Chapter 157: Destroy Heaven and Earth, Devour Heaven and Earth! Plan to Destroy History, Activate!
Within the silent room,
as the Ghost Emperor finished his words, a momentary silence descended.
Qiangu Dongfeng's throat involuntarily rolled, his expression solemn, yet a hint of hesitation and struggle flickered in his eyes.
The Ghost Emperor's plan to transport these weren't ordinary fixed-mounted soul-guided cannonballs, but the only three Level 12 fixed-mounted soul-guided cannonballs in the entire Federation!
"Ghost Emperor, you're too bold! Secretly transporting all three in one go is absolutely impossible. As fellow Ultimate Douluos, you and I both understand the power of these three Level 12 fixed-mounted soul-guided cannonballs. This Tower Master hasn't reached the point of single-handedly covering the heavens. Don't be so delusional!" Qiangu Dongfeng said in a deep, measured voice.
These three Level 12 fixed-mounted soul-guided cannonballs were the pinnacle of human technology.
They were all manufactured two thousand years ago, using the resources of the entire continent. After the creation of these three 12th-level fixed-type soul guide shells, human technology stagnated for nearly a thousand years due to the sheer volume of resources consumed, before progressing again.
These three 12th-level fixed-type soul guide shells also have another name: "God-killing!"
This means that these three 12th-level fixed-type soul guide shells truly possess the power to injure or even kill gods.
Even 11th-level fixed-type soul guide shells are inferior to 12th-level fixed-type soul guide shells, which clearly demonstrates their immense power.
Furthermore, these three Level 12 fixed-type soul guide shells are now under the strict custody of the Federation.
"Three is not enough, but that's negotiable, isn't it?" the Ghost Emperor said sinisterly. "Two is fine with this Emperor, but I'll take Heaven and Earth Destruction and Heaven and Earth Devouring. The most powerful, Eternal Heaven, will be left to you."
Qiangu Dongfeng's eyes flickered slightly upon hearing this. "Even two..."
But before Qiangu Dongfeng could refuse, the Ghost Emperor continued, "Qiangu Tower Master, you must know who these two are for."
"Just think about it, these two Level 12 fixed-type soul guide shells, one falling on Shrek Academy and one on Tang Sect headquarters—how wonderful it would be!
" "Once Shrek Academy and the Tang Sect are gone, who can stop the growth of your Spirit Transferring Tower? By then, you won't just be the Qiangu Tower Master, but the entire Federation might also be called Qiangu."
The Ghost Emperor's voice was like a demonic whisper, lingering in Qiangu Dongfeng's ears and entering his heart, causing his breathing to quicken.
He knew full well that the Ghost Emperor was right. If Shrek Academy and the Tang Sect disappeared, their Qiangu Clan would seize the opportunity to gain more seats in the Federation.
At that point, the Federation might truly be within his grasp!
Even if not, he would still be able to control it to a certain extent!
And this was the Federation that ruled the entire continent!
"How do I know what you say is true? What if the Holy Spirit Cult goes back on its word? Wouldn't all my efforts be in vain?" Qiangu Dongfeng said coldly, suppressing the turmoil in his heart.
"Hehehe, Qiangu Tower Master, our enemies now are Shrek Academy and the Tang Sect. I have no reason to lie to you. No one in this world hates Shrek Academy more than I do!" the Ghost Emperor sneered, his tone filled with ruthlessness.
Qiangu Dongfeng's eyes narrowed slightly. He had heard his father speak of this Ghost Emperor.
The Ghost Emperor grew stronger by constantly devouring souls. In his youth, he had encountered the Holy Spirit Douluo Yali. Yali's Prayer Angel possessed supreme divine attributes, capable of suppressing all evil soul masters.
It was during that encounter that the Ghost Emperor was traumatized by Yali, even to the point of damaging his very essence, fundamentally destroying a portion of his foundation.
After pondering, Qiangu Dongfeng's eyes were half-determination, half-hesitation, his open hand unable to close.
Thousands of miles away, in a strange secret chamber, the Ghost Emperor, clad in a dark green robe, waited quietly, his eyes radiating genuine hatred.
Yali had destroyed his foundation, leaving him stuck at the level of a Limit Douluo Quasi-God for life. Becoming a god was simply impossible for him.
If that hadn't been the case, he wouldn't have had to go to such great lengths to first help the Demon Emperor achieve godhood, and then guide him to godhood.
He could even have bypassed the Demon Emperor and connected to the Abyssal Plane, but now he couldn't.
Behind him, the Dark Hummingbird, sensing the hatred and murderous intent, fell silent, not daring to make a single sound.
"Master of the Ancient Tower, opportunity waits for no one. I heard from my subordinates that you were looked down upon by the Shrek Academy residents today. Can you truly tolerate this?" the Ghost Emperor continued to tempt.
"Also, I've heard that the Sky Phoenix Douluo you're pursuing seems to be obsessed with Yun Ming. If Yun Ming dies, wouldn't your chance have arrived?"
"I've even heard that your brother gave you the position of Tower Master because he didn't want it. Don't you want to prove something to your father?"
"Well, I've also heard..."
"Enough!" Qiangu Dongfeng's eyes gradually bloodshot at the Ghost Emperor's words. His hesitation diminished, his resolve intensified, and he angrily interrupted the Ghost Emperor.
"This Tower Master can promise you this, but these two Level 12 fixed-type soul guide shells cannot land anywhere else but on Shrek Academy and the Tang Sect!"
Upon hearing this, the Ghost Emperor's eyes lit up green, and he promised directly, "Don't worry, they'll land in these two places!"
They had been contacting Qiangu Dongfeng for over half a year, and now they were finally about to see results.
"And this Tower Master has one more request." Qiangu Dongfeng thought back to what had happened that day, a chill flashing in his eyes.
"You say," the Ghost Emperor said succinctly.
At this critical moment, Qiangu Dongfeng would grant even a hundred requests, not just one.
"This Tower Master wants Long Yeyue to die in that explosion," Qiangu Dongfeng said in a deep, measured voice. His hatred for that crazy woman, Long Yeyue, far outweighed his hatred for Yun Ming.
"So that's what you're talking about. Don't worry, not only Long Yeyue, but even Yun Ming will die," the Ghost Emperor agreed without hesitation.
In his view, the twelfth-level fixed-type soul guide cannonball was a truly universal weapon.
However, upon hearing Long Yeyue's name, a glint of insight flashed in the Ghost Emperor's eyes. He knew that even, to a certain extent, the rift between the Spirit Pagoda and Shrek Academy was related to this crazy woman.
After all, two hundred years ago, Shrek Academy's then-Sea God Pavilion Master, Tianjuan Douluo, joined forces with the Spirit Pagoda's master to annihilate the Holy Spirit Cult's Dark Emperor.
The rapid deterioration and rupture of the relationship between the Spirit Pagoda and Shrek Academy occurred within that same two-hundred-year period.
While there had been friction in the past, they had always maintained amicable relations on the surface. Now, the situation was just short of a war.
"Tsk, Long Yeyue is truly creating opportunities for our Holy Spirit Cult," the Ghost Emperor thought to himself.
And in his memory, it seemed as if ten thousand years ago, Shrek Academy had also had such a veteran, who, like Long Yeyue, frequently assaulted his teammates...
"This Tower Master demands your promise: Long Yeyue must die!" Qiangu Dongfeng said solemnly.
"This Emperor guarantees it," the Ghost Emperor said, though his heart remained unmoved.
As far as he knew, Long Yeyue was the wife of the previous Sea God Pavilion Master, Tianjuan Douluo, and a Sea God Pavilion elder.
Given Shrek Academy's foolhardy spirit of defending its honor, Long Yeyue would undoubtedly live and die with Shrek Academy. As long as Long Yeyue remained at Shrek Academy, she would be annihilated by the Level 12 fixed-type spirit guide cannonball.
There was no way Long Yeyue would abandon Shrek Academy and run off on her own, right?
The Ghost Emperor chuckled inwardly; this joke wasn't funny at all.
"Very well, it's settled," Qiangu Dongfeng said in a deep voice. "But this isn't as easy as you think. These two Level 12 fixed-type soul guide shells are under the strict supervision of the Federation, and even under the supervision of Chen Xinjie. This Tower Master needs time."
"Don't worry, I'm the most patient," the Ghost Emperor chuckled. "Besides, with Chen Xinjie's supervision, isn't it even better? If he fails in his duties, he will surely be suspended, and you, Qiangu Tower Master, can fill in a few more of your own."
"Hmph! This Tower Master doesn't need you to teach me how to do things," Qiangu Dongfeng snorted.
"Qiangu Tower Master, then this Emperor will wait for good news," the Ghost Emperor's tone remained unchanged, even a hint of temptation.
"The heroes of the future will be you and me!"
With that, the Ghost Emperor smiled and hung up the soul guide device.
"You're not worthy, a bunch of unremarkable sewer rats." Qiangu Dongfeng let out a sneer as he peered through the floor-to-ceiling windows into the distance.
From this vantage point, he could just see Shrek Academy, gleaming in the setting sun.
"It won't be long before this place becomes a pile of ruins. Enjoy the rest of your time here,"
Qiangu Dongfeng muttered, taking a deep look at Shrek Academy.
As the Ghost Emperor had said, Shrek Academy and the Tang Sect were indeed obstacles to their advancement within the Spirit Pagoda.
"This Tower Master doesn't even have a Shrek Academy self-defense force, and I won't allow such a powerful force to exist."
After calming his inner turmoil, Qiangu Dongfeng put on a smile again and headed towards his office.
He needed to resolve not only the external issues but also those within the Spirit Pagoda. The Leng family must be marginalized.
He wanted to conquer both sides, to achieve simultaneous success!
Elsewhere, in the secret room, the Ghost Emperor, after hanging up the communication soul guide, shimmered in his dark eyes, a dark smile of triumph.
With these two level-twelve fixed-type soul guide shells, not only could they eliminate Shrek Academy and the Tang Sect, but they could also gather the maximum amount of blood and resentment needed for the Blood River God-Slaying Formation.
This was truly a plan that killed two birds with one stone.
"Congratulations, Lord Ghost Emperor!" Seeing the success, Dark Hummingbird breathed a sigh of relief and hurried forward to congratulate him.
"This is just the beginning," the Ghost Emperor said calmly, his hands behind his back.
"By the way, how are you doing with the task I asked you to do?"
Hearing this, Dark Hummingbird's heart suddenly tightened.
