Chapter 214: Impossible!
2023-04-04 Author: Fu Hejun
In the video.
One could see the originally aquamarine Douluo Star gradually transforming to a grayish-red. The grey was the land, and the red was the water.
The soil was turning a lifeless black-grey, while the seawater was becoming a highly corrosive scarlet liquid... Nearly eighty to ninety percent of the entire planet had already been Abyss-ified.
Only the humans on the planet were still struggling to resist, fighting with all their might against the Abyss Demons. This was not a war between two human armies, where surrender might lead to survival. Giving up resistance would surely mean death! Resistance, however, offered a chance at victory.
The living beings on the Douluo Continent had no choice but to resist.
However, as the entire planet gradually became Abyss-ified, these demons gained enhancements from the environment, growing increasingly powerful in strength. In contrast, the resisting humans and Soul Beast experts were suppressed... even their ability to recover energy was severely affected.
The three God Kings were now engaged in a bitter struggle, their bodies covered in wounds. The Silver Dragon King revealed her true form, Neptune summoned seawater, Sun Zhongjing spread plague... all desperately holding back four Archdemons.
But it was clear to anyone with discernment that the defeat of the three God Kings was only a matter of time.
Once these three God Kings, representing the peak of combat power, were defeated, the entire World would be truly beyond saving.
The survival of the World hung by a thread.
"What should we do? What should we do! Is there really no hope left?!"
"Damn it! This Tang San is too despicable!"
"Is the future truly a dead end?"
"Where is City Lord Ye? Why isn't City Lord Ye here yet?"
"It's over. Even if we win this battle in the end, it's probably only a matter of time before the World falls into the Abyss..."
"It's completely over..."
Many audience members in the Live Broadcast Room became emotionally invested, growing extremely anxious. They knew that what was playing was the future, and if not for this video, this was the future they would have originally experienced.
Even with the video providing an early warning now, if the future still ended in utter defeat despite so many advantages, then they could truly not imagine how dark the future would be.
Just thinking about becoming such disgusting Abyss Creatures, everyone felt extreme repulsion, both physically and psychologically. They even felt it would be better to die than to become a Demon.
Not everyone was like Tang San, willing to transform into an ugly Demon for power. Most people still had upright values and principles and would rather die than yield.
Fortunately, at this moment, a turning point arrived.
The scene in the video suddenly jumped from the grayish-red Douluo Star to the universe, then to the Sun, displaying the changes from a macroscopic perspective.
The constantly burning Sun suddenly paused!
This celestial body of infinite light actually dimmed.
It lasted for about three seconds.
The lost light only then re-ignited.
The Sun seemed to be exactly as it was before, with nothing having changed.
Only the audience in the Live Broadcast Room knew that what had just occurred was absolutely not an illusion. The Sun truly dimmed for a moment, as if all its energy had been instantly drained during that time.
Although it was merely three seconds, the sheer amount of energy the Sun lost in those three seconds was evident just from its colossal size.
The video scene jumped again, returning to Douluo Star.
At this point, Douluo Star had almost entirely turned into a mix of grey and red, no longer its original vibrant aquamarine. This meant that virtually ninety-nine percent or more of the entire planet had been completely Abyss-ified. It was likely that only a small core remained, stubbornly resisting.
Meanwhile, the living beings still alive on the planet involuntarily began to mutate, either growing horny growths, developing snake tails, their heads transforming into goat heads, or sprouting strange scales... All creatures' appearances gradually became bizarre and grotesque.
This was the environment's influence on living beings.
At this moment, only God-level experts could barely resist the Abyss's influence. However, they couldn't hold on for too long; they merely possessed greater strength and resistance. As they became more severely eroded by the Abyss environment, it wouldn't be long before they followed in the footsteps of others.
"Is the World truly doomed?!"
A God-level Soul Master watched his former compatriots around him constantly undergo mutations, gradually transforming into detestable Abyss Creatures. He couldn't help but look up at the Sky Curtain, black and hazy, revealing a look of despair. He completely abandoned resistance.
The surrounding Abyss Aura surged upwards.
In an instant, this God-level expert's body began to swell. Two ox horns grew on his head, fangs appeared in his mouth, red fur and black scales sprouted on his body, and all four of his limbs mutated into beast feet... He became the first God-level expert to be corroded by the Abyss and transform into a Demon.
After him, it was as if a chain reaction had been triggered.
One after another, many God-level experts were corroded by the Abyss and mutated into Abyss Demons!
And as soon as these experts were mutated into Demons, it was as if their souls were also corrupted, and they immediately began to attack the surviving creatures.
On the other side, Sun Zhongjing, Neptune, and the Silver Dragon King, three God King-level experts, were also nearing their limits.
For experts of their level, it was actually quite difficult to kill an opponent. Therefore, after the four Archdemons discovered it was hard to kill the three God Kings, they decisively chose a flanking and evading combat tactic. They simply refused to engage the three God Kings head-on, merely stalling for time.
And as time was stalled, the World, after being corroded by the Abyss, instinctively began to suppress non-Abyss Creatures. Consequently, the three God Kings' condition worsened, and by now, they were almost completely exhausted.
The Silver Dragon King, having revealed her true form, now had a beautiful body that was covered in flesh and blood, even showing signs of decay and necrosis. She was only enduring by relying on her formidable cultivation.
Sun Zhongjing and Neptune also bore wounds; their faces were disheveled and covered in blood, their forms no longer possessing the majesty of a God King.
"Hahaha, die!"
Tang San watched the Silver Dragon King, whose movements had slowed to a point where she could barely resist, and with a sinister grin, he raised the twisted trident made of bones in his hand and hurled it at her!
Just as she was about to be killed in one blow.
Suddenly, an extremely dazzling, ineffably magnificent light burst forth from the Silver Dragon King's body!
At this moment, the World abruptly cleared!
Within this ineffably magnificent light, the Silver Dragon King's injuries instantly healed, her shattered scales regrew, and her broken bones were forced out of her body, with new bones growing within...
"Roar!!"
The beautiful Silver Dragon suddenly roared towards the sky!
The white light radiating from her body actually illuminated more than half of the planet.
"This... how is this possible?!"
Tang San watched in disbelief as the Silver Dragon King, who had suddenly become as if pumped full of stimulants, not only recovered from her injuries but also saw her strength rapidly increasing. Thinking of Contract Soul Master, a conjecture he didn't even dare to imagine immediately formed in his mind.
Could it be that...
"No! Impossible! How could it be such a coincidence!"
Tang San shook his ugly large head in disbelief, as if trying to convince himself, then violently threw the bones trident in his hand. But before it even approached the Silver Dragon King, it was purified by the white light emanating from her body.
