Chapter 558: Joining Forces, the Might of the Holy Prison Plane

Su Yu had originally thought that in this unknown plane there would be, at most, only a few deities.

Who could have imagined there would be as many as twelve?

Even more shocking was the existence of a so-called Emperor of the Holy Prison.

To command twelve god-level powerhouses, this Holy Prison Emperor was definitely no ordinary deity.

How could such power not inspire dread?

 "This really is… intense!"

Di Mingli's pupils contracted; she too was shaken by the news.

Thirteen deities—such power made even her heart tremble.

"Not only that—besides the twelve Lords and the Holy Prison Emperor, this Holy Prison Plane also has the so-called Seventy-Two Attendants."

"Among them, there are thirty-six Low Attendants, all demigods."

"Twenty-four Mid Attendants, all quasi-gods."

"Twelve High Attendants, all at the peak of the quasi-god realm."

"Just these seventy-two Attendants alone are a formidable enemy that cannot be ignored."

Su Yu's expression was grim.

This so-called Holy Prison Plane was frighteningly powerful.

He had never heard of such a plane, yet the strength it displayed was utterly terrifying.

Even the Abyssal Plane that appeared during the era of Douluo III was far from being its match.

Su Yu had reason to suspect that the Holy Prison Emperor, as the master of a plane, was at least a First-Rank God—and might even possess a super divine weapon.

An opponent like that would warrant full battle readiness even from Gu Yuena at her peak, let alone in her current state.

The suddenly descending Holy Prison Plane felt like a massive mountain pressing heavily on Su Yu's shoulders.

"What should we do?"

Wang Dong'er looked grim; indeed, the Holy Prison Plane's strength was outrageous.

Putting aside those deities, just the Seventy-Two Attendants alone were beyond what the Douluo Continent could withstand.

Seventy-two Attendants—that was seventy-two Ultimate Douluo.

What force on the Douluo Continent could stand against that?

Even the Ice God Palace could not!

The comparison between the overt strength of the Holy Prison Plane and that of the Douluo Continent was simply despairing.

Su Yu's expression hardened. "There's only one option right now—delay."

"We must try everything to delay the Holy Prison Plane's complete descent."

"At present, the plane consciousness of the Douluo Continent is still blocking them. As long as we can slow their descent, their god-level powerhouses won't be able to appear on the Douluo Continent at will."

"I believe that, for now, the strongest they can send are those below god-level."

"As long as we can maintain the status quo and I inherit the Ice God's divinity before the Holy Prison Plane descends, then everything will still be in time."

Once he inherited the Ice God's position, and with Gu Yuena by his side, Su Yu would not fear even if the Holy Prison Plane truly descended.

He and Gu Yuena together would not find it difficult to take down the Holy Prison Plane.

The current challenge lay in how to stall the Holy Prison Plane's invasion long enough for him to grow.

Su Yu looked at Wang Dong'er, eyes serious. "Dong'er, I need the strength of the Clear Sky Sect."

Wang Dong'er nodded without hesitation. "I'll notify my two uncles immediately and have them come out to assist."

"Mingli, I also need the power of the Star Dou Great Forest."

Di Mingli was startled. "You want humans and soul beasts to join forces?"

Su Yu nodded.

"But that will be very difficult," Di Mingli hesitated.

"We have to do it, no matter how hard."

Su Yu's eyes were resolute. "This will be a catastrophe for the entire continent. Whether soul beast or human, there will be nowhere to run."

"Joining forces is the only way."

"Not just the Star Dou Great Forest—also the Extreme North, and the sea soul beasts. I need to unite them too."

"This battle will decide the fate of every living being on the Douluo Continent."

Di Mingli said with difficulty, "You know I can't help much with that. The Star Dou Great Forest is one thing, but the Extreme North and the sea soul beasts…"

She didn't finish, but her meaning was clear.

Twisting the entire Douluo Continent into a single rope was nearly impossible.

"I'll have Xue'er go to the Extreme North. As for the sea soul beasts, we'll have to ask Uncle Di Tian to take Lan Lan and Lan Fozzi on a trip."

"If it comes to it, once I'm free, I'll personally take them into the sea."

The sea soul beasts truly were troublesome.

Those brainwashed creatures—even if he revealed himself as the Dragon God's reincarnation—might not be easy to deal with.

Most sea soul beasts were less like soul beasts and more like the Sea God's dogs.

Convincing them would not be easy.

But they had to try.

And he believed there would be powerful sea soul beasts who disdained being the Sea God's lapdogs.

If they truly remained obstinate, he could only harden his heart and let some sea soul beasts be sacrificed.

Once they were hurt badly enough, they would naturally seek help.

Hearing this, Di Mingli gave a slight nod. It was a last resort, but there was no other way.

Su Yu drew a steadying breath and looked over Zhongshan City, which had now been fully taken.

"Dong'er, Mingli, let's enter the city."

Setting aside his tangled thoughts, Su Yu led the women into Zhongshan City.

…

Three days later.

Su Yu and the others rendezvoused a fifty kilometers outside Mingdu City.

"Hall Master!"

"Young Master!"

Ju Zi and Shui Lingguang wore battle armor, cloaks snapping in the wind behind them.

"You've all worked hard."

Su Yu nodded with a smile.

Being able to rendezvous here meant that Yelan City and Haibo City had been completely taken.

"It wasn't hard. It was the soldiers' efforts," Ju Zi replied.

Su Yu nodded, then asked, "Did you encounter any mysterious black-robed people?"

At that, Shui Lingguang's face grew solemn. "Reporting to Young Master, we did!"

"While attacking Yelan City, I was obstructed by two black-robed figures, both at the Ultimate Douluo level."

"Though I did my utmost, I only managed to repel them, not capture them. Please punish me, Young Master."

"Huh, Sister Lingguang, you ran into them too?"

Ju Zi let out a soft sound of surprise, then said, "I likewise encountered two black-robed figures during the assault on Haibo City."

"Those two caused significant casualties among the Holy Slayer Army. In the end, the Third Priest took action to drive them back."

"The Third Priest said those two were extremely strange—not ordinary Ultimate Douluo."

"As I thought!"

Su Yu's brows furrowed, a cold gleam flashing in his eyes.

"Young Master, what exactly are those black-robed people?" Shui Lingguang asked.

Su Yu sighed and explained everything.

"What?"

"The Twelve Lords of the Holy Prison?"

Shui Lingguang and Ju Zi were both shocked, their faces paling.

"In that case, those black-robed ones should be the so-called Seventy-Two Attendants," Shui Lingguang said.

Su Yu nodded. "The ones we met were likely the Low Attendants among the Seventy-Two. Each of them has demigod-level strength."

Demigods.

That was no small matter.

Su Yu might have slain two with ease, but in truth, a demigod-level powerhouse was already extremely difficult to deal with.
