Douluo Dalu: The Frozen Throne

Chapter 245: Tang Hao's Death, the Origin of the Planes and the Strange Embryo

The ultimate collision of the three divine powers caused a terrifying wave as if a natural disaster had come to be felt within a radius of thousands of miles.

Rocks collapsed, many mountain peaks were shaking, countless plants were covered with frost and countless evil energies, and high in the sky, the space overlapped layer by layer, and then shattered into countless transparent fragments like a broken mirror.

Tang Hao's figure was extremely embarrassed. His original black robe was torn, and drops of blood were flowing from the hand holding the Clear Sky Hammer. The next moment, Tang Hao leaned forward suddenly, vomited a mouthful of black blood, and his whole body began to shake.

Although the Great Sumeru Hammer was powerful, it was still too difficult for him to use it forcefully given his current state. After this attack, his condition plummeted and his aura fell to the quasi-god level in just a short moment. But soon, with a hint of azure light blooming in his body, his aura recovered and barely stayed at the level of just entering the god level.

Bibi Dong and Xue Ling, who blocked the Big Sumeru Hammer head-on, had traces of blood at the corners of their mouths, but compared to Tang Hao, their situation could be said to be as good as it could be.

Xue Ling's hand holding the Ice Sword trembled slightly, and her pretty face, which was very similar to that of the Snow Queen, was slightly pale at this moment. Looking at Tang Hao, who was already a last-ditch enemy in the sky, she chuckled and said:

"What a pity that attack didn't kill you outright. I've sensed the divine power in your body before, but it's already been exhausted. It won't be long before you can no longer maintain your True God level cultivation. By then, even without our intervention, the injuries caused by your forced use of divine skills and the serious internal injuries in your body will kill you outright."

Tang Hao looked at the two of them coldly, then raised his head in silence at the empty sky, a bitter smile appearing at the corner of his mouth.

"Yes, I poured all my divine power into the Great Sumeru Hammer, which had reached the second-level divine level, but it still didn't kill you. This is fate. We...were defeated in the end..."

As a powerful aura rose behind the two women, the corpses of the two divine beasts turned into powder and disappeared at a speed visible to the naked eye. Shu Yan's arms flashed with two completely different lights. He slowly opened his eyes and looked directly at Tang Hao in the sky. A cold light flashed in his eyes. In just a moment, he appeared in front of Tang Hao and strangled the other's throat.

"Tang Hao, I've been waiting for you for a long time."

Shu Yan's voice was a little hoarse. Tang Hao stared at Shu Yan intently, but after a moment, he suddenly relaxed and said intermittently:
"Let Xiao Qi go... please..."

Shu Yan sneered and increased the strength in his hands. In just a moment, he turned Tang Hao into a ball of bloody mist.

The evil god's scepter drew a strange rune in the void, completely absorbing all the energy in Tang Hao's body, and then slowly flowed into Shu Yan's body.

Turning around, Shu Yan looked at Bibi Dong and Xue Ling. The coldness in his eyes slowly dissipated, and then a smile appeared.

"Thank you two seniors for your help this time."

Xueling waved her hand, looked at Shu Yan with gentle eyes, and then said:
"This is my duty as the guardian of the Ice God's heritage."

Bibi Dong sneered and said:

"It's good that you know. You are so bold. If the two of us fail to stop Tang Hao, I will see how you will end it."

Shu Yan just smiled and didn't say anything to refute Bibi Dong.

This is the other person's personality. Although she is not very forgiving in her words, she actually means well. Now is not the time to argue with her, so Shu Yan just let her be.

Turning around, the three of them stood in the void and looked down at the completely destroyed Haotian Sect headquarters.

After sensing it for a while, Bibi Dong said with a hint of amusement:
"I haven't made a move yet, but the noise caused by those two beasts and Tang Hao alone killed nearly 70% of the disciples in the Haotian Sect. Let's not talk about Tang Hao for now, but soul beasts are still soul beasts after all, and they won't really care about the lives of these people..."

Xueling on the side raised her eyebrows and glanced at Bibi Dong slightly.

Shu Yan's eyes swept across the ruins, and in the distance, there was a group of surviving disciples and strong men of the Haotian Sect gathered. The old man leading them had a soul power level of ninety-eight, and he should be the contemporary Haotian Douluo.

Seeing Shu Yan's gaze looking at him, the old man's soul trembled, and then his martial spirit was automatically released. A giant hammer surrounded by thunder appeared at his side, and nine soul rings, one yellow, two purple and six black, rose up. The ninth soul ring had a hint of red in the black color, indicating that it was very close to 100,000 years old.

"Achieving level ninety-eight without a hundred thousand year spirit ring?"

Bibi Dong was a little surprised. She waved her hand casually, and the martial spirits of the remaining people automatically possessed her body. The yellow, purple and black lights were very dazzling, but there was only one hundred thousand year spirit ring missing.

Shu Yan sneered, not really caring, and just said casually:
"After those two beasts took control of the Haotian Sect, they served as the Grand Master and the Second Master of the Haotian Sect respectively, and each generation of Haotian Douluo could not become the Master. At most, they could become the Grand Elder of the Sect."

"What's more, those two beasts did not allow the powerful men of the Haotian Sect who had broken through the Title Douluo to hunt the hundred thousand year soul beast. The old man was a little older than Xuan Zi, but he had just entered the ninety-eighth level. It can be seen that his potential was greatly affected."

Shu Yan learned all these things from the memories of the two beasts. After devouring all the energy and souls of the two beasts, he could use the power of the head soul bone to obtain any information he wanted from the other party, including those memories in the God Realm.

After that, Shu Yan opened the space channel, and Xue Ling followed him and turned to leave. Before leaving, Shu Yan paused, then turned back slightly and said:

"As for the remnants of the Haotian Sect, you can do whatever you want, senior. Let them go or kill them. It's up to you."

Having said that, Shu Yan took Xue Ling and disappeared into the space channel.

Bibi Dong glanced at the trembling remnants of the Haotian Sect, and a hint of playfulness appeared at the corner of her mouth...

……

After returning to Xingluo City, Shu Yan had a brief conversation with the girls and then went straight into seclusion.

The souls and all the energy of the two divine beasts, the origin of the god Tang Hao, the core of bright life obtained from the golden tree, and the huge energy that Shu Yan had stored before, all the light balls surrounded Shu Yan, emitting different auras.

Shu Yan entered a strange state. His consciousness came to a blank world and his soul seemed to be sublimating. Even the major souls in Shu Yan's body felt it. They sat quietly in Shu Yan's sea of ​​​​spirituality, meditating and feeling the changes in themselves.

Countless energies transformed into beams of light and poured into Shu Yan's body. The prototype of the third soul core had already taken shape. With the infusion of huge amounts of energy, the originally incomplete prototype gradually grew larger and more complete.

The terrifying energy fluctuations caused the surrounding space to slightly distort, and the divinity in him became more and more intense. He was not only condensing the third soul core, but also completing the last step before becoming a god.

The two great divine positions in the body echoed each other. With the birth of the first divine power from his own origin, everything around Shu Yan suddenly became empty, and his figure strangely disappeared on the spot, as if he had never appeared...

In the blank world, Shu Yan slowly opened his eyes.

The space beside him was blank, extremely pure white and clean. Countless golden dots of light were suspended beside him. An indescribable energy was guarding this blank but sacred space.

Not far in front of Shu Yan, a soft white light ball was quietly suspended in the air. The familiar breath made Shu Yan's heart jump, and he murmured subconsciously:

"The origin of the plane?"

Shu Yan was surrounded by a group of golden light spots and gradually approached the white light ball. Suddenly, a thought came from the light ball and then appeared clearly in Shu Yan's consciousness.

The next moment, the light on the white ball of light changed slightly. The originally soft white ball of light was slightly twisted, and an embryo-like existence was vaguely revealed.

The embryo slowly separated from the white light ball, and then moved closer to Shu Yan little by little. Only then did Shu Yan see the true appearance of the embryo.

The embryo was as white as jade, exuding the most primitive breath of life. There was a strange aura about it that made people unconsciously feel pity and love for it, but for some reason, Shu Yan felt that this embryo had an extremely obvious resonance with something in him.

As Shu Yan's forehead touched that of the embryo, the next moment, the embryo turned directly into a stream of white air and entered Shu Yan's body.

Shu Yan felt that his consciousness was unprecedentedly clear and transparent. In an instant, his consciousness seemed to appear in every corner of the continent at the same time. In an instant, whether it was the birth and death of life, or the most subtle changes in the world, nothing could escape Shu Yan's eyes and perception.

As his consciousness gradually sank, Shu Yan's body was enveloped by countless golden light spots. In this blank world, only this golden halo was shining brightly and gleamingly.

……

Since Shu Yan came out of seclusion, time has passed little by little.

In this tense atmosphere, time often passes much faster than usual.

In the Star Dou Great Forest, the space passage sealed by Shu Yan once again showed signs of expanding.

The aura of the strong from the other plane was clearly transmitted to the Douluo plane. With the landing point of the space channel as the core, all the soul beasts within a radius of 100 miles were expelled and transferred. Di Tian and many ferocious beasts lived here, always keeping a close eye on the space channel that exuded the aura of destruction.

As the space channel was opened up to a certain extent, some advance troops from the Abyss Plane had also come to the Douluo Plane along the space channel. However, the strongest of these Abyss Planes were only at the Soul Emperor and Soul Saint level of humans, and were easily strangled by the roots and vines of the Ten Thousand Demon King that had already spread throughout the surrounding land. They then turned into Abyss energy and returned to the space channel.

Gradually, both humans and soul beasts gradually figured out the characteristics of these abyssal planes. Subsequently, a greater panic emerged among both humans and soul beasts.

Deep in the Star Dou Great Forest, the Silver Dragon King's purple dragon eyes penetrated the space and stared at the space passage. Then she sighed softly and turned her gaze to the southwest, which was the direction of Xingluo City. It was difficult for the Silver Dragon King to describe her feelings. Although she didn't want to admit it, Shu Yan was indeed the only chance for the Douluo plane now. Only if he successfully became a god could he completely turn defeat into victory and give the Douluo plane a brand new future, instead of becoming the nourishment for the growth of the Abyss Plane.

……

In Xingluo City.

Several people were sitting in the pavilion, their faces slightly sad.

Dugu Yan put down the drinks and pastries in silence, then bowed lightly and left.

After looking at the pieces of information scattered on the table for a long time, he sighed softly and then said:

"It is hard to imagine that the Douluo plane would encounter such a disaster at this time. According to Elder Qian, more and more powerful abyssal creatures gradually emerged from the space channel that appeared on the southern coast. The most powerful one is almost as powerful as a human Soul Douluo. The abyssal creatures have strange means, and we cannot completely kill them with our means..."

"This is a war of huge disparity in strength. If the Abyss Plane really begins a full-scale invasion, I'm afraid it won't take a few days for humanity's defenses to collapse completely. By then, it will be a true world-destroying disaster..."

Su Tong leaned on Ruan Qinyu's shoulder, looking a little tired. These days, as more and more members of the Su family moved to the Xingluo Empire, Su Tong had been busy settling them.

A space channel also appeared on the Douling side, but its development speed was relatively slow. The energy consumed in developing the space channel was extremely huge, and the abyss plane also had to pay a considerable price.

The reason why the Abyss Plane is willing to make huge expenditures to open up so many space channels in one go is probably because it has noticed that the Douluo Plane has no power to resist at this time, and it wants to take the opportunity to take over the entire Douluo Plane in one go.

Shu Yan had been in seclusion for some time, but there had been no trace of his aura. Even the space within a hundred meters of where he was in seclusion had become distorted, and no one could get close to him. Qiangu Chaosheng had come here several times during this period, but they all came to the same conclusion in the end.

With his strength, neither his soul power nor his mental power could penetrate the distorted space, but he still had a vague sense that Shu Yan was not in trouble.

Everyone sat for a while, and after a long while they stood up and prepared to leave.

"Recently, the panic and fear among the people in the country have become more and more serious. Xingluo City is not immune. I have to represent the royal family to comfort the people. Everyone continue to rest. I will go and get busy first..."

After saying that, Xu Jiujiu stood up and left the pavilion, and under the protection of Nebula Douluo, left the princess's mansion.

Ruan Qinyu looked at the sadness on everyone's faces and for a moment she didn't know how to comfort them.

Some of these space channels appeared near large human cities, and it was impossible to conceal them from the public. The high-ranking officials and strong men of humanity had held more than one meeting and discussion on this issue. Even the most powerful and independent Sun-Moon Empire could not escape the impact...

The reason is very simple. The space channel that appeared in the Sun-Moon Empire happened to be in the center of Mingdu City. This was like a poisonous sting directly into the heart of the Sun-Moon Empire. It was impossible for them to ignore it or stay out of it...
