The Demon Empress's attack was released, only to be met by Lin Xiao's even more powerful force.
After breaking through to the limit, Lin Xiao's strength had already undergone a qualitative improvement compared to before. Moreover, they were currently near the Eternal Tower, a creation that surpassed all soul tools.
Even though, according to Electrolux, it did not possess even half the power of the original Eternal Tower, it was still not to be underestimated.
If he had his current strength back when facing the Evil Emperor, Lin Xiao would probably have been much more composed.
The Demon Empress's expression changed repeatedly. In both attacks, she had come out on the losing end. She had even suffered a considerable hidden loss in the second attack just now.
She glanced back, and an idea instantly formed in her mind.
After all, this was land. As a sea soul beast, she could not fully exert her own power here. Furthermore, they were near the Eternal Tower, so under the circumstances where one side gained what the other lost, continuing to fight would likely mean she would never gain any advantage.
The moment this thought arose, she instantly abandoned her original plan. With a flash of her figure, she headed toward the extreme north.
Her figure moved as if swimming through the air. She hadn't used much soul power, yet her speed was not slow at all. She was about to disappear from Lin Xiao's field of vision.
Lin Xiao turned his head to look in that direction. With his perception, he had already sensed that Abomination was constantly approaching this place, but it was already too late for him to leave even a single word.
The Demon Empress's plan was inextricably linked to the arrangements inside the Eternal Tower. As long as the planar passage had not been opened, even if she escaped this time, she would definitely come again later.
Moreover, once the Abyss descended, given the Demon Empress's connection with the Abyss plane, she would definitely stand on the Abyss's side, and she would be even more difficult to deal with than now.
Since they had already become enemies, it would be better to deal with this major threat in advance.
His thoughts surged extremely quickly. In just an instant, Lin Xiao had already made his decision. As his figure flickered, ripples appeared in the space, and his form similarly vanished in the blink of an eye.
By the time Abomination found the vicinity, aside from the traces left on the ground, there was naturally nothing else.
On the other side, the Demon Empress fled while repeatedly turning her head to look behind her, trying to find Lin Xiao's tracks.
Just as Lin Xiao had expected, she naturally would not give up so easily. She wanted revenge, but relying on her own power alone was a distant prospect.
To take revenge against a god, she could only borrow the power of the Abyss plane to reach that realm faster.
Since the Eternal Tower already had an owner, it would naturally be better if she could eliminate Lin Xiao before that.
What she feared was not that Lin Xiao would chase after her, but that Lin Xiao would not chase after her.
After all, to deal with such an opponent, she still needed the ocean terrain, which was more advantageous to her.
Time continued to pass. For a powerhouse like the Demon Empress, traveling from the extreme north to the Ice Sea would not consume too much time.
She turned her head once more. In the distance, she saw the figure following behind her, and her heart immediately felt somewhat at ease.
However, just as she drew closer and closer to the coast, when she could already sense the aura of the ocean, a trace of unease suddenly flashed through her heart.
In the next instant, a pillar of light interwoven with sea blue and brilliant gold shone from ahead, shooting straight toward the Demon Empress.
The speed of the light pillar was extremely fast. In just the blink of an eye, it arrived before the Demon Empress. The unease in her heart and the attack from the front arrived almost simultaneously. Even with the Demon Empress's cultivation and reaction speed, she could only barely avoid the most fatal part of the attack.
Her body was grazed by the outer edge of the light pillar, and the cloak on the Demon Empress instantly turned to ash.
The attack did not stop there. After the light pillar appeared, it lingered for a long time, continuously tearing at the Demon Empress's body. Soon, a wound split open on her.
"Roar—"
A roar unlike that of a human erupted from the Demon Empress's mouth. Her entire face instantly became ferocious.
Through the wound, it could be seen that beneath the Demon Empress's skin was not flesh and blood like a human's, but layers of ripples like seawater constantly undulating.
Her human form was not achieved through transformation. Now, under this attack, she was clearly unable to maintain this human appearance any longer.
In the distance, Lin Xiao followed behind the Demon Empress. Although he had known all along that Chen Haisheng was waiting in the sea, seeing this attack still made him slightly surprised. He had not expected that Chen Haisheng's strength seemed to have improved a little compared to when he had dealt with the Evil Emperor previously.
"You—"
The Demon Empress's roar was mixed with indistinct words. The fury within them was completely unconcealed, as if she wanted to pour out all the grudges from the past ten thousand years at this moment.
"You… and the Sea God… what is your relationship?"
The Demon Empress's intermittent voice finally formed a complete sentence. The moment her words sounded, her figure suddenly became enormous, floating in the air and covering the sky, making the already gloomy extreme north region feel as if it had entered nighttime.
Seeing the Demon Empress reveal her true form, the hatred in her words allowed Lin Xiao to completely confirm his guess.
On the other side, the gold-and-blue light pillar gradually dissipated, and Chen Haisheng's figure slowly emerged. Looking at the enormous body in the air, his expression also darkened considerably.
"Deep Sea Demonic Whale…" Chen Haisheng seemed to be responding to the Demon Empress's question, or perhaps speaking to himself. "According to the clan's records, ten thousand years ago, when the contemporary Sea God inherited the divine position, he eliminated a Deep Sea Demonic Whale King."
"What is your relationship with that soul beast?"
"What relationship?"
The Demon Empress seemed to have heard the greatest joke. "Hahahahaha, you killed my husband, and now you still ask me what relationship I have with him?"
"The Sea God protects the creatures of the sea, only acting to maintain the peace of the ocean. The Deep Sea Demonic Whale King wantonly slaughtered other sea soul beasts and brought disaster everywhere. It was he himself who invited the calamity." Chen Haisheng frowned slightly.
"Hahahaha, protect the creatures of the sea? After my husband died, countless sea soul beasts invaded and destroyed my home. At that time, where was the Sea God you speak of, who protects the creatures of the sea? Am I not considered a creature of the sea?"
Chen Haisheng was momentarily speechless.
If he had been the Sea God, after eliminating the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King, had he known about the Demon Empress's situation, he probably would have settled the subsequent matters properly as well.
It was a pity that he was not the Sea God of that time, nor could he guess what the Sea God had been thinking.
The Demon Empress also did not wait for Chen Haisheng's response. The more she spoke, the more frenzied the power on her body became. Her voice had still been somewhat clear earlier, but as she spoke of the past events, her tone grew increasingly deranged, and it gradually became impossible to make out exactly what she was saying.
Lin Xiao looked at Chen Haisheng from afar. From his expression, he read the same thought.
The Demon Empress was becoming somewhat deranged.
Lin Xiao recalled the memories from his previous life. In the original story, the Demon Empress seemed to have experienced a period of madness before encountering the Holy Spirit Cult…
Regardless of whether the Demon Empress had fallen back into madness after recalling the past events, the current situation no longer allowed him to think too much.
