Douluo: My Clone Simulates the Star God.

Chapter 34 Harboring Hidden Intentions

"What use are you to soul beasts in such a weakened state, especially to the Lord of Soul Beasts?"

"I might as well absorb you; maybe that would allow me to break through the limitations of this world?"

Amidst that malevolent voice, the Demon Emperor's aura surged, and the oppressive force emanating from his lower body instantly pressed down on Gu Yue.

But who is Gu Yue?

Silver Dragon King!

She's fought against true gods, so why would she be afraid of a demigod? Even if Gu Yue is incomplete and injured now, she's still not someone a demigod can easily mess with.

A flash of purple-gold light appeared, and the Demon Emperor launched an attack on the person in front of him without hesitation, while Gu Yue's arms sprouted silver scales, which she used to shield herself.

Just as the purple-gold and silver light converged, a powerful airflow spread out from the two of them, shattering countless rocks in the cave. But before these rocks could fall, another shockwave instantly reduced them to dust.

"This is?"

Both Gu Yue and the Demon Emperor's expressions changed, and they quickly distanced themselves, watching each other warily. But at that moment, another dark figure made his move.

"My lord!"

Upon seeing the Demon Emperor attack Gu Yue, Di Tian immediately became anxious. Although he didn't need to worry about Gu Yue's strength, the Silver Dragon King, as half of the Dragon God, held great symbolic significance, especially for a dragon like Di Tian.

How could we be threatened by a fish hiding in the deep sea?

So Di Tian directly revealed his Black Dragon Claw, intending to teach this fish a lesson, however…

"Wait, Di Tian! Don't make a move yet!" Even though Gu Yue's voice came from behind, it was too late. The Demon Emperor had already taken the same stance as Di Tian.

Boom!

In their previous encounter, Gu Yue had only been on the defensive and had not launched any attacks. But now, Di Tian was truly unleashing the power of a demigod, intending to clash with the Demon Emperor.

However, just like Gu Yue, Di Tian understood why Gu Yue had retreated earlier during the fight. He could feel a faint suppressive force emanating from the Demon Emperor.

"Have you already reached that level?"

"certainly!"

The darkness was gradually suppressed by the purple-gold. Before Di Tian could react, the Demon Emperor turned his fist into a palm and slapped Di Tian on the shoulder, forcing him to retreat to Gu Yue's side.

"I never imagined that there would be a soul beast in the deep sea that could reach such a level. It seems I truly underestimated you!"

Gu Yue's tone became serious. Although the Demon Emperor was not as strong as her, the other soul beasts besides her could not withstand it.

Because in the brief moment of their exchange, Gu Yue sensed that the Demon Emperor's strength was on the same level as Di Tian's; they were both demigods.

The reason why the Demon Emperor was able to suppress Di Tian was because she had gone further than Di Tian in the realm of demigods!

Di Tian's strength is equivalent to the top level among demigods, but what about the Demon Emperor? She is a demigod who has already touched the realm of true god! Just as she said earlier, she is only one step away from achieving that goal!

Perhaps all it takes is a trigger for the Demon Emperor to ascend directly from a demigod to a true god!

Of course, these are true gods without divine positions, since the realm of gods no longer exists.

"Not at all, not at all. I didn't expect the Lord of Soul Beasts to have power that rivals that of a true god. I was truly blind." The Demon Emperor waved his hand helplessly. Although it was only a brief exchange, both sides had assessed each other's strength and chose to withdraw at the same time.

"Let's skip the rest of the probing. We're both soul beasts; we shouldn't continue fighting amongst ourselves and let humanity's advantage grow stronger." Gu Yue extended her hand again. "Let's cooperate!"

"I will place all the remaining soul beasts within the Holy Spirit Cult to work alongside you. We must annihilate all of humanity!"

"Of course, how could I let those humans who slaughtered our own kind go unpunished?" The Demon Emperor smiled. "Even the humans within the Holy Spirit Cult are the same. After wiping out the humans outside, they'll be next!"

"Aren't you afraid that if they find out about this, they'll leak your information beforehand?"

"How could that be! If you don't tell and I don't tell, who will know?" Faced with Gu Yue's question, the Demon Emperor merely smiled contemptuously. "Besides, those guys are notorious evil spirit masters in the outside world. Even if you told them, would anyone believe you? And how would they even come looking for me?"

"This is the deep sea, isolated from the outside world. Our forces collided here, and there wasn't a single reaction on land!"

"And no one will know that we have already formed an alliance. When humanity shows a weakness, that will be the time for our great counterattack as soul beasts!"

Despite experiencing some minor setbacks, Gu Yue eventually succeeded in cooperating with the Demon Emperor and began to formulate a major counterattack plan against humanity.

However, after Gu Yue led Di Tian away, Di Tian immediately spoke up. Although he hadn't spoken since being defeated by the Demon Emperor, it didn't mean he had no objections.

"My lord, as expected, that fellow hasn't given up his wicked intentions!"

During the discussion of the plan, the Demon Emperor's gaze repeatedly fell on Gu Yue's heart, clearly indicating that she had some ideas of her own.

"I know. What that girl said before was probably not a lie. She really intended to devour me to advance to godhood... but she didn't dare to make a move after confirming our strength."

Although Gu Yue's strength is incomplete, it is definitely enough to suppress the Demon Emperor, at least until the Demon Emperor becomes a god. As for Di Tian... although he is slightly outmatched by the Demon Emperor, this is without using his soul skills. In a real fight, Di Tian still has the Dragon God Claw!

"So I gave her a way out, after all, our primary target right now is humanity. Because if our struggle benefits humanity, it's definitely not worth it. So we must unite against humanity, at least until humanity shows signs of weakness, so we don't have to worry about her directly attacking us..."

After Gu Yue left, the Demon Emperor's expression turned fierce once again.

"I never expected there would be a Silver Dragon King..."

"Damn it, I really don't have any solutions on my own."

The Demon Emperor is no match for Gu Yue; this has already been confirmed, and even the Demon Emperor himself thinks so.

but…

Is it really true that the Demon Emperor can't defeat Gu Yue?

The answer is, not necessarily!

The image of a certain man gradually appeared in his mind. Even the Demon Emperor's expression became solemn at this moment, even more so than when he confronted the Silver Dragon King earlier.

"If I borrow his power, I'm absolutely certain I can successfully devour the Silver Dragon King, but then I'll be at his mercy..."

"The power of the 'Abyss' is indeed dangerous!"

"It's best not to use it unless absolutely necessary."

I'm sorry, something happened at home, so I had to go back to my hometown.

I'll start writing right away.
