Douluo: Trinity, I run through the timeline.

Chapter 401 The Targeting of the Cosmic Will (Please Subscribe!!!)

"Where did it go? Why did it disappear into thin air?"

Soul masters in the Douluo plane certainly couldn't do that. Could it be that a deity from the Douluo God Realm intervened?

Do not!
The Abyss Saint King could not sense any aura from the Douluo God Realm.

The power of the gods cannot be felt.

Since they've made their move, they certainly won't just take away such a small amount of energy.

The Abyss Saint Lord tried his best to sense everything around him, but he couldn't feel anything. He tried to go back in time, but he could only feel an unfathomable force blocking him.

"Could it be that the will of the universe has its eye on me?"

The Abyss Saint King's expression turned grim.

"The Crimson Domain has expanded so much before it gradually attracted the attention of the cosmic will. Compared to that, my Abyss is only in its infancy. How could it have attracted the attention of the cosmic will?"

His eyes flashed with an unpredictable, frenzied light, and all sorts of conspiracies surfaced in his mind.

It's important to understand that the Abyss wasn't particularly large to begin with. It pursued a path of quality, which was significantly different from the development of the Crimson Domain. Moreover, while pursuing quality, it used its excess resources to nurture the super artifact—the Heavenly Saint Abyss Split Halberd—to prevent itself from being powerless to resist if it were targeted by the will of the universe.

"Could it be that she has a backup plan? Is she planning to use me as a shield to reduce the pressure on the Crimson Realm?"

The Abyss should not be targeted at its current stage of development!
The Abyss Saint Lord pondered for a long time. He closed his eyes, as if deep in thought, and countless thoughts flashed through his mind. The entire abyss fell silent at this moment.

"Continue to feel it; if it is the will of the universe targeting you, this targeting will be continuous."

Sure enough, not long after, another piece of abyssal energy disappeared silently.

The Abyss Saint King controlled the entire plane and manipulated the power of the plane to descend, but he still couldn't find any culprit.

"Even gods couldn't do this, so it really is the will of the universe targeting me? What kind of targeting is this? Is it weakening my size out of thin air? How long will it last? It can't be targeting me forever, can it?"

"Again?"

The Abyss Saint King sensed that the amount of Abyss energy disappearing was increasing, and the will of the universe was becoming increasingly greedy.

"Damn it, we must find a way to exploit the loopholes and resist the erosion of the universe's will, otherwise even a massive abyss can't withstand this loss of energy."

The Abyss Saint looked toward the core of the abyss, grasped the Heavenly Saint Abyss Splitting Halberd, and closed his eyes to carefully perceive the entire plane.

Wielding the Heavenly Saint Abyss Splitting Halberd, his control over the entire abyss reached a new level.

However, at this point, the erosion by the will of the universe ended.

"Does it come every now and then? Or have you cut me down to below the critical point?"

The Abyss Saint King fell into deep thought.

"Let's see how long it takes before you stop beating me up."

After waiting for several days, the Abyss Saint King breathed a sigh of relief.

"Fortunately, it's not like it's being slowly but surely cut to pieces all the time. This speed is more than enough. Once I devour Douluo Star, I'll definitely be able to reach a higher level, and then I might be able to find the source."

"Fortunately, Douluo Star has that Demon Emperor, who is a remarkable figure."

Su Ming was full.

"The Abyss Saint King is quite vigilant; he can detect things immediately, which is much better than Tang Hao."

Back in Douluo Star, Su Ming was even trying to seduce Ah Yin, and Tang Hao, like an incompetent husband, didn't notice at all. But this Abyss Saint King is completely different; he could even sense when Su Ming stole a sesame seed from behind him.

"That's absolutely outrageous."

Compared to the sheer size of the entire abyss, the amount of energy Su Ming stole was negligible.

"I've only stolen energy from ten ninth-tier abyssal creatures so far, and I haven't even touched the Emperor yet."

Su Ming grinned. He was at a very high level; the abyssal creatures here were of even higher rank and generally much stronger.

The Abyss has a total of 108 levels, each with an emperor, like a secondary plane lord. The emperors of the first 36 levels are the strongest, comparable to the titled Douluo of Douluo Star. The emperors of the middle 36 levels are equivalent to Super Douluo. The emperors of the last 36 levels are all equivalent to Limit Douluo of human soul masters. In particular, the last 18 levels are all beings above demigod level.

Don't be fooled by the energy Su Ming gained from hunting down ten ninth-tier abyssal creatures; their combined energy is less than one percent of that of a weakest-level Emperor.

An emperor in the abyss layer controls the core energy of the entire layer.

Weakness is his own problem, not a problem of the power he possesses.

The reason Su Ming didn't hunt down this kind of emperor was because he was afraid of angering the Abyss Saint King, so he went directly to the thirty-second floor.

"Sigh, hunting ninth-tier creatures like this will get us discovered sooner or later."

The Abyss Saint King currently only believes that the energy has been cut, and has not yet discovered that some abyssal creatures have been hunted and devoured.

Once discovered, Douluo Star will face pressure.

Although Su Ming came in to cause trouble, he hasn't reached the point where he's done his job and is now leaving the pressure to Douluo Star.

"Let's leave first. This abyssal energy should be enough for me to digest for a while."

Su Ming said it wasn't enough, but in reality, his stomach was already full.

He can borrow the power of the Long River to some extent, but the Long River doesn't belong to him, so he has a lot of trouble using it and has no way to take away the power of an entire abyss layer.

After passing the seal, Su Ming breathed a sigh of relief.

"Come back so soon?"

Cao Dezhi also breathed a sigh of relief.

"Is the environment over there very harsh? Your soul power is still too weak. Wait until your soul power is stronger before going in. It's too difficult to resist the erosion of the abyss energy with just your mental power. If your soul power is stronger, even if you can't mobilize it in the abyss, you can still stabilize yourself."

Seeing that Su Ming looked tired, he did not blame Su Ming for ignoring him.

Su Ming returned to the legion and immediately announced that he would be going into seclusion.

"Abyssal energy is much more troublesome than I imagined."

Although they were troublesome, Su Ming was quite happy to absorb and digest these powers.

Because he discovered that digesting the energy of the abyss was also a form of cultivation.

Unlike Tang Wulin and Gu Yuena who devoured with the help of divine artifacts, Su Ming devoured on his own.

To transform tyrannical and disorderly power into order and docility is the process of refining, or devouring.

Su Ming initially followed his previous plan, using his blood and qi to forcibly digest the abyss energy, imprinting it with his own original mark, and gradually assimilating this power.

However, this efficiency is too low.

So he began to intervene with his mental power to help sort things out.

Through this process, he discovered the benefits of digesting abyssal energy.

"As long as the abyssal energy can be suppressed and calmed down, then these are blank sheets of paper on which I can freely add what I think are laws."

Suppressing the energy of the abyss is not difficult; Su Ming simply needs to use the water of the long river to permeate it.

Although controlling the waters of the long river is difficult, this part can be done by the ball of light.

As for whether the light group has any enthusiasm?
Su Ming had already seen him happily stealing the water from the Long River.

While pretending to work hard, they secretly ate water from the long river.

They might say they're unhappy, but their actions tell a different story.
