Douluo Continent: Not enough bloodline? Make up for it with brains

Chapter 596 Choice

The moment the Heavenly Saint Rift Halberd appeared, many of the Crimson Mother's doubts were answered.

He now knew why Xu Yuan had attacked her.

This is a powerful figure that Tian Shen (the Holy Lord of the Abyss) provoked.

Moreover, it is very likely that it is the Douluo Star that the Abyss is currently devouring!

Previously, upon hearing that a peerless genius had emerged in this generation of Douluo Star, transforming himself in just ten years and leaving even Tian Shen's true form helpless, Crimson Mother found it all absurd. However, seeing that the other party was in a hurry, she also sent her subordinate general Yan Long over.

Unexpectedly, after years of not paying attention, Tian Shen's Heavenly Saint Rift Abyss Halberd appeared in front of her.

She knew perfectly well what this meant.

The abyss is gone.

Similarly, both of her sons also died.

The abyss was devoured by Douluo Star, and even the super artifact, the Heavenly Saint Rift Abyss Halberd, was taken away.

"Are you a Soul Master from Douluo Star?"

The Crimson Mother revealed a cold smile.

Xu Yuan did not reply, and his halberd pierced the body of the Crimson Mother.

His gaze trembled, and his eyes widened noticeably.

The Crimson Mother's body was pierced by the Heavenly Saint Rift Halberd in his hand, yet she remained unharmed.

After his initial surprise, Xu Yuan quickly turned around and drew out the Heavenly Saint Rift Halberd.

Holding the Heavenly Saint Rift Halberd in his left hand and the Primordial Chaos Spear in his right, he quickly retreated.

At this moment, Yuan Kong and the other two also prepared their attacks.

Because the Crimson Mother attacked Xu Yuan, she is now positioned in the middle of the other three, who are now attacking her from behind.

After Xu Yuan withdrew, he had enough time to sense the changes in the Heavenly Saint Rift Halberd.

His gaze shifted slightly.

"It has become weaker. Although the characteristics of the abyss are still there, it seems that a part of it has been devoured."

Xu Yuan's expression darkened.

The properties of this super artifact are such that it can be devoured.

He hadn't thought about this before.

In his mind, super artifacts belong to the category of indestructible ones.

Now it seems that this is not the case.

Or rather, the Heavenly Saint Rift Halberd is somewhat special.

Xu Yuan shifted his gaze from the Heavenly Saint Rift Halberd to the Crimson Mother.

At this moment, the Crimson Mother's ultimate artifact swept backward, and a new power emerged from the destructive force.

That is—the power of the abyss.

The power of destruction blocked the attacks of Yuan Kong and the others, while the power of the abyss passed through all other forces and was directly transmitted to the three of them.

Yuan Kong's expression changed slightly.

The Queen of Life had not expected that the Crimson Mother's all-out attack would be so difficult.

Her gaze fell upon the divine artifact in the hands of the Crimson Mother.

"To hide this incredible artifact?"

The Queen of Life harbored some doubts.

There's absolutely no need to do this just to hide a super artifact.

The Crimson Mother is already one of the strongest beings in this universe. With the entire God Realm now extinct, if she possesses this ultimate artifact, she will definitely stand at the pinnacle of the universe.

Without a God-King, who could possibly snatch the ultimate artifact from her?

If it's not out of concern, then it can only be that the Crimson Mother wants more.

The Queen of Life narrowed her eyes slightly.

Her gaze was fixed on the Crimson Halberd in the Crimson Mother's hand, and she recalled the two powers that the Crimson Mother had just displayed, as well as the situation when the ten artifacts were fused together.

"That Crimson Mother wants to assemble two super artifacts!"

Two super artifacts with completely identical characteristics, yet independent of each other.

They only had one idea, but they wanted to use it to have twins!

By using the same characteristic, create two super artifacts!

The Queen of Life then combined the shapes of the ten artifacts, separated them into two groups, and they could form two different shapes from the current Crimson Halberd.

Crimson scepter, crimson crescent blade.

Perhaps the Crimson Mother initially intended to create these two divine artifacts, but something was missing, which is why she remained dormant.

The Queen of Life's speculation is close to the truth.

However, the truth is of little significance at this moment.

Because the Crimson Mother was forced to assemble the artifacts, she only obtained one super artifact.

Her gaze was filled with murderous intent, directed not only at Yuan Kong and his two companions, but also at Xu Yuan.

In any case, it was those four who disrupted the Crimson Mother's rhythm.

"Fine, killing you all will make up for the loss of one of my divine artifacts!"

As the Crimson Mother spoke, she vanished.

Her movement was silent.

She was already a half-step God-King, with an extremely high level of control over space. Combined with the abilities of the plane master, her teleportation was close to the effect of Yuan Kong using the gate of time and space to hide and teleport.

When she reappeared, she was behind Xu Yuan.

The crimson halberd thrust out, its target not being Xu Yuan, but rather the Heavenly Saint Rift Halberd in Xu Yuan's hand.

Xu Yuan frowned, sensing the movement behind him, but remained calm. He did not use the Heavenly Saint Rift Halberd to defend himself, but instead directly absorbed it into his Primordial Chaos World.

He had already sensed the abyssal characteristics of the Heavenly Saint Rift Halberd being devoured, so of course he wouldn't give the Crimson Mother another chance.

Instead, he had an idea.

If it were to devour in reverse, it could use the power of the abyss within the Crimson Mother to enhance the power of the Heavenly Saint Rift Halberd.

Or perhaps...

Xu Yuan held the Hunyuan Spear in his right hand, turned around and held it horizontally in front of him. A vortex appeared and swallowed the tip of the crimson halberd.

Devour!

As the power of devouring was activated, Xu Yuan's expression changed slightly.

Sure enough, it wasn't so easy to devour.

Although the Hunyuan Spear's ability can counter the power of the abyss to some extent, it only counters the opponent's true damage characteristic and does not completely eliminate the opponent's damage.

Moreover, while the vortex resists the abyss's power by ignoring defenses, the devouring effect is also negated.

"This is really tricky."

The Primordial Chaos World spread out, and Xu Yuan disappeared instantly, reappearing once again with Yuan Kong and the other two.

"The three of you, the Crimson Mother is much stronger than we predicted. If we really fight to the death, we might lose half our strength," Xu Yuan said.

The Crimson Mother who possesses the ultimate artifact and the Crimson Mother who does not are two completely different things.

"We really miscalculated. We thought the Crimson Mother was hiding from the three of us because she was afraid of us. Now it seems that she didn't want to expose her trump card by confronting us head-on."

Yuan Kong was quick-witted and realized that the Crimson Mother wanted to combine the two super artifacts.

His gaze was heavy.

These two extraordinary artifacts are definitely not as simple as they seem.

In particular, Yuan Kong knew that the Heavenly Saint Rift Halberd in Xu Yuan's hand also belonged to the Abyss Saint Lord.

Therefore, it's equivalent to a Crimson Mother nurturing three super artifacts.

One could be a coincidence, but two or three could definitely not be.

If this Crimson Mother continues to grow, she definitely has the potential to become a God-King!

And this is highly likely.

Even a god-king might not possess a super artifact.

This means that even a god-king would find it extremely difficult to create his own super artifact, yet the Crimson Mother alone could create two super artifacts, directly or indirectly, and almost created three!

"The three of you, make your decision."

Xu Yuan's voice was somewhat flat.

Should the encirclement and suppression plan continue or end here?
