Douluo: Dragon King's Divine Elegy

Chapter 233 From today onwards, the roles of offense and defense have reversed!
"Wish you a safe journey."

The following morning, at the foot of the mountain, in front of a giant cave with a diameter of over three thousand meters, the Black Feather Squad of ten gathered together. After being checked and their identities were confirmed by the soldiers on the outermost defensive line, they were given some instructions and then granted the right to enter the abyss passage.

"The Blood God is Eternal!"

Kuroba led the team in a collective military salute.

"The Blood God is Eternal".

The soldiers at the checkpoint returned the salute.

"Set off."

At Hei Yu's command, the group quickly headed into the cave, sliding down a slope over a thousand meters long. Passing several soul-guided weapon positions, they landed on a brightly lit, open plain.

There were many fully armed soldiers stationed around the flat ground, and you could even see ten black-level mechs parked on one side, equipped with soul-guided weapons, all of which were the kind that could cause wide-area damage.

These weapons are rarely issued to regular mech pilots, as the consumption is simply too high, but they are quite suitable for places where large-scale battles can break out at any time.

Outside the warning line on the flat ground, six Soul Light Towers exuded a terrifying aura of soul power, and the special cannon muzzles were aimed at a cave that resembled an abyss.

At that moment, the other patrol teams jumped off the cliff.

Kuroba's eyes flickered slightly, and he decisively led his team to jump down as well.

A special force allows people to suspend themselves in mid-air until they land on a giant woven net. Looking down, there is an incredibly deep void, almost bottomless. Even light cannot penetrate more than fifteen meters before being swallowed by darkness, which is quite eerie.

Below the woven net lies the original main passage of the abyss, where the Abyss Emperor habitually preferred to break through. However, after the Blood God Array appeared, the abyss passage at the bottom of this void was completely sealed.

As time passed, the main abyss passage moved to another location, making it extremely difficult for the Abyss King to emerge. However, powerful abyss creatures attached to the King could appear.

Starting from the weaving net, looking ahead, there are several extremely spacious passageways, with soul-guided lamps providing illumination on the walls, and the faint humming sound of soul-guided defense arrays operating from the depths of the passageways can be heard.

The passageway contains very spacious nodes, which humans have used to build safe zones, serving as the first line of defense against invasions by abyssal creatures.

The group moved forward quickly, and after going about a kilometer deeper, they arrived at the medium-sized safe zone that guarded the thirty-sixth level of the abyss passage. This area was like a dam, blocking the key position where the creatures from the thirty-sixth level of the abyss came from underground to the surface.

If you leave the safe zone, you will encounter hundreds of branching abyssal passages, some wide and some narrow. The narrower the passage, the weaker the abyssal creatures inside. These hundreds of complex branching passages connect three different levels of abyssal passages.

Leaving the safe zone and venturing deeper will lead to a true encounter with abyssal creatures.

Generally speaking, the upper safe zone of the main abyss passage on the 36th floor is usually the least busy, because it is only during the level 3 abyss tide that occurs once every twenty years or so that it becomes extremely busy.

The passageways outside the medium and low-level safety zones are fraught with danger.

With the help of the badges, the group successfully left the medium-sized safe zone.

The air suddenly became murky, and faint, eerie roars and fluctuations of soul power could be heard from the branching passageways.

The Black Feather Squad disappeared into the darkness in no time.

Along the way, they encountered several patrol teams hunting abyssal creatures, but they did not attract the attention of any outsiders. They continued to move deeper into the abyss. Strangely, some narrow branches were hiding abyssal creatures. They saw them but did not launch a surprise attack, letting the group leave.

After advancing for nearly eight kilometers, they came to a deserted node in complete silence. The surrounding walls clearly exhibited a unique energy fluctuation, unlike solid rock or soil.

Discovering this situation means that the team has entered the spatial juncture between the Douluo Plane and the Abyss Plane. Not far ahead, they will truly step into the Abyss Plane.

Hei Yu struck out with his palm, and a strange, purplish-red soul power suddenly surged out, like sticky spider silk, covering the entrance to the tunnel.

Having done this, Hei Yu said to his subordinates in a deep voice, "With the help of the Abyss Demon Runes, the Abyss creatures will not attack you. Stay here and wait for me to return. If anyone comes, if you can kill them, cooperate with the Abyss creatures to act immediately. If you can't kill them, don't make any rash moves."

"As ordered."

The other nine Evil Douluos spoke in unison.

With a flash, a pair of jet-black wings unfurled from her back, their edges still clinging to thick, dark soul light. With a whoosh, she plunged straight into the deeper depths.

The soul light on the wings streaked across the sky like shooting stars, illuminating countless terrifying figures. These were abyssal monsters hidden in the darkness, motionless, and their number probably exceeded a thousand.

After flying less than 500 meters, Black Feather crashed into a hazy, gray light. Her body was immediately enveloped by the gushing gray light, and she disappeared into the tunnel in the next moment.

call out.

The light scattered, and Hei Yu raised his head to look into the distance.

The sky was gloomy and gray, devoid of starlight and the alternation of sun and moon, filled only with an extremely oppressive atmosphere of despair, with countless gray currents raging across the land like tornadoes.

boom! ! !
Suddenly, the space in front of Black Feather shattered with a deafening roar, and an overwhelming pressure swept down.

From within the shattered space, a gray eye gazed over indifferently and profoundly.

Sensing the aura that could easily kill him, Hei Yu's pupils shrank, and he hurriedly said, "I am the one from the Holy Spirit Cult negotiating with you. I beg the Lord of the Abyss to investigate."

The gray currents converged and transformed into an indistinct figure, a deep voice resounding from all directions: "You were able to enter the abyss, so the restrictions imposed by the Blood God Legion must have been lifted."

Black Feather, suppressing the cold sweat that soaked his body, bowed respectfully and said, "Lord of the Abyss, you are right. Only with the restrictions lifted could I come to meet you. According to the plan, once you are ready, I will immediately lead people to destroy the Blood God Seal that seals the main passage."

"Very good." The Abyss Saint King spoke the words of Heaven's Law, causing the heavens and earth to distort, and the gray tornado that was ravaging the earth to freeze on the spot.

Hei Yu felt his scalp tingle as he watched, thinking that even a Limit Douluo probably couldn't do this.
He truly lives up to his reputation as a legendary god-level powerhouse.

The Abyss Saint King said calmly, "You can go and break the Blood God's seal now. When the demonic runes on your body start to sting, it means the sublimation plan has begun. Remember, do not let those Blood Gods repair the Blood God's formation. If this battle goes smoothly, I will be able to take the initiative and continuously attract human powerhouses. Your Holy Spirit Cult can also collect life resources without any scruples in front of my main body when I descend to the Douluo level. This is a win-win situation and can be considered as the reward I promised you."

Black Feather replied excitedly, "Yes, Your Majesty. By the way, there is something else I need to report to you."

"explain."

The Abyss Saint King glanced at her.

Hei Yu said, "That human who can absorb abyssal energy has also come to the Blood God Legion."

"Heh, you really have barged into the gates of hell." The Abyss Saint King sneered repeatedly, his right palm clasped together, and a ball of gray energy condensed, transforming into a special bead.

"This is the Boundary-Stabilizing Bead. Use it on that human at a critical moment, centered on the Abyss Passage. Unless he can unleash god-level power to break through it, he will be trapped within a 200-mile radius, making it easier to kill him later."

Hei Yu hurriedly took the gray bead, which transformed into a wisp of air that flowed into the magic runes on her body.

"Then I shall take my leave." Hei Yu said respectfully.

The Holy Lord of the Abyss nodded and remained silent.

Black Feather's figure flashed, transforming into a stream of light and flying towards the spatial junction. After a final flicker, it disappeared.

The Abyss Saint King said indifferently, "Obey my command!"

These two simple words resounded throughout the 107th level of the abyss, causing every abyss emperor to respectfully prostrate themselves, accepting the commands of the supreme monarch.

As if they knew what was about to happen, all the Abyss Emperors couldn't help but feel a burning desire in their eyes.

...

"To Your Excellency."

As soon as Kuroba returned to the tunnel, a group of people quickly surrounded her.

Hei Yu's status in the Holy Spirit Cult was not that of a Heavenly King, but rather that of a worshipper of equal rank. She sneered, "The matter has been settled. We just need to proceed according to the established plan."

Upon hearing this, the evil spirit masters became excited.

"Let's act without delay," Kuroba said indifferently.

"Yes," the crowd responded.

The main passage connecting the thirty-sixth level of the abyss was covered by a hazy, blood-red light, and this passage was also the most spacious.

The Blood God Seal contains an astonishing power of laws, but it only has a suppressive or even annihilating effect on abyssal creatures; it has no lethality to humans.

"Do it."

In the group, Xie Douluo, who was skilled in soul tools, blocked the sensing soul tools placed around the passage, and Hei Yu gave an order.

The ten people acted quickly, driving one demonic nail after another, engraved with strange dark patterns, into the Blood God Array.

Once the ten magic nails were successfully driven in, a series of slight dark green ripples quietly appeared, revealing tiny cracks on the surface of the seal. However, these cracks were extremely difficult to detect without careful inspection.

"withdraw."

Having accomplished all this, the moment the soul-guided device was restored, everyone orderly completed their evacuation.

...

The fierce, knife-like wind and snow swept through.

Throughout the vast military camp, soldiers stared wide-eyed at the soul guidance screens, watching a special team of soul masters enter the underground world.

The team included the renowned Blood Master Commander Xu Weitao, as well as Blood God Battalion members Blood Fourth and Blood Seven.

But all eyes were on the young man at the head of the group.

The Abyss is the nightmare that has plagued this legion for thousands of years. Killing it allows for resurrection, making it impossible for humanity to eradicate it.

But this powerless era is about to end.

It was all because of this handsome young man.

Nan Liujing hummed a little tune, showing no sign of nervousness. Xu Weitao couldn't help but glance at him again, while Xue Si and Xue Qi, who were responsible for carrying the live broadcast equipment, watched the youngest spirit messenger with great interest.

To boost morale, Zhang Huanyun came up with a novel idea: to host a live stream that comprehensively promoted Nan Liujing's hunting of abyssal creatures and the scene of him taking away their energy source.

Under the watchful eyes of over 20,000 Blood God Legion soldiers watching the live stream, the group left the safe zone and soon arrived at the location where Soul Saint-level Abyss creatures frequently spawn.

This place is usually only accessible to elite patrol teams; ordinary soldiers have never seen anything like it.

At first glance, if it weren't for the soul flashlights on their bodies cutting through the darkness, one would probably not be able to see their own hand in front of their face.

call out.

Suddenly, a blurry figure slashed towards Nan Liujing's head like a ghost. Many people's pupils shrank, as if a ghost had suddenly appeared in front of them in a horror movie, causing their adrenaline to surge.

Even faster than the afterimage was Nan Liujing's left hand.

Dark blue lightning burst forth in his palm, instantly dispelling the darkness in the tunnel.

This startled everyone watching the live stream, as at least a hundred various infamous abyssal creatures appeared in their field of vision.

"Roar."

A roar rang out, and everyone noticed that Nan Liujing's left hand was gripping the head of a mantis-like monster, and his arms were shaped like crescent blades, gleaming with a cold, eerie light.

"It's the Scythe Demon."

Immediately, a soldier from an elite patrol team recognized him, his expression serious, but as soon as he finished speaking, his expression froze.

boom.

A crisp cracking sound rang out, and the scythe demon, which was comparable to a human soul saint, had its head crushed by five fingers like a chick. The gray-black abyssal energy had not yet escaped and was visibly merged into Nan Liujing's palm.

"Crackling!!!"

The lightning arc around Nan Liujing exploded, and before the abyss monsters in the tunnel could attack, the lightning arc suddenly exploded, and countless electric currents intertwined, piercing through the foreheads of all the monsters in the blink of an eye.

"Continue to go."

In the blink of an eye, he instantly killed hundreds of abyss monsters. Nan Liujing remained calm and continued to walk deeper into the abyss. Lightning tore through the darkness around him, outlining ferocious silhouettes.

Xu Weitao and the two Blood Gods exchanged a glance and decisively followed suit.

Walking through the passageways, there was no need for soul energy flashlights anymore. Under the astonished gazes of all the spectators, any abyssal creature that appeared in the frame didn't even have time to roar before the ferocious arcs of lightning pounced on it like wolves smelling blood.

Therefore, the scene that appeared before everyone's eyes was as follows.

A monster appeared, the monster was struck by lightning, and its primordial energy was absorbed.

Finally, after traveling for a while, the four of them stopped at a spacious point.

There are more than twelve passageways to walk through in all directions.

Nan Liujing stopped and looked around. "There are too many passageways. Let's stop here."

Xu Weitao said, "We're still at least four kilometers away from the deepest part of the tunnel. Should we go back?"

Nan Liujing didn't speak, but a slight smile appeared at the corner of his mouth. His dark blue eyes were like thunderclouds and storms brewing. He made a grabbing motion in the air, and the lightning arcs surrounding him quickly coalesced into a ball of lightning.

With another downward press, the thunderball suddenly shattered, and lightning power, like a liquid tsunami, poured directly into every tunnel.

The ear-piercing flashes of lightning tore through the darkness of the tunnel, searching for every monster hiding in the shadows. Then, everyone saw the endless stream of gray-black abyssal energy flying in, its density far exceeding that of a hundred or a thousand monsters.

Five minutes later, Nan Liujing flicked his fingers, a faint arc of electricity dancing across them, and said, "The monsters in the tunnel are all gone for now. Would the three of you like to go take a look?"

Upon hearing this, Xu Weitao, Xue Si, and Xue Qi looked serious and decisively took their live-streaming equipment and flew towards the depths of the tunnel.

They were all at the ninth level of cultivation, and their speed was incredibly fast.

What the audience saw was a scene of hundreds of empty passageways. Some passageways, which were even known as monster-hunting hotspots, were completely empty when Xu Weitao arrived, even with his soul power blazing.

"It's...it's all been cleaned up?"

For the first time in nearly twenty years since Xu Weitao became the Blood Master Commander, a look of utter bewilderment appeared on his face.

On the other side, Blood Four and Blood Seven stared in astonishment at the abyss passage that had been 'cleaned'.

You should know that, according to the Blood God Legion's estimates over the past thousand years, the number of abyss monsters that regularly stay in the abyss passage is at least 30,000. And they were all killed in just a few minutes?
Return to the node.

All three of them had their live-streaming equipment pointed at Nan Liujing.

Nan Liujing's face was cold and stern, and his voice reached the ears of every Blood God Legion soldier: "From today onwards, the roles of offense and defense have been reversed!"

The biting wind outside was still blowing across the land.

After a brief silence, in an instant, the military camp built on the desolate land erupted in unparalleled cheers, almost shattering the ice and snow.

Countless soldiers embraced each other, thrilled that their generation had finally witnessed the hope that had lasted for thousands of years.

The countless martyrs who died will finally be able to avenge themselves!
