Chapter 194: The Shameless Time Traveler

Chapter 194: The Shameless Time Traveler

"Shameless? No, I only believe in the survival of the fittest!" Du Qianjue sinisterly smirked, his eyes roving over the Sea Princess leader with malevolent intent.

"My lady, you wouldn't want your Sea Princess tribe to be wiped out, would you?" The Sea Princess leader was infuriated by his audacity, her chest heaving with anger.

"Tell me, what exactly do you want?" Desperation glinted in her eyes as she faced Du QianJue, her lush lips turning pale from biting.

"You don't want to surrender your body to me, but I will make sure you do it willingly!" Du Qianjue cackled menacingly, his gaze blatantly sweeping over her.

Upon hearing Du QianJue 's words, the Sea Princess leader felt a deep humiliation and helplessness, his words making her shiver with indignation.

"What? You want my body?" The Sea Princess leader gasped, her beautiful face turning deathly pale as her body stiffened.

Seeing the Sea Princess leader's reaction, Du QianJue's expression darkened, the twisted grin vanishing from his face.

The Sea Princess leader had a daughter, meaning she truly was a lady... The hundred-thousand-year-old mermaid who sacrificed herself to Huo Yuhao in the original story was her daughter.

Damn, do I look like a villainous scoundrel to her?

Du Qianjue was slightly exasperated.

"Ha, keep dreaming. You're not even worthy to serve me! Your only use is to become my soul ring! Come on, let's get this sacrifice over with!" Du Qianjue spread his arms, sneering at her.

You think your faith in the Sea God is useful? Can the Sea God swoop down from the heavens to save you? No, he can't—you're still at my mercy!

Xue Linglong looked at Du Qianjue with a puzzled expression.

She had almost thought Du Qianjue wanted to toy with the Sea Princess leader cruelly; after all, according to human standards, the Sea Princess leader was indeed beautiful, and her fish tail might even be considered an added bonus for some.

Mermaids, you know—the knowledgeable understand.

It's not strange for Xue Linglong to overthink; after knowing Du Qianjue for so long, this was the first time she saw him in such a perverse role. She was so taken aback that she almost believed it to be true, not to mention the Sea Princess leader herself. Look at her terrified face; she's practically been frightened pale.

'So it's just a sacrifice, that's a relief...' thought the Sea Princess leader, somewhat relieved.

The idea that Du QianJue's depravity could make her feel that being sacrificed was a fortunate escape speaks volumes of his vile nature. But Du Qianjue was utterly oblivious to his villainous demeanor.

"Will you spare my tribe if I sacrifice myself to you?" The Sea Princess leader wiped the blood from her lips, suppressing her sorrow.

"That depends on how sensible you are!" Du Qianjue crossed his arms, his tone nonchalant.

"If you break your promise, I will haunt you as a ghost and never let you go!" The Sea Princess leader spoke bitterly, her eyes fiercely locked onto Du QianJue, as if to etch his face into her soul.

A ghost? Du Qianjue scoffed dismissively. In the presence of a necromancer, you wouldn't even have the chance to become a ghost! Her words succeeded in changing Du QianJue's mind; he had initially thought to simply let her be sacrificed, but it seemed she wasn't so eager to die peacefully...

Hmm, time to add a twist, let her know who truly rules in a world where power is supreme! I'll make sure even after your sacrifice, you remain forever under my control!

"Come with me!" Du Qianjue gestured, and a portal of space formed out of thin air. Holding Xue Linglong's hand, he stepped through first.

The Sea Princess leader watched the portal with conflicted emotions, tempted to flee but glancing down at the ice sea below, she sighed in resignation. She couldn't leave—she might survive, but her tribe would undoubtedly be slaughtered by Du QianJue. She dared not gamble with his morality. Losing would mean doom.

So, she could only do as Du Qianjue commanded, hoping he would keep his promise to spare her tribe after obtaining her soul ring.

The consequences of being weaker than others... utterly at their mercy.

Du Qianjue and Xue Linglong stepped out of the portal into another world. This world seemed dead, its land dark and barren, covered with stones and dirt, without a hint of vegetation. Even the sky was a gloomy gray, overshadowed by a sinister purple sun emitting an eerie glow.

"The Necrotic Half-Plane."

"This is the half-plane the Elder gave you?" Xue Linglong looked around curiously.

Du Qianjue nodded. "This is a world created by my teacher to complete a spell. Though it's only a half-plane due to its imperfect fundamental laws, it's still a testament to my teacher's power."

"Just for a spell, he created a world. What immense power..." Xue Linglong marveled.

"What is this place?" The Sea Princess leader also emerged from the portal, her eyes darting around nervously.

As she stepped out, the gate to the Necrotic Half-Plane closed behind her, severing the connection to the Douluo Continent.

"You don't need to worry about that. Just focus on your sacrifice to me," Du Qianjue said coldly, summoning his second martial soul.

Two astonishing soul rings rose at his feet—one entirely golden with ten blue-golden stripes, the other blood-red with four golden stripes.

"What are these...?" The Sea Princess leader gaped in shock at Du Qianjue's soul rings.

She recognized the second ring—the four golden stripes indicated it was a soul ring from a four-hundred-thousand-year-old beast. But what about the first ring? A divine soul ring?

"What are you waiting for?" Du Qianjue 's impatience showed.

"I hope you keep your word and spare my tribe," the Sea Princess leader inhaled deeply, letting go of her fear of death as flames of sacrifice engulfed her.

The flames of sacrifice—Du Qianjue had seen them countless times and was unfazed.

"Dream Brother, quietly preserve her soul for me after this. I want to thoroughly refine her soul!" Du Qianjue's figure appeared next to the massive body of Dream Ice Silkworm in his spiritual sea, poking its fluffy body.

"Hmm? Refine? Sounds interesting..." The Dream Ice Silkworm tilted its head, locking eyes with Du Qianjue.

The two shared a sinister laugh, chilling even the nearby Saint Xing who shivered slightly.

She nearly had a nightmare.
