Douluo Dalu II: The Peerless Tang Sect

Chapter 305 The Demon Emperor Walks into the Trap!

The Heavenly Stems Locking God Formation has been successfully set up.

Next, they needed to consider how to lure the Demon Emperor out and then into the Heavenly Stems Locking God Formation. Zhu Ziyang already had an idea for this, but it was quite risky. However, nothing ventured, nothing gained. He shared his idea with Zhang Lexuan and the five powerful figures of light.

"No, that's too dangerous!" Zhang Lexuan objected without hesitation after hearing this. "I disagree!"

"Sister Lexuan, I'm just informing you; I'm not asking for your opinion." Zhang Lexuan's reaction was exactly what Zhu Ziyang expected. He said, "This is the most likely way I can think of to lure out the Demon Emperor. Whether you agree or not, I'll do it!"

"Then why did you even tell me? Why didn't you just do it?" Zhang Lexuan said with a bitter smile after hearing Zhu Ziyang's words.

"Because I don't want to lie to you, and you'd find out sooner or later anyway. Rather than worrying about it later, I'd rather tell you so you can be mentally prepared!" Zhu Ziyang said with a smile. He stepped forward, put his arm around Zhang Lexuan's shoulder, and said, "Sister Lexuan, don't worry, I never do anything I'm not sure about!"

"Mmm!" Zhang Lexuan, held in Zhu Ziyang's arms, had no mind to dwell on their intimate contact. Her eyes were red as she said, "You must protect yourself as much as possible. If anything happens to you, I will go with you!"

"Haha! Just because of what you said, Sister Lexuan, I'm sure I can save my life!" Zhu Ziyang said with a laugh. Then, he looked at the five powerful figures of the Light and began to assign tasks.

Komarco, Roger, and Olivier were assigned to the northwest, south, and north directions respectively, naturally to prevent the Beast Kings of the other three Heavenly Peaks from attacking. Zhang Weiwei and Bemstar were kept by his side as the last line of defense. As for Zhang Lexuan, she was kept by Zhu Ziyang's side at her own insistence.

With everything ready, Zhu Ziyang stepped into the Heavenly Stems Locking God Array. Because the array had not yet been activated, the ten pillars standing there did not exhibit any supernatural characteristics.

After entering the center of the Heavenly Stems Locking God Array, Zhu Ziyang closed his eyes and silently recited the mantra. The mark of the other shore flower on his forehead instantly flashed, and an extremely special aura was released from the mark. That aura contained the majesty and supreme power of the gods, and slowly spread from Zhu Ziyang's side.

Zhu Ziyang's plan was simple: wasn't the Demon Emperor highly sensitive to the aura of gods? Then he would use the aura of gods to lure the Demon Emperor out. To this end, he directly used himself as bait, entering the Heavenly Stems Locking God Array and releasing the aura of the God of Death through the mark of the Other Shore Flower.

As it turned out, the Demon Emperor had an extremely strong ability to sense the aura of gods. As soon as Zhu Ziyang released a little bit of divine aura, the black mist above the Demon Emperor Valley instantly surged. Then, a terrifying majesty instantly filled the entire world. Zhu Ziyang felt as if a mountain was pressing down on his back, forcing him to go all out to resist this terrifying pressure.

The black mist dissipated, and the oppressive aura accumulated. A figure appeared in the sky above Demon Emperor Valley. The moment that figure appeared, the Four Heavenly Peaks seemed to shrink considerably. The figure moved lightly, not fast at all, but in the next second, he appeared in front of Zhu Ziyang.

Zhu Ziyang was probably the first being to come into such close contact with the Demon Emperor. The Demon Emperor's appearance amazed Zhu Ziyang. Words like cold, noble, stunning, and majestic flashed through Zhu Ziyang's mind, but none of them were enough to describe the amazement the Demon Emperor gave him.

The Witch of the Underworld, just like the Ice and Snow Maiden, is a humanoid spirit of heaven and earth!

The Demon Emperor's words immediately jolted Zhu Ziyang awake. Looking at the target so close at hand, Zhu Ziyang did not hesitate at all. With a thought, the Heavenly Stems Locking God Array was activated instantly.

The moment the Heavenly Stems Locking God Array was activated, the Demon Emperor sensed something was wrong. However, having never been defeated since birth, she did not take it seriously. After all, although the human boy in front of her carried the aura of a god, his strength was very weak. She could defeat him with a single finger. As for Zhang Lexuan and the others nearby, she paid them no heed.

The Demon Emperor now only wanted to know how the young man before her obtained his divine aura. She had had enough of the endless tribulations and wanted to take another step forward!

It can only be said that everything was a matter of fate. If the Demon Emperor hadn't been so arrogant, she wouldn't have been bound by the Heavenly Stems Locking God Array.

With the Heavenly Stems Locking God Array fully activated, the Demon Emperor finally panicked. In that instant, she could no longer feel her own power. It was as if in a flash, she had transformed from an invincible Demon Emperor into a weak woman with no strength to even kill a chicken. She had never experienced such extreme weakness and powerlessness, not even when she was born.

"You...I..." The Demon Emperor was at a loss, looking at Zhu Ziyang in a panic. Even if she was stupid, she knew that all of this was related to the boy in front of her. So she subconsciously reached out her hand, wanting to grab Zhu Ziyang.

However, at this moment, the identities of the two have already been switched. The powerless Demon Emperor is no less powerful than Zhu Ziyang, who is at the Soul Douluo level.

"Stop struggling!" Zhu Ziyang smiled slightly, easily grasping the Demon Emperor's small hand. Then, with a slight exertion, he subdued the Demon Emperor. He said, "This Heavenly Stem Locking God Formation is a powerful formation capable of trapping gods. Trapping a soul beast of your strength is a piece of cake, isn't it?"

As Zhu Ziyang spoke, he bound the Demon Emperor's hands and feet, rendering her unable to move and eliminating any possibility of her escaping the Heavenly Stems Locking God Formation. Although this possibility was smaller than finding a needle in a haystack, it was always better to be cautious. To be honest, Zhu Ziyang had never expected to capture the Demon Emperor so easily and quickly.

"Hmph!" Upon hearing Zhu Ziyang's words, the Demon Emperor's face turned extremely ugly. A sense of despair and sorrow rose in her heart. She never expected that she, a Demon Emperor, would perish in such a humiliating way. The more she thought about it, the more indignant and saddened she became. She snorted coldly, then closed her eyes, adopting an attitude of resignation to being killed at will.

Zhu Ziyang watched the Demon Emperor's actions, pondering how to deal with this 800,000-year-old soul beast. But before that, he needed to find out the whereabouts of the Scythe of the Dead from the Demon Emperor.

He said, "Demon Emperor, right? I want to know if the Scythe of the Dead is in your hands."

"..." The Demon Emperor closed his eyes, appearing indifferent and unwilling to speak or cooperate.

"Hehe!" Zhu Ziyang wasn't annoyed, but chuckled and said, "I could guess even if you didn't say it. It's probably in your Demon Emperor's Palace. After all, the Scythe of the Dead is the weapon of the Grim Reaper. Although you are a naturally born Witch of the Underworld, you are not qualified to touch the Scythe of the Dead. That's why you built a palace outside the Scythe of the Dead, trying to seal the death power emanating from the artifact, right?"

"You..." Zhu Ziyang's guess was correct. The Demon Emperor could no longer maintain his aloof attitude. He opened his eyes, his eyes filled with fear and confusion.

"Hehe, to be honest, I am the successor of the Grim Reaper. I've come here to reclaim the Scythe of the Dead," Zhu Ziyang said with a smile. "As for you, the Witch of the Underworld born from the Scythe of the Dead, you are indeed beyond my expectations. However, I might give you a chance to become my Soul Ring, and I can take you to the God Realm."

"Are you serious?" The Demon Emperor finally spoke, but his tone was full of mockery. He said, "To become your spirit ring, to help you become a god, and then you ascend to godhood with my spirit ring and spirit bone? Heh, laughable. If you want my spirit ring and spirit bone, just kill me. Why bother insulting me with words!"

"Heh!" Zhu Ziyang chuckled and said, "You misunderstood me, but it's not your fault."

With a thought, Xue Di appeared beside Zhu Ziyang.

The appearance of the Snow Empress immediately caught the attention of the Demon Emperor. She immediately realized that this little girl in white was a naturally born spiritual being, just like herself. However, the Snow Empress's state puzzled her greatly. Her spiritual state, which was between the body and the soul, was something she had never seen before.

"She is the Snow Empress, the Ice and Snow Maiden, and also my soul!" Zhu Ziyang introduced with a smile.

"Soul? What's that?" The Demon Emperor instantly grasped the key information in Zhu Ziyang's words and asked with a look of surprise.
