"Boom!"
An endless black fog condensed in the air, transforming into a giant hand that covered the sky and the sun as if it cloaked the entire heavens.
It carried an immense power.
Space seemed to be torn apart, while the earth quaked and wailed.
The members of the Yan Huang Alliance were all on edge, their hair standing on end.
It wasn't that they were scared, but the overwhelming majesty caused their cells to tremble instinctively with fear.
Yet no one ran away, because up high, Empress Bi Bidong, Bossi, Qian Renxue, Di Tian, and others stood firm.
"You dare!"
At the critical moment, an angry rebuke sounded from miles away.
A fist of light burst forth from miles away, instantly traversing the distance and illuminating all directions.
It pierced through the sky-covering giant hand.
The explosion spread, and the destructive hand of condensed black fog shattered in an instant.
"Who?"
The Abyssal Emperor immediately focused his gaze in that direction.
Over seventy Abyss Great Emperors showed shock, unable to imagine that someone was able to break the Emperor's attack from miles away.
Could it be that guy?
The people of the Yan Huang Alliance showed great joy.
They felt as if the clouds had parted to reveal a clear sky and a turn for the better.
"Alliance Hierarch!"
"It's the Alliance Hierarch who has come to save us!!"
"Rumble rumble!"
Thunderous roars echoed across the sky, shocking scenes unfolding before everyone's eyes.
A young figure enveloped in nine-colored divine light led the way at the forefront.
Beneath him, tens of thousands from the Yan Huang Alliance were rapidly approaching the battlefield under the enhancement of his soul power.
Luo Yu's affinity with the world was now extraordinary.
He hadn't felt the abyssal plane's full-blown invasion, so he didn't rush to come alone by teleporting, but instead helped everyone to accelerate.
With his power alone, he boosted the movement speed of tens of thousands.
The scene was incredibly spectacular.
Now that space was fractured, and the abyss was invading, he had just arrived right at the battlefield.
"Greetings, Alliance Hierarch!"
Bi Bidong was the first to speak, saluting in the direction of Luo Yu's approach.
The voices below rose one after another, their eyes fervent.
This level of unity and prestige made even the envious Abyssal Emperor feel a twinge of sourness.
Because he knew so well.
He could suppress these Abyss Great Emperors because of his absolute, unshakeable martial force, while on the human side, the situation was entirely different.
That human was truly beloved.
"Swoosh!"
Luo Yu blinked through space, foregoing pleasantries with the alliance members, and directly faced the Abyssal Emperor in the void.
They confronted each other as equals.
King to king, general to general.
Luo Yu gazed directly at the Abyssal Emperor, scrutinizing and speculating.
Meanwhile, Tang Chen, Qian Daoliu, Bi Bidong, and other superpowerful beings glared at the Abyss Great Emperors with hostility, as if it were a standoff between spear and shield.
"Boy, you have slain nearly thirty of my subordinates and even destroyed my avatar. Do you know your crime?"
The Abyssal Emperor's white pupils narrowed slightly, emitting a dangerously permeating aura, his lips curling into a bloodthirsty, cruel smile.
Luo Yu was indifferent to his words.
Staring at the Abyssal Emperor, he opened his lips to ask:
"Are you barking like a dog over there?"
Over seventy Abyss Great Emperors felt a jolt in their hearts.
Was this boy really so bold as to speak so arrogantly to the Emperor himself?
"What did you say?" The Abyssal Emperor, too, had never expected this human to be so forthright. To not seek a truce was one thing, but to provoke him?
Luo Yu's lips curved upward.
"What's wrong, Abyssal Emperor, could it be you're deaf?"
"I'm asking you…"
"Why didn't you just stay in your gloomy dog kennel, instead of coming all this way just to bark?"
"Seeking death!"
```
The Abyssal Emperor gritted his teeth with fury.
"Just because you've slain an avatar of mine, you think you have the capital to stand against me?"
"Boom!"
His thousand-foot-tall massive form shifted in the void, bringing up rolling black tides.
A punch thundered out, its momentum overwhelming like mountains collapsing, the terrifying pressure causing everyone's scalp to tingle.
Luo Yu, however, stepped forward on the backs of ten Fortune Dragons, and pointed out a finger, challenging the onslaught.
"Clang!"
The sound of metal clashing rang through the heavens, shaking the battlefield.
All were shocked.
"Just a single finger blocked it?"
Compared to the Abyssal Emperor's thousand-foot-tall form, his fist was as large as a mountain, and yet his mountainous attack was stopped by a finger?
"Child's play."
"Scram!"
Luo Yu coldly shouted, his eyes flashing with purple electricity, and he put force into his finger, repelling the giant fist back.
The scene caused an uproar for a moment.
The power Luo Yu now displayed with this finger could kill anyone present, except for the Abyssal Emperor.
The eyes of the more than seventy Abyss Great Emperors watching Luo Yu completely changed.
They were filled with dread.
Could such a terrifying individual really be nurtured by a plane like Soul Land?
This was surely a joke.
"Heh heh."
The Abyssal Emperor was not annoyed and continued his assault.
When immortals battle, mortals suffer.
The mere shockwaves that scattered were enough to make countless people sway. Had they not dodged far enough, they would have been sent reeling with blood spurting from their mouths.
After a series of exchanges of blows, Luo Yu always held the upper hand.
It would be strange if he didn't maintain the advantage.
After all, within Luo Yu's body were the origins and soul bones of the Nine Great Dragon Kings. The soul bones enhanced his physical body while the Dragon King Origin subtly changed his potential.
How could the Abyssal Emperor compete?
Luo Yu looked as if he could see right through the Abyssal Emperor's thoughts and sneered:
"Why bother with all these probes?"
"No matter what, I assure you, today you are bound to meet your downfall here, and may even lose your life."
The Abyssal Emperor sneered in response.
"Today will certainly be your death without question."
His body rapidly shrank to the size of an ordinary person, which gave him agility countless times greater than his previous colossal size.
Once again, he charged out to battle with Luo Yu.
Meanwhile, the more than seventy Abyss Great Emperors and the people of the Yan Huang Alliance had a tacit understanding not to start fighting.
Because they all understood clearly that with powerhouses like Luo Yu and the Abyssal Emperor present,
whether they won or lost was irrelevant. The true determinant of victory in this war would be the winner of the battle between Luo Yu and the Abyssal Emperor.
In every exchange, Luo Yu was completely dominating the Abyssal Emperor.
At that moment, a sinister sneer crept onto the corners of the Abyssal Emperor's mouth.
"Boy, you really think I've been trying to compete with you in physical strength the whole time?"
"You've fallen into my trap."
He seized an opening in Luo Yu's defense and a purple glow flashed in his palm, revealing a gorgeous and sharp purple halberd.
The halberd's blade flickered with sharp purple divine light.
He thrust it toward Luo Yu's heart.
The people of the Yan Huang Alliance let out anxious cries of alarm.
And the Abyss Great Emperors' eyes revealed a look of realization.
"Heaven Saint Crack Abyss Halberd?"
"Did the Emperor plan to kill that guy right from the start?"
Just as he was about to strike home, the Abyssal Emperor's smile was laced with victorious cruelty.
"The Heaven Saint Crack Abyss, a super divine weapon condensed from my entire abyssal plane. It cannot be used for long-range attacks, only close combat," he declared.
"But it does possess one most twisted ability, that is, it ignores any defense."
"You can't block this, die!" he exclaimed.
Halberd in hand, he transformed into a vortex and stabbed at Luo Yu's chest…
