Douluo Dalu II: The Peerless Tang Sect

Chapter 302 Target: Demon Emperor, All Trump Cards Revealed!

Zhu Ziyang and his three companions entered the Mountain of the Dead.

Searching for something in this vast Mountain of the Dead is no easy task, especially since it's a weapon—a weapon they've never seen before. However, guided by the mark of the Other Shore Flower, Zhu Ziyang and his companions weren't wandering around aimlessly like headless flies.

Following the guiding light emitted by the spider lily, the group of four entered the depths of the Mountain of the Dead, a place covered with lush, tall trees and dense vegetation, completely undeveloped and pristine.

They encountered many spirit beasts from the Spirit Continent, which were not much different from those from the Douluo Continent. Apart from their different races and appearances, they were all creatures that valued bloodlines and disregarded cultivation.

The Mountain Range of the Dead is truly vast. Zhu Ziyang and his companions traveled through the mountain range for four days before finally reaching the middle section. Before they could even rest, the mark of the Other Shore Flower provided new guidance. Following the guidance, Zhu Ziyang, Jiang Nannan, and the other two women all had a general idea in their minds.

Their destination is most likely the heart of the Dead Mountains!

The four exchanged glances, their faces all grave. They had no intention of resting and continued onward.

Normally, the core of a mountain range is its highest peak, but this is not the case with the Mountain of the Dead. While the core of the Mountain of the Dead does indeed contain its highest peaks, it doesn't have just one, but four. If you were to look down upon the Mountain of the Dead from the sky, you would discover something very interesting: the core of the Mountain of the Dead, which is also the very center of the entire Martial Soul Continent, contains four peaks reaching heights of seven thousand meters.

The height and location of these four peaks seem to have been deliberately arranged; each peak is exactly seven thousand meters high and faces the four cardinal directions, which is quite mysterious. These four peaks, known as East Heaven, South Heaven, West Heaven, and North Heaven, form the core circle of the Mountain Range of the Dead, protecting the true core of the mountain range within it.

Yes, just as the core of the Starry Sky Forest is not the core circle but the Lake of Life, the core of the Dead Mountain Range is not the core circle composed of the four peaks of the east, west, south, and north, but the valley surrounded by them.

If Four Heavenly Peaks is the highest point on the Martial Soul Continent, then Demon Emperor Valley, protected in the center by Four Heavenly Peaks, is the lowest point on the Martial Soul Continent. With the normal ground level as the boundary, the average elevation of Demon Emperor Valley is one thousand meters underground.

Zhu Ziyang and the others had never seen Demon Emperor Valley before, nor did they know what a thousand meters underground meant. However, they knew that Demon Emperor Valley must be the territory of that Demon Emperor, and the Four Heavenly Peaks next to Demon Emperor Valley were obviously the territories of the other four Beast Kings of the Dead Mountain Range. The direction they were heading was East Heavenly Peak.

Dongtian Peak is the territory of the Eighth Beast King, the Three-Headed Golden Lion King, who is the weakest of the Beast Kings in the Dead Mountain Range.

It took the four of them another day to reach the foot of Dongtian Peak. Here, Zhu Ziyang received the last guidance from the mark of the other shore flower. The scythe of the dead was indeed in the Demon Emperor Valley. The Demon Emperor was indeed related to the God of Death!

Zhu Ziyang relayed this information to Zhang Lexuan and the other two, saying, "It seems we're really going to run into this Demon Emperor!"

"Ziyang, what are your plans?" Zhang Lexuan asked with an extremely grave expression.

"Brother, let's retreat for now and come back when we're confident we can deal with the Demon Emperor!" Jiang Nannan suggested with a worried expression.

"Yes, yes! I think Nan Nan is right!" Qian Lingyi nodded and said, "Don't we still have four years? Four years is enough for you, brother, to break through to the Title Douluo level!"

"Hehe, you don't need to worry so much. It's just a soul beast with 800,000 points. Have you forgotten Zhang Weiwei?" Zhu Ziyang smiled and said after hearing the three women's worried remarks.

"Senior Zhang?" Zhang Lexuan and Jiang Nannan were stunned. They were very familiar with Zhang Weiwei. Although she was a level 97 Super Douluo, she was too far away to be of immediate help. Could it be that she had come with them as well? Zhang Lexuan looked surprised and asked, "Ziyang, could it be?"

"That's right!" Zhu Ziyang laughed. "Zhang Weiwei has actually been with us the whole time."

"This..." Zhang Lexuan and Jiang Nannan expressed their confusion, saying, "How could this be? Where is she?"

"Sister Lexuan, Nannan, who is this Zhang Weiwei you're talking about? Is she very capable?" Qian Lingyi didn't know Zhang Weiwei, so she was naturally full of doubt and curiosity. She asked.

"Yes! She is a level 97 Super Douluo. With her around, although we can't defeat the Demon Emperor, we can at least hold our own against him!" Jiang Nannan explained.

"A level 97 Super Douluo! Really?" Qian Lingyi exclaimed in surprise, "Then brother, hurry up and call her out!"

"No rush!" Zhu Ziyang said with a smile. "Before calling out Zhang Weiwei's name, let me introduce you to an elderly person."

As Zhu Ziyang spoke, he gently waved his hand, and a radiant spatial portal appeared before the three women. Then, Zhu Ziyang said, "Come with me!"

He was the first to step into the spatial gate. Although Jiang Nannan, Zhang Lexuan, and Qian Lingyi had doubts, they still stepped into the spatial gate without hesitation. With a flash of light, the four of them arrived in the Holy Law Demiplane.

"This, this is..." The three women couldn't help but open their mouths wide, looking at everything new and strange in the demiplane with incredulous eyes.

"This is my world, the Holy Law Demiplane!" Zhu Ziyang said proudly. "I will tell you about the origin of this demiplane later. Now, follow me."

Zhu Ziyang found Electrox, who was training the beings of light within the demiplane. Electrox wasn't surprised by Zhu Ziyang's arrival, but he was slightly taken aback when he saw Jiang Nannan and the other two women behind Zhu Ziyang. However, he quickly realized Zhu Ziyang's thoughts and gave a kind smile, saying, "Ziyang, you've come!"

"Teacher!" Zhu Ziyang called out with a smile, and then introduced to Jiang Nannan and the other two girls, "This is my teacher, Electrolux! You can call him Elder Electrolux."

The three women were shocked; they had never imagined that Zhu Ziyang had another teacher besides Mu En. Despite their many questions, they still greeted him respectfully, "Teacher Yi!"

"Haha, hello there!" Electrolux laughed. "This might be the first time you've met me, but it's not the first time I've met you. Your name is Nannan, your name is Lexuan, and your name is Yiyi, right?"

"The teacher is a deity from another world, but now only his soul remains. He was in my spiritual sea before, so he was able to recognize you. You don't need to be surprised," Zhu Ziyang explained with a smile, which dispelled some of the three women's doubts.

"A god...from another world?"

"Yes, our teacher is known as the Holy God of Necromancy in his world. This Holy Demiplane was created by our teacher. Zhang Weiwei is not a powerful figure I met by chance, but rather a former follower of our teacher." Zhu Ziyang explained to the three women. "Besides Zhang Weiwei, our teacher has four other followers, all of whom are Super Douluo-level powerhouses. With their help, dealing with the Demon Emperor should be much easier."

As they spoke, five powerful figures of light, led by the Templar Knight Komarco, appeared. They all bowed to Zhu Ziyang and shouted, "We pay our respects to our lord!"

Jiang Nannan, Zhang Lexuan, and Qian Lingyi were stunned by this sight. Zhang Lexuan, in particular, could sense that the strength of Kouma and his group of five far surpassed hers, yet they all bowed down before Zhu Ziyang with heartfelt admiration. This made Zhu Ziyang's image in Zhang Lexuan's mind even more lofty and awe-inspiring.

At the same time, Zhang Lexuan's worries dissipated considerably. With the addition of these five Super Douluo-level powerhouses, dealing with that Demon Emperor should be much easier for them.

Zhu Ziyang didn't say anything more. Instead, he led the three women and the five powerful figures of light away from the Holy Law Demiplane and returned to the foot of Dongtian Peak to begin arranging the next steps.

The plan was actually quite simple. With the addition of five powerful figures of light, although they couldn't defeat or even kill the Demon Emperor, they could at least hold him off, buying Zhu Ziyang enough time to subdue the Scythe of the Dead. Therefore, Zhu Ziyang's plan was straightforward: first, eliminate the three-headed golden lion kings of Dongtian Peak and seize control of the peak; then, lure the Demon Emperor from Demon Emperor Valley to Dongtian Peak and trap him using the Heavenly Stems Locking God Formation.

Yes, in order to deal with the Demon Emperor, Zhu Ziyang has used all his trump cards, even preparing to use the Heavenly Stems Locking God Formation.

The plan has a 70% success rate, with the 30% chance of failure depending on the Demon Emperor and the other three Beast Kings. However, the distance between the four peaks makes it unlikely that the other three Beast Kings will discover the anomaly at the Eastern Peak. The only possible unforeseen event is whether the Demon Emperor will leave Demon Emperor Valley.
