Douluo Dragon King: Nine Dragons Break the Abyss

Chapter 364 Terror Descends

Finally, Tang Hao ended his communication with the Abyss Saint with a livid face.

The instant that smug face disappeared, Tang Hao gritted his teeth and said:
"Damn insects, once that damned Qitian is dead, I'll show you what true cruelty is!!!"

His grandson, Tang Wulin, still has the last chance to strike left by Tang San, which will be his opportunity to turn the tide.

If things had gone according to his son's original plan, things wouldn't have turned out so badly.

Even a mighty Haotian Douluo wouldn't let a mere insect attack him head-on!
"Damn you, the Great Sage Equal to Heaven! After you die, I will devour your flesh and drink your blood!!!"

Ah Yin, standing to the side, looked at Tang Hao, who seemed to have fallen into madness, with some worry.

She had a bad feeling...

"I hope... everything goes well."

Ah Yin could only console herself with this thought.

The entire Douluo Star seemed to be shrouded in an eerie atmosphere.

Within the Sun and Moon Federation, the hawks who once clamored for the military conquest of the Star Luo and Dou Ling continents have almost fallen silent; while the doves who waved the banner of peace have not been idle either, and during this time they seem to be cutting ties with the Tang Sect and Shrek Academy, whose power is waning; the Star Luo Empire is thriving, and everyone is working hard for the great revival of the empire; the Dou Ling Empire is experiencing a fanatical religious movement, and the entire empire, from top to bottom, is permeated with a kind of madness, as if it were the last carnival before the end of the world.

With the most powerful Sun Moon Federation remaining silent and the other two great empires lacking the strength to challenge its authority, Douluo Star seemed to have entered another period of peace.

However, it is clear to everyone that the Douling Empire will inevitably be the first to run into problems.

In the imperial palace of the Douling Empire in Tiandou City, Douling Continent.

Emperor Xue Yuntian is having a private meeting with his maternal grandfather, Xiao Zhan.

Xue Yuntian handed the secret letter he was holding to Xiao Zhan, and said with great concern:
"Grandpa, the Holy Spirit Cult... seems to have slipped out of our control..."

The secret letter contained a summary of intelligence gathered by the emperor's personal guards.

After quickly skimming through the contents, Xiao Zhan sighed and said:

“Hey Yun Tian, ​​Lao Wang and I advised you before that those evil soul masters of the Holy Spirit Cult are not so easy to use.”

"I know..." Thinking of this, Xue Yuntian became somewhat annoyed, and he gritted his teeth as he spoke.

"Damn Dark Blood Demon, how dare you toy with me!!!"

They had previously agreed that the Douling Empire would regard the Holy Spirit Sect as its guardian deity, while the Dark Blood Demon would secretly do three things for Xue Yuntian.

The Douling Empire fulfilled its agreement as scheduled, while the Dark Blood Demon outwardly complied with the three annual tasks but inwardly defied them.

The first time, Xue Yuntian sent someone to summon him to the palace to receive a mission, which was also counted as a request by the Dark Blood Demon!
That's not even the worst part. The previous times, although the Dark Blood Demon would find loopholes, he always kept his promise.

However, starting last year, the Holy Spirit Cult has gained more and more influence in the Douling Empire, and they no longer take him, the emperor of the Douling Empire, seriously!

They would delay doing what they promised, and if they couldn't delay it any longer, they would just hand over a corpse to get by.

Xue Yuntian was helpless in the face of this.

Even though he harbored many grievances, he dared not vent them in front of the Dark Blood Demon.

In front of a Limit Douluo, Xue Yuntian's safety was not guaranteed at all.

Each time, he could only suppress his anger and vent it in the inner palace.

In the past two years, he has beaten three concubines and several palace maids to death.

The current Douling Empire is a scene of utter chaos and depravity.

The hopeless lower classes almost universally embraced the Asura God Cult, while the decadent aristocracy, along with the Holy Spirit Cult, made no attempt to conceal their admiration and yearning for its immense power.

Evil Soul Masters with strength above the Contra Douluo level are almost always honored guests of several noble families.

They did whatever they pleased with the women of noble families.

The nobles who wanted to take advantage of the situation were all greeted with smiles.

The most absurd case involved four generations of a family, from an elderly noblewoman to a six-year-old girl, serving the same person...

Simply because he was a Title Douluo!
In the Douluo Continent, how could a Title Douluo receive such treatment?!
But this is the Douling Continent.

In the entire empire, there are no more than twenty titled Douluo!

The lower classes are fanatical, the upper classes are decadent; the country is utterly lifeless!

Emperor Xue Yuntian had already sensed the impending doom of his kingdom.

"Grandpa, do you think... I... will really be the ruler who brings about the downfall of a kingdom?"

Xue Yuntian's eyes were vacant, and he had completely lost his energy and spirit.

The Douling Empire has already been destroyed once. They were driven out of the Sun and Moon Federation and fled here.

Xue Yuntian has always been an ambitious young man.

When he first ascended the throne, he was full of vigor and wanted to revive the Douling Empire. He even thought about carrying on the legacy of his predecessors, leading a fierce army to conquer the Sun and Moon Federation, revive the Douling Empire, return to the old capital of Tiandou, and become the restorer of the Douling Empire!

But reality dealt him blow after blow, gradually forcing the passionate young man to accept the cold truth.

"Yun Tian, ​​this isn't your fault. The Douling Empire... is a piece of shit."

Xiao Zhan simply stopped pretending.

As a top nobleman, he was fully aware of the absurd chaos in Tiandou City today.

Those nobles who were forced to flee in the past have long forgotten the pain of losing their country. They have moved to another place and continued to live their aristocratic lives as superior people, without any ambition.

Ironically, these very people are the foundation of the Douling Empire.

What kind of talents can emerge from such a melting pot?
"Hehehe..."

After a self-deprecating laugh, Xue Yuntian suddenly sprang to his feet, overturning the imperial desk in front of him. His eyes were bloodshot and filled with rage.
"I am by no means a ruler who will bring about the downfall of his country; it is those treacherous ministers who will bring about the downfall of their nation!!!"

His voice echoed in the dimly lit, secret room.

Only Xiao Zhan was listening...

Suddenly, the ground seemed to tremble slightly.

Xue Yuntian, who was about to continue venting his emotions, was also stunned.

Xiao Zhan frowned, a bad feeling suddenly creeping into his heart.

Sure enough, almost instantly, the entire palace began to tremble.

earthquake!

This was Xue Yuntian's first reaction.

But soon, the whole idea was overturned.

Dark red rays crawled all over Xue Yuntian's body, and these rays combined to form a very strange pattern.

Xiao Zhan was shocked. He was about to step forward to check on Xue Yuntian, whose body had suddenly changed, but the next moment, his pupils suddenly contracted.

He could feel an extremely powerful force within his body, as if it were about to burst forth.

Xiao Zhan dared not harbor any illusions. He quickly sat cross-legged and began to stabilize his body.

Can--

"Bang!" A crisp sound rang out, and the powerful level 97 Super Douluo was instantly turned into a cloud of blood mist.

As for Xue Yuntian, his body had already exploded long before Xiao Zhan could even pay attention to him.

This scenario isn't limited to just this secret room.

The entire palace, the entire inner city, the entire city, and even the entire continent were witnessing this extremely bizarre scene.

All of this happened almost simultaneously; tens of millions of lives across the entire continent perished in mere seconds.

Among them, not only the people of the Douling Empire, but also the Spirit Transmission Tower, the Tang Sect, and even the Holy Spirit Cult were all affected.

Everything happened so fast, so fast that there was no time to react.

The Dark Blood Demon, the seemingly ruler, also died in this sudden turn of events.

He never understood why he had become nourishment for others, even until his death.

A violent tremor occurred; a terrifying earthquake unfolded on this desolate continent. No one died in the earthquake, whether that was fortunate or unfortunate is unknown.

Ever since the Ghost Emperor had a God-Slaying Soul Guidance Cannonball stolen by Qian Gu Qi Tian, ​​the suspicious Ghost Emperor had pondered for a long time, feeling that something was amiss.

Unable to figure out the reason, he simply adopted the most conservative approach—any high-ranking official who had contact with Qian Gu Qitian was prohibited from participating in high-level decision-making.

The Underworld Emperor has secretly become the sole decision-maker of the Holy Spirit Cult.

Moreover, the method of transmitting this secret was also encrypted by the Ghost Emperor, so ordinary people could not tell that power had been transferred within the Holy Spirit Cult.

Although Lan Ji was able to monitor the Ghost Emperor, she could not fathom his thoughts. This old man, whose caution was ingrained in his very bones, had even deceived himself.

The cooperation between the Holy Spirit Cult and the Abyss Plane has never ceased.

Especially after discussing with Tang Hao the joint task of killing Qian Gu Qi Tian, ​​the Abyss Saint Lord also made a special contact with the traitors on the Douluo Continent side.

The Blood River God-Slaying Array had already been set up, but the sacrificial materials were not provided by the Holy Spirit Cult, but were made by the Abyss Saint King himself.

Otherwise, no one could refine an entire continent in an instant!

The earth's crust on the Douling Continent is in violent motion. From the sky, a large array filled with bloodthirsty energy can be seen slowly emerging.

On a desolate continent, Qian Gu Dongfeng stood silently in the air, gazing at the Blood River God-Slaying Array beneath him, his eyes devoid of any spirit.

At this moment, Qian Gu Dongfeng is the only living person on the Douling Continent.

"God-level... I'm here, Father. I will prove to you that I am right."

Floating in the air, Qian Gu Dong Feng slowly closed his eyes, his body gradually sinking into the Blood River God-Slaying Array below, allowing the scarlet energy to envelop him.

The entire continent trembled. Stepping outside the perspective of Douluo Continent and observing from the universe, one could clearly see that a purple plane, like a rootless duckweed, had already been attached to the Douluo Continent plane.

With the Blood River God-Slaying Array and the tacit approval of Tang Hao, the ruler of this plane, the abyss passage reopened, and the shattered earth was immediately swallowed by a purple aura.

This passage has no restrictions whatsoever; all creatures from the Abyss can descend upon this realm, including… the Abyss Saint!
The Abyss Saint King, seated on the Abyss Throne, had already sensed the rich life force emanating from the Douluo Continent plane on the other side of the passage.

He took a deep breath, his face filled with a look of rapture.

"Mmm...what a wonderful world!!!"

Soon, you will belong to me!

The Abyss Saint King made no attempt to hide his greed. In his eyes, Tang Hao, who guided the Abyss Plane to get closer to the Douluo Continent, was undoubtedly a fool!
Tang Hao frowned slightly as he sensed the loss of energy within his body.

But he remained unmoved.

This is the grand gift he prepared for the eternal glory of the Heavenly Emperor.

His inner world was far less calm than he appeared on the surface.

Having staked everything on this, he couldn't afford to lose.

How humiliating that agreement was.

Because he used the Abyss Saint King to eliminate Qian Gu Qi Tian, ​​Tang Hao paid off with a quarter of the life force of the Douluo Continent!

This is like adding insult to injury for the Douluo Continent at present.

But this was just the beginning, because later on, the Abyss Plane would be able to plunder life energy from the Douluo Continent Plane for a month. How much they could steal depended on their abilities.

When the time comes, you have to get out.

In fact, both sides knew perfectly well that this was not an agreement, but an absurd treaty that could be torn up at any time.

There is no such thing as win-win cooperation; there is only a zero-sum game.

The enormous changes on the Douling Continent directly affected the entire planet.

The Douluo Continent and the Star Luo Continent, thousands of miles away, both felt the shock.

After all, this is a collision between two dimensions!

It was evening when Qian Gu Qi Tian, ​​who was at home with his wife, suddenly stood up.

A bad feeling suddenly arose in his heart.

It's obvious that something happened on the Douling Continent.

Lan Ji frowned and said:
"The Dark Blood Demon... has lost contact."

Leng Yulai looked left at Qian Gu Qitian and right at Lan Ji, her eyes filled with confusion.

Leng Yaozhu, however, expressed her concern:
"Did something happen?"

The Great Equal to Heaven spoke up to comfort them:

"Don't worry, it shouldn't be anything serious. I'll go with Lan Ji to take a look. You two stay home and take good care of yourselves."

Without further ado, Qian Gu Qi Tian, ​​along with Nanali and Lan Ji, disappeared from the villa.

Seeing Qian Gu Qitian leave in a hurry, Leng Yaozhu frowned.

She felt that her pregnancy had come at a very bad time.

"Hey, sister, there's no use worrying. You should take good care of yourself so Xiaotian won't worry so much."

Leng Yulai offered words of comfort.

She takes it all in stride; worrying now is useless. What she needs to do is protect the hope in her womb for the sake of the eternal Qitian.

"Ok, I know."

Leng Yaozhu slowly sat down, touching her belly, her expression slightly disappointed.

Yali sat to the side, her small fists clenched tightly, seemingly deep in thought.

Before heading to the Douling Continent, Qian Gu Qi Tian also visited the land of the Qian Gu Clan.

We're currently short-handed, so having more top-tier combat power would provide more security.

As for their home, although Leng Yaozhu and Leng Yulai are pregnant, they are not someone that just anyone can covet.

Qian Gu Die Ting also sensed the huge changes that had occurred in the Douluo Continent. He stepped out of his room and happened to bump into Qian Gu Qi Tian, ​​who had come looking for him.

The grandfather and grandson wasted no time; they simply exchanged glances, nodded, and then the four of them flew towards the Douling Continent.
