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

Chapter 469 Deep Sea
The primordial energy of heaven and earth surged endlessly like waves. Although Chen Haisheng's ambush successfully stopped the Demon Emperor on land, the Demon Emperor's power, capable of overturning rivers and seas, was equally overwhelming on land.

Chen Haisheng glanced at his feet, and the sea, which was usually very familiar to him, now felt vaguely unfamiliar.

He was as if he had lost the favor of the ocean, and like an ordinary person, he developed a fear and awe of the sea.

Chen Hai quickly snapped back to his senses. He hadn't lost the ocean's favor; it was just that the Demon Emperor before him, like himself, could wield the ocean's power, which made the ocean suddenly seem unfamiliar to him.

Compared to when he rescued the sea princess last time, the Demon Emperor's strength seems to have increased considerably, even to the point where he can compete with him for the power of the ocean.

Chen Haisheng couldn't immediately determine the Demon Emperor's current cultivation level.

The records of Poseidon Island do not mention that the Deep Sea Demon Whale King had a wife.

But he knew the strength of the Deep Sea Demon Whale King all too well, and the soul beast that could become its wife must also be quite powerful.

Moreover, since her appearance, she has attacked the territories of other soul beasts several times. In such a short time, her strength has increased considerably.

Chen Haisheng also looked up and glanced at Lin Xiao from afar. At this moment, only Lin Xiao, who had previously demonstrated great strength, made him feel a little more at ease.

Without time to think, he reached out and the seawater surged up, colliding with the power of the ocean and the Demon Emperor who had already gone mad.

Once a Soul Master reaches the Limit Douluo level, the battle is no longer the same as the competition on the arena. It is not just a contest between Soul Skills, but more about the insights gained from the Soul Master's cultivation journey, and the control and application of power.

At this moment, the contest between Chen Haisheng and the Demon Emperor is a competition to see who has a better grasp of the ocean: the guardian of the Sea God's legacy and the sea spirit beast nurtured by the sea.

Chen Haisheng's expression grew increasingly grim. The Demon Emperor before him had gone mad with hatred, and it was precisely because of this that she unleashed her power without reservation, almost ignoring Lin Xiao on the other side, pouring all her power and rage towards Chen Haisheng, who was connected to the Sea God.

Despite his cultivation level as a Limit Douluo, Chen Haisheng felt his body growing heavier and heavier, and he could barely lift his head under the pressure of the Demon Emperor's power.

Fortunately, he wasn't the only one there.

At the same moment the two forces collided, another completely different force enveloped the Demon Emperor.

Lin Xiao flew up and descended from the sky with the power of heaven and earth. The power of death had nowhere to escape or avoid. With just one strike, the Demon Emperor's aura instantly diminished.

Filled with rage and almost losing all sense of reason, the Demon Emperor was completely absorbed by Chen Haisheng and was utterly unprepared for Lin Xiao's attack.

When the power of death descended, even a powerful figure like the Demon Emperor's aura weakened considerably in an instant.

Upon seeing this, Chen Haisheng's eyes lit up instantly, realizing that this was an excellent opportunity. His body seemed to merge with the sea, and the overwhelming force swept over him.

But before his attack could land, in the next instant, he saw a pair of dark purple eyes, the chaos and madness within them dissipating considerably under Lin Xiao's attack.

Or rather, it wasn't Lin Xiao's attack that dispelled her madness, but rather the threat of death that awakened her dwindling rationality through her survival instinct.

A colossal wave crashed back, and Chen Haisheng was submerged in the seawater in just a moment of distraction. Before falling in, he only saw more waves spiraling out of control and surging onto the snowfield, and then his mouth and nose were filled with icy seawater. In an instant, a feeling of coldness, silence, and heaviness assailed him, as if the pressure of the deep sea was trying to squeeze all the air out of his body.

As someone born on Poseidon Island and naturally blessed by the ocean, this was the first time he had experienced what it felt like for an ordinary person to enter the sea.

Meanwhile, when Lin Xiao saw the Demon Emperor turn around, he knew that this soul beast in front of him was probably not easy to deal with.

As a Sea Soul Master, Chen Haisheng's power can only be fully unleashed in the sea. Therefore, when Lin Xiao sensed the situation near the Eternal Tower, he left Chen Haisheng there to hold off the Demon Emperor.

Although he wasn't entirely certain of the Demon Emperor's identity at that time, he had already guessed that leaving it on land would naturally greatly reduce the opponent's combat power.

However, at this moment, the Demon Emperor used her power to tell Lin Xiao that even if she was blocked on land, not everyone could contend with her.

A rumbling sound came from afar, as the surging seawater rushed towards the Demon Emperor like a wild beast. The extreme cold of the far north caused the surface seawater to freeze into ice crystals, but in the next instant, the ice was dispersed by the even more turbulent seawater and melted back into the seawater.

It seemed as if something was completely enveloping Lin Xiao, and the heavy pressure on his chest made each breath incredibly difficult. He gasped for air, but couldn't feel any air entering his chest.

My limbs became weak without me even realizing it, and my vision blurred. When I finally mustered the strength to move my limbs, it was like a person who couldn't swim falling into the deep sea, and all I could do was struggle weakly and uselessly.

The feeling of suffocation?
A thought arose in Lin Xiao's mind.

He hadn't felt this way in a long time. Ever since he received the mermaid's external throat bone from the Grand Elder, he had gained the ability to breathe underwater.

Even outside of water, he can breathe freely in thin air in places where it is difficult for ordinary people to survive.

I haven't felt suffocated in a long time.

But because of this, even though the feeling of being drowned was so real, he knew it was absolutely impossible.

There's only one explanation: he was attacked by the Demon Emperor without his knowledge. Or perhaps it wasn't an attack at all, but rather that he unknowingly fell into the Demon Emperor's domain.

As a sea spirit beast, she wields the power of the ocean, comparable to Chen Haisheng, the guardian of Seagod Island. When her domain appears, all opponents within it will be as if drowning.

With the Demon Emperor's cultivation level, the domain she unleashes will only become more powerful.

This wasn't the first time Lin Xiao had encountered a domain-type ability. Previously, when facing the Grand Elder who had survived the heavenly tribulation, he was trapped within her domain.

Back then, he needed to rely on Electrolux's power to summon the undead and forcefully break through the opponent's domain, but now he has a better method.

The Demon Emperor seemed to have vanished from sight, and Lin Xiao was not in a hurry to search for him. For him, being able to sense the world itself that existed everywhere was enough.
