Chapter 97: Plane Collapse and Distribution
Lei Chen and Electrolux exchanged a look. Without a word, two rays of divine light, like meteors tearing through the dim sky, streaked directly toward the deepest and darkest core region of the Abyss Plane.
Everywhere they passed was filled with ruin and deathly silence.
The twisted creatures, jagged rocks, and boiling lava rivers that once populated every layer of the abyss had long since turned into pure origin energy due to the Holy Monarch's desperate act, and one layer had already been swallowed by Electrolux earlier.
The Abyss Plane at this moment was more like a giant skeleton stripped of its flesh and blood, with only the most basic law structures struggling to maintain it, and a decaying aura of doomsday permeated everywhere.
Having lost the dominance and regulation of the Plane Master, these fragile law structures crumbled like candles in the wind as the undisguised powerful auras of the two god-level experts swept past.
Spatial barriers shattered inch by inch, revealing the chaotic void of the cosmic background beyond; tectonic plates lost their support, colliding and squeezing into each other before sinking into the endless darkness; the remaining abyss energy lost its restraint, turning into disordered turbulence that crashed and annihilated itself.
With no obstacles or interceptions, it took only a moment for Lei Chen and Electrolux to break through layers of illusory spatial barriers and reach their destination—the very core of the Abyss Plane.
This place was not the grand palace or complex formation one might expect, but an indescribable void of absolute darkness.
In the center of the void floated a slowly pulsating dark red crystal, roughly a hundred meters in diameter.
This crystal was not a physical entity but was composed of countless dark red law runes, intricate to the extreme. They flowed and intertwined like living things, emitting an ancient, tyrannical, yet origin-creative majestic aura.
This was the Core Origin of the Abyss Plane, the source of all energy, matter, and laws for the entire plane, and the manifestation of the Abyss Will.
Even though the Holy Monarch was dead, it still instinctively maintained the plane's final structure, emitting heart-pounding fluctuations.
"This is the heart of the abyss," Lei Chen said, floating in the void, his gaze calmly fixed on the dark red crystal as if he were examining a dead object.
A look of solemnity also flashed in Electrolux's aged eyes. He could feel the terrifying energy and stubborn destruction laws contained within this Core Origin. Had the Holy Monarch not fallen, approaching and destroying it would have been no easy feat.
Lei Chen no longer hesitated. He slowly raised his right hand, and within his palm, colorful divine power began to gather frantically. It was not just his own divine power, but also the majestic might from the Douluo Plane's origin, bolstered across the void.
For a moment, his entire palm became crystal clear, as if condensed from the purest light of laws, emitting a supreme majesty capable of collapsing stars and resetting laws.
"Break."
There was no world-shaking roar, only a plain syllable containing supreme will uttered from Lei Chen's mouth.
He pressed his palm lightly against the dark red crystal.
The palm landed silently.
But the moment his palm touched the crystal, time seemed to freeze for an instant. Then, centered on the point of contact, countless colorful cracks, fine as cobwebs, spread to every corner of the dark red crystal like living things!
"Crack... crack-crack..."
The crisp and heart-pounding sound of shattering rang out in this absolutely silent core void, sounding exceptionally piercing.
The runes on the dark red crystal flickered wildly, attempting to resist this destructive force, but the colorful cracks contained a higher level of origin law power—the absolute crushing of a dying plane by a newborn one.
Resistance was futile.
The next second, with a dull boom that seemed to originate from the dawn of the universe, the dark red crystal that had carried billions of years of the Abyss Plane's history completely exploded, turning into countless tiny points of light. Like a reverse rain of dark red light, they splashed and dissipated in all directions.
The Core Origin of the Abyss Plane had shattered!
At the same moment the Core Origin shattered, the entire Abyss Plane, like a giant tower of blocks with its last support removed, began a comprehensive, thorough, and irreversible ultimate collapse!
"Rumble—!!!"
This time, the thunderous roar was no longer limited to the core area but erupted from every inch and every corner of the Abyss Plane simultaneously!
From the broken 107th layer on the outermost edge to the originally deep and mysterious innermost layer, all matter, energy, and law structures that had not yet completely disintegrated were pulled by an invisible giant hand, frantically shrinking, squeezing, and collapsing inward!
Space peeled away in pieces like a broken mirror, revealing the violent void turbulence behind; the boundaries between earth and sky blurred completely, melting into a chaotic porridge of energy; the disordered abyss energy turbulence was now forcibly restrained and compressed by the powerful collapse...
This was a doomsday scene, the end of a world. Its commotion was so great that even the closely attached Douluo Plane was slightly affected; the boundary mountains trembled slightly, as if sighing silently for the complete disappearance of a persistent, troublesome neighbor.
This ultimate collapse affecting the entire plane lasted for several hours.
Lei Chen and Electrolux floated quietly in the void where the core had been, protected by their divine power, isolated from the terrifying collapse force capable of annihilating anything below the god-level, watching it all coldly.
When the last vibration subsided and the last spatial fragment was swallowed, the scene before them had changed drastically.
The hundred-meter diameter dark red crystal was long gone, replaced by a giant dark red solid light sphere about tens of thousands of meters in diameter floating in the void.
The surface of the light sphere was smooth as a mirror, its color so deep it seemed to absorb all light; it rotated slowly, emitting a heavy, condensed, terrifying aura as if it contained the weight of the entire universe.
This was all that remained of the Abyss Plane—the ultimate crystallization formed by the extreme compression of all its energy, matter, and law fragments.
Lei Chen's divine sense swept over it, and he nodded slightly. The total amount of energy in this light sphere was even more majestic than he had expected; after all, it was the final remains of a complete plane.
He no longer hesitated, his hands guiding the air, mobilizing the authority of the Plane Master to begin controlling this giant solid light sphere.
Ripples appeared on the surface of the light sphere, and a portion of the dark red matter was slowly peeled away like fluid, condensing into a slightly smaller but still immense dark red light sphere beside it.
"Electrolux, these twenty percent are yours," Lei Chen said. "You can take it back to the Undead Space to devour and digest. If there's any left on my side after you're done, I'll give you another portion."
