Douluo Continent: The Holy Evil Emperor

This time, it was the members of the Holy Spirit Cult who were dumbfounded.

The title of Holy Emperor has a far greater symbolic meaning than practical significance in the Holy Spirit Cult. It is unknown from which period of the Holy Spirit Cult it originated, but today's Holy Spirit Cult members have long regarded the Holy Emperor as a figure of deception.

Just like those bald monks with grotesque faces, when they come out to preach, they always need a famous god behind them, right? If the god behind them doesn't have a great reputation, who will believe in them and risk their lives for them?

That's what they think too.

This includes Ye Xishui and Long Xiaoyao as well.

Now, Ye Qing jumps out and tells them that their Holy Emperor is actually real?

The group of evil spirit masters looked at each other, seeing bewilderment and confusion in each other's eyes.

On the contrary, Ye Xishui and Zhong Liwu, among other high-ranking officials, quickly came to their senses after the initial confusion.

"Elder, may I elaborate?" A glint flashed in Ye Xishui's eyes.

The rise of their Holy Spirit Cult is shrouded in mystery. The current members of the Holy Spirit Cult have long forgotten their past. Ye Xishui actually hates the Holy Spirit Cult very much and has also read through the ancient books within the cult, the authenticity of which is unknown.

The title 'Holy Emperor' is mentioned many times in ancient books, and the person who compiled that book showed a fervent respect and faith in that Holy Emperor between the lines.

At the time, she certainly didn't think much of it and even felt a bit disdainful.

What's the use of believing in others? If believing in that Holy Emperor were truly effective, why would their Holy Spirit Cult be treated like rats in the street, hated by everyone? The entire Douluo Continent should belong to their Holy Spirit Cult.

However, Ye Qing's appearance changed Ye Xishui's views.

Could it be that... they made a mistake in how they worshipped that Holy Emperor, which is why the Holy Emperor never brought them any blessings from beginning to end?

"Those present are all high-ranking members of the Holy Spirit Cult, and you must be familiar with our Holy Emperor." Ye Qing nodded and said in a serious tone, "But do you know who our Holy Emperor is, and why we revere him?"

"Please enlighten me, Elder!" Zhongli Wu clasped his hands and bowed deeply to Ye Qing.

The others followed Zhongli Wu's example and bowed to Ye Qing.

"Please enlighten me, Elder!"

"Then listen carefully!" Ye Qing said proudly, head held high.

"My current level of cultivation is all thanks to the Asura God! The Asura God is also the supreme Holy Emperor of our Holy Spirit Cult, and the most revered leader of us Evil Soul Masters!"

Yes, at the beginning, Tang San obtained the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger Martial Soul by elbowing him. It is said that Tang San is the main reason for his current strength, which is indeed true. Moreover, the Demon Soul Bone Shark King was made from the Demon Soul Great White Shark clan. This puppet with extreme combat power is also inseparable from Tang San.

I wasn't lying!

It doesn't matter whether Tang San is the Holy Emperor of the Holy Spirit Cult or not. As long as Ye Qing says he is, then he is!

Chapter 244 Tang San is the God of Evil Soul Masters!

"God Shura?"

The members of the Holy Spirit Cult were even more confused.

Even though Tang San often refers to himself as the God of the Sea, and his name in Douluo Continent is Tang San the God of the Sea, everyone knows that Tang San is a god who has attained dual godhood. In addition to the God of the Sea, he also has the God of Asura.

It was precisely because Tang San was one with two gods that he was able to defeat the evil Spirit Hall's two gods in the God War, ushering in a new era for Douluo Continent.

This is clearly recorded in history books.

Tang San, the Sea God who protects Douluo Continent, is actually the Holy Emperor Shura God of the Holy Spirit Cult behind the scenes.

"Elder, please stop joking. Sea God Tang San is a deity who protects Shrek Academy. How could he become the Holy Emperor of our Holy Spirit Cult?" Zhongli Wu said with a somewhat forced smile, trying to be tactful.

If it were someone else spouting such nonsense in front of Zhongli Wu, he would probably have summoned the Bone Dragon King and unleashed a breath of dragon fire on them on the spot.

To this, Ye Qing merely sneered and said, "No wonder the Holy Emperor doesn't protect you. You're simply ignorant and narrow-minded. It's up to me to lead you; that's the right path!"

"Listen up, all of you! Remember the Holy Emperor's favor to our Holy Spirit Cult, and spread the Holy Emperor's fame as you travel the continent!"

Ye Xishui wanted to interrupt Ye Qing and stop him from continuing his nonsense, but she also really wanted to see how Ye Qing could come up with a reasonable explanation to prove that the Asura God Tang San was indeed the Holy Emperor of their Holy Spirit Cult.

After some hesitation, Ye Xishui finally calmed down and stared at Ye Qing's retreating figure with a deep gaze.

If this Nightmare Douluo can't provide a reasonable explanation, don't blame her for turning her back on him. She brought him into the Holy Spirit Cult as a tool, not for him to spout nonsense and mislead the public.

"Ten thousand years ago, the Spirit Hall ruled the entire continent. Even the undivided Heaven Dou Empire and Star Luo Empire could only rely on the Spirit Hall and were unable to contend with its power." Ye Qing recounted the 'secret' from ten thousand years ago in a detached tone.

"In that era, we evil soul masters had a particularly difficult time. The Spirit Hall had branches all over the continent. Whenever an evil soul master appeared, the Spirit Hall would eliminate them with the most ruthless methods. The Six-Winged Angel, the inherited spirit of the Spirit Hall's Pope lineage, was our greatest nemesis. Under the pressure of the Spirit Hall, we evil soul masters only had two paths to take: either die in the Spirit Hall's purge or be driven into the Fallen City, the Slaughter City. And this Slaughter City was a prison where there was no way out."

"Of course, the rule that there is no way out once you enter the City of Slaughter was set up by a god to find his successor and inherit his divine position."

"The master of the City of Slaughter is none other than the God of Asura."

These secrets have long been buried in the river of time and are no longer known to anyone. They only know that ten thousand years ago, almost no evil spirit masters could run rampant under the rule of the Spirit Hall, but they do not know that there is a prison called the Slaughter City in Douluo Continent, which is used to imprison them.

Even Long Xiaoyao became interested this time, listening silently to Ye Qing recount the hidden history.

Whether true or false, secrets related to gods are worth knowing, especially since Ye Qing spoke so eloquently, making it highly likely that they actually exist.

The entire Holy Spirit Cult fell silent. Hundreds of evil spirit masters listened attentively to every word Ye Qing said, like well-behaved students in a classroom.

"Perhaps you are unaware that before obtaining the Sea God's position, the Holy Emperor had already received the inheritance of the Asura God's position. It was a divinely bestowed domain called the Killing God Domain. As long as one's killing intent is strong enough, the domain can be strengthened without limit." Ye Qing said with a cold smile and an inscrutable tone.

"The world only knows the Sea God Tang San, but they don't know that the Holy Emperor is also a god of slaughter, the Asura God. The reason he became our Holy Emperor is because he destroyed the Slaughter City and released our ancestors from prison."

"Speaking of the Holy Emperor... Sect Leader Zhongli should have a deep understanding of this, right? As far as I know, Sect Leader Zhongli seems to have found a Holy Maiden for the Holy Sect not long ago?" Ye Qing looked at Zhongli Wu and asked with a smile.

Zhongli Wu was slightly taken aback and subconsciously looked at Tang Ya beside him.

At this moment, Tang Ya was shrouded in a black robe, her delicate face expressionless, and her empty eyes filled with indifference.

“That’s right, this is our sect’s Blue Silver Saintess.” Zhongli Wu nodded.

"Blue Silver Saintess, with the martial soul Dark Blue Silver King, possesses the ability to devour life and souls." Ye Qing flashed and appeared in front of Tang Ya, pinching her chin and lifting her face.

"Hehe... Perhaps Sect Leader Zhongli is unaware that the Blue Silver Saintess has quite a background. She was the last sect leader of the Tang Sect established by the Holy Emperor, and her name is Tang Ya. In a sense, she is also the successor of the Holy Emperor."

"What?!" Zhong Liwu was stunned. He really didn't know about this. He had always thought that Tang Ya was a wild evil spirit master.

He didn't even know Tang Ya's name.

"The Holy Emperor also possesses the Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul, and he has also absorbed the Soul Rings of evil Soul Beasts like the Human-Faced Demon Spider. Furthermore, he has the eight spider legs of the Human-Faced Demon Spider as his external Soul Bone. Sect Leader Zhongli, do you think our Holy Emperor is really as the rumors outside the world say?" Ye Qing ignored Tang Ya's weak resistance and turned to look at Zhongli Wu with a half-smile.

Zhongli Wu frowned deeply, feeling increasingly uneasy and terrified as he thought about it.

"The Holy Emperor needs someone to spread his fame throughout the Douluo Continent. Unfortunately, in this battle for faith, you lost to Shrek Academy." Ye Qing released Tang Ya and concluded in a detached tone.

"Shrek was able to receive the Holy Emperor's blessing because they made sure the Holy Emperor's glory spread throughout the Douluo Continent. What we need to do is make the three words 'Asura God' the supreme deity of the Douluo Continent, so that the world will revere and believe in our Holy Emperor! Only in this way can you receive the Holy Emperor's blessing, just like me!"

"If you do well, the Holy Emperor will be generous with his rewards. He can even make you as powerful as me, or even become true gods!"

After saying these words, Dong Qianqiu extended her bone claws, tore open space, and followed Ye Qing into the spatial rift, leaving the Holy Spirit Cult members, whose minds were still reeling, lost in their own thoughts in the dark underground.

They... were tempted.

Because what Ye Qing said was so true, he directly laid out a broad road leading straight to the sky in front of them. This road was predictable, and as long as they walked it, they would have a bright future!

Chapter 245 Poseidon, are you afraid of nuclear wastewater?

"Hmph... Tang San, I hope you like this gift I'm giving you." Recalling his impassioned words at the Holy Spirit Cult, Ye Qing couldn't help but laugh out loud.

You little brat, didn't you want your god-like name to be forever remembered in the Douluo Continent?

Dude, I've really done you a huge favor by spreading the name of the Asura God far and wide, making you the supreme Holy Emperor of the Holy Spirit Cult!

However, once the unofficial historical accounts are released, it's none of my business what kind of backlash you'll suffer for being found to have harbored bandits for personal gain and orchestrated your own scheme to treat the entire Douluo Continent as a ranch of faith.

Regardless of the circumstances, once the name of the Asura God spreads, the influence of the Sea God will undoubtedly plummet, and many of the blinded masses will even regain their wisdom.

Ye Qing even suspected that if this wave of unofficial history could be handled well, it could set off a cultural renaissance across the Douluo Continent.

What kind of cultural revival?

Of course it's the Spirit Hall!

Compared to Tang San, who raised bandits to enhance his own power and harvest faith, the Spirit Hall actually did real work!

When the world begins to yearn for the peaceful and prosperous era under the protection of the Spirit Hall, and trembles in fear under the shadow of the Holy Spirit Cult with its three extreme sects, that will be the time for our savior, Celestial Venerable Ye, to step in...

As for whether making a name for himself as the God of Asura will indirectly help Tang San.

Ye Qing didn't care about this problem at all. Only the Sea God could become a god through faith. The Asura God became a god through killing and was also a god of law enforcement. Faith was almost useless for the Asura God.

Otherwise, Tang San wouldn't have focused on improving his Sea God status while neglecting the more powerful Asura God status. Saying he was worried that the Asura God's killing intent would affect his personality was nonsense. The Human-Faced Demon Spider, whose clan was wiped out, had something to say.

You have a way to die!

The affinity with the Sea God's position is higher than that with the Asura God's position, which was forcibly inserted into the body and requires Mai Taijun as a scabbard to be used. This is one thing, but the more important reason is that the Asura God's position has almost no room for improvement.

The issue of affinity is easily resolved.

If the potential for improvement in the Asura God's position is truly greater than that of the Sea God's position, Tang San could completely pass on the Sea God's position. Without the constraints of having two god positions, he could focus entirely on enhancing the strength of the Asura God.

The requirements for dual godhood are similar to those for dual martial souls, but even more demanding.

Twin Martial Souls can be used simultaneously through extreme control, but dual Godhoods are limited to one at a time.

Only by removing the Sea God's position, which would affect his affinity with the Asura God's position, can he better control the Asura God's power.

But Old Shura had already reached the limit of advancement and was so bored that he wanted to throw away his godhood and go traveling to find new opportunities. You, Tang San, who just copied what others had said, could be even more awesome than Old Shura and make Shura's godhood comparable to the Dragon God?

impossible!

Ye Qing had calculated that Tang San was unwilling to give up the power of the Sea God's position, but also lacked the ability to enhance the power of the Asura God, which is why he came up with this operation.
