Chapter 2511: Return to the Past_1
After returning to the Holy Spirit Cult's Douling Empire branch, the Ghost Emperor undoubtedly flew into a mighty rage, "A mere Emperor of the Dou Ling Empire dares to blackmail our Holy Spirit Cult, damn it! The guy deserves to die!!"
Had there not been several Ultimate Douluo present at the time, he would have definitely taken the man's life and turned him into a puppet!!
The other deacons also didn't dare to breathe too loudly, as everyone knew how ruthless his methods could be, and anyone who caused him displeasure might end up dead!
Such petty thoughts obviously couldn't escape his notice, "Don't worry, all of you are the elite combat forces of the Holy Spirit Cult, I won't take my anger out on you!"
Of course, the real reason was not as he said, but rather most of the evil Soul Masters were stationed at the Holy Spirit Cult Headquarters, and he did not have many under his control!
It could even be said that to kill one was to lose one!
Only then did the deacons quietly breathe a sigh of relief, and they began to speak out one after another, "Sect Hierarch, calm your anger. If the Douling Empire does not know its place, then let's stop cooperating with them!"
"That's right, the Douling Empire is already at a disadvantage among the major empires. Without the help of the Holy Spirit Cult, that Emperor Xue Yuntian will surely kneel down and beg us!"
"The Douling Empire is nothing but a power that has developed to this point only because of the soul technology we provided. Now they dare to bite the hand that feeds them, we can't let them off!"
The Ghost Emperor pursed his lips and said indifferently, "The Douling Empire is still very useful to us; we can't just break ties rashly!"
Hearing this, a deacon asked in confusion, "Does that mean, Sect Hierarch, you really intend to offer so many Spirit Souls to the Douling Empire?"
This was the foundation of the Holy Spirit Cult. If it was all given to the Douling Empire, where would their evil Soul Masters obtain their Soul Rings from next?
The Spirit Pagoda was not the same as it used to be; it had changed several Pagoda Masters already!
The Ghost Emperor snorted coldly, "It doesn't matter. If the Douling Empire wants them, then give it to them. In the end, all these things will return to the hands of our Holy Spirit Cult!"
As long as the Douling Empire goes to war with the Soul Land, then the Holy Spirit Cult can profit from their dispute!
The deacon realized suddenly, but still hesitated to say, "Your thinking is brilliant, Sect Hierarch, but... perhaps you've forgotten that the Abyssal Emperor and the Abyssal Creature Army exist?"
"To dominate the Continent, it seems we will have to become enemies with them too!"
The cheeks hidden beneath the Ghost Emperor's mask stiffened for a moment as he replied, "You make a reasonable point, but... I have already made thorough preparations!"
After a pause, he continued, "Next, your mission will be to infiltrate the army dispatched by the Douling Empire with our Holy Spirit Cult's evil Soul Masters!"
"Try to instigate as much conflict as possible!"
All the deacons responded in unison, "Yes, Sect Hierarch!!"
In a flash, these evil Soul Masters vanished from the spot...
...
Gazing at that power brimming with the essence of life, the Abyssal Emperor actually developed a tinge of desire, excitedly saying, "If I were to seize your Life Force, in the entire Divine Realm, no one would be my match!"
He already possessed an extremely powerful physical constitution, and together with Life Force, it was very likely he could reach a state of immortality!!
No matter what, he had to get his hands on it!
Xu Sheng shook his head, reflecting, "You're not only unafraid, but you're actually coveting Life Force that you shouldn't be desiring. Abyssal Emperor, you truly are greedy!"
Speaking of Life Force, he vaguely remembered it was given to him when he received the inheritance of the Destruction God King!
However, it also brought considerable help to himself!
The Abyssal Emperor disagreed with that view, scoffing, "Greedy? Such things should belong to the capable!"
Xu Sheng glanced at his own unharmed body, "Belong to the capable? But as it stands, you haven't injured me in the least."
Speaking of which, this battle had gone on for so long, if the Abyssal Emperor couldn't come up with some new tricks, he was prepared to put an end to this farce!
The Abyssal Emperor released the Divine Artifact in his hand and stared into the former's eyes, "I know, with the Life Force in your hands, the Heaven Saint Crack Abyss Halberd cannot deal you a fatal blow!"
"And what about tens of thousands of years ago? Would you still be my opponent then?"
Xu Sheng remained silent, unable to discern the former's thoughts...
The Abyssal Emperor paused for a moment and muttered, "That's why I'm going to use all my power to take you back in time!!"
Although his own realm would also fall, it was definitely not something this guy could compare to!
All the death energy and wandering souls he had absorbed spewed out from his body, turning into white and black light that completely covered the surroundings...
Then, it formed a kind of cycle, quickly fusing together...
A hole akin to a domain was forcibly opened, releasing an irresistible attraction from within!
Xu Sheng tried to move but found that he too was forcibly bound and was slowly being drawn toward that central hole...
Naturally, the same was true for the Abyssal Emperor, but he did not resist...
Instead, he looked up to the sky and laughed loudly, "Tremble, for you shall be killed by me in the past!!"
After these words fell, the two of them were swept into it...
Dozens of seconds later, the phenomenon gradually subsided, and everything returned to calm...
Yue Zhengyu, who had come back to his senses below, said urgently, "Did everyone hear that? The Abyssal Emperor seemed to say that he's taking Teacher Xu back to a world from tens of thousands of years ago!!"
Xu Xiaoyan nodded and said, "Yes, I heard it too. If Teacher Xu goes back to the past and hasn't become a God, won't he be defeated by the Abyssal Emperor!"
Ye Xinglan said indignantly, "The Abyssal Emperor is too despicable to achieve his goals!"
Yuanen Yehui clenched his fists, unable to hide the anxiety in his heart, "He can't deal with Teacher Xu, so he's targeting him tens of thousands of years in the past? Despicable!"
Tang Wulin immediately interrupted, "Everyone, don't panic. Since the Abyssal Emperor has also gone back to the past, his strength might not be as strong as it is now!"
"Teacher Xu still has a very good chance of winning, right, Gu Yue?"
Gu Yuena denied his words this time, with a heavy expression, "Wulin, you're too naïve. If the Abyssal Emperor wasn't absolutely sure, how could he do this!"
"You should know that he has lived in the abyss for countless tens of thousands of years!"
Going back tens of thousands of years, his strength would definitely not be weak!
Tang Wulin opened his mouth, knowing that what she said was the truth!
He said with an awkward smile, "Gu Yue, don't scare us. Besides, now is not the time to think about these things. We should take advantage of the absence of the Abyssal Emperor to quickly clear out the Abyssal Creature Army!"
Xu Xiaoyan whispered, "But Elder Long, Xie Xie, and the others have already..."
Tang Wulin's expression changed abruptly, and he exclaimed angrily for a rare time, "Enough!"
"It's because people have sacrificed themselves in battle that we have to eliminate the Abyssal Creature Army to prevent more people from following in their footsteps!!"
The Shrek Seven Monsters looked at each other, all revealing a few traces of guilt...
Yue Zhengyu gathered his courage again and said earnestly, "Wulin, you're right. With the Douling Empire eyeing us covetously, we must make the most of every minute!"
