Douluo Dalu II: The Peerless Tang Sect

Chapter 311 Demon Emperor: Am I ungrateful?

Under the watchful eyes of Zhu Ziyang and the others, a deep blue whale nearly two hundred meters long burst out of the water. Its appearance was not much different from the previous deep-sea demon whale. The only difference was that compared to this deep-sea demon whale, the one with five hundred thousand years of cultivation was like a cub.

"This!" Zhu Ziyang stared in shock at the deep-sea demon whale, exclaiming, "A 900,000-year-old deep-sea demon whale!"

Once a member of the Deep Sea Demon Whale clan reaches a cultivation level of 100,000, their body length increases by 10 meters for every 100,000 years of cultivation. The Deep Sea Demon Whale in front of us is over 190 meters long, approaching 200 meters, so its cultivation level must be over 900,000 years!

"How is this possible?" Xue Di and Bing Di were also shocked. "Is the Deep Sea Demon Whale really so favored?"

Clearly, they were all thinking of the Deep Sea Demon Whale King that was killed by the Sea God Tang San ten thousand years ago. The Deep Sea Demon Whale King, known as a million-year soul beast, left a deep impression on them!

"Now is not the time to ponder these things!" Zhu Ziyang also thought of the Deep Sea Demon Whale King from ten thousand years ago, but he had no interest in delving into the connection. He said, "Let's deal with this Deep Sea Demon Whale King properly first!"

A soul beast with 900,000 years of cultivation is beyond their ability to deal with in a one-on-one fight. Upon hearing Zhu Ziyang's shout, the soul spirits immediately understood his idea and nodded in agreement.

The deep-sea demon whale king had no intention of letting Zhu Ziyang and the others discuss countermeasures; all she wanted now was to kill these fools who dared to harm her daughter. So, she roared, and a six-pointed star array appeared above her head. From within the array shot a purple-gold beam of light, radiating terrifying pressure, which hurtled towards Zhu Ziyang and the others.

Faced with the Deep Sea Demon Whale King's proactive attack, Zhu Ziyang immediately retaliated. He suddenly swung out a golden blade of light with the Jing Shi Xiu Ming Scythe. The blade of light was filled with extreme light and collided with the purple-gold beam of light shot out by the Deep Sea Demon Whale King. A terrifying explosion was generated, causing the seawater around the explosion to boil instantly.

The Demon Emperor, Snow Emperor, Ice Emperor, and Second Frost were not idle either. When Zhu Ziyang counterattacked, they also made their moves at the same time, unleashing the Yellow Spring Finger, the Emperor Sword, the Ice Emperor's Claw, and the Dragon King's Claw, which landed on the huge body of the Deep Sea Demon Whale King.

"Ah!" The Deep Sea Demon Whale Queen let out a miserable scream as she was struck by the attacks of the four spirits. This made her furious, but also made her realize that she could no longer fight in her original form.

Without hesitation, in a flash of purple light, the massive body of the Deep Sea Demon Whale King vanished, replaced by a woman in magnificent purple robes standing proudly in the air. Her face was icy, her purple eyes filled with indifference and rage. Her red lips parted slightly as she spoke, "Who are you? I, the Demon Emperor, do not kill nameless nobodies!"

"Demon Emperor?" Zhu Ziyang was taken aback, not expecting the Deep Sea Demon Whale King to have such a title. However, he didn't pay much attention to it; after all, it was normal for a nine-hundred-thousand-year-old soul beast king to have a title. He said, "Why all the nonsense?"

Without hesitation, he raised the Life-Saving Scythe high into the sky, unleashing his third soul skill. Countless meteors ripped through the void, hurtling towards the Demon Emperor. Seeing this, the Demon Emperor, Snow Emperor, Ice Emperor, and Second Frost also launched their attacks on the Demon Emperor simultaneously.

Seeing Zhu Ziyang's arrogance, the Demon Emperor was taken aback. She immediately raised her hands, and purple-gold energy emanated from her body, then quickly spun into a huge, high-speed vortex. The vortex had a strong gravitational pull, and actually gathered all of Zhu Ziyang's third soul skill, Meteorite, into it.

Immediately afterwards, the Demon Emperor waved his hands, and these meteors flew towards the Demon Emperor, Snow Emperor, and other souls like a shower of flowers from a celestial maiden.

The Demon Emperor and the Snow Empress moved nimbly, easily dodging the bright meteors and approaching the Demon Emperor. They then attacked simultaneously, with the Demon Emperor striking the Demon Emperor's right side and the Snow Empress attacking his left side. This simultaneous attack from the left and right immediately caused the Demon Emperor to show a look of fear.

The Demon Emperor immediately withdrew her hands, placing one on each side to defend against the attacks of the Demon Emperor and the Snow Emperor. To be honest, the Demon Emperor could underestimate Zhu Ziyang, since she only sensed the aura of an ordinary Title Douluo from him. However, she dared not underestimate the Snow Emperor and the Demon Emperor. These two, one with 800,000 and the other with 700,000, were absolute rulers, whether on the sea or the continent!

She couldn't understand where these two top-tier beast kings came from, or why they were obeying that human boy's orders. If they could be used by her, they would be of great help to her plans. What a pity!

Thinking this, the Demon Emperor repelled the Snow Emperor with one hand, and with the other hand, a purple-gold fish-fin blade instantly materialized, slashing fiercely at the Demon Emperor. The Demon Emperor was greatly shocked and immediately took a step back, dodging the Demon Emperor's blade strike.

Ice Emperor and Second Frost were not idle either. After the Demon Emperor repelled Snow Emperor and Demon Emperor, an extremely cold ray of light rushed towards her abdomen, and a huge iceberg rose from her feet.

The Demon Empress was preoccupied with fending off the Demon Emperor and the Snow Emperor, and was completely unprepared for the attacks of the Ice Emperor and the Second Frost. The Ice Emperor's icy rays struck her abdomen; the immense impact, while not causing substantial damage, still forced her back several steps. The Second Frost's iceberg followed immediately, piercing through her from beneath her feet and instantly freezing her inside.

The Demon Emperor, who was briefly under control, will then be subjected to a series of attacks from the Demon Emperor, Snow Emperor, Ice Emperor, and Second Frost. Zhu Ziyang simply chooses to stay off the battlefield and wait to deliver the final blow.

Although the Demon Emperor was a demon beast with 900,000 years of cultivation, it had not yet reached a million years. It was true that there was a gap between it and the Demon Emperor and the Snow Emperor, but the gap was not as wide as an insurmountable chasm. Moreover, it was four against one, how could they possibly lose?

The Demon Emperor was clearly aware of this as well. After being besieged by the four spirits of Quanxue and Bingshuang for a period of time, she was injured and realized that she could not continue like this, so she had the idea of ​​retreating.

So she fought and retreated, gradually approaching the sea. Once she entered the sea, it would be her home ground, and she would be much more at ease whether to continue fighting or retreat.

Honestly, she regretted leaving the sea to fight in the air. If she had fought in the sea, those four traitorous soul beasts would have been no match for her. What a miscalculation!

Zhu Ziyang, who was constantly monitoring the battlefield, sensed the Demon Emperor's intentions. A smile appeared on his face, and he said coldly, "Trying to leave? Too late!"

Without hesitation, Zhu Ziyang's ninth soul ring flew out from behind him, and the Jing Shi Xiu Ming Scythe immediately emitted a grayish-white light. A gray sphere appeared in the center of the ring blade. The sphere continuously accumulated energy, slowly growing larger, and finally merged tightly with the ring blade. The gray sphere also turned black. With a slight movement of Zhu Ziyang's hand holding the Jing Shi Xiu Ming Scythe, the black sphere immediately flew out.

The sphere moved at a moderate pace, swaying up and down, showing no sign of threat. Yet, this black, wobbly sphere approached the Demon Emperor with ease, and by the time she noticed, it was less than half a meter away.

The Demon Emperor's heart sank. Just as he was about to knock the black ball away, the black ball suddenly changed, expanding rapidly at a speed that left the Demon Emperor dumbfounded. It quickly expanded to the size of a person and then absorbed the Demon Emperor into it.

The ninth soul ring of the Jing Shi Xiu Ming Scythe, its first soul skill is Xiu Ming Dark Heaven!

The black sphere continued to expand, and the Demon Emperor, Snow Emperor, Ice Emperor, and Second Frost quickly retreated to make room for its growth. Before long, the black sphere had expanded to a size large enough to contain the Demon Emperor's true form. Black currents swirled around the sphere, and the surrounding seawater was completely stained by these black currents, making death and darkness the dominant colors of this sea area.

About fifteen minutes later, the black sphere shattered, revealing the Demon Emperor inside. By this time, the Demon Emperor had already reverted to his true form, his body covered in wounds, his aura extremely weak, and the anger in his eyes replaced by fear. He stared at Zhu Ziyang weakly and helplessly.

The Dark Sky of Death is a single-target control-type soul skill that can trap the opponent in a space composed of death and darkness, and continuously drain its life force and soul power. If the opponent is weak, they may even be trapped and die inside.

The Demon Emperor is currently in this state. Her life force and soul power have been reduced by nearly 70% by the Dark Heaven of Resurrection, leaving her extremely weak. Without a hundred or two hundred years of recuperation, she will likely find it difficult to return to her peak. Therefore, at this moment, she has only one thought left: escape, escape as far as possible.

However, Zhu Ziyang did not let her idea go. Although the Demon Emperor's abilities and attributes did not match his, the value of a soul ring for a soul beast with a cultivation level of over 500,000 already surpassed its attributes and abilities, let alone a soul beast with a cultivation level of 900,000. It just so happened that his Heavenly Frost White Dragon King Martial Soul was still missing one soul ring, and this Demon Emperor was quite good.

Thinking this, Zhu Ziyang had the four spirits of the Snow Emperor surround the Demon Emperor to prevent her from escaping, while he himself held the World-Soothing Scythe, preparing to deliver the final blow to the Demon Emperor who had cultivated for nine hundred thousand years.

The Demon Emperor looked at Zhu Ziyang walking towards him and closed his eyes as if resigned to his fate.

"Please, don't kill my mother!" A blue-haired girl suddenly appeared in front of the Demon Emperor's huge body, spreading her arms to shield him, and pleaded with Zhu Ziyang.

The girl who suddenly appeared had blood on her right shoulder; clearly, she was the deep-sea demon whale with 500,000 years of cultivation that had just escaped.

Faced with the Demon Whale Girl's plea, Zhu Ziyang's face was heavy. He did not answer, nor could he answer, because the moment the Demon Whale Girl appeared, the mark of the other shore flower on Zhu Ziyang's forehead flickered. He immediately sensed that a mysterious presence had appeared in this sea area.

As if to confirm his words, an indescribable voice entered his ears: "For my sake, please spare this ungrateful beast!"
