Its eight claws exerted strength continuously, trying to pull itself out from the abyssal passage with great effort as if there was a tremendous suction force behind it.

It raised its head to glance at the Six-clawed Demon Emperor that was suspended in midair and used its enormous body to conceal the situation below. The giant ant-like abyssal creature moved in a flash and laid supine against the wall in the abyssal passage. The tip of its enormous head suddenly turned into a spiral form as it rammed the side wall of the passage. Its spiral-form head was surprisingly spinning at high speed.

"Clang!" A piercing sound was heard.

In the next instant, light ripples spread outward across the surface of the passage, illuminating the seal at the bottom of the passage.

The gigantic ant's massive body was blasted away. It swayed its head, appearing dizzy before it spoke in a human voice, "Still not working. The seal set down by mankind back in the beginning is truly troublesome. Even I, the emperor in my real body, can't break it. It seems like I can only charge my way out from the passage's exit."

The Six-clawed Demon Emperor was ranked the ninety-seventh amongst the one hundred and eight abyssal kings, while the Ant Emperor was ranked the seventy-sixth.

The Ant Emperor, which was working in tandem with the Six-clawed Demon Emperor, was not in a rush to launch an attack. It laid quietly against the wall as it waited.

As the vanguard, their main purpose was to gain more time so that the ordinary abyssal creatures which had died in battle could be converted into abyssal energy. They would utilize the abyssal energy to expand the abyssal passage such that more abyssal kings could come. They needed to accomplish the task to triumph over humankind.

It was only him and the Six-clawed Demon Emperor at the moment. Their combined strengths were rather weak. However, with the expansion of the passage, increasing numbers of the ordinary abyssal creatures were surging out wildly. The expanded passage would allow even more kings to appear.

On the other hand, the Blood God Army was completely unaware of their plan as they watched the abyssal creatures meet their doom and explode into balls of mist unceasingly.

"Anything on the radar?" Zhang Huanyun asked the investigation department of the Blood God Army which was equipped with all sorts of sensitive detectors.

"We detect a large number of abyssal creatures surging out from below right now. I think there's a creature that rivals the huge critter down there, but due to the high intensity of the abyssal energy fluctuation, our detectors can't explore deeper to investigate the details."

"Hmm, continue the monitoring."

Zhang Huanyun swayed his body once and he was already next to Blood One.

The Heartless Douluo Cao Dezhi stood up and nodded gently toward him.

Zhang Huanyun spoke softly, "I'll be working with you all. However, won't we be alerting the enemy by doing so?"

Cao Dezhi smiled calmly. "It's not an issue of alerting the enemy, but our effort in destroying the abyssal kings will truly weaken the abyssal plane's power. We'll begin here then. We can't really foresee the events in the abyssal passage, so we shall retreat immediately after the first strike. Pull out the huge creature first. I'll be in charge of the control while you'll be in charge of the conversion."

"Alright." Zhang Huanyun nodded. In a flash, he had returned to his position above the abyssal passage once again.

"Throw in the highly-explosive bombs at high intensity. Three hundred times per minute. Release!"

Balls of incandescent radiance were shot from the circular muzzle rapidly. More than three hundred of the glowing white light spheres were shot within a minute.

A tiny metallic ball was inside every light sphere. The metallic ball would explode with a loud bang when the incandescent light had swelled up to its maximum.

The highly-explosive bomb was different from the fixed soul ammunition for its inability to shoot long-range, but it was capable of producing a chain explosive effect and most suitable for a focused attack within a short range. It was even more effective than the fixed soul ammunition under such circumstances.

The soul device was a single-use consumable which was highly effective in dealing with the abyssal creatures.

Three hundred highly-explosive bombs exploded with loud bangs. It turned the abyssal passage incandescent at once. The pervasive white radiance covered the entire passage with a large number of the abyssal creatures blasted to smithereens. The abyssal aura dispersed in all directions from the explosion.

The abyssal creatures in the abyssal passage vanished into nothingness soon after.

At the same time, Zhang Huanyun hurriedly despatched a series of orders which made the blockade at the cave entrance pause for a moment. A moon-like mirror appeared behind Zhang Huanyun's back concealed by the incandescent radiance from the explosion below.

The mirror was only half a meter in diameter when it first appeared. However, with the three soul rings on Zhang Huanyun's body shining in succession, it rose in the face of the storm and was over fifty meters in the twinkling of an eye.

There were coils of decorative, dragon patterns on the enlarged mirror. These decorative patterns seemed to come alive at present.

An intense energy fluctuation began to appear on the surface of this mirror. It was precisely at this moment when a figure submerged into the abyssal passage silently. In a flash, he vanished without a trace.

The Six-clawed Demon Emperor's six arms were blocked above its head during the bomb explosion. It had no empathy for its dying clansmen. The more fatalities there were, the bigger the opening of the abyssal passage which would allow more clansmen and kings to come in. It anticipated that mankind would be spending more energy to kill these creatures.

Naturally, it did not wish to be killed because a dead king would require a long time to recover. The king could be challenged by the other powerful clansmen, and it might even lose its position as the king.

Each level of the abyssal plane was dominated by a king. The king held the core which bestowed it with supernatural abilities and its position. In the event the king's true body suffered death, the core would take its energy and return it to the abyssal plane. The process of resurrection required time. If it happens that another clansman found and seized the abyssal core, the king would then lose its consciousness. In this case, its energy would be devoured by the new king.

Thus, an ordinary abyssal creature was not emotionally burdened in death, but the abyssal kings, on the other hand, were afraid to die lest their clansmen took over their positions.

Just as the Six-clawed Demon Emperor moved its six arms, it sensed a change in its surrounding temperature. In terms of mankind's language, it would be described as 'cold'!

Suddenly, it sensed that the space surrounding its body had changed. The center of the space, where the body was, seemed to be split. There were obviously many abyssal creatures in its surroundings, yet, it felt as if they were absent at the moment. It appeared to be isolated in a square space that was eerily silent in which no sound could be transmitted.

'What's going on? What's happening?'

The six-clawed Demon Emperor was startled. As a king, it possessed intelligence that was no less inferior than mankind, so it could immediately sense that something was not right. Yet, it was already too late even if it wished to struggle free now.

Four giant swords isolated the surrounding space and silently trapped it. A bright radiance descended from the sky and illuminated its body. In the next moment, the Six-clawed Demon Emperor was instantly converted into a stream of white light before it disappeared into thin air as if it had ascended into the heavens.

The enormous figure as tall as a hundred meters did not even leave behind a trace.

The Ant Emperor coldly watched the event unfold from the above. It paid no attention to this as it was not a huge explosion.

Yet, it was at this moment when it was astonished to find four ancient-looking giant swords appearing out of thin air. These four giant swords sliced through the space easily. It appeared that the Six-clawed Demon Emperor was wrapped in a container. The Demon Emperor could hardly resist, and in the next instant, it was absorbed into a stream of white radiance.
