Titan Snow Demon King before us. Among them, the Snow Empress and the Ice Empress may have ascended to heaven along with the Spirit Ice Douluo ten thousand years ago.

Titan Snow Demon King naturally became the ruler of the far north after Snow Empress, ruling the far north, but although he was large in size, his strength was not far inferior to Snow Empress's.

As time passed, the abundant soul beast resources of the far north attracted the covetous eyes of the Spirit Pagoda. The Titan Snow Demon King fell at the hands of human powerhouses and was taken back to be made into an indomitable soul spirit, leading to the fall of the far north.

Even so, the Titan Snow Demon King had relied on the advantageous environment of the far north to contend with human powerhouses for many years, and no one understood the far north better than him.

The Ghost Emperor stared intently at Titan Snow Demon King and roared, "Aren't you the indomitable soul of the Spirit Pagoda? How come you've submitted to humans today? Don't forget how your far north lands ended up like this!"

Titan Snow Demon King remained remarkably calm as he slowly said, "I haven't forgotten, but a human brought these two girls to the Spirit Tower and made a deal with me in the name of the Angel God and Huo Yuhao."

"It's just a matter of finding him an evil soul master. I don't even need to lift a finger. In return, I can regain my physical body, restore the soul beast ecosystem of the far north, or even ascend to godhood together. I cannot refuse this offer."

"A deal? The reputation of Angel God and Huo Yuhao? Ha, it really was that guy!"

How could the Ghost Emperor not know who the Titan Snow Demon King was referring to as a human? Such a benefit would be impossible for him to refuse.

Yuan Enhui and Na'er flew down from the left and right, one holding a hammer and the other a spear, shouting from afar, "Ghost Emperor, your death is near."

The Ghost Emperor's face showed despair, and he forced a mocking smile: "Where is Feng Zaixing? Does my cultivation have no appeal to him? I thought that even if I were to die, it would be him who would make the move."

Yuan Enhui coldly replied, "Does killing you require the teacher's personal intervention?"

Na'er's silver dragon spear pierced through the Ghost Emperor's chest, drawing out shriveled flesh and blood. "You've met my eldest and second senior brothers, but you probably haven't taken me, your third disciple, seriously, have you?"

The Ghost Emperor murmured something, and the ghostly fire in his eyes quickly dimmed.

"A hero of his time, yet this is his end; I, the Emperor, am not reconciled—"

"boom!"

Yuan Enhui slammed his hammer down behind the Ghost Emperor, and the Heavenly Saint Rift Halberd flew out of the snowdrift as he attempted a last-ditch counterattack.

After carefully storing the weapon that was exactly the same as the super artifact in his teacher's hand, Yuan Enhui coldly watched as the Ghost Emperor's life force rapidly disappeared.

As soon as Na'er drew her silver dragon spear, Yuan Enhui swung his hammer down, smashing the Ghost Emperor's head like a watermelon. Various colored liquids flowed out, and the ground looked like a curtain of dye that had been overturned, a riot of colors.

Na'er shook the Silver Dragon Spear, and a dense fire element suddenly appeared out of nowhere in the icy snow. The red flames burned fiercely, burning away the Ghost Emperor's remains and consuming all his sins.

After the ashes were burned, Na'er took out the earthenware jar, stored it in the air, sealed it, and said with some disdain, "Let's go. Senior brother is really troublesome. He insists that we go through all the steps of being pierced through the heart, smashed on the head, and scattered to ashes. There is no legend that the Ghost Emperor can be resurrected after death. Why is he being so cautious?"

"It's also part of the process of eliminating the Ghost Emperor. Senior Brother brought so many experts to join the fight against the Ghost Emperor; wasn't it all to form an alliance and prepare for the upcoming war of unification?"

Yuan Enhui smiled and comforted him, "A Ghost Emperor wouldn't normally warrant this much effort. Senior Brother painstakingly arranged this series of pursuits, firstly to make it difficult for that demon to die, and secondly to involve all the major powers. Otherwise, his actions would be..."

"It's about swinging the sword a couple more times."

The saying goes that it's better to cultivate relationships by doing bad things together. The Spirit Pagoda, the War God Temple, the Mingde Hall, and the military all participated in the fierce battle. From now on, everyone will be a community that advances and retreats together, with the main goal of maximizing the use of the Ghost Emperor and stabbing him in the back by everyone.

Yuan Enhui was very pleased that the Ghost Emperor, this perfect tool, had persisted until they came to do the finishing work, and had not wasted his senior brother's expectations of him.

"Oh my, little Ye Hui, I've discovered that you understand your senior brother even better than I do now." Na'er blinked her beautiful eyes, her gaze towards Yuanen Ye Hui revealing a playful look.

"It's only natural that we've been influenced by what we've seen and heard all along." Yuanen Yehui shrugged and urged, "Let's hurry back. We've chased far enough, and we still need to bring back the Ghost Emperor's ashes. Once we've pacified the Star Luo Empire, we'll have finished everything we need to do in this generation. From then on, we can live a carefree life without any worries."

Na'er gently pursed her lips, then a hint of anticipation arose within her.

"Yes, finally we can take a break."
