NOVEL SIMPLE Chapter 221: Deep Sea Demon Whale King, Hurry Up, I’m in a Rush
Chapter 221: Deep Sea Demon Whale King, Hurry Up, I'm in a Rush
The sky was dark and a purple moon emitted an eerie glow, with the air filled with the smell of sulfur. An ordinary person staying here for just a moment would feel suffocated.
The pitch-black ground was covered in dark red bloodstains.
Further away, winged demons resembling humans circled in the sky.
Ferocious hellhounds charged forward.
In addition, demons and imps were also engaged in battle.
They were determined to slaughter all the invaders from other dimensions!
These damned humans!
"Second Enforcer, this feels incredible! I can feel my potential rising, and the bottleneck that's troubled me for years is starting to loosen."
Serpent Spear Douluo laughed heartily, his eyes filled with excitement.
To ordinary people, the demon plane was not a good place. It was difficult to survive in this world.
But to a powerful soul master like him, it was a treasure trove.
As long as he killed the demons of this world, he could receive energy feedback through the golden leaf mark in his hand. He could clearly feel his physical functions and potential changing.
If this continued, breaking through his cultivation level was a small matter; his future achievements would be immeasurable.
"Then stop talking nonsense and kill more demons. That's the most practical thing to do. You're not the only one who has discovered these benefits; now everyone is fighting with all their might."
Golden Crocodile Douluo said, casually slaying a fire demon with the power of a soul douluo.
As the fire demon's life essence was devoured, a mysterious power grew within Golden Crocodile Douluo, making him close his eyes in comfort.
In his heart, a voice told him that as long as he continued fighting, it wouldn't be long before he could reach an unreachable realm.
Level 99, Titled Douluo was his dream!
Similarly, around him were thousands of soul masters of varying strength.
Although there were over ten thousand humans who came to the demon plane, many had already fallen, but those who remained had eyes filled with madness.
Where else could they find such a good deal, where killing demons could enhance their cultivation?
To stand out, this was the only chance.
After a long time.
The battle was nearing its end.
In this battle, humans lost five or six hundred soul masters.
The number of demons killed was ten times that of the humans.
This was expected.
After all, the portal opened in the territory of Demon Lord Alba.
Because Alba had previously invaded the Douluo Continent and had summoned all the powerful demons in his territory, and those demons died on the Douluo Continent, only weak demons remained in Alba's territory.
On the human side, there were several powerful Titled Douluo leading the team, along with many soul douluo and soul saints.
At this moment, they were an extremely powerful force. They were invincible in the territory, and to the surviving demons, it was a one-sided massacre.
Soon, each demon-occupied territory was cleared. Golden Crocodile Douluo made a rough count, and about 1500 soul masters had fallen.
Normally, this was a huge number. Before the demon invasion, such mass deaths of soul masters on the Douluo Continent were rare.
However, compared to their achievements, this was nothing. They had killed about 50,000 demons.
In any war, deaths are inevitable. Given the enormous casualty ratio, this was a huge victory for the human soul masters.
Moreover, the benefits everyone gained were immense. In just a few days, their overall strength had significantly increased.
Soul grandmasters on average advanced five levels.
Soul elders and soul kings on average advanced four levels.
Soul emperors and soul saints on average advanced two levels.
Even soul douluo on average advanced one level.
Undoubtedly, the higher the soul master's level, the less they advanced in levels, but the actual improvement was significant.
For a soul douluo level expert, advancing one level of soul power could take several years.
And for a soul grandmaster?
With decent talent, they could advance several levels in a year.
Comparatively, higher-level soul masters benefitted more.
So, despite more than 1500 soul masters burying their bones in the demon plane, the team's combat strength had not diminished due to everyone's cultivation improvement.
"Second Enforcer, now that the demons in Alba's territory have been almost completely cleared, what do we do next?"
On a black mountain peak, Serpent Spear Douluo approached and asked solemnly.
Golden Crocodile Douluo, looking into the distance, said, "Our next step is where our gaze leads, but some soul masters have likely reached their bottleneck and need to obtain soul rings, right?"
"Indeed," Serpent Spear Douluo nodded, "There are nearly a thousand of them, but most of them are soul grandmasters and soul elders. There are less than a hundred above the soul king level."
"Then let them go back to obtain their soul rings and return. The next step is to attack other demon lords' territories. The stronger our team, the better."
After a slight pause, Golden Crocodile Douluo added, "And ask if the Grand Enforcer can send more people, preferably strong ones, because the remaining demon lords should be as powerful as Alba."
"Understood, I'll give the orders right away."
Serpent Spear Douluo said and immediately left.
...
On the other side.
Douluo Continent.
Above the Demon Shark Sea, Qin Xiao's face showed a satisfied smile.
At this moment, the golden branch mark on his arm was glowing brightly, and a mysterious force was descending upon him, enhancing his cultivation, body, and spirit.
"So, this is the energy feedback from the plane's will? It feels pretty good."
Now that he had received the reward, he felt his efforts had not been in vain.
"Splash."
Suddenly, a huge column of water appeared on the turbulent sea.
Then a massive figure broke through the surface.
Qin Xiao couldn't help but smile at the sight.
Undoubtedly, this figure was the Deep Sea Demon Shark King.
"You finally arrived."
The Deep Sea Demon Shark King's voice echoed across the sea like thunder.
Qin Xiao could hear the excitement in his voice.
"Were you getting impatient?"
"How could I not be? You have no idea…"
"No, maybe you do. A few days ago, there was a disturbance on Sea God Island. The Sea God's successor successfully inherited the god position and fought a battle with an unknown deity. The final battlefield was in the Demon Shark Sea."
The Deep Sea Demon Shark King spoke with lingering fear.
In fact, when he mentioned this, he couldn't help but shudder.
At that time, he thought the Sea God's successor was coming for him, and he quickly hid in the seabed.
It was only after the opponent left that he dared to surface, but he only saw a vague figure from afar.
Qin Xiao couldn't help but secretly laugh. This guy looked brave but was actually quite timid.
However, it was understandable. The longer one lives, the more afraid of death they become.
He was curious, what would the Deep Sea Demon Shark King's reaction be if he found out his true identity one day?
Thinking about it made him a bit excited.
"Some things came up, but I'm here now, aren't I?"
"Yes, it's great that you're here. Are the arrangements in place for me to go to the demon plane for the hunt?"
The Deep Sea Demon Shark King asked eagerly.
In fact, he was a bit anxious inside; he felt that the Douluo Continent was no longer safe.
With his enemies having successors who surpassed his cultivation level, he knew he was in danger if he didn't improve his strength.
Leaving the Douluo Continent to quickly enhance his power was an urgent matter for him.
"Yes, the preparations are ready. But before that, I have some things to explain…"
"You don't need to say it, I understand. Don't worry, as long as they don't provoke me, I promise not to harm any innocent humans.
And within my capabilities, as long as it doesn't cross my bottom line, I can even help you with some things."
Before Qin Xiao could state his conditions, the Deep Sea Demon Shark King started answering.
Haha, it seems that some people don't realize what they can do until they are pushed… Qin Xiao thought happily.
Compared to last time, the Deep Sea Demon Shark King's attitude was much better. The reason was obvious; the Sea God's inheritance had made him feel a strong sense of crisis.
Am I helping myself inadvertently?
"Why are you silent?"
"I'm telling you not to go too far. If you want me to do something right now… I'll only help you with two tasks at most…"
Seeing Qin Xiao not responding, the Deep Sea Demon Shark King spoke again.
"Alright, you said it. I'll tell you what to do when I've thought it through…"
Qin Xiao took out a golden leaf.
He had activated it with the Sea God's divine power, and he could produce many more with his divine power.
"What is this?"
The Deep Sea Demon Shark King didn't take it immediately. Instead, he asked Qin Xiao cautiously.
He sensed a powerful aura from the golden leaf, which made him wary.
No matter how urgent he was, he wouldn't take risks blindly. He wouldn't use something without understanding it first.
"This is a mark from this world. Everyone who goes to the demon plane has refined one of these marks."
"What benefits will I get?"
Clearly, the Deep Sea Demon Shark King was not one to act without seeing the reward.
"Of course, you'll receive the protection of the plane's will. In critical moments, I can provide you some assistance. If you refine it, you'll be safer in crises when no one else can help you."
Qin Xiao said, mixing truth and falsehood.
He certainly wouldn't tell the Deep Sea Demon Shark King that refining the golden leaf would allow him to exploit him.
After some hesitation, the Deep Sea Demon Shark King opened his mouth and swallowed the golden leaf.
Immediately, Qin Xiao saw a golden mark flash across the Deep Sea Demon Shark King's forehead.
"Is this enough?"
"Can you transform into a human form?"
"Of course, I just didn't bother to do it before."
The Deep Sea Demon Shark King said, releasing powerful soul power that formed purple light around him, enveloping him.
Qin Xiao squinted slightly, and moments later, the purple light dissipated, revealing a man in purple armor.
"How about this?"
The Deep Sea Demon Shark King asked, looking at Qin Xiao.
Qin Xiao nodded, "Let's go, I'll take you to Spirit City…"
…
Meanwhile.
A thousand miles away.
The Spirit Emperor stealthily infiltrated a human city.
Compared to his low profile, Demon Lord Alba's behavior was utterly arrogant.
As a powerful spirit master with god-level mental strength, it wasn't difficult for the Spirit Emperor to gather information about the Douluo Continent.
"Martial spirits, soul masters"
"And the chaos in Spirit City."
The Spirit Emperor learned a lot, gradually frowning and growing angrier.
"The native god of the Douluo Continent is a fool. What's in his head? He's actually relying on those demons from the demon plane to help him reshuffle the cards. Now, the forces on the Douluo Continent are starting to unite."
"A world that was once a loose sand has, thanks to his help, become a solid block. Conquering this world has become much harder."
The more the Spirit Emperor thought about it, the angrier he became.
He almost cursed out loud.
If that native god had cooperated with the Abyss Plane from the start, none of this would have happened.
He felt as if he had swallowed a dead fly, utterly disgusted.
However, this was a small city. Though it had some soul masters, they weren't very strong and only knew a bit more than ordinary people.
"To learn more, I'll need to go to a bigger city and find stronger soul masters."
Thinking this, the Spirit Emperor's mind conjured the names of several cities.
Heaven Dou, Star Luo, and Spirit City.
After careful consideration, the Spirit Emperor decided, "I'll go to Spirit City. It's known as the holy land of soul masters, with many strong individuals and the most comprehensive information.
With my strength, I can hide myself, and even the Grand Enforcer in Spirit City won't detect me."
Having made up his mind, the Spirit Emperor slowly disappeared from his original spot.
Two days later.
The Deep Sea Demon Shark King gazed at the magnificent city ahead, feeling somewhat dazed, "Is this the holy land of human soul masters, Spirit City?"
"Have you heard of it?" Qin Xiao asked with a faint smile.
The Deep Sea Demon Shark King, in his human form, looked displeased, "Who do you think you're underestimating? Even if I haven't been here, I've heard many passing human soul masters talk about the Douluo Continent. Spirit City is a place many soul masters yearn for."
"Is that so?" Qin Xiao nodded, then asked, "I'm curious, what happened to those passing soul masters?"
"What do you think? Of course, they…" the Deep Sea Demon Shark King paused, realizing something, and changed his words, "Of course, they went where they needed to go."
"Do you think I believe that?"
"Believe it or not."
The Deep Sea Demon Shark King said, suddenly looking toward Spirit City, frowning, "Hey, someone's coming, and it's a Titled Douluo."
