At this moment, inside the Abyss Plane.
The Sage Emperor led the Black Empress to the very core of the Abyss Plane.
Thick Abyss energy permeated the surroundings, as if the entire space was shrouded in an invisible force.
Deep inside, a powerful energy fluctuation was constantly surging.
"Is it the primordial power of the Abyssal Sage King? Why?"
Upon seeing this, the Black Empress immediately understood why the Sage Emperor had brought her here.
"How do you know he would definitely leave some of his primordial power here?"
"It's simple. After all, I've fought alongside the Abyssal Sage King for so long, so I can at least keep up with his train of thought. Especially after Yu Longyue thwarted his plans twice, I could tell that he actually wanted to take the entire Abyss away from Douluo Star."
Sage Emperor stood with his hands behind his back, gazing indifferently at the remaining primordial power.
"It's fair to say that even the Abyssal Sage King isn't entirely confident of victory in this operation, so naturally he needs to prepare an escape route for himself."
"Without a doubt, this remaining primordial power carries the will of the Abyssal Sage King. Once he fails to devour Tang San, he will use this primordial power to send him back to the Abyss Plane, and then take the entire Abyss Plane away from Douluo Star."
"If he succeeds, the entire Abyss Plane will be elevated. For the Abyssal Sage King, this is a huge gamble. If he succeeds, his future will be bright; if he loses, he can simply lose most of his energy and leave with the Abyss."
Sage Emperor took a deep breath.
The Black Empress couldn't help but ask:
Do you think he will succeed?
"Perhaps he has a chance to succeed, but with me here, he's bound to lose this gamble. Even if he devours Tang San, I will quickly absorb this source power and compete with him for the energy of the Abyss Plane. After all, no matter what, he is at his weakest right now."
"Now is the best opportunity to win him over."
Black Empress's pupils contract slightly:
"You said you've communicated with Yu Longyue, and this is the plan?"
"No." Sage Emperor shook his head. "In the end, Yu Longyue still didn't choose to fully trust me, so he crushed everything with absolute power, without using any schemes or tactics. Absolute force shattered everything."
"Unfortunately, Tang San still managed to teleport him away."
"You took advantage of Yu Longyue!" A hint of surprise appeared on the Black Empress's pretty face. "What should we do when Yu Longyue returns?"
"It's not a matter of exploiting him; he just happened to create a perfect opportunity for me. I couldn't possibly miss this chance to make my move, could I?" Sage Emperor smiled, then said, "As for when Yu Longyue returns, I'll apologize to him, or perhaps I'll take my life to make him not touch you or something."
The Black Empress fell silent.
She was momentarily speechless at the Sage Emperor's actions.
Having always been in the cold and cruel environment of the Abyss, she actually felt a bit of warmth.
Sage Emperor's gaze was fixed straight ahead.
"Alright, let's quietly wait for the outcome between the Abyssal Sage King and Tang San."
"When the time is right, I will forcibly absorb this primordial power. At that time, I will ask you to protect me."
Black Empress nodded obediently. "Okay."
Within the Nine-Square Grid, the Abyssal Sage King and Tang San continued their battle.
The divine auras of the two clashed fiercely within the Nine-Square Grid, determining who was superior.
Two completely different Divine Power intertwined, forming powerful shockwave ripples. These ripples swept out like tsunamis, scattering the surrounding seven-colored shell and creating dazzling patches of colorful light.
Each collision brought together all their strength, as if the whole world trembled at that moment.
"Hehe, Tang San, it seems you're out of luck!"
With a wicked smile, the Abyssal Sage King tirelessly wielded the Heavenly Sacred Abyssal Rift in his hand, seemingly gaining a slight advantage.
"Is that so? Oh, Your Sage King Sage King, you planned everything so meticulously, yet you didn't foresee that you would become a sitting duck without even realizing it?"
Tang San struggled to defend against the Abyssal Sage King's attack with the Sea God Trident. Both sides possessed Super Divine Artifact, so the difference lay in their effectiveness.
Behind Yuan Sage King, a purple sun gradually emerged, radiating an eerie and powerful light. The next second, the purple sun, carrying endless Abyss energy, surged towards Tang San like a tide.
Tang San showed no fear, raising the Sea God Trident in his hand. A deep blue aura burst forth from his body, transforming into a boundless sea.
The aura of the ocean contrasted sharply with the Abyss energy of the Abyssal Sage King. On one side was the deep ocean, and on the other was the dark Abyss. The collision between the two was destined to be extraordinary.
The deep blue sea and the purple Abyss energy collided violently in the air, producing a deafening roar.
The clash of the two forces created a powerful shockwave that spread outwards, causing the space within the Nine-Square Grid to tremble violently.
Even the Nine-Square Grid was almost unable to contain the duel between these two First-Level God, let alone the two weakest First-Level God.
If both of them were at their peak, the Nine-Square Grid would probably have been broken long ago.
Even so, the space within the Nine-Square Grid began to be gradually torn apart by these two powerful forces, and the surrounding air was compressed, forming vortexes.
The purple sun continuously released powerful energy, attempting to devour Tang San. However, Tang San's Sea God Trident acted as an insurmountable barrier, blocking all of this energy.
Under Tang San's control, the deep blue sea churned and surged, forming powerful waves that crashed towards the Abyssal Sage King's purple sun.
Each collision generated enormous sparks, as if stars were exploding in the sky. With the combined will of both sides, this battle of mutual devouring turned into a tug-of-war.
But soon, it became clear that the Abyssal Sage King was beginning to falter.
" Sage King Sage King, do you know why I said you were a sitting duck?"
Tang San looked at the Abyssal Sage King, who was already unable to hold on any longer, and sneered.
"It's truly a case of a tiger fallen into the plains being bullied by dogs. If I were in my prime, you wouldn't even dare to glance at me, but now, you dare to set your sights on me?"
"Remember this: I was once God King Realm! Even in this state of destitution, I am not someone a mere Abyss like yours can devour!"
Tang San laughed heartily and increased his power once again. The vast ocean instantly engulfed the purple sun, enveloping the Abyssal Sage King within its own sea.
"Become my nourishment, give me all your energy, and help me ascend to the God King Realm!"
"Roar--"
The Abyssal Sage King let out a miserable howl, and his body began to show signs of collapse.
I lost the bet!
He never imagined that even at this point, he would still be no match for Tang San.
The Abyssal Sage King gritted his teeth, determined to discard most of this energy and use his pre-prepared escape route to return to the Abyss Plane.
But the next second, his ability had no effect, which made his eyes widen in disbelief.
"No! Sage Emperor, stop! Stay away from my source power!"
The sinister laughter of the Sage Emperor also echoed in the mind of the Abyssal Sage King:
" Abyssal Sage King, your era is over. Just obediently let Tang San kill you."
