A name suddenly surfaced in Tang Wulin's mind . He almost blurted out, 'You're the Heartless Douluo?'
He was able to surpass the Atlas Douluo, had a high status in the Tang Sect, was a representative of the Tang Sect here, was able to become the Blood God Battalion's Blood One, and was a general in the military . To have achieved all these, he undoubtedly had to possess untold strength . There was only a single person in Tang Wulin's mind who fulfilled all these conditions and that was the Heartless Douluo, Cao Dezhi .
The Heartless Douluo smiled . "You're a smart kid . I know that you'd be able to guess . The general public had thought that I, Cao Dezhi, had gone somewhere to enjoy myself for my own reasons . However, who would've known that sixty years ago, I had only just begun to understand the meaning of my life? Yes, I've been here for sixty years . I have ventured into the depths of the abyssal plane as many as eight times to scout the situation within the abyss . I've lived a rich life for six decades now . I've succeeded the previous Blood One . He was from the Battle God Hall and was Battle God Hall's hall master for the last three generations . He only told me one thing back then . He said that it's lonely here, but I'll be proud . Life is lonely, but the soul is proud!"
"Today, six decades later, I agree very strongly with his statement . I'm also proud of every soldier in the Blood God Army . Their souls are proud . So, when Zang Xin told me about his wish for you to come here to train, I agreed because I hope that you can also possess a proud soul . This is extremely important for your future . At the same time, it'll allow you to see this world more clearly . "
The Heartless Douluo . This was really the Heartless Douluo! When he heard his words, the gloominess within Tang Wulin's heart vanished completely .
It could not be denied that restoring Shrek Academy to its former glory was important, but guarding the abyssal passage was just as vital!
Guarding a place for sixty years as if it was only a day? What kind of sentiment was this? Yes, their souls were proud .
Tang Wulin took a deep breath . "Hall Master, I might not be able to completely comprehend your train of thought right now, but I'm willing to stay here . I understand what you mean . I'll also give it my all and work hard to improve myself . "
The Heartless Douluo smiled . "Everyone has their own responsibilities . My responsibility lies here, while yours lies with the academy . Don't act with undue haste when you're anxious for success . You must remember, the academy only has hope if you're alive . Even if your generation isn't able to rebuild the academy, you must lay a firm foundation for the next generation . The continent's current situation is chaotic, whether internally or externally, every side is experiencing a series of problems and changes . What you must first do is continue improving and obtain the strength to protect yourself . "
Tang Wulin nodded seriously .
The Heartless Douluo continued, "You're strong . This makes me happy . Alright, I'll tell you about the true conditions of the abyssal plane so you'll have a better understanding . "
"Alright . "
The smile on the Heartless Douluo's face vanished as he spoke with a lowered voice, "The abyssal plane will be more powerful than you imagine . In that world, there are a hundred and eight layers of abysses . Every layer is connected via spatial passages, and a monarch resides on each level . Hence, there are actually one hundred and eight monarch-ranked existences . We call them the 108 Abyssal Monarchs . Among these 108 Abyssal Monarchs, the first thirty-six layers' monarchs have strength on par with human Title Douluos, so there's no need to fear them that much . The monarchs of the next thirty-six layers are equal to our Hyper Douluos, meaning they're also manageable . But the final thirty-six layers are experts that might even surpass Limit Douluos . Indeed, the final eighteen layers' monarch's are practically demi-gods . The 108th Abyss Great Monarch has power akin to a god's . "
"The energy in the abyssal world exists in a special form . It's completely different from our origin energy . They're able to devour life on our world and convert the origin energy for their own use to strengthen the entire plane . On the other hand, there's nothing useful for us in the abyssal plane . Otherwise, the Federation might have put together a great army to march on the abyssal plane . With no benefits to gain, the Federation has entrusted the guarding of the passage to the Blood God Army . "
"The 108th abyssal layer's energy is conserved . In other words, in that plane, all the energy makes up a total amount, and this total amount won't easily change . If it's reduced, then it has to absorb energy from the outer world to replenish it . The outer world's energy is our life energy . That's why after they connected to our plane, the abyss has constantly tried to invade us and strengthen their own overall energy . "
"In a certain sense, you can picture the abyssal plane as an entity, a complete living organism . The abyssal creatures are but its cells . When the cells die, the energy will be recycled and new cells are made . This is the most terrifying thing about the abyssal creatures . We can defeat them and kill their experts, but we can't utterly destroy them . For example, the Abyss King that you encountered before this, Mei Empress, were extreme abyssal experts from the final thirty-six layers . They were affected by the abyssal passage seal and could only project part of their strength here . Otherwise, there was no way that Blood Eight would be able to block that . "
"From the current looks of things, only the first thirty-six layers' abyssal monarchs can pass through the passage . That's why, when I'm here, experts of their ranks wouldn't dare to come through recklessly . After all, even if they can be reborn, the process of recovery after death is extremely long and arduous . "
"Every time I ventured into the abyssal plane, my objective was to kill more and more abyssal experts and buy us more time . Fortunately, six thousand years ago, a great person completed the seal . If the seal was not completed and an abyssal monarch from the final thirty-six layers came, it would be a devastating blow to us . Although mankind's soul technology is advanced, it's not at the level where it can fight with these creatures yet . "
Tang Wulin drew a cold breath . One hundred and eight Abyssal Monarchs! He finally understood why this man was so determined to guard this location . Yes, if there were no experts such as him to suppress the abyssal passages, there would be an unprecedented catastrophe once the passage was cleared and the seal was destroyed . Nobody would be able to bear the consequences of such a tragedy .
"I'm now thinking that if we're able to kill the 108 Abyssal Monarchs, we will be able to completely annihilate their abyssal energy and prevent them from coming back to life . From what I know, the core of all 108 layers of the abyss is their monarch . Once the monarch is truly dead, it might lead to the crumbling of that layer's abyssal plane . The abyssal creatures belonging to the plane will also crumble completely and die out . If that's the case, maybe we can really get rid of the abyssal plane, our great enemy . But all this can only be possible if you're powerful enough . Among the 108 Abyssal Monarchs, the final eighteen monarchs are all stronger than I am . They've already taken notice of you . So, if you enter the abyssal plane, they might very well attack you wildly until you die . Hence, I can't let you take unnecessary risks . On this side of the passage, I can guarantee your safety thanks to the suppression of the seal, but if you're in the abyssal plane, I can't make any promises . "
When he said this, the Heartless Douluo revealed a faint smile on his face . "So the responsibilities on your shoulders might be heavier . If, in the future, you're able to cultivate until you reach the ranks of a Limit Douluo and at least have the ability to protect yourself, I hope that you can come with me as we venture deep into the abyssal plane and attempt to kill the 108 Abyssal Monarchs . We'll completely eradicate this danger from the continent . "
Tang Wulin eyes widened in shocked, and he felt his heart heat up . If he could really kill the 108 Abyssal Monarchs and absorb their energy into his body, he might no longer face any problems breaking through the Golden Dragon King's Seals .
However, he had only absorbed a portion of the Black Empress's energy and his dragon core had changed . If he absorbed energy from the 108 Abyssal Monarchs, just how immense would that amount of energy be?
The Heartless Douluo continued, "Of course, your current cultivation base is highly insufficient, but I can at least see hope for the future in you . One day, if you're able to cultivate up to my rank, you'd stand a great chance of killing some abyssal monarchs with that Golden Dragon Spear of yours . At the very least, you can intimidate them so that they won't casually approach the abyssal passage anymore . "
Tang Wulin nodded slightly . If such a day were to come, then it would definitely be good news for him .
