Douluo Continent: Awakening the Original Martial Soul at the Start

Chapter 138 Sitting in Oblivion

boom!

The compressed, metallic soul power, combined with the blood and qi, erupted instantly, unleashing a massive slash radiating brilliant golden light. The entire Golden Iron Mountain Range trembled, and a large amount of rubble began to fall from the cave ceiling. Wherever the slash passed, all the abyssal creatures were reduced to ashes by this supremely yang and powerful force. The slash continued to the front of the abyssal passage, leaving a deep ravine.

The surviving abyssal creatures showed no fear whatsoever, continuing their relentless charge towards Li Fan with eyes full of madness.

"Quickly contact His Majesty via the communication mirror and explain the situation here. The rest of you, stay with me and hold them off. Remember to be careful!"

Li Fan tossed a bronze mirror from his storage ring to an adjutant behind him, instructing him to contact someone. He then led the Soul Masters guarding the area and charged forward, beginning a frenzied hunt for the endless stream of creatures emerging from the abyss.

"roar!"

With a series of roars, more than a dozen towering mammoths charged out of the passage and charged forward. Each one emitted a scarlet energy fluctuation that indicated they were at least at the Soul Emperor level, and some even reached the Soul Saint level. This was the most important vanguard of the Abyss, the Abyss Mammoths, with their powerful defense and strength.

As the Abyss Mammoth charged, the entire mine trembled violently. Li Fan's attacks, which were originally imbued with the metal element and were extremely yang and powerful, were no longer as easy as before. He often needed to use his full strength to strike several times to break through the Abyss Mammoth's defenses and kill it.

"What kind of monsters are these? Do such creatures even exist on the continent?! You must know that I am not only a seventh-ring Soul Saint, but also a seventh-ring Blood Qi Warrior! I can defeat even a Soul Douluo with the combination of the two, but it took me several full-force attacks to kill these mammoths that are only at the Soul Emperor level."

With a burst of soul power erupting from his iron rod, Li Fan blocked the elephant trunk that was being swung at him. His eyes were filled with disbelief. He had to deal with this group of mammoths as soon as possible, otherwise the huge number of abyssal creatures following behind the mammoths would rush out of the mine under cover.

Having experienced the ferocity of these creatures firsthand, Li Fan knew that they absolutely could not be allowed to break out of the mine, otherwise the Heavenly Dou Empire would definitely be plunged into a bloodbath.

If even a powerful Soul Saint like Li Fan struggled to withstand it, one can only imagine how difficult it was for other Soul Masters. No matter how exquisite their teamwork or how much soul power they unleashed, they had little effect against the massive Abyss Mammoth. Instead, they were routed, their corpses and soul power swallowed whole by the Abyss Mammoth.

"Whoosh!"

Just then, a whooshing sound rang out, and a dashing figure appeared before Li Fan. It was Qian Renxue, who had received the message. Originally, she wanted to send a few elders over, but when she saw the scene of the abyss passage transmitted through the bronze mirror, she felt a chill run down her spine. Without thinking of anything else, she flew over at full speed.

"The Holy Sword of Angels!"

A blazing light flashed in her hand, and a golden holy sword appeared. Qian Renxue unleashed her full power, and with the vibration of her three soul cores, a golden sword aura flew out, cutting all the abyssal creatures that had escaped from the abyssal passage in half at the waist, and then burning them to ashes in the golden flames.

"sister in law!"

Upon seeing the person who had arrived, Li Fan immediately exclaimed in delight.

"Xiao Fan, take your men and leave first, then seal off the entire Jin Tie Mountain Range, allowing no one to enter!"

With another sword strike, Qian Renxue cleaved the charging Abyss Blade Demon into ashes. She then spoke to Xiao Fan behind her before staring intently at the Abyss Passage with an extremely solemn expression. She could feel a chill emanating from the passage, and a sense of fear even crept into her heart. Moreover, there was a constant stream of creatures rushing out of the passage.

"Yes!" Li Fan turned and waved to the remaining men: "Everyone, retreat with me!"

"Very good!"

The Soul Masters followed Li Fan and ran outside, leaving Qian Renxue alone to fight inside the mine.

"Angel Seal!"

After killing the Abyss Mammoth that had just emerged from the Abyss Plane, Qian Renxue released the sealing array that she had been preparing. A dazzling golden light flashed, and the array composed of twelve angelic holy sword marks covered the Abyss Passage, sealing it away.

The dark red energy began to continuously impact the sealing array, but with little effect; it only caused the array to tremble but could not be broken.

"What is on the other side of the passage?! Why does it make someone like me, who has surpassed the Limit Douluo realm, feel afraid?!"

After adding a few more angel seals, Qian Renxue's face also turned solemn. Such a passage suddenly appeared in the Heaven Dou Empire, and in the most important mining area at that. Someone must have made it. Moreover, she had never heard of anything similar appearing in the Douluo Continent before.

"Go find Li Fei, maybe he knows something?!"

Qian Renxue checked several more times to make sure there were no problems before turning around and walking out of the mine. She dismissed the miners, gave them compensation, and notified the Golden Crocodile and other guardians to come and keep watch before leaving with peace of mind, flying towards the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Eye.

In the blink of an eye, Qian Renxue landed inside the Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire. Seeing Li Fei sleeping soundly in a hammock woven from two immortal herbs, she immediately wanted to go forward, but the two immortal herbs blocked her from entering with their branches and leaves.

"Xiao Bing, Xiao Huo, what are you two doing?! I need to talk to Li Fei!" Qian Renxue frowned and asked coldly.

"The master is undergoing a transformation and cannot be disturbed!!" Xiao Bing's slightly childish voice rang out. Because of Li Fei, the two immortal herbs had fully awakened their consciousness and their mental capacity was equivalent to that of an eleven or twelve-year-old human.

"Yes!" Little Fire beside her swayed its branches and chimed in.

"He's undergoing a transformation! Could it be that Li Fei is becoming a god?!" Qian Renxue murmured in disbelief, looking at the two immortal herbs on the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Spring: "Little Ice, Little Fire, once Li Fei's transformation is complete, tell him to come find me immediately and say there's something extremely urgent!"

After saying that, Qian Renxue turned around and went back into the Heavenly Dou Imperial Palace.

In the following period, nine abyssal passages appeared in various parts of the Heaven Dou Empire, each one larger than the last. The largest one even produced an abyssal mammoth at the Soul Douluo level and a creature at the Title Douluo level. Qian Renxue had no choice but to send people from the Clear Sky Sect to guard it.

"The nine passages are all very far apart, located throughout the Heaven Dou Empire, making it difficult for them to support each other. Someone must be up to something behind this!"

Inside the Heaven Dou Imperial Palace, looking at the locations of the nine abyss passages, Qian Renxue's face was extremely cold. Now all the titled Douluo of the Heaven Dou Empire have been dispatched. The three largest passages are guarded by the Haotian Sect, the Angelic Clan, and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, respectively, and the battles are extremely fierce.

The abyssal creatures were all incredibly powerful, and their attacks were relentless, day and night. Even the two major sects and the Angels were struggling to cope. Fortunately, the Blacksmith Association provided them with the latest soul-guided cannons and other weapons, which allowed them to barely manage.

Although she sealed the passage multiple times, each time someone would secretly unlock it after a short while. The largest ones were even beyond her ability to seal. In the end, she simply stopped sealing it and instead had the army guard it.

"Bibi Dong, what exactly are you trying to do?! You don't really think that by holding back all my top combat forces, you can defeat the Heaven Dou Empire, do you?!"

Looking at Qian Renxue of the Silves Royal City with an extremely cold expression, she could tell at a glance that this was Bibi Dong's doing. All the combat power above the Soul King level in the entire empire had been conscripted. Except for a small number of officers in charge of command, the rest were basically sent to the vicinity of these abyss passages.

"Haha, let's see what you do now, Qian Renxue! However, Li Fei hasn't appeared yet, so the Heavenly Dou Empire can't act rashly, but the Star Luo Empire is already in my pocket!"

Bibi Dong looked at the intelligence in her hand and laughed heartily, but there was still a hint of fear in her eyes towards Li Fei.

Meanwhile, the new Spirit Hall began to assemble its army and set out for the Star Luo Empire. With its massive army of spirit masters and top-tier combat power of titled Douluo, it swept through the region with unstoppable momentum, quickly conquering the Antonio Province and the Dragon Flame Province, and advancing directly towards the Star Luo Province where Star Luo City is located.

Emperor Xingluo had no choice but to shrink his defenses and concentrate all his forces to deal with the new Spirit Hall, while sending people to the Heaven Dou Empire for help.

"So this is what you wanted?! Bibi Dong!"

Looking at the intelligence and letters in her hand, Qian Renxue also wanted to go and provide reinforcements, but now all the Soul Douluos and Title Douluos of the Heaven Dou Empire had been arranged to suppress the Abyss Passage, so there was no way to go there. As for those below the Soul Saint level, it would be useless for them to go.

The Star Luo Empire's weakness isn't in its combat strength below the Soul Saint level—in that aspect, it's not much different from the New Spirit Hall—but in its Title Douluo. With nearly ten powerful Title Douluo, they could easily tear apart the Star Luo Empire's defenses and cause its collapse.

Moreover, there is Bibi Dong, who has already become a Rakshasa god.

Moreover, the Star Luo Empire and the Heaven Dou Empire are not mutually dependent. In the end, the Star Luo Empire is also a target of the Heaven Dou Empire. It's just a matter of whether it is destroyed by Bibi Dong or by itself. So after thinking for a while, Qian Renxue gave up her plan to provide support. However, she did not want Bibi Dong to occupy the Star Luo Empire so easily.

"Someone, notify Elders Serpent Spear and Porcupine Pufferfish stationed at the border, instructing them to harass the Häagen-Dazs Kingdom and the Gulei Kingdom, which are currently occupied by the New Spirit Hall, forcing the New Spirit Hall to divide its forces!"

"Also, send someone to sell a batch of newly manufactured firearms and soul tools to the Star Luo Empire to boost their army's combat capabilities! However, the price should be three times the market value!"

……

Upon receiving the order, She Long and Citun immediately led a small force to begin harassing and plundering the two kingdoms according to plan, constantly waging guerrilla warfare.

"hateful!"

Bibi Dong slammed her scepter into the ground. She naturally understood Qian Renxue's reasons for doing this. It was an open conspiracy, and she had no choice but to respond. Otherwise, the hearts of the people that the new Spirit Hall had gathered would definitely fall apart.

"Send for Yue Guan, Gui Mei, and the Eighth and Ninth Elders to the two kingdoms to annihilate the Heavenly Dou Empire's surprise attack force!"

"yes!"

The departure of the four Title Douluo greatly reduced the pressure on the Star Luo Empire, and with the arrival of new weapons, it was able to temporarily withstand the attack of the new Spirit Hall.

……

Inside the Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire!

"Is this what Buddhism calls: no self, no person, no sentient being, no life span? During this period of slumber, my mind has been sublimated once again. A powerful mind can combine with the trajectory of the planet's rotation, achieving oneness with heaven and man, forgetting both self and things. My understanding of the great Dao of heaven and earth has been elevated to several levels."

Li Fei slowly opened his eyes. He hadn't expected that this cultivation would allow him to break through his realm again, reaching the state of "sitting in oblivion." During this time, his mind even touched the planetary will of the entire Douluo Star, allowing him to understand some of the planet's secrets.

"As expected of a fantasy floor tile. Even those below the God-King level can't withstand the power of the planet's will, only able to unleash the strength of a peak Quasi-God. No wonder I thought Bibi Dong was a complete fraud!"

With a wry smile, Li Fei finally understood why he could easily defeat Bibi Dong. Although Bibi Dong had become a god and possessed the tenth ring, she could only exert the strength of level one hundred. He, on the other hand, had long since reached the level of microscopic control, possessing microscopic control down to the nanometer level. He could use a fraction of his strength as a hundredfold increase in power.

Moreover, due to the principle of the Zhou Tian Dao, the energy within the body circulates, compensating for the body's deficiencies. Even injuries such as being cut in half at the waist or having one's dantian shattered can be instantly recovered.

Most importantly, with the support of mental power, the subtle control can not only penetrate into oneself, but also perceive the external environment in detail, analyze the surrounding situation, and refine the energy flow between oneself and the outside world.

Its consciousness is capable of splitting into dozens of parts, its computing power rivals that of a supercomputer, and its thinking ability far surpasses that of ordinary people. Due to its extremely strong perception, it also possesses a kind of mystical precognitive ability, making it easy for it to locate objects by sound, move according to the wind, and know the cicadas in autumn.

Bibi Dong had no chance of winning against Li Fei.

Li Fei was sitting cross-legged in the hammock, comprehending the newly formed nascent soul-like entity in his dantian. The formation of the nascent soul allowed Li Fei to take the application of power to a new level, reaching the ultimate level of subtlety, down to the atomic level. Moreover, the crimson-gold power emitted by the nascent soul was dozens of times purer than before, and much stronger than Bibi Dong's Rakshasa divine power.

"Lord Li Fei, Miss Qian Renxue said that if you wake up, go to her; she has important matters to discuss with you!"

Hearing Xiao Bing's words, Li Fei was a little puzzled. He gently stroked the two immortal herbs, and then instantly disappeared from the spot and appeared in the palace.

"Xue'er, what happened?!"

"Li Fei, during this period, nine spatial passages have appeared in the Heaven Dou Empire. I don't know where they are connected to. Many creatures that have never been seen on the continent will emerge from them. They kill any creatures they see and then devour the spiritual energy of the continent to strengthen themselves. There are even creatures at the Title Douluo level. Most importantly, I feel a sense of trepidation when I stand in front of the spatial passages."
