—------------------—
The army from the Abyss Plane broke through the boundary and the first one to sense it was Di Tian who was guarding Lingdou City.
Without any nonsense, he cut through the space and swung the Black Dragon Sword. The sword light shook the sky and exploded in Lingdou City. In an instant, countless abyss creatures were reduced to ashes.
In an instant, a kilometer-long black dragon shadow rose into the sky, and the earth sank into a dark quagmire.
"I've long noticed that there's something wrong with the space here, but I didn't expect to find something. Where did you come from?"
Di Tian stared at the blood-red formation in front of the abyss and spoke so deliberately, pretending not to know the other party's origins.
"A dead man has no need to know!"
A powerful and overwhelming thought came from the depths of the abyss, and then a large number of strange creatures flew out. A group of terrible bee-like creatures buzzed and flew out in groups. Their tail hooks were so sharp that they cut out visible ripples in the air.
"What the hell are these abyssal creatures? They're much uglier than the soul beasts of the Star Dou Great Forest. Just as the Mountain Dragon King said, they have a devouring instinct similar to that of the Human-Faced Demon Spider and the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger."
Di Tian frowned and shook his wrist. The Black Dragon Sword stood in front of him, and instantly a huge sword light surged out. The sword light was like a galaxy, rushing down and strangling the group of murderous bees.
Then, Di Tian showed his might, displaying the supreme strength of the strongest man in the continent. The Black Dragon Sword swept through the air to kill the enemies. The speed of his body changes was beyond imagination. In just a few moves, he wiped out all the abyss creatures that invaded Lingdou City.
The ten-mile area around Lingdou City turned into a death zone. Large numbers of low-intelligence abyss creatures turned into ashes, and the momentum of the endless abyss creatures in the rear was also curbed a little.
However, Di Tian, who had killed many enemies, was not happy. Instead, his brows showed deep solemnity, and his eyes were filled with strong fear.
He clearly sensed that after these abyssal creatures fell, they seemed to have transformed into a special energy body and flew back to the abyssal space, instead of dissipating in the Douluo plane.
This means that the opponent's energy is conserved. As long as he is given enough time, he can create such a large army at any time. His work is almost in vain.
"As the Mountain Dragon King said, no matter how many of these soldiers we kill, we can only contain their attack for a while. To achieve victory, we must kill several lord-level beings. Only in this way can we influence the situation..."
Thinking of this, Di Tian's gaze shifted, locking onto several beings whose auras rivaled those of Titled Douluo and Super Douluo. The Black Dragon Sword suddenly emitted several unprecedented rays of light, and he shouted angrily:
"Since you want to die, I will grant your wish! My dragon clan has its own supreme artifact. If you take it, I will kill you like slaughtering dogs!"
A cold will echoed from the Abyssal Plane. It was unknown which Lord's thoughts it was: "So what if it's a divine artifact? Unless it's a top-tier existence, it's just scratching the surface and won't be of any use at all!"
"You'll see!"
Di Tian shouted and charged into the formation, killing several powerful abyss warriors who were locked by his breath like a revolving lantern. Sure enough, after these warriors were killed by him, a loud bang erupted from the depths of the abyss.
Several lower-ranked Abyss Lords were killed, and the level they were on temporarily collapsed.
Seeing Di Tian blocking the way, an angry roar came from the blood-red formation, and the dazzling purple-gold light gathered together, turning into a vortex that swallowed everything and showed its power to Di Tian.
Di Tian engaged the beast in a mid-air battle, breaking through the vortex. His expression quickly changed. "Are you a sea soul beast? The king of the deep-sea demon whale clan?"
"That's right!" The Demon Queen's voice was cold and her face was as frosty as ice. She agreed to cooperate with A Yin in order to become a god by killing, but she didn't expect that she would fail and didn't find a single living creature.
Lingdou City retreated quickly because the secret was discovered in advance. It was obviously done by Di Tian, who was worthy of being the most ferocious beast on the continent!
"I didn't expect that there would be such a useless creature among the soul beasts. If you have the guts, come out and fight with me. I will clean up the mess for the ocean soul beasts!" Di Tian shouted. He was quite afraid of the Blood River God-killing Formation where the Demon Emperor resided. The aura emitted by this formation was too creepy.
"Come out if you want! What can you do to me? Army of the Abyss, attack!"
The Demon Emperor walked out of the Blood River God-killing Formation, and the aura of a ferocious beast he exuded was so astonishing that even Di Tian frowned. This was a strong man whose cultivation was close to his, and was almost not inferior to the Evil Emperor.
He had heard before that there was a nearly million-year-old deep-sea demon whale king in the ocean, which was killed by the Sea God Tang San. How come there was another one?
"Forget it. I am the Beast God. Today I will test your abilities and clear the ocean!"
Di Tian made up his mind, and rushed out with the sword as one, fighting with the Demon Emperor and more and more abyss creatures. Soon they fought for dozens or even hundreds of moves.
In Lingdou City, Gu Yuena woke up. She raised her purple eyes and observed the situation from afar. Knowing that the opponent was still in the trial period, she did not go on the field with the silver dragon spear, but took out the silver dragon scale and quickly called for help.
"Mountain Dragon King, Mountain Dragon King, the abyss creatures that are about to invade us are here. Hurry up and prepare to deal with them..."
Xu Tianxi answered quickly:
"I'm in a critical period of retreat and can't come. The expeditionary army and the local masters of Sun and Moon will quickly reinforce me. The undead army will also be on the way. Don't worry and don't scare them away."
"A critical time for seclusion? How far have you come in your cultivation that you're still in seclusion? And what is the Undead Army?"
Gu Yuena was a little anxious. She stretched out her slender jade fingers to create ripples in the void, quickly crossing the space to rush to Xu Tianxi's side.
"Huh? This guy isn't in the Douluo plane anymore, but has gone to the demiplane?"
…
In the Undead Demiplane, Xu Tianxi put down the sound-transmitting dragon scales and smiled at Alex who was not far away:
"Teacher, those guys are here. Once I start that step, you will send me to the other demiplanes and then bring the undead demiplane for reinforcements."
Glancing across the distance, Xu Tianxi saw countless undead creatures that were considered top-tier evil spirits gradually awakening. He was quite satisfied and said,
"The creatures of the abyss cannot die, but our army of the undead is almost endless. A fight between the two is a perfect opportunity to see who is stronger. With these guys here, we don't have to worry about casualties."
Electrolux's gaze shifted, he stroked his beard, nodded, and sighed:
"I originally thought these guys would never reappear in this world, but I never expected to meet a suitable opponent at this time. I used to worry that these guys would get out of control and become a nightmare for the entire continent."
The Undead Demiplane has existed for quite some time, and even Alex himself didn't realize how huge the number of these undead creatures had grown to. From the lowest-level skeleton soldiers to the higher-level creatures like abominations and bone dragons, to some powerful knights in their lifetime, once they were released, it would be an endless torrent.
At this moment, Electrolux raised his eyes, a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he said, "Xiao Tianxi, your friend came to see you. It seems that he is very worried about your situation."
"Looking for me?" Xu Tianxi lowered his eyes to look at the place where the space ripples were rippling, and saw a space gate opening up, and Gu Yuena's beautiful figure walked out with anxiety on her face.
"You don't need to worry about me. Since you're here, let's be witnesses together. After you're done, take these undead armies to support Di Tian."
Xu Tianxi smiled at Gu Yuena, then sat cross-legged. He used his soul power to condense countless forces in the void, and used special techniques to activate the acupoints all over his body.
Suddenly, his surging and powerful energy and blood gathered inward, converging towards his chest, and began to form a special vortex, nine parts energy and blood and one part soul power.
At the same time, a spiritual consciousness as rich as the abyss burst out, temporarily suppressing the yin and yang complementary dual soul cores that were about to go berserk.
For a moment, the scenes in Xu Tianxi's three dantians were clearly visible.
The spiritual soul core in the upper dantian has become a black hole, swallowing and spitting out golden consciousness; the soul power core in the lower dantian is like a newborn star, containing the four basic elements of earth, fire, water and wind, and the three upper elements of space, light and darkness. Thunder is raging, and the breath of life and destruction coexists.
At this moment, a continuous stream of rich energy and blood rushed out of his chest, gathering into a vortex, taking shape almost instantly; the spiritual consciousness in the black hole vortex burst out, suppressing the restless second soul core.
This is a very dangerous thing, because the yin and yang complementary soul cores in Xu Tianxi's upper and lower dantians have long reached a strange balance. At this time, the formation of a new vortex will break this balance no matter which direction it rotates.
Gu Yuena had learned some basic cultivation knowledge from Di Tian, and was extremely puzzled by this. She asked Alex:
"What exactly is he planning? If he wants to cultivate the third soul core, he should move the second soul core to the chest area first."
Ilex smiled mysteriously and asked, "Is this the only way to cultivate soul cores? Theoretically, there are other possibilities."
"What do you mean?" Gu Yuena frowned, not understanding.
"Isn't it also a form of balance if we reverse the direction of one of the soul cores and condense a third soul core in the chest?" said Alex.
"Forcefully reversing the direction of the soul core? Isn't that courting death?!"
Gu Yuena was horrified. Di Tian claimed that he had done this kind of thing in his spare time during his long life, and he had a narrow escape from death. He was only able to survive thanks to Biji's healing ability and the breath of life from the Lake of Life.
At that time, Di Tian had only roughly disrupted the balance and was seriously injured by the recoil of his own soul core energy. It was not surprising that he forced the backlash and exploded on the spot.
Electrolux nodded in agreement and pointed at Xu Tianxi, saying, "He just wants to die. He wants to live in death."
Gu Yuena's brows furrowed more and more, unable to understand Xu Tianxi and Electrolux's plan: "Why?"
"He believes that only when one is on the verge of death can one unleash the instinct for survival and unleash one's greatest potential, thereby condensing the most powerful soul core and forging an unprecedented foundation."
Electrolux said in a solemn voice, staring at Xu Tianxi, and sighed slightly:
"It's been too long since he's felt the threat of death. No one in this world can kill him except you. Therefore, he's seeking his own death, achieving ultimate sublimation on the line between life and death, living towards death."
"Is it so dangerous? Why bother?" Gu Yuena couldn't understand.
"He said that this is the only way to become the strongest in ancient and modern times. I have calculated that it is indeed true. You should know his character, and it has already begun." said Alex.
"The move he made at the beginning was a method he used to seal the blood, energy, and soul power of others. Now he is using it on himself in order to force himself to death."
Gu Yuena looked worried. "If he fails, won't he be completely destroyed? Has he considered this consequence?"
"I've thought about it, that's why I'm here." Alex smiled and said calmly:
"I am the God of Death. If he truly dies, I can transform him into an undead creature, and he will immediately inherit the legacy of the Water God of the Divine Realm. At the very least, he can become a first-level True God. It's just that it will take him longer to make further progress in the future."
Gu Yuena: "…"
Why do I feel that you, old man, are more powerful than me?
"boom!"
The space of the undead demiplane trembled, and a vortex of blood and energy condensed by Xu Tianxi's blood and energy took shape in his chest, which was opposite to the direction of the spiritual soul core in the upper dantian, and completely opposite to the direction of the soul power core in the lower dantian that seemed to reflect the changes of the stars and condensed many elements.
Suddenly, even a powerful consciousness like Xu Tianxi could not suppress the restless soul power and soul core. The complementary state of yin and yang was destroyed, and it was counterattacking madly!
"Reverse it for me!"
Xu Tianxi's eyes hardened and he made up his mind. Not only did he not relax the suppression, but he mobilized a large amount of spiritual consciousness in the spiritual soul core, and combined his energy to reverse the soul power soul core!
In the sea of spirit, the gold of living things sparkled brightly, and the soul bones in the six major soul bone parts burst into light. Among them, the energy of the Mountain Dragon King's torso bone was the most vigorous, and the sixth sealing halo was shaky, as if it was about to collapse.
Soon, a scene that broke the common sense of the soul master world occurred. Xu Tianxi's second soul core was forcibly reversed in direction. The huge impact force caused Xu Tianxi to spit out several mouthfuls of blood in an instant.
However, he was still suppressing this power. He was intentionally destroying his own vitality, sealing his soul power, weakening his mental strength, and allowing his blood and qi to continuously concentrate and surge towards his chest...
Time passed quickly, and large parts of his body cracked, and blood containing rich essence flowed out. A huge amount of energy burst out and compressed, almost turning into a blood cocoon.
Ilex took action and sent the blood cocoon to another half plane, and then urged Gu Yuena to set off and lead the undead army to reinforce the battlefield.
"Leave the rest to me. You can't help here, so go where you can." Electrolux urged.
"Oh." Gu Yuena agreed reluctantly, thought for a moment, placed her silver dragon spear here, said "be careful", and flew away from the undead demiplane.
Soon, on the battlefield outside Lingdou City, Di Tian's reinforcements appeared. A large number of undead creatures rushed out of the Undead Gate and headed straight for the abyss creatures. The grand scene surprised some lords behind the abyss.
"Aren't they saying that there are living people here? Could it be that this place has been occupied by some undead king?" Deep in the abyss, the Saint Lord of the Abyss blinked his eyes, he suspected that he had seen it wrong.
What's the point of abyssal creatures devouring lifeless undead creatures?
The Golden Dragon King was also a little confused. What was going on? Was this still the Douluo plane?
Could it be that his sister was cultivating undead skills here? Otherwise, where did all these undead creatures come from? Only a god-level expert could cultivate them.
