"The great era of development for the Douluo Continent has officially begun!"
As Su Yu's voice fell, the soul masters of the Extreme North—who had originally been terrified by the sudden surge of abyssal creatures—now had a glimmer of fiery excitement in their eyes.
The Great Era of Development!
This term was not something Su Yu had just coined.
It was actually introduced by Su Yu a long time ago.
Back when the Sun and Moon Empire first launched its unification war, this term had already begun to circulate. At the time, the soul spirit cultivation system, the soul armor system, and the rune system were gradually spreading.
Especially within the military, none of this information was kept secret. As long as one contributed enough merit, they had a chance to obtain access to the foundational inheritances.
As each system began to spread, this notion of a "Great Era of Development" gradually gained acceptance.
Because the world of soul masters truly was on the brink of a massive wave of advancement—this was a monumental historical shift.
However, only now—with Su Yu's declaration at the moment of the Abyss's descent, witnessed by the tens of thousands of troops stationed in the Extreme North—did everyone fully understand what this "Great Era of Development" really meant.
"Hahaha! What is a great era of development? A change in systems? That's just a reform! A true era of great development is about reaching outward, seeking new frontiers—an era that will surpass any period of growth in the past!"
In this moment, tens of thousands of soul masters were stirred with passion.
The Abyss—this was the opportunity for the Douluo Continent's rise.
"There are at least ten thousand beings with Soul Emperor-level power or above, and over a thousand with Soul Saint-level strength. There are even more than a hundred Titled Douluo-level entities."
From the spatial rift, a massive number of abyssal creatures surged forth, invading the Douluo Continent.
The terrifying cold of the Extreme North did nothing to hinder these creatures' survival.
"Abyssal lifeforms are beings composed entirely of energy. Even if they perish, they simply return to the Abyssal Plane. So, fighting the Abyss cannot be a battle of attrition."
Or rather, more accurately—it cannot be a long-term battle of attrition.
Otherwise, the power of Douluo Continent would be continually worn down, while the Abyss remained unaffected. In fact, through the spatial rift that now linked the two realms, the Abyss would continually absorb the vitality of Douluo, growing even stronger.
However, while abyssal lifeforms do reincarnate upon death, the process still takes time. So, large-scale extermination over a short period can indeed deal a serious blow to them.
The abyssal creatures flooding into the Douluo Continent came in all shapes and forms, with numerous races present. At a glance, among the tens of thousands of invaders, there were at least a hundred distinct types.
Among them, two species appeared with the greatest frequency.
One type stood incredibly tall, with a head resembling a dragon's and a body the size of a small mountain. Their entire form was covered in dark green scales. They had three legs supporting their bulky frames and an extremely muscular upper body. Their arms were especially long, and each of their claws extended more than five meters. A massive tail dragged behind them.
They had four eyes, each one glowing with a sinister crimson light.
The aura they emitted ranked among the strongest of the abyssal species. Not only that, their numbers were significant—several hundred of them had appeared. While this might be considered average compared to the overall abyssal forces, their individual strength stood out starkly among the rest.
Almost every single one emitted energy equivalent to that of a Soul Saint or stronger.
And on top of that, their sheer size was overwhelming.
It was impossible not to notice.
This was one of the abyssal species: the Baan, known for their incredible vitality and consistently powerful individual strength.
Aside from their generally overwhelming auras, what drew the most attention to this group was the presence of the Baan King—the monarch of the Baan race—who had entered the Douluo Continent alongside the Abyssal army, radiating the aura of a Super Douluo.
In addition to the Baan King, another abyssal monarch had arrived, exuding the presence of an Ultimate Douluo.
That was the Charm Empress, ruler of the Succubi.
Succubi were also one of the main forces among the abyssal creatures invading the Douluo Continent. Out of the hundred-plus Titled Douluo-level enemies, thirty were succubi.
Each of them stood around two meters tall, with a pair of distinctive wings on their backs—resembling bat wings, but with much larger bone structures. Instead of ordinary membranous skin, the connecting tissue was covered in dark green scales.
Their figures were similar to human females, but their proportions were exaggerated: large chests and hips, incredibly narrow waists—far beyond what was typical for human women. Their eyes burned with eerie green flames, and their forearms and shins were lined with sharp, deadly spikes.
"These creatures we'll tentatively refer to as 'succubi' possess strong spiritual power. Be cautious of their psychic attacks," Su Yu warned the others, having sensed the mental fluctuations emitted by the succubi.
To be precise, it wasn't ordinary mental power, but rather energy with a strong spiritual inclination. As energy beings, abyssal creatures naturally had specific energy traits—these succubi, in particular, were clearly attuned to spiritual force.
For this battle against the Abyssal army, Su Yu and his team of eight were the main combatants. The massive Federal army and the Soul Armor divisions behind them served only as support forces.
The nearly hundred Titled Douluo-level abyssals, along with the Super Douluo-tier Baan King, the Ultimate Douluo-level Charm Empress, and another Ultimate Douluo-tier abyssal monarch with a terrifying aura—these would all be Su Yu's team's responsibility.
The abyssal creatures below Titled Douluo-level would be left to the Soul Armor corps supporting them.
As for the outermost forces—the soul engineer legions—they would provide long-range support, delivering suppressive fire to pin down and weaken the abyssal invaders.
"Their powers are strange as well. Their methods probably won't resemble anything common on Douluo Continent. Be cautious in battle," Electrolux added, evidently providing further detail about the succubi, building upon Su Yu's earlier warning.
Among abyssal creatures, many species weren't unique to the Abyss. Some occasionally appeared in other worlds as well. Electrolux had recognized several of them and shared what information he could.
After all, on the Divine Seal Plane, summoning magic existed. Electrolux had encountered not just native creatures, but many bizarre beings from neighboring planes.
"I suspect the succubi's power leans toward curses. Try not to get too deeply entangled in battle with them," Electrolux advised, after carefully sensing the nature of their power.
"."
From within the rift, tens of thousands of abyssal creatures surged forth, flooding the deepest parts of the Extreme North, now entirely coated in dark green hues.
Most abyssal creatures bore dark green skin or dark green scales.
"Boom!"
A terrifying aura suddenly pressed down upon them.
From the ninth level of the Abyss, the monarch of the Black Emperor Clan, a being with quasi-god strength, had arrived—the Black Emperor had descended!
Even within the quasi-god realm, there were vast differences in strength.
The pressure from the Black Emperor's aura was overwhelming, suffocating even.
Su Yu quickly assessed the aura—it was roughly equivalent to Di Tian's level. Among those present, Di Tian, Snow Empress, and Kong Deming were all capable of standing toe-to-toe with the Black Emperor.
Following the Black Emperor's arrival, more powerful presences descended—three more quasi-god-level auras appeared in succession.
From the seventh level of the Abyss came Emperor Hua, from the fifth level came Scythe Emperor, and from the fourth level came Demon Emperor.
In total, four monarchs from the top ten levels of the Abyss had descended upon the Douluo Continent.
Even this first wave of assault was already horrifying in scale.
At first glance, compared to Su Yu's team, the Abyss seemed to be lacking in top-tier strength. Leaving aside Su Yu's power—which exceeded his apparent cultivation—there were also Gu Yuena and Electrolux, both possessing unique traits. And among Kong Deming, Di Tian, and Snow Empress, there were three full-fledged quasi-gods. Add to that Jing Hongchen and Du Busi, both demigods just shy of the quasi-god level.
In other words, Su Yu, Electrolux, and Gu Yuena were all at least at quasi-god level—a total of six quasi-gods. The Abyss, in contrast, had dispatched only four.
At first glance, it seemed the Abyss was at a disadvantage.
But behind those four quasi-gods, the Abyss had brought with it a vast army of over ten thousand abyssal creatures.
Over a hundred Titled Douluo-level energy fluctuations, with soul saint-level energy surges reaching the four-digit range!
This was a level of power that neither the Soul Armor Corps nor the Soul Engineer Corps behind Su Yu could match.
Indeed, the Soul Armor Corps had a total of 200 members, including 100 Soul Kings, equipped with basic Soul Armor, 60 Soul Emperors equipped with low-grade intermediate Soul Armor, 30 Soul Saints with standard intermediate Soul Armor, and 10 Titled Douluo, each with high-grade intermediate Soul Armor.
The Soul Armor Corps' Soul Armor were all standardized models, produced by the Ming De Hall, meaning their compatibility wasn't particularly high. The Soul Armor was mass-produced, with the highest grade being intermediate, but categorized into low, medium, and high configurations.
This configuration, while formidable, was essentially outmatched when faced with the Abyssal army.
Su Yu and his team, however, planned to intercept the Abyssal creatures at the Titled Douluo level within the core area, preventing them from breaking through to the outer battlefields. This would give the other Soul Armor Corps a chance to fight back.
This battle, however, would be grueling.
Even with the power boost provided by the Soul Armor, this would still be a war with nearly ten times the power disparity.
While the Soul Engineer Corps' firepower support was a factor, the key would be whether the Soul Armor Corps' members could hold their ground against the relentless charge of the Abyssal forces.
"We can do it!"
Jing Hongchen's gaze was resolute.
These were the elite troops he had carefully selected. It wasn't just from the Royal Soul Engineer Academy of the Sun Moon Empire. He had scoured all of the Douluo Continent to find the best soul masters, focusing on combat-type soul masters. Despite the vast number of suitable candidates within the academy, he hadn't selected them all. Instead, he based his choices purely on warfare standards.
Each Soul Armor master's inclusion had been carefully vetted by him.
Their battle preparedness, their ability to wield their martial souls, and their potential for extreme combat performance were all top-tier.
These Soul Armor masters, chosen for their exceptional qualities, were intended to be the first batch to undergo real-world training, shaping them into the future pillars for combating the Abyss.
His hope was that, from this battle, some outstanding Soul Armor masters would emerge. The Ming De Hall would support them, offering customized upgrades for their Soul Armor, based on their outstanding performance.
Unfortunately, despite the changing educational policies for soul masters and soul engineers, there wasn't enough time. There weren't yet soul masters with the ability to craft their own Soul Armor while possessing the requisite talents for it.
This, in fact, was one of the worst aspects of the Spirit Hall.
Otherwise, in Su Yu's ideal scenario, after the Federation was established, a Soul Tournament would be held. A year or two afterward, the possibility of engaging with the Abyss would be considered, by which time the Douluo Continent would already have soul armor masters at the Soul Emperor level.
Soul Emperor-level Soul Armor Masters—if they were sufficiently talented, they could craft intermediate Soul Armor for themselves, and their explosive power would be top-tier even among Soul Saints.
And this could be achieved in large quantities!
At the forefront, Su Yu struck first.
As soon as the Abyssal creatures stepped into the Douluo Continent, his attack followed instantly.
Boom!
The space seemed to shatter. The area within a thousand meters of the vortex passage below broke apart, unleashing a chaotic storm of space fragments and the distorted forces of space.
Ah!
The Abyssal creatures shrieked and howled in agony.
Hundreds of Abyssal creatures fell.
Unfortunately, most of these were Soul Saints, with only a few Titled Douluo among them.
"Human, you will die!"
Ba Huang's crimson eyes locked onto Su Yu, roaring in fury.
Among the hundreds of Abyssal creatures that had just perished, at least half came from his Baan clan.
For the first time, during the invasion, the Baan clan had fought hard for the opportunity to descend, only to lose half of their numbers in an instant.
It seemed as if Su Yu was specifically targeting the Baan clan, considering the losses.
The Baan creatures, known for their immense size and vitality, were the frontline of this assault. They were meant to hold off the Douluo Continent's forces and allow the other Abyssal creatures to enter without significant resistance.
And thus, they had landed first.
Which made them the primary target for Su Yu's strikes.
Ba Huang, enraged, let out a furious roar. He couldn't match Su Yu's power, so he turned and lunged toward the Soul Armor Corps and the Soul Engineer Corps, aiming to invade the land beyond, taking charge with the rest of the Abyssal army.
Su Yu's team had planned to keep all Titled Douluo-level enemies confined to the core area, but the Abyssal forces were unaware of this strategy.
"Hmph!"
Jing Hongchen, holding a massive Soul Cannon, focused the terrifying energy into a single, concentrated beam.
A deadly laser shot out.
"Human, you will die!" Ba Huang snarled, turning to face Jing Hongchen, his eyes burning with murderous intent.
However, he was too cautious to engage Jing Hongchen directly.
The blast had taken him by surprise.
Had he not evaded just in time, the shot would have severely injured him. Yet, the Soul Cannon fired by Jing Hongchen had been unleashed effortlessly.
Moreover, even before the Abyssal portal was fully established, the Abyss could still faintly sense the battle unfolding.
As one of the high-ranking invaders, Ba Huang had the privilege to observe the scene.
These eight humans were not foes he could engage with directly.
Thus, from the very beginning, Ba Huang's target had been the Soul Armor Corps and the Soul Engineer Corps positioned outside the core area.
Jing Hongchen let out a cold snort. His Soul Armor wings flared open, and he rocketed toward Ba Huang, intercepting his advance.
"Stay right there!"
Jing Hongchen's body was equipped with numerous Soul Cannons, which fired deadly beams of energy, stopping the oncoming Abyssal creatures.
It was a relentless assault.
At the same time, the Soul Engineer Corps on the second level launched their first Soul Cannon projectile.
This wasn't just idle chatter about firepower support—it was real firepower.
Boom!
At the moment the Abyssal creatures landed, when they were most densely clustered, a Level 9 fixed Soul Cannon shell was launched. Even though its precision wasn't perfect, it still managed to strike down a significant number of Abyssal creatures.
"Damn it!"
The four Abyssal kings roared in anger, emerging from the portal's rear.
Their terrifying energy surged, sweeping the area.
Among them, Kane Di, known for his speed, was the first to break through the barrier. He teleported across space, heading toward the outermost region. His goal was clear: eliminate the Soul Engineers who had been firing the cannons from the rear.
However, Kong Deming, his Sun Moon Divine Shield flaring up, condensed the space, slowing Kane Di's speed. As the Sun Moon rotated, a Sun Moon Energy Cannon was fired, combining the power of the Sun Moon Divine Needle with overwhelming penetrative force.
Kane Di swung his arm, which resembled a scythe, as purple-black energy gathered into a sharp energy slash. The slash collided with the Sun Moon Energy Cannon.
Boom!
Kong Deming's wings flared behind him, and his Soul Armor boots released powerful thrusters, rapidly propelling him toward Kane Di.
"Your opponent is me."
Domain Activation.
Su Yu's domain unfurled. Even though the extreme northern region lacked Blue Silver Grass, the air was rich in Ice Attribute energy. Su Yu's domain transformed the surrounding Ice Elemental Energy into Life Force, restoring the exhausted comrades who had just emerged from the intense battle.
His life attribute had surpassed its previous limits, enabling him to provide powerful sustain for his teammates. This was their confidence in holding back the hundreds of Titled Douluo-level Abyssal creatures.
Emperor Transformation, skilled in shape-shifting, turned into a swift hummingbird and darted out from another direction.
Emperor Tian ripped through space to intercept him, and a fierce battle erupted.
Black Emperor and Demon Emperor each charged toward Poison Immortal and Snow Emperor.
Poison Immortal let out a furious roar. He didn't engage with Black Emperor, instead attempting to break free from the chase and heading toward the Abyssal army, eager to get into the fray.
His goal was simple: dive into the enemy's ranks and fight. His body's secret method and reckless combat style fueled his bloodlust even more. Of course, the main reason was that he couldn't take on any of the Four Great Emperors, but he preferred hunting Abyssal creatures to being relentlessly pursued and beaten.
As for Ba Huang, wasn't he already dealt with by Jing Hongchen?
Black Emperor's pursuit of Poison Immortal was interrupted by Su Yu, who stepped in.
Black Emperor's cold, murderous gaze locked onto Su Yu. Her hands shot out in tandem, forming giant claws made of black mist, tearing through space. At the same time, a whirlpool of black energy formed behind her, continuously absorbing the surrounding Heaven and Earth Energy, replenishing her strength.
Su Yu remained unfazed, easily countering Black Emperor's assault.
The Heaven and Earth Energy before him condensed, and the Space Power coalesced into a pure white energy shield, a rune appearing out of nowhere within the space.
"Protect!"
Boom!
The giant claws collided with the shield, creating an explosive shockwave.
Black Emperor's face shifted.
"You can manipulate the Heaven and Earth Energy to form such a defense?"
It seemed as though Su Yu had exerted no effort at all.
And that rune—what was that? Some kind of symbol? Or something else entirely?
While Black Emperor's expression changed, Su Yu didn't stop. He summoned a whip, crackling with purple-black lightning.
Whip of the Thunder God.
The Whip of Thunder God flew from his hand, striking Black Emperor in the air.
Crack!
A terrifying heavenly tribulation coalesced from the Whip of Thunder God, striking Black Emperor at the same time.
Black Emperor let out a muffled groan, retreating as the whirlpool of black mist behind her absorbed the Heaven and Earth Energy to recover from the damage.
But Su Yu gave her no time to recover.
"The ability to devour energy?"
Su Yu felt a trace of interest in Black Emperor.
However, it seemed that the Black Emperor race had similar abilities, and Su Yu didn't rush to study Black Emperor at this moment.
A spiritual entity formed next to him, Thunderous Hellvine. The Thunder God's Whip merged into the spiritual entity of Thunderous Hellvine.
Boom!
Endless thunder gathered around Thunderous Hellvine.
A vast Thunder Domain expanded, drawing in the surrounding Heaven and Earth Energy, continuously providing energy to Thunderous Hellvine.
At the same time, Su Yu's domain spread out, also devouring the surrounding energy to replenish his soul power.
The Blue Silver Emperor's spiritual entity materialized, maintaining the Blue Silver Domain, which helped Kong Deming and the others restore their soul power and heal their injuries.
Having freed himself, Su Yu turned his gaze to the Abyssal Army. Ignoring them, he instantly rushed to the massive space vortex in the sky.
The Abyssal forces were still transporting Abyssal creatures to Douluo Continent.
The so-called tens of thousands of Abyssal creatures were only those that had reached the space passage first, not the total number of forces involved in the initial wave of the invasion.
As the invading side, from a dimension where power was highly concentrated, how could the Abyss's invasion forces be so small?
Su Yu arrived at the space vortex, his soul power surging.
Destructive thunder erupted, and endless sword energy surged, slaughtering the Abyssal creatures that continued to pour through the space passage into Douluo Continent.
"Hmph!"
On the opposite side, the Abyssal Saint Lord unleashed an overwhelming aura, manipulating Abyssal energy to invade Douluo Continent, manifesting a terrifying giant hand beside Su Yu.
Boom!
The giant hand descended, and Su Yu felt the surrounding space seemed to freeze. Teleportation was rendered useless.
However, he didn't panic.
After all, this was just a giant hand formed through the dimension passage.
Boom!
The giant hand slammed down. Although Su Yu appeared disheveled, with the explosive release of intense life energy, his wounds rapidly healed.
In the meantime, the Abyssal creatures took advantage of the brief respite to flood into Douluo Continent.
Su Yu snorted coldly and launched his own counterattack.
"Blue Silver Thunder Domain!"
"Blue Silver Sword Domain!"
Endless thunder and sword energy enveloped the area, tearing through the Abyssal creatures in a wild frenzy.
Since this was a training battle for the Soul Master community, Su Yu naturally wouldn't allow Douluo Continent to fall into a state of despair. The tens of thousands of Abyssal creatures were already enough to challenge the Soul Armor Legion and test them.
Well, it wasn't tens of thousands anymore. After three rounds of Level 9 Soul Cannonball bombardments, the number of Abyssal creatures killed had already reached two thousand. Only about nine thousand Abyssal creatures remained.
"Not good!"
The battle had only just begun, but with three Level 9 Soul Cannonballs dropping, Douluo Continent had gained significant results, killing two thousand Abyssal creatures.
However, with the deaths of these two thousand Abyssal creatures, their bodies disintegrated into Abyssal energy and surged toward the space vortex, as though they were being recycled.
Although Su Yu had provided an early explanation, seeing this scene in person made the strong individuals present show a serious expression.
The vast Abyssal army—though two thousand of their number had been slain—seemed to have their energy intact, ready to be absorbed back into the Abyss, allowing them to regenerate. Su Yu and the others felt the tremendous pressure that came with this.
Gu Yuena was not staying out of the action. At the moment when Su Yu was being attacked by the Abyssal Saint Lord's massive hand from across the dimension, she took out her Silver Dragon Spear and instantly crossed the space, appearing behind Black Emperor.
Caught off guard, Black Emperor—who had been dealing with Su Yu's Thunderous Hellvine Spirit—felt a sharp, penetrating force from behind as the Silver Dragon Spear pierced through her.
Her face changed drastically.
A massive devouring force swept through, draining her energy instantly.
"Impossible!"
She was the Emperor of the Black Emperor race, and her divine abilities included the power to devour energy. She had always been the one to consume her enemies' power, not the other way around. Never before had she experienced the agony of having her energy siphoned away.
In a desperate attempt, she exploded with her full power, trying to regain control of the energy and unleash her devouring abilities at their maximum.
But in front of the Silver Dragon Spear, her efforts were futile.
A pure and refined energy poured back into Gu Yuena, boosting her power gradually.
Though Gu Yuena had completed her rebirth with Su Yu's help, recovering her full strength would still take time. However, by devouring Black Emperor's energy, she was steadily growing stronger.
Behind Gu Yuena, seven colors of energy merged together, swirling and fusing into one.
The terrifying energy surged out in a tidal wave toward the Abyssal army.
Boom!
Water, fire, earth, wind, light, darkness, and space—the fused explosion of energy caused Heaven and Earth to become chaotic. Amid this chaos, a chain reaction of energy collisions created massive explosions, resulting in tremendous losses for the Abyssal creatures.
Black Emperor, who had been struck by Gu Yuena, attempted to use her devouring abilities to counteract the Silver Dragon Spear's devouring power.
At that moment, Thunderous Hellvine seized the opportunity, controlling the Thunder God's Whip to firmly bind Black Emperor.
Crackling and roaring, vast surges of thunder coursed through the Thunder God's Whip, and the explosive lightning spread across Black Emperor's body, tearing apart her black energy.
The shattered black energy began to flow toward the Abyss, but before it could escape, it was immediately absorbed by the Silver Dragon Spear's devouring power, drawn into Gu Yuena's growing strength.
Ilex did not lag behind.
He raised his right hand, and three gigantic portals appeared at the edges of the battlefield.
From within these portals, countless undead emerged.
These undead were creations that Ilex had been working on in recent years. His previous undead forces had nearly been wiped out, but these new creatures were born from the rules' resonance he had experienced while following Su Yu's lead. They were the product of his growth.
Not only were the undead summoned to fight, but the half-plane of the undead had also opened, pulling in the Abyssal energy with its enormous devouring force.
Although the Abyss was marked by its distinctive Abyssal signature, the Abyssal energy closest to the three portals was irresistibly drawn into the half-plane, swallowed by the devouring power emanating from within.
As the Abyssal energy continues to be siphoned into Ilex's undead half-plane, any hopes of reclaiming this energy for the Abyss are dashed. The Abyssal Saint Lord's fury rises in response.
"Roar!"
Among the Four Great Emperors, the Demon Emperor—the most powerful among the Abyssal Emperors that had entered the Douluo Continent—was enraged.
How could Douluo Continent possess the ability to devour Abyssal energy?
The Silver Dragon Spear, the undead half-plane, these were capabilities they had never encountered before.
While the Abyss had occasionally lost energy in its previous incursions into other realms, the magnitude of energy lost in this case was far greater than anything Gu Yuena and Ilex had displayed.
The conversion of Abyssal energy and the force with which it was devoured was intense. Any Abyssal creature that died nearby had its energy consumed, absorbed, and lost completely.
The Four Great Emperors began to feel the weight of their situation. Initially, they had thought that even if they were to die, they could return to the Abyss and be resurrected quickly, thanks to their importance.
However, now that Douluo Continent had shown the ability to devour Abyssal energy, their resurrection was no longer guaranteed. If they perished, their energy might never return to the Abyss.
The once-absolute certainty of immortality had turned into the terrifying possibility of permanent death.
The shift in the situation altered their mindset, and they began to fight more cautiously.
In the high skies above Extreme North, Su Yu stood firm, intercepting the Abyssal portal. The Blue Silver Lightning Domain and Blue Silver Sword Domain covered the portal entirely, preventing any Abyssal creatures from emerging without being obliterated.
At first, the energy from the slain Abyssal creatures flowed back into the Abyss, but over time, Su Yu's Spiritual Sea began to absorb this energy with his newly formed "Swallow" character script. However, the speed and volume of energy absorption were far inferior to Gu Yuena's Silver Dragon Spear and Ilex's undead half-plane.
Yet, this was only the power of a character script.
As Su Yu activated his Blue Silver Emperor's Sixth Soul Skill: "Sea of All Rivers", the speed at which he absorbed the Abyssal energy dramatically increased.
The "Swallow" character script was being perfected quickly. Su Yu had always possessed such abilities but had never fully outlined them as a character script. With his complete control over his domain, he easily integrated this ability into his powers.
Soon enough, the speed of energy absorption on his side also reached impressive levels, though still lagging behind the Silver Dragon Spear and the undead half-plane.
Suddenly, within the Abyssal portal, a massive force surged forward.
The Abyssal Saint Lord, enraged, launched a devastating punch from his own realm, sending it through the spatial rift.
Su Yu vanished in an instant, narrowly dodging the deadly blow. A massive punch shadow emerged from the portal, radiating an overwhelming force.
The terrifying aura reverberated, sending waves of fear through everyone involved in the battle.
"Such terrifying power!"
After the punch shadow missed, it seemed to remain under the Abyssal Saint Lord's control, continuing its descent from the high skies, heading straight for the Soul Master Corps stationed at the Outer Edge of the Extreme North.
In this critical moment, Gu Yuena swiftly drew her Silver Dragon Spear and teleported through space to intercept the incoming punch shadow.
With a flash of her spear, she struck forward with all her might.
Boom!
The Silver Dragon Spear unleashed its full devouring power, drawing in the energy from the punch shadow and absorbing it.
However, the force behind the punch was immense, and Gu Yuena grunted in pain as she was struck by the remaining impact.
Despite the injury, the Silver Dragon Spear's energy absorption quickly healed her, and she stood firm.
Back in the Abyss, the Abyssal Saint Lord was furious.
"An artifact that can devour energy!"
To his shock, Douluo Continent possessed such an artifact.
