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

The tall figure did not answer.

He turned his gaze back to the slowly moving dark purple dot on the map: "Two days."

Then let's wait two days.

If the crack hasn't opened within two days, I will go to the front lines myself.

When the news reached the front lines, Nagarz was standing at the entrance of his tent, his gaze fixed on the slowly closing crack.

The adjutant walked up behind him: "The Seventh and Eighth Legions have reached their designated positions."

Nargas did not turn around: "Let them wait, and don't go near the edge of the crack."

Once the sealing layer has completely failed, proceed simultaneously.

"Keep a close eye on the changes at the edge of the crack, and don't let that seal strengthen again to the point where it's impossible to break through."

At the same time, Ling Feng was passing through the dark purple light inside the crack.

He could feel the ground beneath his feet moving slowly, as if it were vibrating in some kind of continuous rhythm.

The rock walls on both sides are covered with a layer of fine, dark purple crystals, the edges of which are slowly shimmering, as if they are being repeatedly activated by some kind of force.

Qian Renxue's voice came from behind him: "There's no way out here."

Ling Feng didn't stop: "Then let's keep going."

Let's see where they came from.

After Ling Feng passed through the crack, the sensation under his feet changed.

It was no longer the grayish-white, solid rocky ground at the edge of the divine realm, but a softer, black gravel that looked like it had been repeatedly trampled.

Each step leaves a shallow footprint, the edges of which slowly collapse, as if being smoothed out by some force.

After he stood still, he didn't rush to move. He first let his eyes adjust to the light in this space. Soon he could see the outline of his surroundings. The dark red pillars of light that were suspended in the air, as if being blown by the wind, were slowly rotating in their respective positions, as if they were confirming his presence in their own way.

He could feel the airflow inside the crack slowly closing behind him, as if it were resealing the opening.

Qian Renxue landed behind him, her boots making a slight scraping sound as they stepped on the black gravel.

After she regained her footing, she turned her head to look at the slowly closing crack behind her: "The entrance is tightening."

Ling Feng didn't turn around: "We can hold on for a while longer."

Before it completely closes, let's see just how big this place is.

As Jin Chen landed behind him, the Trident of Poseidon struck the ground with a muffled thud.

After he steadied himself, he looked around at his surroundings: "This place is different from what I imagined."

It wasn't as dark as I'd imagined, though it wasn't very bright either.

Ling Feng said, "Those pillars of light are maintaining the stability of this space."

If they go out, this space will likely begin to collapse.

Jin Chen gripped the Trident of Poseidon tightly: "Then they'd better not go out."

Di Tian was the last to pass through the crack.

He landed without making a loud noise, but you could feel the ground beneath his feet tremble slightly the moment he landed.

He said, "I can feel it."

The boundaries of this space are slowly shrinking.

We are indeed on the edge of an abyss.

Qian Renxue turned her head to the side: "How much longer can you hold on?"

Di Tian said, "At the current rate of contraction, there are about seven more days."

This process could accelerate if the sealing layer at the crack's edge completely fails.

Ling Feng didn't reply; he walked towards the direction where the pillars of light were denser.

They walked a distance along the black gravel-covered ground.

On both sides, some low, weathered rock structures gradually appeared, some resembling collapsed pillars, and others like cut-open platforms.

Jin Chen walked up to one of the pillars and touched its surface: "These stones have been processed before."

There are signs of cutting along the edges.

Ling Feng walked to another pillar, his fingertips brushing across the surface. He could feel the depth and direction of the marks, the edges were straight and the intervals were even: "People used to live here."

Moreover, this is not a temporary stay, but a long-term residence.

Qian Renxue stood between two pillars, her gaze sweeping over the traces that had been mostly weathered away: "Is this the front line of the Abyss?"

Or is it an abandoned residential area?

Di Tian said, "It should be the former."

The depth and direction of those marks are inconsistent, indicating that they were repeatedly trampled and repaired over a long period of time.

Ling Feng didn't reply; he continued walking forward.

The beams of light grew denser, and the black sand beneath our feet grew thicker, giving us a feeling of being compacted as we stepped on it.

The ground ahead began to become uneven, with some low, pitted holes that looked like they had been dug repeatedly.

Dark fragments were piled up around the edge of the pit, like the remains left after something was smashed.

Jin Chen squatted down, picked up one of the fragments, and examined it closely: "These fragments are not rocks."

It looks more like a fragment of some kind of creature's carapace.

Di Tian walked to his side, took the fragment, and ran his fingertips along the edge: "It was indeed once part of a living thing."

Moreover, the thickness of this carapace is gradually increasing, as if it is continuously growing.

Qian Renxue's gaze fell into the depths of the pit: "Then what is this pit used for?"

Jin Chen stood up: "They're probably used for breeding."

Resources in the Abyss are limited; if they need to sustain their combat operations, they must have a stable food source.

A low, rumbling sound came from afar, like something moving slowly.

Ling Feng did not stop and walked towards the direction from which the sound came, holding the Panlong Staff in his hand.

The sound was getting closer and closer.

He could see what was moving: a creature much larger than the previous abyssal creatures, slowly dragging a dark metal plate in a certain direction.

Its movements were slow, as if it was using all its strength to drag the weight of the metal plate.

Its back is covered with a layer of dark purple scales, but the edges of the scales are worn away, revealing a grayish-white underlying layer.

He didn't go forward immediately, but stood there and watched for a while.

The creature stopped after dragging it for a while, put down the metal plate, and seemed to be resting. Its breathing was heavy and slow, as if it was checking for any threats in its surroundings.

Ling Feng did not deliberately conceal his footsteps, but he also did not deliberately quicken his pace.

He stopped when he was about five zhang in front of the creature.

The creature raised its head, glanced in Ling Feng's direction, and neither retreated nor attacked immediately.

Its gaze lingered on Ling Feng for a moment, then moved away, as if judging that he was not a target it needed to be wary of.

Chapter 351 What is there to fear?

Ling Feng, gripping the Dragon-Coiling Staff, stood in front of the creature: "Can you understand me?"

The creature's gaze returned to him, and after a moment of silence, its voice was hoarse and slow: "Yes."

You possess the aura of the divine realm.

You are not a creature of the abyss.

Ling Feng said, "I came from the other side of the crack."

Were you forced to do these things, or did you do them voluntarily?

The creature lowered its head and adjusted the position of the metal plate with its front paws: "No one forced me."

Even if you don't do these things, you'll still be sent to the front lines.

I chose the front.

It raised its head again, "You're not the first person to come through the crack."

Others have crossed the crack before, but none of them made it back alive.

They will also be killed on the other side of the crack.

Ling Feng asked, "After they passed through the crevice, how long did they stay here?"

The creature thought for a moment: "The longest one stayed was three days."

Jin Chen approached from behind and stood beside Ling Feng: "So how were they discovered?"

The creature said, "Light."

Those moving beams of light can detect an aura that does not belong to the abyss.

Once discovered, a patrol team will come.

You were able to get here because the beams of light haven't completely covered this area yet.

Ling Feng glanced at the dark red beams of light that were moving slowly in the distance: "Who is controlling those beams of light?"

The creature said, "The person in charge of managing this area."

I don't know his name, but he's been monitoring everything around the rift. As soon as any new presence enters the abyss, the beams of light adjust their brightness, and then the patrols arrive.

Qian Renxue's voice came from behind Ling Feng: "So, have we been discovered by now?"

The creature's gaze passed over Ling Feng and landed on Qian Renxue, pausing for a moment before saying, "Not yet."

But it will be soon.

The brightness of those light pillars is increasing.
