Chapter 243 - Chapter 243: Knowledge Is Power

The Demon Emperor's true form was that of a Deep Sea Demon Whale. She was naturally able to control the power of the ocean, and at this moment, she perfectly combined the power of the ocean with the power of lightning, unleashing a power far beyond imagination.

Although the soul tool battleships reacted quickly, under such a terrifying attack, many battleships were completely submerged in the turbulent sea under the dual blow of explosions and high-pressure water blades.

Upon seeing this, Chen Huijie's face showed both shock and anger. He had never expected the Demon Emperor's power to be so effective against soul tools. Unable to contain the anger in his heart any longer, Chen Huijie decided to act personally. Although he was not a true demigod and had not condensed a divine sense, on this vast ocean, under the powerful blessing of the divine tool, the Sea God Helmet, Chen Huijie's strength was enough to reach the demigod level. This battle had already turned into a fierce confrontation between two demigods.

A blue divine light spread out like a tide, quickly covering the entire ocean. This divine power had sovereignty over the ocean, instantly stripping the Demon Emperor of her control over the sea. The raging waves that had been stirred up by the explosions gradually subsided under the influence of this divine power.

"This annoying divine power again!" The Demon Emperor's glowing white eyes were like two searchlights, shooting out two dazzling beams of electricity that instantly pierced through two unlucky soul tool battleships. The battleships instantly exploded under the impact of the electric beams, turning into countless fragments that scattered into the sea.

"Sea God's True Body!" Chen Huijie roared and activated his martial soul true body without hesitation. In an instant, countless ocean currents gathered toward Chen Huijie as if summoned. In the blink of an eye, Chen Huijie transformed into a thousand-meter-tall sea giant, looking like the Sea God had descended upon the world. The Sea God Helmet on his head also expanded accordingly and was firmly placed on the sea giant's head, adding a few more layers of majesty and divinity.

"Rushing Sea Fist!" As his hundred-thousand-year soul ring shone with a dazzling light, endless ocean currents quickly gathered and compressed in Chen Huijie's right hand. The flowing water seemed soft, but it contained ultimate destructive power. He threw a punch, and the air seemed to be torn apart, letting out a mournful wail. A terrifying wave of air surged toward the Demon Emperor.

The Demon Emperor naturally wouldn't sit still and wait for death. The twelve superconducting magnetic rings on her back instantly released endless lightning. These lightnings were like giant galloping dragons, quickly compressing at the tip of the Demon Emperor's finger. Immediately after, a lightning beam streaked across the sky and shot out, instantly tearing through the void.

The lightning's penetrating power was extremely strong. Chen Huijie's fist was instantly pierced through, and his entire arm burst into a dazzling electric light. The light was like a small sun, continuously expanding, making it almost impossible to look at directly. However, Chen Huijie's Sea God's True Body turned him into a part of the ocean, giving him a continuous life force like the ocean. He immediately disassembled his right hand, which instantly turned into a puddle of seawater. After losing its carrier, the lightning also dispersed in the void like a spent arrow. As the seawater re-condensed, Chen Huijie's right arm was restored to its original state. In this vast sea, with his sea martial soul, he seemed to be inherently invincible.

Seeing that their clan leader was at a temporary disadvantage in the battle, the other members of the Sea God Clan naturally didn't stand by. They once again used their soul tools to provide long-range support for Chen Huijie. On one of the soul tool battleships, a ninth-grade fixed-bullet soul tool cannonball was even fired. The moment the Demon Emperor sensed this cannonball, her brow furrowed slightly. It must be noted that the power of this ninth-grade fixed-bullet soul tool cannonball was enough to rival a full-power strike from a Limit Douluo. Even she would never want to face such an attack head-on.

This ninth-grade fixed-bullet soul tool cannonball was not made by the Sea God Clan themselves. With their current technology, they were unable to create such a powerful soul tool. They had paid a huge price to secretly get it from the Sun Moon Empire. Originally, the Sea God Clan planned to use it for research to try to peek into the secrets of the Sun Moon Empire's soul tool technology, but at this moment, they had to use it in this life-and-death battle with the Demon Emperor.

The Demon Emperor naturally wouldn't let this ninth-grade fixed-bullet soul tool cannonball explode at close range, otherwise, the consequences would be unimaginable. She pointed her finger, and lightning raged. Countless lightning bolts shot out, accurately locking onto the soul tool cannonballs flying toward her and detonating them one by one.

As a giant mushroom cloud rose slowly from the sea, the spectacular sight was as if the end of the world had arrived. The shockwave from the explosion instantly swept across an area of tens of kilometers. The sea violently churned under the impact of the shockwave, and the waves were dozens of meters high, as if they wanted to swallow everything in the world, presenting a tragic scene of doomsday.

This ninth-grade fixed-bullet soul tool cannonball lived up to its reputation. Although its attack power was only comparable to a full-power strike from a Limit Douluo, its terrifying range had already surpassed that of an ordinary demigod, which was both amazing and terrifying.

On the battlefield of individual combat, a ninth-grade fixed-bullet soul tool cannonball might not be enough to make people tremble in fear. After all, an individual could rely on their own strength and adaptability to have room to dodge. However, once placed in a large-scale war or a siege, its power would be magnified infinitely. Its deterrent force was far from what a Limit Douluo could compare to. It was like the Sword of Damocles hanging over the enemy's head, and its mere existence was enough to make the enemy feel intimidated.

"Annoying!" An impatient look appeared on the Demon Emperor's face. She was now seriously injured, and the battle with Chen Huijie had already required her to be fully focused and give her all. And those dense soul tool battleships were like annoying flies in her eyes, constantly interfering with her fighting rhythm.

With this thought in mind, the Demon Emperor slowly took a step forward. With each step, the void was like a lit powder keg, instantly bursting with high-pressure electric arcs. Bolts of lightning, like silver snakes, quickly spread from her to the entire void, as if to weave this world into a net of lightning.

"Listen to the applause of a million souls in this thunder and lightning storm!" As the Demon Emperor's cold and almost emotionless voice echoed on the sea, a strange subsonic wave mixed with the whale song of lightning resounded throughout the entire ocean in a shocking way. The sound seemed to come from the abyss, carrying endless gloom and terror.

"Not good!" Chen Huijie's face instantly changed. Even with the protection of a divine tool like the Sea God Helmet, he couldn't help but be momentarily distracted. He only felt a daze in his mind and almost fell into the ghost-like illusion.

The situation of the other members of the Sea God Clan was much worse. At this moment, a huge Deep Sea Demon Whale appeared out of thin air in front of their eyes, opening its bloody mouth as if to swallow them in one bite. At the same time, their bodies also began to spontaneously combust along with the strange sound wave frequency, letting out bursts of painful screams.

This was the unique move that the Demon Emperor had developed by combining her own racial characteristics with her ability to control electromagnetism—the Plasma Whale Song. This move was a divine skill for slaughtering the weak. It was perfect for clearing out those relatively weak "minions." The subsonic waves could easily cause people to fall into the abyss of illusions, while the electromagnetic force could manipulate the human body's magnetic field, causing the body to spontaneously combust. Once hit, as long as one couldn't break free from that terrifying illusion in the first instant, they could only watch themselves head toward self-destruction, completely unable to control their own destiny.

With the Demon Emperor's current powerful mental strength, which had condensed a divine sense, very few people in this world who were weaker than her could resist this move.

"Dark Flow Magnetic Storm!" The Demon Emperor wouldn't be merciful. For her, beating a man when he's down was her usual style. As she waved her hands quickly, as if she was manipulating a symphony of destruction, the calm ocean began to shake violently, and the seawater boiled as if it had been brought to a boil.

The blue surface of the sea was gradually dyed a strange red color, as if it had been stained with blood. The Demon Emperor successfully triggered an abnormal change in the geomagnetic field by controlling electromagnetism, which in turn led to a chain eruption of submarine volcanoes. The hot magma and the cold seawater collided, producing a violent chemical reaction and generating chlorine ion thunderclouds. In an instant, countless corrosive acid lightnings poured down from the sky like a torrential downpour, as if they wanted to corrode everything in the world.

With the Demon Emperor's original knowledge level, which was as poor as that of an illiterate person, it would be a fantasy for her to use electromagnetism so smoothly and skillfully in battle. With her knowledge level, she could only release powerful lightning to attack the enemy in a simple and brutal way. This was already the limit of her ability.

But Mobius had long anticipated this. Knowing that the Demon Emperor was illiterate, she specifically instilled some knowledge about electromagnetism into the Demon Emperor without any reservations. And the Demon Emperor showed a surprising ability to learn. In the past, the reason she was ignorant of this knowledge was that it didn't directly help her become stronger, and on the other hand, she had no access to learning and had never been exposed to related concepts. However, after Mobius opened this door of knowledge for her, she was like an explorer who had found a treasure and quickly got the hang of it.

After all, for a Herrscher's authority, the more knowledgeable they were, the more they could unleash their powerful strength. Otherwise, they could only display the Herrscher's authority in the most superficial and basic way. For example, if the Herrscher of Thunder didn't understand electromagnetism, she would only be a simple electric girl. Or the Herrscher of Wind, even if she had the almost invincible authority to control ideal fluids, if she fell into the hands of some ignorant person, she could only be used to blow some wind. After all, a Herrscher's authority is related to the rules of physics. To unleash the most powerful strength, knowledge of physics is a must, which perfectly explains what is called "knowledge is power."
