The battle between the Evil Emperor and the Black Empress brought all progress to a halt.
"Evil Emperor, you are indeed a notch above me, but that is all."
Judging from their current performance, their strength remained extremely close. Neither could do anything to the other.
The Black Empress steadied herself in midair. "The Abyssal Plane is far more powerful than your Douluo Plane. Our Sage King stands far above your plane consciousness as well."
The Evil Emperor was amused. "Since your plane has a god-level being, could it be that you do not know our plane also has a God Realm?" A being beyond plane consciousness could only be god-level, and a god-level being would surely sense the existence of the God Realm. Even the Demon Empress could do so; naturally, the Abyssal Plane could as well.
"Hahaha, the God Realm? You still do not understand why we dared to expand the entrance at this time. It is because your God Realm is in turmoil. Once we devour Douluo Continent, even after the God Realm regains its stability, it will be unable to do anything to us." The Black Empress had not sensed this herself; the Abyssal Sage King had told her. Since she had not become god-level, she lacked that ability.
"How is that possible?" The Evil Emperor was greatly surprised that something had gone wrong in the God Realm. After all, the God Realm was simply too powerful.
"Surrender. Perhaps you can still become Lord Sage King's pet."
There were no conditions at all—only the condescension of a superior toward an inferior.
This enraged the Evil Emperor even more and strengthened his resolve. He absolutely could not allow these Abyssal creatures to do as they pleased.
More and more human legions gathered, beginning to establish Soul Guidance
