However, would this fellow from another plane affect her subsequent plans?
Gu Yuena ran a slender finger across her lips. "Once I've recovered a bit more, I'll pay this guy a visit."
Of course, Gu Yuena didn't take things to the absolute extreme; she at least had the Silver Dragon Spear leave a small amount of Divine Consciousness energy from the Abyssal Sage for Huo Yuhao, considering it his payment.
...
Star Emperor Hotel.
"Sigh..."
Just then, a distant and long sigh suddenly rang out. This sigh appeared very abruptly, yet it was incredibly strange.
One couldn't help but wonder if God King Tang had some sort of mental illness; whether it was in the era of Tang Wulin or Lan Xuanyu, he always had to let out a sigh upon appearing to showcase his compassionate heart and signal the return of the Sea God.
The terrifying energy that Wang Dong originally couldn't resist was neutralized. Her entire body rose into the air like a puppet on strings, floating in mid-air as deep sea-blue and golden ripples of light shimmered around her.
Wang Dong opened her eyes. The pink-blue eyes that were originally clear and tinged with a hint of silliness had turned into a deep, complex blue-gold, looking down upon the Charm Empress from a high-and-mighty posture.
The Charm Empress curled her lips into a mocking arc. "As expected, you've come..."
As the ruler of the Abyssal Plane, the Abyssal Sage could naturally transform into the appearance and abilities of any race within his plane at will. The one he had projected to the Douluo Continent this time was an Abyssal Spirit Dragon under his personal control, carrying a sliver of his Divine Consciousness.
An Abyssal Spirit Dragon was no weakling. In the Abyssal Plane, even the clan leaders of the levels beyond the thirtieth floor couldn't compare to a single Abyssal Spirit Dragon. Normally, it could exert power no less than that of a human Limit Douluo.
Since the Douluo God Realm and the Plane Ruler were both present, it was impossible for him to descend upon the Douluo Continent in his entirety. What he sent this time was merely one Abyssal Spirit Dragon; because the spatial distance was too great, some energy would be lost during the journey. It was roughly equivalent to a Rank 98 human Super Douluo, and under the suppression of the Douluo Continent's plane power, it reached the Super Douluo level at most.
Then, this Abyssal Spirit Dragon split again. To deal with Wang Dong's side, it transformed into the Charm Empress, who excelled at concealment and assassination.
Given that the plane energy of Planet Douluo was still relatively abundant during this period, the plane's suppression was quite strong. Thus, the combat power this Charm Empress could exert could only barely match a Titled Douluo.
But even at the Titled Douluo level, it was enough to deploy a Domain to shield the surrounding people from Shrek Academy and complete the assassination silently.
So, out of necessity, Tang San took action...
The Divine Consciousness Tang San left within Wang Dong's Sea of Consciousness had been backstabbed by the joint efforts of Electrolux and the Silver Dragon King, losing a full 90% of its volume. Fortunately, this remaining wisp of Divine Consciousness fled quickly, returning to Wang Dong's Sea of Consciousness before it could be refined by Electrolux.
The key issue was that Tang San didn't dare to casually bring his daughter back to the God Realm. If she appeared before Xiao Wu like this—looking at a daughter with a fractured soul—wouldn't Xiao Wu fight him to the death?
Moreover, once she was brought up, it would be difficult to send her back down... the God of Destruction would surely use all sorts of excuses to block him.
Originally, he wanted those two Tang family livestock from the Clear Sky Sect... oh no, his younger brothers-in-law, to take Wang Dong back to the Clear Sky Sect to replenish her Divine Consciousness. However, for some reason, the Ascension Pavilion of the Clear Sky Sect had been destroyed, and Niu Tian and Titan were also heavily injured, so the matter had been delayed.
He had planned to keep this as a trump card for his ten-thousand-year grand plan, but for his daughter's safety, he could only use the Vast Sea Cosmic Crystal he left in the Golden Ancient Tree to replenish her...
"Regardless, by daring to strike at the daughter of me, Tang San, you have already found the 'Path to Death'. Surrender now!"
"Wang Dong" held a manifested Sea God Trident. Circles of golden light appeared, flying out silently toward the Charm Empress.
Unfixed Storm, Tang San's signature move.
A flash of impatience and wariness crossed the Charm Empress's eyes. This move again!
Aren't there any fresh tricks?
Back then, the Abyssal Sage died under the control of Unfixed Storm and the great hammer of Tang Hao, so he had naturally thought of a way to counter this move.
Unfortunately, the Heavenly Sacred Splitting Abyss Halberd could not be transmitted to Planet Douluo, so...
A cruel smile flashed across the Charm Empress's face, but in the eyes of Tang San who was controlling Wang Dong, this smile was laced with... mockery toward him.
The grey-white light on the Charm Empress instantly retracted toward its center. Before those golden rings of Unfixed Storm could envelop it, the abyssal energy across its entire body began to riot with extreme instability.
Allow me to introduce myself; my name is the Jade-Faced Grenade King.
"Bastard!"
"Wang Dong's" expression changed instantly. The Sea God Trident was held horizontally in front of her body as blue-gold light enveloped the entire room.
It wasn't that Tang San's heart had suddenly grown kind enough to save the other people in the hotel. As a Law Enforcer of the God Realm, he first had to lead by example and obey the law. If his Divine Consciousness appeared in the lower realm again, it could very well draw unnecessary trouble.
But the power of a Titled Douluo's self-detonation was immense! That power would certainly be no less than a Rank 9 stationary soul tool shell.
And happening within a single room, the narrow space would naturally make the killing power of the explosion even more devastating.
"Ugh..."
...
A grey wind blew across the land, passing over a scene of desolation. The entire world seemed to be grey, as if condensed from countless ashes.
On a massive throne, the Abyssal Sage slowly opened a pair of pure black eyes.
His forest-white long hair fluttered slightly as he propped his chin with one hand, his lips curling up slightly.
On the surface, he had lost a wisp of Divine Consciousness plus the abyssal energy contained within an Abyssal Spirit Dragon.
But in reality, he had made a huge profit.
He had obtained intelligence regarding the Douluo Continent—for instance, that the Spirit Ice Douluo Huo Yuhao was also a reincarnator and had already made contact with the Silver Dragon King Gu Yuena in advance, and so on...
Most importantly, he had finally scouted the situation of Tang Hao and Ah Yin.
Currently, he had not fully grasped the plane power of Planet Douluo, nor had he replaced the Plane Consciousness; they were still in a stage of pulling back and forth.
As for the Blue Silver Emperor... something likely went wrong, but it was certain that she had not become the Life Core of the Douluo Continent either.
A pity that the assassination of Tang Wutong was blocked by Tang San. He estimated that the self-detonation of that Charm Empress clone didn't kill Tang Wutong, but she should be injured.
No matter, the harvest this time was already plentiful.
"Then this seat shall look forward to seeing how wonderful the news will be when Tang San learns of his parents' death!"
The Abyssal Sage stood up from the throne. With a wave of his hand, a blue-purple halberd appeared in his hand.
The ultra-divine artifact of the Abyss, the Heavenly Sacred Splitting Abyss Halberd.
He stared fixedly at the Heavenly Sacred Splitting Abyss Halberd, but no emotion could be seen in the Abyssal Sage's pure black eyes.
