Douluo Dragon King: Nine Dragons Break the Abyss

Chapter 357 Lao Liu
Satan?

The Great Emperor of a Thousand Ages is filled with questions.

This thing looks pretty high-end, but...

You only have two divine halos behind you, what are you pretending to be?!

When Lan Ji saw the two divine rings behind the Demon God, she breathed a sigh of relief.

The unknown is the scariest thing.

Lan Ji remained worried because she couldn't ascertain the true strength of the Demon God.

But now, with the veil lifted and the Demon God revealing his true power, all worries have vanished.

Two divine rings, not even a third-level deity, what makes you think you can act tough in front of me?
I endured the calm for a while, but took a step back and became more and more angry the more I thought about it.

Seeing the imposing Demon God, Lan Ji immediately took action.

A series of azure halos emanated from her body, and the aura of the ocean instantly spread across this lifeless planet.

For deities, the environment can no longer effectively constrain their power.

Even in places devoid of material things, the divine power within them can unleash their most powerful strength.

Without saying a word, Lan Ji waved her hand fiercely at Satan, and a huge wave instantly formed, a blue giant wave that seemed to dye the entire demon plane azure.

Huge waves!

This attack was not as simple as it seemed. Within the vast seawater lay the power of Lan Ji's own authority as the Sea God.

The Demon God looked at the seawater rushing towards Him with disdain in his eyes.

He calmly raised his hand, and a ball of pitch-black flame ignited in his palm.

The surrounding space was instantly melted by the terrifying energy the moment this ball of flame appeared, and the dark, chaotic energy made the flame in his hand even more eerie.

Hell fire!

A mocking smile curled at the corner of His lips. In His eyes, what appeared to be a magnificent attack was utterly ineffective against the hellfire He had nurtured for millennia…

As the raging waves and hellfire collided, Satan's expression suddenly changed.

Contrary to expectations, the demonic fire did not ignite the entire ocean. The moment they came into contact, the demonic fire in His hand was extinguished by what appeared to be just ordinary seawater!

The power of the supreme laws!
Satan, who had been investigating the path to advancement for many years, soon discovered the reason.

The opponent's power of law was clearly far superior to his—no, not just superior, but… utterly overwhelming!
Before Satan could continue thinking, the surging sea completely swallowed His entire body!
The force of the seawater's impact is nothing to Satan, who possesses a physical body.

The real attack comes from the power at the level of laws.

"what!!!"

Satan roared to the sky and instantly revealed his original form.

Even though there is an insurmountable gap between Him and Lan Ji now, the demon race's formidable defensive capabilities, coupled with Lan Ji's casual strike, still make it impossible for Him to deliver a fatal blow.

As the surging waves crashed to the ground, the massive amount of seawater directly altered the landscape of the Demon Realm, instantly forming a vast ocean on the surface.

Satan looked rather disheveled at the moment. His purple-gold scales were dull and lifeless, many of them were broken and damaged due to the erosion of the laws, the black flames on his wings had been extinguished, and his aura had weakened considerably.

The higher His prestige was before, the more swollen His face is now after being slapped.

"Hmph!" Lan Ji crossed her arms and snorted coldly, "I thought you had some skills? You're not even a third-level god, what right do you have to be so arrogant in front of me!"

Lan Ji no longer concealed her strength; five golden divine halos condensed behind her!
This is because the life level in Douluo Continent has degenerated, coupled with her own shallow foundation and relatively short time as the Sea God. Tang San still holds a portion of the Sea God's authority. Otherwise, Lan Ji could have become a first-level god!

In the vast universe, there are many races that worship the sea. After the Douluo Continent is pacified, Lan Ji can follow the example of the former Sea God, travel to various planes to collect the power of faith, and try to advance the position of the Sea God to a higher level!
When Satan saw the divine halo behind Lan Ji, his dark eyes almost popped out of their sockets.

There was a difference of three divine rings between the two!
"you you you……"

The god of demons stood there for a long time, but couldn't utter a single complete sentence.

The surviving demons, witnessing this scene, felt as if the sky had fallen.

The demon god, whom they believed should be invincible, was utterly powerless against these invaders!

The demon lords fell silent when they saw this scene.

Of course, Bo Gang is an exception.

She felt immense satisfaction when she saw the Demon God being beaten to a pulp, having passively sacrificed her own power.

Her twisted mindset caused her to lose all traces of awe for the Demon God, leaving resentment as her only emotion.

In fact, the demon lords are all looking for an opportunity to break through to the god level.

They tried different methods, but Bogang chose the most extreme one.

Unlike other demon lords, she did not split off her remaining power to form a completely new individual when she reached the limit of plane suppression.

Instead, it withstood the power of the plane's suppression and forcibly kept the power that was about to split within its body.

This did not lead to her breakthrough; instead, it made her body increasingly bloated, transforming her from the first fallen angel of the demon race into her current state.

Despite not being the strongest among all the demon lords, she is the one most likely to break through to the god level.

There is no God who is divided.

The great demon that split off from itself is ultimately a completely new individual with its own independent thought. The consequences of merging are endless.

This action rendered her almost useless during the divine sacrifice, making her the only demon at that moment who wished for the death of the Demon God.

Faced with the powerful divine aura emanating from Lan Ji, Satan felt immense pressure.

As a god of the earth, everything He has achieved is through His own exploration.

He did not know where God's supreme position lay, and could only take one step at a time, slowly groping forward.

He wanted to become stronger and wanted to see a higher level.

He has waited countless years to become stronger.

Therefore, He cannot die.

He has a reason to live.

At this moment, Satan seemed to have made a decision. He no longer held back, and his huge demonic claw made a grasping motion towards the ground below.

The entire demon plane seemed to freeze in time.

Apart from a few individuals like the Eternal Heavenly King, everything in the entire Demon Realm ceased to move.

Satan has the power over the entire demon plane!
He is the ruler of this plane, and everything here is under His control.

At this moment, what He needs to do is to gather the power of the entire plane together to provide Him with immense power!
This process takes very little time, only a dozen seconds. But for a battle between gods, that's enough time for Lan Ji to kill Satan hundreds of times over.

But this time, Qian Gu Qi Tian still stopped Lan Ji's actions.

His gaze remained fixed on Satan, and his perception had been elevated to its peak.

"Not quite right."

"Is something wrong?" Lan Ji asked, puzzled.

"This Satan's state...is not right..."

Through the power Satan had just emitted, Qian Gu Qi Tian sensed that something seemed off about this demon god.

As for what exactly is wrong, even Qian Gu Qi Tian couldn't quite put his finger on it.

"Go all out when you're done, don't hold back."

Qian Gu Qi Tian directly instructed.

This is indeed a bit strange. It's not worth it for the Great Equal to Heaven to make the people around him take risks for the sake of a plane of existence.

A conspiracy requires the power to carry it out.

Even if you, a mid-level plane, were to coalesce into an individual, how much strength would you have?

"it is good."

Lan Ji naturally had no objection to Qian Gu Qi Tian's words.

She did not act immediately, but waited for Satan to complete his final evolution.

Beneath them, the remaining demon bodies exploded, turning into streams of energy that returned to Satan's body.

The vast demon plane began to shrink gradually, collapsing directly into a dark sphere of energy.

The whole process was so fantastical that it was the first time that Qian Gu Qi Tian and his companions had ever seen such a scene.

A plane of existence can actually be transformed into a small ball...

The energy of the sphere is the core of the entire Demon Plane, or rather, this sphere is the Demon Plane itself.

At this moment, the group was no longer in the demon plane, but standing directly in the universe.

Various chaotic energies washed over their bodies, and extremely active time and space particles filled every corner of the universe.

It can be said that the universe is a blessed land for cultivators of time and space systems.

Of course, this is on the premise that you can withstand the impact of radiation and elemental storms in the universe.

Satan seized the dark ball and placed it on his chest. Soon, the energy ball entered his body.

Almost instantly, Satan's power underwent a qualitative leap.

The third divine ring, which had almost been formed earlier, appeared at this moment, followed by the fourth and fifth divine rings.

At this moment, Satan had also become a second-level deity.

Upon reaching the level of a second-tier deity, Satan's life underwent a qualitative transformation.

His body rose again, now reaching a thousand meters. The purple-gold scales on his body shimmered with dazzling luster once more, and the purple-gold patterns on his body became even more magnificent and mysterious. The pair of black flame wings behind him ignited space and time.

From the perspective of the entire universe, Satan's physical form is undoubtedly insignificant.

But for the likes of Qian Gu Qi Tian, ​​it was an immense challenge.

At this moment, Qian Gu Qi Tian finally realized that something was wrong with this demon god.

Damn it, this demon dimension is also a sixth-ranked entity.

Because just as the Demon God's energy sublimated, his soul was directly annihilated by a powerful force.

The only thing capable of doing this is the demonic plane core that Satan just swallowed.

How could a planet teeming with life give rise to a predator?

This is a paradox.

All of this is nothing more than a conspiracy within this dimension.

It is not that it was without intelligence; the plane consciousness of this plane had already been born before the birth of the Demon God.

Moreover, it has never been a life plane, but a plunder plane.

The signs of life appearing on the surface are merely remnants left behind when the God of Life and the God of Destruction attempted to conceive offspring.

At that time, it had not yet developed consciousness.

Its personality was determined the moment its consciousness awakened. In order to become more powerful, it gave birth to a demon god and used it to plunder all the life energy in its body.

Then, it made the Demon God the "Lord of the Planes," while it itself hid behind the scenes, silently controlling everything, all for the day when it could advance to a higher plane, or even a god-level plane!
It did this to evade the inspection of the divine realm.

Plundering a plane will definitely attract the attention of the divine realm, because the existence of such a plane is a hidden danger.

Extensive plundering would only disrupt the order of the universe and would be detrimental to the rule of the gods.

Similarly, there is the Abyss Plane, which is currently eyeing the Douluo Continent with covetous intent.

Therefore, at the very beginning of the birth of such a plane of consciousness, the divine realm would send out divine hunters to destroy it.

The only loophole is that the races born from the planet are not within the scope of extermination.

This is also the main reason why the consciousness of the Demon Plane would create a Demon God.

In the original plan, the consciousness of the plane would remain hidden behind the scenes, allowing Satan, who believed himself to be the master of the plane, to continuously supply it with the energy he had plundered, waiting for the day it would ascend to the realm of gods.

But, things went against our wishes.

The appearance of the group of people from the Age of Equals interrupted this plan, forcing it to reveal itself prematurely.

In other words, at this moment, what Qian Gu Qi Tian and his companions are facing is no longer a demonic plane, but a plane consciousness that is plundering a plane.

"Kid, it seems you already know something."

It was still Satan's voice, but this time the tone had become extremely unfamiliar and cold.

The Emperor Qitian raised an eyebrow:
"You must be the consciousness of this plane. I didn't expect you to be hiding so well, even creating a demon race to cover your tracks."

"Hmph." The plane's consciousness sneered. "A brat who knows nothing. Although you were born prematurely, the divine realm is no more, so I have nothing to fear!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the Demon God, controlled by the consciousness of the plane, grabbed at the void and held a dark red demon sword in his hand.

The giant sword was nearly a thousand meters long, almost the same length as the body of the demon god. The heavy sword had no edge, only pitch-black flames burning fiercely, as if it wanted to burn everything to ashes.

The Demon God slung the greatsword over his shoulder, looking down at the group of people, including Qian Gu Qi Tian, ​​with indifferent eyes.

It's not hard to tell from what this dimensional consciousness just said that it's hiding itself to avoid the divine realm. But why is it being so pretentious?

The Emperor Qitian frowned.

He hates it when people show off in front of him.

Just as Lan Ji was about to make her move, Leng Yulai, who was standing to the side, couldn't sit still any longer.

"Hmph, let me see what your fire is all about!"
