The dissipating black energy wandered towards the Abyss, and in the next moment it was drawn by the devouring power of the Silver Dragon Spear, surging into the spear and subsequently being devoured by Gu Yuena.
...
Ellex did not fall behind.
With a gesture of his right hand, three massive gates appeared on the battlefield's edge.
A large number of undead emerged from the other side of the gates.
These undead were modified by Ellex in recent years; his previous undead creatures were nearly extinct. The current undead creatures are a product of his progress while resonating with rules invoked by Su Yu.
Of course, it was not just summoning the undead army. The Undead Half-Plane opened, and the surrounding Abyssal Energy was swept by a tremendous devouring power.
Despite belonging to the Abyss Plane and bearing its mark, the Abyssal Energy could not escape the devouring force in the region closer to the three gates of the Undead Half-Plane and was absorbed into it.
And once Abyssal Energy entered Ellex's Undead Half-Plane, could it still return to the Abyss?
Impossible.
"Roar!"
Among the Four Great Emperors, the Demon Emperor—ranking foremost among those entering the Douluo Continent this time—was furious.
Douluo Continent actually possessed the ability to devour Abyssal Energy.
The Silver Dragon Spear.
And the Undead Half-Plane.
In the past, during the Abyss's consumption of other planes, they encountered cases of energy loss, but none as exaggerated as what Gu Yuena and Ellex demonstrated.
The conversion of Abyssal Energy and the intensity of the devouring and seizing power were too overwhelming.
Any Abyssal creature dying nearby had its energy swallowed, then devoured and converted, thoroughly lost.
The Four Great Emperors were utterly terrified.
The originally confident mindset changed at this point.
Initially, even if they died, they could return to the Abyss for revival.
With their importance, their revival after death would be the most potent, allowing them to be resurrected by the Saint Monarch at the fastest speed.
However, now that the Douluo Continent showed the ability to devour Abyssal Energy, their energy upon death might not necessarily return to the Abyss.
That also meant they would completely perish.
From having unlimited life initially, they now faced possible demise.
The change in circumstances also effected a change in their mentality, and they began to become cautious amid the fighting.
...
High altitude in the Land of the Far North.
Su Yu alone intercepted the Abyssal Passage, with the Blue Silver Thunder Domain and Blue Silver Sword Domain completely covering the vortex exit; any emerging Abyssal creatures were slain.
The energy from the slain Abyssal creatures initially returned to the Abyss along the passage, but as time passed, a "swallow" rune formed in Su Yu's Sea of Spirit, gradually allowing him to devour and absorb this energy.
However, compared to the Silver Dragon Spear and the Undead Half-Plane, the quantity and speed of energy he devoured were far inferior.
Yet, this was merely the power of a rune.
As he unleashed the Blue Silver Emperor's Sixth Soul Skill, Sea of All Rivers, the speed of devouring Abyssal Energy considerably increased.
The perfection rate of the "swallow" rune was extremely rapid.
Su Yu already had similar abilities; he simply hadn't previously delineated these abilities into a rune.
He had complete control over his domain, with the Soul Skill Sea of All Rivers also integrated into the domain, demonstrating his mastery level over this ability, making the delineation of the "swallow" rune never a difficult task for him.
Quickly, the speed at which Su Yu devoured Abyssal Energy accelerated.
But it was still not comparable to the Silver Dragon Spear and Undead Half-Plane.
Boom!
Inside the space passage, a formidable power surged forth.
Furious, the Abyss Saint Monarch directly punched from its native plane, the force transmitting through the space passage.
Su Yu's figure instantly disappeared, evading the punch's impact.
A colossal fist shadow burst out from the vortex at the top of the Land of the Far North, emitting considerable might.
The terrifying aura spread, causing everyone engaged in battle to involuntarily feel frightened.
"What dreadful power!"
After missing its mark, the powerful energy of the fist shadow seemed still under the Abyss Saint Monarch's control, descending from above towards the peripheral Soul Guide Team of the Land of the Far North.
"Hmm?"
Gu Yuena drew the Silver Dragon Spear, instantly vanishing, traversing through space to intercept the enormous fist shadow.
Her gaze was bright as she thrust the spear forward.
Boom!
The Silver Dragon Spear erupted with full force of its devouring power, consuming and absorbing the energy within the fist shadow.
Simultaneously, Gu Yuena grunted softly, injured by the punch's force.
However, with the Silver Dragon Spear absorbing the energy, her injury rapidly healed.
"Hateful!"
The Abyss Saint Monarch was furious in the Abyss Plane.
He sensed it.
"It's a Divine Artifact with devouring capability!"
The Douluo Continent actually possesses such a Divine Artifact.
