Douluo: The Holy Radiance of the Dragon King

Chapter 319 The Ghost Emperor and Demon King Reappear, the Federation's Three Major Naval Forces Are Attacked, Chen Xinjie's Pain

As Feng Zaixing went into seclusion to cultivate, traces of evil spirit masters appeared on the ocean. Time passed swiftly, and half a year went by in the blink of an eye.

On this day, the Ghost Emperor, who had been away from the mainland for a long time, appeared in the airspace of the military port near Beihai City.

Releasing his spiritual power, he looked down at the poorly defended battleships of the North Sea Fleet. His skeletal face, devoid of much flesh, revealed a smug and sinister light.

"The Demon Emperor truly lives up to his name. Even without my presence in the Holy Spirit Cult, he can still achieve cooperation with those people. Hahahaha—"

Black light surged, and figures of evil soul masters clad in black robes appeared behind him. One of them, the Bone Dragon King Evil Douluo, said in a low voice, "My lord, shall we begin here?"

"Of course! It's easy to get more money if you're paid to do something; since you've taken the benefits, you should naturally do what they asked you to do well. That's called professional ethics."

The Ghost Emperor uttered some words that seemed to have a moral bottom line, which appeared very eerie. His pupils flickered with ghostly fire, and he spoke with particular excitement.

"With that old devil Chen Xinjie in the Poseidon Legion, we can't act rashly. Let's start with the Northern Fleet, then bomb the Eastern Fleet! Bomb the mothership!"

"Come on, let me see how powerful Tang Clan goods are."

"yes!"

The evil soul masters responded in unison, and rows of portable high-level soul-guided turrets appeared silently in the air, bearing the ancient Tang Dynasty character "Tang" that was exclusive to the Tang Sect.

The Ghost Emperor secretly sneaked into the interior of the Northern Navy's naval mothership and installed a level-nine fixed-explosion soul guide device.

"Rumble—"

The shells trailed colorful flames in the air, like fireworks over the Northern Navy Legion. Hundreds of advanced soul-guided shells lit up the night sky like shooting stars, dazzling and beautiful.

The deafening roar mingled with the radar alarms and shouts of the Northern Navy Corps, interspersed with occasional desperate cries.

The Northern Navy Legion's mothership is the largest and most crucial warship in the Northern Navy Legion fleet, with the highest defense rating in the Federation. However, at this moment, it is like a piece of scrap metal, falling apart under the combined attack of the soul-guided weapons from both inside and outside, and even bursting into flames.

The bottom was shattered, and large swathes of seawater flooded the hull, quickly wearing down and ending this war machine that had been built at the expense of a large amount of federal resources.

At the same time, eight Black-class battleships received the same treatment. These war machines, which were usually renowned but had no combat record, were dealt a fatal blow and completely destroyed.

The Northern Navy Legion, which was caught off guard, immediately launched a counterattack. However, the rapidly rising fighter planes and level four or five fixed-position soul-guided cannons were no match for the core experts of the Holy Spirit Cult. More powerful soul-guided weapons would take time to prepare.

"You dare to use this little bit against me? Your navy's professionalism is questionable."

The Ghost Emperor hummed excitedly and casually waved his hand, causing the ghostly mist to transform into countless dark ghostly claws that blotted out the sky and swallowed up several fighter jets.

Soul Masters' combat power has returned to its peak in this era. The Northern Navy Legion was once controlled by the Shen family. Without a linked soul guidance array and a high-energy compressed soul guidance array, their military defenses were simply unable to resist the decapitation operation of a peak Soul Master.

Given the strength of this small force of the Holy Spirit Cult, it was naturally impossible for them to slaughter hundreds of thousands of soldiers in the Northern Navy Legion; however, it was no problem for them to merely behead a portion of the fighting force and escape unscathed.

"Hehehe, so apart from the place where that madman is in charge, the rest of the Sun Moon Federation can enter my capital as if it were their own territory!"

"You pathetic good-for-nothings, I'm leaving now—"

Having succeeded in one move, the Ghost Emperor did not delay, nor did he have any interest in engaging in military confrontation with the entire Northern Navy Legion. He stirred up a dark cloud and led his subordinates away in a swift retreat.

"Ah ...

Several major generals and lieutenant generals of the Northern Navy Corps Headquarters, as well as some Soul Masters with considerable cultivation, watched the Ghost Emperor's carefree departure, their faces filled with hatred and anger.

They knew very well that they would all be held responsible for what had happened.

"Report this situation to the Federation immediately and request support from Mingdu! Hurry!" An extremely urgent order was issued from the North Navy Corps Headquarters, carrying the joint plea of ​​all the officers and generals.

However, the Holy Spirit Cult's experts had not been seen for many days, but when they finally made their move, it was earth-shattering. The same attack occurred almost simultaneously with the East Sea Legion.

As night fell, a dark purple aura swept across the sky. The Demon Emperor, his sleeves billowing and hair dancing wildly, led his men in an attack on the main formation of the Eastern Navy Legion.

The top-tier soul-guided cannonballs produced by the Tang Sect on the mainland demonstrated their power to the fullest at this moment. Even the heavily guarded mothership of the East Sea Fleet was blown up, and more cannon fire engulfed six black-class battleships.

After their location was exposed, the Holy Spirit Cult detachment was met with a barrage of artillery fire from the East Sea Navy. The Demon Emperor, driven mad by murderous intent, was not angry but delighted. He transformed back into his true form and unleashed a massive wave.

Corrosive, toxic rain poured down, striking every rapidly moving warship, corroding the soul-guided weapons and forcing large numbers of soul-guided warships to defend rather than attack. Every now and then, a warship would break apart, its entire crew turning into dead souls.

"Mother, stop fighting! You're causing too much bloodshed here. The experts from the Sun Moon Federation will go mad!"

Lan Fuzi was also in this group, her eyes filled with urgency and anxiety. She was all too aware of the domineering attitude of some ruthless people in the Federation.

With his mother's outburst, the "reduction in sentence" he had worked so hard to obtain was probably all for naught.

"Kill them? Why not? Today I will make these humans pay for what they have done! Tang San killed your father, so I will kill those who believe in him to vent my bloodlust!"

"Without Limit Douluo and Four-Word Battle Armor Master, how could humans possibly do anything to me? Get out of here!"

The Demon Emperor, caught up in the chaos, ignored his daughter's advice and unleashed a powerful wave that sent Lan Fuzi flying tens of thousands of meters away.

However, Lan Fuzi quickly swam back, her body still bleeding profusely, and said in a barely audible voice, "Even if, even if you want revenge, you've come to the wrong place, cough cough—"

The Demon Emperor paused his killing move, and surprisingly, he managed to suppress his emotions, which were not controlled by drugs. He coldly said, "So what do you think?"

""

"If you're going to kill someone, you should go to the Sea God's Legion. They are the Sea God's most loyal followers, cough cough cough—"

Lan Fuzi coughed up a mouthful of blood and said to the Demon Emperor.

This daughter of the Demon Emperor knew very well that among the Sun Moon Federation's naval forces, only the Vast Ocean Douluo Chen Xinjie had any hope of stopping her mother; any others would just be easy prey.

Only by luring the Demon Emperor to the Sea God Legion can this sudden massacre be stopped.

Normally, the Demon Emperor, whose emotions would not be swayed by drugs, was now bloodthirsty and upon hearing "faithful followers of the Sea God," he seemed to think that even Chen Xinjie's threat was nothing. Enraged, he submerged and took to the air, taking the Holy Spirit Cult experts with him as they fled.

"That's right! Tonight, I and the Holy Spirit Cult will raid every single navy of the Sun and Moon Federation!"

The eerie and terrifying purple light dissipated outside the area where the sea and sky met, and all the soldiers of the East Sea Fleet breathed a sigh of relief, feeling as if they had been granted a pardon while sweating profusely.

The Demon Emperor's combat power was too terrifying; his ability to stir up the might of nature was simply beyond their ability to withstand.

Zhu Ming, the commander of the East Sea Legion, stared with a somber expression in the direction where the Demon Emperor had disappeared. He bit his lip and almost roared as he gave the order.

"Request aid from the Federation and the Temple of War. From now on, no matter what, the Eastern Navy Legion must have a Limit Douluo-level expert in command!"

"Such losses are too devastating; we simply cannot afford to suffer a second time!"

The mothership was mostly destroyed, and many battleships, destroyers, and cruisers were reduced to fragments. Years of hard work by the Federation were wiped out in an instant, and the losses were unprecedented.

The adjutant stared intently at the mottled craters of the soul-guided cannon shells on the mothership, almost bursting into tears with rage. He retorted, "Commander, where did the Holy Spirit Cult get so many high-level fixed-position soul-guided cannon shells? The mothership was hit by at least five level-nine fixed-position soul-guided cannon shells, otherwise it would never have ended up like this—"

Lieutenant General Zhu Ming's eyes darted around, his pupils blazing with killing intent. He almost shouted out each word with deliberate pause, "Star Luo Empire, Tang..."

Door!"

"What a shrewd Tang Clan! What a shrewd Star Luo Empire! We haven't even fought them yet, and they've already colluded with the Holy Spirit Cult to attack us. This is a declaration of war, a war to the death!"

Everyone fell silent. At this moment, even if the Holy Spirit Cult's terrorist attack had nothing to do with the Star Luo Empire or the Tang Sect, the blame had to be placed on the Star Luo Empire and the Tang Sect.

Otherwise, the best outcome for these people would be demotion or exile, the worst would be losing their uniforms, and the worst would be going to military court, where there would surely be plenty of bullets.

Moreover, so many fixed-mount soul-guided shells and soul-guided weapons could only be produced by the Tang Sect's military factory in the Star Luo Empire. Either the Tang Sect's military assets were stolen, or the Tang Sect cooperated with the Holy Spirit Cult. In any case, it was inseparable from the Tang Sect.

With such enormous losses, these commanders will inevitably have to go through a military court; no one will be able to escape. Presumably, a nationwide mobilization will follow.

"Next, we'll see how Mingdu reacts. From now on, there will be no more doves in the council; they'll never come back—"

Lieutenant General Zhu Ming gritted his teeth and said, "These traitors used to shout for the Tang Clan every day. Now that things have come to light, they will be plunged into the abyss forever. The hawks and moderates will also completely turn to the radicals. It will no longer be possible for the will of one or a few people to suppress them."

The recent military coup, in retrospect, was truly visionary; the timing of the move against the Shen family was impeccable.

...

That night, the infamy of the Holy Spirit Cult resurfaced on the continent. The Ghost Emperor and the Demon Emperor each led their teams to launch surprise attacks on the North Sea and East Sea Legions, and then joined forces outside the Sea God Legion.

Upon receiving the news, Chen Xinjie, who was stationed there, was already furious. He led several War Gods from the Temple of War and experts from the Sea God Legion headquarters in a desperate battle. With the addition of the Sea God Legion's top-ranked artillery fire, they fought for nearly half an hour and finally repelled the Holy Spirit Cult assault team.

"Holy Spirit Cult, I will fight you to the death! From this day forward, I will kill every evil spirit master I see; fleeing to the ends of the earth won't do you any good!"

Recalling Long Yeyue's "tragic death" at the hands of the Holy Spirit Cult, Chen Xinjie donned the Sea God Helmet and fought fiercely against the Ghost Emperor and the Demon Emperor. His strong fighting spirit even made the Demon Emperor more aware of his surroundings, forcing him to retreat while fighting.

How could Chen Xinjie let the two of them leave? He chased after them relentlessly, determined to leave one of them alive.

The Ghost Emperor was caught up first. Chen Xinjie stepped forward and threw several punches, injuring the Ghost Emperor and attempting to seal his soul power and capture him.

But just as he was displaying his divine power and boosting morale, a streak of blue-purple light suddenly appeared from the Ghost Emperor's hand and slid toward Chen Xinjie's chest and abdomen.

"Chen Xinjie, try it!"

Chen Xinjie keenly sensed the danger and tried to retreat quickly, but the Demon Emperor sneered and used a desperate battle technique to block Chen Xinjie's path.

The Ghost Emperor hurriedly handed over a halberd. The Heavenly Saint Rift Halberd's ability to ignore defenses was unleashed, slashing at Chen Xinjie's abdomen before he could dodge, and activating the newly rebuilt world-destroying crater to smash Chen Xinjie away.

In an instant, Chen Xinjie's blood gushed out like a spring!

"ah----"

Chen Xinjie cried out as his strength rapidly drained away, his face turning deathly pale, and his soul power lost its previous dominance.

"Bang!"

The Demon Emperor picked up the injured Ghost Emperor and left, knocking the heavily injured Chen Xinjie into the sea with a single palm strike, leaving behind only a gloating, sinister laugh echoing in the night.

"Chen Xinjie, you can keep your life for now, but I'll come back for it sooner or later!"

"The Holy Spirit Cult!!!"

Chen Xinjie cried out in agony, but seeing that his wounds were bleeding uncontrollably, he had no choice but to suppress the urge to perish with the two men and stagger back to the Sea God Legion.

Thus, all three navies suffered blows to varying degrees, and the news shocked the Federation.
