Chapter 168: The Abyss Plane, Invasion Plan
Diaochan gave a graceful bow and smiled softly, "The Academy Master wields the power of the Creation Return to Ruins; it is our honor to follow by your side."
Facing the reverence and praise of the crowd,
Lu Xiao remained calm, as if that earth-shattering Martial Soul Fusion Skill was merely something he had done casually.
He looked up at the golden writing on the heavenly curtain that was beginning to slowly fade, his gaze deep.
"The Martial Soul Fusion Skill Ranking has finally ended."
"I wonder what the next ranking will be?"
Just then, atop the heavenly curtain,
the golden light that was about to dissipate actually flickered once more.
A new line of text slowly emerged:
[In three days, a mysterious ranking will be shockingly revealed!]
A mysterious ranking?
What does that mean?
As soon as these words appeared, the Douluo Continent, which had just calmed down, was once again thrown into an uproar!
The residual influence of the Martial Soul Fusion Skill Ranking had not yet faded, and another ranking was already about to be revealed!
And it was so mysterious!
Lu Xiao looked at the writing on the heavenly curtain, the corners of his mouth curling up slightly in a meaningful smile.
Luck is ethereal, and destiny is hard to predict.
What kind of storm would this upcoming mysterious ranking stir up?
"Interesting!"
Lu Xiao felt endless anticipation in his heart... The golden writing on the heavenly curtain of Douluo Continent had not yet completely faded, and the plane was still immersed in the shocking aftershocks of the ranking's reveal.
But outside this vibrant continent!
Deep in the deathly silent Void Realm, another undercurrent was surging.
The Abyss Plane.
One hundred and eight levels of the abyss, like a black tower of overlapping peaks, were nested layer by layer within the realm of darkness.
There was no light here, no life!
Only greed and coldness that devoured everything.
Countless abyssal creatures roared and crawled in the darkness, feeding on each other's Origin to nourish the dark core of the entire plane.
In the lowest level of the abyss, within the Palace of Ten Thousand Demons.
The palace was forged from Abyssal Cold Crystals condensed over hundreds of millions of years, its walls embedded with emerald gems formed from the resentment of countless living beings.
A suffocating scent of blood and decay floated in the air.
A figure completely shrouded in pitch-black mist sat upon the supreme throne.
As the mist churned!
A wisp of aura occasionally leaked out, which was enough to cause the surrounding space to slightly distort and collapse.
He was precisely the Abyssal Saint Lord!
The absolute Dominator of this dark plane.
"Reporting to the Saint Lord!"
A hunched figure stumbled into the hall, his body covered in a shell-like exoskeleton.
It was Emperor Zhi, who was responsible for scouting extra-dimensional planes.
His Spiritual fluctuations carried an uncontrollable shock, even mixed with a hint of excitement originating from the depths of his Soul.
"I have found it! Your subordinate has detected a plane with an abundant Origin. On its spatial barrier, a breakable spatial rift has appeared!"
Before Emperor Zhi's voice could fade!
The pitch-black mist on the throne surged violently.
An ice-cold voice echoed through the hall, devoid of any emotion: "Speak in detail."
"Yes!"
Emperor Zhi did not dare to delay and hurriedly reported.
"This plane is called the Douluo Continent. It contains a majestic life Origin and Soul Power energy, enough to support our Abyss Plane in completing its ultimate evolution!"
"During my Spiritual Power investigation, I discovered that there are multiple cracks in its plane barrier. More importantly—there are many lingering auras around the rifts that appear to be the power of the God Realm's God Kings!"
"God King power?"
The Abyssal Saint Lord's voice took on a hint of subtle gravity!
This immediately transformed into deeper greed.
"It seems this plane has very deep Origins with the God Realm. Its Origin must be far thicker and heavier than ordinary planes."
The Palace of Ten Thousand Demons fell into a brief, deathly silence!
Only the sound of the mist churning around the Abyssal Saint Lord grew increasingly intense.
He knew well the terror of God King power; it was a power of laws that reigned supreme over the mortal world.
However, this residual power did not make him retreat; instead, it further stimulated his desire to plunder.
A plane that could be protected by the God Realm!
The value of its Origin must be beyond estimation.
The Abyss Plane originally survived by devouring other planes. Only by seizing such top-tier Origins could it escape its fate of drifting in the void and truly evolve into an immortal holy land.
"I shall confirm it personally."
The Abyssal Saint Lord slowly raised his hand!
From the pitch-black mist, a halberd suddenly emerged, entirely black and covered in eerie patterns.
As soon as the halberd appeared, the dark energy of the entire abyss converged frantically. The tip of the halberd flickered with a cold light that could tear through space,
It was precisely the super divine artifact birthed by the Abyss Plane.
The heavenly saint abyss-splitting halberd.
"Boom, boom, boom!"
He gripped the heavenly saint abyss-splitting halberd, and the power of the super divine artifact expanded to form a dark Divine Sense that pierced through the void, directly locking onto Douluo Continent.
Penetrating through layers of void, the outline of that plane became increasingly clear. Its abundant life Origin was like a blazing sun in the darkness.
The spatial cracks on the barrier of Douluo Continent had nowhere to hide under the investigation of his Divine Sense.
The God King power lingering around the cracks was very rich, but under the investigation of the super divine artifact, it still had nowhere to hide!
"It truly is a plane guarded by God Kings. Unfortunately... the surrounding God King power is merely a deceptive front."
A cold arc curled at the corner of the Abyssal Saint Lord's mouth.
"With the erosion of the Spacetime Turbulence and the uniqueness of the heavenly saint abyss-splitting halberd, this spatial rift is already a heaven-sent opportunity!"
To avoid alerting the enemy!
The Abyssal Saint Lord immediately returned to the Abyss Plane, a flash of ruthlessness in his eyes. "Emperor Zhi, pass down my orders!"
"Your subordinate is here!"
"Notify the Emperors of the one hundred and eight levels to prepare to activate the Abyssal Tide and gather the strength of the entire plane to prepare for invasion!"
Within the dark mist, the command carried an unquestionable authority.
"As you command!"
Emperor Zhi's spirits were lifted, and he hurriedly took the order and withdrew.
His whole body trembled slightly with excitement.
Within the Palace of Ten Thousand Demons.
The Abyssal Saint Lord gripped the heavenly saint abyss-splitting halberd, its tip pointing directly toward Douluo Continent.
A greedy light flickered within the pitch-black mist.
He could clearly feel the majestic Origin of that continent. If he could devour it, not only would he have the chance to strike for the true position of a God King,
but the Abyss Plane could also transform into a dark core that reigned supreme over many other planes.
"Douluo Continent..."
He murmured in a low voice, his tone cold and filled with the intent to plunder,
"Regardless of whether you have the protection of the God Realm, your Origin shall ultimately become the nourishment for my Abyss Plane's evolution!"
He slowly stood up, dark energy surging frantically around him, and the entire Abyssal Saint Plane trembled along with him.
The one hundred and eight levels of the abyss simultaneously erupted with earth-shattering roars!
Countless abyssal creatures were rubbing their palms, blood-red light flickering in their eyes.
They looked toward Douluo Continent greedily.
Ready at any moment to invade Douluo Continent.
"Get ready. Wait for my command to march upon Douluo Continent!"
The Abyssal Saint Lord's voice spread throughout the entire Abyss Plane, carrying a domineering air as if ruling the world... And at this moment on Douluo Continent,
the residual heat of the heavenly curtain ranking had not yet dissipated, and the preview of the mysterious ranking invited much speculation.
Countless living beings were either immersed in shock or looking forward to the reveal of the new ranking.
Yet no one knew that an invasion plan from the Abyss Plane had already quietly approached, following the aura of the plane's rifts.
