The Sea God Clan had worshiped the Sea God Helmet for ten thousand years, but this was the first time it had shown such an intense reaction. Without a moment's hesitation, Chen Huijie immediately led the clan's elite forces out to sea, following the direction indicated by the divine artifact.
It was only when they came face to face with the Demon Empress that Chen Huijie finally understood why the Sea God Helmet had reacted and why he had felt that strange premonition. The Deep Sea Demon Whale and their Sea God Clan were old nemeses, with a deep history. From the first Sea God, Poseidon, to the second, Tang San, there wasn't a generation that hadn't clashed with the Deep Sea Demon Whale.
Chen Huijie also clearly remembered that the direction the Demon Empress came from was the Demon Shark Sea Domain, a territory that belonged to the Demon Soul Great White Shark clan, the mount of the Sea God.
"Deep Sea Demon Whale, what have you done to the Demon Soul Great White Shark clan?"
Chen Huijie held the Sea God Helmet in his hand, floating steadily above the water. His eyes were cold as he looked at the Demon Empress, a hint of wariness in his gaze. A dark premonition welled up in his heart. Judging by the scent of blood on the Demon Empress and the injuries she had sustained, she had clearly just had a fierce battle with the Demon Soul Great White Shark clan. Furthermore, the residual divine power in her wounds suggested that the Demon Soul Great White Shark clan had used the Sea God's divine power in the fight.
"Demon Soul Great White Sharks! Hahaha, there are no Demon Soul Great White Sharks left in this world!"
Although the Demon Empress was stopped by Chen Huijie and his group and was wary of the Sea God Helmet in his hand, she couldn't help but let out a burst of maniacal laughter when the Demon Soul Great White Sharks were mentioned. Destroying the Demon Soul Great White Shark clan had finally allowed her to vent some of the hatred and resentment that had been building for ten thousand years. But at the same time, it had also ignited an even stronger desire for revenge within her.
"How dare you slaughter the Sea God's mounts! Do you want to suffer divine punishment?"
Chen Huijie's face grew uglier. The Demon Soul Great White Shark clan, as the Sea God's mounts, had an extraordinary relationship with their Sea God Clan.
"Hahaha, divine punishment! Let your Sea God come and try! Let him personally punish me!"
After successfully wiping out the Demon Soul Great White Shark clan, the Demon Empress was now certain that the intelligence provided by Mobius was true. The Sea God, Tang San, was preoccupied and couldn't spare any attention for her. At this moment, the Demon Empress was completely uninhibited, the hatred and rage that had been suppressed for so long now pouring out like a broken dam. As for any future reckoning by the Sea God, she had long since put that out of her mind. After enduring for so many years, the frustration in her heart was about to consume her. The moment she found an opportunity, she seized it like a hungry tiger.
"You're courting death!" Chen Huijie's face instantly sank. To blaspheme the Sea God in front of his devout followers—this completely enraged the entire Sea God Clan.
Instantly, Chen Huijie waved his right hand, and over a thousand soul tool warships fired in unison. In a flash, an overwhelming barrage of soul tool cannons rained down, and soul tool rays, like streaks of deadly light, blasted toward the Demon Empress.
"Boom, boom, boom!" All kinds of soul tool cannons and rays accurately struck the Demon Empress's massive body. The deafening explosions and roars intertwined, echoing across the entire sea, as if to completely shatter its tranquility. The bright flames of the violent explosions instantly wrapped the Demon Empress's entire body in a gigantic fiery cloak.
Although the Sea God Clan had chosen to live in seclusion, they were not completely cut off from the outside world. They bore the important responsibility of guarding the sea and also maintained some contact with human society, just not in an open capacity. They also did not interfere with the development of the mainland's situation.
Therefore, the Sea God Clan was not a traditional Soul Master clan in the usual sense. While they were still traditional Soul Masters, they did not underestimate the Sun Moon Empire's soul tool technology. After all, four thousand years ago, the rise of the Sun Moon Empire had nearly forced the Sea God Clan to intervene, and it was only with Shrek Academy's powerful prestige and strength that the situation was saved.
Unlike the conservative factions on the Douluo Continent, the Sea God Clan was more willing to adapt to the times. They secretly arranged for clan members to infiltrate the Sun Moon Empire to learn advanced soul tool technology. Their hard work paid off, and they truly learned a lot of cutting-edge knowledge from the Sun Moon Empire.
These thousands of soul tool warships were the result of the Sea God Clan's years of quiet accumulation. Each warship was equipped with a large number of advanced soul tools with various functions. From defensive soul tools with powerful defensive capabilities to reconnaissance soul tools that could accurately detect enemies, to astonishingly powerful offensive soul tools—they had it all.
On the vast ocean, the combat power of each soul tool warship was no less than that of a powerful Soul Douluo. Imagine the terror of a combined attack from a thousand Soul Douluos. Even a Level 99 Limit Douluo would likely retreat and dare not face such a powerful offensive head-on.
However, the Demon Empress was not an ordinary Level 99 Limit Douluo. Soul beasts naturally possessed bodies far more powerful than human Soul Masters. What's more, she was no longer a simple soul beast but had evolved into a Ruler. In her peak state, the Demon Empress might not have even paid attention to such an attack. But right now, she had just been injured by the Sea God's clone summoned by the Demon Soul Great White Shark clan using the Sea God's divine power, and her injuries had not yet healed.
Facing this overwhelming attack, she had no choice but to immediately use the powerful ability of the Ruler of Thunder, rapidly releasing an electromagnetic barrier in an attempt to block some of the metal shrapnel from the soul tool cannon explosions.
"Very well, you have completely enraged me. Let me show you the wrath of lightning!"
The Demon Empress's voice was as cold as ice. Originally, she had been somewhat wary of the Sea God Clan holding the Sea God Helmet. After all, she had just suffered a great loss from the Sea God's divine power and didn't want to fight them while heavily injured.
But at this moment, anger had completely clouded her mind. She had only one thought: all of the Sea God's followers must die! What's more, a clan like the Sea God Clan, which held a divine artifact of the Sea God, must hold a higher position in the Sea God's heart than the Demon Soul Great White Shark clan. Annihilating the Sea God Clan would surely be a heavier blow to the Sea God Tang San than annihilating the Demon Soul Great White Shark clan, which would also give her a more intense feeling of revenge.
With this thought, the Demon Empress instantly took on her human form. A gigantic silhouette of a Deep Sea Demon Whale rose into the sky like a black bolt of lightning, then plunged directly into the Demon Empress's body.
As a brilliant, white lightning flashed like a firework, a fearsome set of thunderous armor slowly manifested on the Demon Empress.
It was a set of dark purple, semi-transparent crystalline armor, with liquid lightning surging within it, and blue-white bio-electric light shining like elves. The joints of the armor were meticulously covered with the Deep Sea Demon Whale's purplish-black scales, and electric sparks crackled between each one.
On the chest of the armor, a constantly spinning plasma vortex sphere was embedded, and at its core was the powerful Conquest Gem, emitting a strange light. Twelve superconducting magnetic rings hovered behind her back. Each one compressed a terrifying amount of lightning, as if it could erupt at any moment and destroy everything.
The Demon Empress's long hair was now entirely made of a mixture of liquid mercury and lightning, with the tips of her hair bursting into continuous electrical plasma beams, like burning flames. A spiral narwhal horn grew on her forehead, and playful arcs of electricity danced on its tip, as if venting their master's rage.
Her originally crimson eyes had now turned into a brilliant white, with no pupils, like two burning white flames. Her face was covered by a shattered whale bone mask, and ionized mist constantly spewed from the cracks in the mask, adding to her mysterious and terrifying aura.
It could be said that the Demon Empress's Ruler of Thunder form was neither human nor divine, but it was undoubtedly a perfect form that perfectly fit the concept of thunder, as if she had become the embodiment of lightning.
In her Ruler of Thunder form, the Demon Empress's armored finger gently tapped the void, and an invisible electromagnetic pulse rippled outwards.
In an instant, thousands of soul tool warships stopped dead in their tracks. Although the core of a soul tool warship was a soul tool array and soul power, as long as there were metal components, they could not escape the influence of an electromagnetic pulse.
The Sea God Clan's decision to bring this fleet of soul tool warships to deal with the Demon Empress now seemed to be their biggest blunder.
While soul tools were essentially technological creations, their cores were soul tool arrays and soul power. Logically, they should not have been vulnerable to ordinary lightning. However, the Demon Empress's ability was not merely the control of lightning but the more powerful control of electromagnetic force. Metal was naturally within the range of her electromagnetic control, and most soul tools were, coincidentally, made of metal.
"Sea Abyss Siphon!" After successfully immobilizing the fleet with the electromagnetic pulse, the Demon Empress slowly opened her palm, and an electromagnetic vortex with a diameter of a thousand meters instantly formed beneath her feet. The vortex was like a greedy behemoth, instantly draining the surrounding seawater and rapidly electrolyzing it into hydrogen-oxygen bombs.
In a flash, a surge of blue-white lightning flames erupted like a raging torrent, instantly vaporizing the ocean for thousands of meters around. The water vapor rose into the air at high temperatures, forming a giant cloud of mist.
"Quick, activate the soul tool shields!" Facing the terrifying explosion, the captains of all the soul tool warships roared in panic. Because of the electromagnetic pulse, the soul tool warships were unable to move and could only passively defend. They all activated their soul tool shields, trying to withstand the deadly attack.
One shield after another appeared like a giant barrier on the turbulent ocean, resisting the terrifying explosion and the high-pressure water blades mixed within it.
