Douluo: The Throne of Ice

Chapter 247 Entering the Abyss Plane, the Abyss Saint King Falls

A strange energy permeated the spatial passage, and the space in many places was unstable, even riddled with flaws.

The spatial fluctuations that erupt from time to time are enough to kill all creatures below the Soul Emperor realm. The Abyss Plane wanted to take over the Douluo Plane in one fell swoop, but opening up spatial channels across such a great distance was not an easy task. The energy required was terrifying. Although these spatial channels could be said to have barely connected the two planes, they were extremely weak and could not support powerful beings to pass through in a short time. Otherwise, they would collapse directly, and all the efforts would be in vain.

The spatial passage in the Star Dou Great Forest is one of the most stable spatial passages that have appeared on the continent. As Shu Yan moved forward, strange abyssal creatures appeared in his eyes one after another. However, no matter what their strength was, they would uncontrollably self-destruct as soon as they appeared in Shu Yan's eyes. The abyssal energy scattered after their death was forcibly devoured by the Evil God's Scepter before it could return to the abyssal plane through the spatial passage, and then stored in the Evil God's position.

Feeling the greed emanating from the evil god's throne, Shu Yan's smile deepened.

He was right. The Evil God's Scepter, which was originally an artifact of the Evil God, had an extremely powerful ability to devour all energies similar to negative energy, and this abyssal energy happened to be one of them.

In his eyes, the Abyss Plane was no longer a threat to the Douluo Plane, but a stepping stone for him and the plane to reach higher levels.

In the future, as long as the position of the evil god absorbs enough energy, it will become the true position of the god-king, and the evil god's scepter itself is a divine artifact, with the potential to become a super divine artifact in the future.

……

The deeper one goes into the spatial passage, the more stable the surrounding space becomes, and the more powerful the abyssal creatures that appear.

The opposing plane seemed to have sensed his arrival as well. A powerful repulsive force appeared in Shu Yan's perception. This spatial passage was also considered territory of the Abyss Plane. It was the plane's primordial power repelling him. It seemed that the opposing plane's ruler had already sensed the threat.

The coldness in Shu Yan's eyes intensified, and an even more powerful energy swirled around him. The Evil God's Scepter emitted rings of dark purple ripples. Shu Yan increased his speed to the extreme, transforming into a purple light that traversed the spatial passage. The next moment, as he passed through a transparent membrane, the world before him suddenly changed. Darkness and various eerie colors appeared before him. Countless abyssal creatures guarding outside the spatial passage sensed the intruder and let out sharp, piercing roars. For a moment, the entire world seemed to become noisy.

Shu Yan snorted coldly. He was not an abyssal creature, but he was a true god-level expert. When he came to the abyssal plane, he would inevitably be suppressed by the plane's laws.

But this didn't affect him much. He had absolute confidence in his strength, not to mention that with the position of the Evil God and the Scepter of the Evil God by his side, the entire Abyss Plane could be the source of his power.

Shu Yan brandished the Evil God's Scepter, and a pillar of calamity rose into the sky, transforming into a rain curtain that fell from the heavens. Countless abyssal creatures were killed and devoured, and even the abyssal king of this level could not escape. In just a short moment, this abyssal plane completely collapsed, and the seed of the plane was also destroyed, becoming nourishment for Shu Yan.

In an instant, the entire Abyss Plane was plunged into terror and panic. Just then, a deep and chilling voice suddenly rang out, silencing everyone's noise.

"That's enough!"

"Humans... there are actually powerful beings like you. No... I sensed the power of the plane's origin within you. You are the plane master of the Douluo plane."

In the depths of darkness, a huge vertical pupil slowly lit up. It was a blood-red eye, and if you looked closely, it seemed to be composed of countless tiny red eyes. From a distance, it was quite eerie, even nauseating.

As the blood-red eye appeared, the chaotic abyss plane immediately quieted down. Even the planes near the abyss plane that Shu Yan had destroyed became calm, as if the previous impact had never occurred.

Shu Yan stared directly into those blood-red eyes, his voice devoid of any emotion:

"The Abyss Plane came with the intention of devouring the Douluo Plane to improve itself, and the Douluo Plane could also have the same intention."

"We are both masters of our own planes, but the suppression of your Abyss Plane's laws has little effect on me. Let's fight, or... the Abyss Plane will have no choice but to accept its fate of being devoured."

In the darkness, the blood-red eyes seemed even more alluring and eerie, with strange energy ripples spreading outwards. All the creatures in the entire Abyss Plane held their breath. The next moment, the blood-red eyes suddenly disappeared, and a glimmer of light seemed to appear in the darkness. The next moment, a figure suddenly appeared not far from Shu Yan. The two figures stood in the void, their powerful auras colliding, causing even the entire Abyss Plane to tremble slightly.

The Abyss Saint King had crystal-clear, translucent white hair, a fair complexion, and an extremely handsome appearance. However, his black eyes had no whites; they were as deep as an abyss, making him look terrifying.

Upon closer inspection, his fingers were remarkably long, almost excessively so. A long black robe covered his entire body, with a broad collar that flared out to the sides, extending his massive black skin backward, giving the impression of endlessness.

Their gazes clashed in the void, and time itself seemed to freeze. A terrifying aura, sharp as knives, filled the air. The Abyss Saint King's black eyes scrutinized Shu Yan for a long time before he finally spoke:

"You are not the original ruler of the Douluo plane; you have only recently become a god. I do not know what means you used to shield yourself from the suppression of the laws of my Abyss plane, but you could never be my match."

Shu Yan scoffed lightly, then said:

"I don't think so. Killing you wouldn't be difficult for me."

The Abyss Saint King seemed to chuckle lightly. Light swirled in his hand, and then a long halberd exuding a chilling aura appeared in his grasp.

The halberd itself has few ornate decorations, but just the fact that it is held in the hands of the Abyss Saint Lord gives people a sharp feeling that pierces the soul.

The Heavenly Saint Abyss Splitting Halberd is a super artifact born from the Abyss Plane. It possesses the "Abyss" characteristic, and its penetrating power can ignore any defense, making it one of the most powerful melee artifacts.

Shu Yan's white robes fluttered as the Evil God's Scepter in his hand slowly transformed into a halberd. An extreme evil aura, along with various elements, swirled around it, making it in no way inferior to the Heavenly Saint Rift Halberd in terms of its aura.

The two clashed at lightning speed. Facing the Heavenly Saint Abyss Splitting Halberd, Shu Yan was highly focused. He swung the Evil God Halberd, causing fluctuations in the power of spacetime. The Heavenly Saint Abyss Splitting Halberd's attacks were constantly dodged and evaded. The Abyss Saint King's face was ashen, and his attacks became increasingly fierce. The aftershocks caused the surrounding planes to fluctuate violently. Countless abyssal creatures roared violently, whether out of fear or excitement. The most powerful emperors of the abyss plane were also watching the battle from afar. In their eyes, there was shock and fervor. It was a true battle of gods, if they could say they had witnessed it firsthand.

The destruction caused by the divine war was indescribable. The planes near this level were already showing signs of collapse. As time went on, the expression on the face of the Abyss Saint King became more and more gloomy, because he discovered that even though he possessed the super artifact Heavenly Saint Rift Halberd, which ignored all defenses, and was fighting in his area of ​​expertise, he was still being suppressed by Shu Yan.

The spatial and temporal power surrounding Shu Yan was too strange. Although the Heavenly Saint Rift Halberd was powerful, it could not play its due role when it could not touch Shu Yan's body.

Meanwhile, the Evil God's Halberd, which was transformed from the Evil God's Scepter, was frantically absorbing energy from the Abyss Plane to amplify Shu Yan's power. Under such circumstances, the Abyss Saint King, who was the master of the plane, was already showing signs of decline.

"We can't afford to waste any more time..."

Thinking this, the Abyss Saint King immediately created distance between himself and Shu Yan, then turned and said:

"All abyssal creatures, heed my command! Humanity has appeared and is capable of destroying us. Therefore, we must act now at all costs."

"Those who are willing to sacrifice themselves to help me kill the invaders and open the spatial passage, I guarantee that there will be no obstacles when I am resurrected in the future, and their plane level will be raised by three. In this way, at least twenty-five kings will be required to sacrifice themselves."

A chilling sound echoed in the deepest part of the abyss, causing a tremendous commotion among all the abyssal creatures once again.

However, soon, many Abyss Kings took the initiative to step out and sacrifice themselves. Among them, the strongest one was no different from a human Limit Douluo, but each of them was born with a strange shape. There were also some beings whose figures were similar to humans, but they were still more or less affected by the environment.

With the sacrifice of twenty Abyss Kings, the Abyss Saint King once again wielded the Heavenly Saint Rift Halberd, unleashing a surge of primal power from the plane, incredibly powerful.

Another powerful force surged into two of the many dimensional passages. One of them led to Mingdu, the core of the Sun and Moon Empire, while the other was the spatial passage that Shu Yan had traversed.

Countless abyssal creatures emerged from every layer, every shadow, and every corner of the abyssal plane, their blood-red eyes giving the entire abyssal plane a faint crimson hue.

All the creatures of the abyss began to riot.

……

As all the abyssal creatures frantically rushed towards the rapidly expanding spatial passage, the Abyssal Saint King once again turned his gaze to Shu Yan.

The power of the plane's origin was activated, and a gray light, symbolizing death, lit up on the Heavenly Saint Rift Halberd.

The surrounding world changed in an instant, and even the Evil God Halberd could no longer draw even a trace of energy from the surrounding space.

The Abyss Saint King's face was icy, his black eyes surging with killing intent, before he said in a cold voice:

"You are indeed very strong, but you are too arrogant. The Abyss Plane is ultimately my territory. Although you can ignore the suppression of the plane's laws, you cannot be immune to the invasion from the plane's origin power. You are the only one in the past tens of thousands of years who has been able to push me to this point."

"After you die, I will preserve your soul so that you can witness the complete destruction of the Douluo Plane, where all living beings are wiped out. Opposing me will be the most regrettable thing you ever did in your life."

As soon as he finished speaking, the boundless power of the plane's origin completely sealed off the surrounding space. The light on the Heavenly Saint Rift Halberd became increasingly dazzling. The Abyss Saint King slowly raised it, and then, with the support of the power of the plane's origin, the Heavenly Saint Rift Halberd transformed into a gray light and pierced towards Shu Yan. When this gray light appeared, the entire world stopped.

In the cold eyes of the Abyss Saint King, the Heavenly Saint Rift Halberd pierced straight through Shu Yan's body, and Shu Yan's body exploded into countless pieces of flesh and blood. The Abyss Plane slowly returned to calm.

The Abyss Saint Lord calmly withdrew the Heavenly Saint Abyss Splitting Halberd. He looked at the countless abyssal creatures vying to squeeze into the spatial passage, and for a moment his expression was somewhat dazed.

But soon, a strange smile appeared on his face.

At this point, the overall situation seemed to have been settled, and the Abyss Saint King was just about to breathe a sigh of relief when, in a moment of distraction, he suddenly realized that something was wrong.

As the Heavenly Saint Rift Halberd was swung, the scene before him shattered like a mirror. A dazzling sword light flashed, and the arm of the Abyss Saint Lord holding the Heavenly Saint Rift Halberd was severed.

Shu Yan held the Ice God Sword, and the absolute zero temperature caused snowflakes to fall in the desolate world of the dead. The Abyss Saint's pupils contracted, but before he could react again, the Ice God Sword suddenly pierced his heart.

The power of the Ice God and the power of the Evil God surged and circulated within his body. Shu Yan held the Evil God's Halberd in one hand and the Ice God's Sword in the other. As he drew the Ice God's Sword, the Evil God's Halberd followed closely behind. A terrifying suction force erupted within the Abyss Saint King's body. He stared at Shu Yan in disbelief, a trace of blood seeping from the corner of his mouth...

"How...how is this possible?"

"How could you possibly withstand my attack, which is a culmination of the power of countless planes' origins, without even sustaining a scratch..."

Shu Yan released the Evil God Halberd, feeling the continuous flow of power into his body. Then, he chuckled softly:

"You don't need to know, all you need to know is that you should die."

The Abyss Saint King kept spitting out mouthfuls of blood, seemingly muttering something intermittently, but Shu Yan paid no attention. He looked at the vast and boundless Abyss Plane, the corners of his mouth curving into an even wider smile.

He may have indeed died for a moment, but that was only in the eyes of the Abyss Saint King. Under the effect of the Evil God's supreme divine skill, the Realm of Time Reversal, he was able to rewind time and completely control everything within that time.

This attack is similar to the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger's Arena of Life and Death, both being the most powerful bug-level divine skills. Once unleashed, they can almost completely turn the tide of battle.

This was the evil god's trump card, a life-saving and desperate divine skill. However, after the evil god died, it was transformed into a legacy and left in the evil god's divine position. Shu Yan inherited the evil god's divine position and naturally also obtained all of the evil god's divine skills.

All I can say is that Old Deng, the evil god, is actually quite conscientious in this regard.

Turning his head, Shu Yan looked at the Abyss Plane, which was gradually showing signs of collapse. After draining the Abyss Saint King dry, the Evil God Halberd returned to Shu Yan's hand and transformed back into the Evil God Scepter. The Heavenly Saint Abyss Splitting Halberd was also suppressed and retrieved by Shu Yan. Once he erased the mark left by the Abyss Saint King on the Heavenly Saint Abyss Splitting Halberd, this super artifact would truly belong to him...
