The War in Heavenly Soul
However, could the Holy Spirit Empire not see through Heavenly Soul's plans?
So why would they still lead a large army to do something so arduous and thankless?
Is the intention simply to announce that the mainland is attacking the Heavenly Soul Empire, so that they can free up some troops to attack other empires?
While this is certainly part of the reason, it is ultimately not the primary one.
Another reason is the contract between them and the Demon Empress.
Originally, the Demon Empress harbored great malice and distrust towards the human race because of Tang San's situation.
Even though they shared common interests, the Demon Empress was unwilling to cooperate with these Evil Soul Master so easily.
Otherwise, she might be stabbed by these people if she wasn't careful. She had no intention of dying before she avenged her husband.
However, not long after the conclusion of the Continental Elite Soul Master Tournament, the Holy Spirit Cult approached her again.
Then she was told some information that sent her blood pressure soaring: the Sea God had found a successor.
From the very First Generation Sea God, the Deep Sea Demon Whale Clan and the Sea God's lineage have been mortal enemies.
The First Generation Sea God blinded her husband in one eye because she couldn't subdue him.
Then, under the pretext of eliminating the Evil in the ocean, she had the successor Tang San kill her husband.
The hatred involved is absolutely irreconcilable.
Tang San, the second-generation Sea God, chose to be the successor, which means that Tang San has the same idea of leaving the Divine Realm as the First Generation Sea God.
The Demon Empress, unaware of the current situation in the Divine Realm, would certainly not allow Tang San to the Divine Realm just like that. Otherwise, where would she find Tang San to seek revenge later?
Although she has no hatred towards the new generation of the Sea God Inheritance, since she has chosen to inherit the Sea God's God Position, she must also inherit the cause and effect associated with it.
Besides, given Tang San's hypocritical and despicable nature, the successor he values is bound to be just as bad as he is! So what if he's dead?
This also gives her a chance to test whether she can fulfill her husband's original wish: to devour the Sea God's God Position and then achieve the status of Demon God.
Only by becoming a god would she be qualified to take revenge on Tang San, and only by becoming a god would she be qualified to resurrect her husband.
That is why she led many Sea Soul Beast who were dissatisfied with the sea Sea God to attack the Heavenly Soul Empire.
The main purpose was to lure out this successor of the Sea God. She believed that Tang San, like his predecessor, would definitely have designs on her Soul Ring.
Therefore, the successor will inevitably come to kill her, but this time she will not let Tang San's scheme succeed!
At this moment, the Demon Empress, filled with icy killing intent, looked down upon the battle situation in Skysea City.
Despite her alluring and enchanting beauty, no one dared to harbor any romantic feelings for her.
Anyone who sees her, the Demon Empress, will feel only one emotion: deep fear.
Just then, a giant of emerald green appeared on the battlefield. The moment the giant appeared, it raised its fist and attacked the Demon Empress.
However, facing this terrifying attack, the Demon Empress didn't even frown, simply saying calmly, "Dark Tide."
The dark blue light surged like a tide, forming a huge vortex that sucked the giant in.
Seeing this, the giant immediately unleashed even more Soul Power to break free from the vortex, but the Demon Empress seized the moment he was trapped and launched another attack, "Turbine Annihilation."
The dark blue light surrounding the Demon Empress began to compress violently, transforming Demon Empress into a cocoon of light. After that, the cocoon spun into a top, soaring upwards into the air. Then, the moment the giant broke free of the vortex, it transformed into a drill and crashed directly into the Demon Emperor.
The emerald green giant was immediately severely injured, and its body gradually began to shrink. The giant's true form was Du Busi Body Douluo Bu Si!
Seeing that Du Busi had already been severely injured by his attacks, the Demon Empress's icy voice echoed across the battlefield, "Du Busi, you ultimately cannot stop me!"
As soon as she finished speaking, a dark blue light burst forth from her body, transforming into a raging torrent of energy that surged towards Du Busi.
"Body Golden Body!" Du Busi knew he couldn't dodge the attack before him and could only rely on everything he had to defend against it.
Soon a golden light appeared around Du Busi, and at that moment the raging Du Busi crashed into him.
"Damn! Are these waves even stronger than what our Body Secret Art would withstand?"
Du Busi unleashed his full power, his Body Golden Body forming an indestructible golden barrier around him to resist the Demon Empress's terrifying offensive.
However, the Demon Empress's attack was like a monstrous wave, the shockwaves shaking the air, and the golden light barrier began to crack in the face of the dark blue light.
In the end, the golden light shattered Du Busi. He could only withstand the Demon Empress's terrifying attack with his bare body. Fortunately, he was Soul Master specialized in cultivating his physical body.
If an ordinary Limit Douluo were to withstand this attack without using his Soul Power, he would surely perish here. But he is different; he is Body Douluo!
No force understands the power of physical cultivation better than their Body Sect!
Du Busi clenched his teeth, his muscles tensed, and every vein in his body seemed to be surging with power.
He knew he had to withstand this attack; he absolutely could not die here, not only for the Heavenly Soul Empire and its people, but also for their Body Sect.
Although the Body Sect is still one of the top five powers in the world, it faces the same problem as Shrek Academy: a lack of capable leaders.
Once he dies, the Body Sect will lose its status as a national protector after this war, and will also be targeted by past enemies.
Therefore, for the sake of their overall survival, he absolutely cannot die!
"The Body Immortality! The Fist of Heaven and Earth!"
Du Busi's roar was deafening. His Soul Power surged, and emerald green light gathered around him, forming a huge fist shadow that seemed to contain infinite power and Destruction.
The fist and the giant wave collided, transforming into a massive shockwave that neutralized each other's power.
A hint of surprise flashed in the Demon Empress's eyes. "You've actually managed to hold on until now? I never imagined that a human could cultivate their physical body to this level?"
Her attack, Demon Abyss Howling Sea, is one of her most frequently used techniques. It involves unleashing Soul Power like a volcano, forcing the opponent to directly withstand an attack of highly compressed Soul Power.
Even if a normal Ferocious Beast- level Sea Soul Beast survives a single blow, it will be severely injured and have no strength to retaliate.
It would have been better if the Du Busi him; he had taken the hit head-on and then fought back with all his might the moment the attack began to weaken.
"Even so, you are at your last gasp," the Demon Empress said calmly. "Goodbye. It was quite a good way to while away the time in our battle."
After saying that, he prepared to deliver another blow to completely eliminate the Du Busi, but at that moment, a chill suddenly came.
"Is this snow?"
Soon, heavy snow began to fall from the sky. As the snow fell, the surrounding ocean quickly froze into ice, and countless Sea Soul Beast were caught in the blast and trapped in the solid ice.
Even with blood trickling from the corner of his mouth, Du Busi smiled at this moment; the reinforcements he had been waiting for had finally arrived!
