"Perish!"
Fang Yang's gaze was calm as he watched the surging Abyss creatures before him, his voice as cold as ice.
He slowly raised his right hand, palm up, and a cluster of black Heavenly Flame silently ignited.
The flame danced in the eternally dark Abyss, as if it could devour everything. Wherever it passed, even space began to distort.
"Golden Emperor's Heaven-Burning Slash."
The black Heavenly Flame suddenly surged, transforming into a huge sword energy that spanned the heavens and earth.
Wherever the sword energy passed, space shattered inch by inch, revealing pitch-black cracks in the void.
This sword energy, condensed from the Heavenly Flame, carried the terrifying power to incinerate all things as it slashed forward.
Countless Abyss creatures couldn't even let out a scream before turning into nothingness within the black flames.
This single sword strike pierced through all one hundred and eight layers of the Abyss Plane.
It finally stopped above the majestic Abyssal Palace. The magnificent sword might, like a scorching sun in the sky, illuminated this eternally dark palace, making it shine with a golden light.
BOOM—!
Amidst a world-shaking rumble, the entire Abyss Plane trembled violently.
Space was torn with countless cracks, the earth cracked and split amid the tremors, and even the origin energy that constituted the Abyss began to fluctuate wildly.
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
Continuous explosions resounded throughout the Abyss. The black flames spread like a plague, and wherever they went, everything was incinerated into nothingness.
Abyss creatures were turned to flying ash by the droves, without leaving a single trace behind.
Fang Yang stood with his hands behind his back, calmly watching this collapsing world, his eyes showing not the slightest ripple of emotion.
Gu Yuena stood at his side, her silver hair fluttering. She raised a hand and set up a silver light screen, isolating the rampant energy shockwaves.
"The Abyss Plane has begun to collapse," Gu Yuena said softly, her violet eyes reflecting the sky full of fire.
Fang Yang nodded slightly. "This is just the beginning."
He raised his hand, and black flames ignited on his fingertip once more.
This time, the flames transformed into countless tiny sparks, raining down upon all corners of the Abyss. Every spark that landed on an Abyss creature would instantly devour it.
In the blink of an eye, the entire Abyss world had turned into a sea of fire.
Abyss creatures let out mournful howls and fled frantically, but before the ubiquitous black flames, their struggles seemed utterly futile.
Just then, a heaven-shaking roar came from the depths of the Abyss.
A massive figure burst through the sea of fire and pounced forward. It was a giant Abyssal demon, exuding a terrifying and palpable aura.
"Finally, one that looks the part." Fang Yang smiled faintly and raised a hand to point lightly.
Poof.
The black flame instantly devoured the demon, without leaving a single speck of ash behind.
Gu Yuena frowned slightly. "It seems these Abyss Monarchs have no intention of showing themselves."
"No matter."
Fang Yang's gaze swept towards the depths of the Abyss. "If they won't come out, then we'll go to them."
He took a single step, and his figure appeared several miles away.
Gu Yuena followed closely behind. The two moved as if entering an unguarded land; wherever they passed, all things were incinerated.
Abyss creatures surged forward wave after wave, only to be turned to flying ash within a hundred meters of the two.
The black flames, as if possessing life, actively sought out all existences containing Abyssal energy.
The entire Abyss world was wailing.
The earth cracked, the sky shattered, and the Abyssal power that constituted this world was rapidly disintegrating.
At this rate, it wouldn't take long for the entire Abyss world to completely collapse.
"How audacious!"
Just then, a voice containing endless rage came from the deepest part of the Abyss.
The voice contained a terrifying soul shock. If an ordinary God-level powerhouse were here, they would likely have their souls instantly scattered.
The Abyssal energy of the entire world began to converge frantically, condensing in the air into a giant shadow that spanned the heavens and earth.
The shadow gradually solidified, taking the form of a man in a black robe.
He had long, crystalline, snow-white hair that cascaded down to his waist like a waterfall.
His face was so pale it was almost translucent, his features so exquisite they surpassed mortal aesthetics.
A pair of pure black eyes held no trace of white, so deep they were like the Abyss itself, reflecting the birth and death of worlds.
Merely by standing there, he gave off a sense of oppression, as if the entire plane was worshiping him.
The Lord of the Abyss Plane, the Abyssal Saint King, had finally appeared!
Fang Yang stopped and looked up at the massive figure in the sky.
A cold smile appeared on his lips.
"I've been waiting for you."
Space trembled violently, and nine figures exuding terrifying auras shot into the sky.
These were the nine strongest Abyss Monarchs, second only to the Abyssal Saint King.
Behind them, the other ninety-eight Abyss Monarchs also appeared one after another.
A full one hundred and eight Abyss Monarchs had gathered. The pressure they exuded made the entire plane tremble.
The Abyssal Saint King stared fixedly at Fang Yang, his voice bone-chillingly cold. "You've destroyed the foundation of my plane. You deserve to die a thousand deaths!"
"Such nonsense."
Fang Yang took a step, appearing before the Abyssal Saint King, his tone flat.
"Your opponent is me."
Gu Yuena moved at almost the same moment. The Silver Dragon Spear appeared in her hand, cleaving through the sky.
It brought with it a brilliant silver light, aimed directly at the gathered hundred-plus Abyss Monarchs.
Her clear, cold voice resounded across the battlefield, carrying an unquestionable authority: "All of you, come at me together."
The Abyssal Saint King said no more. There was only the need to crush the person before him with absolute power.
He made a grasping motion with one hand, and a primordial super divine weapon, nurtured by the Abyss Plane over countless eons—the Heavenly Sacred Abyss-Splitting Halberd—appeared.
It was blue-violet all over, covered in dense, strange, scale-like patterns.
Every pattern emitted a unique luster, and a black mist capable of swallowing light swirled around it, giving it a mysterious and terrifying feel.
The halberd trembled, and the power of all one hundred and eight layers of the Abyss converged like a hundred rivers flowing to the sea.
"Abyss, Descend!"
The Abyssal Saint King swung the Heavenly Sacred Abyss-Splitting Halberd, bringing with it the crushing power of the entire plane, and slashed down towards Fang Yang.
This strike seemed simple, but it contained the origin laws of the Abyss Plane.
Fang Yang was expressionless. He lightly raised his right hand, and the black Heavenly Flame ignited in his palm once more.
"Heavenly Flame Burns the Heavens."
The black flame instantly surged, transforming into a sky-obscuring flame that collided violently with the Heavenly Sacred Abyss-Splitting Halberd.
Two world-destroying forces collided fiercely in the air, erupting with a deafening roar.
The energy shockwave spread like a tsunami, forcing even the powerful Abyss Monarchs to retreat repeatedly, their faces filled with horror.
Gu Yuena's silver hair fluttered. The Silver Dragon Spear traced a silver arc, blocking all the shockwaves.
"Not bad Abyssal power," Fang Yang commented flatly. "A pity, it's not enough."
At this moment, eleven phantoms of Heavenly Flames, each with a different form but all exuding an aura that could incinerate all things, slowly materialized.
His icy voice rang out: "Then receive my spear."
The eleven Heavenly Flames congealed, forming a long spear, pitch-black in its entirety, yet its surface flowed with the patterns of eleven different colored flames!
Terrifying flames flowed around the long spear, exuding a pressure that made one's heart palpitate.
