After the words rang out, the Diamond Dust suddenly exploded, and the unharmed Abyssal Emperor once again appeared before everyone…
The terrifying pressure that made it impossible to lift their heads had not lessened in the slightest…
Ye Xinglan stumbled back two steps, exclaiming in shock, "Teacher Wu's life-risking strike didn't… didn't bring any harm to the Abyssal Emperor!"
Xu Xiaoyan, however, frowned and said, "Damn it… I should have thought of this earlier. This guy even defeated the Sea God; how could Teacher Wu, who hasn't even broken through to Ultimate Douluo, possibly injure him!"
Yue Zhengyu's body was shaking uncontrollably, "Thinking about it this way, Teacher Wu… he died in vain!"
Their morale, already greatly damaged by Xie Xie's demise, now took a further hit with Wu Changkong's death, shattering the hope that had just started to resurface!
Even Tang Wulin fell to the ground with a "thump," his cheeks filled with the color of despair…
The one who could have helped his father had also fallen…
Now, they truly were at an impasse with no way out!
Gu Yuena's eyes held a complex look as she murmured, "Wulin…"
This was the first time she had seen this always strong man show such an expression!
In the past, no matter the difficulty, he would always do everything in his power to overcome it!
But she could understand that against such an enemy, resistance and struggle were utterly meaningless!
The Abyssal Emperor didn't care about what they were thinking, and turned his head to look at Wu Changkong, who had turned into Diamond Dust…
After pointing the Heaven Saint Crack Abyss Halberd at his head, what he intended to do was very clear…
Visible to the naked eye, the massive Diamond Dust exploded, and with it Wu Changkong's body, turned into ice-blue snowflakes, dissipating between heaven and earth…
The Elders of the Sea God Pavilion, who witnessed this with their own eyes, felt as if thousands of needles were stabbing their hearts, experiencing a spiritual blow a hundred times stronger than physical pain!
Only then did the Abyssal Emperor stretch out his hands, conjuring a death orb in the sky about several kilometers in diameter…
Controlling it as it slowly began to fall…
"It's over, humans. Your era is about to become a thing of the past!"
Facing the colossus above, everyone was silent, quietly waiting for death to descend…
At that moment, a very calm voice came from the void…
"Abyssal Emperor! Have you forgotten what I told you?"
Upon hearing this sentence, the pupils of the Sea God Pavilion Elders contracted sharply as they looked around, trying to find the man speaking, but to no avail…
Ya Li gave a bitter smile, "Hehe… seems like I'm having hallucinations as death approaches, to actually hear Elder Xu's voice!"
Cai Yue'er also sighed, "Yeah, Elder Xu has long been devoured by the Abyssal Emperor, how could he possibly appear to save the Continent?"
Yuan En Zhentian shook his head, "Even if Elder Xu is still alive, he would only be throwing his life away. This Abyssal Emperor has even slain the Sea God!"
Xu Sheng was not weak, but compared to the Divine, he was ultimately not on the same level!
Lan Muzi furrowed his brows and said, "Elders, the voice just now was undoubtedly Elder Xu, perhaps…"
Tang Yinmeng also said excitedly, "Yes, I heard it clearly too, perhaps Elder Xu isn't dead yet!"
The Shrek Seven Monsters, who had been prepared to await death quietly, likewise began to doubt their own ears…
Xu Xiaoyan exclaimed with surprise, "Everyone, wasn't that Teacher Xu's voice just now?"
Yuanen Yehui's lips trembled, "It seems like it, but… isn't Teacher Xu already…"
Yue Zhengyu, however, was utterly disbelieving, shaking his head, "Teacher Xu is not a God; even if he is still alive, at a time like this, it's better if he doesn't come!"
But Gu Yuena, whose spiritual power was strong, could be certain the voice wasn't an illusion and excitedly said to Tang Wulin, "Wulin!"
The one who had been in despair, at an unknown moment, had rekindled the light in his eyes…
He suddenly stood up, gazing intently at the black orb of light above in the sky, "No, Teacher Xu didn't die, he has always been alive!"
This, he had already suspected from the beginning!
Teacher Xu, if you really are still alive!
Please, help us!
Having said this, he closed his eyes...
Seeing this, the others also closed their eyes under the intense halo emitted by the approaching black orb of light...
Their hearts held both hope for Xu Sheng's rescue and reluctance for his appearance!
...
About ten or so seconds later, the pain they anticipated did not come, and it was unexpectedly calm...
"Everyone, open your eyes, I knew Teacher Xu would surely appear!"
As Tang Wulin spoke, he stared at the sky, at that man standing indomitably with one hand against the black orb of light!
At his words, everyone also slowly opened their eyes, and the first sight they met was that familiar figure...
Xu Xiaoyan rubbed her eyes, incredulously exclaiming, "Is that Teacher Xu?? He... he blocked the attack of the Abyssal Emperor with just one hand??"
Yue Zhengyu momentarily forgot his hatred, his words slipping out, "Strong... so strong, Teacher Xu's strength has surpassed the realm achievable by a Soul Master!"
Ye Xinglan rejoiced, "That's great! Teacher Xu is still alive,"
Yuanen Yehui, however, said pensively, "Teacher Xu is still alive..."
But Xie Xie, he was already dead!
After saying so, she looked distantly at the body embedded in the ground, now cold...
Gu Yuena, however, was releasing as much spiritual power as possible, trying to discern Xu Sheng's realm...
But she failed, like a drop of water merging into the ocean, completely unable to gauge its depth!
She analyzed in her heart, "The aura emitted by Teacher Xu is not weaker than the Abyssal Emperor's, could it be... that he is actually a god as well?"
Apart from this conclusion, she couldn't comprehend why Xu Sheng could be so powerful!
The Abyssal Emperor, seeing Xu Sheng who appeared suddenly and effortlessly blocked his attack, narrowed his eyes and said, "You actually dare to show yourself?"
Now that he had ascended to Divine King, he feared no one from before!
"What, you think just because you've become a Divine King, you're invincible now?"
Even he did not dare to be careless with his enemies, was this guy overestimating himself too much?
The abyss coldly commanded, "Shut up, I have now ascended to Divine King, and the abyssal plane has devoured half of Soul Land, you absolutely cannot be my opponent!"
"However, I am not interested in you right now, get lost!"
Although he was unafraid, he had no desire to engage in a meaningless battle with a god!
It was more important to completely devour Soul Land...
Xu Sheng chuckled lightly, "That won't do, you've defied my order, so... I can't let you continue your rampage."
The Abyssal Emperor discerned the meaning behind his words, "Are you saying, you want to stop me?"
Xu Sheng casually shrugged his shoulders, "Not to stop you, just to give you a correct understanding of your own strength!"
