Douluo Continent II: The Peerless Tang Sect: Starting with a Bond to God King Tang San

Chapter 173 The Legend of the Demon Emperor

Seeing this, Deng Mu manipulated the water element to construct an indestructible water shield around himself.

The water shield was so solid that even the powerful suction of the vortex couldn't shake it, like an ant trying to move a tree.

At the same time, the water on the surface of the water shield instantly condensed into countless sharp ice spikes, shooting towards the demonic dragon at the center of the vortex like a rain of pear blossom needles.

Deng Mu wanted to play with this demonic dragon and then subdue it for his own use, after all, it was a 100,000-year-old soul beast.

The demonic dragon sensed the approaching ice spikes and roared angrily. It swung its massive tail, creating a surging torrent that shattered most of the ice spikes.

However, a few ice spikes still managed to break through the defenses and pierce the demonic dragon's hard scales, causing it to shudder in pain.

A fierce glint flashed in the demonic dragon's blood-red eyes. It stopped attacking blindly and instead circled around Deng Mu, searching for an opening.

Deng Mu manipulated the wind element, forming invisible wind blades around himself. These wind blades spun rapidly in the seawater, cutting through everything around them.

The demonic dragon cautiously dodged the wind blades, while simultaneously opening its massive maw and spewing out clouds of black poisonous mist.

The toxic fog spread rapidly through the seawater, turning the water murky wherever it went. Small fish and shrimp died instantly, their bellies turned white, after only a slight contact.

Seeing this, Deng Mu simply smiled. Although the demonic dragon's poisonous mist was powerful, it posed no threat to him.

He manipulated the water element to condense a giant water sphere in front of him, absorbing all the poisonous mist into it.

Then, Deng Mu squeezed his hands together forcefully, and the water sphere shrank instantly, compressing the poisonous mist inside and preventing it from spreading.

Seeing that Deng Mu had so easily neutralized the poisonous mist, the demonic dragon was both shocked and furious. It twisted its massive body and charged toward Deng Mu at great speed, leaving a long trail of water in the sea.

Seeing the demonic dragon charging towards him, Deng Mu's right hand transformed into a dragon claw, its scales shimmering with seven-colored light.

The demonic dragon charged forward with unstoppable momentum, its surrounding seawater creating a massive torrent that seemed poised to completely engulf Deng Mu.

Just as the demonic dragon rushed close, Deng Mu neither dodged nor evaded, but instead swung out his dragon claw.

This seemingly simple gesture contains earth-shattering power.

A sharp, explosive sound rang out in the air, as if space itself had been torn apart by the attack.

The dragon claw, imbued with the supreme majesty of the dragon god, slammed heavily onto the head of the demonic dragon.

A deafening roar echoed through the deep sea, stunning the surrounding fish and causing rocks to shatter and fall from the seabed.

The massive body of the demonic dragon flew backward uncontrollably like a cannonball, carving a trench tens of meters wide in the seawater.

The demonic dragon's body tumbled and rolled, smashing countless coral reefs and boulders along the way, stirring up large amounts of murky mud and sand.

The demonic dragon crashed heavily onto the seabed, raising a cloud of dust.

Its eyes lost focus, its mind went blank, and it was completely stunned by the sudden slap.

His once fierce, blood-red eyes were now filled with deep fear and confusion.

The demonic dragon never imagined that this seemingly young human possessed such terrifying power.

Deng Mu slowly approached the demonic dragon; its dragon claws had returned to normal.

Although the demon dragon was not fully conscious, it instinctively sensed Deng Mu's approach and its body began to tremble uncontrollably.

"Are you willing to submit?" Deng Mu asked, looking at the demonic dragon.

The demonic dragon struggled to get up, but the attack had severely damaged its body, and every movement was accompanied by excruciating pain.

It understood that the humans before it possessed absolute power to crush it, and resistance would be futile.

The demonic dragon slowly lowered its head and let out a deep, helpless roar, indicating its willingness to submit.

Deng Mu nodded in satisfaction, reached out and touched the demonic dragon's forehead. A seven-colored light merged into the demonic dragon's body, planting a contract mark deep within its soul.

From that moment on, this 100,000-year-old deep-sea demon dragon became Deng Mu's most loyal partner.

Deng Mu used his second soul skill, Blue Silver Rejuvenation Technique, to heal the demonic dragon, while simultaneously asking it, "Demon dragon, tell me about the situation in the sea."

He was really curious about what was happening in the sea, how many hundred thousand-year-old soul beasts and ferocious beasts might be there.

It's important to know that there are many 100,000-year-old soul beasts and ferocious beasts on land. While the strength of those in the sea may not be comparable to those on land, their numbers are definitely greater.

Not a single mistake, not a single poem, not a single post, not a single piece of content, not a single look!

Nourished by the Blue Silver Rejuvenation Technique, the demonic dragon's wounds healed at a visible speed, and its originally dull scales gradually regained their luster.

It sensed the goodwill in Deng Mu's actions, and its fear of its new master was tempered with a newfound respect.

The demonic dragon slightly raised its head, its eyes filled with even greater awe, and respectfully said, "Master, in this deep sea, the most powerful clan I know of is the Demon Soul Great White Shark clan. They are the personal guards of the Sea God, protected by the Sea God, and their clan is full of powerful individuals."

Hearing the demon dragon's words, Deng Mu nodded to indicate that he understood.

He wasn't too surprised, considering that the Demon Soul Great White Shark King was the mount of the first Sea God and had a very good relationship with the second Sea God, Tang San.

As long as the Demon Soul Great White Shark clan doesn't do anything reckless, they are basically one of the strongest races in the sea.

However, it seems that the Demon Soul Great White Shark King was killed during the Battle of the Three Kingdoms period. He doesn't remember who did it, but it's not a big problem.

The demonic dragon continued, "There are also many hundred-thousand-year-old soul beasts and ferocious beasts in the deep sea. I don't know exactly how many, but the strongest among them is a demon emperor."

When Deng Mu heard the name Demon Emperor, he was taken aback. He remembered that the Demon Emperor was the wife of the Deep Sea Demon Whale King.

The Deep Sea Demon Whale King was defeated by Tang San, and the Demon Emperor was defeated by Tang Wulin, leaving only Lan Fuzi.

There's not much to say about their deaths; if they had been stronger, they wouldn't have been killed.

Deng Mu snapped out of his reverie and looked at the demonic dragon curiously, asking, "What else do you know about this Demon Emperor? Where is it now? Just how powerful is it?"

The demonic dragon trembled slightly, clearly still fearful of the Demon Emperor's presence. "Master, the Demon Emperor lies dormant in the Death Trench, the deepest part of the ocean, which is extremely dangerous. I have sensed its aura from a great distance. Even a trace of it made my blood seem to freeze and my soul tremble."

The thought of the Demon Emperor made the Demon Dragon tremble uncontrollably; it was a sign of its fear of the Demon Emperor.

Suppressing his fear, the demonic dragon tried to keep his voice steady as he continued, "Master, the Demon Emperor's strength is terrifying. Some ferocious beasts have dared to challenge him, but they were devoured in no time."
