The Demon Emperor's gaze toward the Ghost Emperor became increasingly serious, "Even without using all his strength, he could easily injure me? It seems I have always underestimated the Ghost Emperor's power."
Last time, because the Ghost Emperor suffered a loss at the hands of Tang Wulin and the others, and didn't immediately ascend to the Divine Realm, she always subconsciously felt that the Ghost Emperor did not possess True God Level power…
Now it seemed that he just hadn't fully controlled his power at the time!
And this look was instantly perceived by the Ghost Emperor…
He scoffed, "By the looks of it, you seem quite surprised by my strength, don't you?"
By now, he had completely mastered the Divine Power within his body, which was worlds apart from the strength he had shown in their last great battle!
However, the Demon Emperor did not want to admit it and responded expressionlessly, "Ghost Emperor, you merely forced your breakthrough by devouring those hundreds of thousands of dead Soul Masters. Not ascending to the Divine Realm means you are not a true God."
The Ghost Emperor raised an eyebrow and said meaningfully, "Oh? Is that really what you think?"
As he spoke, his aura became even more dangerous…
The Demon Emperor did not answer, but countered, "Is it not so? With your talents, if not for such despicable methods, you might never have transcended the level of an Ultimate Douluo!"
Although the emanating aura was extremely dangerous, it seemed not to contain any murderous intent!
The Ghost Emperor was not angered but mocked, "While I don't know what misconceptions you have about my strength, just know that now, killing you would be as easy as flipping my hand!"
"Besides, don't forget one thing, you were once the Demon Emperor of the Holy Spirit Cult. Do you really think your actions were not despicable?"
As long as one can break through to God Rank, whichever means used are worth it!
If the roles were reversed, he would probably employ even more ruthless methods!
The Demon Emperor's gaze grew deeper, "Ghost Emperor, I truly regret not having killed you thoroughly back then!"
When he re-established the Holy Spirit Cult, he should have eliminated him right from the start!
Gui Mei stared directly at him and said word by word, "A person whose life is not even in their own hands has no right to say such things."
He wanted the Demon Emperor to watch him as he took control over the entire Continent!
And then make him willingly become his servant!
At those words, the Demon Emperor did not know how to retort and remained silent…
Seeing this, the Evil Soul Masters around them could not help discussing…
"Does this guy really think he's still the Demon Emperor of the Holy Spirit Cult? Daring to oppose the Sect Hierarch, he's simply courting death!"
"Hmph, in the hands of the Sect Hierarch, she is just a chess piece that can be discarded at any moment, what's there to be arrogant about?"
"If not for the Sect Hierarch's generosity, this guy would have been devoured long ago!"
"It's foolish, if she willingly became the Sect Hierarch's servant, she might have gained the power granted by him, but now, there's no chance left!"
"I don't know why the Sect Hierarch keeps her around instead of killing her, letting us devour her. The blood essence of such a powerful being would definitely boost our strength a lot!"
However, the Ghost Emperor then looked toward them, "You"
Instantly, everyone bowed down, saying in fear, "Sect Hierarch, what are your orders!"
They weren't afraid of anyone, but they dreaded the Ghost Emperor's sudden call out!
After all, before even battling other empire's Soul Masters, over a hundred Evil Soul Masters had already died at the latter's hands!
They did not wish to be one of those numbers!
Seeing this, the Ghost Emperor continued, "You've heard the recent news. Quite a few little rats have entered the Douling Empire."
"Your task is to clean them all out. The more you kill, the stronger the power I will grant you!"
"Otherwise, you'll become nothing but bait!"
"These ants are not worth my personal action!"
"Let these fellows handle it. That will be enough!"
At these words, everyone's faces turned into expressions of utter terror...
Though killing many could garner the Sect Hierarch's bestowed power, killing few could mean the loss of one's life!
Seeing that they had not responded, the Ghost Emperor was not polite either, coldly shouting, "What? Do you have objections to the order I have given?"
"Those who are useless to me might as well die and become the strength of others!"
The evil Soul Masters who had just hesitated immediately made their decision...
"Yes, Sect Hierarch, we will surely slaughter all the rats that have infiltrated the Douling Empire!"
They had no doubt that if they did not make a decision at this time, the outcome would be absolutely gruesome!
Only then did the Ghost Emperor turn his back, nodding slightly and said, "Very good, I hope to hear good news from you all. Dispense!"
As the sound of his voice fell, the evil Soul Masters all turned into shadows and instantly dissipated...
Watching them leave, the Ghost Emperor said unflinchingly, "If not for your usefulness, you would have already merged into my body!"
The reason he had spent such a great cost to turn all the Soul Masters of the entire Douling Empire into evil Soul Masters...
Firstly, it was to counteract the Soul Masters from other empires!
Secondly, it was for another secret unknown to others!
...
Meanwhile!
On the other side of the Douling Empire!
Many people were seen concealing their aura, easily bypassing the guarding evil Soul Masters, and entered the territory...
After confirming they were not detected, they all breathed a sigh of relief...
"Entering the Douling Empire like this, is it really okay? I heard that many people who just entered were attacked by evil Soul Masters and almost annihilated!"
"Hmph, don't compare those federation fools with us; we are the elite of the War God Hall!"
"That's right, unless we deliberately release our aura, these foolish evil Soul Masters will absolutely not discover our existence!"
"We are even carrying high-precision soul tools for shielding our aura; those evil Soul Masters probably wouldn't even dream of it!"
"Of course, we people of the War God Hall have undergone the baptism of battle, far superior to those ordinary members of the federation!"
Hearing their words, the lead captain couldn't help but remind them, "Everyone, be cautious and don't let your guard down!"
"Our purpose for coming to the Douling Empire this time is not to reduce the number of evil Soul Masters, but to investigate whether there are still Soul Masters who have not been converted!"
This was also to estimate the number of evil Soul Masters!
Upon hearing this, one of the War God Temple Members couldn't help but retort, "Captain, I think there's no need to investigate. With the Ghost Emperor's strength, it's impossible for any Soul Masters within the Douling Empire to escape unscathed!"
"With that time, it would be better to ascertain what the high-end combat capabilities of the evil Soul Masters are, since in war, only high-end power can influence the situation!"
The former shook his head, immediately rejecting the idea, "No, if we encounter a powerful evil Soul Master, this aura-shielding soul tool could very likely become ineffective!"
"Moreover, no one can estimate whether the evil Soul Masters have other methods to detect our presence!"
