"Is this the doing of the seven Elemental Gods? Or does this change exceed their expectations?"
Su Ming leaned towards the latter.
After all, the baptism by the Prime Essences essentially increased his body's affinity with the seven elements, and it was applied to his main body from the Douluo 1 era.
"Could it be that my 'left foot stepping on the right foot, spiraling into the sky' faith acquisition constitution is acting up again?"
The reason he leaned towards the latter was naturally because Su Ming had confidence in his own "left foot stepping on the right foot, spiraling into the sky" constitution.
If one truly were to rank them, Elemental God faith would be at the God King level.
So, simply increasing affinity definitely wouldn't be enough.
"A normal Spirit Master, even if recognized by the seven elements, wouldn't necessarily gain corresponding faith; at most, they would become compatible with that faith."
The reason Su Ming dared to be certain of this was because of Electrolux.
Electrolux's achievements on the path of necromancy were unparalleled. Yet, within Su Ming's Sea of Consciousness, despite having some understanding of faith, it still took Electrolux some effort to cultivate his own necromantic faith; it wasn't granted out of thin air.
"Elemental God faith is indeed high-level. It doesn't come from living beings but from heaven and earth."
Within the cosmos, divine ranks exist.
Where there is a rank, there is faith.
Just like the Sea God. His faith comes from the sea spirit beasts of the vast oceans, as well as from the vast seas themselves.
Every ocean in every lower plane inherently contributes a massive baseline of faith.
Then there's the Water God. Clearly having lost the vast sea as a massive faith system, yet still a First-Class God, precisely because the concept of water itself is too broad.
"Everyone, who wants to be the first to try?"
With the grand formation set up, Su Ming looked at the Limit Douluo who had been waiting for a long time.
His gaze locked onto Qian Gu Dieding.
Qian Gu Dieding turned his head away, avoiding eye contact with Su Ming.
Judging by his posture, he had no intention of being the first to try.
Su Ming waited for a moment. Finally, the first volunteer stepped forward—Tong Yu.
As the most isolated person present, he understood he needed to demonstrate his value.
Beyond demonstrating value, he also needed to display his strength.
Only strength earns recognition.
Everyone moved to the center of the battlefield. The passage connecting the two planes was now completely enveloped by the grand formation. This separately isolated battlefield space had actually also fully encompassed the passage.
"After some time, I will upgrade the grand formation again. At that time, I will attempt to extend the formation space into the interior of the spatial passage, even spreading it towards the Abyssal Plane. In the future battlefield, Spirit Masters will no longer be constrained."
Su Ming's words resonated with Cao Dezhi.
The Douluo side suffered losses in war precisely because their laws were suppressed, preventing Spirit Masters from using their Spirit Power.
If the Elemental Formation could truly solve this problem, then this formation could absolutely be called the most strategically significant formation for the Douluo Planet in resisting the Abyss.
Tong Yu walked to the passage entrance and directly invoked his Martial Soul Possession.
His appearance was already fierce. After Martial Soul Possession, he seemed like a Fierce Beast had possessed him. The auspicious Qilin beast on him had practically become an evil spirit version.
Five Elements power erupted. Nine fully red Spirit Rings arranged themselves in sequence, causing the expressions of all the Limit Douluo present to change.
All hundred-thousand-year rings!
Everyone present dispelled their feeling of looking down on Tong Yu.
Even from Star Luo, his strength was not to be underestimated.
Just broke through to Limit Douluo?
Chen Xinjie pondered inwardly, thinking that given time, Tong Yu might well become a quasi-god.
A layer of domain appeared around Tong Yu. The Five Elements Domain manifested, faintly resonating with Su Ming's Elemental Formation. He directly walked into the passage.
Within that passage, Abyssal rules were dominant. Spirit Masters entering would be unable to use their Spirit Power.
Those with Spirit Domain Realm spiritual power could resist to a certain extent, but their strength would still be constrained.
Tong Yu charged into the passage. After only a brief moment, he returned, holding a ninth-rank Abyssal creature.
Cao Dezhi's face changed slightly.
Under normal circumstances, ninth-rank Abyssal creatures wouldn't linger within the Abyssal passage. This ninth-rank creature was likely one Tong Yu found after charging into the Abyssal Plane itself.
Truly bold.
The Abyssal Sage King probably didn't expect that after the last eruption, someone would still dare to provoke him.
Even if he appeared incompetent, in reality, he had only revealed a sliver of power across the plane, yet it forced Su Ming to exhaust all means just to gain a slight advantage.
This Tong Yu actually dared to charge into the real Abyssal Plane.
Ignoring everyone's opinions, Tong Yu simply held the ninth-rank Abyssal creature, operated his Five Elements Domain, absorbing its abyssal energy into his body.
Following Su Ming's instructions, he used his own insights to refine the abyssal energy, turning it into his own power.
Apart from the mark belonging to the Abyssal Sage King, which couldn't be cleared, the rest of this energy essentially bore the mark of a Spirit Master.
Tong Yu's Five Elements Domain was extremely overbearing, capable of stripping an enemy's power for his own use. His arsenal of Five Elements Spirit Skills also possessed powerful assimilation capabilities.
Techniques like Five Elements True Fire, Five Elements Source, and Five Elements Fission proved surprisingly effective in refining abyssal energy. In just a short while, the ninth-rank Abyssal creature was sucked dry into a desiccated corpse, completely dead.
"Bastard!"
The Abyssal Sage King's furious roar erupted from within the passage.
A pair of deep eyes opened, filled with anger and madness.
All the Limit Douluo present felt a gaze fall upon them.
"Such powerful oppressive force," Yun Ming thought, his heart startled.
"You are seeking death!"
Only now did the Abyssal Sage King notice the abnormality at the Blood God Legion.
Su Ming's establishment of the grand formation didn't inherently conflict with the Abyss, so the Abyssal Sage King received no feedback.
Now, with Tong Yu testing the formation, he realized the Blood God Legion had changed so drastically over these two months. On the other side of the passage, a powerful divine rank had directly replaced the plane's will, specifically targeting and suppressing abyssal energy.
"Is the Douluo Planet's plane will this garbage?"
The Abyssal Sage King was speechless internally.
Being suppressed by him was one thing; after all, he controlled the entire Abyss and could concentrate power, while the Douluo Planet's plane will had to be distributed across the entire plane.
But for the plane's will to be find a way to drive them away by Spirit Masters within the plane...
What he didn't know was that the Douluo Planet's plane will had a very complex composition, complicated to the point of being mixed with multiple faiths, split into multiple factions.
Originally preparing to launch another Abyssal Tide to teach the Blood God Legion another lesson, the Abyssal Sage King directly gave up.
An ominous feeling.
He truly didn't dare to reach out again now.
Su Ming could directly self-destruct, with the power of his self-destruction approaching the upper limit of the Douluo Plane. The power he condensed would, on the contrary, all become nutrients for Su Ming's revival after his self-destruction.
Utterly unreasonable.
As for mobilizing the Abyssal army, that seemed to have no chance now either.
With so many Limit Douluo watching, their eyes gleaming green as they stared at the "serving hatch" as if looking at prey, it made even the Abyssal Sage King's hair stand on end.
"Bastard! Bastard!"
The Abyssal Sage King raged impotently.
"If it weren't for my concern about the Sea God's contingency plan, how could I be so insulted by you lowly cultivators who aren't even gods!!!"
