Chapter 2933: Xue Yuntian's Demise_1
Xue Yuntian's face brightened up as he exclaimed subconsciously, "Success??"
This was the Douling Empire's only portable high-grade soul guidance device. To have hit the Ghost Emperor in the head at such close range, even if he had broken through to the God Rank, he shouldn't be unscathed!!
The rest of the Evil Soul Masters' expressions tightened as they shouted in alarm, "Sect Hierarch!!"
They had seen with their own eyes the beam pierce through the Ghost Emperor's head!!
With such an injury, it would be difficult not to die!!
The Ghost Emperor didn't make any move, still maintaining the posture he had before...
This scene made Xue Yuntian even more certain of his thoughts...
He couldn't help laughing loudly, "Ghost Emperor, even you have your day. But today, if my life can be exchanged for yours, it is worth it!!"
At this moment, he felt that he could die without any regrets!!
Yet the next second, his laughter abruptly stopped...
"What gave you the illusion that you could kill me??"
The Ghost Emperor turned his head, looking down at Xue Yuntian from above...
The latter stared in shock, "You... your head should've been pierced by me, why..."
The Ghost Emperor cast a disdainful look, "Pierced through the head? Foolish, I have already broken through to the God Rank. How could such a weapon possibly kill me!!"
"No, it couldn't even hit me!!"
The reason for the former's illusion was simply because his own speed was faster than the soul guidance device's beam, dodging it at the moment before it struck...
Xue Yuntian swallowed hard, the intense disparity making it hard for him to accept...
"No... it can't be, I... I..."
The Ghost Emperor lost interest in him and interrupted, "Enough, I've wasted enough time on you. You might as well just die."
"As for the Douling Empire, I will transform everyone here into Evil Soul Masters, and then, I'll kill those troublesome fellows!!"
Having said that, he reached out and grabbed his head, then slammed it violently towards the ground...
"Boom!!"
Under such immense force, Xue Yuntian's head made intimate contact with the ground, immediately creating a huge crater...
Teeth broke off and fell with bloodstains...
"You... even if you kill me, Shrek..."
The Ghost Emperor narrowed his eyes, "A mere weakling, yet he didn't die; his vitality is quite stubborn!!"
After speaking, he picked him up again and continued to smash him towards the ground...
"Bang!!"
Another loud noise...
The crater deepened a bit more...
However, Xue Yuntian still hadn't died, but the bones in his face were completely caved in, not looking human at all...
Yet, he still mustered his last bit of strength to say, "You... Evil Soul Master, will certainly suffer retribution..."
The Ghost Emperor lost his patience, concentrated his formidable Divine Power around his fist, and aimed it at his head once more, bombarding it...
In an instant, the latter's head exploded like a watermelon, the scene extraordinarily bloody...
After doing all this, he felt it wasn't enough, and a soul ring under his foot lit up...
The entire hall was enveloped in a blood-red aura, and of course, most importantly, Xue Yuntian's figure also emerged, as his soul was released due to his physical death...
He snorted, "You think you can be done with death? I will enslave your soul completely, making you live forever in pain and torment!"
After speaking, he reached out with his right hand and grabbed at his soul...
Xue Yuntian's soul seemed drawn by an immense force, flying straight to the Ghost Emperor...
The latter did not hesitate either. In just a few seconds, he violently devoured it into his own body...
The backs of the other Evil Soul Masters were also covered in cold sweat...
Although they too wantonly slaughtered civilians and Soul Masters, they would not go as far as to not spare even souls!!
Some were relieved that it was not them who suffered this fate!!
Only then did the Ghost Emperor wipe the corner of his mouth and turned his gaze towards them...
"You, immediately spread the news of Xue Yuntian's death. Make sure everyone feels panic!!"
With Xue Yuntian, the emperor, dead, the armies of the Douling Empire would disintegrate without a fight!
What remained were only those like Tang Wulin, who were still fighting the Evil Soul Master Army!!
The Evil Soul Masters nodded slightly, "Yes, Sect Hierarch!!"
With a gesture, they dashed off in different directions...
When he was left alone, the Ghost Emperor finally cast his gaze upon the imperial throne above...
He walked up without hurry and sat down firmly...
"This throne feels quite nice, but it's a pity that there will be no Douling Empire anymore!!"
For starting from tomorrow, this place would become the nest of the Evil Soul Masters!!!
All people will become members of the Holy Spirit Cult and submit to my sole rule.
...
Owing to the Evil Soul Masters' deliberate spreading of the word, the news instantly reached every corner of the Douling Empire...
All civilians and Soul Masters fell into panic...
"Have you heard?? His Majesty the Emperor seems to have been killed by that Ghost Emperor!"
"What?? Aren't the powerhouses from Soul Land and Xingluo Empire still battling the Evil Soul Master Army?? Why did His Majesty the Emperor just die like that?"
"It's over, with His Majesty the Emperor dead, doesn't it mean that the entire Douling Empire will become a base for the Evil Soul Masters?"
"It's completely over... I thought after we took down the Evil Soul Masters, our Douling Empire could return to normal, but now with His Majesty the Emperor's death, nothing makes sense anymore!!"
"What about us common folk? Do we just stay in the Douling Empire and wait for death?? I don't want to die like this, I haven't even married yet!"
"Wait for death?? I anticipated this day long ago, so I have already prepared to leave the Douling Empire!!"
They weren't stupid; of course, they knew that after the death of Xue Yuntian, the Douling Empire would no longer be the same!!
A backup plan was essential!!
And the Evil Soul Masters not far away, upon hearing these words, showed no panic at all, not even worrying that they could escape the Douling Empire...
"Hehe, these civilians and Soul Masters of the Douling Empire actually think they can escape to somewhere else, what a dream!"
"That's right, before we invaded the imperial palace, we already sealed off all paths leading to the Xingluo Empire and Soul Land. It's impossible to leave!!"
"Hehe, even so, watching them struggle desperately only to ultimately submit is indeed quite thrilling!!"
"Hmph, the entire human world will be ruled by our Holy Spirit Cult in the future. The Douling Empire is just the beginning!"
Their goal was never the small Douling Empire but the entire human world...
As for where the confidence came from, of course, it was the Ghost Emperor who had broken through to God Rank!
With the power he endowed, one could effortlessly break through to Soul Douluo and even Titled Douluo!!
