Douluo Amon: I am the Heavenly Venerable of the Dragon King.

Chapter 576 Blood River God-Slaying Array

"The chances of us soul beasts becoming gods are extremely low. But if you cooperate with me, I can guarantee that you have at least a 50% chance of becoming gods."

The Demon Emperor once again threw out bait: if the Douluo God Realm really returns in the future, then the Sea God Tang San will definitely not be alone. The gods beside him will definitely be a huge obstacle.

Putting aside everything else, the Shrek Seven Devils, who ascended to godhood alongside Tang San, the Sea God, were opponents she had to face. Not to mention, the other gods in the God Realm wouldn't just stand by and watch.

At this point, someone must help her share the burden so that she has a chance to take revenge.

The Ghost Emperor and Hades, among others, of the Holy Spirit Cult are all part of her future team. As evil spirit masters, if they want to become gods, they can only follow her down this dark path.

The Ghost Emperor was using her, and the Demon Emperor was well aware of this. However, she didn't care. As long as everyone's ultimate goal was to become gods, the Ghost Emperor would never betray her.

But the Ghost Emperor and his companions are, after all, human, so their credibility is naturally low. Of course, this doesn't mean the Demon Emperor has any particular fondness for Leviathan and his kind.

Looking back, after her husband's tragic death, she and her daughter were relentlessly pursued by his former enemies, living in constant fear. During those dark days, she saw no difference between spirit beasts and humans; both were ruthless persecutors.

Now, her choice to cooperate with Leviathan is merely to use them to check and balance the Ghost Emperor and others, creating a delicate balance to ensure the smooth implementation of her plan.

Thinking of this, the Demon Emperor said again, "How is your consideration? I believe that once you reach the level of quasi-gods, you will also be able to feel the oppressive force in the universe."

"Perhaps you will be able to break through to 990,000 years in the future, but once you reach that point, you will definitely be stuck here just like me, unable to make any progress in your cultivation."

Upon hearing this, Leviathan's eyes flickered with uncertainty. After a moment of contemplation, he spoke, "Then how do we know if you are deceiving us? Unless you can produce proof of your godhood, why should we believe you?"

"It's a sure thing." Upon hearing Leviathan's words, the Demon Emperor knew that the other party was interested, which was only to be expected.

Becoming a god! No soul beast can resist the allure of those two words!

Without further hesitation, the Demon Emperor's soul power surged, and her spiritual power surged forth like a tidal wave, slowly condensing images in front of her—a concrete manifestation of her thoughts.

The Demon Emperor said, "Of course I have evidence to convince you. See for yourselves."

A blood-red phantom array gradually emerged, covered with dense runes. These runes were a vivid and dazzling blood red, as if written with endless blood, exuding a strong aura of blood and evil.

The Demon Emperor's voice rang out: "This is my reliance for becoming a god, the Blood River God-Slaying Array."

"The Blood River God-Slaying Formation?" The soul beasts, including Leviathan, were instantly drawn to this mysterious and terrifying formation, their eyes filled with doubt and shock.

"That's right."

The Demon Emperor's eyes gleamed with madness and triumph as he explained in detail, "This grand formation requires the sacrifice of millions of souls and blood to be officially activated."

"The grand formation utilizes a special core array to stimulate the resentment of individual souls, transforming this resentment into powerful energy, thus forming the supporting force of the grand formation. Blood serves as the medium for guiding the souls, ensuring the grand formation operates completely."

"Once the formation is complete, any living being that dies will have its soul immediately devoured, continuously strengthening the formation's power until it can no longer withstand it."

"The most powerful aspect of this Blood River God-Slaying Array lies in the word 'god-slaying.' It doesn't mean killing gods, but rather killing to become a god. By killing a large number of life forms and devouring their souls, the strength of the array's master can be elevated to the level of a god."

"I have already made arrangements on the Douluo Continent. As long as the time is right, I will activate this Blood River God-Slaying Array in one fell swoop, and then kill my way to godhood. After I break through to godhood, you can borrow the power of this array and ascend to godhood with me."

The reason why the Demon Queen showed the Blood River God-Slaying Array to Leviathan and the others without any hesitation was because she knew that the layout of this array was extremely complicated and intricate.

Not only does it require the sacrifice of the souls and blood of millions of people, but the runes on the formation also require a great deal of time and effort to study and decipher. These preparations alone are enough to deter most people.

Without the assistance of the Ghost Emperor and others, she would not have been able to complete such a massive project on her own.

As for why the Ghost Emperor and the others didn't use this great formation themselves, the reason is that the Blood River God-Slaying Great Formation has extremely high requirements for the master. The cultivation level must be at least Limit Douluo, and the mental strength must be at least at the Divine Origin Realm.

Otherwise, they would be unable to withstand the impact of the resentment of tens of millions of souls. If they were not careful, they would be devoured by the powerful resentment and fall into a place of no return.

Within the Holy Spirit Cult, neither the Ghost Emperor nor Hades Douluo had spiritual power at the peak of the Spirit Domain Realm, far below the requirements of the grand formation. Therefore, they were not qualified to be the leaders of the grand formation.

Only she, the Demon Emperor, is qualified to be the master of the great formation.

The Demon Emperor coaxed, "How about it? The opportunity to become a god is right in front of you. At the latest, my plan will be launched in twenty years. If you are willing to cooperate with me, then you can share eternal life with me."

However, the Water Dragon King snorted coldly and said, "I'll say it again, we don't believe you."

The Fire Dragon King chimed in, "That's right, who knows if this is just a lie you made up to escape."

Seeing this, the Demon Emperor turned his gaze to Leviathan, his eyes revealing a hint of determination and ruthlessness, and said:

"This is the highest sincerity I can show. Believe it or not, it's up to you. I can tell you frankly that this may be your closest chance to become a god in this lifetime. Whether you seize it or not is entirely up to you."

"That's all I have to say. If you still want to fight, then I'll gladly oblige. However, my cultivation is no less than yours; at least before I die, I'm confident I can drag one of you down with me to the Yellow Springs."

"At worst, I can self-destruct. I don't need to elaborate on the power of a quasi-god level self-destruction. Rather than ending up with nothing, let's gamble on whether I'm lying or not. I hope you've carefully considered the pros and cons."

As he spoke, the Demon Emperor's soul power surged and erupted once more, causing the surrounding seawater to surge with waves several meters high, like a raging prehistoric beast, exuding a chilling aura.

She yielded because she was concerned about her daughter's existence. If these soul beasts really pushed her too far, she wouldn't mind fighting them to the death.

"..."

The three soul beasts remained silent for a moment, exchanged glances, and began to communicate with each other using their mental powers.

Seeing this, the Demon Emperor did not rush to make a move, but simply watched them communicate quietly.

After a moment, the three soul beasts seemed to have reached a conclusion, with Leviathan speaking first: "Alright, we agree to cooperate with you. However, how should we contact you?"

The Demon Queen opened her mouth wide, and a conch shell flew out of it. "When the plan begins, I will contact you through this conch shell."

Leviathan caught the conch shell with its soul power, opened its massive mouth, and said, "Well then, how about a pleasant cooperation?"

"It's a pleasure working with you."

A hint of undisguised joy appeared in the Demon Emperor's eyes; clearly, gaining the support of these powerful soul beasts made her quite happy.

Although the two sides had previously threatened to fight each other, in the adult world, as long as their interests align, they can be friends.

……

Devil's Sea.

After the two sides reached an agreement, Leviathan and the others naturally had no reason to besiege the Demon Emperor. After a brief exchange, the Demon Emperor left with Lan Fuzi.

On the sea, Lan Fuzi looked at the Demon Emperor with a worried expression and said softly, "Mom, those guys don't seem like good people. Isn't it a bit too risky for you to cooperate with them?"

In Lan Fuzi's eyes, the Water and Fire Dragon Kings were quite majestic and imposing, but Augustus and Leviathan looked ferocious and terrifying, clearly not benevolent beings.

Of course, there was an even more important reason why Lan Fuzi persuaded her in this way: she hoped that her mother could let go of her hatred and stop being blinded by it, so that she would not continue to kill innocent people indiscriminately.

However, how could the Demon Emperor possibly listen to her? "It doesn't matter. As long as I can get revenge, I can accept any price. As long as I can become a god with the help of the Blood River God-Slaying Array, they will never be able to cause any trouble."

Lan Fuzi continued to persuade her, "Mother, can't you let go of your hatred? Father, in heaven, certainly wouldn't want to see you like this."

A red light flashed in the Demon Emperor's eyes, and he said coldly, "Enough, Lan Fuzi. Have you forgotten how your father died? He was killed by those hypocritical humans."

"Have you forgotten the days after his death when your father's enemies chased us everywhere? If your father hadn't had a premonition and made arrangements, we would have been eaten to bits by those sea spirit beasts long ago."

"I must avenge your father and kill that hypocrite Tang San. Even if I can't kill him, I will kill all his relatives and friends and make him suffer for the rest of his life."

"Besides that, I won't let any of Tang San's lackeys go. The sea princess of the mermaid clan thousands of years ago wasn't the first, nor will she be the last. I must kill all of Tang San's lackeys."

The Demon Emperor became more and more excited as he spoke, the red light in his eyes grew stronger, and his soul power uncontrollably burst forth slightly. The surrounding seawater was stirred up by this power, and layers of white foam rose up.

Fortunately, she retained her rationality and managed to restrain her soul power in time, preventing this powerful force from harming her daughter.

"If it weren't for the fact that thousands of years ago, before I devoured the sea princess of the mermaid clan, she used her innate ability to connect the spiritual power of the remaining mermaids together, which eventually turned into resentment that entangled my spiritual sea, I wouldn't have fallen into madness so easily."

At this point, the Demon Emperor's tone was filled with murderous intent.

Thousands of years ago, when she went to the Arctic Ocean in the far north to devour sea spirit beasts, it was the sea princess of the mermaid clan who stopped her.

Upon hearing the other party claim to be an envoy of the Sea God, the Demon Emperor's killing intent surged instantly, and he immediately engaged the Sea Princess in battle.

That battle lasted a full day and night. Although the Sea Princess possessed a cultivation level of 600,000 years and could connect with the spiritual power of the other mermaids to unleash even greater strength, she was ultimately no match for the Demon Emperor and was devoured by her.

However, before she died, the Sea Princess mustered her last bit of strength and delivered a fatal blow to the Demon Emperor.

Using her talent, she gathered the remaining mermaids' spiritual power, which, after being devoured, transformed into the strongest vengeful spirit. Like a leech, it clung to the Demon Emperor's spiritual sea, constantly disturbing her mind and plunging her into a long and painful state of madness.

This state lasted for thousands of years. However, it was precisely because of the stimulation of this resentment that the Demon Emperor's mental power, through constant struggle and tempering, successfully broke through to the Divine Origin Realm and was occasionally able to regain a moment of clarity.

After that, she joined the Holy Spirit Cult, became the Demon Queen, and began plotting to become a god.

"Once the Blood Demon's drug development is successful and it helps me stabilize my condition, I will have time to completely resolve the Sea Princess's resentment."

The Demon Emperor looked down at his somewhat battered body, scars left from his battle with Leviathan.

At the same time, she glanced at her daughter, Lan Fuzi, whose condition was even worse than hers. After all, she had been chased by Augustus and poisoned. Although she had the whale pearl to heal her wounds, the depleted blood and energy could not be easily replenished in a short period of time.

"Blue Buddha, I remember that the Great White Shark clan of the Demon Souls who followed the Sea God Tang San seemed to live in a certain area of ​​the Arctic Ocean, right?" A cruel glint flashed in the Demon Emperor's eyes.

Lan Fuzi nodded. "That's right, Mother. Why are you asking this?"

The Demon Emperor smiled cruelly, "That's perfect. My daughter and I are somewhat depleted of our vital energy, and those Demon Soul Great White Sharks once devoured your father's flesh and blood. Now that I'm finally lucid for a while, let's use them as our starting point."

"I believe your cultivation will also increase after you devour those demonic soul great white sharks. What, you're not feeling sorry for them, are you?"

"No." Lan Fuzi shook her head. She wasn't a saint; she just didn't want her mother to get too caught up in hatred. Since those demonic great white sharks had devoured her father's flesh and blood, they were practically her father's killers.

"Very good." The Demon Emperor nodded in satisfaction. "Then let's set off now."

With that, the Demon Emperor took the lead and swam forward. Although the Devil's Sea was located in the north, it was still quite a long distance from the Arctic Ocean.

Seeing this, Lan Fuzi quickly followed.

It is foreseeable that another bloody storm will soon erupt in this sea area.
