Douluo: Legend of the Dragon King - The Voice of the Purple Emperor

The shadowy figure seemed to be watching Gu You as well. There was no energy fluctuation emanating from it. Gu You's pupils gradually narrowed, and terrifying destructive power radiated out.

The dark figure instantly retreated and disappeared.

This is a bit too bizarre, so let's stop here for today.

Gu You frowned, then instantly transformed into a colorful shadow and disappeared.

On the return journey, he sped up, taking less than a third of the time it took to get there before exiting the abyss passage and returning to the Blood God Camp.

"Blood One, do you have a moment? I've made some discoveries."

Come here.

After contacting Xue Yi, Gu You went directly to the Blood God Camp's main hall to wait. Not long after, Xue Yi came out of his room.

Gu You recounted what he had seen and heard on his trip.

Upon hearing his account, Xue Yi's expression changed rapidly. "You went to the Abyss again? And this time you encountered a possessed demon?"

"Possessed by a demon..." Gu You muttered a few words, as if he suddenly realized something.

Xue Yi stared intently at him for a long while before saying in a deep voice, "Do you know what kind of disaster this possessed demon brought us when the Abyss Plane descended?"

Gu You shook his head. He had heard of the name, but he knew nothing about what had happened in the past.

A flicker of grief crossed Blood's eyes. "Possession Demons occupy the seventh layer of the Abyss Plane and are among the most powerful Abyss creatures. They don't possess much combat power themselves, and exist primarily as spiritual entities. However, Possession Demons have a talent that is utterly disastrous for us: possession!"

"Possession demons are spiritual entities, and how they are born is unknown. Because they lack a life source and energy, and are extremely good at hiding, they are very difficult to detect. Once something is amiss, the person may already be possessed."

At this point, the ruthless Douluo paused for a moment before continuing, "Once possessed by a demon, one will be controlled by it. Those with spiritual cultivation below the Spirit Domain Realm are powerless to resist. Even those with the strength of the Spirit Domain Realm will be greatly affected and will need to fight with all their might to have any chance of breaking free. And in the process of fighting it, it is very difficult to move."

"More than six thousand years ago, in our first great war with the Abyss Plane, we were possessed by dozens of powerful individuals because we did not understand the characteristics of the Possession Demons. As a result, several Limit Douluo powerhouses were inexplicably killed by the enemy, and a large number of Title Douluo defected on the spot. Otherwise, how could we have suffered such heavy losses? That battle almost caused the fall of half of the elites of the entire continent."

"It wasn't until many years later, after a continuous struggle against the Abyss Plane, that we gradually discovered that possessing demons are more afraid of life energy. Only by carrying an extremely rare life crystal can one be immune to their possession. But by then, we had already paid too heavy a price. What's even more terrifying about possessing demons is that they are practically unkillable. Whether it's physical attacks, mental attacks, or energy attacks, they will all be infected and controlled by them. In particular, attacks that project energy outwards will only become part of their power and then be used by them..."

Xue Yi continued, "Fortunately, although possessing demons are extremely terrifying, their numbers are quite limited. Moreover, based on our years of research, we have concluded that a possessing demon can only possess three times in its lifetime, so it does not choose its possession targets lightly. Once possession is successful, it will gradually and completely control the possessed being, converting all its abilities into its own, while also possessing the possessing demon's own special abilities."

"You're very lucky. The one you encountered should be a possessing demon that hasn't possessed anyone yet. If it were one of those possessing demons that have already possessed humans, and their combat power is already formidable, then it wouldn't be so easy to deal with. So, while intangible possessing demons are certainly terrifying, possessing demons with physical forms are even more terrifying!"

"I understand, thank you for your explanation, sir..."

For the next period of time, Gu You participated in competitions every day, one day in a Soul Master battle and one day in a Mech battle.

The rest time for Star Battle Network is getting less and less.

Gu You, as a strong favorite, qualified first in her regional group and advanced to the top sixteen in the Soul Master Battle. The same was true in the Mech Battle. At this point, the finals were just around the corner!

There aren't many matches left, but those we'll be facing are all the strongest among the Federation's younger generation. Or rather, the strongest below the four-word battle armor master.

Gu You currently knows of two opponents, and two from the Legion have made it to the final stage.

To his shock, Ma Shan was nowhere to be found.

With Ma Shan's strength, he actually stopped at the group stage. Keep in mind, he's an eight-ring Soul Douluo level, a three-word Battle Armor Master!

During the final stage, Gu You still had acquaintances, and among them was one person he knew best...

Sitting cross-legged in the quiet room, Ye Xinglan closed her eyes. Although she was meditating, she still exuded an indescribable sharp aura.

Her navy blue uniform meant that she belonged to the navy.

She and Xu Lizhi were selected into this navy through their own abilities during the recruit selection process. The Federation's East China Sea Fleet, known as the invincible fleet, is also the most powerful fleet in the entire Federation.

In terms of troop numbers, the East Sea Fleet wasn't significantly larger than the North Sea Fleet. However, in terms of manpower and equipment, the East Sea Fleet far surpassed the North Sea Fleet. It was truly the elite of the elite.

Behind the East Sea Legion stands the Federal War God Temple, where the most pure power resides: the Federal Parliament.

The commander of the East Sea Fleet is a general, a true military bigwig.

The Eastern Navy's military regulations are simple: meritocracy. Anyone with ability is most likely to be promoted without regard to seniority. No one dares to engage in favoritism or corruption under the supervision of the Temple of War. Furthermore, the Eastern Navy is the most focused on individual combat prowess among all the Federation's armies.

She also found her own path, bringing Ryuji to serve in the military. The geniuses of Shrek didn't have to choose, but each had their own ambitions. The changes over the years, as well as everyone's experiences, would all lead them to different futures.

After joining the East China Sea Fleet, the fleet hopes that she will dedicate herself to breaking through to the Title Douluo level and then help Li Zhi break through to the Title Douluo level. Currently, there are only two food-type Title Douluo on the continent, and both are over eighty years old, making it impossible for them to serve in the military...
