Douluo Continent: Peerless Angel Qian Renxue

Chapter 448 Tang San Has Gone Mad

In the past few days, Qian Renxue has also been trying to find out the origin of this Second Elder. A level 97 Super Douluo doesn't seem like something a rogue cultivator could easily achieve.

And she doesn't look that old.

Ning Shu's background is very special. When Qian Renxue heard this name, her first reaction was whether she came from the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School.

But she said that wasn't entirely true.

Besides the sects and forces that are publicly known, there are also some hidden families on this continent. She comes from a clan with the surname Ning. Ten thousand years ago, this clan was a branch of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School. However, due to a chance encounter, a genius with twin martial souls emerged.

Later, the descendants of this twin martial soul inherited the Nine-Bell Phantom Martial Soul. This is also a treasure-type martial soul, which is why many rare metal deposits could be found during previous explorations.

Qian Renxue nodded. There were indeed many hidden families. Then she asked Ning Shu if she knew of any other hidden families.

Ning Shu gave a random answer, which left Qian Renxue completely bewildered.

The Cuan family.

Finally, Ning Shu used her soul fluctuations to demonstrate to Qian Renxue how to write the surname.

Thanks to Ning Shu's extraordinary ability to detect and perceive, and Qian Renxue's continuous summarization and deduction over the past few days, they finally found a very special location that they had not been able to detect before, because this place seemed to be shrouded in a sea-blue energy.

Even on several previous occasions when their reconnaissance passed through this area, they didn't find anything!

"This power is..."

Qian Renxue focused her attention slightly, seemingly realizing the source of this coming and going, which was similar to an ability of her opponent, Tang San. It was a protective ability of the Vast Ocean Universe Cover!

This ability is incredibly powerful. If people are isolated inside, no one outside can detect what they say or even what they do.

"Your Highness, what should we do?" Ning Shu asked hesitantly.

"Don't rush, let me give it a try," Qian Renxue said after thinking for a moment.

Then, she carefully extended her mental energy forward and gently touched the sea-blue thing.

"Ugh—"

At the same time, the Sea God Douluo in the Sea God Valley suddenly felt as if his helmet had been tightened.

"What's going on?" Sensing the unusual behavior of the Sea God Douluo, the Sea Ghost Douluo quickly stepped forward to ask.

"I don't know. This helmet was a divine artifact personally crafted by the Sea God Tang San. Only our Sea God Douluo family can inherit it, granting it a certain degree of ability to communicate with the sea..." Sea God Douluo Chen Haoming covered his head. "But, just a moment ago, it seemed like something stimulated it."

"It's like I secretly learned a bit of the Sun Moon Empire's soul-guiding technology and put a curse on the helmets of some of the enemy soldiers?" Sea Ghost Douluo frowned. "Just like the Helmet Curse."

Suddenly, Chen Haoming seemed to realize something: "Impossible, this is absolutely impossible!"

Sea Ghost Douluo was stunned. Why did the Sea God suddenly act like he had taken a kicking pill?

The artifact Tang San bestowed upon them was not merely an enhancement of combat power, but also a constraint. It bound the Sea God Douluo lineage to the seal he had placed on the spatial rift, much like the Tightening Helmet Curse that Sea Ghost Douluo had just mentioned.

Because Tang San himself knew that he couldn't keep an eye on the lower realm forever, this task fell to the Sea God Douluo family. This constraint would continue until the seal was broken by the energy of the abyss plane he envisioned.

Before that, the Sea God Douluo needed to stay here, guarding the seal while using the Sea God statue he left behind to spread his mental power towards the Sun Moon Empire, and also cooperate with the sea spirit beasts to take over the Arctic ice sea.

"Could it be that the seal has been discovered?" Chen Haoming wondered to himself. "That's unlikely. That spatial seal is hidden deep underground, and it's protected by the Sea God's layer of protection."...

Just as Chen Haoming sensed something was wrong, Qian Renxue was astonished to discover that her and Ning Shu's spiritual power was being frantically devoured.

"Retreat!" Qian Renxue didn't care about anything else and directly used her divine sense to forcefully shake off the devouring power.

"That was close..." she whispered, then quickly helped the second elder up.

There are tiny holes on the ground, which are naturally formed in the earth and soil. They are so tiny that ordinary people, or even ordinary soul masters, cannot see them. Only the mental and sonic probing they are using can penetrate them.

"That azure energy just now, it really seemed to contain something inside," Ning Shu said, closing her eyes to bring herself back to reality.

"That's probably the tiny spatial rift we mentioned before," Qian Renxue said in a low voice. "That azure energy fluctuation is not from an ordinary seal at all; it's even stronger than the spatial power at the edge of our sect's headquarters."

Qian Renxue was referring to the spatial barrier surrounding the Holy Spirit Cult headquarters, which, with the help of the Evil Eye Clan, had formed a unique disguise.

Qian Renxue now knows about the spatial protection of the Holy Spirit Headquarters. It was set up by Elder Lin Mengtong. Unless they really know the location, they really can't find it based on Shrek Academy. Even a Soul Master with spiritual power reaching the Spirit Domain Realm can't find it while wandering in the Demon Forest.

At this moment, the feeling of the seal was even stronger for her.

"Buzz—"

Just then, a faint energy fluctuation emanated from the excavated lake surface, catching their attention.

"Is this... the life force has been activated?" Qian Renxue frowned.

At this moment, the lake water seemed to begin to boil, and the originally calm lake surface began to ripple.

Qian Renxue released her mental probe over there, and found that this smaller version of the Lake of Life also contained evergreen vines, which nourished the surrounding land within a five-kilometer radius, though the impact was less than that of the Star Dou Forest.

As soon as her spiritual energy entered the Lake of Life, Qian Renxue felt refreshed and invigorated. She then discovered that at the bottom of the lake, something resembling a plant had quietly shattered, as if turned into dust. Then, plumes of dust seeped into the soil at the bottom of the lake.

"Hmm?" She couldn't help but think of something.

Since the Sea God can use something similar to divine power to envelop that spatial rift, what is the source of this divine power? It can't be that Tang San comes down every hundred years, can it?

"Could it be that these vanished life energies were drawn away by that energy?" Qian Renxue pondered. "But if that's the case, if they leaked out during absorption, wouldn't they flow into the starry sky, or even to a place very, very far away from our Douluo plane...?"

Suddenly, her expression changed, as if she had realized something: "Has Tang San lost his mind?!"

"Does the Holy Lord still remember the scene when your plane discovered Douluo Star? Did you sense the existence of Douluo Continent because you touched a cosmic restriction, a broken and vanished god realm?"

……

Tang San said, "Therefore, I prepared this plan ten thousand years ago. What I was waiting for was for the Holy Monarch to disregard everything and transfer all the primordial power of the Abyss Plane over. Tang San thanks you in advance."

The above is from chapters 1936-1937 of Douluo Continent III. The Abyss Plane sensed that the energy leaking from Douluo Star was not just from Douluo itself, but also from a restriction similar to a "mechanical gate". Therefore, digging open Hansong Cliff at this time does not mean that it will directly bring the Abyss Plane over. The Abyss Plane is not uncommon in the universe, but it will take more than three thousand years to find one.
