The other Evil Soul Masters, however, were in a different mood...
As Evil Soul Masters, they too obtained great power by slaughtering others, even going so far as to sacrifice parts of their own bodies!
But the scene before them now made them shudder from deep within their hearts...
Compared to this, their own methods of tormenting people seemed insignificant!
Noticing their unusual reaction, the Ghost Emperor suddenly cast a look their way and said with a sinister smile, "Why, you all seem quite pleased, perhaps you too desire this great power?"
"If you have such thoughts, feel free to speak up; I will certainly satisfy you!"
Such mighty power, merely at the cost of some lifespan, could be said to be very worthwhile!
After all, those who had not yet become Evil Soul Masters would likely spend a lifetime cultivating and still fail to reach this realm, only able to look on from afar!
Such tender words, in the ears of the Evil Soul Masters, were like the whispers of a demon...
However, if they dared to refuse outright, they might not be able to walk away unscathed!
With this thought, they quickly shifted to another expression...
"Sect Hierarch, you jest, we haven't made any significant contributions in this operation, we simply don't deserve your grace"
"Yes, yes, Hierarch, what stature you hold, it wouldn't be right to trouble you to enhance the strength of such lowly folks as us!"
"Hierarch, you have already expended a great deal of energy enhancing this guy's strength, it's better not to waste time on us anymore!"
"Hmm... those Soul Masters from the other Continents seem quite restless, it's possible they might suddenly launch an attack on the Douling Empire, it's better if you preserve your absolute strength, Hierarch!"
"While we welcome your generous offer of power, given the current situation, we'd rather not trouble you, Hierarch. We'll enhance our strength using the lives of those Soul Masters, ensuring not to disappoint you!"
The prospect of enduring such pain for power was unthinkable to them!
The Ghost Emperor could easily see through their petty thoughts, the corners of his mouth curling into a mocking smile...
"Regarding that, you needn't worry. Merely allowing a servant to gain this power won't harm me!"
"However, seeing how deeply concerned you are about me, I will choose another person to receive my grace!"
Instantly, the pupils of the Evil Soul Masters constricted...
Damn it, they should have kept quiet!
Suddenly, each person's head drooped desperately low, fearing they might be the next target!
The Ghost Emperor was not surprised by this, but rather murmured to himself, "Hmm… which one to choose, how about you!"
After speaking, he waved his hand and a terrifying Divine Power erupted once again...
The Evil Soul Master he had chosen flew out without any resistance, his neck precisely grasped...
Realizing what was happening, the chosen one began to stammer, "Hierarch… this power… is too great, I... can't endure it, please..."
The Ghost Emperor's gaze was fixed on him, slowly and deliberately saying, "I'm not asking for your opinion, I'm giving an order!"
"Having the opportunity to receive the power I grant is your supreme honor, though if you can't bear it, you'll explode on the spot!"
Ignoring the other's pleas, the Divine Power surrounding him spread out and enveloped him as well...
Soon, similar screams echoed throughout the imperial palace...
However, unlike the other, his body could not withstand the onslaught of the Divine Power washing over him, and he began to swell as if on the verge of exploding...
Seeing this, the Ghost Emperor was somewhat displeased and scolded, "Such a waste, unable to withstand even this small amount of power. But since you're going to die anyway, return the power back to me!"
Having spoken, he forcibly extracted his power and life force...
In just a few seconds, his swollen body deflated, and his appearance gradually withered, eventually becoming an ugly mummified corpse...
"Tsk!" He carelessly threw it away...
After the mummified corpse hit the ground hard, it shattered into a brownish-red blur...
Although the other Evil Soul Masters were afraid, they couldn't help feeling somewhat relieved...
Fortunately, they had not been chosen by the Ghost Emperor, otherwise they might have met the same fate!
A mummified corpse devoid of a soul!
Having done all this, the Ghost Emperor acted as if nothing had happened, looking at the Evil Soul Masters, "Don't be afraid, he's actually not dead, he simply chose to merge with me!"
"However, if your strength cannot continue to increase, and you are to be of use to me, this will also be your ultimate fate!"
After speaking, he licked the fresh blood on his hand as if he was coveting it...
Feeling a wave of nausea inside him, the Demon Emperor couldn't help but curse silently, "Even sparing his own companions, truly disgusting!"
Just during this period, he had lost count of how many Evil Soul Masters had died by the other's hand!
And the reason was just one, his bad mood!
The Ghost Emperor, seeming to have sensed something, turned around without warning and instantly appeared in front of the Demon Emperor...
The latter, startled by the scene, asked subconsciously, "Ghost Emperor, what... what do you want to do?"
The Ghost Emperor ignored her remark and stated in an undeniable tone, "Demon Emperor, don't think I don't know what you are thinking. I've already said, everything about you is under my control!"
"So, I hope you don't provoke my patience, or else the next mummified corpse lying on the ground will be yours!"
The Demon Emperor, used to it, merely scoffed...
This guy, he will sooner or later die by his enemy's hand because of this character!
But for now, this guy can not die just yet, he even needs to get stronger, so he can provoke the people from the Divine Realm!
But this action was once again clearly seen through by the Ghost Emperor...
He mocked mercilessly, "Demon Emperor, you're not still thinking of using my hand to get rid of that Sea God, are you?"
"Don't be silly, I wouldn't do such a thing!"
"Also, haven't you forgotten your own status? Right now, you are not the lofty Demon Emperor, but a puppet of mine, a puppet controlled in both freedom and thought!"
If he wished, she would be killed, her brewing plans reduced to nothing!
The Demon Emperor, not angered, coldly replied, "Ghost Emperor, even so, don't you forget, Tang Wulin is now the Pavilion Master of Sea God, if you want to rule the entire Continent, you will definitely confront him!"
"Provoking the Sea God is only a matter of time!"
Once Tang Wulin is injured, she can confidently declare, the Sea God would immediately descend to the Lower Realm to slay the Ghost Emperor!
"Haha, you did remind me, then at that time, only leaving Tang Wulin's life will suffice!"
