Douluo: Legend of the Dragon King - The Voice of the Purple Emperor

"No matter how strong an individual's power is, how can they possibly contend with a plane? That power is infinitely close to that of a god, the very foundation of the Abyss Plane's existence. The Seed of the Plane will take me back to the Abyss, and I will surely return soon."

Seeds of Dimensions? Even though he had dealt with abyssal creatures for so many years, this was the first time that the Ruthless Douluo Cao Dezhi had ever heard of the existence of such things as Seeds of Dimensions.

Moreover, he clearly felt that his spatial blockade and Zhang Huanyun's domain were actually losing control of the guy in front of him.

A chill ran down Cao Dezhi's spine. He realized he had been too naive. These 108 Abyss Kings weren't something that could be dealt with simply by possessing the energy to devour them. If even these were relatively low-ranking kings, and he couldn't handle them, then the powerful Abyss Kings would undoubtedly be even more difficult to control. And now, the main abyss passage had inexplicably been opened, which made things much more complicated.

Just as Cao Dezhi was frowning, a strange change suddenly occurred in Gu You's body.

Eight spirit rings rose from beneath his feet: three red, one green, three orange-gold, and one crimson-gold. The fourth spirit ring, a green-gold one, suddenly shone brightly, followed by a beam of emerald light shooting out from between Gu You's eyebrows.

Cao Dezhi was surprised to see a green pattern resembling a small sapling appear on Gu You's forehead, from which the green light was emanating.

The green light landed directly on the Six-Clawed Demon Emperor's chest, and a bizarre scene unfolded. The Six-Clawed Demon Emperor's chest seemed to melt, and a hole was torn open. Then, the green light materialized, turning into a branch covered with emerald green leaves, and suddenly burrowed into the Six-Clawed Demon Emperor's chest.

The Six-Clawed Demon Emperor's maniacal laughter abruptly ceased. "What? What the hell is this thing? Ah—" A deafening scream rang out, causing the entire domain to distort violently. However, inside its chest, a distinct green light was shining.

At this very moment, Gu You sensed the joyous jubilation emanating from the Tree of Life deep within his spirit.

The energy absorbed by the Golden Dragon Spear had noticeably weakened, but the life force emanating from the Tree of Life was exceptionally strong, covering every corner of Gu You's body, making him clearly feel that every cell in his body was cheering with joy.

The six-clawed demon roared furiously and struggled desperately. However, the slender vines that shot out from Gu You's forehead, no thicker than a little finger, took firm root inside its chest, turning its chest a vibrant green.

The Seed of Dimensions versus the Seed of Life? Haha, that's really interesting.

Cao Dezhi smiled and shook his head; he knew the plan had succeeded.

A powerful heartbeat emanated from the dragon core, and Gu You felt his blood and energy were more vigorous than ever before. Especially under the nourishment of that rich life energy, he had no need to worry about his body being unable to withstand it. The dragon core was clearly growing larger little by little, and through the transformation of life energy, the number of facets on its soul core was also rapidly increasing, which was undoubtedly a sign of soul core evolution.

The two energy cores greedily absorbed the energy from the Six-Clawed Demon Emperor. The Seed of Life on his forehead absorbed the most.

Suddenly, the Six-Clawed Demon Emperor's body shuddered violently, then went limp and collapsed. The branch that shot out from Gu You's forehead abruptly retracted, its very tip wrapped around a dark purple oval crystal. This crystal flickered with light, yet the branch of the Seed of Life took root in it, as if roots were piercing into it. Layers of green light surged rapidly along the branch into Gu You's forehead, and the surging life energy was all absorbed into the Tree of Life.

Gu You slowly opened his eyes. His soul power had reached the peak of level 86, just one step away from breaking through to level 87.

That's incredibly fast; breaking through a level in just a few days.

"Senior Blood One, there should be more abyssal creatures like that, right?"

Cao Dezhi smiled slightly. "Yes, of course there are, quite a few. If the Seed of Life had just devoured the core of a plane, then the Abyss Plane might be in trouble."

……

"Boom! Boom!"

The earth collapsed, lava flowed, and the ninety-seventh layer of the Abyss Plane completely collapsed. Countless abyssal creatures from the ninety-seventh layer turned into dust during the collapse, causing the entire Abyss Plane to tremble violently.

The disappearance of the Seed of the Plane meant that this layer of the Abyss lost its source of existence. All the Abyssal energy began to dissipate and spread to other Abyssal layers. The Abyssal creatures, such as the Four-Clawed Bats and the Six-Clawed Bats, which originally relied on the Ninety-Seventh Layer for survival, rapidly disintegrated and turned into Abyssal energy as the plane collapsed, scattering in all directions.

"What's going on? What's going on on the ninety-seventh floor?" The furious roar echoed throughout the abyss.

Enormous and terrifying figures appeared one after another in the depths of the abyss, their eyes filled with shock and rage.

"The 97th floor has collapsed. How is this possible?" The Abyss Kings closest to the 97th floor felt it most deeply. When one floor collapses, it is a disaster for the entire Abyss. The adjacent floors are affected, and a large number of Abyss creatures die. Although the energy will not be lost and Abyss creatures can be regenerated, this situation has never occurred since the existence of the 108th floor of the Abyss.

"The Six-Clawed Demon Emperor is in trouble. It seems he died in the human world, and even the Seed of the Plane appears to have been destroyed."

"What? When did humanity acquire the power to destroy the Seed of a Plane? That's impossible. That's the purest power of a plane. Unless they can mobilize the primordial power of their own plane, it's not possible."

"It seems we have to change our plans, or even move them forward. Have humans become so powerful? They can actively enter our world through the Abyss Passage. If they extend their reach to us, we'll be in trouble."

"Enough!" A deep, chilling voice suddenly rang out, instantly silencing the noisy discussion.

In the depths of darkness, a huge vertical pupil slowly lit up. It was a blood-red eye. If you looked closely, you would find that this eye was made up of countless tiny red eyes. If someone with trypophobia saw it, they would probably immediately have a full-body spasm.

When that eye opened, the entire Abyss Plane...
