Chapter 51: Tang Fozu, you really have done all the bad things! [Seeking monthly votes]
That year, a spatial passage suddenly appeared in the depths of the Far North.
Then, creatures from other planes followed this passage into Douluo Planet.
Huo Yuhao's pupils shrank: "Other planes?
Besides the Abyss Plane, there are other planes connected to Douluo Planet?"
Xue Di nodded: "Yes, it's another new plane.
Ten thousand years ago, when you left, you told me that an Abyss Plane would appear soon.
So I set up defenses there early on, so when the Abyss Plane appeared, it didn't cause a situation of devastation for all living beings.
But what I didn't expect was that there was actually a similar plane passage in the Far North.
The characteristic of these unknown creatures is that they devour souls. Wherever they pass, all humans and soul beasts will have their souls devoured, turning into empty shells.
So we call them soul-devouring creatures.
After these soul-devouring creatures arrived on Douluo Planet, the first to suffer were the soul beasts in the depths of the Far North.
At the time, I was the current Spirit Pagoda Master, stationed at the Pagoda headquarters.
The Far North was guarded only by the Titan Snow Demon King and the Ice Bear King.
Although they led their minions in a desperate resistance, the soul-devouring creatures were simply too numerous, and some escaped from the depths of the Far North.
Upon receiving the news, I quickly led several powerful Spirit Pagoda members back to the Far North.
Fortunately, the Far North was guarded by the Titan Snow Demon King and the Ice Bear King. Otherwise, those soul-devouring creatures would have already fled in droves, slaughtering the neighboring cities.
That would have been a disaster!
Huo Yuhao's teeth were itching with anger. He already knew the plot of the original novel, which was why he had asked the Snow Empress to take precautions against the Abyssal Plane.
But what he hadn't anticipated was that Douluo Planet possessed more than just the Abyssal Passage.
The Abyssal Plane in the original novel could be said to have been deliberately lured here by Tang Fozu.
What about this Soul-Devouring Plane?
A flicker of pain flashed through Xue Di's eyes. "That battle was brutal!
We were caught off guard, and the first group of warriors who followed me back to the Far North suffered heavy casualties.
Later, the Federation urgently mobilized all nearby mecha armies and countless fixed-mounted soul-guided artillery shells.
Add to that the subsequent arrival of the Spirit Pagoda's powerful warriors, led by Di Tian, as well as those from Shrek Academy and the War God Temple.
With the combined efforts of our three organizations and the Federation, we were able to drive these soul-devouring creatures back into the Soul-Devouring Passage, successfully preventing the disaster from spreading to the interior.
In that war, our Spirit Pagoda's three deputy tower masters and eleven Spirit Envoys all perished!
Of the eight major clans of the Spirit Pagoda, four were completely wiped out!
Furthermore, the former Shrek Academy Sea God Pavilion Master perished in battle, three of the Shrek Seven Devils of that generation perished, and only two of the eleven War Gods of the War God Hall remained.
The casualties in that battle exceeded one million!
Because our Spirit Pagoda was at the forefront, we suffered the heaviest casualties.
It took nearly a thousand years for the Spirit Pagoda to recover even slightly!
Xue Di paused. "However, the Soul Devouring Plane also suffered heavy damage.
The Soul Devouring Plane is divided into one hundred caves based on strength, each home to a Soul Devouring race led by a Soul Devouring Demon Emperor.
In that battle, over half of the Soul Devouring Demon Emperors from the last fifty caves of the Soul Devouring Plane perished, as did eighteen from the first fifty. As for ordinary Soul Devouring creatures, we slew countless of them.
After driving these Soul Devouring creatures back into the Soul Devouring Passage, we discovered that there was actually an ancient seal at the entrance to the Soul Devouring Passage that had already been broken."
The soul-devouring creatures, thanks to the loosening of the seal, were able to break free and successfully reach the Douluo Planet.
So, I, Di Tian, and the few remaining powerful humans from the three major organizations worked together to repair the seal.
However, the seal frequently loosened, requiring the infusion of Ultimate Ice to maintain its hold.
Since then, I resigned from my position as Master of the Spirit Transmission Pagoda and have remained stationed in this far north, constantly reinforcing the seal with Ultimate Ice to prevent the soul-devouring creatures from breaking through again.
It's unknown where these soul-devouring creatures live, but the loosening of the ancient seal suggests they've likely visited the Douluo Plane long ago.
I wonder why the ascended Buddha Tang, now a Divine King, didn't take action to eliminate this Soul-Devouring Plane!
Anger flashed in Huo Yuhao's eyes.
Others might not know about this Soul-Devouring Plane, but how could Buddha Tang be unaware of it?
Why would he sacrifice others to fulfill his grand plan?
Spanning thousands of years, tens of millions of powerful warriors and innocent civilians were sacrificed, just to build the Tang family's empire?
Tang Fozu, you've truly committed countless evil deeds!
Xue Di said in a deep voice, "I called you here this time, claiming to want to accept you as my disciple and teach you how to use the Ultimate Ice Martial Spirit.
But in fact, I mainly wanted you to help strengthen the seal.
Because in recent years, I've noticed that the seal is loosening more and more frequently, and the amount of Ultimate Ice required each time is increasing. I'm worried that the seal will soon be completely out of control.
In recent years, I've also trained many ice elemental spirit masters and spirit beasts. Every time the seal is reinforced, I take the lead, raising the ice elemental spirit power of other ice elemental spirit masters to the level of Ultimate Ice, and then infusing it into the seal that I maintain with all my strength.
Because that person couldn't leave that place, I had to call you here.
You are also the Ultimate Ice, so you can purify the soul power of other ice element soul masters to the Ultimate Ice.
In the past, when reinforcing the seal, I was the only one who could purify the ice element and maintain the formation at the same time.
But this time, when reinforcing the seal, I have to devote all my energy to maintaining the formation, and the task of purifying the ice element can only be handed over to you!
After this seal, at least for a long time, soul-devouring creatures will no longer have the opportunity to set foot on Douluo Planet.
Huo Yuhao nodded: "Douluo Planet is my home. Whoever dares to invade will be settled by me.
I am not like that Buddha Tang, who did not take action when he should have, and used the guise of a long-term plan to consolidate the status of his Tang family!
Anyone who dares to get involved in Douluo Planet, I will immediately strike with thunder!
Also, Douluo Planet belongs to everyone, not the Tang family!"
Xue Di looked at Huo Yuhao with appreciation: "Of course it should be so!
Huo Yuhao looked at the Snow Empress. "So, when will we reinforce the seal?"
The Snow Empress smiled faintly. "No rush.
Ten days from now, when the Yang Qi is at its peak, we'll continue reinforcing the seal!
During this time, you'll stay with me!
I'll publicly teach you how to wield the Ultimate Ice Spirit!"
The Snow Empress then playfully winked at Huo Yuhao, as if to say, "You get it!"
Huo Yuhao, reflecting on what he might experience in those ten days, shook his head helplessly.
