A Vanguard Sent to Its Death, the Fiery Emperor Descends

At the exit of the Abyss Passage, all the Soul Tool deployed there have entered automatic firing mode, reacting rapidly.

The assembled Blood Division Legion soldiers also began their attack.

The Blood God Legion is divided into two parts: the Blood Division and the God Division. Each division has five regiments. The former is responsible for the direct battles against the Abyss, while the latter is a special forces division, which includes various support units and Mecha combat regiments.

The Blood Division was the first to arrive.

With Zhang Huanyun's orders, they were already on guard against the possible Abyss Tide, and since they were already stationed near the Abyss Passage, their reaction was naturally very swift.

Tens of thousands of soldiers, relying on fortifications and with dense soul-guided firepower, tightly sealed off the passage exit.

Countless soul-guided rays and dense Soul Cannon Shell intertwined to form a net of death, sniping at every Abyss Creatures that rushed out of the passage.

The roaring sound was incessant.

Under the overwhelming barrage of fire, the Abyss Creatures at the forefront were pierced and blown to pieces, their bodies exploding into clouds of black mist, which were then sucked back into the passage.

However, even more Abyss Creatures surged outwards at an astonishing speed, one after another, as if they could never be killed.

However, due to the intense barrage of fire, these Abyss Creatures were unable to break out of the passage for the time being.

However, the officers of the Blood God Legion did not look too good.

Because they could clearly see that the density of Abyss Creatures inside the Abyss Passage was constantly increasing.

The number of Abyss Creatures is still growing.

At first, only four-clawed and six-clawed bats and some common Abyss Creatures emerged. Now, some advanced Abyss Creatures have appeared.

As time went on, many Abyss Creatures that excelled in ranged offense and defense also emerged. They began to use their ranged attack and defense capabilities to resist soul-guided rays and Soul Cannon, creating opportunities for Abyss Creatures that were good at melee combat.

If not for prior notification, no one would have remained stationed inside the Abyss Passage, and faced with such Abyss Tide, hundreds of elite soldiers would likely have been lost.

Thinking of this, the officers of the Blood God Legion couldn't help but feel somewhat fortunate.

Just then -

"Aww--!"

A frenzied roar suddenly erupted from the depths of the Abyss Passage, making one's eardrums ache. The sound was filled with savagery and oppressive power, as if it came from an ancient Ferocious Beast.

The Abyss Creatures had been surging wildly below seemed to receive some kind of command, quickly parting to both sides to make way for a wide passage. A dense Abyss aura surged out like a tide, and amidst the churning black mist, three enormous figures slowly appeared.

The three Abyss King —the Six-Clawed Demon Empress, the Three-Headed Devil Snake, and the Bone Mountain Devil Lord— staggered out, surrounded by numerous high-ranking Abyss Creatures.

They erected a protective shield, attempting to cover the attack of the Abyss Creatures.

"This aura—is it the Abyss King?" Xu Weitao frowned.

Xu Weitao is the Blood Division Commander, a Titled Douluo, and Three-Word Battle Armor Master.

Upon seeing the Abyss send out the Abyss King, he did not rashly attack based on his personal strength. Instead, he raised his hand and ordered, "First Regiment, First Battalion, Proton Rays, aim at the location of the Abyss King and fire continuously to suppress its movement."

"First Regiment, Second Battalion, high-explosive shells, free-loading, targeting the Abyss King, firing in staggered bursts. The rest of you maintain fire control over ordinary Abyss Creatures, don't let the grunts rush up."

The cannons roared.

The Soul Tool Turret of the First Battalion of the First Regiment quickly switched ammunition. The blue energy light at the muzzle suddenly turned into a blinding white proton beam, which had a strong penetrating and disintegrating effect on the body. High-explosive shells were loaded in the rear, and heavy shells were pushed into the breech, with dangerous red lights flashing at the fuses.

"Put!"

At Xu Weitao's command, hundreds of proton beams, like white spears, pierced through the grayish-white mist and accurately struck the three Abyss King. Following closely behind were high-explosive bombs that roared out, leaving dense trails in the air before crashing down in a deluge.

Although the three Abyss King were not weak and had a group of high-level Abyss Creatures at the Titled Douluo level to help them resist, they were no match for such concentrated fire. Their protective shields shattered quickly, and within seconds they gave up on taking the lead, shielding the Abyss army in front of them and hiding behind it.

"Damn it, the Blood God Legion was prepared!"

Feeling a sharp pain in its body, the Six-Clawed Demon Empress looked down at its chest. It didn't seem to have many injuries, but its internal organs were actually damaged, and the injuries were quite severe.

Those proton rays had the ability to penetrate physical and energy defenses and destroy them within the body. If their physical strength were not no less than that of Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast that excels in physical prowess, then that attack would have been enough to kill a human Titled Douluo in an instant.

"Our recent troop withdrawal may have alerted them to something, so it's not surprising they were prepared. What surprises me is their Soul Tool Technology. The development of human Soul Tool Technology is truly terrifying, a world of difference compared to six thousand years ago. If this continues, it will eventually become a major threat."

The Three-Headed Devil Snake participated in the war with the Douluo Continent six thousand years ago and has vivid memories of the Soul Tool Technology of the Douluo Federation at that time. Compared with now, it has made great progress and is incomparable.

"Now is not the time to talk about this. Since we can't break through this defense line quickly, let our men wear it down."

The Bone Mountain Devil Lord said from the side, "Our job is to buff our warriors, wear down the Blood God Legion, and build up the battle lines. Just be careful not to let that human wielding the Divine Tool gain any advantage."

This army wasn't sent out to fight; it was sent as the vanguard to their deaths.

As the Abyss Creatures perish in battle, their corpses transform into Abyss energy and return to the vicinity of the passage. The Abyss side can then use this energy to expand the passage, allowing more powerful beings to descend.

Therefore, whether the Abyss army lives or dies, the Abyss side will not lose out either way.

If they survive, they can attack and deplete the Blood God Legion's health and weapon reserves, which would be a win.

They either die and expand the portal, or return to the Abyss as new Abyss Creatures and then make a comeback—a win-win situation.

According to the theory of relativity, since the Abyss won, the Douluo Federation naturally lost.

They've won Abyss.

The only thing to watch out for is that guy who can devour Abyss energy. We can't let him devour it at will, otherwise their Abyss will also suffer losses.

The other two Abyss King nodded in agreement with its proposal.

The three Abyss King roared, and dark red halos emanated from them, spreading to the surrounding Abyss Creatures. This caused the Abyss Creatures to swell in size, transforming them into bloodthirsty berserkers who charged towards the defensive line.

Seeing the three Abyss King protect the Abyss army in front of them, and instead of actively attacking the Abyss Creatures, Xu Weitao also stopped chasing after them. Instead, he had the Blood Division army withstand the pressure while taking turns to rest and meditate to recover their energy and Soul Power.

Battles against Abyss Creatures are always protracted, sometimes lasting for hours, sometimes for days, and sometimes even more than a month. Without proper arrangements for soldiers' rest and rotation, it's impossible to sustain such a war of attrition.

Just then, the God Division's Mecha force, including Zhang Huanyun, Heartless Douluo, and Smiling Douluo, all arrived at the Abyss Passage.

Zhang Huanyun descended from the sky and landed next to Xu Weitao. Looking at the scene before her, her eyes narrowed slightly.

"The Abyss King appeared right at the beginning, so there will probably be even stronger beings later. It seems we've really caught a big fish this time."

Xu Weitao was unaware of the plan and was somewhat surprised by the term "big fish," but he did not delve into it further.

"Should we cover your actions and the Blood God Battalion's killing of these Abyss King first?"

The Blood God Battalion is a concentration camp of the Blood God Legion's strongest members, all of whom are Titled Douluo or higher-ranking Three-Word Battle Armor Master.

These powerful figures had arrived at the battlefield with Heartless Douluo and the others, but they dared not rush in rashly.

Not to mention the possibility of being severely attacked by their teammates, the three Abyss King are currently at the rear of the Abyss army, surrounded by more than a dozen Abyss Creatures at the Titled Douluo level, all of which are high-level Abyss Creatures such as Black Empress Clan and Demonic Charm, as well as hundreds of Abyss Creatures at the Soul Douluo level, and many more at other levels.

Even if Three-Word Battle Armor Master is comparable to Super Douluo, they won't gain any advantage by going in; they might even be killed in an instant.

Of course, the same applies to the Abyss Creatures; the fate of those powerful beings who rushed over has already been demonstrated by the three Abyss King.

However, with several Four-Word Battle Armor masters present, especially with Zhang Huanyun, the former sixth legion commander Bright Mirror Douluo, Xu Weitao was not worried about failing to kill the three Abyss King.

"No rush, let's wait until he arrives."

As Zhang Huanyun spoke, her gaze swept towards the military camp, where she saw Tang Wulin's team had already arrived. A smile crept across her face.

Looks like we don't need to wait anymore, Hu Jie.

Hu Jie, the Smiling Douluo, narrowed his eyes and revealed a slight smile. "I understand."

With a flash, the Smiling Douluo appeared in front of Tang Wulin, carrying him to the front line in an instant, leaving only the astonished Xie Xie, Xu Xiaoyan, and the other three behind.

Upon arriving at the front lines, Smiling Douluo pointed to the area where the Abyss King was located in the distance, "Wulin, can't you devour them all?"

Tang Wulin glanced in that direction and saw the aura of over a dozen Titled Douluo and hundreds of Soul Douluo. He silently looked at Hu Jie.

I suspect you're making things difficult for me.

If I devour these powerful beings, I will die, I really will die, and I will explode!

Seeing Tang Wulin's resistant expression, the Smiling Douluo knew he wasn't up to it yet, and couldn't help but sigh regretfully, "Then let's deal with one Abyss King first. Be prepared."

Without a powerful Abyss expert at the Limit level guarding the area, killing these Abyss experts wouldn't be difficult.

The key is that killing them is pointless; after a while, those Abyss powerhouses will be back to being formidable warriors.

If Tang Wulin could accept them all, that would be great, but unfortunately, the other party's current small frame isn't up to the task.

Seeing this, Zhang Huanyun couldn't help but feel sorry for Huo Yuhao.

"Surely His Spirit Ice Crown should also be able to control this Abyss energy, right? I just don't know if he's arrived yet."

As he was thinking this, he suddenly received a communication from his adjutant at headquarters.

"Commander, our reconnaissance troops have detected energy signatures from several individuals at the Titled Douluo level or higher, approximately 50 miles to the southwest."

O

"Did you find it?"

Zhang Huanyun's face turned cold, and he was about to give the order.

But the adjutant continued, "Besides that, we have a message from the deputy temple master of the War God Temple; he's coming to provide support with his men."

Zhang Huanyun was taken aback at first, but then, thinking of the relationship between Heaven Blessed Douluo and Yue Tian Douluo, she understood.

It must have been His Majesty Huo Yuhao who notified him.

Since this matter concerns Heaven Blessed Douluo, it's reasonable for Yue Tian Douluo to come over. If Yun Ming hadn't already gone on a naval expedition, he probably would have come too.

"Pass the positions of those Holy Spirit Cult Titled Douluo to Yue Tian Douluo, and let Yue Tian Douluo and the others deal with the enemies over there. We can hold out here in the Abyss Passage."

The adjutant at the command post responded and immediately went to do it.

Zhang Huanyun refocused her attention on the battlefield before her.

Yue Tian Douluo has arrived, Spirit Ice Crown must be arriving soon as well.

So, we can speed things up a bit and force out the Abyss Emperor, who is actually leading the team, before the enemy arrives.

If it were a lower-ranking Abyss Emperor, they probably wouldn't even need Her Spirit Ice Crown appear; they would have already resolved this Abyss Tide.

Thinking this, Zhang Huanyun turned his gaze to the Heartless Douluo Cao Dezhi beside him, "Old Cao, cooperate with me. Let Tang Wulin kill an Abyss King in a safe environment first, and then launch a general attack. Old Xu, clean up the battlefield."

As soon as he finished speaking, a mirror appeared behind him. At first, it was only half a meter in diameter, but it quickly grew to fifty meters under the effect of his Soul Skill.

The mirror surface shimmered with Power of Space, reflecting the battlefield before them and the powerful Abyss warriors in the distance.

Seeing this, the Heartless Douluo understood Zhang Huanyun's thoughts. He nodded, and with a flash, he disappeared without a trace.

Xu Weitao was also aware of his legion commander's Soul Skill, so he increased the artillery output and temporarily cleared a space on the battlefield.

The Six-Clawed Demon Empress was coldly observing the Blood God Legion's defensive line, while simultaneously using its Abyss King abilities to bolster the fighting power of its people in front. Suddenly, it sensed something amiss—the space around its body seemed to be torn apart by Formless force.

His colleagues were right next to him, yet none of them noticed anything unusual about it.

It's like being imprisoned in a square cage, isolated from the world, unable even to let its voice travel out.

What happened?

A sudden sense of alarm arose in the Six-Clawed Demon Empress's heart, and it instinctively tried to break free. However, four giant swords had already silently appeared around it, and the Spatial Solidification. Its movements were instantly restricted, and then a bright, almost divine light descended vertically from the sky, enveloping it completely.

The light was neither scorching nor dazzling, yet it exerted an irresistible pull on the Six-Clawed Demon Empress from the depths of his soul.

The next instant, its enormous body, reaching a height of 100 meters, transformed into a beam of white light and vanished into thin air.

At this moment, the two Abyss King and the other Abyss Creatures awoke as if from a dream, filled with horror.

They only saw four giant swords appear, followed by a flash of white light that took away the Six-Clawed Demon Empress so quickly that they didn't even have time to react.

"Humans have captured the Six-Clawed Demon Empress?"

How did they do that?

"Was it a human being at the Emperor level who made the move?"

The Bone Mountain Devil Lord's enormous body froze on the spot, his bone spikes trembling slightly, clearly terrified.

The Three-Headed Devil Snake simultaneously turned towards the Blood God Legion's defensive line, their eyes flashing, before finally confirming, "It's that mirror!"

That's right, it's Zhang Huanyun's mirror.

Tang Wulin could see it clearly from the side. Zhang Huanyun's Martial Soul flashed with a burst of light, and then the huge Abyss Creatures appeared in the mirror, seemingly trapped in another mirror space.

"This... is such a sinister spatial transformation Soul Skill." Tang Wulin clicked his tongue in amazement.

Is this the power of Zhang Huanyun, the commander of the Blood God Legion Bright Mirror Douluo?

I love it! It's absolutely essential for scheming against people!

"Wulin, go in Golden Dragon Spear."

"Yes!"

Zhang Huanyun sent Tang Wulin into the mirror space and was about to order a general attack.

Just then, he witnessed a scene he would never forget.

It seemed that his actions had provoked the Abyss Creatures, because before he could give the order, the remaining two Abyss King had their Abyss warriors launch an attack.

At the same time, the two Abyss King and all the Abyss powerhouses at the Titled Douluo level and above sacrificed themselves!

Dark red beams of light shot into the sky from the Abyss army, transforming into dense Abyss energy that began to challenge the seal of the Abyss Passage.

Within the crimson pillar of light, the Three-Headed Devil Snake looked at the Bone Mountain Devil Lord, "You are indeed decisive."

The suggestion from the Bone Mountain Devil Lord is to immediately offer sacrifices and expand the passage.

"We can die, but we absolutely cannot die at the hands of that human who wields the Divine Tool. The Abyss Seed of the Plane we carry are of paramount importance; if that Divine Tool can destroy them, you understand the consequences."

The Bone Mountain Devil Lord said in a deep voice, "Human powerhouses now have the ability to capture us silently, so we can't wait any longer!"

Their purpose in holding the rear is to enhance the army's strength, deplete the Blood God Legion, expand the passage, and incidentally build a battle line for the army behind them.

But all of this is predicated on their ability to protect themselves. Of course, this ability to protect themselves does not mean that they can survive even when facing Limit, but rather that they will not be killed by Tang Wulin.

Otherwise, if the Seed of the Plane is destroyed, the Abyss will suffer a great loss.

With many powerful individuals protecting them and others stationed at the rear, they weren't actually too worried about this situation arising.

After all, the human boy wasn't very strong, and powerful humans wouldn't normally lead him into their Abyss army to kill them; that would be too risky.

As for the fact that a powerful human could capture them under such circumstances and have Tang Wulin execute them, they had never even considered it before. After all, even if something unexpected happened, to put it bluntly, their self-destruction speed would definitely be faster than the speed at which they Limit be captured.

But they really didn't expect that the other side had a sixth Soul Skill of this spatial transformation type.

In this situation, if they survive, they might be tricked by that old sixth brother on the other side at any time and then handed over to Tang Wulin for execution.

Rather than doing that, it would be better to offer a sacrifice or send oneself to one's death to hasten the arrival of the Fiery Emperor.

Zhang Huanyun had no idea what these powerful Abyss were thinking. He watched this scene and felt completely bewildered.

No, we only captured one Abyss King, and haven't even killed him yet. Is this really necessary?

The Passionate Douluo and the Heartless Douluo felt a terrifying aura emanating from the depths of the Abyss Passage as these powerful Abyss warriors sacrificed themselves, and their hearts sank—it was a power that surpassed them.

This is no ordinary Abyss Emperor; he is definitely one of the highest-ranking beings!

As the main passage of the Abyss expanded, a projection of a figure appeared before the Blood God Legion.

Upon seeing that being, the Heartless Douluo's pupils constricted sharply.

"The Abyss - The Fiery Emperor?!"
