The Legend of the Dragon King

Along with its appearance, the black vortex doubled in size as four-clawed bats and six-clawed bats surged out from the vortex like a swarm of bees.

The main passage to the abyssal plane was the most spacious. In a split second, these abyssal creatures surged outward from the vortex resembling an oil blowout.

An illusionary silhouette appeared next to the massive black six-clawed Demon Emperor. It whispered to the Demon Emperor in a deep voice, “our mission is already accomplished. Next is up to all of you. Kill, and destroy! Take the abyssal aura to the world of humans.”

“Raaarrgggh!” The Six-clawed Demon Emperor raised its head and roared into the sky. Rings of dark red radiance burst forth from its body and tainted the four-clawed and six-clawed bats, exponentially swelling up their bodies with a bloodthirsty look in their eyes. The creatures wildly charged outward.

The soul devices located at the abyssal passage’s exit were initiating automatic fire. Streams of soul beams and soul ammunitions interweaved into a large net to attack the abyssal creatures that were charging from the inside.

The abyssal creatures were shot into pieces in succession from the wild pursuit of soul beams before they exploded into balls of airflows that were absorbed back into the passage. However, even more abyssal creatures kept wildly surging outward with shocking speed.

On the other hand, the Blood God Army’s soldiers guarding different branches of the passage had just reacted to the situation. However, their heavy weapons were placed on the inside of the sub-passages and there was utterly no time for the soldiers to retrieve them.

“Quick. Go to the outside first and guard the main exit.” Orders were dispatched as mechas shimmering with radiance charged toward the exit of abyssal passage. The mechas went out rapidly and under the cover of soul beams, formed a line of defense on the exit.

This time the appearance of the abyssal creatures was too unexpected. It was so sudden such that there was no time for preparation. Almost all the Blood God Army’s soldiers were still in joy and surprise from Tang Wulin’s double championship yet the very next moment a catastrophe suddenly dawned upon them.

“Boom…” A mecha was grabbed by a six-clawed bat from behind. The bloodthirst bat wildly tore at the mecha’s protective shield while a dozen four-clawed bats encircled the mecha.

“Long live the army!” A voice filled with rage radiated out from the mecha. In the very next moment, the mecha had already detonated its power core and exploded into a fireball which engulfed the abyssal creatures surrounding him.

Every Blood God Army’s member was aware that they would definitely not have a good end in an abyssal creature’s grasp rather they would turn into a portion of their energy. Thus, all Blood God Army’s mechas were equipped with a self-detonating device. They would never leave their life force for the enemy to devour. As soon as they were caught in a situation where the enemy was undefeatable they would detonate themselves.

One after another mecha exploded in front of the abyssal passage’s exit, but it was also due to their gallantry that more of their comrades managed to seize the opportunity to survive as they complemented the lockdown resulting from the soul beams in a defensive position.

Iron Blood Battalion commander watched helplessly as his officers were falling one after another in the passage in such baffling manners. His eyes reddened with sorrow while his heart was burning with intense flames at present.

“Hold out! hold out those b*stards for me. No matter what don’t ever let them charge out of the passage!”

No one understood why the seal that abyssal creatures were unable to break for thousands of years, was damaged just like that. There were even so many abyssal creatures that came surging out from the main passage.

This was undoubtedly the biggest abyssal tide in history. It had even rivaled the sudden arrival of the abyssal plane over six thousand years ago.

If they were incapable of guarding the abyssal passage mankind would certainly plunge into misery and sufferings. No one knew how many people would be sacrificed in the great war against the abyssal creatures.

Even though mankind’s technology was developing at a high speed with its mecha and soul weapons having far exceeded the ones in the beginning as compared to six thousand years ago. Yet, the horrors of abyssal creatures would always remain tragic and painful in the memories of people.

‘We must stop them regardless!’

Other than the ones that sacrificed themselves, all soldiers on the inside had finally retreated back to the passage’s exit. They did not leave rather they immediately launched their counterattacks on the same spot and helped replenish the line of defense positioned at the exit of the main abyssal passage.

At this moment, every Blood God Army’s soldier only had one thought in their minds, that was to stop these abyssal creatures at all costs. They spared no effort in defeating the formidable enemy so that the abyssal creatures were never allowed to cross the passage by even one step.

In such a short period of time amongst the over three thousand Blood God Army’s soldiers that were originally posted to guard inside the passage, there were already more than four hundred fallen soldiers from the process of securing the passage. This was almost equal to the sum of fallen soldiers over the past few centuries! It was an absolutely horrifying loss for the Blood God Army.

The soldiers’ eyes reddened from watching their officers that had no choice but to engage in self-detonation to stop the enemy’s attacks. The excitement that they had originally earned from the emergence of the double champion king had already turned into rage.

They devoted all their efforts to pour out their attacks and blocked the enemy’s assaults. They could only see balls of mist exploding before transforming into abyssal energy and being engulfed by the abyssal passage once again.

Human lives could not be resurrected after death. It was unimaginably difficult to cultivate a Blood God Army’s soldier, yet these abyssal creatures would turn into energy that could be recycled even after death. It would not be long before new abyssal creatures were born once again.

Even though the Blood God Army’s soldiers were well aware of this fact, they had no other choice but to devote all their efforts in resisting the enemy.

Even though their hearts were filled with even more hopelessness at this moment, they had to persist.

Six thousand years ago, almost all the most powerful combat forces from the entire continent had gathered to expel the abyssal creatures, but it was still enough to cause heavy losses to the major forces at that time. On the other hand, there were only around three thousand Blood God Army soldiers here at the moment. Were they truly capable of guarding the main passage from the abyssal creatures that suddenly appeared?

No one knew the answer but none of them refused to go all out and fight.

This was an endless battle. No one attempted to escape because they were well aware that when the abyssal passage falls, there was nowhere else they could run too.

Blood God Army’s soldiers had all personally witnessed the terror of these abyssal creatures. Thus, they were even more willing to protect their home due to this very reason. Moreover, the majority of them had their families in the Blood God Army’s barracks! Their fear would only result in destructive catastrophe to their families.

The piercing noise of warning alarm echoed through the entire Blood God Army’s barracks. With an order Troops of white figures headed in the direction of the abyssal passage.

“Requesting backup, requesting backup. A large number of abyssal creatures have surged out from main abyssal passage. In need of large-scale weapons. Backup quick, need reinforcement from destructive-rank weapons, quick! quick! quick!”

The SOS signal was already sent out earlier. The Blood God Army’s deputy commander piloted his black mecha as he suspended in the air above the edge of the abyssal plane’s exit and vigilantly observed the abyssal creatures underneath him.

There was no doubt that the line of defense positioned at the main passage’s exit was the tightest and had the most powerful attacking ability. The crossfire from the line of defense was so powerful that even the most bloodthirsty abyssal creatures had no way to charge out of the area.

However, Iron Blood Battalion commander’s expression was growing more and more unpleasant. This was because he could clearly see that the density of the abyssal creatures coming from the inside of abyssal passage was continuously increasing through the illumination of soul beams and soul cannons.

There were only four-clawed and six-clawed bats that were flying out in the beginning but right now, there were all sorts of reptilian abyssal creatures that were crawling out from the edge of the abyssal passage. Even more silhouettes of abyssal creatures that were appearing.

Some larger ones remained below and used their icy cold gaze to look up to the top. They were in no rush to charge to the outside as if they were waiting for something.

“Raaarrgggh!” A wild roar was abruptly heard from the depth of the abyssal passage. Soon after that the numerous abyssal creatures swiftly parted and revealed the appearance of the six-meter-tall six-clawed Demon Emperor being escorted by big crowds of abyssal creatures.
