A moment later, Gu Yuena arrived at a black, diamond-shaped cube. This monolith stood a thousand meters tall, appearing massive even before the Silver Dragon King. She launched an immediate attack, but neither her strikes nor her probing touches elicited any response from the structure.
Periodically, the black cube spewed a thick, black-red mist. As the fog dissipated, a swarm of Abyssal creatures would manifest. Based on these newly appeared monsters, Gu Yuena determined that the grade of this Abyssal Rift was at the Soul King level. She ignored these creatures; they were endless and impossible to fully eradicate through simple slaughter. She had to resolve the Abyssal invasion at its source.
Once she became the Master of the Abyss, she could stop the invasion permanently. Humanity and Soul Beasts alike would no longer suffer the predations of these creatures. Tearing through space repeatedly, Gu Yuena continued her search for other rifts.
Eventually, she reached the center of the Far North, standing atop the snowy peak where the Snow Empress once resided. A ten-thousand-meter-tall black octahedron floated above the summit. Its staggering size reminded Gu Yuena of the equally massive Blue Silver Life Mecha. Her starlit purple eyes flickered with emotion before hardening with resolve. She charged headlong into the black octahedral cube.
Unlike her previous attempts, she successfully breached the interior of the Abyssal Rift. Surveying her surroundings, she found herself in a Titled Douluo-level Abyssal plane, teeming with high-level Abyssal monsters: Abyssal Scythes, Spirit Dragons, Abyssal Puppets, Six-Clawed Demon Emperors, Death Knights, Vampires, Cyclopes, and Shadow Dragons.
Beneath a blood-colored sky lay a landscape of molten lava, where the black earth occasionally cracked open to release gale-force winds. The Silver Dragon King felt an immediate sense of profound discomfort. The air was thick with the acrid scent of harsh chemicals, and the winds howling through the valleys sounded like the shrieks of demons. Strange peaks, demon caves, wind tunnels, and cliffs dotted the horizon, while the sky was thick with flying Abyssal monsters.
The moment she appeared, countless Titled Douluo-level monsters swarmed toward her. The Silver Dragon King's body flashed with a nine-colored light, instantly altering the harsh environment to a distribution of soul power particles best suited for her. Then, a powerful mental storm swept across the battlefield. In an instant, hundreds of Titled Douluo-level monsters bled from their orifices and died on the spot. Half-step God-King level mental power was not something these creatures could hope to withstand.
Upon killing them, she noticed her "Abyssal Blessing" increasing, and the hostility of the Abyssal plane toward her weakened slightly. Within this space, she sensed her sealed strength returning at an incredible speed. Consequently, she began a systematic hunt, searching for a way into the true Abyssal Plane.
The Abyssal Rifts were not the true Abyssal Plane itself, but rather a product of the fusion between the Douluo Plane and the Abyss. Currently, these rifts were controlled by the Abyss. As Gu Yuena's kill count rose, so did her Abyssal Blessing. She realized that this "blessing" represented more than just authority; it was the precursor to Abyssal Laws—the foundation of an Abyssal Godhead.
Though these laws were currently weak—since the Abyss had not yet ascended to a Divine Realm—they were significant. Once the Abyss ascended, anyone with enough Abyssal Blessing could use these laws to create a Godhead. A God's combat power consisted of divine power, a Godhead (laws), and divine tools. The essence of the Abyssal Blessing was "Law." Therefore, possessing it essentially made one a "Demi-God."
However, the laws gained from killing these monsters were minuscule. The laws gained by ordinary Douluo soldiers were even smaller. While negligible to a God, for a Soul Master, the combat boost provided by these laws was terrifying. For Gu Yuena, however, they were still pitifully sparse.
Once she accumulated enough blessing, the Abyssal Plane began to identify her as one of its own. The innate hostility vanished. While the monsters didn't see her as an ally, their desire to attack her dropped significantly. Gu Yuena stopped her slaughter and began darting through the rift, searching for its core.
Finally, she found a black cube at the center of a lava lake. This cube was not ten thousand meters tall, but only a few meters in size. Delighted, she snatched the core into her palm. However, no matter how she tried to activate it, the core remained unresponsive.
"Is it because the rift hasn't been fully cleared?" she murmured. Perhaps one needed to conquer the rift entirely or possess a higher level of blessing to use the core as a gateway.
"A mere trick," she said coldly. she had no time to play hunting games with these monsters. The Silver Dragon King decisively connected with her origin and the Transcendent Divine Tool, the "Dragon God Core." Since the rift was so close to the Abyss, the Douluo Plane's consciousness could not detect her. She no longer feared being suppressed for unleashing her full power.
Her silver origin erupted in nine-colored light, illuminating the blood-red rift. Her body grew exponentially, reaching a height of three thousand meters with a wingspan of six thousand! Her scales, like works of art, now shimmered with a nine-colored luster atop their silver base. Fully restored, she let out an exhilarated dragon roar. Her physical body had reached the level of a First-Class God, while her mental power was at the God-King level—specifically, a God-King specializing in the mental domain.
With her mental power restored, she scanned the core, her penetrating consciousness instantly decoding its structure. She successfully obtained the coordinates for the first level of the Abyssal Plane and tore through space.
---
The void was a twisted nothingness, but she charged through. Passing through a narrow, distorted time-space tunnel, she landed on the first level of the Abyss. Upon arrival, the suppression on her decreased even further. On this level, her physical body was at the very limit of what the plane could handle, meaning she was no longer hindered as she had been in the rift.
The sky was the color of curdled blood, shrouded in a permanent gloom without sun, moon, or stars. There was an eerie, terrifying silence—no wind, no birds, no sound of life. Below, the continent was draped in total darkness. Gu Yuena's body glowed with light elements, turning her massive form into a miniature sun.
The light revealed a vast, flat grey-black plain that looked as if it were covered in ash. In the center stood a spiraling mountain peak, tens of thousands of meters wide, piercing the blood-red sky. She stood on the mountainside, unable to see the peak, but her intuition told her the Abyssal Demon Palace was at the very top.
With a flash of silver light, she teleported to the summit. Before her stood the grand, dark-purple Abyssal Demon Palace. Its wide gates looked like the mouth of hell, ready to swallow everything.
"Who dares trespass upon my dwelling?!" a roar echoed from within. A dark-purple figure appeared at the gates. He had translucent, crystal-white hair, a pale but handsome face, and eyes that were entirely black—void of any white, like deep abysses. He wore a long black robe with wide collars and a massive cloak that trailed behind him.
The Abyssal Sage was momentarily stunned by the three-thousand-meter dragon before him. While size didn't always equate to strength, one would be a fool to treat a dragon of this scale as a minor threat.
"Who are you? Why have you come to my plane?" the Sage asked, his tone softening slightly.
Gu Yuena reverted to her human form, appearing as a silver-haired girl. Her starlit hair, galaxy-like purple eyes, and a face that could put all living beings to shame caused the Abyssal Sage to lose himself for a moment. Assessing his strength, Gu Yuena felt relieved. He was still at the level of a First-Class God, posing no threat to her current self.
Ignoring his question, she connected with the Dragon God Core. Looking into his black eyes, she spoke calmly. "My name is Gu Yuena, the Silver Dragon King."
"By the decree of the Dragon God, submit to me!"
With the boost from the Dragon God Core, her cold voice acted like a demonic enchantment. The Sage's First-Class God-level mental defenses were instantly shattered. His black pupils turned silver, and his expression shifted from dazed to reverent. He dropped to one knee.
"I obey your command, Lady Silver Dragon King."
"Why did the Abyss choose to invade the Douluo Star?" she asked. "How did you find its coordinates?"
"My Lady, the Abyssal Plane encountered the Douluo Star by chance during a cosmic storm. Because the Douluo Star has such deep foundations, the Abyss could ascend to a Divine Realm by devouring it. The decision to invade was made jointly by myself and the will of the Abyssal Plane."
"I see," she murmured. Was this a chain reaction caused by the disappearance of the Divine Realm? "Transfer all your Abyssal Blessing—your authority and laws—to me," she commanded.
The Sage's body trembled as if making a final struggle, but he could not resist her God-King level mental pressure. After a moment, a blue-purple halberd appeared in his hand. It was covered in intricate, shimmering textures.
"My Lady, this is the 'Heavenly Saint Abyssal Rift Halberd,' a Transcendent Divine Tool birthed by this plane. All my laws are within it. Whoever holds it controls the Abyss," the Sage explained.
Gu Yuena nodded; it matched the fragments of her memory. Once she absorbed its laws and became the Abyssal Master, she thought she might give the weapon to Ye Lan. It seemed more suited for a man. Having found a convenient excuse for the gift, she reached for it.
"Hand it to me."
The Sage's body shook again as he stepped forward. He reached out, seemingly reluctant, and held it before her. Gu Yuena grasped the halberd, feeling its terrifying energy and the vast Abyssal Blessing within.
But just as her focus shifted to the weapon, a golden light flashed. A golden spear pierced through her body. Silver blood splattered across the grey earth. Her pupils shrank in shock as she looked at the Abyssal Sage.
His silver eyes had turned into golden dragon pupils. His lips curled into a contemptuous smirk.
"Jin... Golden Dragon King!" Gu Yuena's skin crawled. In an instant, she understood why the Abyss had felt so familiar, how it had found the Douluo Star, and the strange nature of the invasion. It was all his plan.
The Golden Dragon King hoisted her up with his spear, laughing wildly. "Silver Dragon King! You didn't expect this, did you?!"
"I found your trail long ago when I escaped the Divine Realm. However, due to the plane's suppression on the Douluo Star, I—who specialize in the physical body—couldn't defeat you there! But now, if I absorb you, I will become the Dragon God!"
"The Douluo Star will become my new Divine Realm!"
Enduring the agony in her chest, Gu Yuena unleashed a desperate mental shock. The Golden Dragon King began to bleed from his ears and nose, his head throbbing, but he snarled through the pain. "We are both origins of the Dragon God! Do you not want to restore the Soul Beast race?!"
He ripped the spear out and plunged it back into her chest, silver blood spraying the ground. He laughed maniacally. "Come, return to the embrace of the Dragon God with me!"
