Revive, My Love [Meme]

However, this sight caused the pupils of Black Empress to constrict sharply.

A bone-chilling, piercing murderous intent erupted from her!

The aura within this human youth, who had just awakened his martial soul—nascent yet possessing a supreme status—actually made her feel a suffocating sense of threat!

This sense of threat even surpassed that of the successive commanders of the Blood God Legion and any Limit Douluo she had ever fought!

This child must not be allowed to live!

The wariness in the heart of Black Empress instantly transformed into the most resolute killing intent.

With such potential, if left to grow, he would surely become a monstrous calamity for the Abyss Plane as it swept across the Douluo Continent!

In an instant, the deep black mist permeating the body of Black Empress surged and condensed frantically!

A pitch-black giant claw that blotted out the sky formed from thin air, carrying a baleful aura capable of tearing everything apart. Ignoring the barriers of space, it appeared instantly above the head of Luo Yang and struck down viciously!

The speed was at its absolute limit!

"Stop!"

Zhang Huanyun and Blood One turned pale with shock, frantically driving their soul power to intervene, but this lethal strike from Black Empress was far too sudden; they were a fraction of a second too slow.

A curve appeared on the beautiful lips of Black Empress.

She admitted that the martial soul of this human youth was indeed shocking and possessed infinite potential.

But that was all.

So what if he awakened a god-level martial soul? He was, after all, a zero-ring soul master who hadn't even attached his first soul ring!

Before her, an Abyssal King at the demigod level, he was no different from an ant that could be crushed with a flick of her hand!

The shadow cast by the pitch-black giant claw had completely enveloped Luo Yang along with the remains of Blood Eight on the ground.

Destruction would come in an instant.

Yet, Luo Yang's expression remained calm.

The dark red longsword behind him vibrated gently, then automatically shielded its master, transforming into a streak of blood-colored light to meet the attack.

But the moment it made contact with the giant claw—

"Crack."

The dark blood sword only hindered the giant claw for less than half a second before letting out a mournful cry. Its luster dimmed as it retreated into the body of Luo Yang, and the pale bone armor covering his entire body shattered and dissipated piece by piece.

After all, he was facing a strike from the Ninth Abyss Emperor, even if it was only a projection!

The giant claw met no further resistance, its shadow completely swallowing the small figure of Luo Yang as it slammed down!

"No—!"

Blood One's eyes were on the verge of splitting.

However, the scene of flesh and blood flying everywhere that had been anticipated did not occur.

The sneer at the corner of the mouth of Black Empress suddenly froze.

Zhang Huanyun, Blood One, and everyone who witnessed this scene were stunned on the spot.

Because, between the destructive giant claw and Luo Yang, a figure had appeared out of nowhere.

A verdant, dreamlike figure.

She wore a simple yet elegant emerald green dress that outlined her plump and graceful body to perfection. Two exquisite green leaf hairpins were tucked into her hair, the tips of which were dyed a faint emerald hue.

Most captivating were her eyes—a verdant four-leaf clover pattern slowly swirled within her pupils, as if containing the power of the origin of life.

However, her form was exceptionally faint, nearly transparent, as if a gust of wind could scatter her.

And the moment she appeared, the heaven and earth elements of the entire Endless Mountain Range—no, the entire Douluo Continent—seemed to have received a summons!

Countless multicolored elemental light spots emerged from the void, converging toward her frantically like a hundred rivers returning to the sea!

Facing the pitch-black giant claw capable of shattering mountains, she merely raised a slender jade finger and tapped it lightly.

"Pop..."

A soft sound, like a bubble bursting.

That terrifyingly imposing pitch-black giant claw shattered inch by inch, as if it were a phantom being poked through.

This is... the aura of the Douluo Plane?!

The beautiful eyes of Black Empress constricted.

Zhang Huanyun, Blood One, and the others were left dumbfounded.

Black Empress stared fixedly at the verdant figure, her voice icy: "What is your relationship with the Douluo Plane?"

The verdant woman did not answer directly, but instead smiled, her voice ethereal and pleasant: "Go back. Today, with me here, you cannot harm anyone in this place."

"Ridiculous!" Black Empress sneered repeatedly, "Just by relying on this remnant power of yours?"

She sensed it clearly: although the aura of this verdant woman was profound, her energy level was at most equivalent to a human Limit Douluo, and her state was extremely unstable and incredibly weak.

If she were in her prime, she might have been three parts wary, but now?

"Whether it is laughable, you shall know once you try."

The emerald-clad woman remained composed, the light of four-leaf clovers swirling within her verdant eyes.

Following her will, the majestic elemental power and the origin of the Douluo Continent, gathered from across the entire world, began to vibrate and resonate with a profound, mysterious rhythm!

This was not a simple accumulation of energy; it was the "power" of the entire plane being wielded by her!

Zhang Huanyun and the others felt their pupils dilate, a terrifying thought surging uncontrollably in their minds.

Could this be... the power of the Plane Master?!

The expression of the Black Empress also turned completely grave.

To mobilize the power of an entire plane—this was something no soul master, not even the strongest on the continent, could ever achieve!

Unless...

"Are you the Plane Master of the Douluo Continent?!" The beautiful eyes of the Black Empress were filled with disbelief.

The emerald-clad woman smiled slightly, neither confirming nor denying.

But this reaction was, without a doubt, the answer!

The powerhouses of the Blood God Legion were shaken to their cores.

Title Douluo could all vaguely perceive the existence of the plane's consciousness, but when this "sovereign" truly appeared before them, the shock was still beyond words.

Luo Yang, however, was not surprised by this.

Ever since a moment ago, his consciousness had been clear, yet his body was suddenly being controlled by the Plane Master; otherwise, why would he have come here if not to court death?

"If I were in my prime," the emerald-clad woman looked at the Black Empress, her smile gentle yet her words looking down upon the world, "the first thing I would do is completely erase your Abyss Plane that covets my world."

The beautiful face of the Black Empress was covered in frost.

She did not doubt the truth of these words for a second.

The Abyss had long since sensed that the Douluo Continent had two "Plane Masters." The original one was being constantly drained, gradually being replaced by an "outsider."

Had it not been for this, their Abyssal invasion would not have gone so smoothly.

(Tang San: Didn't expect that, did you? This was all the world-shaking wisdom of this God King—all to help my parents ascend.)

"That is, after all, a 'what if'," the Black Empress said coldly. "The current you is nothing more than a spent force."

"Is that so?" The light of the plane gathering at the fingertips of the emerald-clad woman grew increasingly brilliant. "Even with only this much power left, borrowing the momentum of the entire Douluo Continent is more than enough to destroy this projection of yours."

The eyes of the Black Empress flickered.

When Abyssal creatures died, their energy returned, and the kings of each layer could also be resurrected. However, the "kings" after resurrection were often no longer their original selves and could even be usurped by other powerhouses within their race.

"I believe you can do it," the Black Empress changed the subject, "but you cannot deceive me. You appeared only to protect this human boy."

She saw it clearly: this Plane Master valued that boy highly; otherwise, she would never have risked being detected by the Abyss Holy Monarch to force an appearance.

Before the words had even faded, black mist surged in the hands of the Black Empress, condensing into a hideous longbow.

The bowstring was pulled taut, the arrowhead pointing directly at Luo Yang!

"Curse of the Black Emperor!" Zhang Huanyun exclaimed in horror, clearly recognizing the terrifying innate skill of the Black Emperor clan.

The emerald-clad woman frowned slightly, waving her hand to cast layers of emerald light curtains.

However, the black arrow seemed intangible and formless, passing directly through all defenses and turning into a streak of ghostly light that instantly sank into Luo Yang's body!

Luo Yang shuddered, subconsciously looking down to inspect himself, only to find he was completely unharmed, not even feeling a hint of pain.

"???"

Luo Yang was bewildered.

What was this? Neither painful nor itchy—was she just trying to scare him?

But immediately after, an indescribable sense of cold, gloom, and being marked sprouted from the depths of his soul.

This feeling made him feel more uneasy than any physical injury.

I don't even have a soul ring, and you're a demigod big shot—is it really necessary to target me like this?!

Luo Yang's face turned black.

Seeing the arrow hit its mark, the corners of the Black Empress's mouth finally curled into a meaningful arc.

She no longer lingered, issuing orders to the Abyssal creatures.

"Retreat!"

The projection dissipated instantly.

The Abyssal creatures that had surged out like a tide also retreated rapidly, shrinking back into the depths of the passage. Yet, before leaving, both the Black Emperor clan and the Demon Charm turned back to take a deep look at Luo Yang.

That gaze... greedy, longing, and scorching, as if a lecher had seen a beauty, they simply couldn't look away!

Luo Yang felt his skin crawl, as if he were being eyed by a fleet of heavy trucks.

Don't look at me like that, I'm still just a child!

"Do not be afraid." The emerald-clad woman drifted to Luo Yang's side and smiled gently. "That arrow from the Black Empress is an innate curse of her race. It might be a fatal threat to others, but for you... it may not necessarily be a bad thing."

A curse isn't a bad thing?

Luo Yang's mouth twitched.

The emerald-clad woman said no more, extending a slender finger to point lightly at Luo Yang from across the air.

In an instant, the seven-colored origin power of the plane gathering between heaven and earth seemed to find its home, transforming into a torrent of the purest blessings as it surged toward Luo Yang!

"Plane Blessing!!" Zhang Huanyun and the others exclaimed once more, filled with envy.

Luo Yang felt a vast, warm power flood into his limbs and bones, and he couldn't help but let out a soft groan.

At the same time, a power of the laws of death and rebirth—one originating from the same source as his martial soul, yet far deeper and more expansive—quietly spread out with him at the center, instantly sweeping over the remains of every soldier of the Blood God Legion on the battlefield.

Including Blood Eight.

Under the shocked gazes of everyone present.

The horrific piercing wound on Blood Eight's chest writhed, grew, and healed at a speed visible to the naked eye! Her pale complexion returned to a healthy flush.

Her long eyelashes trembled, and she slowly opened her eyes.

The other fallen soldiers also sat up one by one, looking dazed, as if waking from a long dream.

"This is the manifestation of your power at its limit—within the Undead Scourge Domain, life and death are yours to command." The emerald-clad woman said softly, "However, the effect you see now is merely the authority I have borrowed your body to display. The extent to which you can achieve this in the future depends on yourself."

With that, she transformed into a streak of emerald light and vanished into the center of Luo Yang's brow.

As Blood Eight opened her eyes, the first thing that met her gaze was Luo Yang's youthful face, mere inches away.

Luo Yang?!

Didn't I die? How am I alive!

Though it was hard to believe, the facts left her no choice but to accept it.

In an instant, she stared blankly at Luo Yang's youthful face, her heart pounding.

Yet at this moment, Luo Yang seemed unable to withstand the vast Plane Blessing; his vision went black, and he collapsed straight forward.

He fell right into a soft, welcoming embrace.

Blood Eight caught him instinctively, pulling him close.

The youth fell into a deep sleep in her arms, his breathing steady, as if he were simply exhausted.
