novelDie, Ghost Emperor!
| ← Ch.1904 | Ch.1906 → |
Yali smiled coolly. Her gaze was filled with mockery as she looked at the Ghost Emperor."I said that I would have revenge for Brother Ming today. Die, Ghost Emperor!"
The incandescent white flames rose once again, but they appeared to have weakened. Nevertheless, the Ghost Emperor had also been severely weakened after the previous two rounds!
The people were watching the battle in amazement. The Ghost Emperor's body was bathed in the white fire, and a terrifying scream echoed across the battlefield.
If the Holy Spirit Douluo's act of burning herself was not enough to kill the quasigod, how about three Holy Spirit Douluos? Even if the Ghost Emperor was the superior fighter, there was nowhere for him to dodge within the narrow space. He was utterly incapable of evading three quasigods burning their lives alongside the incredible holy cleansing power. At last, he crumbled completely.
This time, the burning lasted for only a brief moment. After what seemed like a few seconds, the white flame dissipated. On the other hand, not even a fragment of the Ghost Emperor's bones remained. In fact, even his soul was cleansed away completely by the white flame.
The box they were in shattered soon afterward, and a spark of green radiance shot toward Tang Wulin all of a sudden.
Tang Wulin raised his hand instinctively and caught it in his palm. Immediately, a familiar aura blew toward him.
He was very familiar with that shade of green. It was the Life Subtree's leaf.
"Mother..." Tang Wulin called out with a shaky voice.
"My silly son, don't be sad. I've placed my soul on this leaf. Please attach it to the Atlas Divine Spear so I can be reunited with my Brother Ming at last. I'm already content because I got my revenge for him. Everything else is up to you now."
Yes, Yali died in the battle eventually. However, her soul did not burn to ashes as the Ghost Emperor had imagined.
Yali has been carrying a Life Subtree's leaf with her so that she could immortalize her soul. This was also why she could resurrect herself twice in succession. She placed her soul on the Life Subtree's leaf. The Ghost Emperor did not realize that because it was too well hidden.
However, a person's life force was still limited. After she burned her body and battle armor the first time, it was already an irreversible process. Her latter resurrections were only temporary reforming of her body so she could unleash her attack again. If she was burned to death during the first round, the Holy Spirit Douluo's body would still crumble not long after she reformed it.
She succeeded at last. Despite being weaker, she achieved victory by utilizing the limitations imposed by the Nine Palace Boxes. She burned the Ghost Emperor to death and succeeded in getting revenge for the Atlas Douluo Yun Ming. This had always been her heart's greatest wish and it was finally fulfilled.
The Holy Spirit Cult's Ghost Emperor was dead!
Shrek Academy's Holy Spirit Douluo Yali was dead!
Two more quasigods had fallen. This war was brutal beyond comparison!
Tang Wulin's body was trembling ever so slightly. His lips were tightly pursed to prevent himself from shedding tears. As the leader of the powerhouses of humanity's forces. He knew that he had to stay strong. There would certainly be fatalities in this war. The might of their enemies had ensured that. Yet, it was one thing to understand but a completely different thing to accept! Moreover, the deceased was his closest kin.
The Skycrosser Douluo and the Ferocious Wolf Douluo died in combat. The Holy Spirit Douluo fell in battle as well. The three great Limit Douluos had fallen.
While Yali passed away, the rest of the eight battles were also at full swing.
As Yali's Nine Palace Box was shattered, another Nine
Palace Box shattered as well. A gold-red silhouette emitting scorching blood essence came charging out from the box. The silhouette descended just like a deity. It was the Body Douluo A Ruheng!
His opponent was the Darkness Bell. If he could come out, it meant that the Darkness Bell must have been defeated.
The Darkness Bell possessed only a Hyper Douluo-ranked cultivation base. She did not stand a chance in this match because she was fighting against the Body Douluo with his Leakproof Golden Body.
The Nine Palace Boxes had albeit the battlefield, but it had also reduced the chance for every Hyper Douluo to evade attacks. It ensured that the battles would end quicker.
A Ruheng paid no attention to her attacks as he could simply endure them. The Body Douluo then unleashed his blazing hot blood essence and powerful attacks on the Darkness Bell.
The Darkness Bell was one of the four great heavenly kings of darkness that threatened Tang Wulin in the past. In the end, she was pulverized by A Ruheng and died on the spot.
What a waste that A Ruheng was incapable of helping the others even though he had already ended his battle due to the Nine Palace Boxes. He could only wait anxiously for the rest on the outside.
"Boom! Boom!" There were two more loud explosions. The father and son, Yuanen Zhentian and Yuanen Tiandang, charged out from the Nine Palace Boxes. Their opponents were relatively weaker abyssal kings. They combined their Titan Divine Punch with the power of their four-word battle armors to achieve victory without being harmed and defeated the opponents.
Tang Wulin's Golden Dragon Spear was already waiting. It swooped across the sky at once and devoured the abyssal energy.
Two more levels of the abyss collapsed soon afterward!
Four out of nine battles had already ended. It could be said that mankind's legion had a clear advantage. Had it not been for the Holy Spirit Douluo's death, there would have been a cause for celebration. The passing of Shrek Academy's older generation Limit Douluo, renowned for being the kindest person who ever lived, cast a shadow over everyone's heart.
Meanwhile, the other five battles were still being fought intensely. The observers shifted their attention to the battle between the Sage Monarch and Lan Muzi.
The other five battles consisted of Qiangu Dieting versus the Underworld Emperor Underworld King Douluo Ha Luosa, the Darkness Blood Demon versus Qiangu Dongfeng, and the Qilin Douluo Tong Yu versus an abyssal king. Wu Zhangkong was also fighting an abyssal monarch-ranked powerhouse and Lan Muzi was up against the Sage Monarch.
Qiangu Dieting and the Underworld Emperor were locked together in a struggle while the Darkness Blood Demon and Qiangu Dongfeng were considered a good match. Even though Qiangu Dongfeng lost an arm, he became a Limit Douluo earlier after all. The Darkness Blood Demon was overwhelmed when he fought against the Amorous Douluo before. Both parties were considered equally matched at the moment.
Tong Yu had gained the obvious upper hand, so it was only a matter of time before he won. The battle between Wu Zhangkong and the monarch-ranked powerhouse had yet to reveal the victor and loser after all this time. The only battle not going well was the fight between Lan Muzi and the Sage Monarch.
The Nine Palace Box was the Sage Monarch's domain. No one was more familiar with it than it was. Hence, almost all the pairings had been decided by it. Even though it could not control all of the pairings, it still had full control over its own opponent. Naturally, it chose the weakest opponent.
Lan Muzi had always been the senior disciple brother in the inner court of Shrek Academy with profound hidden skills. Before Tang Wulin entered Shrek Academy, he was considered a possible successor to the Sea God's Pavilion Master.
He was capable of making revolutionary elevations rapidly and his abilities were constantly improving as well. His fame was universally acclaimed by the members of the inner court and he had always been working hard for them.
His Sun Wood Saber was so powerful that he managed to defeat a powerhouse from the Spirit Pagoda in the past. Nevertheless, the opponent that he was fighting against at this point was truly too fearsome.
The Sage Monarch ranked fifth among the ten great abyssal monarch-ranked powerhouses. Its rank was even superior to the Abyssal Demon Puppet.
Judging purely based on fighting capability, it was not considered outstanding among the ten great monarchs, but it had incredible controlling skills. One should not forget that it was ranked fifth despite its entire clan comprising itself alone and no other clansmen!
The Spirit Monarch and Sage Monarch were the right-hand men of the Abyssal Sage King. The Spirit Monarch had died in battle, so the Sage Monarch could be seen as the second in command of the abyss.
The abyssal plane had always had a close relationship with the Holy Spirit Cult. In fact, the three rounds of decisive battles had actually been proposed by the Sage Monarch. Of course, it was proposed by the Sage Monarch in the name of the abyssal Sage King, but the humans were unaware of this.
