The gamble was on the Abyss Saint King's greed. If the Abyss Plane continued to allow mere shrimp soldiers to invade Douluo Continent as before, it would only allow Huo Yuhao to continue to fleece them.
The Abyss Saint King had likely realized this, so now, pressing his advantage and crushing Douluo Continent in one fell swoop was his best option.
He wasn't disappointed. Soon, Gu Yuena, Tang Hao, and the Abyss Saint King emerged in succession.
Gu Yuena quickly arrived at her designated position, generously channeling her divine power into the formation.
Huo Yuhao and Ilex did the same, the three forming a triangle. At this moment, the formation presided over by the three gods was unprecedentedly powerful.
Hundreds of chains soared into the sky, seemingly binding the entire world. Thus, the Fu Shen Grand Formation was activated.
"Hahahaha, Douluo Continent, welcome your new master!"
With a hearty laugh, the Abyss Saint King officially stepped into Douluo Continent.
However, the Abyss Saint quickly noticed something amiss. Two more figures had appeared. He frowned, looking at the Mountain Dragon King and Ilex. Why would such an ordinary world produce so many god-level powerhouses?
The moment the Abyss Saint appeared, Huo Yuhao, Ilex, and Gu Yuena simultaneously activated the Binding God Array. Hundreds of chains intertwined, instantly sealing the entrance to the dimensional portal. Then
, the chains extended and lengthened, forming a massive cage that trapped the Abyss Saint and Tang Hao within.
Huo Yuhao felt reassured. The most crucial step of the plan was complete; now it was just a matter of playing to his strengths. The advantage was in his hands.
The Abyss Saint, wielding the Heavenly God Abyss-Splitting Halberd, swept it across, deflecting over a dozen incoming chains. He coldly said, "You bunch of ants, nothing but a death throes. Do you really think this lousy formation can harm me?"
Huo Yuhao thought to himself, "We're not naive enough to think we can subdue you with just a formation. Our main purpose is to buy time, waiting for the Mountain and River Map to unleash its power."
But there was no need to tell the Abyss Saint any of this; it would only be pointless, a show of bravado, and would only provoke a desperate resistance, creating more unpredictable variables.
Like in the original story, when Tang San told the Abyss Saint about his ten-thousand-year plan, it was pure blunder—a display of intelligence that almost resulted in his grandson being killed.
The Heavenly God Abyss-Splitting Halberd sliced through the chain-formed cage, having some effect, but the chains instantly returned to their original state.
If the God-Binding Formation, painstakingly developed by Huo Yuhao and Electrolux, could be broken so easily, then there was no point in continuing.
Despite his arrogant words, the Abyss Saint King was truly helpless against the combined might of the three gods in activating the formation.
Moreover, since arriving on Douluo Continent, he had experienced the same treatment Huo Yuhao and the others had received – dimensional suppression.
Due to this suppression, the Abyss Saint King could only unleash about 80% of his full strength.
"Tang Hao, what are you waiting for?" Huo Yuhao urged, seeing Tang Hao's thoughtful expression.
Hearing this, Tang Hao looked at the Abyss Saint King, seemingly hesitant, but his mind was racing.
Something was wrong. How could a strange, powerful figure suddenly appear among the Soul Beasts? And that ghostly-looking guy – when did he recover so quickly?
How many things were these guys hiding from me?
And they didn't tell me their plan beforehand; they were clearly wary of me.
Tang Hao's thoughts raced through his mind. He considered his current predicament – he was also trapped in the formation. These guys had ill intentions.
Suddenly, a thought flashed through Tang Hao's mind: Could that brat Huo Yuhao already know that it was Xiao San who plotted against him?
Thinking of this, Tang Hao felt a sense of foreboding. If these people really killed the Abyss Saint King, he would probably be the next one to be eliminated.
No, he had to stop them.
With this thought, Tang Hao secretly transmitted his voice to the Abyss Saint King: "Saint King, how about we cooperate?"
Upon hearing this, the Abyss Saint King looked at Tang Hao in astonishment, "Are you joking with me?"
The Abyss Saint King also communicated with Tang Hao using telepathy.
Tang Hao felt a pang of bitterness and hurriedly said, "There's not much time to explain. I was deceived by them. We've all fallen into their trap; they want to wipe us all out! The only way
to escape this predicament is for us to join forces."
Tang Hao spoke with sincerity, even tinged with indignation; one might have thought his son had been tricked into going to northern Myanmar.
After listening, the Abyss Saint King looked at Tang Hao, who, like himself, was trapped in the formation, and couldn't help but believe him somewhat.
Moreover, Tang Hao was already his opponent, and since things couldn't get any worse, the Abyss Saint King agreed. "Then do you have a plan to break the formation?"
Tang Hao was overjoyed and continued to transmit his voice, "Although I don't have a method to break the formation, I can free the Saint King from the suppression of the plane. We'll work together to break this formation later."
The Abyss Saint King said, "Alright, I'll trust you this once."
Huo Yuhao was unaware of Tang Hao and the Abyss Saint King's conspiracy, but seeing their reaction, he sensed something was wrong.
After all, he was always wary of Tang Hao.
Besides, in their current state, Tang Hao should have realized what was going on by now, unless he was completely clueless.
Huo Yuhao gave Gu Yuena a wink, signaling her to be vigilant.
Suddenly, the Abyss Saint King felt his body become incredibly light, the heavy feeling vanishing completely.
The Abyss Saint King was overjoyed; this guy hadn't lied to him.
Tang Hao also began to put on an act, wielding the massive Clear Sky Hammer with ferocious power, viciously smashing it towards the Abyss Saint.
Just as the Clear Sky Hammer was about to strike the Abyss Saint, the latter easily dodged it with a sidestep.
The Heavenly Saint Abyss Splitting Halberd swept out.
Clang!
Boom!
Many chains were destroyed, but then, just like before, they were restored in the blink of an eye.
The Clear Sky Hammer's powerful strike shook the entire cage, the enormous sound like thunder, deafening.
But it was all useless; his attack was like a tickle, purely for laughs.
The Abyss Saint was dumbfounded. Something was wrong; he had clearly regained his strength, so why couldn't he shake this broken formation?
Suddenly, his dark eyes fixed on Gu Yuena, his gaze filled with disbelief. Why had that woman's aura suddenly become so strong, stronger than his own?
Yes, Gu Yuena had stopped pretending, and couldn't keep up the act any longer.
Tang Hao also sensed Gu Yuena's aura, which was far stronger than it had appeared before.
Tang Hao almost vomited blood in anger; it turned out these people had been deceiving him from beginning to end.
"Despicable."
The two words seemed to be squeezed out from between his teeth. Tang Hao's old face twisted in rage, his heart filled with shame, anger, and fear…
