"Roar!"
Angry roars echoed throughout the abyssal plane, causing creatures of all one hundred and six layers to shudder in fear.
The towering throne was smashed to pieces, and one after another, the Abyss Great Emperors trembled ceaselessly, unable to fathom why the Abyssal Emperor was so enraged.
"Damn it!"
"How could such a mere plane as Soul Land produce such a powerful being."
The Abyssal Emperor let out an angry bellow. He had thought that only the Divine Realm was worthy of his attention and that other beings were like insects that could be crushed with a mere breath. Yet, unexpectedly, before he could even begin his plan of invasion, he had already lost two emperors and an avatar.
Gazing down upon the kneeling Abyss Great Emperors below, the flames of fury in his eyes grew even more intense.
"A bunch of trash!"
"If you could each stand on your own, I wouldn't have had to suffer successive losses."
The many emperors, upon hearing these words, dared not speak and buried themselves even lower, almost prostrating on the ground.
"Raise your heads!"
With an angry shout from the Abyssal Emperor, the crowd below did not dare to disobey, tentatively lifting their heads.
"Swoosh!"
The Abyssal Emperor concentrated his God Rank spiritual power, illuminating the void above, and sketched out the silhouette of a handsome young man.
"Remember this man,"
"and once the opportunity arises, kill him for me!!"
The Abyssal Emperor said through clenched teeth, staring at the silhouette in the void, his eyes turning blood red with rage.
A colossal disgrace.
It was truly a colossal disgrace.
Since the birth of the Abyssal Emperor, he had never suffered such humiliation.
He shared the same perspective as his avatar, and Luo Yu's disdainful words followed by the forceful destruction of his avatar deeply grieved the long-seated, supremely domineering Abyssal Emperor.
At this moment, no one else dared to speak, fearing they would provoke his wrath. Only the fair-faced Emperor Zhi dared to inquire:
"May I ask Your Majesty, was it this person who killed Emperor Meng and Emperor Ying?"
The Abyssal Emperor's bloodshot eyes fixed on Emperor Zhi, causing him to feel uneasy.
"Correct."
"It is him."
"He is still guarding our second portal, never leaving."
Emperor Zhi's pupils shrank, finding it unbelievable.
"This man slew Emperor Meng and Emperor Ying, yet he didn't flee and even dared to counterattack?"
"Heh."
The Abyssal Emperor laughed angrily.
"The man does have some tricks up his sleeve."
"The armor he wears is unfathomable, and the Six Paths Flame he commands can even devour our very essence."
"You must all be careful."
All one hundred and two Abyss Great Emperors trembled, hearing the unfavorable news.
Immediately, a sense of panic spread among them.
The Abyssal Emperor saw all the commotion from below.
"A bunch of good-for-nothings."
"Despite this, I did gain something from this outing."
"Although that hateful being's flame can devour our essence, its offensive power is not strong. In fact, it's quite weak. It can only function when our movements are constrained, allowing the flame to take effect and consume us."
Realization dawned in Emperor Zhi's eyes, and he quickly caught on.
"Are you suggesting that as long as we're a bit cautious, that flame is actually of no use?"
The Abyssal Emperor nodded.
"Exactly."
"Though his combat strength is formidable, he can at best only scatter you."
"As long as you all band together, when one group is dispersed by him, another strikes back against the flames. With attrition, we could wear that guy down to his death."
"Phew!"
Hearing this, the one hundred and two Emperors below let out a sigh of relief.
Emperor Zhi respectfully said, "Then I will go and inform the Charm Emperor and the others who could not be here."
The Abyssal Emperor shook his head.
"There's no need."
"I sense that, unlike Emperor Meng and Emperor Ying, they have already successfully infiltrated Soul Land."
"Our plan to divide our forces into three has still been successful."
At this point, Emperor Zhi hesitated,
"Emperor, won't sending an avatar to Soul Land to fight cause the Divine Realm to notice?"
The Abyssal Emperor's gaze sharpened.
"Sneaking in secretly would naturally go unnoticed."
"However, battling that youngster has already utilized the full strength of the avatar, causing battle fluctuations that reached the intensity of a Level One Deity. The Divine Realm couldn't possibly remain completely unaware."
Fear of the Divine Realm deeply ingrained in his bones, Emperor Zhi's heart skipped a beat.
Seeing the Abyssal Emperor remain undisturbed, his expression gradually calmed.
"It seems you already have a contingency plan?"
The Abyssal Emperor laughed heartily,
"You know me well."
He looked around in disgust and disdain.
"Unlike these wastes who only know how to groan and moan all day."
Emperor Zhi couldn't help but ask,
"May I know what brilliant strategy you have, Emperor, that could enlighten your servant?"
The Abyssal Emperor said,
"The boy's combat power is truly astonishing, not something the natives of Soul Land could achieve. If he becomes our enemy, he certainly would be a problem."
"However, this problem will likely soon disappear, and we might not even need to lift a finger."
The many Emperors below didn't understand, even Emperor Zhi was puzzled.
The Abyssal Emperor continued melodiously, "We in the abyssal plane have carefully avoided the Divine Realm for many years, we still have some understanding of it."
"The Divine Realm currently loathes the Dragon Clan, seeking to exterminate any member they encounter."
"And that boy, he reeks of the Dragon Clan's distinctive traits, clearly one of them, an arch enemy of the Divine Realm."
"I wasn't certain at first, but given his strength to ascend to the Divine Realm so casually, yet choosing to lurk in Soul Land out of the spotlight, indicates he must be hiding something."
"The fluctuations from our previous battle must have alerted the Divine Realm. When deities descend to the mortal world, if my predictions are correct, he will be the first they wish to exterminate."
"And since the boy is by no means weak, there will surely be a dog-eat-dog fight with the Divine Realm leading to mutual destruction. We can then reap the benefits of the fisherman."
Emperor Zhi, who had always prided himself on his strategies, was now left dumbfounded.
Licking his lips he said,
"Who could have thought, aside from your unparalleled martial prowess, your strategies are also unparalleled."
"Divine strategy, Emperor!" echoed the many Abyss Great Emperors.
At this point, one of the Emperors stepped forward with concern,
"Emperor, if many Divine Kings descend to kill that guy, won't they turn their guns on us afterward?"
The Abyssal Emperor glanced at him and snorted,
"You think of something, and the Emperor wouldn't already have?"
"The arrogance of the Divine Realm is beyond your imagination."
"Sending a Level One Deity is already a grand gesture; for a Divine King to descend is an extremely unlikely chance."
"Should a Level One Deity descend, when he and the boy are both severely wounded, that would be the perfect opportunity for us to strike."
"If a Divine King descends, and the Divine King intends to forcefully take down the boy, it's likely that he'll still lose a chunk of flesh. At that time, with the Abyss Great Emperors led by myself launching a surprise attack, we wouldn't fear his survival. After swallowing a Divine King's Divine Origin, could we still fear not rising to power?"
"Now, rest assured and recuperate. The temporal chaos I've induced is also close at hand; everything is within the plan."
