The Abyss Saint Monarch is the core existence of the entire abyss.
Most of the abyss's energy is under his control.
The energy possessed by these abyssal creatures, even the Abyssal Emperor, is just one-tenth of the entire abyss?
Perhaps even less.
After all, besides the Lord of the Plane, the Abyss Saint Monarch, there is not a single true god in the entire abyss. At most, one has the spiritual power of a god's level and another possesses divine power. Other than that, even the top ten emperors are just quasi-gods.
What is a quasi-god?
Basically, it's relying on various abilities to unleash power comparable to a god.
But, ultimately, they are not gods.
Even the emperor with Divine Origin Realm spiritual power and the emperor with divine power have not truly broken through to the Divine Level. They are still under the Divine Level, merely possessing some god-level power due to special reasons.
On the Douluo Continent, that means apart from the Abyss Saint Monarch, no one has broken through the limitation of Level 99, all obediently staying at Level 99.
Among them, the Spirit Emperor of the second layer, whose spiritual power reached the Divine Origin Realm, and the Lie Emperor of the third layer, who possesses divine power, are also Level 99, similar to the current Ellex. They possess power that gods can possess through special methods, but their true level is still Level 99.
Ellex's current state is quite peculiar, but undoubtedly, he has merged into the Douluo Plane, considered reborn in the Douluo Plane. Using the undead and the reincarnation insights he gained from Su Yu, he molded a new body for his remnant soul, becoming an energy being.
This means that Ellex can also be considered a life form of the Douluo Continent now, subject to the Level 99 limitation.
However, his essence is ultimately at the divine sense level, meaning his spiritual realm was originally at the Divine Origin Realm, and in the Dragon Valley, he condensed the prototype of an Undead Divine Position, refined his own power, and attained divine power.
One could say that he has reached godhood in all aspects, possessing the spiritual power of a god and the divine power of a god, but he has not broken through the Level 99 Ultimate Douluo.
Of course, his mastered methods and his realm level are similar to Su Yu's, far surpassing the limitation of Level 99.
The real combat power that can be unleashed?
That requires genuine battle to test.
Gu Yuena is in a similar state, but she shed her originally severely injured body through reincarnation, and her power nearly started from scratch. However, with the ability to absorb and refine her past power, her recovery was swift, and with Su Yu's Ultimate Life support, she quickly returned to the Extreme Douluo standard.
She has also compressed her own power to a divine power level, with her spiritual power directly breaking through to the Divine Origin Realm.
However, for her, these are not her main strengths. Her main strength remains the bloodline power of the Silver Dragon King.
With Su Yu's Soul Spirit Cultivation System, her mastery over her bloodline power has even surpassed the past.
...
The entire abyss consists of 108 layers, each with an emperor's presence, and each Abyssal Emperor is akin to the Lord of the Plane of that layer, able to fully mobilize the power of the entire layer of the abyss.
However, among these 108 layers, there isn't a single emperor who has broken through the divine level limitation.
Only the Abyss Saint Monarch has broken through to the Divine Level, and it's a First-level God!
In terms of Douluo Continent's levels, other Abyssal Emperors are at most Level 99, while the Abyss Saint Monarch has easily reached Level 130 and above!
One can imagine how much of the abyss's energy he alone occupies.
...
With the Abyss Saint Monarch not yet entering the Douluo Continent, even if all the energy the abyss has invested is fully refined, it would be like a drop in the ocean.
The gap with Su Yu's planned goal is more than just a little bit.
"We still have to wait for the abyss to invest more power."
Why did Su Yu allow the battlefield to be set on the Douluo Continent just like that?
In the original story, the battlefield between the Douluo Continent and the abyss was within their space channels, where Soul Masters couldn't mobilize the power of their soul rings and soul skills, which was one aspect of being oppressed in terms of power. But more importantly, it was about leading the abyss to continuously invest power into the Douluo Continent.
As long as the abyss's investment is substantial enough, Su Yu's side will have a guaranteed income.
"The abyss is strong, far stronger than the Douluo Continent, but the abyss isn't stronger than the Divine Realm, much weaker, in fact."
This is the current situation.
The Plane Will lured the abyss, making the Abyss Saint Monarch impulsively invest so heavily to take a bite, but if the tide turns unfavorably, the Abyss Saint Monarch would undoubtedly be the first to give up.
The space channel can't be destroyed by Su Yu; it's the power linking two planes and cannot be easily destroyed. However, the Abyss Saint Monarch, representing the Abyss Plane and the Lord of the Plane, naturally has the ability to cut it off, albeit at a great cost, sacrificing all previous investments.
Su Yu lures the abyss to enhance its investment in the Douluo Continent, so even if the Abyss Saint Monarch sees things going awry and cuts off the channel, a significant number of abyssal creatures and Abyssal Emperors will remain on the Douluo Continent and be devoured.
The main strategy is to first secure a baseline.
The war must still be sustained long-term, but our side must see a safety net.
...
While Su Yu calculates against the abyss, the Abyss Saint Monarch waits for an opportunity on the other side.
