Soul Land 3: Legend Of The Dragon King

Chapter 1850: Demon Sovereign

Chapter 1850: Demon Sovereign

However, there was a supposed true god currently standing right before him.

If someone else had been in Chen Xinjie’s shoes, they would most likely think that she was merely bluffing. However, it was exactly because Chen Xinjie had once been close to that level that he knew that she was telling the truth.

She really had already reached the godly level; all that she was missing was a godseat.

She was like a miraculous existence, yet this miracle was being presented so clearly to him.

Even more importantly, she seemed to have reached this level as a soul beast!

Throughout human history, there had been no records of any soul beast ever reaching the godly level; even the leader of the 10 Great Beasts, Beast God Di Tian, hadn’t managed to reach those heights.

If this woman’s true form were that massive whale, then she would undoubtedly be a sea soul beast.

It was said that the founder of the Tang Sect, Tang San, had once killed a 1,000,000-year-old Deep Sea Demonic Whale King, but even the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King in those records hadn’t been as large as this creature.

It would all make sense if she really had already reached the godly level.

Due to the lack of human interference, apex predators among sea soul beasts could survive more easily than the most powerful soul beasts on land, but even so, it simply wasn’t a simple task to attain godhood.

“Who am I?” the woman chuckled coldly, “You’ve been looking for me for a very long time, haven’t you? Surely you don’t need me to tell you who I am.”

Chen Xinjie was struck by a sudden sense of realization, and he exclaimed, “You’re Demon Sovereign of the Holy Spirit Cult!”

The woman smiled, and said, “You’re a smart man. That’s right, I am Demon Sovereign. I bet you didn’t think that the leader of the Holy Spirit Cult that you’d been pursuing all this time would be a soul beast, much less a sea soul beast.”

Indeed, Chen Xinjie was shocked beyond words.

Just as Demon Sovereign had said, never had it occurred to him that the leader of the Holy Spirit Cult would be a sea soul beast.

It was no wonder that no one had heard anything about the rise of this Demon Sovereign, but she had suddenly appeared at the top of the Holy Spirit Cult, and even the likes of Infernal King Douluo Harosha and Ghost Emperor had been willing to serve her.

“It looks like you were successful with the Blood River Godslayer Array, after all.” Chen Xinjie knew that Demon Sovereign clearly hadn’t broken through the restrictions of this realm through her own power.It was through harnessing the Blood River Godslayer Array’s power that she was finally able to reach the true god level.

A bone-chilling look appeared in Demon Sovereign’s eyes upon hearing this. “I succeeded? I would’ve actually succeeded if I just had a bit more time! You accursed humans cut me off at the most critical juncture. Otherwise, I would’ve devoured the lives of you humans and those abyssal creatures to create the embryo of a Divine Realm. You humans ruined tens of thousands of painstaking preparation, so all of you have to die! I’m going to use all of your lives and the entire plane’s resentment toward me to create another Blood River Godslayer Array!”

Chen Xinjie finally understood what was going on upon hearing this.

Demon Sovereign had been the mastermind behind everything. She had opened the passageway and drawn the abyssal creatures into this world, not to assist the abyssal plane, but instead to use them to complete her Blood River Godslayer Array.

Creating a Divine Realm was a monumental task, yet only by creating a Divine Realm would godseats come into existence. Even the weakest and smallest Divine Realm had to be supported by an enormous amount of energy, so where did this energy come from?

The sacrifice of 10,000,000 souls had only just barely managed to create the Blood River Godslayer Array; where would the rest of the required energy come from? Her goal wasn’t just to destroy the human world; she was even plotting against the abyssal creatures! She was going to use the Blood River Godslayer Array to devour all of the humans and abyssal creatures that she attracted, creating the foundation of her Divine Realm.

All of the living beings in the northernmost region would become stepping stones for her in her pursuit to create a Divine Realm, and if she were to succeed, she would undoubtedly immediately devour the entire Douluo Plane to strengthen her Divine Realm just like the Holy Lord was aiming to do.

This was the full extent of her plan! Having connected all the dots, everything became clear to Chen Xinjie.

Ever since the Holy Spirit Cult and the Spirit Pagoda had colluded to bomb Shrek City, this sinister plot had already unfolded. Everything that happened next, including the attack on the Blood God Legion and the triggering of the abyssal tide, was all working toward this ultimate goal.

It didn’t matter that their attack on the Blood God Legion ultimately proved to be unsuccessful; what was important was that they had managed to secure contact with the abyssal plane through that abyssal passageway. Finally, the two worked together to create a second abyssal passageway, thereby resulting in this battle.

It was also at that time that the Blood River Godslayer Array was finally unveiled, and with the power of the array, Demon Sovereign was able to expand the abyssal passageway further to allow in more abyssal creatures.

In her eyes, everything, including the abyssal and human armies, were prey for her to devour.

However, even she had failed to anticipate just how powerful Eternal Heaven was; it was even more fearsome than the other two godslayer missiles combined.

Finally, she had completed the vast majority of her plan and attained godly power. She launched an attack on the human army, drawing out more powerful human and abyssal beings, yet just as she was about to devour them all with her Blood River Godslayer Array, the Eternal Heaven blast arrived.

That explosion destroyed the Blood River Godslayer Array, and her ambitions and hope along with it.

With her godly power, she was able to escape from the array just in the nick of time, but her dream of creating a Divine Realm had been completely shattered.

This made her livid with rage. Never did she think that such a powerful abyssal army led by the Spirit Sovereign, who possessed Divine Origin realm spiritual power, would be unable to withstand even a single attack.

The Blood River Godslayer Array was destroyed, and most importantly, the situation that she had manufactured had been ruined. How was she going to be able to set up another scenario where so many powerful abyssal creatures were gathered together in one place?

The abyssal creatures clearly weren’t going to give up, so she could only help them destroy the human race first before finding another opportunity to create the Blood River Godslayer Array again. After that, she would have to think of a way to create her Divine Realm.

However, this would make everything a lot more unpredictable and volatile, and that was why she was harboring such intense fury.

At this moment, Chen Xinjie could feel chills running down his own spine. At the same time, he was struck by a feeling of deep gratitude toward the Tang Sect and Shrek Academy. If they had been as selfish as the Spirit Pagoda and chosen not to use Eternal Heaven, then the entire Douluo Star would be doomed once this insane woman created her Divine Realm.

Thankfully, Eternal Heaven had been used at the most critical juncture, giving everyone a sliver of a chance to turn the tables. Even though Demon Sovereign had already reached the true god level, she was still affected by the restrictive power of the plane and hadn’t managed to created a Divine Realm.
