" The Abyssal Sage King?"
Chen Xinjie and Zhang Huanyun recognized the man's identity at a glance.
Although they had never met the other party's true form before, they had met the other party's avatar before. If Mo Yuan hadn't repelled the other party, who knows what other problems might have arisen back then.
The sudden appearance of the enemy at this moment clearly indicated that they were fed up with the attacks, especially since the weapons they were using were capable of threatening the Plane Core, which obviously made the Abyssal Sage King feel a real threat.
That's why he personally intervened to intercept the subsequent attacks.
The Abyssal Sage King hovered there.
He wore a dark blue robe and held the Heavenly Abyss Rend Halberd in his hand.
Another Fixed Soul Guidance Cannon Shell fell from above, its brilliant flames dazzlingly bright in the dark Abyss Plane.
With a gloomy face, the Abyssal Sage King swept his halberd horizontally and casually swung it, unleashing a massive blade of light that shattered the incoming cannonball.
A terrifying shockwave struck, but it was stopped by the Abyssal Sage King.
In the Abyss Plane, he was equivalent to a First-Level God without Godhood. Now, these Fixed Soul Guidance Cannon Shell could shatter the continent of the Deep Abyss, but they could not shake him.
But at that moment, a huge flaming greatsword suddenly emerged from the Spatial Passage. The greatsword, burning with endless light and heat, smashed into the light membrane in front of the Abyssal Sage King. The sudden force caught him off guard and pressed him down.
"Ah--"
The Abyssal Sage King lost his footing and crashed from the void, landing heavily on the ground beneath his feet, creating a huge crack in the earth.
But he roared and finally managed to withstand the greatsword's attack.
The Abyssal Sage King's face darkened, and he swung the Heavenly Abyss Rend at the giant sword.
"Oh?"
A ripple came from the void, and the giant sword vanished as if it had never existed.
The Heavenly Abyss Rend missed its target, Abyssal Sage King roared in fury, "Damn humans!"
He suddenly remembered how familiar that giant sword looked. Who else could it be but the human who ruined his plans?
"Wow." Zhang Huanyun looked at the Monitor in the command room. "It must be Mo Yuan who made the move?"
"It must be him. It seems he's been keeping an eye on this area." Cao Dezhi said gravely.
The Abyssal Sage King looked down at the Heavenly Abyss Rend in his hand, then raised his head again.
His gaze pierced through the lens of the Soul Tool, and with a single swing of his halberd, a dark purple light shattered the image.
"The second salvo has been confirmed to have been intercepted; the core destructive effect has been neutralized." The voice of the Academy of Sciences' observation team came through the communication channel. "Should we continue the test?"
Just as Zhang Huanyun was about to speak, the operations team suddenly shouted, "An abnormal signal has appeared at the exit of the Spatial Passage!"
He then immediately accessed the monitoring equipment in the vicinity.
On the Monitor, at the exit of the seventy-second-floor Spatial Passage, the dark golden crack was not closed, but was instead forced open from within by a force.
The edges of the crack were twisted and deformed, and a dark blue hand reached out from inside, grabbed both sides of the crack, and tore it outward.
The crack was stretched open, revealing half of the Abyssal Sage King's face.
"He's opening up the passage from the opposite direction." Cao Dezhi's voice suddenly changed.
Zhang Huanyun stood up abruptly from the control panel: "Close the portal immediately!"
"We didn't open the channel, and we don't have the authority to close it."
"Calm down, let me handle this."
Mo Yuan's voice suddenly rang out.
The next second, a silvery-white light appeared in the scene at the exit of the seventy-second floor, converging from the edge of the crack towards the center.
The silver light collided head-on with the power of the Abyssal Sage King that had opened the passage, halting the expansion of the crack and causing it to begin to shrink back.
The Abyssal Sage King clenched his fingers at the edge of the crack, his knuckles creaking. A wound suddenly split open on his hand, then widened as he exerted force, blood dripping into the void from the edge of the crack.
The passageway was reduced to half a meter wide by the silver light; he was still holding on, but with great difficulty.
"Humans!" The Abyssal Sage King's voice echoed from the rift, hoarse and deep, "You think you can conquer the Deep Abyss with these weapons?"
Mo Yuan laughed, "Obviously not, but it's enough to torment you a few times. Didn't you often rely on your ability to resurrect to wear us down before? What, you can't handle a couple of firecrackers now?"
"Damn it! I haven't even settled the score with you for killing my projection, and now you're provoking me again. Wait till the Deep Abyss flattens Douluo Star..."
"Alright, feel free to settle accounts with me," Mo Yuan said, "Of course, the prerequisite is that you have to get out of here first."
The Abyssal Sage King clenched his fingers again at the edge of the crack, and the silver light continued to contract, squeezing his fingers out of the crack little by little.
Before the passage completely closed, he said hatefully, "When I come out, you'll be the first person I kill."
"Why..."
Mo Yuan sighed, "Even your threats are so low-class; you still need to work on them."
The passageway closed completely. The screen returned to blank.
There was a two-second silence in the command room.
Zhang Huanyun leaned against the control panel and let out a long sigh of relief, "Thank goodness, he didn't manage to rush over."
Mo Yuan's voice continued to come through the communication channel, " Zhang Huanyun."
" Parliament Speaker, I'm here."
"We'll postpone the third round of test missiles. Since the Abyssal Sage King has already made his move, it means the losses in the upper layers of the Deep Abyss have had a significant impact on him. He's currently on high alert, and any further testing would just be a waste of resources. However, he probably won't dare to act rashly anymore, so you can relax a bit more."
"Understood." Zhang Huanyun secretly delighted.
It's good to be able to relax a bit.
"Okay, that's settled then, but don't let your guard down."
"Yes!"
After the call ended, Zhang Huanyun and Cao Dezhi exchanged a glance.
Cao Dezhi spoke first, "I didn't expect the Abyssal Sage King to personally take action. It's just a pity that we couldn't get him to sever the connection of the Spatial Passage."
"We should be satisfied." Zhang Huanyun shook his head and said, "After all these years, how could the Abyss Plane willingly give up the connection? It's already very good that we've been able to completely contain their attack."
Cao Dezhi thought for a moment and nodded, "That's true."
"What are your plans for next? How about taking a break?"
Cao Dezhi looked up in surprise. "Why are you suddenly bringing this up?"
"Hey, didn't Mo Yuan say we could relax a bit? I thought you'd been here for so long, it's time to go out and relax. Not just you, everyone else in the Blood God Battalion feels the same way," Zhang Huanyun said without changing his expression.
However, what he said was true. As the legion commander, he could occasionally go out for a stroll during the Federation's general meeting, but the Blood God Battalion members were completely stuck here, unable to leave.
Cao Dezhi was somewhat tempted, but he quickly shook his head.
