"Teacher!"
Lin Xiao called out softly with a hint of joy.
Previously, Lin Xiao was unsure where the Demon Empress's blood-sacrifice method came from. If she had obtained the technique only after coming into contact with the abyss, it was uncertain whether she carried any news of Electrolux's divine sense fragment.
But now, he could confirm it, the aura of Electrolux on the Demon Empress was unmistakably clear.
Perhaps she had encountered another broken divine sense fragment of Electrolux by chance, or perhaps she had accidentally swallowed it while devouring other sea soul beasts.
Regardless, Electrolux's divine sense fragment was now clearly present on the Demon Empress.
Electrolux naturally sensed it as well. Upon hearing Lin Xiao's words, he immediately understood what he meant.
"Disciple, maintain your domain well."
"Mm." Lin Xiao nodded.
The current Electrolux only had a broken divine sense left, which had turned into Lin Xiao's second martial soul. He could not exist for long in the real world.
However, within Lin Xiao's domain, the boundary between life and death was blurred, so Electrolux's figure could naturally appear here. That said, bearing the power after Electrolux manifested was not exactly easy for Lin Xiao either.
Slightly calming his mind, Lin Xiao restrained his aura. Then, gray mist surged throughout the entire world, coalescing toward the sky.
In this underworld, the Lich King of the Undead Calamity, the Death Saint Magic God Electrolux, who should have been dead, returned once more.
The moment Electrolux appeared, Lin Xiao's expression sank sharply.
His domain was supported by his soul power, spiritual power, sea of spirit, and the plane of the dead together. Though called a domain, it was more like a real world attached to him.
It was precisely this real world, based on his eighth soul skill and descending upon the Douluo World in the form of a domain, that had easily broken the Demon Empress's domain.
And using this world to bear Electrolux's near-godly power—even if it was only a fragment—put immense pressure on Lin Xiao.
If it weren't necessary to trap the Demon Empress here this way, Lin Xiao would probably have chosen a gentler method.
Electrolux understood this as well. After appearing, he said nothing extra and simply raised his hand. The long staff formed from coalesced gray mist pointed toward the Demon Empress.
"Pru—te—ya—bi—"
The incantation to summon the divine sense fragment back rang out once more. This time it was not chanted by Lin Xiao but echoed throughout heaven and earth in Electrolux's deep, resonant voice.
In the next instant, a gray light suddenly shone from the Demon Empress's abdomen. Something seemed to pass through her body and flew rapidly toward Lin Xiao.
On the other side, Chen Haisheng had long been dumbfounded.
From the moment he realized that the place he was in was Lin Xiao's domain, he had already been shocked by the power Lin Xiao displayed. What he hadn't expected was that this was only the beginning.
The Demon Empress's suddenly rising aura, the tall gray figure that suddenly appeared behind Lin Xiao, the resounding incantation, and the power he could not understand at all.
Every single one of these things was shattering his cognition. He suddenly realized that, as the guardian of Sea God Island, his understanding of the outside world was shockingly shallow.
At this moment, neither Lin Xiao nor the Demon Empress had any attention to spare for Chen Haisheng's thoughts.
The aura that had just erupted from the Demon Empress instantly dissipated. Instead, as the figure of Electrolux behind Lin Xiao disappeared, an uncontrollable aura of death spread from Lin Xiao's body, making the gray mist in the entire underworld even denser.
"Teacher, how is it?"
"Mm, it is indeed my divine sense fragment." Electrolux felt his divine sense become a few traces more complete. "Just as previously expected, it contains some records regarding sacrificial magic."
"However, this divine sense fragment is contaminated with too many chaotic auras. It will still take some time to fully fuse."
"Mm." Lin Xiao nodded slightly and did not ask further. With Electrolux's strength, handling his own divine sense fragment should not pose any problem.
Putting aside his thoughts, his gaze fell once more on the Demon Empress.
Feeling the aura on her that had already wilted, Lin Xiao breathed a slight sigh of relief.
Although the current Demon Empress was still difficult to deal with, she did not yet possess the powerful strength from his memories of his previous life.
"Are you someone from the abyss?"
The Demon Empress's voice suddenly rang out, her tone carrying a few traces of weakness.
"No." Lin Xiao shook his head.
"Impossible!" The Demon Empress's tone suddenly became somewhat agitated. "They promised me an even more powerful blood sacrifice method. If you are not one of them, how could you have the means to master this power?"
Upon hearing this, Lin Xiao immediately understood.
The Demon Empress had accidentally obtained the blood sacrifice method from Electrolux's divine sense fragment. The abyss plane had taken a fancy to this point and promised her an even more powerful array, with their condition being nothing more than helping them open the abyss passage or other matters related to it.
This was also why the Demon Empress's current strength was far from being as powerful as in his memories.
Seeing Chen Haisheng beside him also glance toward him, Lin Xiao shook his head slightly. "The method I used is not the same as the abyss. You… never mind."
Lin Xiao was about to speak, but he saw that the clarity in the Demon Empress's eyes was growing less and less.
Seeing that even the means she used to become stronger had been taken away by Lin Xiao, the Demon Empress fell back into madness once more. Lin Xiao no longer had any intention of explaining to her.
"Roar—"
Another roar sounded. The Demon Empress, who had just endured the attack from the stars, seemed to have forgotten the injuries on her body and pounced madly toward Chen Haisheng.
Chen Haisheng's expression changed. He raised his hands, but within Lin Xiao's domain, there was no seawater for him to control.
Just as the Demon Empress's attack was about to land, several figures appeared from nowhere and joined forces to block the Demon Empress.
In this domain at the intersection of life and death, the souls that had once passed away now regained the power to fight once more.
On the other side, Lin Xiao had already approached the frenzied Demon Empress. His right palm rose, and the red and blue colors of the River of the Underworld's Embrace alternated and flickered on his body. The ninth soul ring beside him suddenly lit up.
On that blood-red soul ring, strands of gray patterns became even more distinct in this underworld already filled with gray mist. Lin Xiao raised his hand and gently placed it on the Demon Empress's massive body.
There was no powerful aura, nor any grand momentum, only what seemed like a light, floating palm.
Yet under this single palm, the Demon Empress suddenly stopped all her movements.
Ninth soul skill: The Other Shore.
An illusory figure suddenly appeared on the Demon Empress's body. It was much smaller than the Demon Empress herself. The moment it appeared, it was unconsciously drawn by the underworld and merged into the place where souls resided.
Lin Xiao looked at that rather "delicate" figure crossing the shores of life and death and merging into the crowd of souls, and let out a soft sigh.
Ever since the Deep Sea Demon Whale King died, the Demon Empress had done countless things for revenge, even driving herself into madness.
Lin Xiao did not wish to pursue anything further against a sea soul beast that had already died, so he would let this frenzied soul fall into deep slumber within the underworld.
