Chapter 964 (2/2)
”The emperors of the middle 36 levels are comparable to our Hyper Douluos, so they're also quite manageable. However, the emperors of the final 36 levels are all comparable or even superior to human Limit Douluo. In particular, the abyssal emperors of the final 18 levels are all demiG.o.d, and the emperor on the 108th level possesses power that's infinitely approaching that of a true G.o.d.
”The energy of the abyssal plane exists in a special state that's completely different from the natural energies of our continent. To them, the natural energies in our world can be converted by them through devouring life force energy, thereby bolstering their entire plane. However, there's nothing useful to us in the abyssal plane. Otherwise, the federation could potentially agree to mobilize a ma.s.sive army to wage war against the abyssal plane, but there are no benefits to be reaped from doing that, so the federation has a.s.signed our Blood G.o.d Legion the task of guarding the abyssal pa.s.sageway.
”The energy in the 108 abyssal levels is conserved, which means that all of the energy within the abyssal plane adds up to a certain sum. That sum can't be easily changed, and if it decreases, they have to replenish it through absorbing energy from the outside world. This energy from the outside world that I'm referring to is similar to our life force energy. Hence, after this plane became connected to our world, the abyssal creatures have constantly been trying to invade us in order to elevate the total amount of energy within their plane.
”In a sense, you can think of the abyssal plane as a complete life form, and those abyssal creatures are only its cells. Following cell death, the energy will be recycled to create new cells, and that's what makes the abyssal plane truly terrifying. We can kill abyssal creatures all we want, but we can't truly destroy them. The Abyssal Demon Monarch and the Enchantress Empress that attacked you today are all ultrpowerful abyssal beings from the last 36 levels. They're affected by the seal in the abyssal pa.s.sageway, so they can only project a small portion of their power into this world. Otherwise, there's no way that Blood Eight would've stood a chance against them.
”As things currently are, only the abyssal emperors on the first 36 levels can descend upon our world in their complete forms, but with me here, those abyssal emperors wouldn't dare to come to our world for no good reason. After all, even though they can be revived, the revival process is an extremely lengthy one. Every time I venture into the abyssal plane, my objective is to kill as many powerful abyssal beings as possible in order to buy more time for us.”It's a good thing that the most powerful beings among our human race were able to complete the seal over 6,000 years ago. Otherwise, if the abyssal emperors of the last 36 levels had descended upon our world, we would've faced almost certain annihilation. Human soul technology may be advancing very quickly, but it's still not at a level where it can contend with the power of the abyssal plane.
Tang Wulin drew a sharp breath upon hearing this. There were 108 abyssal emperors?! He finally understood why the Heartless Douluo was so determined to stay here and guard this place. Without a powerful being like him holding things together, the likelihood of the abyssal pa.s.sageway seal being broken would inevitably increase, and that would result in a disaster of unprecedented proportions that could even spell the end of the entire world! That was not something that could be allowed to happen.
”What I'm thinking about now is whether you'll be able to completely destroy the abyssal energy of the 108 abyssal emperors by killing them with your Golden Dragon Spear. In that case, they won't be able to resurrect themselves. According to my knowledge, the cores of each of the 108 abyssal levels are none other than their respective emperors, so if an emperor truly dies, then there's a very good chance that the entire abyssal level that they rule over will be destroyed along with all of the abyssal creatures on that level. If that can work, then we'll potentially be able to eradicate the threat of the abyssal plane once and for all.
”However, the prerequisite for this is that you have to be powerful enough to accomplish this. The final 18 of the 108 emperors are all more powerful than I am, and they've already noticed you. Hence, if you were to venture into the abyssal pa.s.sageway, an all-out a.s.sault will most likely be directed at you, and they won't rest until you're killed, so I can't allow you to take any risks. On this side of the pa.s.sageway, the seal will restrict all of the more powerful abyssal emperors, so I'm confident in my ability to protect you. However, if we go to the other side, even I won't be able to guarantee your safety.”
A faint smile appeared on the Heartless Douluo's face, and he continued, ”Hence, the responsibility on your shoulders will only grow heavier from here. If you can also become a Limit Douluo in the future, you'll at least be able to protect yourself, and when that time comes, I hope you can venture deep into the abyssal plane with me. Together, we'll try and kill the 108 abyssal emperors and completely eradicate this threat to the continent.”
A hint of shock appeared in Tang Wulin's face, and a surge of battle intent also welled up in his heart. If he could kill the 108 abyssal emperors and absorb all of their energy, breaking his future Golden Dragon King seals could become a simple task.
However, just a portion of the Black Empress's energy alone was enough to transform his blood essence vortex into a dragon core; how enormous would the energy of the 108 abyssal emperors be?
The Heartless Douluo continued, ”Of course, you're nowhere near powerful enough to set that plan into motion for now, but at the very least, I see hope for the future in you. If you can reach my cultivation level someday, then there's a very good chance that you'll be able to kill some abyssal emperors with your Golden Dragon Spear. In doing so, you'll at least be intimidating them so that they'd have to think twice about invading our world.”
Tang Wulin nodded in response. If he could accomplish that feat someday, then it would definitely be immensely beneficial to himself as well.
