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

Chapter 176 The Evolving Blue Silver Emperor

Thinking of this, Deng Mu checked his Blue Silver Emperor status.

The Blue Silver Emperor was no longer what it used to be; its thick vines were now covered with a beautiful seven-colored halo.

The halo, like a lively flame, leaps and swirls freely along the veins of the vines, adding a touch of mystery and fantasy to the already powerful Blue Silver Emperor.

The vines are as tough as if they were cast from steel, yet their surfaces are smooth and delicate, as if they contain endless life force.

The leaves of the Blue Silver Emperor have also undergone tremendous changes.

The leaves became broad and long, with slightly curled edges, presenting an elegant yet dangerous arc.

The leaves are no longer a single color, but rather a gradient color that emanates from the inside out, gradually transitioning from emerald green at the center to golden yellow at the edges.

Deng Mu gently stroked the floating Blue Silver Emperor in his hand, his eyes filled with amazement and curiosity.

As he gazed at it, the gradient colors on the leaves seemed to come alive, flowing slowly, the blending and transition between colors becoming increasingly natural and fluid, like a vibrant oil painting.

As Deng Mu's gaze followed the veins of the leaf, he was surprised to find that these veins were shimmering with extremely subtle light, like a galaxy hidden inside the leaf.

Upon closer inspection, he discovered that the flashing frequency of these lights subtly matched his heartbeat.

Deng Mu tried to slow his breathing and adjust his heartbeat. The light in those veins also changed, and the flashing frequency became more soothing and regular.

Looking at the Blue Silver Emperor in his hand, Deng Mu knew that his Blue Silver Emperor was still evolving and would need quite some time to complete its evolution.

The reason for its evolution is due to the bloodline of the Dragon God and the creative power within its body.

After looking at the Blue Silver Emperor for a while, Deng Mu put it away.

At this moment, the Demon Emperor's aura had stabilized considerably. Although he had not fully recovered, he had regained most of his combat strength.

The Demon Emperor felt Deng Mu's gaze, lowered his head slightly, and a complex emotion flashed in his eyes, a mixture of fear of Deng Mu's powerful strength and helplessness about his own situation.

More than anything, she was unwilling to accept being enslaved by the descendants of her enemy, which made her life worse than death.

Deng Mu looked at the Demon Emperor and said, "Demon Emperor, I understand what you're thinking, but you can't blame anyone for your husband's death. In the Douluo Continent, strength is the only true measure of success."

If the Deep Sea Demon Whale King were innocent, he might have felt some sympathy for him, but the Deep Sea Demon Whale King died without any wrongdoing.

Both Tang San and the Deep Sea Demon Whale King wanted to kill each other, so there was no justice to speak of. In this situation, it was clear that Tang San's side was stronger.

Just because someone dies doesn't mean they are innocent and deserve sympathy.

For example, if two unforgivable sinners meet and both want to kill each other, and the stronger one wins, the one who is killed can only be said to have gotten what he deserved.

Of course, his words were somewhat sarcastic, since it wasn't his family member who died.

The Demon Emperor gritted his teeth, his body trembling slightly. The anger and resentment in his heart surged like a raging undercurrent, yet he had nowhere to vent it under the suppression of the soul contract.

She slowly raised her head, her eyes burning with resentment, and stared directly at Deng Mu: "You make it sound so easy! That's my husband, who has been with me for countless years. How can you judge him with just a few words!"

Deng Mu did not respond to the Demon Emperor's words.

The Demon Emperor paused, took a deep breath, and suppressed the surging emotions within him. His voice carried a hint of sorrow: "In this dog-eat-dog world, how could I not know the importance of strength? But how could I easily swallow this insult as I watched him perish? Now, I am even subject to the control of my enemy's descendants; this is worse than death for me."

She desperately wants to kill herself, but she can't move her body, and she's unwilling to die now.

She wanted to avenge her husband and protect her daughter, Lan Fuzi.

The Demon Emperor suppressed his grief and anger, a resolute glint flashing in his eyes.

She knew that if she acted rashly at this moment, she would not only fail to avenge her daughter, but would also implicate her.

Seeing her mother in such pain, Lan Fuzi's eyes reddened, and she gently comforted her, "Mother, don't be like this, we'll always find a way."

He knew in his heart that his mother was very sad because of his father's death and wanted to avenge him at all times.

She naturally missed her father, but she was aware of his actions, which put her in a dilemma: should she avenge her father or give up the idea of ​​revenge?

The Demon Emperor gently swayed his fish tail, signaling Lan Fuzi to rest assured, before refocusing his gaze on Deng Mu. "My grudge with you will never end here."

Hearing the Demon Emperor's words, Deng Mu simply smiled and said nothing.

He knew very well that the Demon Emperor didn't have the power to break the spell, mainly because no one in this world knew how.

If a god helps the Demon Emperor, the contract can be broken, but the price is damage to his soul.

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

Regardless of whether a god would help the Demon Emperor, even if a god did help him, the damage to his soul would be an unsolvable problem for him.

Deng Mu smiled and said, "Is it possible that I am not actually the other person, but merely possess their aura?"

Upon hearing Deng Mu's words, a hint of doubt flashed in the Demon Emperor's eyes, and his face, which had been full of resentment, revealed a look of inquiry.

"What do you mean by that? Stop trying to be mysterious." Her voice remained cold, but she couldn't help but try to find a flaw in Deng Mu's words.

She had a vague feeling that she had misunderstood, but the aura emanating from Deng Mu told her that she had not.

Deng Mu remained calm, meeting the Demon Emperor's scrutinizing gaze with unwavering composure, and slowly said, "I merely absorbed his aura; you've misunderstood."

"But between you and me, there is not only hatred and enslavement." Deng Mu's voice was deep and powerful. "If you put aside your prejudices and sincerely pledge allegiance to me, what I can give you will far exceed your imagination."

Upon hearing this, the Demon Emperor was jolted, and a struggle flashed in his eyes.

How could she so easily trust this person who was binding her?

However, the powerful and mysterious aura emanating from Deng Mu made her waver.

"Why should I believe you?" The Demon Emperor sneered, trying to conceal the turmoil in his heart.

Deng Mu replied, "I can grant you a drop of my blood. I could clearly feel the suppression my bloodline exerted on you before. Obtaining a drop of my blood would be of great help to you."

Upon hearing that Deng Mu intended to bestow a drop of blood upon him, the Demon Emperor became even more wary, yet he could not suppress the anticipation welling up from the depths of his heart.

She was naturally aware of the power of Deng Mu's bloodline. After all, the Deep Sea Demon Whale was one of the top beings in the ocean, and the ability to exert a suppressive force must be due to the bloodline of a certain god.

But she was absolutely certain that she wasn't the Sea God; the Sea God's suppression wasn't as terrifying as Deng Mu's bloodline suppression.
