Douluo: The Peerless King of Beast Tamers

Chapter 324 The Evil Demon Emperor, the Holy Mother Blue Buddha
The waves surged wildly as if imbued with life, and the tiny sprays, illuminated by the setting sun, shimmered like broken silver, reflecting dreamlike colors.

This once tranquil and peaceful sea area is now faintly filled with an eerie atmosphere, as if silently foreshadowing something unusual that is about to happen.

Beneath the seemingly calm surface of the sea, an unimaginably huge shadow is slowly rising.

The shadow was initially just a blurry outline, but as it rose higher, its massive size gradually became clearer.

The mere blurry outline was enough to instill fear, as if an invisible hand were gripping one's heart, causing utter terror.

Finally, as the full shadow began to emerge, it became barely possible to see that this mysterious creature was over 700 meters long. Such a massive size made it a behemoth in this sea area.

As the enormous creature continued to rise, its gradually clearer outline revealed it to be a whale.

However, this was no ordinary whale. It exuded a chilling aura, and a strong sense of oppression emanated from it, rapidly engulfing an area of ​​tens of kilometers in the sea like a tidal wave.

The once clear sky turned gloomy at this moment, as if it were affected by a terrifying force.

The sky gradually turned an eerie blackish-purple, with wisps of energy surging in the clouds, as if an apocalyptic catastrophe was about to descend.

This giant whale is entirely blue-black, with a massive body that is large at the head and small at the tail.

Its body surface is covered with layers of demonic patterns, which are twisted and ferocious, like terrifying faces, each pattern seemingly containing endless evil and power.

Surprisingly, the whale did not surface completely, but instead continued its rapid southward journey at an extremely fast speed in the water some distance from the surface.

Its enormous, blood-red eyes slowly opened and closed, its cold gaze fixed on a distant direction.

The chill in his eyes seemed capable of freezing the surrounding air instantly, making it suffocating.

"Such a vast and abundant life force, such a rare and precious medicine, after consuming it, my power will surge once again, and the speed at which I can overcome the seven hundred thousand-year tribulation will also accelerate..."

A deep, cold thought echoed across the sea, its voice filled with greed and desire.

It was as if the thing in front of it was a treasure it was determined to obtain.

Not long after the giant whale left, an equally powerful aura, but one carrying a hint of anxiety and worry, arrived in an instant.

At the same time, a resolute and urgent thought resounded throughout the sea: "No, I must stop Mom! I can't let her continue down this wrong path!"

Immediately afterwards, another giant whale surfaced, revealing its deep blue back, a stark contrast to the blue-black of the previous whale.

A massive jet of water shot into the sky from its vent, forming a spectacular water curtain in the air.

Then, the giant whale swam rapidly southwards, its massive tail fin swaying, leaving a long trail of white spray behind it.

Judging from their size and characteristics, the two giant whales are very similar and clearly have a very close relationship.

However, the former's size was almost ten times that of the latter. Although both had cultivated for over 100,000 years, the intensity of their auras was completely different, with a huge gap between them.

Meanwhile, on a small island not far from this sea area, Zhou Sichen and Xu Jiujiu, after capturing the Dream Dolphin, leisurely walked towards the place where He Caitou absorbed the Soul Ring.

By this time, the sky had gradually darkened, and the afterglow of the setting sun dyed the sky orange-red, which then slowly turned into a deep, light ink color.

Where He Caitou stood, the Sun Martial Soul floating behind him shone brightly, illuminating a large area around him, as if lighting a beacon in the gradually darkening environment.

On He Caitou's body, a dark, ten-thousand-year-old soul ring has been completely positioned and suspended.

At this point, He Caitou had successfully absorbed the first spirit ring of his Sun Martial Soul.

However, he did not wake up immediately and remained in a deep meditative state.

During the process of absorbing this spirit ring, his spirit power underwent an astonishing change, and it has now reached level 54.

This 23,000-year-old soul ring provided him with an almost three-level boost in soul power.

Such a tremendous increase in power required him to consolidate and digest this sudden surge of strength through deep meditation.

Time passed by, and the surrounding environment became increasingly quiet, with only the occasional sound of waves and the rustling of leaves in the breeze.

Another half hour passed, and He Caitou's body suddenly trembled slightly, and an even more powerful aura emanated from him.

His soul power successfully broke through to level 55, and under the effect of deep meditation, this newly broken-through soul power quickly stabilized.

He Caitou slowly opened his eyes and withdrew the Sun Martial Soul that was floating behind him.

He looked at Zhou Sichen, Xu Jiujiu, and Zhang Lexuan who were guarding him, and a bright smile slowly appeared on his face.

He Caitou's eyes gleamed with excitement and joy: "Brother Zhou, Senior Sister, Senior Sister Jiu Jiu, I succeeded! And my soul power has reached level 55. This Sun Clam's soul ring is a perfect match for me!"

He Caitou's excitement at the huge improvement in his soul power level and strength was naturally palpable.

He seemed to already see his powerful future self, and secretly vowed that if he continued to grow at the current pace, his future achievements would be limitless.

The day of revenge will surely be just around the corner!

Zhou Sichen and the other two looked at the excited He Caitou and smiled with satisfaction.

Zhou Sichen stepped forward, patted He Caitou on the shoulder, and said earnestly, "Congratulations, Caitou. However, you can't rush to improve your cultivation. You absorbed two ten-thousand-year soul rings at once, and your body and martial soul need time to adapt to and digest this powerful force."

"Don't continue absorbing spirit rings for a while. Wait until you have fully mastered your current strength before doing so."

He Caitou nodded heavily, his eyes firm, and said, "I understand, Brother Zhou."

However, just as this relaxed and pleasant atmosphere was beginning, Zhou Sichen and Zhang Lexuan seemed to realize something at the same time.

Their expressions instantly turned extremely serious, and they both looked in the same direction.

Night fell like thick ink, and the already dim sky became even more oppressive under the invisible pressure.

The sea breeze, carrying a sweet, briny scent, swept by, and the sound of the waves crashing against the rocks became dull and slow.

Zhou Sichen's pupils suddenly contracted. Below the sea surface, a massive, abyss-like black shadow was hurtling through the waves.

Wherever it passed, the seawater surged like boiling molten lava, and layers of waves were torn apart and scattered by an invisible force.

Zhou Sichen's mental energy suddenly spread like a spider web. When the outline of the enormous creature became clearly visible in his mental energy detection, a chilling sensation crept up his spine to the back of his neck.

A deep-sea demon whale, and a ferocious beast at that!

Its body, exceeding 700 meters in length, is three times larger than the Deep Sea Demon Whale King, which was slain by the Sea God Tang San ten thousand years ago, as recorded in the Sea God Island Library.

The demonic patterns covering its body twisted and swirled, like countless hideous ghost faces writhing. As the giant beast moved, a dark purple light faintly flowed between the demonic patterns.

"The Demon Emperor?!"

Only the Demon Queen, the wife of the Deep Sea Demon Whale King who was killed by the Sea God Tang San ten thousand years ago, possessed such terrifying cultivation and physique.

According to the original story, this peerless ferocious beast should appear in the world ten thousand years from now!
At that time, the Demon Emperor possessed terrifying strength that was enough to rival the Beast God Emperor Tian.

Even when Di Tian was not at his peak, he was still a super strong person who had taken a step towards the divine realm.

The Demon Emperor who has arrived ahead of schedule is not as terrifying in cultivation as he will be ten thousand years from now.

With its nearly 700,000 years of cultivation, combined with the terrifying physical strength of the deep-sea demon whale, it was fully capable of contending with a level 99 peerless Douluo. A terrifying pressure enveloped the entire island as if it were a tangible force, and the ground suddenly began to tremble, with the rocks on the shore cracking inch by inch.

The Demon Emperor's enormous body slowly rose, and the moment its blood-red maw opened, a blinding purple-gold light exploded like a volcanic eruption.

What was truly terrifying was that the behemoth began to shrink rapidly, and the cracking sounds of its dislocated bones echoed between heaven and earth, mixed with the sound of the waves.

Dark purple clouds surged and gathered, engulfing the entire sea in thick darkness.

All life seemed to have been instantly drained away, and the sea fell into an eerie stillness, with only the blackish-purple energy floating in the air moving like venomous snakes.

The purplish-gold light gradually faded, and a beautiful woman dressed in a dark purple dress stood in the void.

She looked to be only in her early thirties, yet her eyes held a depth of experience and ruthlessness spanning hundreds of thousands of years.

Her face was as perfect as if sculpted from ice and jade, but the curve of her lips carried a bloodthirsty cruelty.

At the center of her smooth forehead, a purple-gold crystal emitted an eerie light, flickering with her breath as if it were absorbing the souls around her.

"Humans?" The Demon Emperor's voice, now in human form, was like silk coated with poison, the last syllable carrying a chilling laugh.

"I never expected to encounter such pure soul power and rich life force here. The aura emanating from you feels like a compensation bestowed upon me by heaven."

Her gaze at Zhou Sichen was intense and greedy, as if she were looking not at a living person, but at a peerless elixir that could help her break through her bottleneck:

"Tang San killed my husband back then, consider this the interest I collected before taking my revenge."

Facing the imposing Demon Emperor, Zhou Sichen's aura suddenly erupted, and his true martial soul was abruptly released.

Three spirit rings, one white and two gold, slowly rotated on his body, each radiating a terrifying aura.

Zhang Lexuan's moonlight power soared into the sky, the full moon hung high, and eight soul rings—two yellow, two purple, three black, and one red—were arranged in an orderly fashion.

The level 88 soul power surged like a tide, intertwining with Zhou Sichen's power to form a barrier.

Even so, the combined pressure released by the two was like a candle flame against the blazing sun in front of the Demon Emperor.

Xu Jiujiu and He Caitou were both as pale as paper, barely managing to release their martial spirits.

Their soul power was like a candle flickering in the wind under the Demon Emperor's terrifying pressure, and every breath seemed extremely difficult.

If Zhou Sichen and Zhang Lexuan hadn't joined forces to resist, they would probably have been crushed by the Demon Emperor's terrifying pressure long ago.

Zhou Sichen's right hand shone with a brilliant golden light, and the Martial Soul of the Book of Contracts slowly emerged.

Faced with such an unparalleled enemy, he was already prepared to summon the Snow Emperor.

Just then, the sea surface suddenly boiled again, and another deep-sea whale broke out of the water.

Unlike the Demon Emperor's tyranny, this behemoth exuded an aura of sorrow and urgency.

A flash of golden light appeared, and a pretty young girl appeared before everyone.

Her appearance was seven or eight parts similar to the Demon Emperor, but her eyes lacked the ferocity and had more gentleness.

"Mom, please stop!" The girl's voice trembled, tears welling up in her eyes.

"We can avenge our father in other ways. Humans are also living beings. This indiscriminate killing of innocents will only lead you to eternal damnation!"

She lunged at the Demon Emperor, but was forced back several steps by an invisible force, blood spilling from the corner of her mouth.

The Demon Emperor looked down at his daughter, a flicker of struggle in his eyes, quickly replaced by hatred: "Respect for life? When Tang San killed your father, did he have a single ounce of pity?"

"These humans are nothing but nourishment to aid my cultivation!" Her body suddenly surged with dark purple energy, and the girl's figure swayed precariously under the pressure.

The Demon Emperor's body was surrounded by surging black and purple energy, like a volcano about to erupt, and the air hummed under his pressure.

The girl was fearless and resolutely stood in front of Zhou Sichen and the others. Her thin body trembled slightly in the wind, but she was as firm as a towering mountain.

Tears welled in her eyes, but her voice held an unwavering resolve: "Mom, you can't continue killing innocent people, or you'll be punished by heaven!"

This scene left Zhou Sichen stunned. As expected of the Holy Mother Blue Buddha among soul beasts, she truly lived up to her reputation...

"Shut up!" The Demon Emperor's roar exploded like thunder. The tenderness that had appeared when she recalled her husband was instantly replaced by overwhelming hatred and coldness.

The magical runes around her body flickered violently, and she seemed to have transformed into a live volcano about to erupt.

"Divine retribution? Hahahaha! When your father was killed, why wasn't that bastard punished by heaven?!"

The Demon Queen roared to the sky, her voice filled with endless sorrow and rage, tears mingling with seawater as they streamed down her face: "Your father was an upright man throughout his life. In that sea, when did he ever intentionally slaughter humans?!"

"Back then, when Tang San approached your father, wasn't it because he coveted your father's spirit ring and spirit bone?!" Her voice grew louder and louder, each word seeming to burst forth from the deepest part of her heart.

She actually addressed Tang San, the Sea God, directly by his given name.

"After he killed your father, he left the mainland and declared that your father was an evil spirit beast who had committed numerous atrocities. Where is justice in this world?!"

The Demon Emperor suddenly waved his sleeve, and a blackish-purple energy wave swept out, completely encircling the small island. Clearly, he had no intention of letting Zhou Sichen and the others go.

The Demon Emperor continued, "Our Deep Sea Demon Whale clan has been branded with the sin of evil simply because we are trying to survive in this cruel world."

"Hahahaha! Those so-called Sea God's mounts, the Demon Soul Great White Shark clan, have they slaughtered just as many Sea Soul Beasts as we have?! What right do they have to judge us?!"

Her eyes turned crazed and twisted, and the energy around her surged wildly: "All humans deserve to die! After I devour these few humans and gradually reach the level your father once reached, I will use all the living beings on the Douluo Continent as sacrifices as the foundation for my godhood!"

"I will make that so-called Sea God know the consequences of offending the Deep Sea Demon Whale Clan! I will make the entire Douluo Continent pay for your father's death!"

The Demon Queen's roar echoed between heaven and earth, and the waves surged wildly, as if roaring in response to her rage.

Hearing her mother's words, the girl's tears flowed like a burst dam. She shook her head in anguish: "No, Mother, doing this will only make the hatred never end."

Lan Fuzi choked back tears, saying, "If Father were still alive, he would never want to see you like this..."

But her words were drowned out by the Demon Emperor's roar, appearing so pale and powerless in the face of such overwhelming hatred.

　The turning point in Tang San's reputation begins now. The protagonist is no longer fawning over Shrek Academy, but needs to gradually bring down Tang San.

　　Many fans have inexplicably promoted the Tang San statue, but is that reasonable?

　　Shrek Academy has been around for thousands of years and has countless followers. Why would they believe a child just because he said a few words?

　　Now, Zhou Sichen, as the successor of the Sea God Pavilion Master, has created the Spirit Transmission Tower, bringing blessings to the world.

　　Now we need to find evidence of Tang San's bad deeds and then dismantle his reputation step by step.

　　Under such circumstances, Mu En and others would gradually come to believe in and choose Zhou Sichen, whom they had watched grow up.

　　These are my own thoughts; please refrain from criticism if you disagree.
