Douluo: Dragon King: Natural God King

Chapter 417: Abyssal Tide! (4.3k) (ask for monthly ticket!)

Jing Shaoyu roamed unhindered in the abyss passage. All the abyss creatures that stood in his way were refined by the Spear of Doom and became part of his cultivation.

Soon, he had covered the same distance as yesterday and was ready to move on.

“Woo-woo-woo-woo-woo-woo—”

A low and shrill whistle, accompanied by a fierce and violent airflow, came from the depths of the tunnel, blowing towards Jing Shaoyu and behind him. This made his face change suddenly, and the Blood God Ring on his wrist also issued a continuous alarm.

"Abyss Tide!" He spat lightly, then turned around and ran without any hesitation. His speed was so fast that in the blink of an eye he surpassed the terrifying airflow sweeping in from the abyss itself.

The so-called abyss tide means that abyss creatures will rush out of the abyss channel on a large scale every once in a while, causing a large number of abyss creatures to impact the entrance of the channel, trying to break through the blockade of the Blood God Legion.

According to the size and level of the abyss creatures, the Blood God Legion divides the abyss tides into three levels. The first and second level abyss tides are not to be feared, as they can be blocked by the first line of defense, the energy shield, built by the Blood God Legion. The warriors only need to stand on the other side of the energy shield to attack and they can easily repel the abyss army and gain merit points by the way.

Therefore, although the first and second level abyss tides are very dangerous, they also bring opportunities, and their impact on the legion is limited.

During the three months since Jing Shaoyu came here, he had personally experienced a second-level abyss tide, so he was very familiar with the abyss tide.

However, at this moment, he was in the S-level abyss channel, and the precursor of the tide had already appeared. This meant that things were serious, because the abyss tide affecting the S-level abyss channel must be a level three abyss tide!

The third level Abyss Tide can be seen as an all-out attack by the Abyss against the Blood God Legion's defense line. The Abyss armies mobilized are larger in number and stronger in strength, and there will be no shortage of Titled Douluo-level Abyss creatures joining the battlefield.

Once this situation occurs, the role of the Blood God Legion's first and second lines of defense will be minimal, and the Blood God Legion will enter a state of full mobilization, and all combat troops will enter the front line.

After each level 3 abyss tide, the Blood God Legion would suffer heavy losses and would need a long time to recover to its peak state. It also had the greatest impact on the Blood God Legion.

Fortunately, the cost of launching the third-level abyss tide is also extremely high for the abyss plane. If it fails once, it will take decades to try again. By then, the Blood God Legion will have almost recovered.

Therefore, the war between Douluo Continent and the Abyss Plane has actually fallen into a long-term war of attrition, with both sides consuming each other's resources and manpower. This war of attrition has lasted for nearly six thousand years, and if nothing unexpected happens, it will most likely continue for another six thousand years.

Jing Shaoyu didn't expect that he would encounter the third-level abyss tide just a few months after arriving. For a moment, he didn't know whether he should be nervous or excited.

With a flash of his body, he rushed out of the abyss passage and arrived at the first line of defense of the Blood God Legion, which was already in a state of chaos.

"Abyss Tide, intensity level three, everyone get ready!" Jing Shaoyu shouted.

As his figure appeared and his voice fell, the node here was already prepared for battle. Huge light shields were erected at the entrance and exit of the passage. The surrounding soul guide turrets were all charged, and the black muzzles were facing the light shields.

The soldiers guarding the passage retreated in an orderly manner. The abyss tide of level three intensity would only increase casualties if they stayed here. The second line of defense was the real main battlefield.

With the deafening alarm, the entire Blood God Army entered a tense state of combat readiness. Long Yuxue, who had been guarding outside the passage, found Jing Shaoyu and shouted respectfully, "Your Majesty, let's go to the second line of defense."

When Jing Shaoyu arrived at the second line of defense, the combat troops on duty had completed all combat preparations. All medium and large-scale defense equipment were displayed, and the rows of defense arrays were in order. One after another, the energy storage soul guides were lit up for joint defense, and the energy fluctuations suddenly increased.

The combat unit on duty was the Iron Blood Regiment. When the regiment leader Ma Shan saw Jing Shaoyu coming, he immediately ran up to him.

"Your Majesty, Major General, the leader of the Iron Blood Regiment, Ma Shan, reports to you!" Ma Shan's voice was extremely loud, and he seemed to have used his soul power to make his voice spread throughout the entire position, letting all the soldiers on the position know that Jing Shaoyu had arrived.

There is no doubt that he did it on purpose. The boost to morale brought by the appearance of a Titled Douluo is unimaginable. Even if the role of a Titled Douluo is not that big in a war of this magnitude, in a world where personal power is everything, the presence of a top-level powerhouse is still very effective.

Jing Shaoyu did not blame Ma Shan for this. He smiled and said, "Go back to your command position and don't worry about me."

"Yes!" Ma Shan answered in a sonorous and powerful voice, his unique soldier temperament was fully displayed in him. He turned around and quickly returned to his command position, staring at the abyss passage shrouded in black fog with full readiness.

The Iron Blood Corps only needs to withstand the first wave of the Abyss Tide, because the other troops of the Blood God Legion are gathering and rushing over quickly.

Jing Shaoyu noticed that above the abyss cave, in the thick black fog, there was a huge metal sphere hanging. The diameter of this metal sphere was more than 300 meters. Hundreds of flames were spewing out from below it, and above it, mechanical arms extended out, exploring into the entrances of the surrounding abyss passages and connecting to the soul guides inside. The tremendous energy was released from the metal sphere and flowed along the mechanical arms into the soul guides in the abyss cave.

The Heart of the Blood God was the true core and foundation of the Blood God Legion. It was the Federation's only twelfth-level soul guide device and was derived from the same source as the three twelfth-level fixed-type soul guide shells. It was a gigantic energy conversion machine. Its existence meant that all of the Blood God Legion's soul guide devices did not need to worry about energy depletion.

The reason why the giant energy shield that constructed the first line of defense was able to withstand the impact of the first and second level abyss tides and be quickly rebuilt after the third level abyss tides was largely due to the Heart of the Blood God.

The activation of the Heart of the Blood God also means the beginning of the impact of the abyss tide.

"boom--"

The gray-black destructive energy attacked the blue energy shield. A large number of abyss creatures followed closely behind, rushing towards the energy shield like ants. As the impact of the destructive energy disappeared, the energy shield also dissipated immediately. Countless abyss creatures rushed towards the second line of defense frantically.

"Fire!" Ma Shan roared, but the only response he got was the continuous rumbling of cannons, gunshots and explosions.

The melee mechas in the front row emitted white light and connected to each other to form an indestructible high wall. Countless abyss creatures attacked them, but they remained like Mount Tai, standing still. The long-range mechas, soul guide cannons, and soldiers in the last row emitted red, yellow, blue, and green flames, with white smoke rising up. That was the hot smoke of gunpowder.

Soul-guided shells, soul-guided lasers, and soul-guided bullets fell on the abyss army like rain, blasting open spaces of varying sizes. These open spaces were often fleeting, because they would be filled in by more abyss creatures in the blink of an eye.

The Abyss War is so cruel.

Jing Shaoyu was very calm. This was just the beginning of the war. The main force of the Abyss Army had not yet entered the battlefield. The ones rushing to the front were just cannon fodder. Their biggest role was to impact the battle formation of the Blood God Legion and consume their ammunition and physical strength. After so many years of fighting, the tactics of the Abyss Plane were constantly upgrading. He just sat in the back, silently regulating his breathing and meditating to restore his own state. Under his feet, the three halos of crimson, azure, and emerald flashed at the same time, covering the entire Iron Blood Corps' position. The mecha warriors in the front row and the ranged warriors in the back row only felt an indescribable feeling in their bodies, which was very wonderful.

Not far in front of Jing Shaoyu were the battle armor warriors. They were all regulating their breathing and meditating, trying their best to keep themselves in peak condition so that they could better face the upcoming intense battle.

It is impossible to break through the defense line built by the mecha troops with cannon fodder alone. They are waiting for more advanced abyss creatures to come out.

As time went by, the war inevitably entered a white-hot stage. The attack of the abyss creatures was extremely fierce, but the mecha warriors did not give in. All their energy was used for defense, and the output from the back row was continuous, with amazing lethality.

The offensive of the abyss creatures was contained, but Ma Shan, the front-line commander, still looked solemn. The real test has just begun!
The earth suddenly began to tremble, and huge figures appeared in the sky, and their appearance immediately brought tremendous pressure.

These creatures are very ugly, with heads that look like dragons, bodies as fat as a hill, dark green scales all over their bodies, three short legs, a very strong upper body, a pair of particularly long arms, two sharp claws that emit strange gases, and a huge tail behind them. They have four eyes, all of which are flashing scarlet blood, and have an extremely ferocious aura.

Baan!

A leader-level abyss creature appeared. Obviously, the leader behind this abyss tide could no longer sit still, otherwise Baan, who could not fly, would not have been thrown into the air, trying to pass the mecha warriors in the front row and attack the ranged warriors in the back row.

This crude trick certainly didn't work. Violent rays flashed in the air. Baan in the air had no ability to resist and was shot into a sieve in an instant, and was pierced into air currents.

Jing Shaoyu opened his eyes. Since the other party couldn't hold it back any longer, he didn't have to endure it any longer.

Previously, he was worried that his rash actions would disrupt the deployment of the combat troops, so he had been keeping his troops in place. Now that the war has entered a white-hot stage and the other side has taken the first move, he has nothing to worry about.

There was a flash of light around him, and the four great spirits appeared. He said, "You are free to move. Hong Fei, Anya, please take care of the soldiers of the Blood God Legion."

"Yes!" The souls immediately took action. One phoenix and two unicorns rushed to the battlefield, while the other phoenix stayed beside Jing Shaoyu.

"How can you not move?" Jing Shaoyu looked at Leng Yulai and said expressionlessly.

"I want to be with you!" Leng Yulai made a pretentious and charming sound. Even in her soul form, she could not hide her seductive charm, which made Jing Shaoyu furious.

"No need," Jing Shaoyu said, a little speechless, "If you don't want to improve your cultivation, then go back."

"Hmph! What a cold-hearted little man!" Leng Yulai snorted in embarrassment and raised her phoenix head. Then a dark golden phoenix rushed into the abyss army. Dark phoenix flames erupted from its beak, instantly evaporating hundreds of abyss creatures. A considerable amount of life energy was swallowed up by the dark phoenix.

The soul-devouring ability of the Doomsday Spear is not only effective against creatures on the Douluo Continent, but also against creatures in the abyss.

It's a rare opportunity to encounter the Abyss Tide, with cannon fodder-level Abyss creatures gathering here. If we don't let the souls run wild, it would be a waste.

As the four great spirits joined the battlefield, the pressure on the front-line mecha warriors suddenly eased, and they were finally able to breathe a sigh of relief. At the same time, the battle armor warriors who had been waiting for a long time also entered the battlefield and fought with the abyss creatures.

Jing Shaoyu asked the souls to go on the field, and he himself was not idle either. He raised his hand and the Spear of Doom appeared. His figure flashed, and he appeared on the battlefield in the next second. He swept the spear across, and all the abyss creatures within a radius of ten meters were instantly wiped out.

"Brothers, His Majesty the Eternal is fighting alongside us, what do we have to fear? Follow me!" Jiang Wuyue, the commander of the first battalion of the Iron Blood Battalion, the leader of the battle armor warriors, and the second-level battle armor master, raised his arms and shouted. His body with the Tyrannosaurus Rex martial spirit expanded rapidly, and he quickly rushed into the battlefield.

The battle armor warriors followed closely behind, fighting with the increasingly powerful abyss creatures.

Jing Shaoyu was really conspicuous. Less than three minutes after joining the battlefield, he immediately attracted the attention of the higher creatures in the abyss, and they launched an attack on him.

First, a woman in black armor rushed out from the abyss passage, and landed in front of Jing Shaoyu in the blink of an eye. She released a strong black airflow from her hands, which hit Jing Shaoyu's face. Jing Shaoyu immediately put away his gun to block it, and then exerted force suddenly. The Doomsday Gun dispersed the black airflow and hit the woman in black armor, sending her flying hundreds of meters away.

The woman in black armor was extremely tall, at least three meters tall, with a very tall figure, and a curvy figure. If you ignore the black scales covering her body, she would definitely be a top beauty. She had a pair of wings on her back, with sharp bone claws at the end of the wings.

The Black Emperor is a top-level abyss creature and a lord-level creature like the Charm Emperor. The one in front of him is an adult Black Emperor, and his strength is comparable to that of a Titled Douluo at level ninety-one or two.

After being shot away by Jing Shaoyu, it flew backwards for hundreds of meters in the air before being caught by another Black Emperor. However, its breath was already extremely weak, all its bones were broken, and even the scales on its body were cracked and fell off, revealing a creepy black liquid.

It was almost impossible to survive.

"Your Majesty the Eternal is mighty!" When the warriors of the Blood God Legion saw this scene, they immediately cheered excitedly.

This is the Black Emperor. If their Iron Blood Group wants to hunt a Black Emperor, they need to make careful arrangements. Unexpectedly, Jing Shaoyu killed one with just one shot. This really boosted morale.

Jing Shaoyu took advantage of the victory and rushed towards the two Black Emperors with the Doomsday Spear in hand.

Seeing this, the Black Emperor that appeared later, without hesitation, carried the dying Black Emperor and flew towards the abyss passage. As advanced abyss creatures, their intelligence was not inferior to that of humans, so they would naturally choose to escape.

Of course Jing Shaoyu couldn't let them escape. With a flash of silver light, his figure disappeared instantly. The next second, he appeared directly in front of the Black Emperor. An orange-gold soul ring lit up behind him. A terrifying murderous aura rose from his body. The Spear of Doom turned into a blood-red spear. As Jing Shaoyu moved, it pierced the void, tangled the two Black Emperors together, and nailed them to the ground.

The murderous aura that was so thick that it almost turned into substance exploded, and hundreds or even thousands of abyss creatures around were turned into dust at the same time.

The fourth soul skill, the gun of killing!
The Black Emperors and Demonic Spirits who were watching this scene from afar felt their scalps tingling and were extremely angry.
