Douluo Continent: I had just reached my limit when the sky exposed me.

Chapter 219 Second on the Divine Artifact Ranking

"Crack!"

Starry Sky Forest, on the edge of the core area.

Without warning, a deafening crash, like glass shattering, rang out!
A spatial rift, even thicker than the one that appeared in Spirit City, with dark red flames burning along its edges, suddenly tore open!

Scorching hot and violent!
An aura of destructive desire surged forth like a volcanic eruption, instantly igniting a vast forest below!
The towering ancient trees rapidly carbonized and collapsed in the eerie dark red flames.

The weak soul beasts that had no time to escape turned to ashes before they could even utter a mournful cry.

Within the crack, a being over four meters tall, its body covered in dark red magma-like patterns, appeared.

A ferocious figure wielding a giant battle axe engulfed in raging demonic flames.

Leading dozens of abyssal creatures that also radiated high temperatures and resembled lava behemoths or fire demons, he strode out!

The Lord of the Third Layer of the Abyss: Emperor Lie, has descended!
The power fluctuations of a quasi-god level were released without reservation.

Its power was even greater than that of the Demon Emperor of the fourth level, carrying a violent force that could burn everything!

"Hahahaha! What vibrant life force! What rich energy fluctuations! This world will become our best food!"

Emperor Lie laughed wildly, his voice like muffled thunder.

The air itself trembled from the shock.

He greedily surveyed the vast, vibrant forest below, his crimson eyes filled with a destructive desire.

"My lads! Devour! Destroy!"

"Let's turn this forest into our hunting ground and crucible!"

The fiery abyss creatures under his command roared with excitement!

Dark red demonic flames rose from their bodies.

They were about to rush into the depths of the forest to carry out indiscriminate burning and slaughter.

However, just as the Emperor's battle axe was about to fall, and the creatures of the Flame Abyss were poised to attack!

"Boom boom boom!"

A chilling, domineering, and terrifying dragon's might, seemingly emanating from the ancient wilderness.

It erupted with a roar from the deepest part of the forest!

It instantly enveloped the entire area!
"How dare you, a mere abyssal filth, set foot in the Star Dou Great Forest?"

A deep, majestic voice seemed to resound directly into the souls of Emperor Lie and his subordinates!
Immediately afterwards, a figure as black as ink appeared.

He appeared as if by teleportation, a hundred meters in front of Emperor Lie in mid-air.

The newcomer was dressed in a black robe, with a tall and imposing figure, a cold and resolute face, and long black hair that moved without wind.

What's most unsettling are his golden eyes, as bright as the sun yet as cold as ancient ice!
He is the number one person below the Lord of Soul Beasts in the Star Dou Great Forest.

Golden-Eyed Black Dragon King, Beast God Emperor Tian!

Di Tian simply stood there, without making any unnecessary movements.

That immense pressure, comparable to that of a god, was like the sky collapsing, pressing down fiercely!

"Pfft!"

"Pfft!"

Behind Emperor Lie, the originally ferocious and raging flame abyss creatures were subdued by this pure, supreme dragon might and divine pressure.

Uncontrollably crawling on the ground!
Its demonic flames dimmed, and it let out a terrified whimper.

Even the quasi-god level Emperor Lie felt his body suddenly sink, as if a giant mountain was pressing down on his shoulders!
His maniacal laughter froze instantly!

Instead, there was unparalleled horror and disbelief!
"A god...a god-level expert? How is that possible?"

A storm raged in the Emperor's heart, and his very soul trembled.

The Holy Lord clearly stated that this plane is restricted by the rules of the God Realm, and the strongest being is only a Limit Douluo!
There is absolutely no possibility that any real gods still exist!

But the black-robed man in front of them was emanating genuine, unmistakable divine energy!

escape!
You must escape immediately!
The only thought that instantly arose in Emperor Lie's mind.

Facing a true god-level being, even one who has only just entered the god-level realm, is far beyond what a quasi-god like him can contend with!
Moreover, the opponent's aura was so terrifying!
"Want to go?"

A cold mockery flashed in Di Tian's golden dragon eyes.

He slowly raised his right hand!
A long sword, entirely black, with countless intricate dragon patterns engraved on its blade and radiating a terrifying aura capable of annihilating even the most powerful souls, appeared out of thin air in his hand.

God-Slaying Sword!
"Since you're here, stay forever."

Di Tian's voice was calm and even, yet it carried a coldness as if he were pronouncing a death sentence.

The words have not yet been spoken!

He gently swung the God-Slaying Sword forward.

There was no earth-shattering momentum, no dazzling light.

Only a single, perfectly condensed, jet-black sword mark, seemingly capable of cleaving through time and space, silently slashed across the void.

Emperor Lie didn't even have time to make any effective defensive or evasive maneuvers.

He felt an irresistible, all-encompassing destructive sword intent lock onto everything about him.

"Do not!!!"

He let out a desperate roar, frantically channeling all his abyssal magic and his innate demonic flames. However, it was all in vain.

"laugh!"

The jet-black sword mark sliced ​​through the seemingly impenetrable giant shield of flames without any resistance.

Then it swept past the massive body of the Fierce Emperor, past the stiff, fiery abyss creatures behind him...

Time seems to stand still at this moment.

next moment.

Emperor Lie's ferocious expression froze!
He looked down at his body in disbelief.

A thin black crack stretched from his brow down to his crotch.

"Your Majesty...the intelligence...is incorrect..."

This was his last vague thought.

"boom!"

The Fierce Emperor's massive body, along with the Demon Flame Battle Axe in his hand and the dozens of Flame Abyss creatures behind him.

It crumbled silently, turning into the finest black dust.
It was then completely annihilated by an invisible force.

Not even a trace of remains or a wisp of demonic energy were left behind.

With a single sword strike, the Quasi-God-level Emperor Lie and his elite vanguard were annihilated!

The spatial rift, having lost its energy support, fluctuated violently a few times before reluctantly and slowly closing.

All that remained was a scorched, blackened patch of land below, silently recounting the brief but deadly clash that had just taken place.

The figures of ferocious beasts such as Xiong Jun, Wan Yao Wang, Bi Ji, and Zi Ji appeared nearby almost at the same time that Di Tian sheathed his sword.

They looked at the open space, sensing the lingering abyssal aura in the air, and their faces showed solemnity.

"these people……"

The Demon King's soft voice carried a hint of apprehension.

"Moreover, it seems to be just the vanguard."

Xiong Jun clenched his fist, his dark gold claws flashing coldly: "These damned bastards, they set the forest on fire as soon as they arrived!"

"Di Tian, ​​well done!"

Brigitte's eyes were filled with worry: "They are appearing more and more frequently, and judging from the situation, it seems that they are not limited to human cities, but are also randomly invading our soul beast territories."

Di Tian slowly sheathed the God-Slaying Sword, his golden dragon eyes sweeping over the ferocious beasts as he spoke in a deep voice.

"The invasion of the Abyss Plane is aimed at the entire Douluo Plane, and all living beings are their prey."

"His Majesty foresaw this."

Di Tian's voice echoed in all directions, "All soul beasts over 100,000 years old will be assigned to guard different areas of the Star Dou Great Forest, especially the weak points in the spatial structure."

"Issue any unusual spatial fluctuations or abyssal aura immediately and delay as much as possible. I will arrive as soon as possible."

"In addition, notify other major soul beast habitats such as the Demon Forest and the Far North to be on high alert and exchange information."

"The Abyss Plane is the common enemy of all of us Soul Beasts."

"Yes!"

The ferocious beasts responded in unison.

Disperse quickly to execute the order.

……

In an increasingly tense and oppressive atmosphere!

Above the sky, the light belonging to the second divine artifact finally reached its peak.

"Boom boom boom!"

Accompanied by an even grander and more ancient hum, its complete information began to unfold slowly across the entire Douluo Continent like a scroll!

Immediately afterwards, a huge illusory halo with a diameter of over a hundred feet slowly took shape in the center of the sky.

The halo is not a physical entity, but rather composed of countless tiny points of light.
