Chapter 1757: The Hopeless Situation

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

The Darkness Bell giggled in the sky. She did not bother to chase after Guo Zhenfeng because the abyssal creatures were worthless to her. The death of this powerhouse would save her energy. She would not need to risk endangering herself anymore. What else could be more pleasing than that?

The Northern Army Corps’ soldiers realized that they had reached a life and death situation. Everyone perked up at once. Despite knowing that the soul weapons in their hands could possibly explode from overuse at any moment, they continued to unleash their attacks.

Guo Zhenfeng made a perfect display of his powerful attacking ability. Wherever he passed, damage ensued in his path.

Even the Ba Ans were incapable of withstanding his full force strike. He wreaked total havoc throughout the battlefield. A large number of abyssal creatures had fallen under the attack of his Blight Mountain Axe.

Still, he was fighting even more abyssal creatures despite this. It felt as if there was an endless supply of these creatures as they continued to surge into existence ceaselessly.

On the other hand, the abyssal plane did not care about the deaths of the low-rank abyssal creatures. After all, the dead creatures would turn into abyssal energy which was then recycled. The lower the rank of the abyssal creature, the faster its resurrection would be. The situation would recover almost instantly.

For the abyssal creatures, the most important part of their mission was to seize the opportunity to devour the Douluo Continent’s life force. They could even acquire the life force which they loved very much from the plants.

The abyssal plane could evolve into a Divine Realm-ranked entity directly if it devoured a main plane like the entire Douluo Plane. Moreover, it would evolve to more than an ordinary Divine Realm. It would be a powerful, complete Divine Realm which was as superior as the original Douluo Divine Realm.

By then, they would break free from its geographical restriction and acquire the ability to hunt in the cosmos. They could strengthen themselves by devouring the life force available in the cosmos. It was the grand dream of the abyssal Sage King.

On the other hand, the Holy Spirit Cult wanted to acquire the death energy. It did not conflict with the abyssal plane’s interest at all. Hence, if both parties were to achieve divine ranks, the abyssal plane would have no interest in the Holy Spirit Cult at all. This ensured that both parties would live in harmony.

Hence, the great conspiracy was launched after the Holy Spirit Cult and the abyssal plane had multiple discussions.

They shared the same goal of destroying the entire Douluo Planet. At the same time, the Holy Spirit Cult had the opportunity to create their Divine Realm.

The enormous amount of life force contained on a planet would produce an enormous amount of destructive energy when all forms of life on the planet ceased. Life force and destructive energy were complementary.

More powerful abyssal creatures lurked behind in even larger numbers. The passage was already opened, but it was suppressed by the main plane just like the abyssal passage which was guarded by the Blood God Army. How difficult was it to open a passage like this? The more powerful the abyssal creatures were, the more severe the suppression was from the main plane. The abyssal creatures needed even more energy to support the passage.

Therefore, both the Holy Spirit Cult and the abyssal plane channeled more energy into opening the passage. Once the passage was stabilized, the entire abyss could descend to the Douluo plane. The Holy Spirit Cult would make sure that the Douluo plane was incapable of resisting at all.

One should know that the abyssal Sage King was a true God. Furthermore, it rivaled the rank-1 God from the Divine Realm in the past!

When the Douluo Continent was under the protection of the Divine Realm, the abyssal Sage King did not have the courage to behave recklessly at all. In fact, it dared not even reveal its aura. After all, the abyssal plane was loathed by all intelligent life forms. If their exact location were discovered by the Douluo Divine Realm in the past, they would certainly be destroyed at once.

They lay in dormancy for many years. At long last, the Douluo Divine Realm vanished. The abyssal plane could not refrain itself anymore and attempted to link to the Douluo plane. Later, it achieved great success during its first invasion. The abyssal plane had been drooling in anticipation for such a rich, lively planet for a very long time.

Currently, the second passage was opened once again. The abyssal Sage King was fully prepared to completely devour the entire Douluo Planet and turned it into a part of its body.

The Darkness Bell set out in advance to make arrangements. She tried to absorb as much destructive energy as she could. The number of abyssal creatures was exceedingly large. So, the most important task was to secure the strategic location first. It was equally important for them to create chaos and divert attention away from the Douluo Federation.

Hence, they must break through the defense line ahead as soon as possible. Then, they could make their way to the deeper parts of the continent.

The Douluo Continent was a vast territory with abundant resources. Even the most ordinary abyssal creatures could easily hunt down the ordinary human beings when the abyssal creatures dispersed into the area. By then, not only more destructive energy would be produced, but the life force would be further devoured by the abyssal creatures. This would then affect the entire Douluo plane’s existence.

The plane would grow weaker which would, in turn, reduce the suppression of the abyssal creatures. Under such circumstances, the effort to devour the entire planet would then be much easier.

Thus, there were many things that needed to be controlled at once. Otherwise, when things got out of hand, it would be like an outbreak of a pandemic disease. The abyssal creatures which appeared on the Douluo Continent, at present, were akin to a terrible plague.

Guo Zhenfeng had been taught by his clan since young to fight a heroic battle and sacrifice himself, if need be, when faced with formidable enemies. As the commander-in-chief, he could not behave recklessly nor hide in cowardice.

Nevertheless, the Douluo Continent itself was a peaceful world. There was barely any opportunity for him to engage in actual battles other than the military exercises. It was only today that he understood the meaning of fighting a heroic battle.

The soul core inside his body was squeezing and surging with soul power continuously which he channeled fully into the battlefield. The Northern Army Corps was the weakest of all the eight great army corps. There were only a few powerhouses after all. The defense lines were destroyed one by one while the vast majority of the powerhouses in the army had already fallen. He watched helplessly as the innumerable enemies were enough to blot out the land and the sky. Meanwhile, the regimental commander could only rely on his courageous resolve to withstand everything before him.

Kill, kill, kill!

In his perception, every additional abyssal creature killed could perhaps slow them down another second. The extent of what he could do now was seemingly no longer important for him. He knew that he could not possibly survive today. Under such circumstances, he only hoped that whatever he did, it was to the best of his abilities.

“Boom...” The Blight Mountain Axe shredded the Ba An before him into pieces. He watched as the creature turned into a gray airflow which rose into the sky. A feeling of exhaustion finally came upon the Title Douluo.

No matter how powerful a Title Douluo’s ability was in sustaining a battle, it was still limited. He could not possibly continue to fight without limitations.

Even Tang Wulin’s abnormal physical capabilities were similarly limited. He could still suffer from fatigue after engaging in the Heavenly Refinement for a prolonged period.

Meanwhile, the sound of ringing bells were heard once again.

His exhausted body slowed down his spiritual reaction. Guo Zhenfeng’s vision blurred. The surroundings quietened down seemingly, leaving only the melodious bell ringing in his mind.

The gigantic bell was behind him at the moment. Its sharp edge slammed into Guo Zhenfeng’s three-word battle armor violently.

A piercing screech followed the intensifying sounds of a ringing bell. Guo Zhenfeng was flung away by the impact. A huge crack formed at the back of his rigid three-word battle armor. The glowing radiance of the battle armor dimmed.

A large number of abyssal creatures seized the opportunity to attack Guo Zhenfeng. Countless attacks and stampedes were vented on the Northern Army Corps’ regimental commander within a short span of time.

The Darkness Bell emerged out of thin air and watched Guo Zhenfeng being swarmed by the abyssal creatures. She turned around to look at the Northern Army Corps’s final defense line before displaying a gratified smile. The defense line was about to be broken at last. Next, it was all unrestrained and expansive lands. The dispersed abyssal creatures would bring in an abundance of destructive energy which the Darkness Bell and the Holy Spirit Cult eagerly anticipated the most.

Yet, the smile on her face only lasted for a moment, before her expression stiffened suddenly.
