Chapter 292 The Abyss Saint King's Self-Destruction
Not far from the Starry Sky Forest, in the far west.
Black mist churned and a cold wind howled.
The Abyss Saint King's avatar was suspended in mid-air, its scarlet eyes constantly scanning the surroundings.
While frantically absorbing soul power to repair his body, he cursed wildly in his heart.
"Damn Beidou Academy! Damn Lu Xiao! Damn Golden Divine Sword!"
He glanced down at the Heavenly Saint Rift Abyss Halberd in his hand, which was covered in cracks and had lost its power, and felt both heartache and fear.
"We must leave Douluo Continent as soon as possible and return to the Abyss Plane to recuperate!"
"This place is too strange. How could so many god-level experts appear in a lower realm continent, and there is also a dean whose strength is extremely bizarre? If we don't leave now, this clone will be destroyed here sooner or later!"
The Abyss Saint King had made up his mind and was preparing to tear through the void and escape completely.
Right now!
"boom!"
An indescribable, irresistible, and imperceptible strange power descended upon him without warning!
"Um?"
The Abyss Saint King froze, his expression changing drastically.
He immediately activated his divine power to prepare for battle.
Within a radius of a hundred miles, there was not a trace of any enemy, nor any offensive abilities.
But the next second, an unexpected event occurred!
"Boom!"
Without warning, the ground beneath his feet collapsed, dark cracks spread wildly, and rubble and soil poured down.
Caught off guard, the Abyss Saint King suddenly sank, almost falling directly into the abyss below.
"What happened?"
He was shocked and furious, and just as he regained his footing.
Suddenly, one after another, ferocious ten-thousand-year-old soul beasts charged out from all around!
These soul beasts, their eyes bloodshot and utterly disregarding life and death, charged at him with their fangs and claws.
"A bunch of ants, how dare they stop me?"
The Abyss Saint Lord snorted coldly, and with a swirling black mist, he instantly annihilated all the soul beasts.
But the unease in his heart grew stronger and stronger.
This is very abnormal!
According to his investigation, there were very few spirit beasts in this area, and they were usually nowhere to be seen. So why would they suddenly attack him in groups?
Even more bizarrely...
He clearly felt that the surrounding spatial forces were suddenly repelling him several times over!
The void travel that was barely sustainable before!
At this moment, everything became extremely sluggish, and even the circulation of divine power experienced a slight pause.
"Is someone plotting against me?"
The Abyss Saint King's face was ashen, and his scarlet eyes frantically scanned his surroundings.
"Who is it? Show yourself!"
But there was no one there.
There were no enemies, no attacks, and no murderous intent.
There is only one inexplicable kind of "bad luck" that follows you like a shadow.
Suddenly, a thought that terrified him shot into his mind!
Number one on the luck ranking!
Beidou Academy – Lu Xiao!
The prize—a pen for all living beings!
Ability – to deprive, bestow, or alter the destiny of all beings!
"It's...it's that pen!!"
The Abyss Saint King trembled, his face instantly turning ashen, and extreme fear erupted in his eyes!
"It's Lu Xiao! He's thousands of miles away, using the Pen of All Beings... to strip me of my luck!"
He finally understood!
Ground collapses, soul beasts attack, space repulsion...
All of this is a sign of plummeting luck and impending misfortune!
What terrified him even more was...
This strange power of depriving one of luck is not only affecting this clone!
Across countless planes, he could clearly sense that his own body in the Abyss Plane was also subtly affected!
A faint wisp of deprivation power, following the connection between the clone and the main body, spread towards the main body!
"No!!"
The Abyss Saint was so frightened that his soul almost left his body, and his whole body trembled.
He knew all too well the consequences of declining fortune!
Once one's original destiny is stripped away, let alone devouring the Douluo Continent or breaking through to a higher realm.
He might not even be able to hold onto his position as the Lord of the Abyss Plane, and might even face a backlash from the plane, causing him to perish on the spot!
This is to cut off his roots!
"How ruthless Lu Xiao is! How ruthless the Pen of All Beings is!!"
The Abyss Saint King was shocked, furious, fearful, and resentful.
His eyes flashed wildly as he made a decision in an instant.
You can't catch a wolf without risking your cub!
To save the main body, you must... sacrifice the pawn to save the king!
"Beidou Academy! Lu Xiao!!"
The Abyss Saint King roared to the heavens, his voice filled with resentment and unwillingness, uttering the most ruthless words:
"I will remember this humiliation!"
"You stole my luck and destroyed my clone; this is an irreconcilable enmity!"
"When my true form descends one day, I will uproot the Beidou Academy and tear you to pieces!!"
After making those harsh remarks, he didn't hesitate for a moment.
Choose to self-destruct!
"Boom!"
An avatar of a god-level powerhouse self-destructed without any reservation!
The terrifying, boundless power of the abyss swept across the land in an instant, causing the earth to collapse completely and space to shatter layer by layer.
A pitch-black energy storm swept across thousands of miles, causing even the laws of heaven and earth to tremble violently.
This power is enough to easily destroy a kingdom; it is truly earth-shattering!
In the instant of self-destruction, the Abyss Saint King mustered his last strength and threw out the already damaged super artifact in his hand: the Heavenly Saint Abyss Splitting Halberd!
"Whoosh!"
The black halberd shadow ripped through the sky, forcibly tearing apart the spatial barrier of the Douluo Continent.
Carrying the remaining power from the self-destruction of his clone, he fled towards the abyss without looking back!
At the same time, the chain of energy connecting the main body...
It was completely severed as the clone self-destructed!
...
Beidou Academy.
Lu Xiao held the Pen of All Beings, raised his eyebrows slightly, and revealed a hint of surprise in his eyes.
"Oh? You were so decisive."
He could clearly sense the aura of the Abyss Saint King in the distance.
After surging to its maximum in an instant, it suddenly broke off and disappeared.
The connection between the writings of all beings and their target was also forcibly severed.
"What a pity."
Lu Xiao shook his head slightly, his tone tinged with disappointment.
"I originally planned to follow this clone and directly strip the main body of most of its fortune, so as to solve the problem once and for all and eliminate any future troubles."
Those around were deeply shocked.
Following the clone, stripping the original body of its fortune?
That's way too domineering!
Lu Bu couldn't help but ask, "Dean, that Abyss Saint Lord... just died like that?"
"It doesn't count as death."
Lu Xiao said calmly.
"He was very clever. He realized that I was going to involve his main body, so he immediately self-destructed his clone to sever the connection and preserve his true body in the Abyss Plane."
"However, this clone is destroyed, the super artifact is damaged, and his essence is severely injured. He will not be able to recover his strength in a short time."
Li Bai stroked his sword and chuckled: "Self-destructing his clone and fleeing in a sorry state, this Abyss Saint Lord has truly taken the word 'cowardly' to the extreme."
Lu Xiao nodded slightly: "Moreover, the range of the Brush of All Beings is only within the Douluo Continent."
"Once he retreats to the Abyss Plane, beyond this world, it will be difficult for me to directly attack him again."
"This time, he narrowly escaped with his life."
Despite this, Lu Xiao showed no sign of annoyance.
To strike the mountain to scare the tiger, to kill the chicken to warn the monkey.
The objective has been achieved.
From this day forward, even if he had a hundred times the courage, the Abyss Saint King would never dare to easily step into the Douluo Continent again.
