Chapter 1865: Battling Demon Sovereign  

“Clang!”

Tang Wulin’s Golden Dragon Spear struck Demon Sovereign’s lower abdomen with unerring accuracy, but the indomitable Golden Dragon Spear was stopped in its path. It seemed to have struck something completely indestructible and was repelled as a result.

At the same time, the entire surrounding space turned a purplish-golden color, and Demon Sovereign thrust a palm forward.

There was no technique to speak of; it was purely an eruption of godly power.

From their initial clash, Tang Wulin had already sensed that Demon Sovereign was no longer an ordinary human. Perhaps she hadn’t become a deity yet, but her powers had already reached the godly level.

His opponent was far more fearsome than he anticipated, but he was also no longer his past self.

The attack just how had been unleashed using the Golden Dragon Spear in his right hand, but in the face of Demon Sovereign’s palm strike, he lashed out with the Sea God’s Trident in his left hand in retaliation, drawing a circle in mid-air.

Demon Sovereign’s palm appeared right at the center of the circle, and as soon as that happened, she felt a burst of enormous suction force appear around her hand, following which the godly power imbued within her palm was stripped away.

This was a very jarring sensation; the palm strike that she had absolute confidence had suddenly been completely nullified. In the next instant, the giant Sea God’s Trident swept forth, striking directly toward her shoulder.

Demon Sovereign’s expression changed slightly upon hearing this. She wasn’t fazed by being struck by the Golden Dragon Spear, but she definitely didn’t dare to allow the vastly renowned Sea God’s Trident to strike her.

Purplish-golden light flashed, and in the next instant, she appeared behind Tang Wulin. She thrust a finger forward, and the surrounding air was abruptly ejected, transforming the area into a vacuum.Tang Wulin felt his entire body become very sluggish, and his Sea God’s Trident was also faltering in mid-air. It was as if the world that he was currently situated in no longer accepted him and was rejecting him with all its might.

This was a tiny small world that Demon Sovereign had conjured up with her godly power, and in this world, she was the absolute ruler. This was an ability that was far superior to domains, and it could only be unleashed through godly power.

Taking advantage of Tang Wulin’s sluggishness, Demon Sovereign thrust her finger directly toward his back.

However, right at this moment, countless Bluesilver Emperor vines suddenly erupted out of Tang Wulin’s back, and an image was also projected into Demon Sovereign’s mind.

The figure that was locked away deep in her memory vault suddenly appeared before her, dealing upon her a massive psychological impact.

The long blue hair, the steady and profound gaze; it was none other than Sea God Tang San!

She had never seen Sea God Tang San in person, but as soon as the image appeared in her mind, she immediately recognized it to be Tang San.

Aside from him, there was no one else who could possibly bear this appearance.

In the next instant, she was struck by the Bluesilver Emperor vines, and her body was sent flying. Tang Wulin swept his Sea God’s Trident through the air to slice through the small world that was restricting him, then turned around to face Demon Sovereign again.

Even though he had already reached the pinnacle of the human race, it was not an easy task battling the true god level Demon Sovereign.

If it weren’t for the enhancements he had received from the Nine Trials of the Sea God and the countless battles against his father, perhaps he would’ve already lost.

He finally understood why even the likes of Chen Xinjie and Long Yeyue had perished to this woman.

The disorientation in Demon Sovereign’s eyes faded, and as she focused her gaze on Tang Wulin again, her eyes were filled with scorching hatred. “You must be a descendant of his, right? You bear such a striking resemblance to him; there must be a bloodline connection between the two of you! Looks like I’ve finally found the right person to exact my revenge on; I’m going to kill you to avenge my husband!”

Demon Sovereign raised her palms toward the heavens as she spoke, and the sky instantly turned a dark purple color. Her aura also began to spike at an astonishing rate.

Meanwhile, Tang Wulin pointed his Golden Dragon Spear in Demon Sovereign’s direction, while pointing his Sea God’s Trident in the direction of the Arctic Ocean, feeling the blessings of the sea.

At this point, he had already pulled out the Sea God’s Trident and become the true heir to the Sea God. The sea now existed to serve him, and rich water elemental energy surged toward him from all directions.

Even in the northernmost region of the continent, the ice shelves were a part of a sea, so all of the ice elements and water elements were injecting themselves into Tang Wulin’s body as the purest form of energy.Due to the restriction of the plane, he was unable to attain godhood, but his aura was constantly rising toward the godly level.

Meanwhile, the battle between Gu Yuena and the Spirit Sovereign had also commenced.

The Spirit Sovereign was constantly flashing through the air, unleashing one powerful spiritual attack after another to combat Gu Yuena’s elemental attacks.

However, he was unable to get any closer to Gu Yuena. There was constantly an enormous cloud of energy revolving around Gu Yuena, and what he was most wary of was the spatial elements. It was as if there were countless black holes around her, and he could be devoured even with the slightest lapse in focus.

In contrast with before, the Spirit Sovereign found his opponent to be far more unfathomable. Her attacks didn’t seem to have become much more powerful, but he didn’t dare to approach her for some reason.

He couldn’t understand exactly what had changed, but he knew that something had changed.

All types of thoughts were rapidly flying through the Spirit Sovereign’s mind, and all of a sudden, a possibility occurred to him.

Could it be that his opponent had been hiding her power?

This was the only explanation; even now, there was still a chance that she was hiding her true power.

With that in mind, a chill ran down the Spirit Sovereign’s spine.

Only after arriving in the human world did he come to realize that humans weren’t as easy to crush as he had imagined.

In the eyes of the abyssal plane, the Douluo Plane was on the wane, and thus, the planar ruler’s restrictive power on outsiders was very limited. In addition to that, the Holy Spirit Cult was helping the abyssal army arrive in this world, so a crushing victory could be immediately secured, and the abyssal plane could expect a massive influx of life energy soon.

However, even though the abyssal army had made some progress, the Spirit Sovereign knew from the moment that Eternal Heaven struck that the human race wouldn’t be that easy to defeat.

Furthermore, he was extremely wary of Demon Sovereign.

He knew that the Holy Lord still wouldn’t be able to arrive in this plane. No matter how feeble the planar ruler of the Douluo Continent was, there was no way it would allow another planar ruler to enter its territory. At the very most, the Holy Lord would only be able to project a part of his power into this plane, but it would be impossible for him to fully descend as that would lead to his destruction.

Under these circumstances, even if they could crush the human race, it would be very troublesome if they couldn’t control the Holy Spirit Cult.

With that in mind, the Spirit Sovereign decided that he had to end the battle here as soon as possible so the abyssal army could begin plundering life energy.

With sufficient life energy, there was a chance that he would also be able to reach the true god level, and once that happened, there wouldn’t be any further issues.

He had absolute confidence that with the assistance of the Holy Lord, he would be able to become the ruler of this world.

As for the notion that Gu Yuena was hiding her power? Hehe, she wasn’t the only one…
