Douluo Dragon King: Nine Dragons Break the Abyss

Chapter 363 The Lord of the Planes and the Holy Monarch of the Abyss

After Tang Wulin's identity as "Tang San's son" was fully confirmed, he received preferential treatment in all cultivation resources from the Tang Sect and Shrek Academy.

Even a starved camel is bigger than a horse; the millennia-old foundations of the two organizations prevented them from being completely destroyed in a devastating disaster.

The massive amounts of Federal Currency stored in Shrek Academy's multiple secret accounts were exchanged for various precious natural treasures and rare medicinal herbs; while on the Tang Sect's side, Cao Dezhi personally went to the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well, disregarding the agreement with these immortal herbs, and directly took away all the ferocious beast-level immortal herbs, leaving only the roots.

Over the past two years, Tang Wulin's strength has greatly improved.

Possessing the bloodline of the Golden Dragon King, he has immense potential. With the support of a vast amount of cultivation resources, he is already a Title Douluo at less than twenty years old.

The Golden Dragon King bloodline within his body has been digested and absorbed to the fourteenth level, giving him a full seven Qi and Blood Soul Rings.

During this period, Tang San intervened once.

He used the Sea God bloodline that belonged to him within Tang Wulin to cleanse Tang Wulin's body from head to toe.

Otherwise, the power of the Golden Dragon King's bloodline within the fourteen layers of seals would be enough to burst Tang Wulin's small body.

Bearing the title of "Son of the God King" and taking it upon himself to revive the Tang Sect and Shrek Academy, Tang Wulin's personality has become much more composed.

The older Tang Wulin got, the more he understood how terrifying his opponents were.

He has only one opponent, of course.

That is the Spirit Pagoda Group, headed by Qian Gu Qi Tian.

This organization, founded by his brother-in-law, Spirit Ice Douluo Huo Yuhao, to resolve conflicts between humans and soul beasts, has long since deviated from its original purpose.

When Shrek Academy and Tang Sect suffered annihilation, the Spirit Pagoda remained unscathed, making people suspect something fishy was going on.

As for the story of the Great Sage Equaling Heaven saving millions of people in Shrek City, Tang Wulin perceived it as a conspiracy to plunder Shrek Academy and the Tang Sect's foundation.

The Spirit Pagoda is now at its zenith, making Tang Wulin feel suffocated by its power.

According to the intelligence gathered by the Tang Sect over the past two years, besides the publicly known Qian Gu Die Ting who has become a god, there are at least two other god-level powerhouses in the Douluo Continent who have not made a public appearance.

God-level...

Although those at this level are powerful, Tang Wulin is confident that one day he will be able to reach that level as well.

After a day of rigorous training, Tang Wulin stepped out of his room and onto the balcony.

He gazed at the distant sunset, his eyes slightly narrowed.

Could the afterglow of the setting sun be Shrek Academy and Tang Sect?

Father, can I really do it?
Tang Wulin began his daily self-reflection session.

His strength grew ever greater, but he was not happy at all.

His understanding was actually quite confused.

Under the influence of Cai Yue'er's hatred, the Spirit Pagoda has become an entity that sits at the same table as the Holy Spirit Cult.

This aligns with the current views of the Tang Sect and Shrek Academy regarding the Spirit Pagoda.

However, according to her adoptive parents, Tang Ziran and Lang Yue, the Spirit Pagoda didn't seem so bad.

This is similar to the public's opinion of the Spirit Pagoda on the Soul Network.

Tang Wulin had once expressed the same doubt to Cai Yue'er.

But the response she received was Cai Yue'er's anger.

The content is roughly about how the Spirit Pagoda deceives the people, appearing great and glorious on the surface, but secretly engaging in illicit activities such as theft and prostitution.

Unlike the Shrek Academy of the past, which was always upright, unconventional, and chivalrous, this school is different.

Tang Wulin's disbelief in their words, and his subsequent trust in the misled masses, was utterly foolish.

Tang Wulin, who had been scolded, never asked a similar question again.

Because he had already agreed to help Cai Yue'er kill Qian Gu Qi Tian.

This was done to obtain Cai Yue'er's promise, and it also contained Tang Wulin's own little scheme.

"What are you thinking about?"

A somewhat cold voice sounded from behind.

Tang Wulin turned around, a gentle smile appearing on his face:

"Dean, you've arrived."

Upon hearing Tang Wulin's address, Cai Yue'er frowned slightly, but made no attempt to correct him.

This was the title she gave to Tang Wulin.

Back then, Cai Yue'er's heart was completely devoted to Yun Ming.

The affectionate nickname "Moon" is unique to Yunming.

Tang Wulin was nothing more than a tool for revenge that she obtained by using her body.

But after spending the last few years together, she felt that doing this was somewhat cruel to Tang Wulin.

She wanted to improve the relationship between the two of them.

At least, don't be as blatant as before.

She was Tang Wulin's tool for venting his desires, while Tang Wulin was her tool for avenging Yun Ming.

Although this mutually beneficial relationship was simple and clear, Cai Yue'er found it somewhat difficult to accept at this time.

Even a dog can develop feelings after being together for a long time. Let alone a person who shares a bed with you.

Thinking of this, Cai Yue'er's coldness faded a bit, and a touch of gentleness appeared between her brows.

"Thank you for your hard work these days."

Tang Wulin's face showed a slightly surprised expression.

These were words of concern he had never heard from Cai Yue'er before.

Tang Wulin knew that in Cai Yue'er's eyes, his past hard work in cultivation was all taken for granted.

To fulfill the agreement between the two, Tang Wulin must possess sufficiently powerful strength.

But today...

"It's not hard."

Tang Wulin was very happy to receive Cai Yue'er's care.

After all, it was each other's first time with Cai Yue'er, even though neither of them had their hearts with each other.

However, if Cai Yue'er is willing to play the role of a wife by his side, Tang Wulin is still very willing to accept it.

“Sigh~” Cai Yue’er sighed and said, “Wu Lin, you don’t have to push yourself so hard. We all know that defeating the Spirit Pagoda is not something that can be done overnight. The gap between us and them now cannot be bridged by you becoming stronger alone. There’s no need to carry everything on your own shoulders.”

Tang Wulin smiled bitterly: "Dean, we have no way out."

"Yes, we have no way out..."

Cai Yue'er murmured, a bitter feeling flashing through her heart.

"By the way, Dean, how's the secret contact with the Temple of War going?"

Tang Wulin seemed to suddenly remember something.

"The other party's attitude was ambiguous."

Speaking of this, Cai Yue'er felt helpless.

The truth about the disaster that occurred more than two years ago was no secret to the Temple of War.

Those war gods from Shrek Academy made the same choice as the vast majority of inner court disciples who were saved by the legendary Qitian.

Yun Ming misjudged the situation, and Tang Hao's rash move completely ruined the great opportunity for Shrek Academy, Tang Sect, and the Temple of War to unite against the Spirit Pagoda.

Chen Xinjie naturally agreed with this. However, he couldn't ignore the opinions of the other war gods and act unilaterally.

But don't forget, the legendary master craftsman was also a master craftsman.

No one wants to offend a master craftsman.

Moreover, he was a divine craftsman who had a great affinity for the Temple of War.

Have you not seen that Emperor Sword Douluo Long Tianwu and Divine Sword Douluo Su Mengjun have already obtained four-word battle armor?
Chen Xinjie is highly respected in the Temple of War, but if he disregards the interests of his subordinates and acts arbitrarily, he will eventually become disloyal and end up being betrayed by everyone.

The war gods respect you, Chen Xinjie, but you, Chen Xinjie, cannot disregard the interests of all of us.

Guan Yue, a former direct descendant of Shrek Academy, was caught in the middle, making the situation extremely difficult.

His personality destined him to be nothing more than a nice guy.

"but--"

Cai Yue'er changed her tone,
"Wu Lin, news has come from the Lord of the Planes that he is planning something big and we should wait for the right opportunity."

"grandfather?"

Tang Wulin frowned.

He had a bad feeling about it.

Tang Wulin's premonition was correct.

His grandfather, Tang Hao, the master of the plane, is currently doing something that "defies the world"!

He intends to use the power of the Abyss Plane to eliminate the hidden danger of the Eternal Qitian!

The primary and secondary contradictions have long since shifted, and the eternal Qitian has become a major concern.

If this problem isn't resolved, even if the Abyss Plane is swallowed up, causing the Douluo Star Plane to be elevated, it will only be a wedding dress for the eternal Qitian.

This is something Tang Hao doesn't want to see.

As for potential risks...

Tang Hao was now a gambler at his wit's end. With bloodshot eyes, he could only throw his life and the safety of the entire plane onto the gambling table and start going all in!
If the legendary Qitian knew this, he would only have a look of utter confusion.

"Using foreign barbarians to quell internal rebellions"? You're a fucking genius.

Tang Hao, the master of the plane, was fully aware of what was happening in secret on the Douling Continent.

All the actions the Holy Spirit Cult is currently taking on the Douling Continent are preparations for the Abyss Plane to invade the Douluo Plane.

The Douling Continent is not the core of the plane. Opening a passage from here would have both advantages and disadvantages for the Abyss Plane.

The advantage is its simplicity; the dimensional resistance here is weaker than that in the Douluo Continent.

The drawback is also obvious: it cannot replenish enough energy in time to support their cross-border invasion.

Unfortunately, the Douling Continent is extremely barren, and even with the addition of the sea spirit beasts in the surrounding seas, it can only barely make up for some of the losses from opening up the dimensional passage.

This level of passage is far superior to the dimensional passages that Qian Gu Qi Tian could casually construct to pass through a few people.

The amount of energy required is astronomical.

As for Douluo Continent... the last attempt caused the Abyss Plane to suffer huge losses.

This forced the Abyss Saint to devour several low-level plane blood packs that he had been eyeing before he could barely replenish the energy he had lost.

Tang Hao didn't waste any time. He sent a communication invitation directly to the Abyss Dimension, which was secretly building a dimensional channel.

The Abyss Saint, who was resting with his eyes closed and dreaming of a bright future, was startled by this sudden communication link.

Subconsciously, he wanted to take the entire Abyss Plane and escape into the depths of the universe.

There was no other way; having gotten used to being a rat in the sewers, once the righteous people set their sights on them, they had no choice but to run.

If you run too slowly, you could lose your life.

But the Abyss Saint King quickly realized that the God Realm was no longer there, so what was there for him to be afraid of?

Having calmed down somewhat, the Abyss Saint King directly established communication using his divine sense, and Tang Hao's illusory figure appeared in front of him.

"Oh? The Lord of the Douluo Continent plane has arrived~"

The Abyss Saint's tone carried three parts disrespect, three parts jest, three parts teasing, and a hidden sense of taboo.

The Abyss Saint King was naturally curious that the ruler of the Douluo Continent plane, a high-level plane he had been focusing on invading, had taken the initiative to contact him.

In the original timeline, if he hadn't acted so hastily, he wouldn't have ruined such a promising situation.

Mingming believed that once the Abyss Plane and the Douluo Continent Plane were completely merged, his true form would be able to descend upon the Douluo Continent. As the Abyss Saint King, possessing the strength of a first-level god, he could directly unleash his power on the Douluo Continent.

Even if Tang San intervenes, so what?

If he hadn't been in a less than peak condition at the time, and hadn't been using the body of the Demon Emperor, a god-level being, he wouldn't have been killed by Tang Hao's lightning tribulation, with only his remnant soul attached to his super artifact, the Heavenly Saint Rift Abyss Halberd.

Tang Hao stared coldly at the Abyss Saint, his heart filled with humiliation.

If he weren't a peerless genius, how could he have fallen to this state!

"I've come to see you because there are some things I'd like to discuss with you."

"Oh? Tell me about it~"

The Abyss Saint King became interested.

He had a feeling that this would be an opportunity.

Tang Hao seemed to see through the Abyss Saint's thoughts. He put his hands behind his back and said calmly:
"I know you've always wanted to invade Douluo Continent, and what you're after is nothing more than the life energy on Douluo Continent."

"But you also know in your heart that Douluo Continent is protected by the God Realm, and you don't know in your heart when that God Realm will return, right?"

The Abyss Saint's dark eyes were calm and expressionless, but his heart was filled with great horror.

If it chooses to devour the Douluo Continent, then before it has completely digested the entire plane, the Abyss Plane will not be able to drift freely in the universe as before.

If the vanished divine realm were to return during this period, he, the Abyss Saint King, would definitely be doomed here.

Tang Hao smiled confidently:
"We're both sensible people, so I'll make things clear to you right here. I've come here to discuss a business deal with you."

Upon hearing this, the Abyss Saint King suddenly laughed.

"Haha, you, Lord of this plane, are quite interesting. You actually came to talk business with someone like me who wants to devour your plane."

Those previous words were merely Tang Hao adding leverage to his upcoming negotiations.

only……

What good is it if he eloquently utters eloquent words?

The facts are clear: he had something to ask of the Abyss Saint King!
Those who have needs are lucky if they don't get ripped off.

"Hmph, I don't care, but you should understand that I came to find you to eliminate a common enemy of ours."

The Abyss Saint King sat up straight:

"Since you've come seeking cooperation, then, Lord of the Planes, let me hear your demands."

After listening to Tang Hao's account, the Abyss Saint King fell silent.

But soon, the Abyss Saint King returned to his carefree and irreverent ways.

The Eternal Qitian was indeed his greatest enemy in the Abyss.

It is necessary to get rid of this person.

But now, with even greater benefits to be gained, how could the Abyss Saint King possibly let it go?

"We need to discuss this slowly."
