Douluo Jueshi: I Don't Want to Be an Evil Soul Master

Chapter 475 The Abyss Finally Arrives
As he spoke, Lin Xiao glanced out of the crowd, and soon several soldiers appeared on the arena carrying a huge soul-guided cage.

Inside was a creature entirely black, neither sheep nor horse. Everyone present was well-traveled and had seen many kinds of animal spirit beasts, but for a moment they couldn't tell what was in the cage.

Not only that, the soldiers on the arena did not stop there. Soon, several more cages were brought in front of everyone. At a glance, there were as many as five or six cages. Some of the cages even contained more than one of those strange creatures.

They look completely different, but they all share the same aura.

The cage was placed steadily in the center of the arena, and the several dark creatures inside were restless and emitting a low hissing sound.

A murmur gradually rose from the surroundings, and everyone's eyes were focused on the creatures, trying to identify what they were and pondering Lin Xiao's intention in showing them these things.

Lin Xiao felt the many questioning gazes around him, but he didn't say much. He simply raised his hand and pointed, and a creature in the cell fell to the ground. In the next instant, all the power in its body completely disappeared into the world.

Unlike other spirit beasts that leave behind spirit rings, it left no trace whatsoever. If it hadn't just been right in front of everyone, it would have seemed as if it had never existed at all.

The whispers gradually subsided, and the arena fell silent for a moment. Even some Soul Masters who hadn't seen many Soul Beasts noticed something was amiss.

The creatures in the cage were not the soul beasts they knew.

"Everyone," Lin Xiao's voice wasn't loud, but it clearly reached everyone's ears, drowning out the eerie roar from the cage.

"Everyone here is a person of extraordinary cultivation, either a sect leader or an academy elder. Does anyone know what these things are?"

The audience fell silent; no one could answer.

Lin Xiao looked around but did not give a direct answer.

"The war on the mainland has been over for a long time, and the people are recuperating and living in peace and contentment. You are also able to exchange ideas and learn from each other. It is just a pity that there are still threats outside this world that make us unable to feel at ease."

As he spoke, Lin Xiao raised his hand and pointed to the cage beside him, “As you all have just seen, they do not have any characteristics of soul beasts, because they do not belong to this continent beneath our feet, or even... to any part of this world.”

“They come from outside the world, they are different from us, different from soul beasts, they only have an endless desire for destruction and devouring.”

Lin Xiao paused slightly as he observed the changing expressions on everyone's faces, allowing them to gradually accept this news that was initially hard to believe.

He knew better than anyone that the Demon Emperor's failure years ago would not prevent the arrival of the Abyss Plane, but would only slightly delay its arrival.

Now, more and more abyssal demons are appearing on Douluo Continent, and the disciples of the Tongming Sect alone are no longer able to deal with them in time. It is time to inform others of this news.

One day, the threat of the Abyss Plane will appear over everyone's head, and to stop the Abyss Plane, the power of all Soul Masters in the entire Douluo Continent will be needed.

"I call this creature an abyssal monster."

Seeing that everyone's expressions had calmed down, Lin Xiao spoke softly again, "In fact, the Abyss Demons appeared on the Douluo Continent several years ago, initially spreading only in the far north."

"Our Tongming Sect disciples did their utmost to keep these demons at bay in the far north, which is why they haven't appeared in other parts of the continent..."

Over the years, Lin Xiao's strength has attracted considerable attention, and his past and the origins of the Tongming Sect have also become more widely known. Many people are aware that the Tongming Sect, to which Lin Xiao belongs, was a group of evil soul masters who gathered and settled after the disappearance of the Holy Spirit Sect.

Initially, many people had reservations about the Tongming Sect, but due to Lin Xiao's strength and the connection between the Tongming Sect and the Sun Moon Empire, they ultimately did not voice their opinions openly.

But upon hearing that the Tongming Sect was doing such things in secret, they were at a loss for words, seemingly forgetting even their original identities as evil spirit masters.

Lin Xiao never concealed the origins of the Tongming Sect. No matter which disciple in the sect wanted to break free from their original identity as an evil soul master, it was not something that could be done simply by not mentioning it. If they wanted to become a certain kind of person, they had to achieve it themselves.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the war on the continent has ended, but another, even more brutal war is drawing ever closer. From this day forward, the Soul Guidance Trains traveling from all parts of the Empire to the far north will be free of charge."

"Whether you want to verify the authenticity of this matter or personally meet the monsters from another world, the Sun and Moon Empire will provide the greatest assistance."

"I only hope that everyone here, as top experts on the mainland, can understand the threat from another world and become the mainstay in resisting invasion and protecting the mainland in the future."

After Lin Xiao finished speaking, the surroundings remained unsettled for a long time, which was within Lin Xiao's expectations.

After all, no matter who it is, if someone suddenly told him that his world was not safe and that there was a group of invaders eyeing him from beyond, that person probably wouldn't believe it.

Even if the person who told this news was the Calamity Douluo, the strongest soul master in the mainland.

Regardless of everyone's reaction, the invasion of the Abyss has indeed arrived.

Their arrival was much earlier than Lin Xiao remembered, and in a different way, but they still descended upon the Douluo Continent.

Even faster than the others were the Sun Moon Empire's army. Amidst the doubts of the crowd, the soul tools researched and produced by Mingde Hall were used to equip several more soul master regiments. By this time, they had been preparing for a long time and were ready to head to the far north.

The titled Douluo no longer had the mood to continue the competition, and the surrounding audience gradually dispersed. This year's peak battle ended somewhat abruptly, and everyone left with different thoughts.

Inside the palace, Ju Zi stroked the fiery red armor, but had no intention of wearing it; she simply sighed softly.

"The Imperial Preceptor and the people from Mingde Hall have already set off?"

"Your Majesty, the Imperial Preceptor announced the news of the Abyss Plane during the Battle of the Summit, and went to the headquarters of the Tongming Sect before the other experts could respond."

"The Mingde Hall Master Hongchen has also made preparations, and the first batch of Soul Master Legion has already boarded the Soul Guidance Train to head to the far north."

"I understand."

Since the war on the continent, the Douluo Continent, which had been free of war for a long time, has finally ushered in war once again.

Although the Sun Moon Empire unified the Douluo Continent through war, everyone knows that war is never a good thing.
