On the Abyss Plane, Emperor Ling quickly walked into the palace, knelt on one knee, and said respectfully,
"The Abyssal Passage has already been opened, Sage King."
He paused and added,
"According to the Sage King's request, we did not choose to dig open the Abyssal Passage in that exposed place."
The Abyssal Sage King sat upon the throne, a flash of satisfaction crossing his enchanting red eyes.
He smiled, his voice carrying a hint of approval.
"Well done."
His fingers tapped lightly on the armrests of the throne, producing a rhythmic sound.
"If someone really set a trap for us, yet we do not launch an attack according to the place they designated..."
He paused, the corners of his mouth curving up slightly.
"It can also be considered catching them off guard."
Emperor Ling nodded, a look of admiration showing on his face.
The Abyssal Sage King put away his smile, those crimson-red eyes turning sharp.
"Pass down the order."
His voice carried a trace of unquestionability.
"Let the Black Emperor continue to spread panic and attract the strongest experts on this planet."
Emperor Ling nodded solemnly.
"Yes!"
The Abyssal Sage King stood up, his hands behind his back, and slowly walked to the edge of the palace.
His gaze pierced through the Void Realm, as if he could see the distant Douluo Planet.
"This seat can feel it..."
His voice carried a trace of greed.
"The life energy contained within this planet... is quite dense."
"This seat can't wait to devour this planet, but... you must be more careful."
"That fog is quite bizarre."
"This seat is not sure... what will happen next."
Emperor Ling nodded, his face full of solemnity.
"Rest assured, Sage King."
His voice carried a trace of firmness.
"This subordinate will definitely be careful."
He paused and added,
"This subordinate will offer... victory to the Sage King."
The Abyssal Sage King looked at him, remained silent for a moment, and then smiled.
"That's good."
His gaze fell back into the distance, his voice carrying a trace of determination.
"Take down this planet in one fell swoop."
His voice suddenly turned deep, carrying an indescribable emotion.
"Do not disappoint... Mother's expectations."
Hearing this, Emperor Ling's body shook slightly, but he didn't say much, only lowering his head deeply.
...
Shrek Academy, on the plaza in front of the main entrance.
Those ferocious-looking Abyssal Creatures were crawling out from the black passage one after another.
Their crimson eyes stared fixedly at the Shrek Academy before them, and they began to launch attacks toward the nearby crowd.
At this very moment, a fiery red figure suddenly rushed out from the crowd!
That was a hot-bodied young female, her face covered with a red veil, revealing only a pair of pale pink eyes.
Those eyes were currently filled with Battle Intent, her legs straight and plump, every step she took on the ground carrying an indescribable sense of power. It was precisely Ma Xiaotao.
"A bunch of beasts, how dare you run wild at Shrek Academy?!"
Her voice carried a trace of cold severity, and before her words fell, a terrifying Spirit Power fluctuation abruptly erupted from Ma Xiaotao's body!
The Evil Fire Phoenix Spirit was released instantly!
Two yellow, two purple, and two black, six Spirit Rings rose from beneath her feet, slowly rotating.
"First Spirit Skill, Phoenix Fire Wire!"
As soon as her voice fell, Ma Xiaotao abruptly opened her mouth, and a scorching flame gushed out from her mouth!
That flame formed a straight line, like a flaming spear, fiercely piercing towards the nearest Abyssal Creature!
Boom——!
That lizard-shaped Abyssal Creature was hit by the flames, emitting a shrill hiss, its entire body instantly swallowed by the flames!
Its body struggled in the flames for a few moments, and then... turned into a wisp of gray Qi, drifting in the air, flying back into that black passage.
Ma Xiaotao looked at this scene, her brows slightly knitting together.
"They will still go back even after dying?"
She didn't think much, as the second Spirit Ring on her body lit up.
"Second Spirit Skill, Bathing Fire Phoenix!"
Blazing flames surged out from within her body, wrapping around her entire body!
Her aura surged several times over in that instant!
Following closely, the third Spirit Ring lit up.
"Third Soul Skill—Phoenix Wings Soaring through the Heavens!"
A pair of huge flaming wings abruptly unfurled from behind Ma Xiaotao!
Those flaming wings were completely golden-red, radiating a scorching high temperature that baked the surrounding air until it distorted.
Ma Xiaotao kicked off with both feet, her entire person soaring into the air, hovering mid-air.
She looked down condescendingly at those Abyssal Creatures below, her pale pink eyes filled with coldness.
"Fourth Soul Skill, Phoenix Heaven-Roaring Strike!"
Ma Xiaotao's body spun fiercely in the air, and then, like a shooting star, smashed heavily downwards!
Boom——!!!
The huge impact caused the ground to tremble!
A circle of golden-red flames spread out from the impact point, blowing dozens of surrounding Abyssal Creatures flying!
Those Abyssal Creatures that were blown away had a layer of golden-red flames attached to their bodies, emitting shrill screams, and then turned to ashes in the flames, turning into a gray Qi that flew back into the Abyssal Passage.
"So strong!"
"Senior Sister Ma Xiaotao is too amazing!"
Seeing this scene, the students below felt their blood boil, and their bodies, which had originally trembled with fear, were once again filled with strength.
"Everyone, charge!"
"Fight it out with these monsters!"
One student after another rushed out, releasing their Spirits and beginning to attack those Abyssal Creatures.
Dai Huabin was currently facing a relatively small Abyssal Creature.
That thing was shaped like a lizard, covered all over in pitch-black scales, and looked unremarkable.
Dai Huabin let out a cold snort, the White Tiger claws in his hand fiercely lashing out.
"White Tiger Light Wave!"
A streak of white light fiercely slammed into that Abyssal Creature's body.
However... the body of that Abyssal Creature only shook slightly, and then... nothing happened.
Not even a single trace was left on its scales, and Dai Huabin's expression instantly turned ugly.
"How is this possible..."
He gritted his teeth and attacked continuously a few more times.
However... it was still unable to break through the defense.
That Abyssal Creature raised its head, its crimson eyes staring fixedly at Dai Huabin, a low roar emitting from its mouth.
Zhu Lu also rushed over at this time, the Hell Civet claws in her hands fiercely scratching onto that Abyssal Creature's body.
A harsh metallic friction sound rang out, and sparks flew in all directions.
However... it still didn't break through the defense.
Zhu Lu's expression also turned ugly.
"This thing... is so tough!"
Xu Sanshi rushed forward, the Black Tortoise Shield in his hand smashing down fiercely.
With a boom, that Abyssal Creature was smashed back a few steps, but it still wasn't injured.
Jiang Nannan's attack was similarly the same, completely unable to cause substantial damage to this thing.
The expressions of several people grew increasingly ugly.
These Abyssal Creatures... clearly looked so weak, yet...
They actually couldn't even beat a single one?
Gongyang Mo's expression turned solemn as he saw this scene.
He shouted loudly,
"Outer Court Disciples, hurry up and leave!"
"These monsters... are not something you can handle!"
"Wait for the teachers to arrive!"
As soon as Gongyang Mo's words fell, those Outer Court Disciples retreated one after another, their faces full of panic.
They never expected that these seemingly unremarkable monsters would be so troublesome to deal with.
And right at this moment, several powerful auras descended from the sky!
Elder Song, Lin Huiqun, Elder Zhuang...
A group of Sea God Pavilion elders finally arrived!
Elder Song hovered mid-air, her gaze falling on the black passage, and then on those Abyssal Creatures, her brows tightly furrowing.
Without hesitation, she directly released her Spirit, the Cyan Shadow Divine Eagle.
Two yellow, two purple, and five black, nine Spirit Rings rose from beneath her feet.
Elder Song's sixth Spirit Ring suddenly lit up.
"Sixth Spirit Skill, Azure Feather Storm!"
Elder Song's body spun fiercely in the air, and the wings of the Cyan Shadow Divine Eagle beat fiercely!
A huge cyan storm erupted from her body, sweeping towards the Abyssal Creatures below!
Within that cyan storm, countless cyan lights like sharp blades were contained. Wherever it passed, the bodies of those Abyssal Creatures were instantly sliced into fragments!
Large swathes of Abyssal Creatures died, turning into gray Qi, flying back into that black passage.
With a single blow, Elder Song cleared away hundreds of Abyssal Creatures!
Seeing this scene, the students below cheered one by one.
"The elders have come!"
"That's great!"
Elder Song landed on the ground, her gaze sweeping over everyone present, and she commanded in a deep voice,
"Everyone, begin the encirclement and suppression!"
"Don't let a single one escape!"
Lin Huiqun, Elder Zhuang, and the others nodded successively, each releasing their Spirits and joining the battle.
With the joining of the Sea God Pavilion elders, the battle situation instantly turned around.
Although those Abyssal Creatures were numerous in number, in front of experts at the Titled Douluo level, they were simply vulnerable.
They fell one after another, turning into gray Qi.
In less than half a cup of tea's time, the Abyssal Creatures on the plaza were cleaned out completely.
Elder Song stood in front of that black passage, looking at it with a solemn gaze.
Inside the passage, Abyssal Creatures were still continuously crawling out.
One, two, four... endless.
Elder Song's brows furrowed even deeper.
She carefully observed those newly crawled-out Abyssal Creatures, her expression growing increasingly ugly.
"The strength of these monsters... is growing stronger."
She said in a low voice, her voice carrying a trace of solemnity.
"The ones at the very beginning probably only had the strength of the Spirit King level."
"The ones that appeared later were already close to the Spirit Emperor level."
"And now..."
She paused and said word by word,
"Spirit Saint level ones have already appeared."
Lin Huiqun's expression also turned solemn.
"If this continues..."
Her words were not finished, but everyone understood her meaning.
If this continued, sooner or later Spirit Douluo level ones would appear, or even... Titled Douluo level ones.
Elder Song's gaze fell on that black passage, fine beads of sweat seeping out from her forehead.
In her heart, a strong sense of unease surged. Where on earth... did this passage lead?
What on earth... were those creatures? Why did they appear at Shrek Academy?
One question after another flashed through her mind.
And right at this moment, a deep roar suddenly came from inside the black passage.
Elder Song's pupils abruptly shrank.
"Not good..."
"Something... is coming out."
