Douluo Jueshi: I Don't Want to Be an Evil Soul Master

Chapter 459 One Strike

Emperor Ling?

Lin Xiao's expression changed slightly upon hearing this. From the attack just now, he sensed an aura quite similar to that of those abyssal demons.

Chen Haisheng knew nothing about the Abyss Plane, and simply shook his head subconsciously. For some reason, although it was a voice similar to the Evil Emperor's from before, it stirred up some different thoughts in his mind.

Having finally calmed himself down, he turned to look at Lin Xiao, "Brother Lin?"

Lin Xiao shook his head slightly. "Brother Chen, the opponent before us is no longer just our enemy, but the enemy of our world."

Although Chen Haisheng didn't know what Lin Xiao was referring to, he didn't doubt what Lin Xiao was saying, and his expression became more serious.

As for the Spirit Emperor on the side, he seemed to disregard Lin Xiao and Chen Haisheng at all. He merely used the Evil Emperor's body to constantly survey his surroundings, his body wriggling slightly, as if greedily inhaling the air here.

Ah, what a wonderful world!

After a moment, the Spirit Emperor spoke softly, finally having time to focus his gaze on Lin Xiao and Chen Haisheng before him, "You two are the strongest in this world?"

After looking him up and down, Emperor Ling's tone was tinged with disdain, "Nothing special."

There was no hint of contempt or humiliation in his tone; it was as if he were simply stating a fact.

Chen Haisheng shook his head again, his actions faster than his words, raising his hands and causing the seawater around him to sway.

However, in that instant, before he could launch an attack, one of the "Evil Emperor's" tentacles suddenly lashed out.

On that originally somewhat damaged tentacle, a golden line had appeared at some point, supporting the weak tentacle like a skeleton.

The object had just been lifted up a moment ago, and the next moment it landed on Chen Haisheng, pulling him into the seawater.

Seeing that the tentacle was relentless and quickly shot out to chase after Chen Haisheng, Lin Xiao's left leg lit up with light, and with a series of stomps, his figure flashed out of thin air and appeared in front of the tentacle.

With his right arm extended, the entire arm had completely transformed into a dragon claw. His soul power surged within him, and Lin Xiao unleashed a force powerful enough to tear through space as he met the tentacle head-on.

"boom--"

The collision produced a deafening roar, and the heavens and earth trembled violently. Lin Xiao felt his blood surging and a metallic taste rising in his throat.

Without opening his mouth, Lin Xiao swallowed the liquid that rose in his throat, then slowly raised his head to look at the Spirit Emperor in front of him, his brows furrowed.

He hadn't felt this way in a long time.

In fact, since Lin Xiao entered the Title Douluo realm, he has been virtually unmatched among humans. After breaking through level 95, he became the undisputed number one Soul Master.

Even if he were a Limit Douluo, Lin Xiao would be confident of defeating him.

This is why, despite feeling somewhat uncomfortable with Chen Haisheng's initial politeness, Lin Xiao still agreed to go to Seagod Island with him.

Because he was confident that even with Chen Haisheng's strength as a Limit Douluo, he couldn't do anything to him.

However, to Lin Xiao's surprise, the Spirit Emperor before him had already inflicted a considerable loss on him simply by using the Evil Emperor's body. The Spirit Emperor's strength had definitely exceeded the limits that a Soul Master could reach.

Lin Xiao no longer wanted to investigate where Emperor Ling came from.

Perhaps, like the abyssal demons he encountered before, the Spirit Emperor was also drawn to the negative energy of the Douluo Continent. After all, everyone knew about the Evil Emperor's cultivation methods, and his location was indeed likely to attract the attention of the Abyss Plane. The only good news was that the Abyss Plane had not yet fully come into contact with the Douluo World, so the Spirit Emperor could not go there in his true form and could only influence this world through the body of the Evil Emperor.

The Evil Emperor's words just now were probably meant for the Spirit Emperor.

The Spirit Emperor must have noticed the Evil Emperor more than once, thinking of using its power to understand this world. But given the Evil Emperor's personality, how could it easily agree to a request from a voice of unknown origin?

Just now, when the Evil Emperor sensed the terror in Lin Xiao's power, its survival instinct made it seek help from the Spirit Emperor, with whom it had previously communicated.

Unfortunately, the price for Emperor Ling's appearance was equally heavy.

With a thousand thoughts swirling in his mind, and the outside world changing in the blink of an eye, Chen Haisheng, who had fallen into the sea, quickly regained his balance. When he looked up, he saw Lin Xiao on the surface of the sea, who had helped him block the pursuit of the Spirit Emperor.

Seeing Lin Xiao's somewhat unpleasant expression, Chen Haisheng spat out a mouthful of seawater, banished all other distracting thoughts from his mind, and soared into the air to stand with Lin Xiao.

“You are no match for him.” Lin Xiao turned her head slightly.

Chen Haisheng understood the meaning behind Lin Xiao's words, but he had no intention of backing down.

"Just like you said, I am, after all, someone favored by the sea god."

As he spoke, Chen Haisheng's aura suddenly changed, becoming much calmer than before. However, Lin Xiao could sense that beneath this calm lay an incredibly violent power, like a storm on the sea.

A golden light appeared on Chen Haisheng's forehead, and a golden trident-shaped pattern gradually emerged. Golden rays of light intertwined with sea-blue light, surrounding him.

This change made Lin Xiao turn her head slightly to look at him. Such power could indeed only be the favor of the Sea God.

Emperor Ling remained calm and watched as Chen Haisheng fully unleashed his power. Seeing that Chen Haisheng and Lin Xiao were ready, Emperor Ling raised his two tentacles and seemingly lightly poked them towards them.

Chen Haisheng used the same trick again, and the seawater surged up, but this time, the seawater was mixed with dazzling golden light.

Meanwhile, Lin Xiao tried to dodge the tentacles' attacks, but no matter how he changed his shape, the attack was still like a leech that he couldn't get rid of.

With a quick change of mind, Lin Xiao simply abandoned the idea of ​​dodging, and his soul power surged forth as well.

However, just as he was preparing to fight back, a piercing shriek rang in his ears.

Even with Lin Xiao's mental strength, his mind went blank for a moment.

In an instant, the entire world seemed to be devoid of anything except this sound. It was clearly just a sound without substance, yet it fell upon Lin Xiao like an irresistible attack.

There was no time to defend himself. His soul power's self-protection was easily broken. Lin Xiao felt something pierce through everything and attack his sea of ​​consciousness.

Neither his soul power nor his mental power could stop this attack for even a moment; the powerful aura seemed to be about to shatter his sea of ​​consciousness in two.

Until the depths of the sea of ​​the spirit, a gray light shone with warmth.

"what?"

Emperor Ling was slightly surprised, but unfortunately Lin Xiao could no longer hear him. He seemed to have lost all his strength, and his body went limp as he fell into the sea.
