Douluo: Dragon King's Divine Elegy

Chapter 234 The Martial Soul True Body, as powerful as the laws of heaven and earth, slays the Abyss King in succession!
The setting sun, as if stained with blood, slowly sank beneath the endless, jagged mountains of the mountain range.

Huge soul-guided shields supported the open space of the Blood God Legion's camp, preventing the howling, biting wind and snow from penetrating inside.

In the center of the open space, a huge bonfire burned brightly, its flames spewing out as if roaring at the monsters of the abyss. Sparks spun back into the sky, as if to comfort the soldiers who had sacrificed themselves over the millennia, for the thing they had longed for had finally come to pass.

The heat was intense, and the air was filled with the aroma of grilled meat and fine wine.

The warriors stationed in the Blood God Legion, who had been cut off from the outside world for many years, finally saw a future free from heavy pressure. People enjoyed delicious food and wine to their heart's content, and some soldiers mustered up the courage to ask female soldiers they liked to dance together.

Amidst countless laughs, couples danced together, their steps clumsy yet resolute.

Through the glass window, Zhang Huanyun had a clear view of the open space, a smile playing on her lips.

The huge office was also filled with several high-ranking members of the Blood God Legion.

Ruthless Douluo Cao Dezhi, Deputy Legion Commander Long Tianwu, and others.

Nan Liujing held a crystal glass in his hand, the green-gold liquid inside stirring as he shook it: "Don't worry, everyone. If you drink the wine or juice infused with the soul-storing seed, even after death, your soul will be taken away by the seed and return to the Golden Ancient Tree. They will be resurrected when the gods are born in the future."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Huanyun turned his head and said in a deep voice, "To be honest, if you hadn't said that people could be resurrected after death, I wouldn't be able to calm down thinking about how many soldiers would be killed or injured because of our plan."

After the daytime live stream ended.

As the legion commander, he immediately announced that a bonfire banquet would be held that night. The banquet was ostensibly to celebrate Nan Liujing's arrival, but in reality, a special drink was arranged for every soldier of the Blood God Legion.

Long ago, Nan Liujing had considered that if the legion's high command, led by Zhang Huanyun, deliberately created a weakness and made a command error, causing the Abyss to think that an opportunity had come and launch a large-scale attack on the Douluo plane, the Blood God Legion would inevitably suffer a high number of casualties after several waves of attacks.

These people cannot die in vain, so Nan Liujing discussed this matter with Jin Lao in advance and finally decided to use A Yin's ability, combined with the Golden Ancient Tree's ability to protect souls, to develop the so-called Soul Storage Seed.

Even if the Blood God Legion suffers thousands or tens of thousands of casualties after several waves of attacks, they can be resurrected in the future.

In this way, these soldiers who fought hard will not die in battle easily.

Nan Liujing downed his drink in one gulp, stood up and said, "The seal of the Blood God Array is beginning to loosen."

Upon hearing this, the expressions of the group of high-ranking officials all changed.

Cao Dezhi said in a deep voice, "It seems the Abyss is much more urgent than we imagined."

Nan Liujing laughed and said, "Those few lurking evil soul masters went to the Abyss Plane and most likely revealed that I appeared in the Blood God Legion. In addition, I wiped out tens of thousands of Abyss creatures in one fell swoop during the day. It's hard for the Abyss experts to resist the urge to kill me."

After saying that, Nan Liujing strode out of the office. "I predict that the battle will break out around midnight. Everyone, get ready!"

boom.

The door closed softly.

A cold glint appeared in Zhang Huanyun's eyes: "We've suffered setbacks for thousands of years. Tonight, it's time to teach the Abyss a lesson."

No one answered; their eyes were all cold and icy.

...

As night deepened, it seemed that only a few lights used for illumination within the Blood God Legion remained lit in the world.

The biting wind and snow once again took over the open space.

Inside the camp, people fell asleep with hopes for the future, while inside and outside the cave, the soldiers on guard were full of energy.

No one noticed that in the abyss main passage that had not been broken for a long time, the magic nails suddenly lit up with a dazzling purplish-black light. The next moment, as if under some kind of control, they pierced fiercely into the interior of the seal.

Click.

A crisp cracking sound rang out, and countless spiderweb-like cracks began to appear on the blood-red light.

Silently, wisps of black energy emerged from the crack, swirling and expanding ever larger.

Within that deep black vortex, a pitch-black hand quickly emerged. With a flick of its five fingers, the surrounding space trembled violently, and then the Blood God Seal was shattered, creating a huge hole.

"Roar!"

A hole with a diameter of over one hundred meters appeared, and in an instant, countless abyssal creatures surged out of the hole like a geyser. Among the monsters of various sizes, a phantom black shadow materialized beside the ear of the Six-Clawed Demon Emperor, who was in charge of the vanguard.

It was none other than the Black Emperor, ranked ninth in the Abyss. However, at that time, the Blood God's seal had not been completely broken, and the suppression of the plane's laws was still immense, so she could only project herself over.

The Black Emperor's gaze fell upon the densely packed abyssal monsters beneath her feet. She chanted intricate incantations and then raised her hands in a lifting motion.

One after another, enormous vortex gates slowly rose up.

A cold smile appeared on the Black Emperor's pale and exquisitely beautiful face: "Kill them! For the sake of the Holy Lord, slaughter all these humans!"

"Roar!"

The endless roars echoed through the crowded passageway as the monsters rushed into the vortex gate. When they reappeared, they bypassed the safe zones that humans had placed within the passageway nodes and flew directly out from the original passageway beneath the woven net, which had been sealed for thousands of years.

The abyssal currents propelled the monsters, which resembled a swarm of locusts, out of the cave. The incredibly dense abyssal aura instantly triggered an alarm.

"Drip drip..."

The piercing alarm and the constantly flashing red warning lights quickly alerted the Blood God Legion's Ironblood Regiment soldiers stationed on the plain. When they saw the overwhelming horde of monsters, everyone's eyelids trembled involuntarily.

"Om~"

Once the soldiers were fully armed and in position, the six Soul Light Towers launched their preemptive attack. Streams of compressed soul light burst forth, melting metal and stone like sunlight. Any abyssal monster that even the slightest bit touched by them would be pierced through in a chain.

Within just a breath or two, the exit of the abyss passage had completely transformed into a death zone.

The automated soul-guided weapons deployed throughout the defense line were at full power, emitting a deadly brilliance. Like a torrent of light bursting its banks, they tore through the air, weaving a net of reaping without any blind spots, and completely swallowing the surging abyssal creatures.

"Quickly, send the highest alert to the base!"

"The leader of the Ironblood Regiment, Ma Shan, an eight-ring three-word battle armor master, roared at Jiang Wuyue, the captain of the Ironblood Battalion."

Jiang Wuyue dared not delay and decisively pressed the highest alarm button.

Inside the Blood God Legion base, bathed in wind and snow, a blinding red light suddenly burst forth, accompanied by a resounding thud like war drums, and all the soldiers who were in their dreams were awakened.

He glanced out the window and his expression changed drastically.

The blood-red warning light is the highest alert, meaning that the abyss monsters have reached the flat ground defense line below the cavern.

That would mean that all the comrades in the safe zone... No one dared to think about it, but the anger in their hearts was ignited.

"Hurry up!"

The entire Blood God Legion was like a war machine that had been activated, with every soldier looking fierce as they headed towards the flat ground to provide support.

The fierce battle continues, but technological advancements have greatly reduced the pressure on the Blood God Legion soldiers.

The abyss monsters didn't even get within 500 meters of the defense line before they were torn to shreds.

However, the black currents that the monster transformed into after its death did not return to the Abyss Plane. Instead, they continued to merge into the vortex gate on the surface of the original passage, just like a nourishing tonic. Visibly, the vortex gate continued to expand and become more and more solid.

Inside the abyss passage, the Black Emperor closed his eyes, as if waiting for someone.

Beneath her feet appeared another Abyss King, none other than the Ant Queen, ranked seventy-sixth.

"Here it comes!" Suddenly, the Black Emperor opened his eyes, his gaze icy cold.

Through the eyes of a torn abyssal monster, she saw a tall, slender figure, surrounded by thunder, plunge into the abyssal army, attempting to absorb abyssal energy.

"Go."

Upon hearing this, the Six-Clawed Demon Emperor and the Ant Emperor exchanged a glance.

They need to risk their lives to see if this human who can devour abyssal energy has gained the approval of the Douluo plane or obtained some kind of divine inheritance, because only in this way is it possible for abyssal energy to be devoured.

If so, then the Holy Lord will sacrifice the lives of ten Abyss Kings to forcibly open the primordial passage, allowing more Abyss Kings to fight their way out.

They might die from this, but as long as they can devour the Douluo Continent, they will be great contributors in the future, not only able to be resurrected but also able to rise several levels higher.

At the same time, under the watchful eyes of thousands of Blood God Legion soldiers, Nan Liujing, dressed in the silver-white three-word battle armor 'God's Sorrow', descended upon the earth like a thunder god, showering down thunder and rain.

The dark blue lightning was more explosive than the compressed soul light rays emitted by the Soul Light Tower. When it hit the ground, it quickly formed a sea of ​​lightning that abyssal creatures could never climb. The abyssal monsters that rushed into it were instantly melted and blasted into dust. The black air currents that broke apart were also quickly taken away and returned to the body of the majestic figure who stood under the aura of the battle armor domain and looked down at the ground.

People stared wide-eyed at this scene, which was even more impactful than a live broadcast.

"call out!"

Suddenly, a stream of viscous liquid shot out from the bottom of the cave, spreading a nauseating stench along its path.

Nan Liujing seemed unaware, but the aura of the battle armor beneath his feet emitted a blinding light, and a huge thunderous hand rose from the sea of ​​lightning on the ground, directly grabbing the viscous liquid that resembled a beam of light.

The explosive and pure lightning element was compressed and annihilated by the corrosive poison that was enough to melt the defenses of a low-grade three-word battle armor.

"I don't need your help for now; I'll kill the two Abyss Kings from the lower 36 levels later."

Nan Liujing raised his hand to stop several Blood Gods who had arrived at the scene from coming to provide support.

"Insanity!"

A deep, angry roar rose from below the cave, and soon, two enormous figures appeared before the eyes of the thousands of Blood God Legion soldiers.

A colossal beast with six claws, standing a hundred meters tall, its body covered in a dark keratinous layer, with a dark red, viscous liquid flowing down its back like magma.

Its entire body was covered with dark purple magic patterns. It had eight claws, shaped like ants, and was tens of meters long. Its body was divided into three sections. Its head was round and huge, with its mouth splitting open to the sides, revealing two gleaming fangs. There were two tentacles on its head, each tens of meters long, swaying gently. Inside its mouthparts, it was secreting some kind of corrosive liquid.

It was clearly launched by it.

The army of abyssal monsters that was still pouring out temporarily ceased its movement.

Nan Liujing looked at the two Abyss Kings and sneered, "The ninety-seventh level Abyss King is the Six-Clawed Demon Emperor. The seventy-sixth level Abyss King is the Ant Emperor. Without an Abyss Emperor from the thirty-sixth level to back you up, are you rushing up here to your deaths?"

The Six-Clawed Demon Emperor wasn't very bright and instinctively prepared to start swearing.

The Ant King, however, remained calm. His murky beastly eyes locked onto Nan Liujing, and he said in a sinister tone, "If those kings come, you won't even have time to cry."

“But they can’t come,” Nan Liujing sneered. “The suppression of the plane’s laws is something they can’t withstand. So what if it’s a projection? Do they really think they can break through the defenses with a projection that only has a third of the original’s strength?”

"Although I don't know how you two broke the Blood God's seal and allowed your true forms to descend, it doesn't matter. I'll kill you two today, and when my strength increases to a sufficient level, I'll go to the Abyss Plane and kill the other emperors."

"Humph."

The Six-Clawed Demon Emperor snorted angrily, spreading its wings that blotted out the sky on its back. Cold abyssal energy pulsed on its diaphragm. With a flap, it pounced straight at Nan Liujing. Its six claws, each a hundred meters long, dragged along a chilling current of air that could freeze the soul.

On the ground, the ant queen did not delay either. A viscous, glue-like liquid condensed in her mouthparts and she spat it out like a cannonball. The space was corroded and collapsed, revealing a deep void.

Compared to the Six-Clawed Demon Emperor, Nan Liujing was far too small, as small as a speck of dust.

"null--"

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Nan Liujing radiated a platinum-gold light, and eight spirit rings, four purple-gold and four platinum, rose from his feet, with the seventh spirit ring activating fiercely.

In a flash, the body covered by the battle armor suddenly swelled up, as if it had activated the Law of Heaven and Earth, and its whole body was illusory silver-white, with the laws of space and time rippling and pulsating with materialized secret patterns.

"Certainly!"

Nanliujingkou contains the imperial constitution.

A silvery-white light containing the power of two laws surged out from within his body, directly filling every part of the cave.

The six-clawed demon emperor's eight compound eyes suddenly froze, not only because it saw Nan Liujing's size and appearance grow larger than its own, but also because it felt a strange, binding force enveloping its body.

The invisible force of time flowed swiftly within the silvery light, and the abyssal energy within the Six-Clawed Demon Emperor also vanished rapidly and meaninglessly. Space confined its movements, making it resemble a sculpture.

The next moment, an enormous, silvery-white hand of time silently landed on its head.

"boom--"

With a deafening explosion, the Six-Clawed Demon Emperor's eyes bulged out, and his head was crushed on the spot. Endless silver-white light splashed out from the crack, and then his body was shattered into billions of dust. The extremely deep dark red abyss energy was visibly taken away.

The explosive plasma spewed from the underground sea of ​​lightning, once again melting the formic acid, which contained corrosive and highly toxic substances.

"Oh, I almost forgot about you!"

Nan Liujing looked down and saw that enormous figure overlooking the ground, exuding an overwhelming sense of oppression.

The Ant King's pupils shrank, and he immediately wanted to jump back into the vortex gate.

"Certainly!"

As soon as the Ant King jumped into the air under the watchful eyes of countless people, his body was immediately enveloped in a silvery-white light, and he was forcibly frozen in mid-air.

"broken!"

High in the sky, a finger pressed down, the fingerprint clearly visible, pulsating with a strange and profound meaning of time and space.

As the index finger touched the Ant King's massive body, the profound meaning of spacetime instantly shattered its body. With a loud bang, the Ant King was directly crushed. Its keratin layer, which was incredibly sturdy enough to withstand an eighth-level fixed-position soul-guided cannon shell, was as thin as paper. Its internal organs, formed from abyssal energy, were instantly annihilated by the erosion of spacetime.

As the index finger touched the ground, a terrifying shockwave rippled out. The countless abyssal creatures that had been suspended above the cave were scattered like dust by a single blow, turning into a torrent of energy that returned to the giant of time and space!

"It's...resolved?"

Inside the defensive line, thousands, and even more, soldiers who were constantly arriving to provide support, numbering nearly ten thousand, all stared wide-eyed in astonishment.

Absorbing the abyssal energy from the demise of the Ant King from afar, Nan Liujing's voice fell: "I will oversee things. Please check the Blood God Seal."

Shhhhhh.

Several Blood Gods from the Blood God Camp acted swiftly.

Inside the defensive line, several lotus-shaped halos rose up, and five Blood Gods sat cross-legged on them, pretending to inspect the Blood God Seal.

The soldiers on site were not calm or celebrating; they were waiting for a reply from their comrades in the safe zone.

Nan Liujing stood at the edge of the cave entrance, his piercing gaze fixed on the vortex gate.

"Not coming yet?"
