Douluo Continent: The Peerless Tang Sect, Angels and Rakshasa Return

Chapter 296 297 278. I'm digging and digging in the tiny ocean, bringing home whatever I find.

After a moment of contemplation, the Wu Yun sisters suddenly realized what was happening and walked towards the mermaid sisters with a wicked laugh.

Considering that the blood should not be splattered on the Demon Queen's back, Qian Lingyun thoughtfully opened the gate to the undead demiplane for the Wu Yun sisters, letting them go inside to solve the problem themselves.

She believed that it wouldn't be long before she had two more Title Douluos under her command, each with a 100,000-year-old soul ring and soul bone.

"By the way, where are we going now?" Qian Lingyun asked.

"Of course we must eliminate them completely!" The Demon Queen sneered, mocking, "The strongest and core members of the merfolk are all dead. Now they're just like a side dish for others to enjoy. Don't you want to do something about it?"

"Hehehe! Of course I want to!"

Upon receiving Qian Lingyun's reply, the Demon Queen suddenly spewed out a large spray of seawater from the air vent on her back, carrying them as they sank into the depths of the ocean.

Blue-purple soul power gathered on the Demon Queen's back, creating a soul power barrier that isolated them from the seawater. Under the barrier, they could not feel the pressure of the seawater at all, and they could even breathe calmly.

As they ventured deeper into the sea, the color of the water gradually deepened, and the surrounding scenery could only be seen through the light emanating from the blue barrier, but not far away.

All the sea creatures in the ocean would retreat on their own when they sensed the terrifying aura emanating from the Demon Queen.

Deep in the ocean, a palace-like complex quietly appeared, radiating a blue glow that illuminated an area of ​​dozens of miles around. Mermaids could be clearly seen swimming within it, and the buildings were constructed entirely of coral and various rare minerals from the sea.

Although it is not a real building like those built by humans, it has a strong marine character.

Before long, the Demon Queen led everyone to a building entirely made of coral, which was also the largest building in the entire underwater world.

This coral palace project is quite large in scale, with a height of thirty meters and a width of several hundred meters. Even in the human world, there are very few palaces of this size.

Moreover, a faint, rich aura of soul power emanates from within this palace, indicating that it possesses considerable offensive and defensive capabilities.

Furthermore, considering that the palace is located deep in the sea, its safety is beyond question.

Unfortunately, the security here is insufficient to withstand an attack from someone at the Limit Douluo level.

Before the Demon Queen could even stir up any trouble, the remaining hundreds of mermaids emerged from every corner of the complex.

These merfolk included both old and young, and their strength was vastly different from the group that Qian Lingyun had killed.

Armed with a variety of weapons, they glared angrily at the hundreds-of-meters-long whale. The disparity in their fighting strength was overwhelming… roughly equivalent to the Somali pirates attempting to block America's aircraft carrier with hundreds of speedboats…

"Shall we do it, or should we?"

The Demon Queen completely disregarded the group of old, weak, sick, and disabled people. Instead, she condensed back into human form and stared at Qian Lingyun with a pair of heroic eyes.

"I troubled you to protect me while I absorbed the spirit ring; now, I'll take over!"

As she spoke, Qian Lingyun took a step forward within the barrier, and the only remaining blood-red soul ring with six golden patterns on her body appeared, then shone brightly.

"ah!!!"

A sharp, piercing shriek instantly rang out from Qian Lingyun's slightly parted lips.

Eighth Soul Skill, Angel's Scream ①.

Angel's Scream, through a special method of soul power conversion, instantly transforms half of the soul power into a mental shock, launching a wide-range attack.

Being attacked will cause a strong mental shock. If the opponent's mental strength is more than twice that of the Angel Soul Master, the soul will be shattered and the head will explode, resulting in death.

If the difference in skill level is less than double, it will be converted into a mental shock, causing mental damage and a stun effect on the opponent.

The duration of dizziness depends on the difference in mental strength between the opponent and oneself.

In summary, it's a powerful soul skill possessing both offensive and control characteristics, encompassing both spiritual and auditory attributes. It's also one of the 100,000-year soul skills granted by the Sea Princess's soul ring!

Amidst the piercing shriek, a distorted ripple could be seen spreading out from Qian Lingyun's center, even affecting her own people with her powerful group soul skill.

Everyone instinctively covered their ears, their minds went blank for a moment, and they felt weak.

The weakest of the Ten Thousand Souls Douluo's old face darkened, and he actually revealed his two soul rings, finally relying on the enhancement of his soul skills to barely withstand the attack.

As for the weaker mermaids, their souls shattered and their heads exploded amidst the screams.

Large swathes of spirit rings floated out from the headless corpse and slowly drifted toward Qian Lingyun.

Adhering to the principle of making the best use of resources, Qian Lingyun happily refined these soul rings into secret soul bones. Only Wan Hun Douluo looked at those shattered souls and shed tears of sorrow.

So many souls! Shattered like that, beyond repair. His heart aches so much, waaaaaah…

After carefully storing the secret technique soul bone, Qian Lingyun and the others split up and set off, clearly intending to move the coral reef away.

The largest mermaid palace undoubtedly belonged to Qian Lingyun. She threw everything she could see into the undead demiplane, even having the undead creatures dig out the floor tiles.

Believe it or not, she really is capable of tearing down and rebuilding a Coral Palace.

The undead creatures were busy here, and Qian Lingyun came to the last room alone.

The room was very large and filled with various decorations: pearls the size of human heads, crystal-clear seashells, and beautiful colorful corals, all of which were priceless treasures in the human world.

In the center of the room was a bed, its color pure white, resembling jade, and emanating a faint chill.

Qian Lingyun touched it with her hand, and as expected, it was jade, and cold jade at that.

This is amazing! I have to take it home and lie down in it!

"What should we do after we get ashore?"

The Demon Queen's indistinct voice came from behind, surprising Qian Lingyun. From her tone, Qian Lingyun could clearly sense her impatience and the intense hatred suppressed in her heart.

Unable to resist turning her head to look, Qian Lingyun saw that the Demon Queen was elegantly chewing on a piece of mermaid tail, with some other parts in her hand. "Would you like some?"

As she spoke, the Demon Queen very kindly handed Qian Lingyun a piece of... uh, sashimi?

"Okay, thank you." Qian Lingyun took the sashimi and explained while eating, "I need to go back and seize power first, and then I'll take things slowly!"

"How long will it take?" the Demon Queen asked.

Qian Lingyun frowned and pondered, "Twenty years!"

"It'll take that long? You're not kidding me, are you?" The Demon Queen stopped chewing, clearly very dissatisfied with Qian Lingyun's answer, feeling like she'd been tricked!

"You've waited ten thousand years, what's another twenty?" Qian Lingyun chuckled, taking the opportunity to provoke the Demon Queen: "Haste makes waste! Even these twenty years were only possible because of your help, otherwise, my plan might have taken thirty years! Or even longer!"

"So, it seems my appearance is quite important!"

The Demon Queen's tone softened slightly, but still carried a hint of sternness: "Girl, you can't expect me to work for you for free as an ally! There has to be some reward, you know! Otherwise, I'll choose to kill you first!"

"Your Majesty, rest assured, I will let you witness and even participate in the destruction of the so-called Sea God Family and Shrek Academy."

"But you need a suitable title. How about the High Priest of the Holy Spirit Cult?"

"Me?!" The Demon Queen was slightly taken aback, looking at Qian Lingyun with a strange expression, but in the end, she actually agreed.

Qian Lingyun raised a piece of sashimi and clinked glasses with the fish tail in the Demon Queen's hand, seemingly reaching some interesting consensus.

"Girl, what did you talk to this woman about? She actually plans to come back to the Holy Spirit Cult with us?"

Before leaving, Yuma looked at the Coral Palace, whose foundation had been dug up, and couldn't help but move closer to Qian Lingyun, asking her with a forced smile. Qian Lingyun placed her hand on the back of Yuma's hand, smiled slightly, and shook her head with a mysterious sigh:

"It cannot be told, it cannot be told!"

Hearing this, Yuma's forehead veins throbbed slightly, and she slapped Qian Lingyun on the waist and hip, angrily saying, "Tch...you brat, just wait till we get back, I'll cut your allowance!"

"Ah? No!!"

……

The Demon Queen's speed in the sea was undeniably fast; it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say it was as fast as lightning.

In just a few moments, the people sitting on the whale's back were already able to see the edge of the land in the distance.

Along the long coastline, a hazy mist is spreading rampantly in the very middle section.

The speed at which the mist spread was truly astonishing; in the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, it had already reached the surface of the sea.

Yuma glanced at the mist, and a slight smile appeared on her lips. She whispered a few words in Qian Lingyun's ear, guiding the Demon Queen to speed towards the very center of the mist.

For the Demon Queen, the presence or absence of mist is irrelevant. In this Douluo Continent and even Douluo Star, the number of creatures that can threaten her can be counted on two hands.

It's nothing more than the big eye of the Demon Forest, a few dragons of the Starry Sky Forest, and a couple of old monsters in the ocean.

Of course, if the Deep Sea Demon Whale King is still alive, then those old monsters in the sea and the big eye of the Demon Forest can be directly eliminated.

"Mommy, who is this guest you're talking about?"

As the whale's back slowly entered the overwhelming gray mist, Qian Lingyun watched helplessly as everyone around her disappeared one by one in the pitch-black gray fog.

She could hear them talking, but couldn't see where they were, as if... as if she had entered a maze.

"This ability is really troublesome." Qian Lingyun pouted slightly in exasperation, and the magnificent sapphire on her crown flashed with a dazzling blue light.

In the dazzling blue light, the brilliance in Qian Lingyun's eyes dimmed slightly.

At this moment, time seemed to slow down, and everything around her became exceptionally clear. A wealth of information instantly appeared in Qian Lingyun's mind, wherever her gaze fell.

Centered on Qian Lingyun, within a radius of five kilometers, she didn't need to look at anything; all the scenery was presented in three dimensions in her mind. Any slight change would immediately be reflected in her brain.

If Huo Yuhao were here to experience Qian Lingyun's current perspective, he would be amazed that there was actually a second person in the world who possessed the mental detection and shared soul skill that he was so proud of.

Despite obtaining such a seemingly powerful soul skill, Qian Lingyun was not happy; in fact, she was a little sad.

The so-called shared mental detection is not a particularly powerful soul skill; it just requires a slightly higher level of skill.

Ten thousand years ago, almost everyone who was a Soul Master with a certain level of mental cultivation possessed this ability.

"Tsk, this sea princess really hates me to the core! She gave me four soul skills from the soul rings and soul bones, but the two soul bones are completely useless!"

"A shared mental detection system and a mental locking marker are things that one can figure out on their own once their mental strength reaches a certain level."

With a soft sigh, Qian Lingyun raised her hand to touch the dazzling crown on her head, finally consoling herself: "Oh well, at least it's somewhat useful. It's better than nothing!"

She walked effortlessly through the thick fog to Yuma's side. Unsurprisingly, Yuma was calmly setting up a pot to brew tea. Seeing Qian Lingyun navigate the fog with such ease, a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes. She twirled a stray hair from her forehead with her index finger and said, "You're here!"

Qian Lingyun did not respond, thinking that she knew that Yuma's words were not directed at her. The one who responded was a figure formed from gray mist.

As the fog dissipated, a Super Douluo Elder of the Holy Spirit Cult, whom Qian Lingyun had never seen before, suddenly appeared here.

What's even more interesting is that she was also carrying another Title Douluo that Qian Lingyun had never seen before.

Yes, it's alive, the kind that can run, jump, and talk.

"Fourth Sister, can I borrow some money?"

The woman in the gray robe abandoned the old man in her arms, walked straight past Qian Lingyun, and went directly to Yuma, reaching out to ask for money.

Upon seeing this, Qian Lingyun couldn't help but frown.

Who exactly is this guy?

Among the Super Douluo Priests who don't wear the Holy Spirit Cult's sacrificial robes, there seems to be only one Fifth Priest who hasn't spoken to her.

Could it be that this guy with the old-fashioned big braid, who looks like a country girl, is the Five Offerings?

Perhaps sensing Qian Lingyun's slightly questioning gaze, the braided village girl... no, the unknown worshipper lazily raised her head, looked at the surprised Qian Lingyun, and nonchalantly introduced herself:

"Well! Saintess, didn't I vote against your proposal during the meeting? What? You don't recognize me after more than a year?"

"What the heck...you're here just to cause trouble, aren't you?!" Qian Lingyun glanced at herself awkwardly, thinking: [You're pretty honest. There weren't many people voting "reject," and you even went out of your way to tell me. You really...]

"Holy Maiden, this is Darren, the Fifth Priest of the Hall of Worship, titled: Dark Mist."

The old man, sitting on the ground, scrambled to his feet in a disheveled state and managed to give Qian Lingyun a brief bow.

"She is the Fifth Offering, and you are..." Qian Lingyun glanced at the old man briefly and roughly judged his strength.

The floor tile is from a level 91 Title Douluo! The soul power is still fluctuating slightly, so it should be because it was recently promoted to Title Douluo.

"I am a new elder who just obtained my ninth spirit ring yesterday with the help of the five elders. According to the current order, I should be ranked fourteenth. My spirit is Nightmare Demon Beast, and my title is Nightmare."

The Nightmare Demon Martial Soul is a type of soul beast with very weak actual combat power but exceptionally strong illusion abilities. It is extremely rare, even if it is only one hundred times.

Whether a Soul Master or an ordinary person, once they enter a Nightmare state under his illusionary attacks, he can not only control their life and death, but also use the Nightmare to drive them into battle. Ultimately, those trapped in a Nightmare will inevitably die, and the terrified resentment after death is the best way for the Nightmare Douluo to improve his cultivation.

This Sleeping Douluo is not actually a threat to top-tier Soul Masters, as illusions are rarely effective against Super Douluo-level powerhouses.

However, if it is used to deal with human wave tactics and low-level soul masters, its destructive power is even more terrifying than that of a level nine fixed-position soul-guided cannon.

Another devastating weapon in team battles!

This is Qian Lingyun's evaluation.

If you team up Nightmare Douluo and Ten Thousand Souls Douluo and send them behind the White Tiger Duke of the Star Luo Empire, they could probably achieve the Legion Annihilator title in a day!

The old man greeted Qian Lingyun with unusual enthusiasm, showing no airs of an elder whatsoever, which actually made Qian Lingyun feel quite good about the old man.

Indeed, as a rare Soul Master skilled in illusion techniques, Nightmare Douluo's intuition was extremely sharp. He sensed an extremely terrifying aura emanating from Qian Lingyun.

Even the Fifth Elder, who dismembered an 80,000-year-old soul beast in front of him yesterday, is still far inferior to Qian Lingyun.

(①Angel's Scream is comparable to Dou Yiqianrenxue's Angel's Roar; their skill attributes are similar.)

② The ability to share mental detection is possessed by Tang San, Poseidon, Bibi Dong, and an unknown titled Douluo with mental attributes. This suggests that once one's mental power is sufficient, or reaches level 99, they will all possess this ability!

Original text: Therefore, Bibi Dong kept her eyes fixed on Tang San's movements. Although Tang San was well concealed under the cover of the Soul Master Legion, she still managed to discover him. Among the Title Douluos around Bibi Dong, one possessed a peculiar skill: the ability to connect one's spiritual power with that of others. Bibi Dong's spiritual power alone was insufficient to detect Tang San, but with deliberate attention and the combined spiritual power of another Title Douluo, she narrowed down the search area and still managed to find Tang San's location.
