Chapter 1107 Zhongli Wu's Madness
Sun and Moon Empire, deep in the Sunset Forest, the headquarters of the Holy Spirit Cult.
"Hmm? One of the scythe demons is dead?"
Inside the sealed chamber, Zhongli Wu slowly opened his eyes, a dark purple light shining in his pupils.
A strange magic circle, interwoven with dark purple and blood-red hues, flickered beneath him, pulsating with Zhongli Wu's breath.
A dark purple spatial rift was slowly expanding in front of Zhongli Wu.
However, the crack expanded at an unusually slow rate, and the resulting spatial passage was only about the size of a bucket.
Three six-legged, eyeless purple beasts with tails like battle axes appeared behind Zhongliwu.
"Are creatures of the abyss really that fragile?"
Zhongli Wu frowned, his face showing displeasure.
The three purple creatures let out a defiant growl at Zhongli Wu. Clearly, they understood Zhongli Wu's words and were thus angered.
Zhongli Wu coldly stared at the three abyssal creatures, snorted, and raised his hand to press down.
The three purple creatures were instantly pressed to the ground by an invisible force and sank into the floor tiles, their bodies groaning under the strain.
"Whoosh!!"
The largest purple creature let out a mournful cry, its axe-like tail struggling to swing.
Zhongli Wu's eyes were filled with killing intent, but when he thought about how he needed to use these abyssal creatures to achieve his goal, he withdrew his soul power.
The three purple creatures, now free, immediately pressed their bellies and tails firmly against the ground.
"Three earth-devouring beasts are not enough," Zhongliwu muttered to himself. If he wanted to destroy the world, he would have to start by destroying an empire.
However, even now, when he uses the summoning array left behind by the previous leader to communicate with that unknown plane, he has only managed to summon no fewer than twenty abyssal creatures.
Moreover, these twenty abyssal creatures actively approached the spatial rift and squeezed through it, relying on their hunting instincts to come towards Zhongliwu.
However, Zhongli Wu was among the group of people who were closest to the Limit Douluo level, and he subdued the group of abyssal creatures that rushed out with just one palm.
He categorized the abyssal creatures based on their appearance: those with sharp claws were called Scythe Demons, and those with three pairs of thick claws that could dig the ground quickly, like the ones in front of him, were called Earth-Eating Beasts.
Although he successfully summoned the abyssal creatures, he was very dissatisfied, as these scythe-wielding earth-devouring beasts were only at the Soul Saint level.
How could someone of my stature attract abyssal creatures that are actually Soul Saint level?
Zhongli Wu was very unhappy.
A group of abyssal creatures that don't even look human were thinking of eating him?
If it weren't for the fact that the abyssal creatures were quite capable in combat, Zhongliwu would have slapped those scythe demons and earth-devouring beasts to death long ago.
The brief complaint, which betrayed a murderous intent, made the three-headed earth-devouring beast immediately lie flat on the ground, not daring to utter a sound.
However, their desire to devour the Zhongliwu did not diminish at all; on the contrary, it became even stronger.
However, they dare not show their fangs now.
Zhongli Wu didn't dwell on the scythe demon that had been killed. So be it; there would be plenty of more abyssal creatures to hear it anyway.
He held an ancient-style book made of human skin and carefully examined its contents.
Zhongli Laogui, the former leader of the Holy Spirit Cult, simply made a casual record of the abyss world that he had unintentionally summoned.
Like Zhongli Wu, he wasn't very interested in the abyssal creatures inside.
However, the former was because the Holy Spirit Cult was powerful at the time and had countless evil spirit masters under its command, so there was no need to use them as cannon fodder.
Zhongli Wu, on the other hand, has not yet figured out how many abyssal creatures there are in the abyss world, or how many of them are powerful.
He regarded the weak abyssal creatures as mere ants.
They constantly attract and capture abyssal creatures, also in search of more powerful cannon fodder.
Zhongli Wu stared at the human skin book in thought for a while, then raised his hand, attracting a golden box from a distance.
Zhongli Laogui still has some quirks.
There weren't many things in the box: a few white bones, another human skin book of the same kind as the one in Zhongli Wu's hand, and some dried-up things that looked like shrunken fruit pits.
The skeleton resembled a tortoise shell, with mysterious characters carved on it.
The shrunken fruit pits are dark in color, and when you look closely at them in the light, it seems as if something is wriggling inside.
The three earth-devouring beasts immediately became restless. They raised their heads, and although they had no eyes, they stared intently at the shrunken fruit pit in Zhongli Wu's hand.
That seemed to hold a fatal attraction for them.
Zhongliwu noticed the abnormality of the three-headed earth-devouring beast.
A cruel smile curled at the corner of his mouth as he tossed out two shrunken fruit pits.
The three earth-devouring beasts immediately began to fight over it, even resorting to killing their own kind.
Its axe-like tail slammed directly onto the head of its kin, smashing the bucket-sized head to pieces, splattering viscous tissue fluid all over the ground.
The two earth-devouring beasts that snatched the shrunken fruit core were very excited, and their insect-like mouthparts emitted sharp cries.
A faint light emanated from the bodies of the two earth-devouring beasts, spreading throughout their bodies like ripples on water.
Immediately afterwards, the two earth-devouring beasts grew larger, their mouthparts became sharper, and their foremost pair of claws began to grow, evolving into a pair of thick arms with three sharp claws piercing through the floor tiles. Bone spurs also grew at the joints, and their tails became longer and thicker.
"The evolution brought about by devouring, you are indeed a perfect match for my Holy Spirit Cult!! Hahahaha!!" Zhongli Wu laughed loudly, looking up at the sky.
Devouring leads to evolution. These abyssal creatures are like termites of the world. As long as there are enough of them, they can slowly gnaw at this world!
Zhongli Wu began to wonder if there was any limit to the devouring and evolution of these abyssal creatures.
Perhaps, if these ugly creatures continue to devour and evolve, they can reach the level of a Title Douluo, or even a Super Douluo or a Limit Douluo!
Wait, how big is the Abyss World? Could there already be Abyss creatures that have evolved into Super Douluo inside?
Zhongli Wu's maniacal laughter abruptly stopped.
He suddenly heard the sound of bones being chewed and crushed.
He turned his head and saw that the two earth-devouring beasts were devouring the dead earth-devouring beast.
Greed, devouring, violence—the creatures of the abyss were truly exciting him more and more.
"We absolutely need to summon more cuties! This is fantastic!"
Zhongli Wu picked up the dominoes and began studying Zhongli Laogui's notes.
A dark purple light suddenly shone into the dimly lit secret room.
Zhongli Wu expanded the spatial rift again, but the progress was still slow.
Zhongli Wu felt pressure; an unknown force was preventing him from expanding the spatial rift.
"Does this world also want to stop me? You're rotten! You deserve to rot!"
Zhongli Wu dropped the dominoes, reached out and grabbed the spatial rift from above and below, forcibly expanding it.
Under Zhongliwu's power, the spatial rift expanded at a visible speed.
A black and red eye suddenly appeared before Zhongli Wu's eyes.
"Hahahaha!! Ye Nanxiao! Let's see what you can use to fight me!"
The latest novel is first published here!
The spatial rift continued to widen.
Deep in the ocean.
Humans have been constantly conquering the land, trying to become the masters of the land.
The ocean has always been a region that is difficult for them to explore, and even Super Douluo dare not easily venture into the depths of the ocean.
It is said that the ocean is a barrier to the world.
In the depths beyond human reach lies a magnificent underwater palace.
The mermaid race.
"Go find the High Priest immediately!"
"The Sea-Stabilizing Pearl is reacting!"
Two strong mermaids broke through the seawater and shot out as a water arrow.
The once quiet mermaid palace suddenly became lively.
A female mermaid clad in beautiful armor, wielding a golden trident, and wearing a crown quickly arrived at the secret chamber of the palace.
The secret chamber is open-air, and the place where the Sea-Stabilizing Pearl is placed is on a tall altar.
The two mermaids guarding the entrance immediately bowed upon seeing the female mermaid, saying, "Your Majesty!"
The mermaid queen nodded slightly, and a ring of bubbles appeared beneath her fish tail.
"What happened in Dinghai Pearl?!"
"Your Majesty, the Sea-Stabilizing Pearl is behaving strangely; it must mean the Abyss is stirring again!"
An elderly merman, shrouded in a wide robe and wearing a hat made of seven corals, spoke respectfully.
The Mermaid Queen stared at the Sea-Stabilizing Pearl on the high platform and fell into a long silence.
The Sea-Stabilizing Pearl is a treasure passed down from the era of the mermaid race, bestowed by the sea god more than 10,000 years ago.
Its function is to safeguard the peace of the world.
Although the ocean is dangerous, it still provides a barrier for the world.
Deep within some seabed fissures, enemies that invade the ocean may emerge.
Hence the name of those strange and ugly creatures, which come from the abyss.
The function of the Sea-Stabilizing Pearl is to monitor whether any abysses are forming in the ocean.
Once an abyss appears, the merfolk must send troops to exterminate the abyssal creatures and close the rift.
"Has a crack appeared?" The Mermaid Queen's voice was icy.
From the moment the Sea-Stabilizing Pearl was bestowed, the mermaid race became the guardians of the sea.
But it's just a nice-sounding title. Those who are truly powerful don't care about the merfolk at all, especially warning them not to trespass on their territory or they'll be eaten.
In addition, the ocean is so vast that the merfolk are not considered to have many offspring.
Thousands of years of protection have left the mermaid race in a state of generational transition.
Protecting the sea and fighting the abyss may result in casualties.
The mermaid high priest nodded slowly, raising his eyes, which were filled with vicissitudes, to interpret the message conveyed by the Sea-Stabilizing Pearl.
After a moment, he exclaimed in confusion, "Hmm? Something's wrong!"
The Mermaid Queen turned her gaze away, waiting for the High Priest to continue.
"Your Majesty, this spatial rift did not appear in the sea, but on land!" the merman high priest said anxiously.
Upon hearing this, the Mermaid Queen fell silent.
Their tribe monitors the sea, not the land.
If they appeared on land, the merfolk would have little chance of taking care of them.
Because the merfolk can only unleash their full power when they are in the ocean.
Although the merfolk can also go ashore, their strength is greatly weakened, only reaching 60% of what they have when they are at sea.
How can we address the issue of closing the spatial rift?
P.S.: Team building activities are tomorrow night, so I need to take a day off.
