It rocked its body and burst forth with countless dark red light spheres that blasted straight for the abyssal passage’s exit. At the same time, a pair of enormous bat wings spread out behind its back. Its diameter had almost exceeded two hundred meters. The wings strenuously flapped once and abruptly drove its body into flying straight toward the passage’s exit.

“We’re overpowered!” said the Iron Blood Battalion’s commander without the slightest bit of hesitation. However, his heart sank at the same time.

There was no doubt that the enormous creature that appeared unexpectedly was no ordinary abyssal creature. At least, the creature did not exist among the abyssal creatures that he had fought with in the past. This signified that this terrifying creature from the abyssal plane could very possibly be a king. The creature was one of the one hundred and eight kings of the abyssal passage. Its presence was marked that this was its original body and not just a projection! The ability of every abyssal plane’s king could rival a Hyper Douluo or be even more powerful. After all, they had a physique that far exceeded mankind.

The violent booming noise was heard when the passage below exploded into a fiery red sea. The light spheres unleashed by the Six-clawed Demon Emperor were all locked down by soul beams but its enormous body was also slamming into the soul beam right after them.

Soul beams and ammunitions shot onto its body and exploded into balls of sparks as they instantly suppressed its ascending aura and its body turned all red. However, this helped the majority of the abyssal creatures behind it to block most of the attacks which resulted in a large number of abyssal creatures rapidly charging forward around its body.

“Use the high-explosive bombs!” the Iron Blood Battalion’s deputy commander quickly ordered.

Incandescent light spheres exploded below and covered the entire abyssal passage. The Six-clawed Demon Emperor was albeit powerful, but it had only lasted for a dozen seconds before it weakened when confronted by such closely-spaced artillery fire. Its enormous body dropped and dodged a large number of attacks from soul beams and ammunition.

Iron Blood Battalion deputy commander felt relieved. After all the arrangements made over all these years did not go waste. The blockade line was specially arranged to aim at demigod-rank creatures. Relief troops ought to come soon! After all, the energy was limited. They would require an adequate amount of replenishment, only then the could defense position continue to display such massive power.

He did not feel any sense of achievement as he watched the balls of exploded thick mist being absorbed back into the abyssal passage. The biggest issue that troubled the Blood God Army was that there was absolutely no way in which they could truly destroy these abyssal creatures.

Although the battles that lasted for over six thousand years were agonizing, if they could truly destroy these abyssal creatures then their enemies overall ability would be suppressed.

Meanwhile, troops of the Blood God Army soldiers appeared in the distance. All sorts of instruments appeared right after and the soldiers rapidly entered their posts to exchange batteries and replenish the energy. At the same time, the soldiers occupied all sorts of defense positions that surrounded the passage. More soul cannons were built, more soldiers joined in and mechas surrounded the area of main abyssal passage’s exit. A solemn battle formation was formed in order to be fully prepared to engage in battle at any time.

“How’re things?” A huge mecha descended from the sky and arrived next to Iron Blood Battalion deputy commander’s side.

The deputy commander exhaled a breath of relief upon seeing this person. “We’ve managed to block temporarily but our brothers, I’m afraid that more than four battalions have fallen.”

“What?” Ma Shan was startled. The unexpected warning immediately made him realize that the abyssal tide had occurred. Because only the abyssal tide could bring forth such intense warning alarm. He had never expected the situation to be so serious. This amount was equal to the sum of all the deceased soldiers from the past century!

Every Blood God Army’s soldier was an absolute elite so of course, his heart ached for the loss. Moreover, he was well aware that the main force in charge of guarding the passage at this time now was precisely formed of his men from the Blood God Battalion!

“B*stard!” roared Ma Shan in rage.

The deputy commander understood Ma Shan’s temperament very well. “Commander, this is not the time to be worried. The situation is not right at all. These abyssal creatures came from the main passage’s seal for some unknown reason. Such a situation has never appeared before in the past few millennials. Precisely because of that our brothers were caught off guard and that’s why there are so many cases of self-detonation. We shall guard the exit firmly and wait for the regimental commander and Blood God Battalion’s Blood Gods.”

Ma Shan’s aura was obviously not that stable now. Even though he was a hot-tempered person on usual days, he had always treated the men and brothers under him well. He was well respected by the Iron Blood Battalion’s soldiers. How could he stay calm at present when he learned of the number of fatalities here today. Almost one-third of the Blood God Battalion had fallen here!

“I’m going to fight them to death!” Ma Shan raised his hand and pulled out the mace slung on his back. The deputy commander watched helplessly as he failed to stop Ma Shan.

Meanwhile, a figure suddenly appeared by Ma Shan’s side. It was a human being but not clad in mecha. The person pinned down Ma Shan’s shoulder with a hand instantly stopping Ma Shan’s huge mecha and making him unable to charge forward.

“Ma Shan you punk, stay calm. This is not the time for you to go insane. There’s something genuinely wrong with this situation. Go and command your men properly.” The deep voice immediately calmed the impulsive Ma Shan like a spell.

“Regimental commander, please avenge our brothers!” Ma Shan’s voice sounded slightly shaky but not from sorrow rather from ultimate rage.

“Hmm.” Zhang Huanyun patted on Ma Shan’s mecha. “Go and command your brothers well. There’s time for you to fight too.”

“Yes, sir!” Ma Shan shouted aloud as he brought along his deputy commander and withdrew.

Zhang Huanyun was dressed in military uniform with three general stars shimmering on each of the epaulets pinned onto his shoulders. With his arrival, the entire Blood God Army’s command naturally fell upon his hands. Following his arrival, it was obvious that the blockade of the line of the defense of the Blood God Army became more orderly. The emotions of all the soldiers calmed down a lot. action

This was the result of his charm. Zhang Huanyun had been serving in the Blood God Army for sixty years as the main pillar of the army. It was precisely due to his presence that the Blood God Army soldiers had such a powerful bond. The army had achieved its most powerful point in the last six thousand years.

Following the retreatment of Six-clawed Demon Emperor the abyssal creature’s assaults from below weakened. Zhang Huanyun began to despatch orders while the attacks from soul beam and soul ammunition at the blockade line weakened soon after that.

Energy conservation!

More and all sorts of defense instruments were sent over in succession and swiftly set up.

It had been a few thousand years since the Blood God Army made countless preparations in order to handle the abyssal plane including all sorts of setups at abyssal plane’s exit over here.

Other than the original defense position there were even more grounding installations to be prepared. The defense soul devices that were sent over could be combined immediately with these grounding installations to form a complete large-scale defense position.

Troops of soldiers spread out rapidly. There was no need for Zhang Huanyun to order personally and they had already entered their battle posts in preparation to substitute their comrades at any time.

Figures rapidly arrived by this side as well.

Blood One appeared next to Zhang Huanyun soundlessly with a deep frown on his face. There was no need for Zhang Huanyun to explain and he too could tell that the situation was not right.

The situation before their eyes exceeded their estimation as it had just been a short period since the last abyssal tide ended. Yet, the abyssal plane had once again launched another all-rounded attack. They had already seen the situation through the monitoring devices even before they got here.

They were completely unaware of how these abyssal creatures were able to come out from the main passage, so the situation was not looking good. This was the most important issue. If this issue was not solved abyssal creatures would come out surging from the main passage endlessly thereafter. No matter how much energy they had accumulated on their side, there would come a moment when their energy would be depleted no matter what.

Abyssal creatures would never truly die, their energy was endless which resulted in abyssal creatures being endless as well.

Zhang Huanyun was feeling rather confident in sealing the defense position and stopping the abyssal creatures from surging out. With the army’s abundant energy storage defending for three months was not an issue for them. Yet, what would they do three months later?

Moreover, the assault from abyssal creatures this time was completely different from the past. The biggest difference was that the abyssal creatures had a king this time. The Six-clawed Demon Emperor was certainly ranked the last amongst one hundred and eight abyssal kings. However, the problem was that it appeared with its true body which could not possibly happen in those branched passages.

Six thousand years ago, mankind set down the seal in order to stop the arrival of these one hundred and eight abyssal kings. On the other hand, the Blood God Battalion and Blood God Army had the ability to easily resist the creatures as long as these kings did not appear.

However, this time the Six-clawed Demon Emperor appeared. Then could an even more powerful abyssal king appear later on? No one really knew the extent of these abyssal kings powers at all.

Soul beams and soul cannons formed the blockade line so the threat was not great to the powerhouses above a certain level of cultivation base.

“Should we ask for reinforcement from the federation? Should we seek help from Spirit Pagoda and Battle God Hall?” Blood One asked to Zhang Huanyun.
