Chapter 687: Far from Enough to Reach that Realm! (Subscribe Please)_1
Elsewhere, within the imperial palace of the Xingluo Empire...
The Blazing Sun Douluo's expression fluctuated as he looked down at the Soul Masters below, each with relatively high soul power ranks...
One of the Soul Masters with furrowed brows said, "Blazing Sun Douluo, is what we're doing really proper? This could be considered rebellion!"
Next to him, another Soul Master also expressed concerns, "Indeed, Blazing Sun Douluo, if we proceed with this, not only will we be ridiculed by the world, I'm afraid..."
Their words had scarcely fallen when the other Soul Masters present angrily retorted, "Stop talking nonsense! For our lord Blazing Sun Douluo to declare himself emperor is the most correct choice! What right does that woman have to climb above our lord!"
"Exactly, the Sun-Moon Empire no longer has a Soul Master Troop to reckon with, and even the Mingde Hall that stored the level 9 soul tools has been destroyed by the Sea God's Pavilion, they pose no threat to us at all!"
"Blazing Sun Douluo didn't let us counterattack the Sun-Moon Empire to seize the throne from the start, which already gave that Juzi a huge amount of face!"
"But..."
At that moment, Blazing Sun Douluo's icy gaze swept over the Soul Masters, and he spoke in a calm tone, "If you are unwilling to support my claim to the throne, you may leave; I will not pursue the matter!"
Upon these words, Soul Masters began to declare their positions one after another...
"What are you saying, Lord Blazing Sun Douluo? Of course, we are willing to assist you in ruling the Xingluo Empire!"
"Absolutely, I wouldn't want a woman whose soul power rank isn't even higher than mine to become our ruler, just thinking about it feels awkward!"
"We swear allegiance to Lord Blazing Sun Douluo! We swear allegiance to Lord Blazing Sun Douluo!"
Seeing that most had made their stance clear, Blazing Sun Douluo's gaze turned to the two Soul Masters who had disagreed with the rebellion earlier, and calmly asked, "What about you two?"
The two Soul Masters who were initially reluctant to rebel looked at each other, then quickly bent down and said, "We choose to follow you!"
Blazing Sun Douluo's lips curled into a smile as he stood from his throne and spread his arms wide, boldly announcing, "Very well!! From now on, I! am the new emperor of the Xingluo Empire!!"
...
Outside the borders of the Sun-Moon Empire, in a certain sect...
A figure clad in a black robe paused, her beautiful eyes looking up at the building before her, and then she fixed her gaze upon the stone stele etched with three large characters...
Canglan Sect!
Even without thinking, one could tell this was an inconspicuous small sect!
The black-robed figure was Ye Xishui, having left the Sun-Moon Empire. After moistening her tender lips, she continued to stride towards the sect...
However, just as she was about to enter the sect, she was suddenly stopped by several Sect Disciples in charge of guarding...
"Halt, who are you?"
"Look quickly, this person is wearing a black robe! Could it be an evil Soul Master?"
"It can't be, right? Aren't all evil Soul Masters within the Sun-Moon Empire's borders?"
The black-robed Ye Xishui, with an extremely calm voice, said, "Me? I've come to take your lives!"
No sooner had she spoken, she suddenly unleashed her Blood God Demon Puppet Martial Soul, and a terrifying hundred-meter phantom rose behind her, emitting an evil aura, especially its crimson eyes filled with endless murderous intent...
Nine stunningly brilliant soul rings rose from her feet...
The Sect Disciples' eyes widened in shock as they started to flee in panic...
"An evil Soul Master!! She really is an evil Soul Master! Run for your lives!!"
"She's at the level of a Title Douluo!! Damn it! We must fetch the Elders!!"
"Run! I don't want to die!! I don't want to die!!"
In face of the panicked cries of the Sect Disciples, Ye Xishui's expression bore not a trace of compassion or reluctance...
With just a thought, the mouth of the Blood God Demon Puppet behind her let out a deafening roar, and immediately, its body fired a stream of black evil power towards the fleeing Sect Disciples ahead...
Anyone touched by this evil force would emit a "sizzling" sound from their body, and then dissolve into a pool of blood that merged into the Blood God Demon Puppet's body...
Witnessing this "man-eating" scene, the terror in the hearts of the Sect Disciples had reached its limit!!
"She is a devil!! A devil!! Aaahhhhh!!"
"Save me! I don't want to die... don't want... wu..."
"Let... let me go..."
As Ye Xishui continued to advance, one withered corpse after another fell between her legs...
Suddenly, three Elders of the Canglan Sect, floating in the air, looked down at Ye Xishui below...
They all shouted coldly, "Bold demon, how dare you run rampant in our Canglan Sect!!"
"Fellow Elders, join me in eradicating this evil Soul Master!!"
"Be careful, everyone. This evil Soul Master actually has three hundred-thousand-year soul rings!! Her strength must be terrifying!!"
After these words, they all released their own Martial Souls, as their nine soul rings seemed to symbolize their noble status...
Surprise flickered in Ye Xishui's beautiful eyes, then vanished in a flash...
Unperturbed, she said, "Three Title Douluos? Not bad! But far too weak to offer much improvement..."
As her words fell, her second soul ring and fourth soul ring lit up in succession...
Second Soul Skill, Death God Scythe!
Fourth Soul Skill! Blood Puppet Resonance!
Besides the Death God Scythe shimmering with cold light in Ye Xishui's hands, the Blood God Demon Puppet behind her also produced an even larger Death God Scythe!
Her aura surged once more, even stirring up gales around her...
The pupils of the three Title Douluos in front narrowed, and their soul rings lit up abruptly...
"Fourth Soul Skill, Stars Extinguishing Together!"
"Sixth Soul Skill, Frost Chill Control!"
"Fifth Soul Skill, Dust Drifting Rain Slash!"
Unleashing their soul skills, they fearlessly confronted the Death God Devil Puppet charging at them with sickles in hand...
When the two forces collided, terrifying ripples erupted all around...
...
In a moment, several streams of murky blood were extracted from the bodies of the three Title Douluos, drawn into and merging with the Blood God Demon Puppet...
Ye Xishui glanced at the three corpses with her beautiful eyes and said, "To reach that realm, these few are far from enough!"
Thereafter, her gaze once again fell upon the entire sect; her left leg radiated a crystalline glow...
She shouted coldly, "Demon Puppet Barrier!"
As her words fell, countless crimson mists started to emanate from Ye Xishui's body, spreading at a visible rate across the sky, swiftly expanding outwards...
It took only a few minutes for the vast sect to be completely shrouded in the Blood Fog, trapping all Sect Disciples attempting to escape within...
This crimson mist would continuously erode the soul power of Soul Masters with a rank lower than Ye Xishui, and the greater the disparity, the more terrifying the eroding power would be...
Looking down at the clusters of blood rising into the air, Ye Xishui burst forth with Soul Power and surged upwards...
She closed her beautiful eyes, allowing the Blood God Demon Puppet behind her to begin absorbing recklessly...
