Chapter 209: Abyss Invasion
Just as the entire Douluo Continent focused its attention on the heavenly curtain, awaiting the announcement of the eighth Divine Artifact!
In the Far North.
Deep within a remote glacial canyon.
The space here suddenly began to twist and ripple unnaturally, like pebbles tossed into calm water.
"Crack!"
With a crisp sound, the space shattered like glass, revealing a bizarre fissure three zhang wide, its edges flowing with dark purple energy!
Inside the fissure!
A dense, dark black energy, completely different from the Soul Power of the Douluo Continent, surged out.
Wherever it passed, the glacier surface was rapidly corroded and melted!
Giving off a strange "sizzling" sound.
The air was even filled with a nauseating scent mixing sulfur and putrefaction.
Immediately afterward, figures streamed out of the fissure!
These figures varied in form; some resembled distorted humanoids, their skin covered in dark purple scales.
Others looked like gigantic worms, constantly secreting corrosive mucus.
Still others were like shapeless black mist, drifting and condensing in the air!
Their common feature was... they all emitted dense dark black energy, and their eyes were filled with madness, greed, and the desire for destruction!
Leading them was a tall figure with a sinister face and a vertical eye on his forehead.
He wore dark purple battle armor and dragged a bone-spiked tail behind him, emanating a terrifying aura.
Most striking was the strange longsword he held, which was entirely black, its blade flowing with dark red blood patterns.
It was precisely the Lord of the Ninth Level of the Abyss Plane—Black Emperor!
"Hahaha! Such dense Heaven and Earth elemental power! Such a compatible energy field!"
Black Emperor spread his arms, greedily inhaling the cold air of the Far North.
Feeling the Soul Power flowing in the air, a look of ecstasy appeared on his face.
The Abyssal creatures behind him also let out excited roars!
And began frantically devouring the surrounding energy.
Several Abyssal Worms even lay directly on the glacier, using the secreted mucus to corrode the ice layer and greedily suck up the Ice Elemental energy contained deep within the glacier.
Meanwhile, on the other side of the fissure.
The Abyssal Saint Lord was using the super divine artifact to trace profound trajectories outside the Douluo Continent.
Maintaining the spatial fissure connecting to the Douluo Continent.
"Reporting to the Holy Monarch!"
An Abyssal creature, resembling a bat, flew back through the fissure and reported in a sharp voice.
"Preliminary reconnaissance is complete! The Heaven and Earth elemental power of the Douluo Continent is extremely dense, and the energy field is highly compatible with our Abyss Plane!"
A hint of ecstasy flashed in the Abyssal Saint Lord's eyes: "Hahaha! Heaven helps me!"
If he could completely devour and Fusion the rich plane of the Douluo Continent... his strength could at least Breakthrough to the Peak of a First-rank Deity, perhaps even touching the threshold of a Half-step God King!
Burning ambition blazed in the Abyssal Saint Lord's eyes.
"At that time, the Abyss Plane will become a top-tier plane second only to the God Realm! And I... will become a new God King candidate!"
He immediately transmitted a message to Black Emperor on the other side of the fissure: "Black Emperor! Immediately establish a forward base on the Douluo Continent, act as covertly as possible, and first ascertain the distribution of powers and the intelligence on strong individuals in this plane!"
"Remember, enter in batches. Do not rush too many personnel in at once, lest the God Realm notice!"
"Understood, Holy Monarch!"
Black Emperor responded respectfully.
The Abyssal Saint Lord nodded in satisfaction, then waved the super divine artifact, temporarily closing the spatial fissure.
Only leaving a barely perceptible gap, convenient for subsequent Abyssal creatures to infiltrate in batches.
Having done all this, he quickly vanished into the Void Realm, preparing to return and mobilize more elites.
On this side of the fissure... Black Emperor put away the Abyssal Crystal used for communication, a cruel smile appearing on his face.
"Hmph, with my strength and the Abyssal Devour Talent, becoming the strongest individual in this plane in a short time is no problem at all!"
He looked around, sensing the dense Ice Elemental energy of the Far North, and a hint of greed flashed in his eyes.
"The energy quality of this plane is extremely high. If I could Cultivate here for a hundred years... no, just one year! I could Breakthrough to the Quasi-God level."
Thinking this, he turned and instructed his subordinates: "Disperse immediately and look for suitable locations to establish a forward base!"
"Remember, be as covert as possible, and don't attract the attention of the native powerhouses..."
However, before he could finish speaking... "Buzz!"
An invisible pressure suddenly enveloped the entire canyon!
That pressure was cold, sacred, and vast as the sea, as if the Ice and Snow Law of the entire world had awakened at this moment, casting a scrutinizing gaze upon this place!
"What?"
Black Emperor's expression drastically changed, and he suddenly looked up.
He saw a figure appear on the summit of a nearby glacier, seemingly out of nowhere.
It was a woman with silver hair like snow and an absolutely beautiful face, dressed in an ice-blue long dress, holding a crystal-clear, magnificent scepter, staring coldly at them.
What made Black Emperor most apprehensive was this!
Although the woman was clearly standing there, she seemed to be completely merged with the ice and snow of the entire Far North.
Her aura was unfathomable; even he felt a trembling deep within his Soul!
"Which powerhouse of the Douluo Continent is this person?"
Black Emperor's face became extremely ugly.
Their luck was simply too poor!
They had encountered one of the top powerhouses of this plane immediately upon arrival!
Snow Empress stood on the summit of the glacier, her ice-blue eyes sweeping over the bizarre, evil-aura-emitting creatures below, her brow slightly furrowed.
"Hmm?"
The power of these beings... was completely different from the Soul Power system of the Douluo Continent—more violent, more chaotic, and more... evil.
Moreover, the dark black energy emanating from them was corroding the glaciers and ecology of the Far North.
"Could the inter-plane invasion warned about by the heavenly curtain earlier..."
Snow Empress understood in her heart, "Is it them?"
She slowly spoke, her voice clear and cold like ice.
"Who are you? Why have you descended upon the Far North?"
Thoughts raced in Black Emperor's mind, and he forced a smile, bowing: "Esteemed Senior, we are travelers lost in this region, having accidentally arrived here with no ill intentions."
"We will leave immediately. Please forgive us, Senior."
As he spoke, he subtly signaled to his subordinates, indicating they should prepare to retreat.
However, Snow Empress's next sentence caused his heart to sink completely.
"Lost travelers?"
A cold curve appeared at Snow Empress's lips, "Then why is the power you possess completely different from the Cultivation system of the Douluo Continent?"
"Why, the moment you appeared, did you start frantically devouring the energy of this place?"
"Why... are you radiating such a dense aura of invaders?"
Black Emperor's expression changed; he knew he couldn't fool her.
A fierce look flashed in his eyes. Since they were discovered, then... "Attack! Deal with her first!"
Black Emperor roared, and the black longsword in his hand instantly erupted with dark purple Sword Qi.
His figure moved like lightning, charging straight toward Snow Empress!
The hundreds of Abyssal creatures behind him also roared and rushed toward Snow Empress from all directions!
