Douluo Dalu: Seven Kills

Chapter 648 A desperate gamble, all or nothing; The opening of the Demon Gate! (Part 2)

"Discovered."

The Demon Queen opened her eyes with a grim expression.

Upon sensing that the grand formation had been triggered, she severed the connection without the slightest hesitation, even if there was only the slightest sign of something amiss.

Over the years, she had become accustomed to being cautious, especially fearing that she might fail at this final moment. There was no other way but to abandon the remaining advancement materials in Lingdou City.

"How about it?"

Just then, Zhongli Wu, who had sensed the sudden silence inside the room, pushed open the door and entered. Seeing the Demon Queen's grim expression, he knew that things were not going well.

"Failed?"

"I cut it off on my own initiative."

The Demon Queen succinctly explained the situation, immediately making Zhongli Wu's expression turn ugly.

[Only a few years have passed? How come another powerful being like Di Tian has appeared in this world?]

Given that they could kill Ye Xishui instantly and detect their methods so quickly, this judgment is not surprising.

Zhongli Wu's brain was racing, his entire expression constantly shifting, like a changing face. This caused the Demon Queen to pause. Only after his expression gradually stabilized did she speak, asking, "What should we do next? That was a human. According to my deduction, someone who is only half a step away from becoming a god is very likely to gain the favor of the gods and possibly become a god. When that happens, he will definitely wipe out the entire realm. We don't have time."

Who do you think is to blame for this?!

Zhongliwu was filled with resentment!
He had long believed that this matter couldn't be rushed, but after you talked to the Holy Emperor, he listened to your "slander" and "bewitchment" and became impatient for quick success.

Otherwise, we can proceed gradually.

Noticing the change in Zhongliwu's eyes, the familiar feeling immediately made the Demon Queen understand what he was thinking. It was nothing more than the same thoughts she had when the war was about to end.

then,

The Demon Queen shut him down with a single sentence.

"This is the will of your Holy Emperor."

Damn it! It's this again!

Suppressing his murderous intent, "Zhongliwu" forced himself to calm down. Now that things had come to this, he could only try to salvage the situation.

He looked at the Demon Queen, "How much longer will it take you to break through?"

After a moment's thought, the Demon Queen said, "Let's have another war."

"Well!"

Upon hearing this, Zhongliwu's eyes hardened!

Now, there's no turning back; we can only grit our teeth and move forward. "I will have five evil soul masters who have broken through to the Title Douluo level use the seeds within them to bypass the restrictions of the Douluo Continent plane, allowing my demon plane army to arrive and massacre the Douling Empire. You will use this opportunity to successfully break through, and then allow the power of the Holy Emperor to descend smoothly."

"Remember, you only have one chance! Once the gods of the God Realm turn their attention to us, our plane will sever all ties, completely abandon the Douluo Plane, and flee into the starry sky."

At that moment, he was like a gambler who had made a desperate gamble.

It has a kind of "all-in" wisdom.

"it is good!"

The Demon Queen readily agreed.

After all, she had no other choice.

As for whether it will succeed...

As I said, this is a gamble between life and death.

But she felt it was worth it to avenge her husband!

After giving the Demon Queen a deep look, "Zhongliwu" simply left the words "The operation will begin in three days" and then departed.

After Zhongli Wu left the Demon Queen's room, he immediately contacted the Holy Emperor, informing him of the current situation in the Douluo Plane and his own plans, awaiting the Holy Emperor's judgment.

It wasn't until much later that the Holy Emperor replied.

"Then let's do it this way. The timid will starve, and the bold will thrive. We've done so much, we can't go unrewarded. When the time comes, I'll also send the demon lords to assist you."

"Although we in the Demon Realm covet the life energy of the Douluo Realm and yearn for our own world to advance, it is better to live than to be destroyed. So if it really comes to that, we will have to give up. As long as we are fast enough, the Douluo God Realm will not be able to find us from a great distance."

Having said that, the Holy Emperor's will once again fell silent.

"Yes, Your Majesty." Zhongli Wu replied respectfully before personally heading to the residences of the Soul Masters.

Since their identities were exposed, all the Soul Masters they trained have been manipulated and turned into evil Soul Masters.

Next, "Zhongli Wu" arranged for five Title Douluo-level evil soul masters to go to five relatively remote areas of the Douling Empire to activate the demonic seeds within them and open dimensional gates. The other evil soul masters went to populated cities to create chaos.

As for why the Douling Empire was chosen…

Firstly, the Douling Empire repeatedly took advantage of the chaos, seemingly intending to cut itself off from the Douluo Continent. Secondly, at that time, only the majority of the Soul Masters in Lingdou City were corrupted; a small number were not in Douling City and had not been corrupted. Therefore, including them, the Douling Empire could still cause considerable chaos, thus attracting attention away from the main conflict.

Thus, undercurrents began to surge beneath the surface of the Douling Empire.

Just over a day later, chaos erupted throughout the Douling Empire. Many cities sent messages to Lingdou City, reporting that some Soul Masters had suddenly transformed into Evil Soul Masters and were wreaking havoc within their cities. Moreover, these mutated Soul Masters included many powerful individuals, and even the army was affected, urgently needing assistance from the capital.

The constant stream of memorials to the emperor quickly put Xuefeng in a state of utter chaos.

Why didn't they stir up chaos in other empires, like Tianhun or Xingluo? Why did they have to choose their Douling Empire?
These damn guys!
News of the Douling Empire also reached the ears of the Tianhun Empire and the Xingluo Empire. Although they were bound by the previous agreement to crack down on the evil soul masters within the Douling Empire's territory, this did not stop them from slacking off and making a great deal of mockery.

For example, a short sect leader whose name has never been revealed:

"Hahaha—they deserve it! Good riddance!"

However, a statement issued soon by Shrek Academy in conjunction with the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School made everyone take it very seriously. It turned out that right after the demonization in Lingdou City was completely resolved, Chen Junting quickly returned to the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School, while Yan Shaozhe and Bei Bei also returned to Shrek Academy and immediately informed the forces behind them of Chen Junting's speculation.

Within half a day, the two major powers reached an agreement and began discussions on the matter. This time, only Shrek Academy and the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School held a closed-door meeting.

Because many elders of the Self-Body Sect have perished, and the Mingde Hall has been defeated and looted by various forces, both major powers have fallen out of the top tier. Currently, only Shrek Academy and the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School remain in a class of their own across the entire continent.

After listening to Chen Junting and Yan Shaozhe's accounts, especially Chen Junting's confident answer about the invasion from another dimension, no one dared to take it lightly.

Unexpectedly, before they could even utter a word, the Douling Empire descended into chaos. And the reason for this chaos was none other than "demonic transformation."

Therefore, the two major forces dared not delay and quickly issued statements.

……

In the depths of a mountain range in the Douling Empire, "Zhongli Wu" was leading a Title Douluo-level evil soul master.

Only after his mental energy swept across the entire mountain range and he obtained a satisfactory answer did he speak to the evil spirit master.

"let's start."

As soon as he finished speaking, a powerful surge of energy began to spread throughout the evil spirit master's body, causing him to tremble slightly. A dense, dark power, almost tangible, entered his body, reshaping his entire being.

A cold and insane thought began to rapidly penetrate his mind, accompanied by intense feelings of bloodshed, killing, fear, madness, and all sorts of negative emotions.

Suddenly, his dark purple eyes lit up, and as an aura of death emanated from him, all his spirit rings turned purplish-black, and two bulging lumps of flesh appeared on his shoulders.

The next second, "Bang—", "Bang—"

Like the sound of flesh exploding, two heads that resembled neither wolves nor dogs emerged from it! Accompanied by continuous howls and barks, a pair of long, curved horns also emerged from the head of the evil spirit master, filled with a rich dark element.

"Roar--"

A deep roar rose from his throat, accompanied by flashes of purplish-black light that slightly distorted the space around him.

Faced with this scene, "Zhongliwu" simply watched quietly.

This is the power of their demonic dimension constantly being injected into his body, causing his strength to increase rapidly at a rocket-like speed, so that the activated demonic seed can fully grow.

When the time is right,
"Darkness will eventually descend, and only through depravity can one achieve freedom."

A deep voice came from his mouth, accompanied by a series of eerie sounds and purple magic runes.

His ninth spirit ring suddenly lit up, and a huge purplish-black magic circle instantly rose up. And amidst the chanting of incantations, a huge purplish-black light gate slowly appeared.

Ninth Soul Skill: Demon Passage!

This portal of light leads to the Demon Dimension!

Under the operation of the Evil Soul Master's ninth soul skill, the light gate gradually solidified and slowly expanded, turning into a huge light gate that was twenty meters high and fifteen meters wide in the blink of an eye.

At this moment, the space around the portal began to distort violently, as if the power of the plane was instinctively repelling the force from another world. However, this repulsion was completely neutralized by the purple light that kept surging from around the portal.

A halo of light emanated around the portal. Zhongli Wu gazed into the portal, his eyes filled with anticipation. Until…

"Move forth, Demon Legion!"

"Roar!"

Influenced by the sound, the evil spirit master who opened the portal roared to the sky. As if activating his true martial spirit form, his body began to swell, and in an instant, he transformed into a three-headed demon ten meters tall, but with the same physique as before.

At that moment, the light gate shone brightly, and after a brief moment of illusion, it extended two more light gates to each side.

Then it kept increasing until there were nine light gates before it stopped, and low roars kept pouring out from inside the gates.

"Come, my demon army!"

One after another, massive, lion-like hellhounds charged out, leading the way. They were extremely ferocious, with heads even larger than their entire bodies. Beneath their enormous mouths were teeth like sharp blades, gleaming with a chilling light; to exaggerate, they looked as if they could crush the world.

In just a short while, thousands of them emerged.

Immediately following were enormous demons.

They have four arms, are about 2.5 meters tall, and their muscles are bulging and covered in scales, giving them the strength to lift mountains. Their purplish-black skin is like a demon's mark, and as for some having one eye, others two... they are simply bizarrely born.

"Whoosh-"

Suddenly, streaks of black light shot out from the portal, streaking across the sky with a series of whooshing sounds as they broke through the air currents. These were the aerial troops of a monster with human bodies but wings three times the size of its body. These were the Flying Demons, the aerial units of the Demon Realm. Not only were they fast and adept at team combat, but they could also spew corrosive venom.

In no time, with thousands of flying demons surging forth, the demon army had grown to over ten thousand. At this moment, the nine gates of light began to become somewhat unstable.

Clearly, the instinctive repulsion between different planes is more intense.

These illegal immigrants are outrageous!

Just then, nine enormous figures appeared within the portal. As soon as they appeared, they used their arms to support the portal, their entire bodies radiating a brilliant purple-gold light that poured into it, stabilizing the portal once again.

The Great Demons are the true powerhouses of the Demon Realm. Each one is over ten meters tall, with enormous wings on their backs, long, curved horns on their heads, a ferocious appearance, and an aura of darkness.

Obviously,

They can suppress the instincts of the Douluo Continent.

This unleashed an even greater surge of demonic creatures. There were small, pure white demons; there were goat-like demons, entirely black, riding on flames… a diverse array, giving this army both support and… and more…

When the demon army was basically formed, a deafening roar resounded, and the nine demon gates suddenly merged into a huge gate of light, from which a terrifying being with a tall figure stepped out!
He was over thirty meters tall, covered in purple-gold scales, with a pair of three-meter-long horns on his head. He looked very much like a human, with a pair of huge wings formed from purple flames on his back and a purple-gold flaming greatsword in his hand. As soon as he appeared, the surrounding space distorted violently, as if the power of the plane was frantically repelling him.

"Roar--"

With a wild roar to the sky, the enormous demon burst into laughter, a laugh that was enough to terrify the soul.

"I, the Demon Lord Alba, have finally arrived in this world teeming with life. My people, let us slaughter and devour! Let us become stronger!"
