"It seems we have lost…"
Liu Yang lay calmly on the ground, gazing at the colossal phantom that pierced the sky.
Poseidon's Divine Might surged like a tide, every wisp of Qi as substantial as reality, causing the entire space to tremble.
Xu Jinghuang, Leng Yuzhu, the Demon Emperor, Yun Ming, Su Tao, and Wang Tianyun struggled to support their bodies, blood staining the corners of their mouths.
Seven-colored light flickered around them, clearly indicating they had suffered severe injuries in the recent clash.
"The power of Clones, after all, cannot contend with a true first-rank God, can it…?"
Xu Jinghuang wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth with a bitter smile, a hint of helplessness flashing in his eyes.
The seven of them were Incarnations of the plane spirit's consciousness, each bearing a portion of the plane's power.
Leng Yuzhu struggled to raise her head, looking at the suffocating Sea God phantom in the sky: "The power Poseidon left behind is even stronger than we imagined."
Her voice carried a hint of unwillingness, yet she had to admit the truth.
The Demon Emperor's eyes flashed with indignation: "Is it really going to end like this?"
"It's not time to give up yet."
Yun Ming's Spear Intent surged continuously around his body.
He murmured inwardly, "Ya Li is still waiting for me to return…"
This thought burned in his eyes like a flame.
Su Tao remained silent, the usually calm, lake-like depths of his eyes now turbulent.
Wang Tianyun struggled to his feet, "Even if we fail, we must fight until the very last moment."
The group exchanged glances, their eyes revealing the same determination.
The seven-colored light converged once more, though not as dazzling as before, it still emanated an unyielding will.
"Crimson Spirit, Unite!"
Leng Yuzhu chanted softly, and crimson light spread like a Phoenix taking flight.
"Orange Radiance, Nine Heavens!"
The Demon Emperor followed closely, orange light soaring into the sky, tearing through the firmament.
"Yellow Springs, Guide the Way!"
Xu Jinghuang roared, and yellow light transformed into a rolling river, surging forward.
"Lush Greenery!"
Wang Tianyun's body erupted in green light, brimming with vitality.
"Clear Sky, Bright Day!"
Yun Ming's Spear Intent shot into the sky, forming a pillar of azure light.
"Boundless Blue Sea!"
Su Tao's blue light surged like a tide.
"Purple Qi, East Comes!"
Liu Yang had risen at some unknown point, and his purple light was the last to ignite, and the most dazzling.
The seven-colored lights intertwined once again, forming a rainbow pillar of light that, though slightly dim, remained resilient as it shot straight into the clouds.
This pillar of light contained the unyielding will of the seven plane spirit Clones.
In the sky, Poseidon's phantom trembled slightly, and the light on the Sea God Trident flickered intermittently.
Tang Hao's brows furrowed slightly; he hadn't expected these plane spirits to unleash such power after suffering severe injuries.
"A dying struggle, utterly futile!"
Tang Hao snorted coldly, raising the Sea God Trident once more.
Poseidon's phantom moved with it, and ten thousand feet of divine light poured down like the Nine Heavens galaxy, shattering space wherever it passed.
The seven-colored light pillar and the vast divine force collided with a roar in the air!
This time, there was no earth-shattering explosion, only a silent confrontation.
The seven, including Liu Yang, gritted their teeth, pouring their last reserves of power into the light pillar.
Their bodies trembled violently, blood continuously gushing from their ruptured wounds, yet not one of them retreated a single step.
In the distance, Gu Yuena watched this scene, "Are we not going to act yet?"
She looked at Fang Yang beside her and asked softly.
"Alright."
Fang Yang nodded slightly, the Dou Qi within him began to surge, and the space around him subtly twisted.
However, just as he was about to step forward, he suddenly stopped.
"Hmm?"
Gu Yuena and Na'er looked at Fang Yang in confusion.
"Someone has made a move."
Fang Yang explained softly, his gaze fixed on the distant horizon, "The situation has changed, let's observe for now."
Gu Yuena and Na'er also sensed something.
A vast, ocean-like power was rapidly approaching, its might even comparable to Poseidon's divine force.
"Enough."
A clear, cold voice rang out.
"This aura… so familiar, could it be…?"
Xu Jinghuang abruptly turned his head, looking in the direction of the voice, his face filled with disbelief.
He was all too familiar with this power; it was the aura of their true body.
"The true body has returned." Liu Yang spoke calmly, a hint of relief flashing in his eyes.
Su Tao nodded, a smile appearing on his face.
A brilliant silver-white light descended from the sky, transforming into a pillar of light that enveloped everyone.
Under the nourishment of this light, the injuries on the seven people's bodies began to heal at a visible rate.
"Damn it, who is ruining my plans!"
Tang Hao gritted his teeth, his gaze dark as he looked at the suddenly appearing figure.
He could sense that the newcomer's strength was extraordinary.
The silver-white light gradually dissipated, and a woman in a plain white dress slowly appeared.
Her appearance was exquisitely beautiful, her temperament ethereal and refined, and a faint silver halo surrounded her, as if she had merged with the entire World.
"You are… the plane spirit?"
Tang Hao narrowed his eyes, his tone carrying a hint of solemnity.
He could feel that this person before him was completely different from the seven Incarnations just now; this was a truly complete existence.
Lin Ximeng nodded slightly, looking at Tang Hao: "That's right, I am the plane spirit."
"True body, you have finally returned."
Liu Yang was the first to bow, his attitude utterly respectful.
The other six also bowed, saying in unison: "Welcome back, true body!"
Lin Ximeng gently raised her hand, and a soft plane force lifted the seven: "You have all worked hard. From now on, leave everything to me."
Her voice was calm, yet it carried an undeniable power.
Fang Yang, who had been observing, was struck by lightning when he saw the face of the woman in the silver light, instantly dumbfounded.
"That… that's… Mom?!"
He could barely believe his eyes.
The gentle mother who had raised him since childhood, the ordinary woman who always smiled while preparing his meals, was actually the Incarnation of the Douluo Plane's will?
This sudden truth left his mind blank.
Gu Yuena and Na'er were also slightly stunned, their beautiful faces filled with shock and incredulity.
They never imagined that Fang Yang's mother possessed such an astonishing identity.
"So that's how it is…"
Fang Yang fell silent, the shock in his heart taking a long time to subside.
No wonder Liu Yang and the others' attitudes were different; it turned out there were signs all along.
Fang Yang had originally planned to refine the Douluo Plane, but now it seemed this plan had to be abandoned.
Since the plane spirit was his mother, then so be it.
"Then I'll wait until I Break through to Dou Saint and create a Small World."
Fang Yang thought to himself, "And also wait for Gu Yuena to become the new Dragon God and create a new God Realm."
He looked at Gu Yuena beside him, and they exchanged a smile, everything understood without words.
"plane spirit, you're not dead?"
Tang Hao was somewhat surprised at the sight.
He hadn't expected the plane spirit, who had supposedly died at Little San's hands, to still be alive; this was completely beyond his expectations.
Lin Ximeng's voice was cold: "Tang San did indeed severely injure me, but the plane spirit shares its origin with the Continent. As long as the Douluo Continent is not destroyed, I will not truly perish."
"Now, it's time for us to put an end to all of this."
