Douluo Dalu: The Frozen Throne

Chapter 234: The Soul of the Demon King Heads into the Demonic Forest
Shu Yan didn't say anything more. It was now ten thousand years away from the Dou San period in the original novel.

It is normal that the Demon Queen can still maintain her sanity and clarity, but it is obvious that the non-stop killing and devouring has seriously affected her mind. This can be seen from the fact that she immediately became furious and lost control when she first discovered that Shu Yan was a human.

If she continued like this, her symptoms would only get worse. If she followed the original trajectory, she would be discovered by the Holy Spirit Cult, which was still surviving after being severely injured by Huo Yuhao. They would tempt her to resurrect her husband and make her cooperate with them. With the help of the Holy Spirit Cult, she continued to devour marine soul beasts, but her emotions were completely out of control. Later, the drugs provided by the Holy Spirit Cult research team helped her suppress her completely crazy emotions and spirit...

Shu Yan could feel the tremendous resentment and evil spirit hidden in the Demon Emperor. This strong negative energy could even resonate with the Evil God's Scepter. Looking at the Demon Emperor's clear and cold eyes, Shu Yan felt a little emotional for a moment.

Wisps of evil aura slowly emanated from Shu Yan, and he slowly took out the evil god's scepter. Six orange-gold soul rings slowly rose up, revealing a powerful aura. The Demon Emperor couldn't help but reveal a hint of surprise on his face, and then said:

"It's the breath of the Demon Sword Fish King and the Evil Killer Whale King... and this indescribable evil breath, as if... it comes from the gods..."

The evil god's scepter quietly floated beside Shu Yan, and Shu Yan spoke softly:

"The Evil God's Scepter is essentially the Evil God's divine weapon, and it also represents the inheritance of the Evil God's throne. My lineage has been passed down for too long, but in terms of origin, we are the descendants of the ancient gods, and the blood of the gods flows in our bodies. Even though our ancestors have fallen, the throne has been passed down, which is the throne of the Ancient Ice God."

“Among them, the ancient Ice God’s throne itself is a first-level throne, but by chance I got the inheritance of the Dragon Clan’s Water Dragon King. With the fusion of the two inheritances, the Ice God’s throne has also been transformed into a God King-level throne.”

As he spoke, all the evil aura on Shu Yan's body receded. The Demon Emperor was silent for a moment, and then said:

"Humans are, after all, a race that is good at creating miracles."

Shu Yan looked at her and then said:

"I can satisfy you with whatever you want. This is nothing to us. In essence, this is what we will definitely do in the future."

The Demon Emperor's cold and gloomy brows seemed to relax a little. She nodded slightly and said in a stiff tone:

"as you wish……"

Shu Yan laughed in silence and said nothing more. A huge hexagram magic circle slowly rose up, and countless golden runes floated in the sky. The Demon Emperor seemed to reject this strange energy. This energy made her feel repulsive subconsciously. She looked at Shu Yan, frowned slightly, and then said:

"So anxious?"

"I condensed my first soul core when I broke through to Soul Saint, and I condensed my second soul core by using the Yin-Yang complementation method when I broke through to Titled Douluo. In other words, when I break through to Limit Douluo, I need to condense my third soul core by using the Yin-Yang complementation method."

Demon Emperor: “……?”

Bro, do you know what you are talking about!?
Seeing that Shu Yan was not joking, the corner of the Demon Emperor's mouth twitched slightly. The difficulty of condensing the second soul core with the method of complementary yin and yang was enough to make countless geniuses fail here. As for this unprecedented third soul core, the Demon Emperor didn't even dare to think about it...

The Demon Queen was speechless this time. In less than an hour, her world had undergone a drastic change, which made her feel like she was in a dream. Her complicated emotions made her calm down and her spirit become manic again. But at this moment, an extremely sacred and pure energy suddenly appeared in the Demon Queen's perception. In her slightly surprised eyes, Alex slowly appeared with a staff in his hand. He smiled and said:

"It is not a good thing to be consumed by hatred and resentment. Don't let hatred blind your eyes. Otherwise, once you set foot on a road of no return, you will regret it for the rest of your life and will never be able to make up for it. Something similar has happened to me."

Alex's voice was old and gentle. The Demon Emperor's experience resonated with him a little. This sense of resonance between different destinies made Alex feel emotional, and he was also willing to enlighten the Demon Emperor.

The Demon King was stunned for a moment, and then he was somewhat surprised to find that the negative energy that shrouded his spirit and even emotions had been completely purified, and replaced by a touch of warmth and softness that had not appeared in ten thousand years.

"You...you are?"

The Demon Emperor's voice was less cold and more surprised, as if he had not expected that there was a mysterious being with such a high level of spiritual awareness beside Shu Yan and the other two.

This old man gave her a very mysterious feeling. Even though her mental strength had reached the Ultimate Douluo level, she still felt as weak as an ant in front of this old man.

Alex smiled and then said softly:

"I am a fallen man who only woke up at the last moment of his life. My name is Alex. Now only this part of my consciousness is left to reside in the spiritual sea of ​​​​Shu Xiaozi. The hatred in your heart is too strong. If you are willing, you can come to find me to talk later..."

The Demon King opened his mouth but didn't say anything. After taking a deep look at Alex, he turned around and walked into the hexagram array covered with golden runes. Under the golden halo, her back actually softened a little, no longer as cold and solemn as before...

……

After everything was completed, two more orange-gold soul rings slowly settled down. Shu Yan's aura fluctuated for a while, and then he stepped into the ninety-seventh level.

The enormous energy of the Demon Emperor surprised Shu Yan a little. Although it was not long since the Demon Emperor broke through 700,000 years ago, the energy stored in the Demon Emperor was almost twice that of the Snow Queen when she was sacrificed. As for those evil energies... well, to Shu Yan, it was more like a tonic rather than a so-called trouble.

As a burst of purple-gold light flowed, the figure of the Demon Emperor reappeared. She raised her hand and clenched her fist slightly, as if she was a little uncomfortable and a little melancholy. Seeing her like this, the Snow Queen stepped forward and whispered:
“Shu Yan will not deliberately restrict your actions, but the contract between you and him has been signed. Before he becomes a god, you are destined not to leave him too far. As for your daughter, let her go to the human world with us…” A rare trace of hesitation flashed across the face of the Demon Emperor, but after thinking for a moment, he finally nodded gently.

On the other side, Shu Yan was also looking inside his body. The soul bone given by the Demon Emperor was a 700,000-year-old right arm bone. The Demon Emperor was a deep-sea demon whale king, the most powerful race in the sea. The age and quality of this soul bone were beyond doubt. Among all the soul bones in Shu Yan's body, its value and preciousness were enough to rank among the best.

Now, the second spirit, the Evil God Scepter, is only missing the ninth spirit ring. The position of the ninth ring is naturally reserved for the Evil Emperor.

That is to say, before returning to Xing Luo, they had to go to the Sun-Moon Empire again and take the ruler of the Demonic Forest away with them...

After thinking about it, if Shu Yan remembered correctly, the headquarters of the Holy Spirit Church seemed to be built in the outer area of ​​the Demon Forest. Thinking of this, Shu Yan felt that the whole thing seemed to be more interesting...

……

It took nearly another half a month before Shu Yan finally arrived at the coastal area of ​​the Sun and Moon Empire.

The reason why it took so long was very simple. On the way back, he spent a lot of time hunting several hundred thousand year old soul beasts. Under the guidance of the Demon Emperor, he killed a demon soul great white shark with a cultivation base of 190,000 years in the deep sea area. The Demon Emperor then killed and devoured all the rest of the members of the demon soul great white shark group, leaving only a dozen big cats and kittens that escaped.

Of course, this group of Demon Soul Great White Sharks is not the group led by Sea God's mount Xiaobai ten thousand years ago.
When he stepped on the land of the mainland again, Shu Yan was quite emotional. His gains from this deep-sea "tour" were extremely terrifying. All the high-level spirit ring storage devices he brought with him were filled, and the spirit bones he gained were countless, enough for the many girls in the family to get a 100,000-year spirit bone. As for those spirit bones less than 100,000 years old, they were countless even more.

The number of ocean soul beasts that the Demon Queen devoured in the past ten thousand years was more than hundreds of thousands. She was unable to absorb their soul bones, but she did not discard them at will. Now, all these soul bones have been given to Shu Yan. It can only be said that no one can deny the Demon Queen's identity as the richest woman in the ocean.

The area where Shu Yan landed was in the southwest of the Sun and Moon Empire, not far from the Demon Forest, and it could even be said to be very close.

Lan Fuzi, the daughter of the Demon Emperor, was not in the sea area west of the Sun-Moon Empire. According to the Demon Emperor, Lan Fuzi was currently active in the sea area west of the Sun-Moon Empire. That sea area had been slaughtered by her a thousand years ago. There was no soul beast within a radius of 1,500 miles that could threaten Lan Fuzi.

Since the Demon King said so, Shu Yan naturally had nothing to be anxious about. After resting for a day in a medium-sized city called Hailan City, he flew directly to the north.

Along the way, Shu Yan passed by a military base of the Sun-Moon Empire built on an island. Here, Shu Yan saw five armored warships over a hundred meters in length. Those soldiers seemed to be testing some new weapons. The surrounding security was extremely strict, but whether it was the powerful soul masters hidden in the surroundings or those detection and reconnaissance type soul guides, it was absolutely impossible for them to find Shu Yan.

After observing for a while, Shu Yan stood up and left. The only thing that interested him were the super soul guides that were enough to threaten Super Douluo or even Ultimate Douluo. As for other soul guides, he might feel a little surprised and novel, but he didn't have much interest in them.

The soul ring storage device he used to store the soul rings of sea soul beasts was made by Han Lin and the ninth-level soul engineer of Sun and Moon. The materials needed for this thing were too precious to be mass-produced, but the ninth-level soul engineer and several soul engineers killed by Shu Yan before happened to have the rare metals he needed.

Coupled with the special secret channels of the Xingluo Empire, they were able to forcibly create several of them.

The soul ring storage device itself is only an eighth-level soul guide device, or an eighth-level half soul guide device. Under the guidance of the core magic array, it can store up to nine soul rings for one week. If the time is longer, these soul rings will automatically dissipate.

However, this was not a big problem for Shu Yan, as he still had the ninth-level soul guide device, the God-conferring Platform. Although this thing had never been used, its ability to seal time and space was extremely special and outstanding. By throwing the soul ring storage device into it, the problem of storage time limit was perfectly solved.

Shu Yan had already traveled in the Sun-Moon Empire for three months before, and had some understanding of the local customs and practices. He headed north, and soon he flew over an extension of the Jingyang Mountains. Not far behind this mountain range was the rumored Demon Forest.

The Demon Forest is different from the Star Dou Great Forest, most of which is located in the warm and humid Star Luo Empire. The Demon Forest is close to the north and the climate is slightly colder. The leaves and branches of most vegetation in the forest are black and gray. Even if you don't enter the forest, you can feel the depressing and gloomy feeling.

Before actually entering the Demonic Forest, Shu Yan keenly sensed the emotional changes of the three souls.

"Ayan, the cultivation level of the Evil Emperor should be around 800,000 years. It is the only soul beast that dared to challenge Emperor Tian and escaped unscathed in the past 100,000 years. I have heard Emperor Tian talk about the power of the Evil Emperor. Apart from the Evil Emperor, the only soul beasts that can receive such high praise from Emperor Tian are probably... the Deep Sea Demon Whale King and me..."

At the end, Xue Di paused. Everyone knew that the Deep Sea Demon Whale King here did not refer to the Demon Emperor, but the Demon Emperor’s husband, the Deep Sea Demon Whale King who was only one step away from becoming a god but was killed by Tang San.

Upon hearing this, a trace of undisguised anger and resentment appeared on the Demon Emperor's face. Of course, this emotion was not directed at the Snow Emperor, but at the so-called Lord Sea God.

Shu Yan didn't say anything about this. Although the Evil Emperor was strong, he couldn't be much stronger than the Demon Emperor who had the power of the ocean. With his strength, if there was no interference from outsiders, it would only be a matter of time before the Evil Emperor was killed.

The most powerful thing about the Evil Emperor is his extremely strong mental power. When it comes to the soul beasts with the most powerful mental powers in the world, Tianmeng Ice Silkworm and the Evil Emperor are both firmly in the first tier. There is no beast without a reputation. Even though the Evil Emperor is on the verge of death, he is still alive. As long as he is still alive, he is the undisputed second existence in the soul beast world, second only to the Beast God Di Tian.

The headquarters of the Holy Spirit Church is also nearby. It is probably the place with the largest number of powerful people in the entire Sun-Moon Empire except for the imperial palace and Mingde Hall.

The commotion caused by the Evil Emperor's awakening could not be hidden from the group of evil soul masters, so Shu Yan was already prepared to overturn the evil soul masters' lair.

It would be best if we could lure out the top leaders of the Holy Spirit Sect, such as Zhongli Wu or even the Death God Douluo Ye Xishui, and kill them all here to avoid any more trouble later...
