Su Ming's departure from the frontline had led to the Abyssal Sage King striking twice in succession, breaking through and forcing Douluo Planet's battle line to retreat somewhat.
However, Su Ming's sudden return, coupled with his immediate threat of self-destruction, caused the Abyssal side to not react in time, all retreating considerably. Additionally, Su Ming's position was very special, directly cutting off about a quarter of the channel.
The spatial channel between the two planes was now very stable.
Near the Abyss's side of the channel, the environment was like a cavern, with intricate tunnels forming chaotic terrain. The space each tunnel could accommodate was also limited.
However, the Douluo side was pioneered and didn't like the cavern environment, so all caverns were essentially dug open.
Now, apart from the entire spatial channel still fixed the form of a huge cave, there were no superfluous structures elsewhere. It was like a vast plain. Apart from some sparse Blue Silver Grass, there were no other plants, only residual mountain rock and stone spikes that couldn't be completely cleared.
During the Battle of the Pioneers, the reason Yun Ming was irreplaceable was that he had planted his spear directly at the one-third mark in the cavern-filled environment, giving the rear Blood God Legion the chance to transform the battlefield.
After the channel was transformed, the width of the ground could accommodate a hundred people fighting simultaneously without hindrance.
A Spirit King or Spirit Emperor fighting would also be more than enough.
Su Ming had advanced directly from the one-quarter mark to the one-third mark, occupying only the edge position. The range of his self-destruction threat directly covered a quarter of the channel's cross-sectional area.
He didn't stand still in the middle, but rather at the edge. This made it easier for him to hold on and allowed the rear Blood God Legion to catch up as quickly as possible.
Simultaneously, this position was also where he planned to open the Demon Gate.
As Yuan'en Yehui's power reached a limit, she She also lost her reason. In an instant, she succumbed to someone else's appearance. Her eyes were eerie, devoid of any color belonging to Yuan'en Yehui. It was as if she had become another person, proclaiming her sacrifice to the Demon Sovereign.
Su Ming did not stop her, allowing her to open the Demon Gate. Then, the two Limit Douluos from the Angel Family attacked one after the other, directly knocking Yuan'en Yehui unconscious, sealing her, and sending her to the rear.
Su Ming crossed his arms, watching the Demon Gate slowly open. Yuan'en Zhentian also stared intently at this portal, scenes of his family's past slaughter flashing through his mind. His eyes were faintly red, beginning to radiate killing intent. Su Ming noticed this and gestured for him not to provoke the lesser demons. As the Demon Gate took shape, the smaller demons also emerged.
The portal was over ten meters tall. As it took shape, a massive arm extended from within, followed by another.
The two arms spanned five meters... He clung to the portal from both sides, as if trying to pry it open, and crawled out. This small demon possessed only a barely Nine-Tier aura.
Su Ming watched him emerge, then more small demons emerged from behind him, but did not intervene.
The small demon was also puzzled.
However, glancing behind Su Ming, seeing the lush life force in the distance, the immense energy impacted his senses, instantly making him greedy.
Finally, a total of nine small demons emerged. With the appearance of these nine Nine-Tier demons, the Demon Gate began to tremble, seemingly on the verge of collapse from bearing their presence. How could this be allowed? A Limit Douluo felt urgent, wanting to intervene to stabilize the portal, but a look from Su Ming made him give up.
Su Ming was speechless.
This person's exposed aura was too strong, almost shattering his illusion from the outside.
"What are you worried about?"
"Under my illusion, these demons' perception of this area..."
It remains at the level of a beautiful hunting ground teeming with life.
Without needing them to exert force, the demons would act on their own. In fact, on the other side of the Abyssal channel, at this moment, the Abyssal Sage King stood before the channel entrance, silently waiting.
His gaze, through Abyssal laws, seemed to pierce through layers of caves, seeing the appearance of the Demon Gate. "The Demon Plane?" The Abyssal Sage King was surprised, then dismissed it. He knew of this plane. It was a fellow plane.
But a lower-ranking one. The Abyss was an energy-type plane. This was the Abyss's greatest feature, allowing it to easily relocate within the cosmos, then devour material planes, draining all energy before escaping, then continuing its search for a target.
The Demon Plane was much less advanced. It was itself a material plane. So after finding prey, it could only plunder the energy of the opposite world and its life force. However, no matter how much... It plundered; even if it ruled the entire plane, slaughtering everything and devouring the primordial energy of heaven and earth for thousands or even tens of thousands of years, it might not be able to digest even a hundredth of a plane.
This was because many things were immovable property. Besides, the Demon Plane also had to establish spatial channels, incurring considerable losses. Therefore, all things considered, the Demon Plane was significantly lower than the Abyss. However... no matter how low its status, it was still a material plane.
Since Meat had offered itself up, the Abyssal Sage King wouldn't refuse to consume it. The Demon Plane's size was smaller than Douluo's, but it was still a superior plane among sub-divine planes. Even if there were no divine-level demons within the plane, its energy was sufficient to create a god-level powerhouse.
"This Su Ming, at this time, actually dares to attract foreign enemies. Truly confident."
The Abyssal Sage King snorted coldly.
"No amount of confidence equals the confidence from absolute strength."
He understood that Su Ming couldn't possibly possess power against him. The real trump card could only be the Sea God's contingency plan.
As long as it was baited out and the Sea God's contingency was consumed, then he could march in, directly forcefully destroy any of Douluo Planet's defenses.
"So, he is actually also baiting me. Is the establishment of this Demon Gate him creating an opportunity?"
"Hah, the Abyss's essence is Swallow. If you lured the Demon Plane, then I will first swallow the unthreatening Demon Plane. This Sovereign must thank you for the canapé."
Although already having thoughts for a feast, the Sage King indeed wasn't anxious.
He was also waiting, waiting for the Demon Gate to further stabilize.
Waiting for this channel constructed by the Demon Plane to stabilize to a At a certain level, ensuring this channel wouldn't be destroyed immediately by the Demon Sovereign.
Su Ming remained indifferent, watching the situation unfold.
The nine small demons greedily swallowed two mouthfuls of delicious life energy, wiped their mouths, and didn't dare to linger. They dispersed, then each condensed a demon gate above their heads.
The condensation of the nine demon gates proceeded very smoothly, delighting the nine small demons.
The hunting ground's environment was excellent. Not only was the life energy abundant, but the mobilization of heaven and earth energy was also very smooth and coordinated.
It's just that the life energy here was a bit hard to digest.
They rubbed their stomachs, continuing to expend energy to condense demon gates.
During the process of condensing the nine demon gates, they all quickly showed signs of exhaustion. They swallowed the surrounding 'life energy' before nodding in satisfaction, channeling the power converted from digesting this energy into the demon gates.
