Twenty minutes later.
The territory belonging to Yu Longyue is finally showing signs of disappearing.
This gave Chen Xinjie and the others a great boost.
At the same time, they discovered that hundreds of soldiers were screaming and dying instantly.
"What... what's going on?"
The domain slowly dissipated, like morning mist gradually disappearing under the sunlight. Everyone's vision finally cleared, and they could see everything that had happened within the domain. They saw Yu Longyue still standing there unharmed, her expression indifferent, her gaze calmly fixed on the scene before her.
Following Yu Longyue's gaze, before him lay a pool of unrecognizable flesh and blood.
Once the seventh-ranked Abyss Emperor, he was now nothing more than a pool of blood and gore, lying on the cold ground.
Its original form is gone, leaving only this shocking pile of wreckage.
The body was a bloody mess, its original outline unrecognizable. It was as if the Transformation Emperor's body had been cut by countless sharp blades and repeatedly struck by heavy hammers until it became this broken and shattered state.
Its panel was no longer that eerie gray, but was stained red with blood, forming a stark contrast with the white snow on the ground.
Bones broke off from the wreckage, their sharp fragments reflecting a faint light, testifying to the ferocity and Heartless of the lightning's power.
The Golden Dragon Spear was embedded in it, the runes on the spear glowing faintly, as if absorbing the last power of the Transformation Emperor, or sealing away its remaining malice.
The air around us was thick with the smell of burning and blood, making one feel nauseous involuntarily.
This patch of mud made the surrounding soldiers feel as if they were back on the battlefield.
That smell was awful.
Yu Longyue was panting heavily. Although she didn't appear to be injured, her clothes were still dirty.
The opponent was, after all, a Quasi-God level powerhouse. Even if I completely overwhelmed it, it would still be difficult to kill it if it made a last-ditch counterattack.
Just like an adult facing a kitten, human instinct is to avoid getting hurt and prefer to remain unscathed.
Reaching a point of no injury takes a long time, but once that point is reached, the hunt begins.
That's why it took a full twenty minutes to finish.
Yu Longyue sighed, raised the recording device in her hand, and began to play it. The voice of the Transformation Emperor rang out clearly, loudly mocking what she had done in the Federation over the past year in front of Yu Longyue.
After the truth came out, everyone suddenly realized and understood Yu Longyue's actions.
But while they understood, the officers around them showed anger and grief.
Chen Xinjie's face turned ashen, and he clenched his fists so tightly that his nails almost dug into his palms.
"Immediately conduct a full-scale investigation. Any suspicious personnel must be isolated and investigated." Chen Xinjie issued the order, then looked at Yu Longyue, "Based on your understanding of the Abyss Creature, are there any of us who belong to them?"
"Theoretically speaking, there shouldn't be any more. Although the Abyss Creature are immortal, each of the 108 layers of Abyss Creature has a leader who leads them. If their leader dies, then all the Abyss Creature in that layer will die as well."
"Aside from their Plane Master being able to forcibly deplete the Plane Power to recover, they have no other means. So, after I killed this Transformation Emperor, Abyss Creature on the seventh level will die. Just to be on the safe side, I'll have my Spiritual Power scan the entire legion again to ensure there are no of their people left."
Chen Xinjie frowned, dissatisfied with the answer:
"Is there no other way for us to find out about their existence except through you? Why? What's the underlying principle?"
"This... is difficult for me to explain."
Yu Longyue sighed.
"General, you don't want me standing here explaining the principles to you for an hour, and expecting you to understand them, right? I can only say that this is a skill that cannot be replicated, and you cannot master it."
He couldn't very well say to Chen Xinjie's face, "I am the Old Tian of your entire Douluo Star," could he?
The Plane Master controls an entire plane, and his power is slowly catching up with Tang Hao's, which makes it very easy for him to detect these outsiders and Abyss Creature.
A simple Spiritual Power scan is enough to identify it.
That's why Yu Longyue said it was an ability they couldn't control or create.
Unless he delegates his power to someone else, but that's too complicated a process, Yu Longyue himself still hasn't figured it out.
Ordinary people have no chance to even come into contact with the level of Plane Master, let alone control an entire plane. Even a genius like Yu Longyue, who spent a year to surpass Tang Hao's ten thousand years, is already quite outrageous.
"This..." Chen Xinjie was taken aback, then looked somewhat worried, "If they use this trick again next time, how can we prevent it without you?"
"We can't just leave you here forever, can we? If you stay here, what will happen to the Blood God Legion?"
Yu Longyue was silent for a moment, then said, "How about I help you solve the problem here first, and then go to the two great empires? It won't take much time anyway, and besides, the Blood God Legion has the Central Legion protecting them, so they can hold out until I go to reinforce them."
"What's the problem?" Chen Xinjie was taken aback.
"Eliminate the Holy Spirit Cult."
The death of Transformation Emperor was like a stone thrown into Abyss, stirring up enormous waves.
On the Abyss Plane Abyss Plane, the seventh layer felt an unprecedented tremor. The space on this layer began to distort, as if the entire plane was mourning the lost emperor.
As the life flame of the Transformation Emperor extinguished, the stability of the seventh layer of the Abyss was completely destroyed. Spatial rifts began to appear, spreading like a spider web. The energy of the Abyss began to run rampant, and uncontrollable power raged within the layer.
The Abyss Creature scattered in terror, trying to find safe haven, but there was nowhere to escape.
A deafening explosion rang out, and the entire seventh level began to collapse. At the same time, all the Abyss Creature belonging to this level died instantly.
" The Transformation Emperor is dead?!"
Upon realizing the loss of yet another Abyss Emperor, the Abyssal Sage King let out a furious roar that echoed throughout the entire Abyss Plane.
This godlike being's rage was now erupting like a volcano, impossible to quell.
" The Sage Emperor!"
The Sage Emperor, who was still at the entrance to the passage in the Far North, suddenly trembled and immediately knelt down on both knees in the direction of the entrance.
" Sage King Majesty."
" The Transformation Emperor is dead; we can no longer afford such a loss."
"Now, summon back all the Spirit Emperor and Blaze Emperor who are outside, and at the same time, order all those belonging to the Abyss who are outside to return to the Abyss Plane."
"If even Spirit Emperor and Blaze Emperor die at the hands of that human, then the Abyss is finished!"
Sage Emperor's face was filled with fear.
What?
Transformation Emperor is dead?
A Quasi-God level cultivator died without even making a sound?
Are you kidding me?
Sage Emperor, suppressing his fear, quickly said:
"But Sage King Majesty... we've already sent Spirit Emperor and Blaze Emperor Lie away, and they won't be returning anytime soon."
"Let the Holy Spirit Cult launch a full-scale attack on the Federation, and while things are in chaos, let them sneak back!"
"Tell the Holy Spirit Cult that I will help them."
Sage Emperor immediately understood the Abyssal Sage King's thoughts and quickly lowered his head:
"Yes, sir!"
