Douluo Continent: The Eye of Truth

Chapter 190 The Despair of the Abyss Saint

Just as the Abyss Saint King was in a state of utter distress, Huo Yuhao and Gu Yuena appeared in the Abyss Plane.

The moment they entered, the Abyss Saint King, as the ruler of the Abyss Plane, was naturally able to sense their presence.

At the same time, he also realized the culprit that had put him in such a predicament.

However, at this moment, the Heavenly Saint Rift Halberd in his hand had lost most of its power.

It is a supreme artifact, and it represents the sovereignty of the Abyss Plane.

Within the Abyss Plane, the Heavenly Saint Rift Halberd can unleash its most formidable combat power, even surpassing ordinary divine artifacts.

However, without the blessing of the Abyss Plane itself, the Heavenly Saint Rift Halberd would only be a slightly inferior super artifact.

After sensing Huo Yuhao's unfathomable aura and Gu Yuena's first-level god-like strength, the Abyss Saint King knew that he was in deep trouble.

Although as the master of a plane, he could achieve the status of a god-king if the plane were to be upgraded, even if the abyss plane did not evolve.

He, the Abyss Saint King, was a super-god-level powerhouse comparable to a first-level deity, but his strength was ultimately limited by the plane itself.

Its energy level is not strong enough; compared to Gu Yuena, who now truly possesses the strength of a first-level deity, it is still quite weak.

This is the real reason why he set his sights on the Douluo Continent; he wanted to use it to help his Abyss Continent take a new step forward.

However, at this moment, the Abyss Saint King was somewhat outwardly fierce but inwardly restrained, because he could sense that most of the Abyss Plane had been completely paralyzed.

The 108th Abyss Plane, excluding the 10th Abyss Plane he had previously abandoned.

The remaining 98 floors are also collapsing rapidly because Huo Yuhao tampered with the energy pillars that maintain the existence of these planes.

This series of chain reactions led to the Abyss Plane entering its weakest moment.

Therefore, it was precisely because of this that the Abyss Saint King had some thoughts of backing down at this moment.

As the ruler of the Abyss Plane, he is now completely unable to control the Abyss Plane itself to exert pressure on these two outsiders.

Given the disparity in strength between the two sides, if a battle were to actually take place, his defeat would be inevitable, and it would only be a matter of time before he was defeated.

Thinking of this, the Abyss Saint King spoke first, saying, "You two must be the ones who led the invasion of my Abyss Plane."

"One-tenth of my Abyss Plane's origin has been plundered by the two of them, and now the plane has collapsed, resulting in heavy losses."

"I'm truly impressed by your ability to track me all the way here."

"Conquering a plane would come at a heavy price, even for the two of you with your combined strength."

"Therefore, you two have already received quite a few benefits, so why not listen to my advice?"

"My Abyss Plane is willing to submit here and become a subordinate plane of the two planets, regularly offering them the power of origin."

"Let's call a truce here. Isn't this a better way to prolong the conflict than to fight to the death?"

The current Abyss Saint King is also helpless. If a reconciliation can be reached by ceding some interests, it is within his acceptable range.

Huo Yuhao smiled slightly and said, "The fish may die, but the net may not break. You must be envious of our Douluo Xingye."

"We're all sensible people, so let's not hide anything. Since we're all eyeing each other, and you've made a mistake in your strategy."

"Now that defeat is inevitable, why struggle and make futile resistance?"

Although Gu Yuena didn't speak, the Abyss Saint King could tell that Huo Yuhao and Gu Yuena weren't going to let him go.

Since that's the case, he stopped pretending: "Hmph, then let me see what you're capable of. Even if my Abyss Plane is shattered, you won't have an easy time!"

However, just as he was about to speak, the Abyss Saint King suddenly sensed something was wrong, as if he had lost contact with the Abyss Plane.

But how could this be? He is the Lord of the Abyss Plane!

"What have you done?" the Abyss Saint asked, somewhat horrified.

Moreover, although the surrounding space still resembles the Abyss Plane, the elemental structure that constitutes the main body has long been replaced by the energy of the Undead Plane.

After all, the Abyss Plane was plunged into great turmoil and collapse after the energy of the Necropolis was drained away.

Huo Yuhao then used the Eye of Truth to mobilize the energy of these undead planes to besiege the Abyss Saint King.

At this moment, under Huo Yuhao's control, the energy of these undead planes combined with the Realm of Truth, transforming into a small world that enveloped the Abyss Saint King.

Under the suppression of completely different laws, the Abyss Saint King, as the master of the Abyss Plane, naturally could not perceive the existence of the Abyss Plane outside.

This small world also effectively prevents the Abyss Saint from escaping through the shattered space.

Seeing Huo Yuhao manifest a small world, encompassing himself and Gu Yuena within it, the Abyss Saint King knew that at this moment, he had no choice but to go all out.

Seeing the other party's posture, Gu Yuena's eyes revealed a slight disdain.

At this moment, she had already seen through Huo Yuhao's plan and naturally knew that what the Abyss Saint King had done could only be in vain.

"Hmph! Die!" The Abyss Saint King roared, and his true form, which he no longer concealed, suddenly grew larger, as if reaching the heavens and the earth.

At the same time, he exuded a terrifying abyssal energy aura and brandished the Heavenly Saint Rift Halberd, attacking Huo Yuhao and Gu Yuena.

This is the true form of the Abyss Saint King. His human form when he met Huo Yuhao before was simply a reference to the images of Huo Yuhao and Gu Yuena.

At the same time, it was also a test of the enemy's weakness, concealing one's presence in preparation for the final showdown.

The aura emanating from the Abyss Saint King possessed an incredibly terrifying corrosive power.

This is the essence of abyssal energy: it erodes and devours everything in its path, even the primal forces of other planes are its prey.

However, the Abyss Saint King's attack, which was intended as a sneak attack, failed to land.

This greatly shocked the Abyss Saint King, who knew that he had just attacked with all his might, and had already used his own energy and the aura of the Heavenly Saint Abyss Split Halberd to subdue the enemy.

The fact that Huo Yuhao's existence was forcibly locked in, and that Gu Yuena was included was merely a feint.

After all, compared to Gu Yuena, who possesses the genuine aura of a first-level god, Huo Yuhao, whose aura is undetectable, might be the breakthrough point.

Moreover, he had just realized that he had indeed locked onto Huo Yuhao, and the Heavenly Saint Rift Halberd even possessed the ability to ignore defenses.

If that's the case, how did Huo Yuhao escape?

However, Huo Yuhao and Gu Yuena naturally wouldn't waste time explaining things to him.

With a flash of seven-colored light, Gu Yuena dodged the sharp edge of the Heavenly Saint Rift Halberd, while simultaneously releasing a large amount of elemental energy that surrounded the Abyss Saint King.

Although Huo Yuhao's Domain of Truth allows him to forcibly control the energy within it, he can also choose not to control that energy.

This allows Gu Yue Na to engage in normal combat and output, and as a first-level deity, Gu Yue Na can now draw upon extremely terrifying elemental energy.

As a half-body of the Dragon God, she is considered one of the top beings among the first-level deities.

Take the seven elemental gods among the first-level gods as an example. Although Gu Yuena's strength is also that of a first-level god, it is enough to be compared with the combined strength of the seven gods.

This demonstrates just how terrifying Gu Yuena's strength is; this power is almost overwhelming compared to the Abyss Saint King, whose strength and realm are not yet fully developed.

However, the Abyss Saint King's foundation is still intact, and with the super artifact Heavenly Saint Rift Halberd in his hand, Gu Yuena cannot easily kill him in a short period of time.

However, at this moment, the terrifying elemental power that surged in had completely suppressed the Abyss Saint, and this battle could almost be considered a one-woman show by Gu Yuena.

Because at this moment, Gu Yuena was also holding a super artifact, a dragon-type magic sword that emitted seven-colored light, which amplified the elemental power that Gu Yuena was using.

Although the fundamental purpose of the Dragon Clan's magic sword is to judge and punish those who are wronged, it also contains the powerful energy of the Dragon God.

After mastering the core of the Dragon God, Gu Yuena can mobilize it to some extent, and it is naturally not a problem for her to obtain some of the essence of the Dragon God's power to amplify her own elemental energy.

Under Gu Yuena's probing, the Abyss Saint King's body was already bruised and covered in wounds.

However, this was not due to Gu Yuena's single strike, because the Abyss Saint King was wielding the Heavenly Saint Rift Halberd with extreme force.

It was as if the surrounding world was constantly suppressing him, which made the Abyss Saint King feel increasingly strained.

Each of his strikes must be more powerful than the previous one, otherwise he will not achieve the desired effect.

It was precisely because of these repeated misjudgments that the Abyss Saint King was left with numerous wounds, which was naturally Huo Yuhao's doing.

By combining the energy of the Realm of Truth and the Plane of the Dead, Gu Yuena's offensive can suppress the actions of the Abyss Saint.

At this moment, the Abyss Saint King seemed to have gone mad, wildly wielding the Heavenly Saint Abyss Splitting Halberd, no longer caring about the loss of divine power.

This strategy successfully created an opening in the elemental wave stirred up by Gu Yuena.

However, Gu Yuena's eyes remained completely unmoved as she watched the other person struggle.

In her view, the Abyss Saint King's struggle was truly laughable; at this moment, every attack the Abyss Emperor made was depleting his own reserves.

Furthermore, within the small world constructed by combining the Realm of Truth with the Plane of the Dead, the Abyss Saint King cannot obtain any replenishment of energy from the Abyss Plane.

This is why the Abyss Saint King is bringing himself one step closer to death every time he expends his resources.

However, Huo Yuhao still did not appear at this time, but only interfered with Gu Yuena's attack by using the Realm of Truth.

Even so, the offensive from the Realm of Truth and Gu Yuena is putting increasing pressure on the Abyss Saint, whose foundation is becoming increasingly weak.

Gu Yuena also understood why Huo Yuhao had made so many arrangements before; it was all to weaken the power of the Abyss Saint King at this moment.

This would prevent both Huo Yuhao and himself from suffering excessive losses in the battle against the Abyss Saint King.

Ultimately, the Abyss Saint King himself was not their most important target, but rather the enemy that Huo Yuhao and Gu Yuena needed to deal with.

Ultimately, it all comes down to the possibility of a God-King and other deities descending from the divine realm. To deal with them, it's natural to conserve more power.

This is to prevent being caught off guard by the gods who arrive from the divine realm after successfully annexing the abyss plane.

Although the battle is fierce, Gu Yuena has not suffered much damage. If she were to truly clash head-on with the Abyss Saint, a being from the Abyss Plane...

Even Gu Yuena herself could clearly realize that, just as the Abyss Saint King had said before, the worst outcome would probably be mutual destruction and a lose-lose situation.

While Gu Yuena was pondering, the Abyss Saint King no longer held back and burned his own source power!

The terrifying abyssal energy transformed into a powerful aura that surged forth, and thirty percent of the primal power within his body was completely burned and sublimated.

Concentrated on the Heavenly Saint Rift Halberd, this attack was a matter of life and death. The Abyss Saint King knew that if he did not leave this place, death would surely be his fate.

The power of the Heavenly Saint Rift Halberd was fully unleashed, and this super artifact seemed to be groaning in pain.

The burning of the Abyss Saint King's three-fold primal power has reached the limit that this super artifact can withstand.

Even Gu Yuena had to manifest the Silver Dragon King's true form to retreat from this powerful attack.

However, the Abyss Saint King's true purpose was not to attack Gu Yuena, but to attack the small world he was in.

This extraordinary and powerful strike shattered the small world that had been troubling the Abyss Saint King.

Upon seeing this, the Abyss Saint King revealed a hint of joy and quickly broke through space to escape to the Abyss Plane.

If he successfully returns to the Abyss Plane, with his status as the plane's master, he could risk the complete collapse of the Abyss Plane.

It consumes all of its primal power, but the Abyss Saint King can also use it to restore his own foundation and primal power, and can choose to continue fighting or escape.

However, when Yuan Shengjun fled to the Abyss Plane, he discovered a despairing situation: the Abyss Plane was on the verge of complete collapse.

Even without the ruler of the plane to lead the way, Huo Yuhao managed to multitask, simultaneously using the Realm of Truth to cooperate with Gu Yuena in besieging the Abyss Saint King.

On the other hand, they went directly into the Abyss Plane to destroy it and plunder its primordial power.

At this moment, Huo Yuhao had drained the primordial power of the Abyss Plane.

"No! No! No!" the Abyss Saint King roared in despair.

Because at this moment, Gu Yuena also emerged from the broken small world and joined Huo Yuhao in besieging the Abyss Saint King, who was now at his last gasp.

As Huo Yuhao secretly took away the power of the plane's origin, large swathes of the collapsing abyss plane lost their means of existence and fell into the endless void.

Seeing this scene, the Abyss Saint King's face showed despair. He had painstakingly nurtured it for countless years to create the powerful state of the Abyss Plane it is today.

However, after a single failure, he lost everything, including all his savings, and his last hope was also dashed. How could he not feel despair?

He had only one question he didn't know: why was Huo Yuhao able to plunder all the primal power of the Abyss Plane in such a short time?
