Chapter 1095: Level 93, Collapse!

Tang Wulin hastily said, “Hold up, what do you mean? I don’t understand!”

He was not the only one. Even the Heartless Douluo Cao Dezhi standing beside him was confused. He was also greatly shocked when he saw the sudden appearance of so many beings with powerful auras. However, it was clear that these beings emanated dense life forces and they had an unusual relationship with Tang Wulin.

Damask Tulip replied, “Everything we know is from what we understood after being enlightened by the Life Seed. The Life Seed is actually the originator of all life in this world. In a sense, it even represents nature itself. The Life Seed, in some form, had been left in the Ancient Gold Tree back then. It had always been around. However, when you humans started excessively developing the continent, it caused a steep decline of plants and soul beasts, thereby resulting in a loss of life force in the world. After many years, the Life Seed had suddenly awakened for some reason, and it also possessed a certain degree of intelligence. It seemed to have sensed something. That’s why it inspired you through the Ancient Gold Tree.”

Damask Tulip’s voice suddenly lowered as he continued, “Maybe it’s because you humans have brought ruin throughout the entire continent and drove it to the brink of collapse that such an occurrence took place. So when the Life Seed chose you to be the Nature Child, it hoped that you’d help it restore the continent’s life energy. You have to revive the continent once again so that it won’t end up being destroyed in the end.”

Tang Wulin and Cao Dezhi were absolutely dumbfounded. Could it be that the ecosystem was already in such dire straits?

Damask Tulip continued. “However, the Life Seed represents the life force of our entire continent! That’s why the vast amount of the energy required for the Life Seed to truly be restored, to take root, grow shoots, and unleash life energy upon every corner of the world like the dewfall, is unimaginable. It’s definitely not something that you can accomplish on your own. That’s why when the Ancient Golden Tree fell, it implanted the Life Seed within you. The Life Seed hoped that it could follow you and find some source of life that was great enough to activate itself.”

“It’s just like us. Although we can evolve substantially from the Life Seed’s aura, our life force can also be transferred to the Life Seed to maintain its livelihood. This is the greatest glory to us plants and also an inevitable duty. However, as the overall life source levels in this world are declining, the Life Seed is very weak. That’s why we didn’t know when the Life Seed would truly awaken.”

“It was only after you had completed forming your soul core and released such an immense amount of life energy that you infused the Life Seed anew. The Life Seed was only able to grow and awaken thanks to your life force. However, we were aware that this was forcibly done by the Life Seed. This is because if it did not rely on your strength, it would have taken thousands of years before it awakened. To put it simply, there isn’t enough energy. It could only slowly search for life force after it grew shoots. Through assimilation, it can lure more life force to come out. That’s why after you’re done with your military service here, I had intended to suggest you to go toward a forest containing a huge amount of life energy.”

“However, we never expected you to bring the kind of energy the Life Seed desired most greatly. The purple crystal in that fellow’s body just now was the purest form of life force. It’s a life force from the other plane, and it’s also the thing that the Life Seed needed the most. Also, as it’s not from our plane, the Life Seed has borrowed another plane’s life force to replenish itself. To it, there can’t be anything better than this. For instance, the energy crystal just now can at least stabilize the Life Seed in its current state. It won’t deteriorate anymore. If it’s possible, I implore you to find more life forces like this one. The possibility of the Life Seed’s complete revival will be greater if you find them. We, as beings closest to the Life Seed, will also benefit from it. When the Life Seed is strengthened to a certain extent, it will be completely restored. It’ll bring a stronger life force to this world of ours. From that point onward our world’s life can procreate better.”

After hearing the Damask Tulip’s words, Tang Wulin and Cao Dezhi were utterly astonished. ‘Plane energy? The thing within the Six-clawed Demon Emperor’s body was plane energy? It must have wanted to rely on this energy to run away, but it was captured by the Life Seed.’

If Tang Wulin’s Golden Dragon Spear was not enough to destroy these abyssal kings, he could definitely do it with the addition of the Life Seed.

What surprised Cao Dezhi even more was that this way, it was equivalent to devouring the abyssal plane’s life force and transforming it to the Douluo Continent. This was a great thing for the entire Douluo Continent!

He reckoned that this was exactly what the abyssal plane had wanted to do all this while. They wanted to devour the Douluo Continent to replenish their abyssal energy and strengthen the abyss, eventually giving rise to their own Divine Realm.

The Golden Dragon Spear’s halo gradually dimmed. The Six-clawed Demon Emperor’s body had completely shriveled up. Most of its energy was devoured by the Life Seed and even his Plane Seed was devoured. However, some of it ended up in Tang Wulin’s body.

In addition to the Life Seed’s baptism of life force, Tang Wulin felt that he was formidable like never before. Although he also sensed that this condition of his would not last long, this feeling of being filled with strength was truly wonderful.

“Senior Blood One, there must be more abyssal creatures like this one, right?”

A trace of a smile appeared at the edge of Cao Dezhi’s lips. “There are. Of course, there are. There’s a large supply of them. If what the Life Seed devoured just now was a plane core, then I think the abyssal plane is in trouble.”

…

Rumbling sounds filled the air.

The ground ruptured and lava flowed. The abyssal plane’s ninety-seventh level collapsed. Countless abyssal creatures from level 97 turned into a fine dust as it was destroyed. This made the entire plane violently tremble.

The disappearance of the Plane Seed meant that this layer of the abyss had lost its source of existence. All the abyssal energy started to dissipate and scattered toward the other abyss levels. The Four-clawed Bats, Six-clawed Bats, and other abyssal creatures quickly disintegrated as the level foundered. They turned into abyssal energy and dispersed everywhere.

“What’s happening? What’s wrong with level 97?” A furious howl rang throughout the entire abyss.

Terrifying, colossal figures appeared in the depths of the abyssal plane. All of them had expressions filled with shock and fury.

“Level 97 has collapsed. How’s this possible?” The few abyssal kings nearest to level 97 felt the impact the most. When this level collapsed, it signified disaster for the entire abyss. The neighboring levels were also affected. A large number of abyssal creatures died. Although the energy would not be lost and could still produce abyssal creatures, this was a situation that had never happened ever since the 108 levels of the abyss came into being!

“The Six-clawed Demon Emperor was in trouble. It seems that he has died in the human world. Even his Plane Seed seems to have been destroyed.”

“What? Since when did the humans possess the strength to destroy a Plane Seed? This is impossible. This is the purest energy in the plane. Only if they’re able to utilize the origin power of their plane, would it be possible…”
