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

If they become as bright as the surrounding dark red, your location will be revealed.

Ling Feng asked, "How much longer can we stay here?"

The creature said, "If you leave now, you'll have about an hour left."

Jin Chen asked, "And what about after that hour?"

The creature said, "I won't stay here any longer in an hour."

Once those beams of light have covered the area, the entire region will be scanned, and even I won't stay here.

It lowered its head, bit the corner of the metal plate again, and then dragged it forward.

Ling Feng did not chase after them.

He stood there, watching the creature slowly walk away, dragging the metal plate behind it.

He could sense that the dark red pillars of light in the distance were becoming brighter and were slowly moving toward them.

Di Tian walked to his side: "How much time is left before those pillars of light completely cover the area?"

Ling Feng said, "The creature said about an hour."

Di Tian said, "An hour is enough for us to find out the purpose of these pits."

Ling Feng nodded: "Then let's walk faster."

He walked toward the direction where the pits were densely packed. The pits varied in size and depth, but the marks on their edges indicated that they had been used repeatedly.

Jin Chen squatted down and used his hands to brush away the debris piled up at the edge, revealing the strata below: "The bottom of these pits is flat, as if they were repaired before, but were abandoned and then filled with new gravel."

Someone cleaned up these pits, removed everything inside, and then filled them back in with gravel.

Di Tian stood at the edge of another pit: "There are some remaining traces at the bottom of this pit, like some kind of liquid that has dried up."

Qian Renxue walked to the edge of the pit: "After they cleaned the pit, did they leave any traces?"

Ling Feng stood at the edge of the pit and felt a continuous tremor coming from the ground beneath his feet, as if something was moving in the distance at a fixed rhythm.

He turned in the direction of the vibration and walked toward the moving aura.

Jin Chen and Qian Renxue followed behind him, while Di Tian brought up the rear. Their footsteps were particularly clear on the open ground.

As Ling Feng approached the source of the tremor, he saw a group of abyssal creatures moving in an orderly fashion towards the distance.

Their ranks were long, neatly arranged, and moved in unison, as if they were carrying out some long-term mission.

He could sense that the approaching aura was becoming increasingly dense, and then he saw the dark red beam of light in the distance moving faster, and the brightness of the entire area was rapidly increasing.

Qian Renxue's voice came from behind him: "The beam of light is covering the area at an accelerated pace, faster than expected."

Ling Feng said, "They've spotted us."

He gripped the Dragon Staff tightly, without retreating, and took a step in the direction the pillar of light was moving: "Then let them come."

After he finished speaking, the beams of light that were moving at an accelerated pace in the distance began to change direction. They no longer advanced evenly but began to converge rapidly toward Ling Feng's location, as if they were being guided toward him by some force.

He stood there watching the beams of light approaching him, feeling the ground beneath his feet growing warmer, and the continuous low-frequency vibration in the air becoming more and more pronounced, like an accelerating heart moving closer to him from afar.

Qian Renxue gripped the Holy Sword tightly, Jin Chen held the Trident of the Sea God horizontally in front of him, and Di Tian's aura was becoming heavier, while the dark purple light at the edge of the crack was slowly receding.

Ling Feng stood in front of them, his back to the continuously reverberating low-frequency vibration, and said, "They're here."

The persistent low-frequency vibration is getting closer and closer.

Ling Feng stood still, feeling the ground undulating slightly with the rhythm of the tremor, as if something was walking towards him with a fixed pace, each step pressing its weight deep into the black gravel-covered ground.

Qian Renxue gripped the holy sword tightly, turned her head to glance at him: "Quite a few."

Ling Feng said, "Mm."

They know we're here.

The brightness of the light beam is increasing rapidly.

The dark red beams of light had changed from moving slowly to converging rapidly, as if they were being guided by some kind of unified consciousness.

Jin Chen held the Trident of Poseidon horizontally in front of him: "Are we surrounded, or are they just adjusting their defenses?"

Di Tian's voice came from behind him: "They are closing in the encirclement."

This is not a test; it's a formal blockade.

Ling Feng did not retreat. He took a step towards the direction of the closing pillars of light: "Then let's move forward."

Let's see how they want to talk.

They stopped when the beam of light narrowed to a distance of about twenty feet from them.

A group of abyssal creatures came into view, lined up neatly and moving in unison.

At the very front of the group was a creature much larger than the others. Its carapace was covered with a dark metallic coating, like a protective layer that had been repeatedly forged. A faint, dark red light could be seen flowing around its joints.

Chapter 352 Agreement

It stopped about ten feet in front of Ling Feng, glanced at him, and then spoke: "You are not residents of the Abyss."

You came from the other side of the rift.

Ling Feng said, "Yes."

The creature said, "You should have seen it when you passed through that crack."

This space is shrinking, and the crack is the only exit.

Do you want to shut it down, or do you want to use it?

Ling Feng did not answer immediately.

He could feel the creature's gaze lingering on his face, as if waiting for confirmation of a question whose answer it already knew.

He began by saying, "I want to figure out first why this space is shrinking."

The creature was silent for a moment, then turned its head and glanced at the beams of light that were closing behind it: "Follow me."

It's not convenient to talk here.

It turned and walked towards a relatively open area at the edge of the pillar of light.

Ling Feng gripped the Panlong Staff, not immediately following, as if he was trying to determine in his own way whether the invitation was worth accepting.

Jin Chen's voice came from behind him: "Boss, could this be a trap?"

Ling Feng said, "Maybe."

But if we don't follow it, we won't know what it's trying to say.

He started walking and followed.

The creature led them to a relatively flat area with low rock structures on both sides, resembling abandoned outposts.

It stopped in that area and turned around: "I am the frontline coordinator of the Seventh Legion of the Abyss."

You should have already seen our commander before you passed through the rift.

He should have told you that this space is collapsing.

Ling Feng said, "He said that."

They say the abyss is shrinking, and the rift is the only way out.

The creature said, "What he said is true."

But that's not the whole story.

The contraction begins from the inside, not from external erosion; it is the structure of this space itself that is disintegrating.

The cracks are not natural fissures, but cracks that occur when a structure disintegrates.

If this continues, the entire space will completely close off.

Jin Chen asked, "Before this space shrank, did you try to repair it?"

The creature was silent for a moment: "tried."

We tried reinforcing the edges and filling the widening cracks.

But the cracks are expanding faster than we can repair them.

Every time you seal one crack, another one appears deeper inside.

Di Tian stood beside Ling Feng: "Then why don't you try to evacuate?"

If the space is shrinking, staying here won't change the outcome.

The creature said, "Evacuation requires direction."

The crack is the only way out.

But on the other side of the rift lies the realm of the gods, and we have never established any connection with the divine realm.

Qian Renxue lowered the holy sword, but did not sheath it: "Have you considered establishing contact with the divine realm?"

The creature looked at her: "Who will make this suggestion?"

Qian Renxue said, "We."

I am the Angel God, and these people standing before you are the God of Destruction, the Sea God, and the Dark Dragon King.

We have sufficient decision-making power to determine how wide the crack should be opened.

The creature was silent for a moment: "I need to communicate with higher levels."

This isn't something I can decide alone.

Ling Feng looked at it: "How long will it take you?"

The creature said, "One day."

If you are willing to wait, I can pass your proposal on to the higher-ups.

If you don't want to wait, you can choose to continue deeper into the area and see for yourselves.

Ling Feng said, "We'll wait here."
