Douluo: Legend of the Dragon King - The Voice of the Purple Emperor

If the abyss passage cannot be defended, the human world will be plunged into chaos, and countless humans will perish in the great war against the creatures of the abyss.

Although human technology has advanced rapidly compared to six thousand years ago, with mechs and soul-guided weapons far surpassing those of the past, the terror of the abyssal creatures remains a painful memory in history.

We must stop them no matter what!

The soldiers inside, except for those who perished in the explosion, finally all retreated to the passage exit. They did not leave but immediately launched a counterattack, reinforcing the defensive positions at the exit of the main abyss passage.

At this moment, every warrior of the Blood God Legion had only one thought in their mind: to stop these abyssal creatures at all costs, to defeat the powerful enemy at all costs, and to never let them break through the passage.

In that brief period of time, of the more than three thousand Blood God Legion warriors who were originally guarding the passage, over four hundred had perished while rushing out—almost the total number of warriors who had fallen in the past century. This was an extremely tragic price to pay for the Blood God Legion.

Seeing their comrades forced to sacrifice themselves to stop the enemy's advance, the soldiers' eyes turned red. The excitement they had felt because of the double crown had completely turned into anger.

They unleashed their full power in their attacks, blocking the enemy's advance. All that could be seen were wisps of mist transforming into abyssal energy that exploded and was then swallowed back into the abyssal passage.

Human life, once dead, cannot be resurrected. Cultivating a Blood God Warrior is no easy task, but these abyssal creatures, after their death, have their energy recovered, and before long, new abyssal creatures are born.

Despite knowing this, the warriors of the Blood God Legion were helpless; they could only do their utmost to resist.

Although, at this moment, they felt mostly despair.

Six thousand years ago, it took the combined might of almost the entire continent's strongest forces to drive the abyssal creatures back, but this had already inflicted heavy losses on all the major powers at the time. And now, they only have the Blood God Legion's tens of thousands of soldiers. Can they hold the main passage where the abyssal creatures have suddenly appeared?

Nobody knows, but nobody fails to give it their all.

This was a battle to the death, and no one tried to escape, because they all knew very well that once the Abyss Passage fell, there was no way they could escape.

The warriors of the Blood God Legion had all witnessed the horrors of the abyssal creatures firsthand, and for that very reason, they were determined to protect their homeland. Moreover, the vast majority of their families resided within the Blood God Legion's camp; their cowardice would only bring devastating disaster upon their loved ones.

The piercing alarm sounded throughout the Blood God Legion's camp, and squads of white figures moved in an orderly fashion toward the abyss passage.

"Requesting backup! Requesting backup! A massive number of abyssal creatures are pouring out of the main abyssal passage. We urgently need heavy weapon support, we need devastating weapons! Hurry, hurry, hurry!"

The distress signal had already been sent back, and the vice-captain of the Ironblood Squad was hovering at the edge of the passage entrance in his black-level mech, watching the abyssal creatures below warily.

Without a doubt, the blockade at the main exit is the most stringent and has the strongest attack power. Under the crossfire of the blockade, even those bloodthirsty abyssal creatures cannot break through directly.

However, the Ironblood Squad leader's expression grew increasingly grim, because, illuminated by the light from the soul-guided rays and soul-guided cannons, he could clearly see that the density of abyssal creatures inside the abyssal passage was constantly increasing, becoming more and more numerous.

High-level soul-guided shells cannot be fully used at this moment, because once they explode, not only will these abyssal creatures die, but their warriors will also perish.

Moreover, all these soul-guided devices are playing a vital role at this moment; once a heavy shell is fired, they will all be reduced to dust!

Even if it were truly a last resort, it could only be used as a strategic weapon as a threat, not for actual use, because abyssal creatures can resurrect, while they cannot…

At first, only four-clawed and six-clawed bats flew out of the passage. Now, various reptilian abyssal creatures are crawling out along the edge of the passage. And even more abyssal creatures are appearing.

Some of the larger creatures remained below, gazing upwards with cold eyes. None of them rushed out, clearly waiting for something.

"Awooo—!" A frenzied roar suddenly echoed from the depths of the abyss passage. Immediately afterward, the numerous abyssal creatures below quickly parted, and the six-clawed demon emperor, standing a hundred meters tall, appeared, surrounded by the many abyssal creatures.

It suddenly swung its body, and countless dark red orbs of light shot out, heading straight for the exit of the abyss passage. At the same time, behind it, a pair of huge bat wings spread out, almost two hundred meters in diameter, and with a powerful flap, it flew towards the exit of the passage.

"Overload power!" The vice-commander of the Ironblood Group said almost without hesitation, and at the same time, his heart sank.

Without a doubt, this suddenly appearing colossal creature is no ordinary abyssal being, at least not among the abyssal creatures he has faced before. This means that this terrifying being from the abyssal plane is likely a king, one of the 108 emperors of the abyssal plane, descending in his true form. This is not a projection. The strength of each king of the abyssal plane is at least comparable to that of a Super Douluo, or even greater, after all, they have physiques far exceeding those of humans.

The violent roar turned the area below into a fiery red explosion. All the light spheres released by the Six-Clawed Demon Emperor were blocked by the Soul Guiding Ray, but its massive body also crashed into the Soul Guiding Ray.

Soul-guided rays and cannonballs rained down on it, exploding into bursts of sparks that turned its body crimson, instantly suppressing its upward momentum. However, it shielded the abyssal creatures behind it from most of the attacks, and a large number of abyssal creatures surged upwards from around its body.

"High-explosive shells!" The deputy commander of the Ironblood Squad quickly gave the order.

Clusters of incandescent orbs of light exploded below, engulfing the entire abyss passage. Despite its strength, the Six-Clawed Demon Emperor could only withstand such intense barrage for a dozen seconds before it began to crumble. Its massive body plummeted, avoiding a large number of soul-guided rays and projectiles.

The vice-commander of the Ironblood Squad breathed a sigh of relief. All those years of planning hadn't been in vain; this blockade was specifically designed for demigods… (End of Chapter)
