Douluo Dalu: Seven Kills

Chapter 652 The Demon Queen Becomes a God! (Two Chapters Combined)

The battlefield to the north was now littered with corpses.

The fate of the demon legion is well-known. Even the nine great demons were divided up on the battlefield by the offerings of the Heavenly Soul Empire, with three of them being ganged up on by all the offerings of the Heavenly Soul Empire.

Finally, at the cost of losing a high-ranking official in the Heavenly Soul Empire, the three separated great demons were completely slain.

As for the other six great demons, they were smashed into a pile of minced meat by the Poison Undying, and were beyond dead.

Now, only Wu Jie is left on the northern battlefield.

"boom--"

As Xiong Jun was repelled by Wu Li, Du Busi unleashed his mountain-like fist, colliding with Wu Li's dark halberd. Demonic lightning raged, causing the surrounding space to distort violently. Wu Li's body, under the combined attack or gauntlet of Xiong Jun and Du Busi, was already trembling with exhaustion.

During this time, Poison Undying and Bear King were also suffering. The dark energy accompanying each of Black Boil's attacks was extremely dense, full of corrosiveness and penetrability, causing their bodies to erupt with continuous dark auras, with Poison Undying feeling the most.

At this moment, Poison Undying and Black Boil temporarily separated during another collision, and Black Boil found an opportunity. Its bat wings suddenly spread open, and it transformed into a bolt of lightning, trying to escape!
This demon lord, who had long sought an opportunity to escape, knew very well that things couldn't continue like this. Facing a combined force of someone with the power of a Limit Douluo and a true Limit Douluo, coupled with the repulsion of the dimensional barrier, the upcoming battle would become increasingly unfavorable for him. If he didn't escape, he would die sooner or later.

So, the moment Xiong Jun was repelled and Poison Undying was blasted away, he, who was prepared, immediately transformed into lightning and tried to escape. There was no other way; now that the evil spirit master who opened the Demon Gate was dead, he had to find other demons to join him.

"Trying to leave? Where do you think you're going!"

No sooner had Poison Undying finished speaking than the Venerable below, who had already set up a level-nine fixed-position soul-guided cannon and was waiting for an opportunity to help, fired a cannonball. The speed was so fast that there was no way to avoid it.

"boom--"

The moment it exploded, Wu Jie felt as if his body, which had transformed into lightning, was about to be torn apart. Heat waves exceeding his own demonic lightning surged from all directions, and even the surrounding energy was compressed at this moment, forcing him to reappear.

But as soon as he appeared, he was met with a barrage of dark green fist shadows, like a meteor shower.

Enraged, Wu Jie quickly turned around, his body surging with streaks of purplish-black lightning, which shot straight towards Du Busi.

But just as the poison failed to kill him, "Buzz—"

Heaven and earth seemed to be wailing, the void seemed to be torn apart, the atmosphere was shattered, and the only thing that filled the sky, besides the boundless void that had been torn apart, was a giant, dark golden claw!
"Roar--"

Sky tearing claw!
After being repelled by Wu Jing, Xiong Jun had been conserving his strength. Only now has he unleashed his full power!
Wu Jie was terrified and used his dark halberd to block the attack.

"Chong-"

The collision of the dinosaur claw and the halberd produced a deafening roar. Interspersed within this was a barely perceptible mournful cry.

Just as Wu Li was distracted, two level-nine fixed-position soul-guided cannon shells, trailing flames, hurtled towards his flanks. At the same time, Du Busi appeared behind him unnoticed, his ninth 100,000-year soul ring flashing!

"Boom—" x3
Three loud explosions followed, "Crack—"

A cracking sound followed.

The Dark Halberd was cleaved into several pieces by Xiong Jun's Sky-Tearing Claw, while Wu Jun was smashed into the center of the giant pit. The large horn on his head, symbolizing the Demon Lord, was broken off, and his wings had disappeared without a trace. The wound on his back revealed the white bone, most of the scales covering his body were broken, and purple-gold blood was oozing from his entire body. His aura was extremely weak.

Now, only a crumbling, purplish-black energy shield remained, his last vestige of dignity. But as a colossal figure enveloped him, profound despair followed.

"I…"

With a terrified voice, Wu Jie clearly wanted to beg for mercy.

But he had barely opened his mouth when...
"What are you babbling about? Die!"

"Shh-"

The shield shattered instantly with each rise and fall of the Dark Gold Terror Claw.

Along with it came the enormous head of the black boil.

Meanwhile, on the eastern battlefield, a dark sword aura, seemingly appearing from nowhere, pierced through the void, severely injuring the still rampaging Balkan from afar. Then, a gigantic Taotie appeared out of nowhere, swallowing him whole, sealing and suppressing him.

Rejax of the West was surrounded by an invisible void, and then a series of void gates opened to encircle him. The next second, a sword aura that looked like a galaxy of stars pierced out from the void gate, turning him into a sieve in less than half a moment.

As for the demon legion and the nine great demons, they were directly confronted by Ice Bear King Xiaobai, Huo Yuhao, and Wu Feng, and died in one-on-one battles.

Perhaps, apart from the battlefield at Chenjun Pavilion in the Chinese region, the area under the jurisdiction of the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School was the one where the extermination was completed the fastest.

Now, only the South remains.

With the help of the three ferocious beasts, the Sea Dragon Douluo, and the few remaining retainers of the Star Luo Empire, they were initially able to barely hold off the combined attack of the nine great demons.

But as time went on, even with Brigitte's healing, one Star Luo Guardian after another fell. Now, only one person remains, making the entire situation extremely precarious.

Even Kong Deming was only holding on to the Demon Lord Jie Kai. To be precise, he could only passively defend himself.

When will the reinforcements arrive?!

At this moment, Jie Kai swung his giant hammer, and the blow, like a falling meteor, came crashing down again! However, as Kong Deming held the Silver Moon Divine Light Shield, a burst of intense silver light suddenly bloomed, and a silver moon suddenly rose into the air, making the light shield and the silver moon shine together, forcefully stopping Jie Kai's fierce attack.

"asshole!"

Seeing that his attack had been blocked again, Jie Kai was furious!
That's it again!

It was once again dismantled by this mysterious thing using spatial power!

And then I've dragged myself here!
"What kind of skill is it to hide in this turtle shell?!"

Kong Deming remained silent, only waving his hand, causing the Silver Moon Divine Light to cover an even larger area as it enveloped Jiekai, sealing off the entire region and creating a large-scale spatial blockade.

All he had to do was wait for reinforcements.

Anyway, it was agreed from the beginning that their battlefield was the weakest point, and all they could do was "delay"!
However, just as Kong Deming was completing the large-scale spatial blockade and Jie Kai was trying to break through it, suddenly, the two of them, along with Brigitte and the nine great demons, all looked in one direction as if sensing something.

But before they could see clearly, "Buzz—"

A sword's cry rang in their ears, and at the same time...
"Click——"

"what--"

As the space sealed by the Silver Moon Divine Light Shield shattered, a shrill scream followed from Jie Kai's mouth.

When Kong Deming and the others looked over, they saw that half of Jie Kai's head had been cut off at some point, and he looked extremely miserable.

Meanwhile, in the sky above, Chen Junting appeared out of nowhere. Clearly, the sword strike just now was his doing.

While Jie Kai was still in a state of confusion and terror, in less than the blink of an eye, Chen Junting was already in front of him. Through his blurred vision, he vaguely saw Chen Junting's hand reaching for him, but he couldn't move. Then, "Swish swish swish—"

While holding the unconscious Jie Kai in one hand, Chen Junting unleashed nine more sword strikes, causing the nine great demons to fall to the ground.

"Is this solved?"

Kong Deming's pupils trembled as he watched them fight to the death, while Chen Junting easily ended it all upon his arrival. He felt a sense of "unprecedented disbelief".

"The end? Not a long way off."

After freezing and sealing Jie Kai using the same method, Chen Junting casually waved his hand, tearing open a spatial rift and throwing him into it. Only after doing all this did he look at Kong Deming.

"You haven't forgotten what I told you, have you?"

Recalling Chen Junting's nighttime intrusion into the Hall of Offerings yesterday, and the subsequent discussions he and Meng Hongchen had made overnight, Kong Deming shook his head. This time, their Sun Moon Empire absolutely could not afford to miss anything.

"No."

"Then you should know that this is just the appetizer."

With that, Chen Junting shifted his gaze, "You should go back to the Sun Moon Empire and continue your preparations. It won't be long before we have to launch a world war to counterattack the Demon Plane."

Regardless of what Kong Deming was thinking, Chen Junting, seeing that Bi Ji and the others were alright and had even healed the living Star Luo Empire's offerings, tore open a space to send them on their way.

Of course, Kong Deming will not be left out either.

After they all left, Chen Junting also began to examine the array patterns in this area and destroyed them using the same method.

Once he confirmed that the array patterns here could no longer absorb his energy, Chen Junting turned and left, heading to the other three battlefields. After confirming that their battles were over, he used the same method to send away the remaining Soul Masters, and then repeated the process in their areas.

Although he has confirmed that the vast majority of the vengeful spirits, blood, negative energy, and even the dark energy from the deaths of the demon legion have been extracted, and from the perspective of balancing both quantity and quality, this is essentially equivalent to a blood sacrifice... The energy of about one and a half Sun Moon Empires is enough to support the Demon Queen in completing the final step of reaching level 100.

But by doing this, he at least deprived the Demon Queen of one more trick up her sleeve.

"I wonder when she broke through. And..."

Standing on this blood-soaked ruin, Chen Junting thought, "This time, we can't let them choose the battlefield. We must take the initiative."

Suddenly, his thoughts paused.

It seems there are more than two continents in the entire Douluo Continent.

In this case…

Just do it!

Given Lao Gu's current level of expertise, he could probably achieve that.

However, before that, it might not be safe for him to fight a god-level opponent alone. He needs to find a way to strengthen his foundation.

With that thought in mind, Chen Junting disappeared from the spot.

……

In a deep abyss where all senses were blocked, dried blood filled the entire great formation!

Zhongliwu stood guard to the side with a grim expression, while the Demon Queen sat in the center of the formation, constantly absorbing power.

Suddenly, the operation of the great formation came to an abrupt halt.

This pause caused Zhongliwu's expression to change drastically. "Not only were they all wiped out, but even the great formation was discovered!?"

As a being from the Demon Realm, Zhongli Wu naturally had connections with the five Demon Lords. However, as he guarded this place and the five Demon Lords lost contact one by one, he realized the situation was dire. When he saw that in addition to human souls, demon souls were also being transmitted into the Blood River God-Slaying Array, that sense of foreboding became a reality.

Even so, "Zhongliwu" remained unmoved.

As long as the Demon Queen becomes a god and takes the opportunity to plunder life energy for the demon plane, then all their sacrifices will be worthwhile!

Only ten million people are needed.

A sacrifice of millions of lives and blood will suffice!
In this way, the Blood River God-Slaying Array can meet the prerequisites. Moreover, the more people or demons die, and the stronger they are, the more the Demon Queen can use those souls, blood, and energy to strengthen herself until the array can no longer withstand it. Then, the Demon Queen, as the mastermind of the array, can successfully become a god!
This is a method developed by His Majesty the Holy Emperor.

There's absolutely no mistake!
So what's making Zhongliwu anxious now is whether the quantity is enough. He hadn't calculated it carefully while he was watching. But if the quantity isn't enough, then everything will be for nothing!

However, in the end, Zhongliwu's prayer seemed to have an effect. The Demon Queen suddenly opened her eyes, then slowly raised her hands from her sides, which were covered with dark purple demonic patterns, and a dazzling dark purple light shone from her hands.

This scene delighted Zhongliwu!
"Success!"

At this moment, the Demon Queen seemed to fall into some strange state. Without the slightest hesitation, she murmured, "Borrow the power of heaven to seal the firmament. Borrow the power of earth to connect with destruction."

A deep, resonant voice slowly rose, each word distinct. As she chanted, the massive magic circle beneath her feet, centered on the altar, rapidly expanded outwards, transforming into a vast expanse of dark purple light. The entire abyss seemed to come alive, the mournful cries of countless vengeful spirits echoing mournfully throughout the earth.

"Rumble—" The earth began to rumble.

The altar beneath the Demon Queen's feet lit up with rings of light, which gradually merged, forming concentric halos. The area above the abyss suddenly darkened, and then a dark purple pillar of light shot skyward!

At the same time, a demonic pattern suddenly lit up, empowering the Demon Queen and protecting her.

After all, the Blood River God-Slaying Array is not easy to complete. Even if it is completed, countless crises will arise during its formation due to the influence of divine punishment. Only with the protection of numerous powerful figures can it truly succeed.

And currently there are no powerful figures...

Of course, "Zhongliwu" is one of them.

But not enough.

Therefore, only the power of the Holy Emperor can descend across dimensions through demonic patterns to make up for this condition.

"Success!"

Upon seeing this, "Zhongliwu" was overjoyed!
In this way, the spirits of the planes and the divine realm can be deceived, and their planes can act as the predator, devouring life energy on a large scale!

However, what Zhongliwu didn't know was that the gods had been watching closely even before their actions began, and now no matter what they did, they couldn't deceive the gods' eyes.

At this moment, the gods... no!

To be precise, it should be that all the powerful figures of the various forces in the Douluo plane have made a decision to use themselves as bait to catch the big fish that came to their door from the Demon plane.
