Douluo Continent: The Holy Evil Emperor.

Chapter 262 Not necessarily wise, but certainly astonishing.

"I am the Supreme Elder of the Holy Spirit Cult, a divine messenger under the command of the God of Asura, the Nightmare Douluo!"

Ye Qing raised his right hand high and flicked the black robe at his side with his left hand, giving a high-pitched and impassioned self-introduction.

He lowered his right hand, pointing his index and middle fingers at the Sea Princess, his face full of arrogance: "I didn't expect that even after severing your connection with the sea, you could still unleash such a powerful mental attack. But it's useless!"

"Demon Soul Devour!"

Ye Qing performed a backflip and jumped behind Dong Qianqiu, then waved his hand.

With a soul roar, Dong Qianqiu's immense soul power instantly condensed into a giant demonic soul great white shark composed of extreme darkness and ice attributes. Then, it rushed towards the sea princess along with the demonic soul bone shark king's main body, forming two sandwiches of cheese.

Even the Sea Princess couldn't unleash a devastating attack like that twice in a short period of time. And knowing that the opponent is a mage, why bother with this cannon-firing exchange?

Wouldn't it be better to leverage the powerful close-combat abilities of the Demon Soul Bone Shark King and use your strengths to attack the enemy's weaknesses?

As for Ye Qing's true form, there's even less to worry about. With Dong Qianqiu and Demon Soul Devourer flanking her from both sides, the Sea Princess, who is already weak in close combat, is too busy to defend herself. If she dares to attack Ye Qing and reveal an opening, Dong Qianqiu and Demon Soul Devourer can tear her throat apart.

As for why the Sea Princess's attack had no effect on Dong Qianqiu, it's quite simple.

For an attack to be effective, it has to actually hit the target first!

To put it simply, Dong Qianqiu is the collective soul of all members of the Demon Soul Great White Shark clan, with its core being its Undead Heart. This Undead Heart is protected at the very center by a massive magic array formed by all the soul bones of the Demon Soul Great White Shark clan.

It has no soul or spiritual sea at all; all its actions rely on the Heart of the Dead. To attack the Heart of the Dead, one must either dismantle its body or use divine consciousness at a god-like level.

Alternatively, one could be as skilled as Elex, adept at necromancy, and use soul fire to attack in order to defeat it.

The peerless puppet that Electrolux painstakingly created would not be so easily dealt with. In terms of mental strength, Dong Qianqiu was undoubtedly in an unselectable state below the god level.

Let alone the Sea Princess, even if the Evil Eye Tyrant Overlord came, he would have to dismantle its bones piece by piece according to the procedure.

They're not even from the same system. If you don't attack their weaknesses, how can you possibly inflict effective damage?

The sea princess suffered entirely from her lack of education.

She was now in a sorry state, having been attacked by Dong Qianqiu and Demon Soul Devourer. Her neat, sea-blue hair was now disheveled, and her body and fishtail were covered in injuries.

After all, they were suppressed by two domains and unable to communicate with the power of the sea.

If she could communicate with the ocean, her combat power would not be much weaker than that of the Snow Empress in the far north. However, without the power of the ocean, she would be nothing more than an ordinary, fragile mage-type Limit Douluo.

Once a berserker gets close, defeat and death are only a matter of time.

"Damn humans, I'll drag you down with me even if I die!" Realizing that she was already in an irreversible situation, the sea princess went mad and, despite being cut in half by Dong Qianqiu, once again condensed her azure trident.

"Sea Fury Halberd!!!"

puff-

As the Sea Princess unleashed her Sea Fury Halberd, Dong Qianqiu delivered an elbow strike, instantly tearing the Sea Princess apart with the scimitar on her bone claw, turning her into a 2.5 Princess.

Driven by the Sea Princess's final will before her death, the Sea Fury Halberd, with the force of a landslide, pierced towards Ye Qing's brow. This most powerful strike even tore a hole in the combined domains released by Ye Qing and Dong Qianqiu.

If Ye Qing were hit by this attack, given that his spiritual power is not yet fully formed and substantial, he would undoubtedly suffer a severe injury.

The tearing apart of the spiritual sea is a minor matter; even the soul might be torn apart.

At this point, Dong Qianqiu definitely wouldn't have enough time to return and protect Ye Qing; it's estimated that only Electrolux could protect him.

but……

Faced with a blow that could severely injure or even kill him, Ye Qing simply tore open the black robe on his chest, then raised the necklace hanging around his neck and placed it in front of him.

The unstoppable Sea Fury Halberd collided with the pendant the instant Ye Qing raised it.

then……

Gone.

The enormous, five-meter-long, sea-blue trident vanished without a trace, leaving not even a mark on the pendant.

The silvery-white dragon scales, radiating a seven-colored glow, remained bright and lustrous...

……

at the same time.

Deep within the Starry Sky Forest, in a dark, small space beneath the Lake of Life.

The silver-white dragon, which had been sleeping like a log, suddenly opened its purple vertical pupils, its eyes filled with rage. Then it opened its mouth and spewed out a sea-blue breath.

As you can see, a sea-blue trident formed from spiritual energy is gradually shattering amidst the breath.

"You bastard!"

The silver-white dragon is none other than Gu Yuena.

The Sea Princess's final, deadly attack, the Sea Fury Halberd, was transferred by Ye Qing using the Silver Dragon's Reverse Scale as a medium to Gu Yuena, who was sleeping at the time, and Chief Lao Gu was immediately awakened.

Not long after, Di Tian, ​​dressed in a black robe, also entered this space, his face somewhat grim.

"My lord, I have failed in my duty!"

Seeing Di Tian kneeling on one knee, Gu Yuena was furious, but she knew that this matter had nothing to do with him. After sensing it for a moment, she understood where the attack came from. It was transmitted remotely through the Silver Dragon's Reverse Scale.

The attack didn't originate from the Star Dou Great Forest at all, so no matter how much Di Tian tried to defend against it, it was useless.

"It has nothing to do with you, it's that human who wore my reverse scale!" Gu Yuena's tone returned to calm, but Di Tian, ​​who knew her extremely well, could still hear the gritted teeth in her words.

Di Tian opened his mouth, but didn't know what to say.

Gu Yuena ignored Di Tian's silence and instead asked about another matter: "How is the auspicious beast doing lately?"

"Your Majesty, the auspicious beast is doing well recently. It has not come into contact with any other humans, nor has it shown any urge to transform into human form," Di Tian replied.

"It seems that human did keep his promise." Gu Yuena nodded, her anger from being woken up subsiding somewhat.

According to the timeline, the auspicious beast should have been plotted against long ago, but under that human's manipulation, its fixed destiny has been completely altered, just like before.

"Di Tian, ​​I have some arrangements to make."

The Silver Dragon King, possessing extraordinary wisdom, inexplicably recalled a scene he had witnessed before. After a slight hesitation, he made a decision.

While this decision may not be wise, it is certainly groundbreaking.
