The Threat of the Possession Demons

The Ghost Emperor, who was fighting against the Passionate Douluo, suddenly coughed up a mouthful of blood, glanced at the distance with a solemn expression, and then quickly disappeared into the void without a trace, amidst the Passionate Douluo's puzzled gaze.

If it were Quasi-God, even one at the Peak Quasi-God, the Ghost Emperor would dare to challenge them and test the current strength of the Douluo Continent.

But the Divine Origin Realm —that's a realm where one has stepped into the God Realm. He's not some ignorant Limit Douluo; going up there would just be suicide.

As the Passionate Douluo secretly became wary, he suddenly realized that the sky behind him had been illuminated.

To be precise, it was stained white by ice and snow.

A blizzard swept across an unknown distance, its chilling cold spreading far and wide. People within a radius of dozens of kilometers, whether engaged in battle or having just finished, felt the biting chill and turned their attention to the blizzard.

"They escaped really fast."

Gu Yuena glanced at Huo Yuhao's location, then looked at the fleeing enemies, her brows furrowing slightly.

To prevent the powerful members of the Douluo Federation delegation from backing down, the Holy Spirit Cult prepared high-end combat forces that were nearly equal to those of the Douluo Federation.

However, this is ultimately the territory of the Star Luo Empire and the Holy Spirit Cult. The subtle surveillance from the surroundings clearly indicates that someone is monitoring this place using Soul Skill or Soul Tool. Revealing one's true form to kill a Super Douluo would be detrimental to the overall situation, so let her go for now.

After a moment's thought, Gu Yuena remembered the hidden deity about whom she didn't know much, and ultimately ignored the Super Douluo was fleeing in panic, turning around and disappearing into the void.

On another battlefield, the Soul Suppressing Douluo, after his initial surprise, also approached that direction.

As for his opponents?

He is still alive, but those who know him well know that some people are still alive, but in reality, they are already dead.

With a crisp cracking sound as ice crystals shattered, time and space froze.

The Ghost Emperor's clone remained frozen in ice, his expression one of shock and rage, Bone Dragon Douluo's Soul Power fluctuations were forever frozen at the moment of their eruption.

The next moment, the ice shattered, and everything inside turned into ice shards, scattered across the ravaged land.

This is what Gu Yuena saw when she arrived.

"They even sent a Quasi-God's clone----"

Gu Yuena frowned slightly, subconsciously looking Huo Yuhao over. After confirming that he was alright, she came to his side, exchanged a glance with Snow Empress, and looked at the ice block on Huo Yuhao's palm together.

"Yuhao, what's this?"

Inside the ice block was a strange bead about half the size of an eyeball, with a strange spiritual fluctuation flowing across it.

"The one-time-use Divine Tool the Holy Spirit Cult planned to use to control me has been destroyed by the Snow Empress; only these remnants remain."

Huo Yuhao shifted his gaze, his eyes lingering for a moment on Gu Yuena's spotless dress. "You didn't encounter any unexpected enemies, did you?"

"There's only one Three-Word Battle Armor Master, nothing like the excitement here." Gu Yuena smiled, her gaze still fixed on the Soul Devouring Eye. "It can control you Spirit Domain Realm?"

Huo Yuhao nodded, "Even a Limit Douluo could fall under its control if they're not careful. My guess is that the raw material for that Divine Tool is probably a kind of Abyss Creatures — Possession Demon!"

"Possession Demon?!"

Upon hearing these three words, the Soul Suppressing Douluo, who had just broken through the space and also arrived at this place, changed his expression slightly.

Possession Demon are among the most dangerous Abyss Creatures. They can absorb most energy and use it for their own purposes, and they only fear Life energy. Therefore, most attacks from soul masters are useless against them.

Its most troublesome ability is possession. Those with Divine Power below the Spirit Domain Realm have no way to resist, and those in the Spirit Domain Realm need to fight with all their might to break free from its control.

In the war against the Abyss Plane Thousand Years, the losses of powerful beings caused by Possession Demon were the greatest.

Although the Federation has now found a way to use crystals derived from Life energy to counter the Possession Demon, Life crystals are not common on Douluo Star, where resources are becoming increasingly scarce.

Life Crystals, as an important strategic resource, are mainly concentrated on the front line against the Abyss — the Blood God Legion's stronghold. Ordinary people wouldn't use them to guard against Possession Demon.

If the Possession Demon escapes from the Abyss Passage ----

The Soul Suppressing Douluo took a deep breath, stepped forward to the group, nodded to Snow Empress in greeting, inquired about what had happened, and then looked at Huo Yuhao.

"Can you confirm it's Possession Demon?"

"Absorbing Divine Power and Soul Power, immune to physical impacts—these characteristics are very similar to those of the Possession Demon described in the records."

Huo Yuhao didn't say much, and directly handed the Soul Devouring Eye to the Soul Suppressing Douluo for viewing.

The latter melted the ice, carefully sensing its essence, and finally sighed with a solemn expression.

"That's right, there is definitely the aura of Abyss Creatures inside."

He had fought against Abyss Creatures and sensed their presence, so he was certain that this was made by Abyss Creatures.

After confirming the matter, Soul Suppressing Douluo raised his hand and returned the Soul Devouring Eye to Huo Yuhao, his mind filled with doubts.

Abyss Creatures are unique to the Abyss Plane, and the passage between the Abyss Plane and our plane is in the Douluo Continent, guarded by the Blood God Legion. How did they bypass the Blood God Legion and obtain the Possession Demon?

The area near the Abyss Passage is the Blood God Legion's stronghold, which is not a safe place. The Holy Spirit Cult could probably only have successfully infiltrated that area by taking advantage of the chaos during their attack on the Abyss Plane.

How did the Holy Spirit Cult obtain such a rare Abyss Creatures without the Blood God Legion noticing? Tenten Limit Douluo staking out the area every day? Or were there traitors within the Blood God Legion's higher-ups?

This joke isn't funny.

Moreover, the nature of Possession Demon makes them difficult to capture, let alone forge into Divine Tool.

unless----

The Soul Suppressing Douluo's expression was somewhat grim. "To utilize the Possession Demon, it would require the Possession Demon to willingly serve the Holy Spirit Cult. In other words, the Holy Spirit Cult and the Abyss Plane have some kind of connection, or even have reached a cooperation agreement!"

This is the worst-case scenario. The fact that a traitor has emerged from Douluo Star means that the Abyss Plane has other ways to invade the Douluo Plane!

"If we consider this perspective, the Holy Spirit Cult, with the Abyss's assistance, would be like a tiger with wings if it wanted to do anything in the Federation. Even the Holy Spirit Cult's previous attacks on the Federation can be explained by this."

Huo Yuhao's eyes flickered slightly as he pondered, "The roots of the Holy Spirit Cult have been destroyed by the Federation. They have no intelligence system in the Douluo Federation, yet they precisely destroyed important strongholds of the Federation —before, we only suspected that someone was providing them with intelligence, but now there is another possibility."

There might be Possession Demon among the Federation high command, providing assistance to the Holy Spirit Cult!

Unlike its original development, the Holy Spirit Cult was eliminated by the Federation early on. The Federation, having eliminated internal conflicts, became even more terrifyingly powerful.

If the Abyss wants the Holy Spirit Cult to help them expand the Abyss Passage, they certainly won't succeed without personally contributing and offering the Holy Spirit Cult some incentives.

A group of Possession Demon who came into the Douluo Plane from the Abyss Passage are undoubtedly the greatest help to the Holy Spirit Cult, but also the greatest threat to the Federation!
