Chapter 67: The Boundary as the Frontier, Gold as the Oath
The moment Lei Chen's will was issued and the Douluo Plane's barrier actively dissipated, a soul-shaking roar originating from the very origin of the world erupted from the depths of the endless void!
It was not a sound, but chaotic ripples stirred by the most direct, most brutal collision of law against law, matter against matter, energy against energy.
The entire Douluo Star trembled violently. Mountains shook, rivers and seas churned backward, and the sky seemed torn open by a massive, east-west spanning fissure. Through the tear, one could see a bizarre world opposite—a world interwoven with dark reds and deep purples, brimming with an aura of destruction and chaos: the Abyss Plane!
Two colossal planes, like two gigantic islands floating in the cosmos, were now'squeezing' together in a manner that defied all reason.
At the edges of contact, space shattered inch by inch, only to be forcibly kneaded together again under the unparalleled, immense power, erupting into terrifying storms capable of annihilating all existence below the divine level.
Any ordinary being witnessing this scene would likely have their mind shattered instantly.
However, as the master of the Douluo Plane, Lei Chen's gaze was as calm as eternal, unmelting black ice.
He stood at the core of the Origin Sea, hands pressing down in a virtual gesture. Multicolored divine light erupted from his body with unprecedented intensity, like the most precise loom, guiding the Douluo Plane's origin power. He was not blindly meeting the impact head-on, but exercising extremely meticulous control.
He had indeed chosen a head-on collision, but it was by no means a mindless crash.
If the two planes were allowed to fully converge, the hundreds of millions of ordinary people on the Douluo Douluo with no means of self-protection would immediately be exposed to the bloody maws of the Abyss Creatures. That would be a one-sided slaughter and a foolish act of supplying the enemy.
Therefore, under his precise control, the contact between the two great planes was not evenly distributed across the globe. Instead, the vast majority of the collision's immense force was guided and compressed towards the southern coastal region of the Douluo Douluo!
"BOOM—!!!"
A roar, a hundred million times more terrifying than the simultaneous explosion of ten million thunderclaps, came from the southern part of the Douluo.
There, the heavens and earth seemed to be kneaded violently by an invisible giant hand. The land swelled, twisted, and compressed like maddened dough!
Vast oceans were lifted into the air. Endless mountains, rocks, and soil surged from the depths of the earth, violently merging with the dark red matter stripped from the collision edge of the Abyss Plane—material imbued with chaotic energy.
This was a display of creator-like, immense power.
Under the horrified gazes of countless living beings, a mountain range of indescribable grandeur and scale rose from the ground at a visible speed, piercing straight into the clouds!
The mountain range stretched for tens of thousands of miles, its height far surpassing any known peak in the world. Its summit had already pierced the atmosphere, entering the cold expanse of the starry sky.
On one side of the mountain range lay the familiar scenery of the Douluo Plane. Although vegetation had been flattened by the cataclysm, vitality remained.
On the other side was utter desolation and chaos. Jagged, dark red rocks formed bizarre shapes, and the air was thick with a nauseating stench of sulfur and decay. That was the territory of the Abyss Plane!
This majestic mountain range spanning the southern end of the Douluo was the battlefield front line forged by Lei Chen with his supreme power—the new 'Plane Boundary' formed after the collision of the two great planes!
The moment the mountain range took shape, Lei Chen's gaze pierced through the void, landing on the other side of the boundary.
There, upon the dark red scorched earth, a dark, tide-like mass of Abyss Creatures had already completed their assembly.
Abyss Creatures of varied forms, exuding savage auras, roared deafeningly under the leadership of dozens of figures radiating terrifying fluctuations at the level of Limit Douluo or even Demigods—the Abyssal Kings of various layers. They transformed into a torrent of destruction, charging towards this newly born mountain boundary!
Killing intent soared to the heavens, the dense negative energy even causing the very space to sizzle as it corroded.
"You've come quite quickly!" Lei Chen snorted coldly, a sharp glint flashing in his eyes.
Since the other side was so eager to deliver themselves to death, he would naturally oblige.
With a thought, the supreme authority of the Plane Master manifested once more.
At the core of the Star Dou Great Forest, the towering Golden Ancient Tree that propped up heaven and earth suddenly erupted with dazzling, resplendent golden radiance.
In the next instant, the colossal tree body, along with the large swath of soil from the Lake of Life entwined by its roots, was uprooted by an irresistible spatial force. In a flash, it traversed tens of thousands of miles, appearing atop the newly born plane mountain boundary, on the side closer to the Douluo Plane!
"Boom!"
The Golden Ancient Tree's massive roots, like coiling dragons, thrust fiercely into the mountains. Majestic life energy instantly spread out, forming a gentle yet resilient golden light shield that enveloped a vast area on the Douluo side of the mountain range.
Wherever the light shield reached, the land ravaged by the plane collision rapidly revived. Scorched earth sprouted tender shoots, while also bringing a heartening, reassuring power.
Simultaneously, across the Douluo Douluo, spatial fluctuations flickered intensely.
At the Sun Moon Empire's border, the ten top-tier Soul Engineer Corps armed to the teeth, along with fifty ordinary Soul Engineer Corps and the Soul Masters in training, felt their vision blur. In an instant, they found themselves collectively positioned on the Mountain Defense Line under the radiance of the Golden Ancient Tree, their formations perfectly intact.
Shrek Academy, the Body Sect, major clans and families... all Titled Douluo whose Soul Power had reached level ninety or above, regardless of their previous location, were now enveloped by a gentle yet irresistible force and teleported to the front line.
The Star Dou Great Forest, the Evil Demon Forest, the Far North Land... all Soul Beasts with cultivation surpassing a hundred thousand years were similarly relocated, standing alongside the human powerhouses on the defense line.
In an instant, all the top-tier and core forces of the Douluo Plane had been assembled here by Lei Chen through his heaven-and-earth shifting methods!
The sudden spatial transfer left the newly arrived individuals somewhat bewildered. But when they saw the tide-like Abyss Army surging from the opposite side of the distant mountains, radiating a heart-palpitating aura, they instantly understood their situation. An air of solemn killing intent immediately permeated the area.
Just as everyone's nerves were taut, a calm, authoritative voice, seeming to resonate directly within the soul of each individual, clearly spread across the entire defense line:
"This battle concerns the survival of our plane, as well as your own paths of cultivation."
It was the voice of the Plane Master! Everyone held their breath, focusing intently.
"I, who wield the origin power of this realm, possess the authority over life, death, and the cycle of reincarnation."
"In this battle, any warrior of our realm who fights valiantly against the enemy, even if slain in battle, as long as their corpse is not devoured by the Abyss, I can, after the battle, draw upon the plane's Life Origin to help you reassemble your souls, reshape your flesh, and bring you back to life!"
As these words fell, an unbelievable light instantly erupted in the eyes of everyone on the defense line—be they human Titled Douluo or hundred-thousand-year Soul Beasts—immediately transforming into ecstatic joy and unprecedented fighting spirit!
They could be resurrected? Then what was there to fear?!
"Conversely!" Lei Chen's voice turned icy. "Abyss Creatures are born from the world's negative energy and the law of devouring. Supported by their home plane, they can also revive and are extremely difficult to eradicate completely."
"However, simply bring their corpses beneath the Golden Ancient Tree and purify them with the power of the Life Origin. This will sever their root of resurrection, causing them to be utterly annihilated!"
"All who slay Abyss Creatures and bring their corpses to the Golden Ancient Tree for purification shall, depending on the enemy's strength, receive the plane's fortune blessing and origin reward. This is the plane's commendation. Assisting you in breaking through bottlenecks and glimpsing the divine rank is not impossible!"
The Golden Ancient Tree's light flared brilliantly at that moment, as if confirming the oath of the Plane Master. The majestic life aura and a profound, mysterious fluctuation made everyone's blood boil with excitement.
Before them was the promise of resurrection, eliminating worries of the rear. Behind them was the plane's reward, spurring them forward.
In an instant, all the Douluo powerhouses assembled here had not a trace of hesitation or fear left in their eyes. Only blazing fighting spirit and a thirst for merit remained!
With the boundary as the frontier and gold as the oath, the battle for the plane's survival was now declared. There was only one path: fight to the death!
