Chapter 166: A Second Plane War? The Excited Demigods
"The strength on the other side is just right."
After investigating the strength of the Demon Plane, Lei Chen muttered to himself. With a slight thought, the seven-colored light of the Plane Master flowed around his body.
In the next instant, his figure vanished from that spot. When he reappeared, he was already in a strange valley where searing heat and freezing cold intertwined, brimming with vitality—the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.
The red and white spring waters rotated slowly like a Yin-Yang fish, emitting extremely pure Heaven and Earth Essence. After Lei Chen's modification and empowerment, this place had long since become one of the top cultivation holy lands on the Douluo Plane.
At this moment, several powerful auras were fluctuating in cultivation within the valley. The most eye-catching among them were the three supreme experts who had already forged divine bodies and stepped into the demigod realm—Mu En, Long Xiaoyao, and Ye Xishui.
Lei Chen's arrival was without warning, yet it felt as if it were meant to be. The majesty of the Plane Master naturally radiating from him instantly startled all the cultivators in the valley.
"Buzz—"
Almost the moment Lei Chen's figure solidified, everyone cultivating in the valley felt a resonance in their hearts. Regardless of their cultivation level, they all woke from deep meditation, quickly withdrew their Soul Power, and looked with awe at the figure that had suddenly appeared and merged with the entire world.
Mu En, Long Xiaoyao, and Ye Xishui reacted the fastest. With a slight flicker of their bodies, they appeared not far in front of Lei Chen. Without the slightest hesitation, the three of them bowed slightly, performing a brief but respectful salute.
"Welcome, Plane Master!" As the leader of Shrek Academy and the most senior among them, Mu En naturally spoke on behalf of everyone, his voice calm and respectful.
Long Xiaoyao and Ye Xishui also nodded slightly, their eyes filled with awe and inquiry toward this higher-level existence.
Although the three of them had stepped into the demigod realm and their life levels had undergone a leap, they still felt their own insignificance before Lei Chen, the Plane Master who controlled the entire world and possessed heaven-reaching methods.
In particular, they could clearly feel that compared to a few years ago, Lei Chen's aura had become increasingly profound and unfathomable, as if his connection with the entire plane had become tighter and his power even more formidable.
Lei Chen's expression was calm as his gaze swept over the three, lingering for a moment on their bodies that had already undergone a transformation and were faintly circulating divine radiance. He nodded slightly and said, "No need for formalities."
His voice was clear and bright, carrying a power that soothed the soul, instantly calming the slight tension everyone felt due to his sudden arrival.
Mu En, Long Xiaoyao, and Ye Xishui looked at each other, a hint of doubt in their eyes.
The Plane Master usually kept a low profile, coordinating the grand task of plane promotion and rarely appearing in person, especially at their place of cultivation. His sudden arrival now must mean something important.
Mu En took a step forward and asked respectfully, "May I ask what instructions the Plane Master has for descending in person?"
Long Xiaoyao and Ye Xishui also listened intently.
Lei Chen did not answer immediately. Instead, he slowly raised his right hand. Following his movement, the void not far in front of him began to ripple like water.
Under everyone's astonished gazes, a spatial rift about three meters high, with dark red chaotic energy flowing around its edges, a deep and dark interior, and the faint scent of sulfur and distorted roars, was forcibly torn open and stabilized, finally forming an extremely unstable dark red light gate!
The moment the light gate appeared, an aura completely different from the vibrant and orderly laws of the Douluo Plane spread out. It was a fluctuation of otherworldly laws filled with corruption, temptation, destruction, and chaos. Although it was firmly restricted to a tiny area around the gate by Lei Chen's power, its inherent evil and violence still shook the minds of all the experts present!
"This is... a spatial passage?"
Ye Xishui's pupils constricted. As the owner of the death god demon puppet Martial Soul, she was particularly sensitive to this kind of negative energy. The aura coming from behind that gate made even her feel a tremor in her heart.
The dark aura around Long Xiaoyao surged instinctively as he said in a deep voice, "The world behind the gate... is loathsome."
Mu En stared intently at the dark red light gate. Through the unstable and distorted portal, he could vaguely see a corner of the scene behind it—a dark red sky, rivers of searing magma flowing across the land, and distorted monstrous shadows flickering in the sulfurous smoke. The entire world exuded an aura of despair and madness.
Just as everyone was filled with suspicion and unease over this sudden spatial gate and the evil aura it emitted, Lei Chen's calm yet clear voice rang out, solving their doubts:
"Not long ago, I discovered an otherworldly realm that refused to give up its designs. It secretly sent a seed containing its source power into our plane, attempting to erode us from the shadows and even open a passage for an invasion."
Lei Chen's tone was flat, but it carried an unquestionable authority. "This was done by the Demon Plane. I have intercepted that seed and followed the clues to reverse-construct this spatial passage to the Demon Plane using its coordinates."
He pointed his hand toward the dark red light gate and said, "Behind this gate lies the Demon Plane."
As soon as these words were spoken, it was like a sudden thunderclap, and everyone present turned pale!
"An... another invading plane?" a Super Douluo couldn't help but cry out in shock, his face full of disbelief.
"How long has it been? The threat of the Abyss Plane has just been resolved, and yet another plane has set its sights on us?"
Another expert was also shocked, his eyes fixed on the spatial gate emitting an ominous aura, as if seeing the prelude to another great war.
The successive plane invasions made these experts standing at the top of the continent feel a sense of oppression.
Plane wars often concerned the survival of the world, and their brutality was far beyond that of internal struggles. The scenes of the Abyss War were still fresh in their minds; the grandeur and destruction of the plane collision were still shocking to think about.
However, unlike the shock of those Super Douluos, the eyes of Mu En, Long Xiaoyao, and Ye Xishui—the three supreme experts who had already stepped into the demigod realm—instantly burst with an unhideable sharp light after the initial shock.
They looked at each other and saw the same excitement and heat in each other's eyes.
They had not forgotten that in the war against the Abyss Plane a few years ago that concerned their survival, the demigods who participated—Xue Di, Du Busi, Di Tian, and Kong Deming—received incredibly generous rewards from the Plane Master after the victory.
That was pure energy sufficient to make a demigod-level expert's cultivation soar and directly break through the boundary between gods and mortals!
It was precisely by relying on the merits and rewards from that war that those demigods were able to break through one after another, achieving godhood and becoming pivotal divine existences within the plane today!
At that time, the three of them were only level 99 Limit Douluos. Although they also participated in the war, the role they played was far inferior to that of the demigods, and the rewards they received naturally could not be compared. They couldn't help but feel envious in their hearts.
Now, after several years of hard cultivation, relying on The Innate Secret Method and the environment of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, they had finally successfully forged divine bodies and stepped into the demigod level!
Just as they had broken through and were thinking about how to consolidate their cultivation and find opportunities to go further, the Plane Master had actually brought another invading plane—the Demon Plane!
Doesn't this mean... a new plane war is about to begin? And they, the three newly promoted demigods, will become the high-level combat power crucial to the plane in this war?
