Douluo Dalu - The Story Of Sheng Feilong Chapter 143

Tang Wulin's aura rose explosively, almost to the point of exploding out of him . He was furious; Gu Yue, the person closest to him, was injured and restrained in the room of someone who had thought to be his friend . Moreover, a t.i.tled Douluo also had a hand in this! Just what was happening!

Sheng Feilong looked at him with a stoic expression and spoke in a neutral voice . "Calm down, Wulin . Let me explain the situation before you do anything . " He paused for a moment, waiting for Tang Wulin's response, but the latter only stared at him in silence . "Gu Yue came to my room a while ago with a high ranked Soul Douluo in tow . "

Tang Wulin nearly instantly snapped back in confusion . "A Soul Douluo? What are you talking about? The only people with us are Elder Cai and Teacher Wu; There is no Soul Douluo with us . " Sheng Feilong nodded and continued in the same neutral voice . "I know . That's what's so suspicious about this . They came here and asked more about my second Spirit Essence . I told them everything I told you before as I don't know anything else . And then? Well, they tried to kill me for not telling them anything . "

Tang Wulin was shocked . He couldn't believe that Gu Yue would try to kill someone and quickly looked at her with a questioning gaze . "Gu Yue . . . ?" She didn't answer . She only continued to stare at Sheng Feilong and She Meixiao with hatred . Tang Wulin looked at her and frowned light . "Gu Yue, talk to me . What happened?"

She Meixiao pitched in at that moment, pointing at the half destroyed hotel room with an indifferent expression . "Tang Wulin, what Feilong said is the truth . There is no other version, and she knows that as well . Look around . Does this look like something that would happen without a fight?"

"T-that's impossible . Gu Yue would never try to kill someone! This must be a misunderstanding . " Tang Wulin continued to argue, not wanting to believe it like this; In front of a t.i.tled Douluo, this was all he could do . She Meixiao slightly frowned and spoke in a stern voice . "Tang Wulin . I have personally chased that Soul Douluo . Are you implying that we're lying?"

"No, Senior . . . But there really has to be a misunderstanding . Gu Yue would never do something like this!" Tang Wulin still tried his best . He didn't know why Sheng Feilong called him here, but he feared that Gu Yue would meet a tragic end if he stayed silent .

Sheng Feilong looked at Tang Wulin with a apologetic expression . "Sorry, Wulin, but we haven't brought you hare to talk with you . " Tang Wulin looked at him, clearly confused . "What do you mean?"

She Meixiao vanished from her place and instantly appeared behind Tang Wulin . She raised a hand and quickly hit him in the back of his neck, knocking him out cold . The last thing Tang Wulin saw before losing consciousness was Sheng Feilong apologetic expression .

"Wulin!" Gu Yue cried out and tried to jummp over to Tang Wulin, but She Meixiao's aura firmly locked her into place . She Meixiao caught Tang Wulin and handed him to Sheng Feilong, who in turn pulled him to the said and placed him on the bed .

She Meixiao looked at Gu Yue with a calm, piercing gaze, her voice emotionless . "He's just unconscious; Not harmed . At least, not yet . Whether he ever wakes up will depend on you . So, what will it be? Cooperate and save him . Or die together with him . "

Gu Yue was shaking . She couldn't form a clear thought and completely ignored She Meixiao, only staring at Tang Wulin . Sheng Feilong walked next to She Meixiao, both of them breaking Gu Yue's line of sight to Tang Wulin and looked at her . Sheng Feilong's heart was beating wildly from what She Meixiao just said . Although he didn't think she'd go through with this, the tone she said her last words with made even him shiver .

He breathed in deeply before looking at Gu yue with the same cold gaze as She Meixiao . "You've heard what Master said . So tell us, what do you know about the Netherworld Putrefaction Demon? And who are you? Why do you even know about it; We want to hear it all . "

Gu Yue stared at Sheng Feilong with a blank expression for a long time before she finally forced herself to calm down . She didn't care what they did to her, but her heart ached knowing they would involve Tang Wulin . So she spoke, with a sullen voice and listless expression .

"Originally, there weren't just nine layers in h.e.l.l . There were 18, and they were aptly called the 18 Layers of the Abyss . A long, long time ago, a great war between the Abyss and the G.o.ds broke out . The Netherworld Putrefaction Demon was a weapon in that war . " Her spoke quietly, but her words were clear .

Sheng Feilong frowned, while She Meixiao seemed lost in thought . "A weapon? A demon made into a weapon to fight the G.o.ds?" Sheng Feilong's expression showed his shock, but Gu Yue shook her head . "No . A weapon made by the G.o.ds to fight the Demons and Devils of the Abyss . "

" . . . What?" This time, She Meixiao let out a gasp of surprise . Then Gu Yue continued with a sullen voice . "A living weapon of ma.s.s destruction, sent to the lowest levels of the Abyss to annihilate the Demons, while the G.o.ds themselves fought the Demons of the upper levels . It was made to be the bane of all Demons, their nemesis, all just to eradicate the threat the Demons and Devils posed . "

"Wait, how did the G.o.ds make a Demon into a weapon?" Sheng Feilong's voice suddenly sounded out, but Gu Yue simply continued with her explanation . "After the weapon was sent in and activated, the G.o.ds sealed all entrances and exits of the lower layers of the Abyss and let it rampage inside . Everything was destroyed; Demons and Devils, the land itself - even time and s.p.a.ce in those places couldn't escape destruction . However, it didn't stop there . With all ways out sealed, the excess energy couldn't escape, nor could the souls of the dead . The weapon absorbed all of this – the countless souls of Demons and Devils, the evil energy inside the layers, everything – and slowly mutated into a twisted, demonic form . "

"The once divine, most powerful weapons of the G.o.ds were turned into what you know as the Netherworld Putrefaction Demons – monsters that devoured and destroyed everything that came near them . The G.o.ds didn't know that yet . So after a long time, the reopened the sealed layers of the Abyss and went in to retrieve their weapons . However, none of them ever returned Their prided weapons had turned into crazed beasts craving for destruction, torn apart by the hatred of the Demons and Devils they had slain . They killed the very G.o.ds that created them . "

Gu Yue then stopped talking . She didn't say another word for a long time and Sheng Feilong and She Meixiao also fell deep into thoughts before Sheng Feilong spoke up . "Then, it should be impossible for the Netherworld Putrefaction Demon Spirit Essence that I possess to be the same thing you know . How could crazed, mindless beasts become Spirit Essences?"

In truth, this wasn't exactly what Sheng Feilong thought . The Netherworld Putrefaction Demon inside of him obviously had a spirit . It wasn't mindless, nor completely crazed . Although it exploded into a frenzied rage every time anything demonic was near it, it still had a hint of sanity in it . Moreover, from what Gu Yue said, it should be impossible for those crazed monsters to escape from the so called Abyss .

However, Gu Yue shook her head once more . "No, it's possible . Three of those things were destroyed by the G.o.ds . And another one is known to possess sentience . " She Meixiao frowned frowned, slowly repeating what Gu Yue just said . "One possesses sentience . . . "

"Yes . The most terrifying of them all, sitting on the pitch black throne of the Demon G.o.d in what remains of the deepest levels of the Eighteenth Layer of the Abyss . " Gu Yue once again answered . Her sullen look had somewhat recovered as she understood that She Meixiao and Sheng Feilong truly seemed oblivious of those matters .

However, Sheng Feilong shook when he heard about the black throne . Wasn't the Netherworld Putrefaction Demon in his spiritual consciousness also sitting on a pitch black throne in what seemed to be the ruins of a castle amidst desecrated lands? " . . . What happened to that demon on the throne? How do you know it possesses sentience?"

Gu Yue looked at him, surprised by the question as she didn't understand how it mattered . Still, she answered the question with a plain tone . "Because it waged war against the G.o.ds all by itself . After devouring everything in the eighteenth layer, including the soul of the Demon G.o.d, it gained sentience and rose against the G.o.ds all alone . "

"What happened in that war . . ?" Sheng Feilong's heart was violently shaking . He couldn't help but believe that this sentient Netherworld Putrefaction Demon was the same Demon Spirit that resisded in his Spirit Essence .

Gu Yue still answered in the same plain tone . "Dozens of G.o.ds perished . The sentient Demon was just that strong . They waged war for an unknown amount of time, but couldn't defeat it . " She paused for a moment, then continued with hesitation . "In the end, the Dragon G.o.d and the other G.o.dkings united and fought it together, forcing it back into the Abyss . They managed to somehow destroy the monster's soul, but that only lead to its body becoming a mindless beast again . Then, they sealed it onto the Demon G.o.d's throne for all eternity . "

Sheng Feilong shook in his place . Everything matched up, however, he wanted to confirm one last thing . "How did they seal it . . . ? Do you know of any . . . black chains?"

Gu Yue frowned . Sheng Feilong seemed oblivious to everything she mentioned, but how did he know of the black chains? "They used black chains to seal the demon onto the throne . The indestructible Chains of Heaven, that can bind even G.o.dkings . They're ancient artefacts that, once placed, will never be broken . "
