Invading the Abyss
Brother Li Bai...
Perhaps he already knew, but... he never said anything, and continued to protect her as always?
Thinking of this, Ning Rongrong felt a complex warmth and a touch of shyness welling up in her heart. Subconsciously, she leaned even closer to the figure that could shield her from everything.
The light from the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda unconsciously enveloped Li Bai with a softer yet more resolute glow.
At that moment, another unexpected event occurred!
Chapter 311 Invading the Abyss
Just as Qian Renxue's Angel Holy Sword was about to pierce Tang San's throat, at the critical moment—
The mysterious man pinned to the ground by Li Bai's sword intent seemed to have made a decision.
Its body suddenly expanded and then instantly contracted to its limit, unleashing a violent, chaotic energy filled with an ominous and destructive aura!
This energy wasn't used to attack anyone; instead, it was entirely channeled into the space that bound Tang San!
"Using myself as a guide, to connect... and replace!"
The next second, the mysterious figure vanished completely as if burned out, leaving only a wisp of rapidly extinguishing dark embers in its place.
Tang San, enveloped by its energy, along with the spider web binding him and a small area of space around him, vanished without a trace, as if erased by an invisible eraser!
Qian Renxue's deadly sword strike missed its mark!
A lingering, extremely unsettling aura remained in the air, as if connected to some chaotic and greedy God of Evil.
This mysterious person actually sacrificed the entire existence of this clone, forcibly sending Tang San into... the abyss at the cost of self-destruction!
···························
The valley was completely silent.
Bibi Dong stared blankly at the spot where Tang San had disappeared. Qian Renxue also frowned, sheathed her sword, and slowly withdrew her Angel Domain, her gaze fixed solemnly on the direction of the lingering abyssal aura.
Ning Rongrong instinctively gripped Li Bai's sleeve, her heart filled with mixed emotions. Tang San hadn't died, but he had fallen into an abyss—something she hadn't anticipated.
Li Bai remained calm, withdrawing his gaze from the lingering aura of the abyss.
Qian Renxue grew up alongside Dongfang Jing, the most skilled in spatial manipulation among the younger generation of the Spirit Hall. Through this exposure, while she may not be as proficient as Dongfang Jing in spatial fluctuations and dimensional travel, she is by no means a novice.
At this moment, she clearly sensed that the mysterious clone had ultimately opened a temporary passage to an unknown, malevolent dimension and "throw" Tang San into it!
This is no small matter! Tang San's life or death is no longer important.
My father once said that any unknown dimension is unfamiliar and requires caution.
Besides, they came uninvited and weren't even guests.
The fact that this mysterious person from another dimension secretly infiltrated Douluo Star was already highly suspicious.
Qian Renxue no longer hesitated. She had neither the mood nor the time to get entangled with Bibi Dong, who was in a frenzy and roaring, still trying to rush towards the remnants of the abyss.
"Enough of this nonsense!" Qian Renxue shouted, and her Angel Domain erupted at full power once again! This time, the power of the domain was no longer just used for defense and suppression.
Bibi Dong was consumed by rage because Tang San had been taken away from her, causing her Rakshasa Divine Power to go berserk, and her senses and reactions to deteriorate due to the madness.
Faced with Qian Renxue's unreserved and highly targeted attack, the Rakshasa Divine Power shield on her body was rapidly dissolving, and she swung her eight Spider Spear with all her might!
"Qian Renxue! How dare you—!" Bibi Dong roared in defiance, spewing venom from her spider abdomen as she tried to escape.
But Qian Renxue's mind was made up, and she showed no mercy whatsoever.
"Ugh!" Bibi Dong trembled violently. The flow of Rakshasa Divine Power was forcibly interrupted, the light around her quickly dimmed, and her body began to shrink and revert uncontrollably.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, more sacred chains rushed forward, binding her tightly from head to toe, along with the eight dangerous Spider Spear.
In a short while, the Spider Queen, who had been so ferocious just moments before, was completely subdued.
Qian Renxue waved her hand expressionlessly, signaling the elite trusted men of the Spirit Hall Empire who had rushed over to step forward and take over the imprisoned Bibi Dong.
Finally, she glanced at Li Bai, Ning Rongrong, and everything around her.
This matter must be reported to Father immediately and in detail.
"Take him away." She gave the order succinctly, her voice leaving no room for argument. "Return to Spirit City and meet the Pope immediately."
She wanted to personally tell her father Qian Xunji, every detail of the operation, every doubt, and especially Tang San's possible whereabouts.
This is no longer a simple matter of apprehending fugitives or resolving internal conflicts; it involves a higher level of issues concerning dimensional security and unknown threats, requiring the father to personally decide on the next course of action.
With her golden six wings spread, Qian Renxue, carrying the imprisoned Bibi Dong and her elite troops, transformed into a streak of light and swiftly left the still chaotic valley, heading towards Spirit City.
············································
The Abyssal Plane, the Sage King's Throne.
Thick, tangible darkness churned around the throne, and countless twisted souls wailed silently within it, forming the eternal backdrop of this Plane Core.
Seated on his throne, the Abyssal Sage King, whose form was composed of pure energy of destruction and devouring, was digesting the last fragments of memory transmitted back by the self-destructed clone.
After receiving the memories of his clone, the Abyssal Sage King was held captive for half a day.
"..." The Abyssal Sage King's will fell into a near-frozen silence.
Its massive form unconsciously adjusted its "sitting posture" on the throne, if that churning mass of dark energy could be called a sitting posture.
After reading all the memories transmitted by its clone, it even began to wonder if its clone's brain had been damaged by spacetime turbulence while traversing dimensions, resulting in completely distorted and exaggerated memory information being transmitted back.
Douluo Plane?
In his previous life, he invaded a plane that had no gods, but now it has a group of gods.
Is this reasonable? Does this conform to common sense? In a normal material plane, the simultaneous appearance of one or two deities is already incredibly lucky!
So, after all that hard work traversing the endless void from the Abyssal Plane to extend its tentacles, is there any point in fighting it?
If we just crash into them, wouldn't that be handing these "chosen ones" and the gods who might be lurking in the Divine Realm watching over the mortal world a generous gift?
It felt as if it wasn't an intruder, but rather someone who had proactively delivered goods to its door.
"No... this didn't happen in my past life either!" The Abyssal Sage King's consciousness was filled with confusion and frustration.
All I did was find the Douluo Plane early, wanting to start the feast sooner and eat a few more bites. Why did I end up kicking a piece of alloy steel studded with divine nails?
There are so many gods in the Douluo Plane! Why didn't I see a single one when I invaded it in my previous life?
To be honest, the Abyssal Sage King was already somewhat regretting his actions.
It began to seriously consider the likelihood of immediately severing all ties with that dimension, pretending nothing had happened, and retreating back into the depths of the abyss to continue its quiet development.
Although losing a formidable clone and the corrosive energy invested in the early stages was painful, it's still better than sacrificing the entire Abyssal Plane, right?
The Abyssal Sage King looked at Tang San, who had been teleported there.
The Sea God Tang San, whom he thought was just a false legend when he invaded the Douluo Plane in his previous life, has now fallen into this state?
It seems there are other invaders in the Douluo Plane who have altered the original course of history?
but...
The Abyssal Sage King glanced at Tang San, who had been teleported there, lying on the ground, covered in blood and his life force fading away.
Why did the clone send Tang San over?
I have absolutely no recollection of this part!
··································
In the Divine Realm, inside the dark Rakshasa God Temple.
This time, she "watched" every detail of Bibi Dong's pursuit of Tang San, Qian Renxue's intervention, the chaotic battle in the valley, and finally the sacrifice of the mysterious clone and Tang San's teleportation into the abyss.
She was initially enjoying it immensely.
However, when the mysterious man sacrificed himself to forcefully open the passage, the Rakshasa God's lazy, reclining posture instantly straightened!
She clearly sensed the aura emanating from that clone—an aura of chaos, devouring, and decay that was completely out of place with the energy system of the Douluo God Realm and even the entire Douluo Plane!
"A deity from another plane...?" The Rakshasa God narrowed his dark purple eyes, his fingers unconsciously tapping the armrest of his throne, producing a crisp sound.
An unknown alternate dimension has already extended its tentacles into the Douluo Plane! It not only secretly supports and manipulates Tang San, this fallen pawn, but also manages to send Tang San away at the crucial moment by sacrificing its clone!
Its purpose was by no means benevolent.
"Troublesome..." she murmured, her tone devoid of any mockery.
The Dragon Realm is lost, the Dragon God has been resurrected, and now an interdimensional invasion has suddenly appeared?
Without any hesitation.
The figure of the Rakshasa God slowly rose from her throne, and with one step, she left her divine realm.
The Rakshasa God arrived at the core area of the Divine Realm, the God Realm Committee, which symbolized the highest power and order of the Divine Realm and was jointly governed by the Five Great God Kings.
····································
After the Rakshasa God finished recounting the events...
With the combined efforts of the five God Kings, they also found the Abyssal Plane attempting to invade Douluo Star.
However, after learning about the level of life in this Abyssal Plane.
The expressions of the deities changed from serious to... barely suppressing a smile.
The Douluo God Realm inherited the legacy of the shattered Dragon God Realm, possessing a rich foundation, and also receives a constant stream of divine officials and Second-Level God from various planes, including Douluo Star.
In a plane of this level of life, it would be difficult enough to even give birth to a First-Level God. How could it possibly dare to provoke the Douluo Plane, which has five God Kings?
But since we're already here, we can't just ignore it.
(pa: Actually, I don't quite understand the combat power in Douluo either. In the setting, Gu Yuena's combat power is that of a demigod king, but when the Abyss invaded, the Abyss was set to be unable to withstand too many gods. That is, there was only one god-level being the Abyssal Sage King, and the others were all demigods.)
Gu Yuena, a demigod-king, should have been able to easily defeat him, but she was still injured (she had been recuperating for tens of thousands of years and still had the mind to seal her memories and mingle in the human world?), and she also had dimensional suppression. In the end, she barely managed to fight a quasi-god and only managed to kill him.
··································
Just as the Abyssal Sage King's will, composed entirely of pure malice, was contemplating a timely retreat to cut its losses—
"Boom--!!!!"
A terrifying roar, indescribable in any mortal language and piercing through dimensions and souls, suddenly exploded at the outermost boundary of the Abyssal Plane!
That wasn't the sound of matter exploding; it was the sound of rules colliding!
