599, Greed: She actually called out to both of you?? [First Release]_1

Abyssal plane.

Seated on the throne was a handsome man dressed in a black robe.

His pupils were completely black with no whites to be seen, and his eyes were as profound as the abyss itself. He had broad shoulders, and the black cloak connected at the back seemed to stretch on indefinitely, as if there were no end to it.

"Summon the Sickle Emperor, Bee Emperor."

The man on the throne began to speak.

Each level of the abyss was connected by channels, allowing messages to be delivered with great speed.

Two figures quickly appeared before the Abyssal Emperor, one shaped like a man clad in dark red armor, wielding a strangely shaped sickle, and the other a woman with a fine figure, wearing a black robe but with exceptionally large eyes. Upon close inspection, one would notice her pupils were composed of many hexagonal segments, much like the eyes of a bee.

After a moment of silence, the Abyssal Emperor said, "A god wishes to ally with us, offering us an entrance to Soul Land, but it seems the gateway's opening is time-limited."

"Your task is to wreak havoc in the city where the gateway is located. Kill as you please, but first, take control of a nearby competition arena."

The man and woman below bowed in unison: "Understood."

The Abyssal Emperor tapped his temple lightly with slender fingers as if he still had more to say.

The Bee Emperor asked tentatively, "Any further instructions?"

The Abyssal Emperor looked up, "I'm unsure how sincere that woman is, so be careful. Moreover, there is an extremely powerful being in the Soul Land currently. It seems that, according to the god, he is being lured here."

The Bee Emperor and Sickle Emperor exchanged glances.

The Abyssal Emperor continued, "Try to delay as much as possible to make that formidable individual reveal his strength. I will then be able to analyze him, but remember not to confront him directly. You are no match for him."

The Sickle Emperor sneered but still agreed with the Bee Emperor.

They from the abyssal plane had been observing the Soul Land for a long time; they knew that without the god's intervention, Soul Land was theirs for the taking. How could there possibly be a formidable individual there?

…

Tian Dou Competition Area.

Several matches were taking place simultaneously in the vast arena where Shrek Academy was waiting in the staging area.

The Soul Master students had no inkling of the disaster that was about to befall them.

"Zhu Qing, the more I think about it, the more it feels wrong. My father is never someone to oversleep. How could he possibly miss such an important occasion today? And the most outrageous part is that neither of the grandfathers called for him."

Ning Rongrong looked extremely puzzled, propping her head in her hands.

"Maybe something came up at the last minute. We have no idea about the recent events in Soul City. Perhaps your father is on a special mission," Zhu Zhuqing said, loosening her uniform a bit as it was too tight and making it hard for her to breathe.

Tang San, sitting to the side, quietly turned his gaze this way. He too felt that Ning Fengzhi's absence was suspicious.

What bothered him the most was that Senior Lin Yi had shown up for such a brief time, saying only a few sentences.

Just then.

"Damn it! Is this how you perform? Even if you fall, you stand back up!"

The coach from Canghui Academy scowled and yelled furiously at the Soul Master students in the competition area.

Ma Hongjun scoffed, "This turtle-looking four-eyed boy is going to die sooner or later."

No sooner had he spoken than a black spear suddenly fell from the sky, "Thud!"

The coach from Canghai Academy had his head pierced right through, pinning him to the ground.

Both the audience and the Soul Masters were stunned.

They immediately looked up and saw that the entire sky was dark and oppressive.

It was filled with bee-like monsters of enormous size. The black spear that had impaled the coach of Canghai Academy was actually the tail sting of these bee monsters!

"Ahhh!"

"Help!"

The audience, frightened out of their wits, began to scream.

The floating bee monsters then lifted their tails, their pitch-black stingers vibrating intensely!

Tang San widened his eyes and shouted urgently, "Fourth Soul Skill! Bluesilver Cage!"

"Boom, boom, boom!"

Blue Silver Vines grew from the ground, enveloping all his teammates within them.

However, those pitch-black tailspines ultimately did not land below. Tang San frowned, only to discover that many Great Soul Masters had gathered above the arena!

How come so many Soul Saints, Soul Douluos, and even Titled Douluos had suddenly appeared?

These were the special invited members from various academies who had rushed to the scene to watch the competition. Tang San was suddenly pleasantly surprised because among them he even spotted his father!

...

Soul City.

The first attack of Thousand Waves ended, and he looked at Lin Yi with a smile.

"Senior, how severe was the damage? What's the reward?"

Lin Yi didn't speak but instead turned his head to look at the big screen in the sky.

At the same time, the eyes of everyone on the scene were drawn to it as well.

Thousand Waves immediately furrowed his brow: "What?!"

"What is happening on Tian Dou's side?!"

"What are those monsters?"

Emperor Xueye was so shocked he dropped his bowl and hurriedly ran forward a few steps.

"Senior Lin Yi! What is that?"

Lin Yi frowned, utterly puzzled.

Of course, he knew what these monsters were.

They were creatures from the abyssal plane, apparently underlings of the Bee Emperor.

But the abyssal plane was part of the plot in the third part of Douluo in the original Dragon King Legend. It would be more than ten thousand years before they opened the passage to the Douluo plane!

How could the portal have opened now?! And in Tiandou City of all places!

According to the original work, it should have been in the uninhabited western regions of Soul Land.

"Ning Rongrong... Ning Rongrong is in danger!"

Ning Lolita shouted, quickly grabbing Sword Douluo's arm: "Uncle Jian, we must go rescue Ning Rongrong!"

Sword Douluo suppressed the astonishment in his heart and quickly nodded: "Understood!"

But just then, the voice of Lin Yi came from the stands:

"Wait."

Lin Yi stood up, his gaze fixed on the scene displayed on the big screen, and he spoke: "It looks like there are many a Great Soul Master guarding around the competition area, there's no need to worry for the time being. You stay here, I will go have a look."

Emperor Xueye was surprised: "Senior Lin Yi, you... you are going personally?"

Lin Yi: "Mhm."

The sudden arrival of the abyssal plane to the Douluo plane was a serious violation of the original plot's development; the only reason Lin Yi could think of was his own existence.

Perhaps the distribution of these numerous rewards had caused a distortion in space-time, which was Lin Yi's greatest concern.

Hopefully, it's not a space-time distortion. That would be very troublesome.

Lin Yi turned and stepped forward, crossing into the void and disappearing.

Tiandou City.

Rakshasa God watched the scene above the competition area with a smile and immediately used Divine Sense to transmit her voice: "The plan succeeded, take action."

"Okay!"

Greed received the message and smiled, ready to descend to the world.

But at that moment, he found that Desire and Gluttony had also moved together, and their destination was the same as his.

"Wait, you two?"

Greed looked at them both with surprise.
