The Abyssal Plane, 97th Abyssal Layer.
After the Six-Clawed Demon Emperor died, even the Plane Seed he left behind was transformed into a dark-red soul ring and absorbed into Tang San's body. The 97th Abyssal Layer, whose territory rivaled several provinces of the Heaven Dou Empire, suddenly suffered a violent earthquake. Starting as an insignificant magnitude-one tremor, it climbed relentlessly, seemingly without end. Terrifying vibrations gradually spread throughout the entire plane, and even several neighboring layers could faintly feel the shaking.
Rumble! Rumble! Rumble!
The cavern-riddled ground resembled a digestive biscuit torn apart by a six-year-old child. Crisscrossing fractures covered the vast earth, and as the slabs of ground pulled apart, they exposed bottomless chasms. Even the normally active volcanoes erupted with terrifying lava. Molten rock heated to thousands of degrees flowed everywhere, turning everything in its path into scorched earth. Even abyssal creatures with tremendous resistance to fire and heat could only perish bitterly in the lava and bottomless ravines before this calamity that annihilated an entire plane.
"Squeak, squeak, squeak! Squeak, squeak, squeak! Squeak, squeak, squeak!"
Vicious-looking four-clawed bats and six-clawed bats poured out of countless mountain caves, scrambling to escape the 97th Abyssal Layer and seek refuge in neighboring abyssal layers. Yet barely had they taken flight, before they could travel even a hundred kilometers, they rapidly disintegrated along with the abyssal armies caught on the ground as the plane collapsed.
Bang, bang, bang! Bang, bang, bang! Bang, bang, bang!
A string of explosive reports rang out.
Brilliant fireworks seemed to bloom across the sky.
Only these fireworks blossomed at the cost of tens of millions of abyssal creatures.
Faint traces of abyssal energy seeped from every dead abyssal creature. Accumulating drop by drop, they formed a dense ocean of abyssal energy that drifted through the 97th
