Tower Master Huo, Are You Still Not Going to Act?

Chen Xinjie clenched his fists slightly, and the instinctive sense of crisis that had been nagging at him finally had a clear answer.

His perception was never wrong. The Soul Power fluctuations flowing around the Demon Empress had completely transcended the level of Soul Power, carrying a profound and vast charm. It was definitely the aura of Divine Power.

Even though he had cultivated his Divine Power to the Divine Origin Realm, which was enough to rival the Demon Empress on a spiritual level, the difference in the essence of his Soul Power was an insurmountable chasm.

Quasi-God is ultimately just a "quasi" god. Faced with true God Level Soul Power, the solemnity and apprehension in his heart became increasingly clear.

However, before the Demon Empress could respond to his question, another sinister voice suddenly rang out from the sea below, hoarse and piercing, sending chills down one's spine.

"Hehehe, that's right, the Demon Empress of my Holy Spirit Cult has broken through the shackles in both Soul Power and Divine Power, and has already reached the God Level."

"If the Divine Realm still exists, she will be the only God on the Douluo Continent for the past ten thousand years!"

"Vast Sea Douluo, Douluo of Emotion, since you've delivered yourselves to our doorstep, then stay and become sacrifices for the Demon Empress's ascension to God Position. It would be your honor."

Chen Xinjie and Zang Xin both focused their gazes simultaneously and looked in the direction of the sound.

A figure slowly rose from beneath the sea, shrouded in a wide black robe, the hem of which fluttered in the sea breeze like swirling dark clouds.

Nine dark green skulls surrounded him, each with an empty mouth and an eerie green light emanating from its eye sockets, exuding a sinister aura, like nine pairs of eyes fixed on the people in the air.

With such distinctive attire and martial spirit, Chen Xinjie and Zang Xin recognized him almost immediately; he was none other than the Ghost Emperor of the Holy Spirit Cult.

The information from the Spirit Pagoda was indeed accurate; both the Demon Empress and the Ghost Emperor were located here.

Looking at the Ghost Emperor, Chen Xinjie sneered, "If the Divine Realm still existed, how could a mere Soul Beast become a god? And dare to become a god?!"

Upon hearing this, both the Ghost Emperor and the Demon Empress's expressions darkened.

Before they could react, a sharp shout suddenly came from behind, "Ghost Emperor!"

The voice, filled with barely suppressed hatred and murderous intent, instantly shattered the brief calm on the sea.

Holy Spirit Douluo Ya Li flew over swiftly, hovering in mid-air, her gaze piercing straight at the Ghost Emperor like a sharp blade.

That usually gentle and composed face was now filled with a ferocious ruthlessness, as if it wanted to devour its victims, and its eyes were churning with deep-seated anger.

The Ghost Emperor looked at Ya Li, showing no sign of nervousness whatsoever. Instead, he let out a strange laugh, his voice tinged with amusement. "Tsk tsk tsk, I didn't expect you to still be alive. Yun Ming is dead, what trouble can you possibly cause?"

Upon hearing this, Ya Li's eyes grew even colder. She said, word by word, "Today, I will avenge this blood debt for the Elder of Shrek Academy and Ming-ge."

With the Demon Empress, a genuine "God Level" powerhouse, by his side, the Ghost Emperor was now fearless. Faced with Ya Li's overwhelming hatred, he not only did not back down in the slightest, but became even more unscrupulous.

He glanced sideways at Ya Li, a mocking smile playing on his lips, his tone full of contempt and ridicule. "You, a Support Type Soul Master, dare to talk about revenge in front of me? You're truly overestimating yourself!"

"Whether it's overestimating oneself or not, you'll only know after trying."

Ya Li's voice wasn't loud, but it was as cold as ice.

As soon as she finished speaking, she suddenly raised the staff in her hand, and the pure white staff suddenly burst forth with a thick and holy radiance, enveloping her whole body, like a bright moon rising from the sea.

She muttered to herself, each word carrying a heavy, resolute meaning.

Immediately afterwards, the staff began to burn, and intense flames rose from its body, pure white with a hint of gold, shining like the sun, illuminating the surrounding seawater.

The radiance carried an incomparably holy purifying power, and as soon as it spread, it caused the Ghost Emperor's expression to change drastically.

He could no longer maintain his composure; a visible panic flashed in his eyes, and he shouted sharply, "Are you out of your mind? You've even ignited your martial spirit! Do you know the consequences of doing this?!"

Ya Li sneered, "What does it matter if I lose my Life God if it means killing you?"

Seeing this, Zang Xin could no longer hold back and could no longer stand idly by.

With a flick of his wrist, the Passionate Sword was in his hand, its blade flashing with a cold light and humming incessantly.

With a swift movement, he transformed into a streak of light, instantly appearing before the Ghost Emperor, his sword blade slashing down with chilling Soul Power.

Although Ya Li is Support Type Soul Master and not good at direct combat, her Martial Soul is born with an extreme holy attribute. For Evil Soul Master, that purifying power is a natural enemy.

Wherever the light reached, the dark green Soul Power surrounding the Ghost Emperor hissed and melted away layer by layer, like snow being doused with boiling water.

Furthermore, the Douluo of Emotion, a Limit Douluo, made a ruthless move, his sword energy crisscrossing, fraught with killing intent.

Even the Ghost Emperor could clearly feel the chill of death gathering from all directions.

However, at this critical moment, the Demon Empress finally made his move.

She raised her hand and pressed down, and a purplish-black Divine Power suddenly poured out from her palm, transforming into a condensed, almost tangible pillar of light that stood fiercely between Zang Xin and the Ghost Emperor.

The moment the Divine Power exploded, the massive shockwave forcefully repelled Zang Xin, who had already rushed in front of the Ghost Emperor. As the sword blade clashed with the purplish-black light, dazzling sparks and a deafening roar erupted.

The force tore a deep trench in the sea, and the waves surged to both sides, unable to close for Jiujiu.

A flash of madness suddenly appeared in the Demon Empress's eyes, and her cold and beautiful face was now slightly distorted, with purplish-black light churning deep within her pupils.

Her voice suddenly rose, carrying a long-suppressed catharsis and resentment. "You humans, you all deserve to die, you all must die!"

"I will use your fear, your resentment, your anger, your pain and helplessness... all the negative emotions you suppress in your hearts, to nourish and forge my Deity position!"

"I will use this world as my foundation, and the thoughts of all living beings as my guide, to create my own Divine Realm!"

These words sank into Chen Xinjie's heart as he listened to them.

The mad words of "creating Divine Realm" actually came from the mouth of someone who had just entered the God Level.

Chen Xinjie thought the other party was truly insane; creating one's own Divine Realm was no easy feat.

Even though the Demon Empress has ascended to the God Level, it is nothing short of a pipe dream for him to create a Divine Realm on his own.

Even as the Demon Empress's aura grew stronger, Chen Xinjie remained composed.

He was not unprepared for this trip; he possessed a divine artifact called the Sea God Helmet, a treasure passed down from his ancestors, capable of forcibly elevating him to the God Level in a short period of time.

However, the power of a divine artifact is ultimately not something one can cultivate oneself, so its burst cannot be sustained, and once the time limit is over, the backlash will be extremely severe.

Judging from the strength the Demon Empress just displayed, even if he briefly ascended to the God Level with the help of the Sea God Helmet, he would probably still find it difficult to confront this crazed Demon Empress head-on.

But Chen Xinjie did not immediately take out the Sea God Helmet. He took a deep breath and suddenly shouted, "Tower Master, now that things have come to this, aren't you going to make a move?"

The "Tower Master" he mentioned was naturally Huo Yuhao, the current Tower Master of the Spirit Pagoda.

In addition to the three Super Douluo, Chen Xinjie, Zang Xin, and Ya Li, the Sea God Legion also had another powerful figure accompanying them on this overseas expedition: Huo Yuhao.

However, since setting sail, Huo Yuhao has remained inside the warship and has not shown his face yet.

Chen Xinjie had already made his plans. Since the Spirit Pagoda could accurately pinpoint the hiding places of the Demon Empress and the Ghost Emperor, it was very likely that it also had some understanding of the Demon Empress's true strength.

Therefore, Chen Xinjie felt that Huo Yuhao's ability to remain calm even now might mean he had a way to deal with this Demon Empress.

After all, it was Huo Yuhao who took the initiative to come along on this trip to the open sea.

Given his status and cunning, he would never rashly take such a risk if he wasn't confident.
