Douluo Continent: The Eye of Truth

Chapter 189 Trying to Escape but Unable to Escape

As a large number of abyssal creatures gradually poured into the battlefield plane, the abyssal plane itself became increasingly empty and weak.

This will naturally not cause any impact in the short term, but such a situation will not last long.

Several Abyss Kings who had not yet left the arena, along with the Abyss Saint King who was still struggling against external pressure, also sensed something was amiss.

"What's going on? Are the first thirty-six levels of the abyss almost empty?"

The Wise Emperor, being the most intelligent of the abyssal creatures, was the first to sense that something was wrong.

Although several Abyss Kings who have reached the level of quasi-gods have already entered the battlefield plane to fight.

However, as the strategist, he remained in the Abyss Plane along with several other Abyss Kings to coordinate the actions and mobilization of the Abyss creatures.

One of the Abyss Kings, who was left behind because of his low combat strength but high intelligence, also quickly spoke up.

"In the thirty-six layers of the abyss plane that I oversee, the rate of birth of abyssal creature populations has also greatly decreased."

Another Abyss King, who was in charge of coordinating the latter thirty-six layers of the Abyss Plane, shook his head.

"Nothing unusual has appeared in the last thirty-six levels yet, but that may be because we just sent out the abyssal creatures."

Emperor Zhi frowned and said, "Everyone, get ready. Once the trend from the first thirty-six levels spreads to the middle thirty-six levels..."

"Stop adding more troops and stop ordering any more abyssal creatures into it."

"What about the other great beings who entered that unknown dimension, Lord Wise Emperor?"

"One side of the Abyss King asked hesitantly."

Emperor Zhi merely glanced at it coldly: "Since His Majesty the Holy Ruler has already appointed me as the commander-in-chief of this campaign..."

"Then you'd better obey my orders obediently, or don't blame me for being impolite."

"Continue with the previous plan!"

At this moment, the Abyss Saint King was also puzzled, as he sensed that the Abyss Plane seemed to be constantly weakening.

However, each wave of attacks launched by Huo Yuhao and Gu Yuena grew stronger.

The pressure he was under was also increasing.

Although he has gradually adapted to Huo Yuhao's offensive rhythm.

However, he lacked the energy to spare the time to investigate what changes had occurred within the Abyss Plane.

While the leaders of these abyssal creatures were still racking their brains trying to figure it out...

Huo Yuhao then began his next move, gathering the abyssal plane energy that he had collected using the methods he had employed on the outer layer of the battlefield plane.

He did not choose to directly absorb it, although a small portion of it was used by Huo Yuhao to help soldiers on the battlefield grow and break through.

Or they could revive the soldiers who died in battle, but most of them were preserved intact.

After all, such a small loss is nothing compared to the sheer number of abyssal creatures.

At this moment, Huo Yuhao was injecting energy from the undead plane into these abyssal energies.

As their own energy is continuously drained, these processes naturally affect the external appearance of the undead to some extent.

However, as a newly emerging complete dimension, it benefits from its potential and activity level.

Furthermore, with the laws of the Dragon Tomb demiplane gradually being integrated, the slight extraction of energy will not cause serious damage to the undead plane.

The energy from the undead planes that Huo Yuhao mixed into the abyss energy gradually changed its form under the control of the Eye of Truth.

At this time, Huo Yuhao still had plenty of energy left, so he intensified his attacks on the Abyss Plane itself to distract the Abyss Saint King.

While adding alien energy to the abyss energy, the Eye of Truth is used to disguise these alien energies as abyss energy.

Huo Yuhao then released the restriction that had been placed on the outer edge of the battlefield plane, preventing the abyssal energy from returning.

Under Huo Yuhao's will, he controlled the abyssal energy mixed with alien energy, and it flowed back into the abyssal plane at a certain speed.

At this moment, in the Abyss Plane.

Originally, a large amount of energy was transformed into abyssal creatures, and at the same time, they left the abyssal plane without sending back any news.

Therefore, some of the 108 unstable planes have stabilized again due to the return of abyssal energy.

"Your Majesty, the energy concentration in the first thirty-six layers of the Abyss has returned to normal!"

"Yes, I understand." Emperor Zhi nodded. He had a feeling that there was something wrong with the speed at which these abyssal energies were returning.

"Why does the abyss energy seem to be flowing back much faster? Is there something special about that plane?"

The Wise Emperor made a rough guess: there might be some problem with the spacetime rules of that plane itself.

Therefore, the return of abyssal energy is hindered, but if that's the only reason...

The balance of abyssal energy, which will eventually return to normal, should be maintained from now on.

This made him relax a little, and Emperor Zhi continued to issue orders.

"In that case, there's no need to worry too much. Let's continue with the previous plan."

"I want to see how long they can hold out against us!"

"yes!"

The abyssal energies that have returned have replaced the energies that originally constituted the abyssal plane.

The energy that constitutes the Abyss plane itself was once again extracted and began to create new Abyss creatures.

However, none of the Abyss Kings, including the Abyss Saint, knew this at the time.

The basic energy that forms the Abyss Plane has been partially replaced by the energy of the Undead Plane, which is disguised as Abyss energy.

These energies, acting as Huo Yuhao's tentacles, seeped deeply into the Abyss Plane under his control.

Its intrusion site is even more concealed than the part of the battlefield plane that infiltrates the abyss plane.

Previously, Huo Yuhao's Eye of Truth had already seen through the layers of structure of the Abyss Plane.

Although the amount of undead plane energy mixed into the abyss plane at this time is not much, it is far from enough to completely replace the foundation of a plane.

However, none of these alien energies were wasted; Huo Yuhao deployed them in every key node that constituted the structure of the abyss plane.

As the saying goes, a thousand-mile dike can be breached by an ant hole; these alien energies can be said to have a ripple effect on the whole situation.

However, Huo Yuhao's meticulous arrangements created a delicate balance between these alien energies and the abyssal energy that originally constituted the abyssal plane.

However, with each flow of abyssal energy and the entry of abyssal creatures into the battlefield plane,

Each such cycle brings the Abyss Plane one step closer to complete collapse and disintegration.

Although the energy of the Abyss Plane is no longer weak after the initial trough.

However, at this moment, the Abyss Saint King felt that something was gradually starting to go wrong.

His control over the energy of the abyss plane under his command seems to be weakening.

This made him increasingly powerless in dealing with Huo Yuhao and Gu Yuena's attacks.

Moreover, Huo Yuhao and Gu Yuena continued to increase the intensity of his training, adding to the pressure.

He now felt as if he had fallen into some kind of vicious cycle.

"Damn it, damn it, what methods did that guy who invaded my Abyss Dimension use?"

At this moment, the Abyss Saint King's frustration was beyond words.

It should be noted that he had just recently absorbed a small plane, which further boosted the growth of the Abyss Plane.

Moreover, it was because of this small dimension that he discovered the Douluo Dimension, which exists in the universe.

At the same time, it is a planet with a profound foundation, but it is constantly weakening, and there seem to be no strong beings on it.

If one could seize the primordial power of this plane, it would be far more powerful than annexing ten smaller planes!

Therefore, during this period, the Abyss Saint King was absorbing the power of the origin of the small plane that he had previously devoured.

They are still eyeing the existence of Douluo Star covetously and secretly plotting, and contacting those on Douluo Star who might be lured.

Although he hasn't succeeded yet, he's now about 80% certain.

At this moment, the one invading his abyss plane is none other than Douluo Star, which he regards as food.

The prey transformed into the hunter, and in turn began to hunt him down in this abyssal plane that called itself the hunter.

Now he has immense power but nowhere to use it, especially with the blessing of the Abyss Plane.

He, the Abyss Saint King, is a powerhouse comparable to a first-level god, and he also possesses the supreme artifact, the Heavenly Saint Rift Halberd.

The Abyss Saint King was confident that even if his opponent was also a first-level god, he would definitely be able to fight him.

In addition, given the Abyss dimension's characteristic of becoming stronger the more it fights, there's no reason for me to lose, especially not in such a frustrating way!

Indeed, at this moment, the Abyss Saint King had a vague realization that if he continued like this, failure was inevitable.

Now all we can do is make a tough decision and abandon the first ten layers of the abyss plane that have been deeply penetrated by the battlefield plane.

He severed nearly one-tenth of the plane's original power, then took the Abyss Plane into the void to avoid its sharp edge.

No matter how unwilling he was, the Abyss Saint King finally hardened his heart and made this decision.

At this moment, the Wise Emperor, who was still directing the abyssal creatures, received a message from the Abyssal Saint King.

"From this moment forward, cease sending any more abyssal creatures into the area to continue the fight!"

"After most of the original energy is recovered, the energy of the first ten abyss planes will be drawn away."

The voice of the Abyss Saint, filled with deep resentment and anger, echoed in the ears of the Wise Emperor.

At this moment, Emperor Zhi knew that the Abyss Saint King was probably in a bad mood, so he didn't dare to say anything and quickly agreed.

However, Emperor Zhi was somewhat troubled at this moment, because none of the Abyss Kings who had entered the battlefield plane had returned.

Unlike ordinary abyssal creatures, the existence of the Abyssal King is not solely due to abyssal energy.

More importantly, they inherently carry a portion of the primordial power of each layer of the abyss plane.

If these primal forces do not return, then the Abyss Plane will be unable to create a new Abyss King.

The most important reference to what the Abyss Saint King had said was these Abyss Kings.

However, at this time, the Abyss Plane could not directly contact those Abyss Kings.

Therefore, all the creatures of the abyss, including the Wise Emperor, understood that their chances of survival were slim.

It's just unknown when the primordial power of the abyss plane that exists within those abyss kings will return.

Time passed second by second.

At this point, almost all the abyssal creatures in the battlefield plane had been wiped out.

At this moment, Huo Yuhao also understood that the time had been almost right, and he could also see the Abyss Plane's intention to retreat.

"We can close the net now," Huo Yuhao said, squinting his eyes.

"Leave the task of leading the army back to Douluo Continent to me."

Gu Yuena disappeared from the spot according to the plan she and Huo Yuhao had previously agreed upon.

They went to escort the Douluo Council soldiers who were still in the battlefield plane back to the Douluo Continent.

Now that Gu Yuena's pressure had been lifted, the Abyss Saint King finally got a rare chance to catch his breath.

Huo Yuhao complied with the other party's wishes and released the Abyss Plane Origin Power that he had been controlling.

Watching these primal forces, carrying a large amount of the abyssal plane's laws, break through space and fly further and further away.

Huo Yuhao simply smiled and then began to control the speed at which the battlefield plane infiltrated.

This caused it to begin eroding deeper into the abyssal plane.

10th floor, 11th floor, 12th floor

At this moment, the Wise Emperor in the Abyss Plane's expression changed: "Not good, the enemy's offensive has changed. How is the return of the Abyss energy going?"

Several Abyss Kings hurriedly reported that 70% of the Abyss Origin Power had returned, and the Wise Emperor's expression softened slightly.

"In that case, we can't wait any longer. Compared to the abyssal power they carry, the plane's own dimensional power is more important."

With the cooperation of the Wise Emperor and several Abyss Kings, the outermost layers of the Abyss Plane gradually began to be peeled away.

The vast majority of the original power was diverted to other planes.

Taking this opportunity, the Abyss Saint King stopped resisting Huo Yuhao's attacks and instead focused more on controlling the Abyss Plane itself.

But he was still unwilling to accept defeat: "Hmph, Douluo Star, very good, very good!"

"You just wait, one day I will return!"

This premature death before achieving its goal has been a tragedy ever since it was separated from the Crimson Mother.

The Abyss Saint King, who had never suffered such a great loss before, remembered it deeply and secretly made a vow.

For the next tens of thousands of years, he clashed with Douluo Star, having already determined its spatial coordinates.

Furthermore, they left some contingency plans to mislead the native inhabitants of Douluo Star.

His defeat this time was due to Douluo Star's proactive sneak attack.

If the offensive and defensive strategies shift, he will secretly send abyssal creatures to harass them. He wants to see what other tricks Douluo Star has up its sleeve!

Just as the Abyss Plane finally separated from the Battlefield Plane after peeling away eighteen layers of planes.

The existence of alien energy in the Abyss Plane has finally reached a critical value.

The presence of foreign energy triggers a series of chain reactions.

It directly destroyed the structure of the Abyss Plane itself.

This also caused the Abyss Plane itself to fall into a state of near paralysis.

"What! How is this possible!" The Abyss Saint King was shocked.

But at this moment, he was helpless, let alone able to escape.

In this state, even those in the Abyss Plane who wanted to gamble on escaping into the void turbulence no longer had a chance.
