Douluo Continent: A Man of Unparalleled Talent and Heaven-Defying Comprehension

Chapter 236 Abyss Anomalies (Please Subscribe!!!)

Su Yu and Jing Hongchen discussed postwar reconstruction at length.

Back to topic.

Looking at the names on the list, Su Yu said to Jing Hongchen, "Hall Master, none of these students have broken through to Soul King yet. Tell them not to rush to break through and that they can stay in the Soul Sect for a while."

"Um?"

Jing Hongchen was very puzzled, wondering what Su Yu wanted to do, but he also felt that Su Yu wouldn't prevent these students from leveling up for no reason.

"What, is there some kind of cultivation technique involved?"

Su Yu shook his head.

"It's not a technique, it's just an opportunity that can only be obtained by those below the Soul King level, which is why I made them hold the level cap."

After hearing Su Yu's explanation, Jing Hongchen became even more confused.

Honestly, this was the first time in his life that Jing Hongchen had ever heard of an opportunity with level restrictions.

He could understand why the effect was worse at higher levels. For example, the effect of immortal herbs would be different for a level 94 Title Douluo like him compared to a level 30 student in their teens.

However, only those below the Soul King level can obtain it.

I, Jing Hongchen, am not some ignorant person, am I?

Seeing Jing Hongchen's puzzled expression, Su Yu gave a brief explanation.

"That is a small, independent space. Due to the stability of the space, only Soul Masters below the Soul King level can enter."

In fact, higher-level Soul Masters can also enter, but most Soul Masters lack sufficient control over their power and find it difficult to meet the standards.

Dragon Valley clearly operates according to its own rules. Saying that they cannot enter due to spatial instability is more accurate to say it is the mechanism of Dragon Valley itself.

Soul Masters who enter Dragon Valley have their soul power completely suppressed, and their martial souls cannot be released. This is the power of Dragon Valley that suppresses them.

Obviously, to achieve this, it's impossible that even a Soul King couldn't be accommodated.

It can only be said that Soul Masters above the Soul King level who enter Dragon Valley will be rejected by Dragon Valley and get lost in the spatial passage.

As for the teleportation limit of that spatial passage, Su Yu suspected it was also related to this mechanism of Dragon Valley.

They set a level below Soul King directly at the entrance.

After listening to Su Yu's explanation, Jing Hongchen nodded thoughtfully.

"I understand," Jing Hongchen said. "When they reach the advanced Soul Master level, I will have them prepare to enter the small space you mentioned."

"By the way, Master, remember to have them practice physical martial arts more."

Su Yu's soul cultivation system follows the path of fusing soul masters and martial souls, which applies to both new soul rings and the effects of cultivation techniques.

The tempering of the Soul Master's physical body is very thorough during the training process, and some students have gradually explored and developed their own martial arts skills.

In other words, it refers to techniques similar to soul skills used in physical cultivation.

In reality, these are just sword, saber, and fist techniques that existed before Su Yu's soul cultivation system, only now they shine with extraordinary brilliance.

"This is a method of cultivating Qi and Blood. Combined with the bone pattern system, it is relatively easy to get started with Qi and Blood. If you have the energy, let them cultivate the path of Qi and Blood as well. Not only can only those below the Soul King level enter Dragon Valley, but it also suppresses the Martial Soul and Soul Power of Soul Masters who enter. Once inside, you can only use your spiritual power and Qi and Blood Power, or simply fight with your own body."

"The effect of spiritual power is suppressed in Dragon Valley, but there is no restriction on the power of blood and qi. Therefore, by combining the power of blood and qi with martial arts, one can gain the greatest benefit when entering Dragon Valley. Of course, one cannot waste too much energy on this; one can only do one's best to strengthen oneself in these areas."

"Xiaoyu, I just received news that you and Yuhao can continue with your missions, but you must be on standby for the next six months."

Jing Hongchen received the news and said something to Su Yu.

Su Yu knew immediately that Xu Tianran had messed things up.

"It seems that His Majesty the Emperor has not managed to bring back the two Limit Douluos from the Holy Spirit Cult."

Jing Hongchen nodded, a wry smile on his face.

This emperor really messed things up.

He probably still believes that his plan was flawless and that there was just a minor hiccup.

How could that be?

The Holy Spirit Cult—that's a bunch of evil spirit masters.

The problems that have surfaced now are not in line with your plans, and this is just the beginning.

"It's alright. Strength is the foundation of everything. Once I break through to the Title Douluo level, with me around, the Holy Spirit Cult won't be able to cause any trouble. Also, Xiao Feng is growing up. Once he's matured, the Holy Spirit Cult can hand him over as a training ground."

Jing Hongchen was speechless.

Good heavens, you train a disciple, and then you throw such a huge enemy at him, and you call this a training exercise?

Su Yu, on the other hand, had a completely normal expression.

"The Holy Spirit Cult can't cause any trouble. The only thing to be careful about is that the evil spirit masters will definitely gain a lot in this war. We must drive them back no matter what."

It is impossible to completely eradicate them.

After all, the foundation of the Holy Spirit Cult is not their inheritance. Strictly speaking, the existence of the Holy Spirit Cult is inevitable. As long as evil soul masters are born in Douluo Continent, and as long as the source of evil soul masters is not extinguished, there will be a continuous stream of evil soul masters forming the Holy Spirit Cult.

To truly resolve the hidden dangers of the Holy Spirit Cult, the only solution is to sever the foundation of the Evil Soul Masters.

In other words, evil spirit masters can rapidly increase their soul power through evil cultivation methods.

This point can be restricted, or a penalty mechanism can be added to it.

However, this involves the level of rules, and Su Yu currently has no clue how to set such rules to achieve such an effect.

"A unified nation, strong internal control, and basic education from childhood are all essential."

The fall of a Soul Master is multifaceted.

It's not just that corrupted evil spirit masters are more likely to gain power, but also that these spirit masters themselves have flaws in their mindset.

"And that girl with the Angelic Martial Soul, haven't they found her yet?"

Su Yu had previously asked Jing Hongchen to find a girl with an angelic martial soul, but there has been no news yet.

At this moment, he casually inquired about Jing Hongchen.

"The girl with the Angelic Martial Soul you mentioned does exist, but our Mingde Hall's investigation has failed to find her. Moreover, almost two years ago, we were unable to find any information about her."

Su Yu narrowed his eyes slightly.

Did something go wrong?

Oh well, if we can't find it, we can't find it.

He had no connection with the Angel lineage whatsoever; he was only looking for the girl with the Angel Martial Soul to help Bai Feng complete the arrangement of rules targeting Evil Soul Masters.

Not one less, not one less.

"If we can't find it, then so be it."

As Su Yu was speaking, he suddenly felt a fluctuation.

"what?"

Seeing that Su Yu was using the power of destiny to deduce, Jing Hongchen did not disturb him.

Now that Su Yu has mastered the power of destiny, he can use it to deduce some basic situations, which his close acquaintances know.

The fluctuations Su Yu sensed came from the far north.

Through analyzing the fluctuations of the power of destiny, Su Yu received a message from the Snow Empress.

"The spatial fluctuations are abnormal. Did the Snow Empress herself also feel the spatial turbulence?" Su Yu's expression changed slightly.

What happened?

According to Xue Di, the soul tools that were previously probing the space had not sensed anything unusual, but suddenly things changed so drastically.

It was as if the abyss had suddenly rushed up and collided with the Douluo Continent.

"Master, I have something to attend to and will be leaving for a while." Su Yu briefly explained the situation to Jing Hongchen before leaving Mingdu.

The far north.

Five days had passed by the time Su Yu arrived.

Even though several days have passed, the spatial fluctuations in the entire far north are still in an extremely abnormal state.

Of course, only the strong can sense such abnormal fluctuations. Those who reach the limit will gradually begin to involve themselves in the power of space, and only when they have a certain degree of control over the power of space can they perceive this anomaly.

Su Yu and Xue Di were among them.

The Titan Snow Demon King of the far north possessed a biological instinct for vigilance and knew that something extraordinary had recently happened. He even went to find the Snow Emperor to inquire about the situation.

Apart from that, the other soul beasts in the far north had a faint sense of danger, but it was not very strong and they were not greatly affected.

Su Yu entered the core area of ​​the far north and quickly found the Snow Emperor.

"You've arrived. You should have sensed it; the spatial fluctuations are very abnormal," Xue Di said upon seeing Su Yu.

Su Yu nodded, carefully sensing the fluctuations in the surrounding space.

Compared to powerful figures like Xue Di, who reached a certain level of strength and began to master spatial power, Su Yu mastered this power by comprehending and analyzing spatial power.

In other words, Su Yu has a deeper understanding of spatial power.

As he carefully sensed the unusual spatial fluctuations, he discovered the problem.

"If I'm not mistaken, the Abyss has suddenly made up its mind to quickly approach Douluo Continent and has already begun preparations to establish a passage between the two sides."

The will of the plane is constrained by Tang Hao's side and can only make instinctive resistance, but it will inevitably be located by the Abyss and a passage will be established.

"The key issue is that someone has interfered with the spatial fluctuations; otherwise, we could have found the node of the spatial passage established with the Abyss by following the spatial fluctuations," Su Yu said.

His expression was somewhat serious at that moment.

If this can be done, then the answer is undoubtedly that someone on the Douluo Continent did it.

On the Douluo Continent, the only organization with the reason or the ability to do this is the Holy Spirit Cult.

"We were discussing with the hall master whether to temporarily put aside the targeting of the Holy Spirit Sect and leave it to Xiao Feng to handle. Now it seems we can't wait any longer."

In Su Yu's memory, in the original story, ten thousand years later, the Holy Spirit Cult was cooperating with the Abyss, which led to the Abyss gradually devouring the Douluo Continent.

If it weren't for someone using cheats, the entire Douluo Continent would probably have been swallowed up by the abyss.

The idea that Tang Hao was the master of a plane was simply a coincidence; he had already made preparations.

The fact that the Golden Dragon King was sealed inside a child's body, yet he didn't die and even grew up, can only be described as pure luck in nurturing a genius.

Most of the time, this approach fails.

Without Tang Wulin, without him acting as an anchor to guide Tang San's divine sense, even if the Abyss Saint Lord descended into Douluo Continent, Tang Hao would not have been able to defeat him.

After all, his strength was a combination of the power of the abyss, possessing the power of a first-level god, and he even wielded a super artifact. In the Douluo Continent, which had been drained of power for thousands of years, even the ruler of the plane could not completely kill him within the plane.

This demonstrates just how insane the Holy Spirit Cult's actions are.

Su Yu was surprised that the Holy Spirit Cult could connect with the Abyss in this era.

"It must be because of me that the connection between the God Realm and the current Douluo Continent was almost severed, making the Abyss even more covetous of Douluo Continent and bringing them closer, thus causing them to re-establish contact with the people inside Douluo Continent ahead of schedule?"

Su Yu guessed that the only person who could act as the intermediary in this connection was the Demon Emperor.

"Sigh, how exactly did they manage to communicate with you and convince you to let the wolf into the house?"

Su Yu didn't quite understand the Demon Emperor's actions.

Honestly, even ten thousand years from now, Su Yu still couldn't understand the Demon Emperor's purpose in bringing the Abyss here.

Becoming a god?

That's probably impossible.

After all, firstly, she is not a life form of the Abyss, and secondly, she is only a Limit Douluo-level fighter. After arriving in the Abyss, her strength will be ranked outside the top ten.

How could she be so sure that she would have the opportunity to cultivate after entering the abyss, and receive help from the Abyss Saint King to break through the bottleneck and reach the god level?

"Is it really just hatred that drives them to destroy the Douluo Continent?"

Su Yu had a speechless expression on his face.

If that's the case, then she's really gone mad.

Su Yu didn't remember the original story very clearly and didn't know the Demon Emperor's true goal. He only knew that in the original story, she was in a very sorry state, like a clown, and was outmaneuvered, ultimately becoming the vessel for the Abyss Saint King to descend upon Douluo Continent.

"So, there's nothing we can do?"

Xue Di asked, her brows furrowed, a look of worry appearing on her face.

The Abyss descends upon Douluo Continent from the depths of the far north. If it is impacted, the far north will be among the first to suffer.

"Let's wait and see; this cover-up can't last forever."

Right now, it's just a collision between two planes; it hasn't reached the point of actually establishing a spatial channel between the two planes yet. It's just two connecting nodes colliding.

This fluctuation can be concealed for the time being.

However, once the spatial passage opens, the fluctuations of spatial power will no longer be concealed, and Su Yu will be able to quickly locate the spatial node.

"Perfect timing. We're still figuring out how to gather the Holy Spirit Cult together for our plan to wipe them out."

The whereabouts of the two Limit Douluo of the Holy Spirit Cult are very difficult to ascertain, even with Su Yu's deduction using the power of fate, the situation remains very vague.

Su Yu had previously thought that the two forces were a bit too strong, making it more difficult to deduce the fluctuations of fate.

"Now it seems, it's because of the abyss."

Since that's the case, we might as well take advantage of the establishment of the spatial passage to surround the far north and completely wipe out the Limit Douluo of the Holy Spirit Cult.

"However, this time we may not only be facing Ye Xishui and Long Xiaoyao, but also that Demon Emperor."

Su Yu always thought about problems in the most prudent way.

Since it's possible that the Demon Emperor has contacted the Abyss Plane and is preparing to cooperate with them, then Su Yu's enemies are not just the Demon Emperor, but also the two current Limit Douluos of the Holy Spirit Cult.

"To be even more conservative, we should also consider the help from the Abyss. Even if it doesn't actually descend, the Demon Emperor probably wouldn't risk trying if there were no benefits at all."

At the very least, there should be a deposit from the Abyss side.

"Um"

If we think about it in the safest way, the Demon Emperor might have a chance to break through to the Quasi-God level? Long Xiaoyao and Ye Xishui's power is probably also slightly higher.

"If we just treat them as three quasi-gods..."

If we convert that to an average Limit Douluo, even six of them might not be enough to defeat him.

Of course, the Limit Douluos on Su Yu's side were not to be underestimated either. Kong Deming now definitely had the power of a quasi-god, and Jing Hongchen might be a little short, but he was still a demigod.

Su Yu himself is somewhere between a demigod and a quasi-god.

"Let's follow the demigod's calculations; that's the safest approach."

Unfortunately, Huo Yuhao's current strength is not enough to participate in a battle of this level; otherwise, he would be considered a fighter at the limit.

"The Snow Empress possesses demigod-level combat power; perhaps I should also call her God of Heaven?"

Di Tian should be at the level of a quasi-god, right?

"Perhaps there's still a chance to call on Xiong Jun; Xiong Jun's attack and defense capabilities are practically demigod-level."

After some consideration, Su Yu concluded that the combat power he could gather seemed sufficient to capture the three potential quasi-gods of the Holy Spirit Cult.

"However, just in case, we still need to expand the encirclement and suppression force as much as possible."

After all, the power that could enter the Douluo plane at the moment of the Abyss's descent was also unknown.

"Judging from the intensity of the spatial fluctuations, it would take at least a year for this channel to form, and that should be enough time."

Su Yu was about to urge Huo Yuhao to level up quickly, so that he could catch the last train and reach the Limit Douluo combat power, which would make him a valuable asset.

"In one year, I broke through level 90, condensed my ninth soul ring, and completed the true nine-ring linkage. With the addition of the Yin-Yang complementary soul core, I will definitely have the power of a quasi-god."

Su Yu has always been conservative in his assessment of his own combat strength.

Even if conservative estimates include quasi-god level combat power, then he must be among the top quasi-gods.

Such power would be enough to annihilate them deep in the far north, even if Ye Xishui, the Demon Emperor of the Holy Spirit Cult, and Long Xiaoyao all became quasi-gods.

"Sigh, if I could, I really wouldn't want to collide with the abyss so soon."

Although he coveted the Abyss and even considered devouring it, Su Yu was well aware that he was not yet capable of dealing with its arrival.

The main source of his headaches is still the abyss.

"Shouldn't a single dimensional portal be able to send over quasi-god level power?"

If possible, Su Yu felt he needed help.

"Sigh, let's end the war as soon as possible and mobilize the Soul Master Corps."
