Douluo Dalu: Seven Kills

Chapter 657 The Holy Emperor Falls into a Trap; The Emergence of Faith and Tang San's Questioning (Part 2)

"Don't push your luck!"

Under the relentless pursuit and encirclement of Chen Junting and the other two, the frantically fleeing Holy Emperor could no longer suppress his anger!

But a roar was met with a sword flying through the air!
"boom--"

After dodging, the sword energy almost grazed the body as it slashed down. The sword energy that landed in empty space struck the sea directly, instantly splitting the surging ocean in two, turning it into two huge tsunamis that spread out to the sides, leaving the seabed completely exposed.

"This is outrageous!?"

Having already broken free of the "Sword God Selflessness" state, Chen Junting said he had never heard such shameless remarks before. He sneered and shouted angrily, "Your Demon Realm is single-mindedly trying to steal the life energy of our Douluo Realm and has been causing chaos among the creatures of the continent. It's a fight to the death, so how can you say you're going too far?!"

Without a second thought, the Holy Emperor vehemently denied it.

"I've already said, I'm not some kind of Holy Emperor!"

Chen Junting couldn't be bothered to pay any attention to such nonsense.

Now that the Demon Queen's body is severely injured, how could he possibly give up, given his belief in "taking advantage of your weakness to kill you"?

Thus, Chen Junting's ninth soul ring lit up.

The murderous aura and malevolent energy that filled the Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation transformed into a half-demon shadow at this moment, while the primordial energy between heaven and earth, the incomparably pure sword energy, and the scattered white light converged into a half-divine shadow that corresponded to the demon shadow.

The instant the demonic shadow and the divine shadow merged,

"Chong-"

A giant sword sweeps across the sky, slaying both gods and demons!
Just as the Holy Emperor was about to continue dodging, "Boom—"

Beneath the deep, still sea, violent waves suddenly surged. The next second, dozens of sharp protrusions ripped through the surface, and stark white bones formed cages, sealing off the space.

When the Holy Emperor was forced to retaliate,
"Om-"

The Bone Prison makes way, and the divine and demonic slashes descend!
"boom--"

A large amount of seawater was evaporated by energy in an instant, and a huge crater, shaped like a large bowl, appeared in the original location of the Bone Prison. However, due to the spatial blockade, seawater could not flow in to fill it.

However, none of the three, including Chen Junting, looked relaxed.

"Old Chen, something's not right."

"I know."

The words had barely left his mouth when, "Whoosh—"

A thick beam of light suddenly erupted from the sea pit, easily breaking through the spatial barrier and heading straight for the three. Its terrifying power instantly changed the color of the heavens and earth.

Without a doubt, this was no longer a blow at the level of a high priest.

"He's serious!"

"Roar--"

Gu Tianchen immediately activated his ninth soul skill, and a huge bone dragon soared into the sky behind him, shouting, "Ninth Soul Skill - Dragon Coiling in the Nine Heavens!"

A burst of dark golden light instantly enveloped the bone dragon. As it coiled in the sky, a shield-like dragon appeared in front of the three as its wings came together.

"boom--"

The moment the beam of light struck the coiled dragon, the surrounding atmosphere turned into a vacuum, and space itself shattered. Even so, thanks to the special effect of the "Dragon Coiling in the Nine Heavens" soul skill, this attack, even though its power surpassed that of a divine official, was blocked.

At that moment, "Boom boom boom—"

A series of powerful gusts of wind arose, and within the sea pit, a colossal figure emerged. Standing three meters tall, its appearance bore no resemblance to the Demon Queen, but rather that of a demon.

The moment Chen Junting saw his face clearly, his divine sense locked onto him. "What? The mighty Holy Emperor is no longer hiding?"

"You are courting death!"

Even a clay figure has some fire within it, let alone the ruler of a plane. No matter how careful he is, he is still a god-level powerhouse!
Realizing that the Demon Queen was truly inescapable and that all his painstaking efforts and immense sacrifices would be in vain, coupled with the absence of the successor who could directly communicate with the Sea God, the Holy Emperor's "cautious" composure completely snapped.

Rather than slinking away, it's better to channel my power and wreak havoc using the Demon Queen's body. The goal is to kill these three before the gods descend, and also to plunder their life energy to make up for the losses. Even if it doesn't amount to much, it's better than nothing.

With the Holy Emperor's complete unleashing of power, the situation was completely reversed. After all, the energy level unleashed by the Holy Emperor was far beyond what the Demon Queen, who had just broken through to godhood, could compare to.

Just when the Holy Emperor thought that his outburst would bring fear to these guys' eyes, he found that the three of them were not panicked at all, but instead remained calm and composed.

even…

It was as if they had been waiting for me all along.

Just then, a shout rang out: "The big fish is in the net! Move it!"

Before he could finish speaking, a tremendous force, completely different from the rules of the Douluo Continent, suddenly descended. The Holy Emperor reacted immediately and tried to escape. As a half-master of the plane, he knew exactly what this force was.

This is clearly another dimension!
He understood that his ability to descend into the body of the Demon Queen and draw upon her energy to unleash power surpassing that of a god was entirely due to the methods he had laid out in the Douluo Continent.

But what if we were in another dimension…

What good are those methods anyway?
However, Chen Junting and his companions, who were well-prepared, would not allow the Holy Emperor to escape. Di Tian's figure suddenly appeared, radiating a golden light and flashing with seven-colored brilliance. He suddenly pierced through layers of void and descended. His dragon claw, filled with the majesty of the Dragon God, was enveloped by a silver dragon phantom. The elemental power of heaven and earth surged, and he struck out horizontally at the Holy Emperor's inevitable retreat route!

"boom--"

This time, the Holy Emperor was hit hard, staggered, and could no longer dodge, and was completely trapped in the small plane.

Upon entering, his entire being was immediately reduced due to the suppression of the plane, dropping from the strength of a third-level god to that of a priest who should have been the Demon Queen.

Moreover, the energy and power of rules emanating from the wound on his back caused by the Dragon God's Claw were like maggots clinging to his bones, difficult to eradicate. But before he could focus too much on the injury caused by the Dragon God's Claw, the power of this small plane descended once more.

Seeing that the situation was not good, the Holy Emperor, adhering to the principle that his life was the most important thing, immediately tried to get rid of the Demon Queen and no longer care about the gains and losses of his own plane. However, he found that his consciousness and soul were directly imprisoned in the Demon Queen's body and he could not leave!
"not good!"

The Holy Emperor was immediately shocked.

"It's really not good."

At this moment, four figures appeared in the small plane. It was Chen Junting who brought Gu Tianchen, Ning Tian, ​​and Di Tian with him.

"You can't leave now."

The four icy gazes chilled the Holy Emperor's heart. But when he saw the small plane radiating life and death energy and endless light, and Ilex descending, clad in a magnificent black robe shimmering with golden runes, draped in a white cloak, and wielding a tricolored staff, the Holy Emperor's heart turned completely cold.

This small plane already has a plane master!

Moreover, he is a priest who is proficient in the way of the soul!

"What do you want?!" The question, which sounded fierce but was actually weak, had barely left his lips when it was uttered.

"Do it!"

Electrolux, who had temporarily taken charge of the minor plane, immediately handed over power to Chen Junting, making him the leader.

Upon seeing this, the three, including Di Tian, ​​immediately withdrew from the main battlefield.

After all, it was all agreed upon at the beginning.

In an instant, a great battle erupted in the smaller planes!
Once the Holy Emperor realized that his soul and consciousness within the Demon Queen's body could not escape, he immediately ignited everything and began to fight Chen Junting to the death!
For a time, the battle raged so fiercely that the sky darkened!
Because of the arrival of the minor dimension, there was a certain overlap in position with the Douluo dimension, which resulted in the scene of the battle between the several people being witnessed by everyone within the area.

Meanwhile, in the far north, the Ice Bear King Xiaobai has returned, found the current ruler of the far north, Titan Snow Demon King, and then summoned all the creatures of the far north.

"What do you want from us?"

Facing this old adversary, the Titan Snow Demon King's voice boomed, but his attitude was much better than before.

"Of course I'm asking for your help."

Ice Bear King Xiaobai said with a serious expression, "Right now, Daddy needs the faith of all living beings in the far north. Although he said it only needs to be temporary, I think that with his help to our far north and the soul beasts, it wouldn't be unreasonable to maintain it for a long time."

"Not too much."

Titan Snow Demon King naturally knew who Little White was referring to as "Big Daddy." Therefore, he didn't hesitate at all in granting Little White's request, "From this day forward, there will be two faiths in the far north. One is the Ice God, and the other is..."

Suddenly, Titan Snow Demon King froze.

"How should I address you?"

"Let's go with the name."

Meanwhile, on the Douluo Continent and the Sun and Moon Continent, in all the soul beast settlements except for the far north and the sea, under Di Tian's order, the Star Dou Great Forest sent out various "representatives," such as ferocious beasts and the Emperor Auspicious Beasts who had finished their seclusion, to meet Chen Junting in the midst of a great battle and begin to recount his contributions to the soul beast race.

Although most of the soul beasts were unaware of the danger, under the pressure released by the powerful beings, they began to instinctively follow their "guidance".

Among the four great empires, the identities of Chen Junting, the creator of soul spirits, the creator of self-condensed soul rings and artificial soul bones, and the founder of array formations, have been revealed one by one by the major powers.

In an instant, all the Soul Masters were in an uproar.

After all, some insiders deduced from the time those things appeared that Chen Junting was only a few years old at the time. As it turned out, at that time, Chen Junting not only had extremely outstanding strength, but also achieved what no one before him had done in research and creation in this field.

As for whether it's true or false...

Can major forces really unite to deceive people?

Even in the ocean, led by Huo Yuhao, the Sea Princess, along with two mermaid princesses and a group of merfolk, arrived at the ruins of the Sea God's family's residence shortly after Chen Junting and the others left. The area was now completely submerged by the vast ocean, with only the Sea God's Temple remaining standing.

The Demon Soul Great White Shark King, Little White, returned from his hunt, leading his remaining clansmen as they wandered aimlessly through the underwater ruins, checking to see if any survivors could be rescued. Sea Dragon Douluo stood numbly beside Wang Dong'er, trying to comfort the remaining members of his clan.

"Look, this is the Sea God family now."

After a long silence, Huo Yuhao finally spoke.

As the sea princess looked at everything before her, under the watchful eyes of all the mermaids around her, images of Poseidon conquering the sea tens of thousands of years ago flashed through her mind.

Has the sea god abandoned his people?

His tone was calm, but Huo Yuhao could hear the sorrow in it.

At this moment, Wang Dong'er flew to the Sea Princess. While revealing her identity as the successor, she stated a fact that was incredibly cruel to the Sea Princess and her companions.

"Here lies the test given to me by the sea god." With just one sentence, everyone felt a sense of indifference towards all living beings.

Princess Hai looked up and met Wang Dong'er's gaze.

"So, did you pass?"

Did it pass? Of course it did…

"As you understand."

"..."

A moment of silence was followed by—

What do you want our help with?

The sea princess sighed and decided to give in.

She suddenly felt that this sea god was no longer worthy of their merfolk's devotion. She felt a chill in her heart!

Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong'er exchanged a glance.
"We want you to help us pass on a message."

Princess Hai naturally wouldn't refuse.

Soon after, news about the fate of the Sea God's family, and that the Sea God had not only failed to protect them but had instead placed a test on his successor, spread wildly with the help of the Mermaids and the Sea Spirit Beasts who had been forced by the Demon Queen but had not died, thus confirming all of this!
Thanks to extensive publicity, Chen Junting's contributions have spread throughout most of the world and are well-known to both humans and beasts.

All of this was also the work of Chen Junting.

After all, when preparing for the counterattack on the Demon Plane, Chen Junting had discussed this matter with various major forces and asked them to publicize it.

Even the foundation of the belief in sea spirit beasts and sea spirit masters, which is equivalent to the divine status of the sea god, was severely undermined by Chen Junting. This time, he indeed did not avoid Tang San as before, but instead chose to reveal his hand directly.

Tang San must be furious.

To put it simply in one sentence:
"Tang San, what can you do to me now?"

Indeed, things turned out exactly as Chen Junting had predicted.

The divine realm, the divine realm committee.

"boom--"

Tang San propped himself up on his arms. "Destruction! It was you again! That kid was your man from the very beginning! Right?"

His words were filled with resentment and bitterness.

He put in a lot of effort, but he couldn't get Xiaoqi's matter sorted out, and now this has happened.

Looking at the power of faith in the light screen, Tang San finally understood everything! This guy, Destruction, had been setting a trap for him from beginning to end!
But who would have thought that the God of Destruction would pretend to be confused for the first time? "He is one of my men? Sea God, what makes you say that? To be precise, I only gave him a tiny bit of help, nothing more."

Upon hearing this, Tang San's expression grew even more unpleasant.
