Inside the palace of the Abyss Plane, the atmosphere was not overly heavy.
Black Emperor knelt on one knee and slowly said to the Abyssal Sage King.
"Sage King, our invasion failed this time."
The Abyssal Sage King sat upon the throne, no trace of joy or sorrow visible within those enchanting red eyes.
He simply listened quietly, his fingers gently tapping against the armrest of the throne, producing a rhythmic sound.
The Wisdom Emperor stood to the side, fell silent for a moment, and then slowly spoke.
"Failure is also a normal matter. After all, the combat power we dispatched this time is not considered very strong, and the energy contained within Douluo Planet is so vast that cultivating powerhouses of this Rank is not a difficult task."
"Fortunately, the consumption this time was not very large for our Abyss Plane, and we also learned a portion of this group of powerhouses' numbers."
"However, wanting to make further confirmations will be rather troublesome."
After listening to these words, the Abyssal Sage King finally spoke. The Abyssal Sage King naturally accepted Black Emperor's failure; after all, Black Emperor had not yet taken the field, and this was also by the Abyssal Sage King's instruction. After all, losing a powerhouse at the Quasi-God Rank would be very troublesome for the Abyss Plane, and he was not certain whether Douluo Planet possessed the ability to completely annihilate them.
His gaze fell upon the Wisdom Emperor and he asked indifferently.
"Wisdom Emperor, what kind of views do you have on the upcoming matters?"
The Wisdom Emperor fell silent for a moment, then raised his head to meet the Abyssal Sage King's gaze.
"Sage King, we are currently not yet clear on the full strength of the Douluo natives."
"Your subordinate suggests proceeding step by step. Currently, those humans have no way to cause us too much damage. Resurrecting the dead Abyssal Creatures only requires a little time. To us, time is the cheapest thing."
That was what he said, but the Wisdom Emperor was unwilling to die, because even if another Wisdom Emperor were resurrected, it definitely wouldn't be himself.
What the Abyssal Sage King was plotting right now, the Wisdom Emperor dared not gamble on; perhaps the Abyssal Sage King intended to use the people of Douluo Planet to make a move against them, the Abyss Kings, and then seize their power of Origin.
As for the deaths of other lower-class Abyssal Creatures, they had no impact whatsoever, since they were fellows who didn't possess much spiritual intelligence to begin with.
"Those natives have died in quite large numbers. Although high-tier combat power has come over, they do not have any intention of directly fighting their way over."
"Presumably, they are also unclear about our combat power, which is why they dare not act rashly."
The Wisdom Emperor's gaze became sharp.
"Therefore, your subordinate suggests that we can first pretend to increase our offensive, while actually making a feint to the east and attacking the west, opening another Abyssal Passage."
"Then invade the entire Douluo Planet in one fell swoop!"
After listening, the Abyssal Sage King fell silent for a moment, and then he nodded.
"Alright, then we shall do as you say."
The Wisdom Emperor let out a sigh of relief and hurriedly nodded.
"Yes!"
He paused for a moment, then spoke in addition.
"Sage King, besides this aspect, if possible, we can also win over certain natives on Douluo Planet."
The Abyssal Sage King's brows slightly twitched.
"How so?"
The Wisdom Emperor explained.
"They don't need their strength to be too strong, they only need to be able to become our undercover agents."
"Perhaps by then, it can play an unexpected role."
As soon as those words fell, a rough voice rang out.
"Hehe, as long as we report the Sage King's majestic name, won't that group of humans obediently submit?"
The one speaking was a huge and fat figure, its body size resembling a small mountain, not looking like a human at all—it was precisely Bahuang.
Hearing these words, the corners of the Abyssal Sage King's mouth couldn't help but curl up slightly. These words were well-said, and he was quite happy to hear them.
"Remember not to be careless. The subsequent arrangements are left to you all; this seat wants to see results."
The Abyssal Sage King's gaze swept across all the Abyss Kings present.
"Once everything is properly arranged... all of you will go into battle together with this Sage King."
As soon as these words were spoken, the Wisdom Emperor and the others knelt on one knee one after another, shouting in unison.
"We swear to follow the Sage King to the death!"
"Offer victory to the Sage King!"
Their voices echoed throughout the palace, filled with loyalty.
Looking at those kneeling figures below, a flash of satisfaction crossed the Abyssal Sage King's scarlet-red eyes.
His gaze continued to fall upon that Douluo Planet.
"Devouring the entire Douluo Planet and letting the Abyss Plane evolve into the Divine Realm is not far off. By then, this seat will be able to prove himself to Mother."
...
On the plaza in front of Shrek Academy's main gate.
That black Abyssal Passage was still open there, emanating a terrifying aura of darkness.
Around the passage, the ground that had originally been cleaned up was once again starting to show movement at this moment.
A burst of low buzzing sounds transmitted out from the passage. It sounded like the Abyssal Creatures were about to start moving again, and at this moment, everyone was standing on strict alert.
Teacher Shen Yi's gaze fell upon Tang Wulin and the others, and then she spoke in a cold voice.
"Everyone get ready, the Abyssal Creatures are coming out."
These words fell clearly into everyone's ears, and just as these words dropped, countless Abyssal Creatures surged out from that black passage!
They were dense and covered the sky and earth, like a black torrent, spreading out in all directions!
Four-Clawed Bats, Devouring Lizards, Shadow Demons... and even more ferocious-looking, nameless Abyssal Creatures gushed out like a tidal wave!
Their eyes were scarlet, and viscous saliva drooled from their mouths, exuding a bloodthirsty killing intent.
At this time, fog also spread out following these Abyssal Creatures, blotting out the sky and sun. Under the blessing of that fog, these Abyssal Creatures seemed to have grown even stronger.
Ya Li used her Divine Origin Realm Mental Force to sense the strength of these Abyssal Creatures, discovering that powerhouses similar in Rank to the Abyssal Evil Scythe did not appear among them once again; most of them were basically just underlings.
Even if some underlings had never been seen before, underlings were still underlings.
Now this could give that group of children peace of mind to undergo actual combat training. Of course, they did not choose to let down their guard. In the air, there were still hundreds of black-rank mecha making preparations, and at the same time, those powerhouses of the Quasi-God Rank were also closely monitoring what would happen next.
As teachers, the primary task they had to do right now was to ensure the safety of the students, and of course, they couldn't erase the opportunity for them to train through combat either.
Otherwise, Ya Li could directly use her holy power to wipe out these Abyssal Creatures.
"I've noticed, are these Abyssal Creatures such that the stronger their strength, the longer the time required for them to recover?"
Lan Muzi's gaze also fell among the crowd of Abyssal Creatures, discovering that there were basically no Abyssal Creatures above the Titled Douluo Rank, and that Abyssal Evil Scythe had even less of an appearance.
"After all, an ability like resurrection cannot be without cost. Of course, being able to resurrect by merely spending time is the cheapest cost."
Zang Xin slowly spoke.
"Are these Abyssal Creatures? So ugly!"
Looking at these quite ugly Abyssal Creatures, Xiao Hongchen couldn't help but speak.
"Get ready to go up."
As he spoke, Tang Wulin's hands both transformed into golden Dragon claws, directly pouncing toward the nearest Abyssal Creatures.
The rest of the people also followed closely behind.
