Chapter 416: One More Hurdle (1/2)
News once again swept through the whole world, not even a month after the last one.
The whole world was enlightened to the special operations that the top tier Soul Masters undertook.
Two squads were formed.
One constituting of Gu Yuena, Na'er, Xie Xie, Yue Zhengyu, and the other top people from Shrek and the Spirit Pagoda.
While the other was a compromise of only Tang Wulin. Their operation was the invasion of one of the planes that have latched themselves onto the Douluo World.
It was found out that all of the planes that were invading them were severely injured and weakened from an unknown result.
The source of this came from a secret operation that Yun Ming and the others were undertaking while Douluo was being invaded.
This came as both a surprise and a realization to the world. As it explained why Tang Wulin, Yun Ming, and Qiangu Dongfeng weren't around while the plane was being invaded!
While they did join, it was only at the end after there were numerous casualties on Douluo's side.
Regardless, it's because of the operation that they found out the other plane's moment of weakness.
Which led to the invasion of the Mortuus and Arkadians plane.
Both operations ended in an astounding success to the shock of the world. Regardless of the state of the plane, this was still a higher-plane which was ruled by a First-Class God level being.
How could planes like this not have any method to repel invaders while they were weakened?
Yet in the end, both planes fell and it was a gigantic victory for the Douluo World.
A victory that would become a legend in its history for many years.

On the Sea God Island, near the beach.
”Nothing?”
”Nope, there still isn't anything.”
Gu Yuena replied to Na'er who let out a sigh while pouting.
But it's not like Gu Yuena could blame her as even she was getting frustrated, waiting for Wulin's return.
It has only been a day since they all returned but there was still no sign of Tang Wulin. They all saw and knew the Arkadians plane was destroyed.
As at the time of its destruction, brilliant light illuminated the sky with scraps falling into the world.
Yet there wasn't any sign of Tang Wulin coming back or falling from the sky which was strange to them.
Strange to the point some were questioning if he was dead but they dare not voice it out.
In fear of pissing off Tang Wulin friends and loved ones. All of them held this unshakeable faith, that Tang Wulin wouldn't die to something like this.
Of course, this wasn't solely based on their trust in him. But the fact he has constantly survived some impossible odds.
Even when he was in a collapsing plane like the Dragon Graveyard, he didn't end up dead like many thought.
Even when he was sent back a billion years in time, back when humanity was under the rules of the Soul Beasts. He didn't falter once, rising against the Soul Beasts and finding his way back to their present time.
Leading their charge into the Demon Plane, battling the Calamities and dealing with the Demon Monarchs.
Regardless of the odds, Tang Wulin had constantly pulled through.
”It's approaching our deadline...”
”... Do we really have to do it? Can't we use this time to go and look for him?”
”We can't afford it... You know this might be one of our only chances to fully get rid of the Abyssal Plane.”
At the moment, they have been asked whether they plan to take part in the invasion of the Abyssal Realm.
This was the final plane that was latched on to the Douluo Plane and also the one that has been a constant thorn in their side.
This plane had killed many Soul Masters in the past, with their invasion leading to the deaths of many top figures.
Something that Federation and Spirit Pagoda hated, most of them wishing to pay back the Abyssal Realm in full.
But haven't been able from their apparent immortality and the fact their creatures were strong.
Now that they heard the Abyssal Realm had been weakened and there was a way to fully kill them.
How could they not jump at this chance?
The leaders of the top organizations have already approved the invasion of the Abyssal Realm.
But at the same time, Xie Xie had voiced his concern about Tang Wulin and his whereabouts.
Leading to a situation where he and the others had to decide if they were joining this invasion or going to look for Tang Wulin.
”But this is Wulin...”
”I know, any other situation I would have already set out... But he already told us once we destroy the first two planes, then swiftly head towards the Abyssal Plane.”
”... Do you think he predicted this?”
”I doubt it, he would have told us if he wasn't going coming back. This might have been out of his calculation.”
Na'er nodded with another sigh while kicking her feet as the sun shining down on both her and Gu Yuena.
”Fine, let's do the operation. Hopefully, we can finish it quickly before looking for Wulin.”
”Indeed, who knows he might appear during our invasion.” Na'er blinks her eyes before she starts laughing.”Knowing Wulin, I can imagine he will be making a big entrance.”

Ishgar Continent.
Capital Of Tenrou City.
Inside the Academy ground, there was a library located close to the main school building of the Academy.
This library was different from others, taking the form of a gigantic treehouse that was covered with golden leaves and branches.
The tree had a gigantic door entrance to the library with many windows scattered around it. This library really was uncommon, shocking everyone who saw it and making them question why this design.
But Tang Wulin never did say the reason he wanted the library to be built like this.
Right now, Xu Xiaoyan was sitting cross-legged inside the tree library, with books about the stars scattered around her.
Xu Xiaoyu was standing in front of her with an exasperated look after glancing all around: ”I know you said you would be studying... But isn't this a bit ridiculous?”
After news of the destruction of the Mortuus Plane spread through the whole world. Xu Xiaoyu returned to Tenrou City to meet up with his sister to see how she was doing.
