Douluo Dalu: Seven Kills

Chapter 206 Demon Emperor, Ruined Temple

night.

In a small woods, the refreshing evening breeze blew the leaves, leaving behind a patchwork of swaying shadows of trees under the moonlight.

"Why did I faint like this?" Gu Tianchen woke up from his coma. He covered his head subconsciously, and almost as soon as he reacted, he suddenly sat up and looked around.

But what caught my eye was a bonfire. Under the burning flames, small sparks burst out in the burning, and a series of "crackling" sounds were particularly obvious in the quiet night.

And by the fire, besides himself who had just fainted, there was only Chen Junting who was fiddling with the fire out of boredom.

"Lao Gu, you're awake."

Chen Junting was not too surprised. It seemed that he had expected Gu Tianchen to wake up at this time.

"Where are we?"

After silently glancing at the surroundings, Gu Tianchen almost understood that they were no longer in the secret place where they were previously, and even the plain where the Giant Sword Mountain was located was definitely not there.

"Where? Perhaps a small forest on the border of some empire."

"Maybe?"

Gu Tianchen was surprised, so Chen Junting waved his hand and responded, "Because I don't know exactly where this place is. You should understand that I can't carry an unconscious guy around in this deserted place. Anyway, you are just fainted, not injured. So when you wake up, let's find out where this place is."

Gu Tianchen didn't care about this. But what puzzled him was... "Then how did we get here from the secret realm?"

"That's hard to say."

Chen Junting didn't even blink when answering this question. "Perhaps because we all fainted, the god who set up that secret place kicked us out?"

"That's a really lame excuse."

Gu Tianchen couldn't help but roll his eyes, unable to complain. But the only one who responded was Chen Junting who shrugged his shoulders and a sweet potato he pulled out of the fire.

Looking at Gu Tianchen, who took the sweet potato and started to eat it without any manner at all, Chen Junting shook his head secretly.

In fact, he really didn't know where they were.

After all, when the Undead Demiplane swallowed up the Secret Realm, they were no longer in Giant Sword Mountain. So when they came out of the Demiplane, they came to this small forest.

……

Under the dark night, the sea seemed unusually quiet.

A soul-guided ship belonging to the Sun-Moon Empire was sailing on the rough sea. The bright lights were like a dazzling lighthouse in the dark sea, extremely conspicuous.

"Lin boy! What's the sea condition like!?"

"Captain, everything is calm at the moment!"

The crew member responsible for monitoring the sea conditions took a soul-guided telescope and carefully observed the changes in the sea surface. After all, the sea changes rapidly, and a simple change may cause the ship to capsize, causing all the crew members to be buried in the sea.

But at this moment, the alarm on the ship suddenly sounded!
In the monitoring soul guide radar screen in the captain's room, a giant squid was seen attacking them from the sea below the ship, and according to the monitoring of the soul guide radar, the giant squid had been cultivating for 100,000 years!

"captain!"

The deputy captain was immediately shocked!
Their captain, who has the highest cultivation level on the entire ship, is only at the Soul Saint level! Facing the attack of a 100,000-year-old sea soul beast, they have no ability to resist!
"Don't panic! Calm down!"

Although the captain looked flustered, he was much better than the other crew members. With his rich sailing experience, he knew that natural disasters were inevitable when sailing on the sea, but man-made disasters could always be changed. Therefore, if you want to sail on the sea, you must have strong strength or deterrence, so that you may be able to get rid of the crisis of man-made disasters.

Therefore, the captain who had been sailing for many years had already spent most of his savings from the first half of his life to buy a trump card for going to sea.

"Quick! There is an eighth-level fixed-type soul-guided cannonball installed on the bottom of the ship. Aim at this 100,000-year-old giant squid and fire it!"

"Yes!"

As soon as the command was given, the bottom of the ship opened immediately.

Along with the influx of seawater, an ordinary soul-guided cannonball that could pose a life-threatening threat to an average Titled Douluo was also aimed at the sea soul beast that was attacking the ship.

The next second, "Boom——"

The huge waves even pushed the boat out. The eighth-level fixed-type soul-guided cannonballs exuded a terrifying power, threatening the life of the giant squid!

"boom--"

A violent shock suddenly came from under their feet, accompanied by a violent explosion that temporarily deafened everyone on the boat, and threw their bodies and the soul-guided ship into the air.

When the ship landed again, the captain hurriedly asked the crew to monitor the radar to see what happened to the 100,000-year-old giant squid. However, in the next second... "Beep, beep, beep--" an alarm sounded much more urgent than before, and the monitoring personnel saw on the radar that the energy signs of the giant squid that had just existed suddenly disappeared, and were replaced by a larger energy fluctuation.

Before they could react, a shock far greater than the previous one came from the bottom of the sea. The steel ship was not only blown away again, but also turned into pieces under the violent impact.

The seawater was churning violently, and beneath the raging waves, a thick water column with a diameter of 15 meters shot up into the sky! Along with the distortion of the surrounding air and the burial of all humans at the bottom of the sea, a huge body the size of an island slowly emerged from underwater. All the surrounding seawater was covered with a thick layer of dark purple light, as if the sea had turned into hell.

The night sky, which was originally quite calm, was now filled with dark clouds, with thunder roaring continuously. It was dark and dull, giving people a feeling that the sky was about to fall and the end of the world was approaching.

At the same time, a huge body emerged from the sea. It was dark purple all over, and the cold light in its eyes showed its indifference to life. It moved slightly, and a huge tail rose from behind, with a twisted dark purple glow, and slapped heavily on the sea surface.

At this moment, the sea water continued to roll, forming a huge vortex, like a black hole that swallowed everything. Its big mouth opened below the vortex, and no matter whether it was a thousand-year soul beast or a ten-thousand-year soul beast, all the life in this sea area was swallowed up.

“This is too slow.”

It spoke in human language, and a female voice full of resentment echoed in the air, "I have devoured nearly a hundred sea soul beasts in the sea, and I still find it difficult to take that step. When can I take revenge on the Sea God!"

At this moment, its identity is clear.

It is the Queen of Deep Sea Demon Whales, the Demon Emperor!
“I hope that cooperation with those humans and them will allow me to move forward smoothly. However…” The Demon King’s eyes flashed with a hint of fear, “I can’t rely entirely on them. If I want to become a god, perhaps I can look for other gods to start with. For example…”

Suddenly, a thought flashed through the Demon Emperor's mind.

"Haha - yes, it wasn't just the Sea God who became a god back then. If I remember correctly, two gods fell back then."

Thinking of this, the body of the deep-sea demon whale of the Demon King transformed into a woman in a dark purple dress. She flew out of the sea, stepped on the void, and the terrifying soul power fluctuations emitted directly stirred up the dead silent sea area.

"Let's go find those humans and ask them where those two gods came from. Once we find their bodies, I will devour them completely! Even if it's just a chance!"

“Hahahaha——Seagod Tang San!”

Suppressing his crazy words, the Demon Emperor disappeared in the sea in a flash and rushed towards the Sun and Moon Continent!

……

More than three months later.

"I didn't expect that we would get this far."

Looking at the Giant Sword Mountain not far away, Gu Tianchen's tone was full of emotion. God knows how shocked he was when he came out of the grove and learned that they were almost in the center of the Douling Empire. You know, this journey spanned half of the original Douluo Continent!
But since they were going to travel anyway, it didn't matter. But because Chen Junting had already planned a travel plan, he included the ruins of the former Wuhun Hall, which was located at the junction of the Tianhun Empire and the Xingluo Empire, so they could only turn around and return to the border between the two countries.

As for why it took three months...

Of course, Chen Junting stopped and walked along the way, feeling the terrain of the mountains and rivers, and also relying on nature to create swordsmanship.

It seems that we have gained something in these three months.

"Okay, let's go."

Chen Junting looked around and roughly locked the direction. "There won't be anything interesting to experience along the way, so I'll just rely on my flying sword to get there."

"it is good."

Naturally, Gu Tianchen had no reason to refuse.

The next second, two flying swords took off into the air!

After aiming in the direction of Wuhun City, it disappeared into the sky.

In just one stick of incense, Wuhun City came into view.

Ten thousand years ago, the gods fell and the Wuhun Empire was destroyed. Naturally, Wuhun City was also conquered by the two major empires at that time.

Since Tang San was from the Tiandou Empire and was the teacher of the Tiandou Emperor at that time, the Xingluo Empire voluntarily gave up the fight for Wuhun City. After that, the Tiandou Empire split, and Wuhun City was also divided under the rule of the Tianhun Empire.

As for the Spirit Hall and Elder Hall in the Spirit City...the Spirit Empire was destroyed, and naturally these two halls were completely destroyed. Only the Worship Hall survived to this day because all the Titled Douluo of all generations were conferred titles there and buried there.

But even so...

“Is this the worship hall from ten thousand years ago?”

Gu Tianchen glanced at the building in front of him with a complicated look.

Perhaps due to some taboo, the Hall of Worship has never been repaired and few people come here. As a result, after thousands of years, the Hall of Worship has become a ruin with broken walls and overgrown weeds.
