Chapter 89

"Na'er, is your heart this ruthless?"

Bai Yuan used a Water Spirit Formation to gather a water mirror before him, looking at his reflection in the mirror with two panda eyes, he spoke resentfully.

Though he had taken two punches, saying it hurt wasn't really painful.

What truly left Bai Yuan speechless was merely this superficial injury; with a slight circulation of spiritual power, it would recover to its original state, but the wounds dealt by Gu Yue Na could not be healed no matter what.

Gu Yue Na turned her head aside, arms crossed, her expression cold, her tone devoid of any emotion as she said: "There's something even crueler; want to try it?"

Bai Yuan hastily waved his hand, saying: "No! Not needed!"

He certainly didn't want to provoke Gu Yue Na, who was still fuming.

Just seeing Gu Yue Na's appearance with her anger not yet subsided, Bai Yuan couldn't help but sigh in his heart; after this, he estimated he wouldn't be able to touch her body for a long time.

If only heaven could give him a chance to start over.

He would surely cherish it properly, not through clothing.

A sense of regret inevitably welled up in Bai Yuan's heart.

After all, the feeling and taste through clothing are endlessly memorable; if not through clothing…

Gu Yue Na's expression eased slightly as she said: "Alright, I'll heal you when you leave later; now we should discuss the matter at hand."

Bai Yuan straightened his expression and asked: "What matter?"

His tone hinted at curiosity; in fact, Bai Yuan still couldn't guess what Gu Yue Na wanted to say.

Anyway, Bai Yuan felt this matter was important but not urgent; otherwise, they wouldn't have done that sort of thing earlier.

Gu Yue Na lifted her gaze to look at Bai Yuan with his two panda eyes, saying: "The Abyss matter hasn't been fully resolved."

Bai Yuan blinked, then retorted: "How could that be? In these past few days, I helped you devour over a hundred layers of the Abyss planes."

"With such a massive loss, even if the Abyss wouldn't collapse because of it, the Asura God would never allow such useless things to continue existing."

Of the Abyss's 108 layers, aside from the first layer's Abyss Holy Lord, the rest were all slaughtered by Bai Yuan, and only a few plane cores managed to escape.

Gu Yue Na glanced at Bai Yuan, speaking calmly: "Whether you believe it or not, that's the fact."

"Although you helped me devour over a hundred layers of the Abyss, which is indeed a severe blow to the Abyss, in fact it's only a severe blow; at most we could absorb only half of its energy."

Bai Yuan stared, saying: "How could it be only one-half?"

Although he knew Gu Yue Na had no reason to deceive him, Bai Yuan still found it hard to believe, given that there were over a hundred plane cores, and who knows how many minor monsters.

As a result, it only accounted for one-half of the Abyss's energy.

Could it be that the first layer of the Abyss actually accounts for more than half of the Abyss's total energy?

Bai Yuan paused, then said: "Even if we only absorbed half of the Abyss's power, wouldn't the Asura God go and resolve the Abyss?"

Gu Yue Na lightly nodded, saying: "The Asura God simply hasn't resolved the Abyss; otherwise, the three Abyss passages in the Star Dou Great Forest would have disappeared."

Bai Yuan blinked.

He suddenly realized his joy came too early; the Asura God not resolving the Abyss surely means there are other schemes.

A strong sense of crisis suddenly rose in Bai Yuan's heart.

After thinking, Bai Yuan said: "Na'er, I'll go check those three Abyss passages later to see if I can seal them."

Gu Yue Na nodded, saying: "You could call the Heavenly Gods; they can help you mobilize planar power to seal the Abyss."

"However, before you go, you need to prepare, for outside the Abyss passages, the Abyss Holy Lord can pay a certain price to act against you forcibly."

Bai Yuan slowly lowered his head.

The Abyss Holy Lord, master of the Abyss planes, possesses a supreme divine artifact, the Heavenly Sage Rift Abyss Halberd; his own strength has reached the First-Level God Peak, and he can also mobilize planar power.

Even if it acts forcibly, needing to oppose the planar power of the entire Douluo Continent, it can still erupt with the power of an ordinary god.

Bai Yuan is absolutely no match for it.

After thinking, Bai Yuan, with his panda eyes, gazed at Gu Yue Na's pair of calm, gorgeous eyes and asked: "If the Abyss Holy Lord acts forcibly, how many Dragon Scale Swords would I need to use at once to repel it?"

Gu Yue Na's eyes flickered as she said: "One can block its inter-dimensional strike; if you want to directly send it back, using three to five at once would give you a chance."

Gu Yue Na's voice paused before she continued: "However, if the Abyss Holy Lord acts, I do not advise you to confront it head-on."

"Why?" Bai Yuan asked, somewhat puzzled.

Gu Yue Na said: "The one behind it is the Asura God, and the power of your Red Dragon Scale Sword comes from the Asura God; if he secretly intervenes, your single sword would not be able to block a strike from the Abyss Holy Lord."

"As for the god-level death energy in the Black Dragon Scale Sword, it is useless against the Abyss Holy Lord, because its true form has reached First-Level God strength."

The Blood Dragon Scale Sword is slaughter.

The Black Dragon Scale Sword relies on death energy.

Actually, purely speaking of killing power, each has its own merits.

Both can easily slaughter beings below god-level.

However, when facing an ordinary god, the effect of god-level killing intent will not be great; the opponent can easily block it, while god-level death energy makes ordinary gods feel troublesome, unwilling to touch it, fearing it will invade their bodies.

But when facing the Abyss Holy Lord, god-level death energy shows little effect, since wearing you down cannot harm its life; god-level killing intent can directly block the Abyss Holy Lord's attacks.

Bai Yuan lightly nodded, saying: "I understand, I will prepare well."

"You don't understand." Gu Yue Na said flatly.

Bai Yuan asked: "Anything else?"

Gu Yue Na said: "This time I suggest you fake your death, for if you aren't killed by the Abyss Holy Lord, should the Asura God be determined to kill you, it will definitely have the Abyss Holy Lord open passages elsewhere, launch a planar war, giving it reason to send gods to the Douluo Continent to kill you."

"However, doing so would charge him with dereliction of duty, but to a God King, the impact is not great."

Bai Yuan lowered his head, sinking into contemplation.

Afterward, if gods descend to the mortal realm, can he block them?

The answer is yes; Bai Yuan can block them.

Because he now has over a million teacher virtue points.

He can completely purchase a Five Elements Formation base in the system mall, raising his own strength to half-step God King.

But if he does that, he'll have to face the God King later!

What will he have to block it with then?

He doesn't have another million teacher virtue points.

After a moment's thought, Bai Yuan decided to open the current most-needed treasure chest first; if he could get one or even two pieces of the Five Elements Formation base, he would have nothing to fear from the God Realm.

Bai Yuan said, "Na'er, let me think this through."

Gu Yue Na said, "Think it over carefully. You still have time now—until it's certain the Abyss Holy Lord can't kill you, he won't let the planar war break out yet."

Bai Yuan said no more and decisively opened the current most-needed treasure chest.
