"You—!"
That voice didn't actually transmit out.
Because the plane consciousness exerted its power, striking back the descending will from the other side.
For these past six thousand years, because Tang Hao seized power, the Abyss Plane had bullied it for being weak and powerless, plundering untold amounts of energy from the Douluo Continent.
Now, it was officially moving against the Abyss Saint Lord for the first time, firmly blocking him outside!
In the past, if the Abyss Saint Lord saw that the other side actually had a plane consciousness, he would have just withdrawn and switched to another plane.
But now he couldn't; he could only bite the bullet and press on, as only one side could survive.
The winner takes all!
The Abyss Saint Lord's fury was completely undisguised; he was visibly anxious.
A world-shaking attack instantly blasted through the barriers of the two planes!
With a First-Class God's full power unleashed, the Seal forged by predecessors was completely vulnerable!
The abyssal energy that had been slowly surging suddenly turned violent, transforming into a galloping angry tide that rolled frantically within the passage.
That monstrous rage originating from the Plane Master transformed into a physical destructive pressure, ruthlessly crushing the entire spatial passage, even grinding the dust in the air into nothingness.
Then in the next second, the Douluo plane consciousness completely blocked the opponent back again.
If they were out in the Void Realm, the Douluo plane consciousness, which hadn't yet recovered to its peak, would be no match for the opponent.
But simply blocking them outside its own home... was a piece of cake!!!
The plane consciousness was shouting!
It had waited for this day to hold its head high for too long!
"I have waited for six thousand years."
"Just to wait for an opportunity!"
"I want to fight for my dignity."
"Striking today isn't to prove that I'm great."
"It's to tell you that the things I lost, I will definitely take back!"
"Thirty years east of the river, thirty years west of the river—do not look down on a plane just because it's poor!"
Is that really necessary?
Looking at the plane consciousness acting like a mad dog, the enraged Abyss Saint Lord calmed down again.
A stalemate like this was no solution.
He decided to send his subordinates over to try. King against king, general against general.
Since they couldn't do anything to each other, they would see whose generals were more powerful.
Moreover, if they killed that brat who had cooked all this up, they might be able to undo the anchor.
And so an Abyssal Tide was whipped up... Long Yuxue didn't know what had happened.
She also couldn't tell at all what kind of world-shaking thing Arthur had done in that brief moment just now, let alone perceive the descent and confrontation of the Abyss Saint Lord.
She only saw Arthur holding that Holy Lance, saying a few words to the air.
Something about whether he'd eaten breakfast, how the other guy couldn't take a joke, just kidding with him. A whole bunch of gibberish.
Then, the air shattered.
Not as a figure of speech.
It really shattered.
She saw with her own eyes that the thick abyssal energy at the end of the passage seemed to be seized by an invisible palm and suddenly contracted inward for a moment.
Immediately after.
"Buzz—!"
The entire passage... no, it was all the passages, the entire mountain!
Simultaneously let out a muffled groan.
The protective patterns on the rock walls were like snakes struck by a whip, twisting and cracking frantically.
Before Long Yuxue's knees could even straighten, they went soft again. This time it wasn't pressure, but pure instinctive fear, like a rabbit pinned under a tiger's paw, unable to even conceive the thought of running away.
Xia Xi's fur bristled on top of her head, and she instantly ran back into Arthur's Sea of Consciousness.
Despite such a huge commotion, the Holy Dragon King didn't come out to watch the fun; the shadow of almost being refined by Gu Yue last time still lingered.
So no matter how big the commotion, he wouldn't come out to look.
Anyway, he couldn't help with big matters, and small matters didn't need help.
"Arthur... Arthur... the Abyssal Tide, an Abyssal Tide has broken out!"
Long Yuxue's voice squeezed out of her throat, dry as sandpaper.
The end of the passage lit up.
It wasn't light.
It was the abyss.
Countless energies were no longer a trickling stream but a dam-bursting angry tide, pouring out simultaneously from every crevice she could see and every depth she couldn't.
"Wooo—"
A low whistling sound approached from afar, carrying countless sharp screeches... and a certain extremely ancient anger.
That was the wrath of a plane.
Arthur withdrew his spear.
The Holy Lance dissipated into a beam of light in his hand.
"This kid really can't take a joke."
He originally didn't want to make such a big scene; he had planned to retreat when the Abyss Saint Lord looked over. He didn't expect the Douluo Plane to be unwilling instead, helping him with all its might to succeed in anchoring.
This whole mess... better slip away first.
"What are you standing there for? Run!"
Long Yuxue snapped back to her senses.
"Right, let's go! A Rank 3 Abyssal Tide... no, even higher!"
She had no time to think carefully about the strangeness of Arthur. Her survival instinct and soldier's duty made her react by suddenly reaching out, grabbing Arthur's wrist, and pulling him with all her strength to turn and run.
Her voice was trembling, filled with undisguisable panic: "This isn't a power we can resist, get back to the Blood God Legion's defense line quickly!"
The commotion of the tide was already so great that even the rock walls were dropping debris. She tripped, nearly falling.
"Too slow." Arthur caught her by the waist.
He could clearly feel that venomous gaze from the Abyss Saint Lord behind him, like a maggot on a bone, wishing to tear him to pieces.
The Abyss Saint Lord was mobilizing the power of the entire Abyss Plane to completely obliterate him, the culprit who had pinned the plane passage, and a terrifying tide of Abyssal Creatures was already gathering deep in the passage.
A black torrent was rushing frantically toward them.
"You..."
"I'll teach you a lesson first: the ability with the highest priority in cultivation is being able to run."
Long Yuxue subconsciously wrapped her arms around his neck.
Then her whole person flew out.
Behind them, that gray-black destructive torrent had completely swallowed the spot where they had just been standing and was catching up at a visible speed, tearing the defensive works along the way into fragments like they were made of paper.
Ear-piercing alarms exploded from the passage entrance.
"Abyssal Tide! Abyssal Tide intensity... cannot be determined! Repeat, cannot be determined!"
"Requesting backup! Requesting..."
The voice on the other side of the broadcast was interrupted by a deafening roar.
Long Yuxue gripped Arthur's collar tightly, her nails almost embedding into the fabric.
She was terrified.
"Faster, faster, go faster!"
"Activate your Battle Armor! Get more speed!" Long Yuxue urged urgently. Looking back, she only saw pitch black at the end of the passage, the terrifying airflow like a giant beast's open mouth, wanting to swallow them whole.
"Don't worry, it's fine."
"To think we'd run into an Abyssal Tide just like that, Rank 4... maybe higher. Was it because of something you just did?" Before she finished, Long Yuxue shook her head again: "Forget it, how could it be because of that."
"Hehe." Arthur awkwardly changed the subject: "This Rank 4 you mentioned, what kind of level is that roughly?"
He wasn't taking the blame for whipping up the Abyssal Tide.
It was clearly Douluo's plane consciousness that insisted on it.
Long Yuxue's expression was grave: "Ordinary Abyssal Tides are only Rank 1 or 2, and conventional shields can withstand them."
