Douluo Continent: The Twin Holy Dragons of Light and Darkness, the Dragon Emperor Breaks Through the

Ling Feng stood by the window, watching the figures passing by one by one, and felt the power within them that was establishing a connection with the rules of the divine realm steadily stabilizing.

Chapter 343 Abyss Plane

Qian Renxue walked in from outside, carrying a cup of tea. Her gaze passed over his shoulder and looked out the window: "Has the fourth batch all passed?"

Ling Feng said, "Mm."

It's all in the past now.

His breathing was steady.

Qian Renxue placed the teacup beside him: "When is the fifth batch scheduled?"

Ling Feng thought for a moment: "Let's wait until the fourth batch is completely stable before making a decision."

Tang San set off for the Rift three days after the fourth batch of Tribulation Transcenders completed their mission.

When he walked along the official road, he could no longer see the large groups of travelers he had seen before.

He arrived at the bottom of the rift at dusk on the third day, stood directly below it, and looked up for a while, as if to confirm that the rift was indeed still in its original position.

Without hesitation, he climbed upwards along the crack, feeling his inner energy connecting with the silvery-white light at the edge of the crack, as if slowly opening a door.

He passed through the rift and landed on the gray-white ground at the edge of the divine realm, where he could feel the ground beneath his feet becoming more solid.

He stood there looking down at his hands for a while, his fingertips beginning to glow.

He stood there for about fifteen minutes, then walked down to the lower realm in the direction he had come from, his steps more steady than before.

As Qian Renxue was tidying up the tea set in the courtyard, A Yin walked in from outside the gate, carrying a basket of freshly picked vegetables.

She didn't say much, but simply placed the vegetable basket on the stone table, sat down opposite her, arranged the few green vegetables with yellowing tips in the basket, and then gathered the selected leaves to one side: "He left today."

Qian Renxue didn't ask who he was: "When is he coming back?"

Ah Yin said, "He said he'd come back after he finished watching."

Qian Renxue nodded.

Ah Yin didn't ask any more questions. She put the vegetables she had already selected into the basket, picked up the basket, and stood up: "Then I'll go wash the vegetables."

That evening, Tang San returned.

He pushed open the courtyard gate; the short sword was still hanging at his waist. Ah Yin was in the yard collecting clothes. Seeing him walk in, she didn't ask any questions, but simply draped the clothes over her arm and said, "The food is still warm."

The next morning, Ling Feng came out of the offering hall and saw that new buds had begun to sprout on the branches of the old locust tree. They were tender green and looked like tiny flags being slowly unfurled.

Qian Renxue walked over from under the eaves, following his gaze to the treetops: "Spring came earlier this year than last year."

Ling Feng said, "Perhaps the rules have changed, and even the trees have sensed it."

Qian Renxue did not respond.

The sky above the distant city walls was slowly brightening, and the auras that he had once needed to confirm one by one were now maintaining their own rhythm in their respective positions.

Ling Feng felt the power within his body flowing naturally, without needing any further conscious guidance.

He turned around and walked into the house, as if he were confirming in his own way that the changes had been completed.

Qian Renxue walked beside him, and neither of them spoke.

The old locust tree in the courtyard casts dappled shadows in the morning light, which are slowly moving.

The sky above the city wall was completely bright, like a letter that had already been written and was ready to be sent out.

The gray clouds at the edge of the divine realm quietly changed color that evening.

The change was not drastic; it wasn't a sudden, deafening collapse. Rather, it was more like a very light, dark purple layer slowly spreading at the bottom of the clouds, as if something had seeped into it from below.

The God of Destruction was the first to notice this change.

He stood on the steps of his palace, the cup of tea in his hand still unfinished, his gaze fixed on the deepening dark purple arc at the edge of the clouds.

He put down his teacup, took a few steps forward along the edge of the gray platform, and confirmed that the color was indeed not caused by light refraction, nor did it show any signs of dissipating.

He stood there for a while, then turned and walked toward the central hall.

When he pushed open the door, Ling Feng was standing by the window.

On the central long table lay a newly unfolded border map. Near the edge of the map, there was a new mark that hadn't been there last night: a tiny, dark purple dot that was slowly moving.

The God of Destruction walked to the table and paused at its edge: "You noticed."

Ling Feng said, "I just noticed it."

When Qian Renxue pushed open the door from the side hall, she had already changed into clothes that were easier to move in, and the holy sword was hanging at her waist.

She didn't ask what the dark purple light was; her gaze was fixed on Ling Feng's face, as if waiting for him to ask a question whose answer she already knew.

Ling Feng traced a line along the edge of the dark purple dot on the map with his finger: "This color seeped in from the edge. The Sea God reported three days ago that the rift was slowly widening. At the time, it was judged to be a structural change caused by spatial compression, but now it seems that something is moving this way from the other side of the rift."

The God of Destruction stood beside the table, his fingertip hovering directly above the dark purple mark on the map: "How long has it been?"

Ling Feng said, "It takes about two hours from the appearance of the color to the confirmation of its intensity."

No entity has yet crossed the crack, but the edges are being continuously disturbed, as if something is trying to establish a stable passage.

The Goddess of Life walked in from outside the temple, holding a newly compiled scroll of records, and placed it on the table: "The defensive runes on the edge have covered the area around the crack. As long as the crack maintains its current width, nothing will be able to pass through easily."

However, if the width continues to increase, the existing defensive runes will be stretched.

The God of Destruction remained silent. His fingertip lingered briefly on the dark purple arc at the edge of the map before he withdrew his hand. "Notify Di Tian to go to the Star Dou Great Forest and invite Gu Yuena over."

If there really is something on the other side of the rift trying to enter the realm of the gods, she needs to know that.

When the news reached the Starry Sky Forest, dusk was slowly settling into the woods.

Di Tian stood on the north bank of the Lake of Life. After listening to Ling Feng's words, he didn't ask any more questions and walked along the lake shore into the depths of the forest.

He stopped at the edge of the island in the middle of the lake, where silver light was slowly spreading across the surface.

Gu Yuena stood in the middle of the lake, her long silver-gold hair cascading down to the water's surface. Her gaze was fixed on Di Tian, ​​as if waiting for him to speak.

Di Tian said, "A deep abyss rift has appeared at the edge of the God Realm and is widening. Something is trying to build a passage on the other side."

Gu Yuena's gaze shifted slightly: "That abyss space has finally connected with the God Realm."

The aura emanating from the edge of that crack was very similar to the one sensed when the Dragon God perished.

Di Tian did not press further: "My lord, would you like to take a look at the God Realm?"

Gu Yuena emerged from the center of the lake, silver-gold light slowly gathering around her, as if she were regrouping the scattered power: "Go."

When Ling Feng and Qian Renxue arrived at the location of the crack along the gray passage, the crack in the distance was already about a finger's width wider than when they observed it that morning.

Chapter 344 Advance Team

The dark purple light at the edge was pulsating slowly, as if something was pushing against the crack at a fixed rhythm.

Ling Feng stopped about ten feet away from the crack. He could feel a continuous force pushing outward from inside the crack. It wasn't a one-time impact, but more like a series of pulses, like a heartbeat.

Qian Renxue stood beside him, her gaze fixed on the faintly trembling dark purple light at the edge of the crack: "There's something breathing on the other side."

Ling Feng said, "Mm."

And it knew that the crack had already opened.

The God of Destruction approached from another direction and stopped beside Ling Feng: "The defensive runes can block its current pulse, but it won't last long."

Ling Feng looked at the slowly pulsating crack: "Once it finds the right rhythm, the crack will become wider."

When Gu Yuena arrived, the crack had widened a bit more than before.

She stopped about five zhang away from the crack, not moving any closer, her gaze fixed on the vertical edge of the crack, without turning her head: "The other side of this crack is indeed an abyss."

Those dark purple pulsations are traces left by abyssal creatures as they attempt to establish a connection.

I saw similar traces when the Dragon God fell, only none as wide as this one.

Ling Feng looked at her: "Have you ever seen abyssal creatures?"

Gu Yuena said, "I've seen it."

In the period following the fall of the Dragon God, several similar rifts appeared briefly, but were quickly repaired by the rules of the divine realm itself.

This time, the crack widened much faster than before, as if someone was continuously pushing it from the other side.

The God of Destruction stood at the edge: "How long can the defensive runes hold out?"

Gu Yuena said, "If we just passively endure it, there are about three more days."

However, if an active interference barrier can be added to the edge of the crack to slow its expansion, more time can be bought.

Di Tian stepped out from behind her: "I'm going to find the materials."

Deep within the Star Dou Great Forest, there are several types of minerals capable of withstanding this level of spatial disturbance.

Gu Yuena said, "Don't disturb the soul beasts in the forest that have just completed their tribulation."

Di Tian nodded, then turned and left.

Ling Feng did not leave.

He found a flat spot near the crack and sat down, placing the Dragon Staff across his lap, his gaze fixed on the slowly moving dark purple light.

Qian Renxue sat down beside him: "When do you think those things on the other side will actually try to cross this crack?"

Ling Feng said, "It won't be long."

They've already reached the door; they won't turn back.

Qian Renxue did not ask any further questions.

As night fell, the dark purple light at the edge of the crack became more stable, as if it were gradually finding its own rhythm.

Ling Feng sat there, and could feel that the pulses were becoming more regular, no longer tentative collisions, but more like a carefully calibrated way of applying force.

Gu Yuena stood on the other side of the crack, holding the mineral powder that Di Tian had brought back, and was laying a layer of fine silver patterns along the edge of the crack.

Her movements were slow, as if she were calibrating the width and density of the patterns in her own way.

Ling Feng did not disturb her.

The next morning, the crack stopped widening.
