The Legend of the Dragon King (Web Novel)
chapter-1104

Back then, the predecessors of the Douluo Continent had paid a great price for the Blood Gods Great Array. In addition to six thousand years of enhancements, the Blood Gods Great Array was always very efficient in utilizing the heaven and earth spirits. Moreover, it had the feedback of life energy from the Life Seed. This had undoubtedly settled the problem of the Blood Gods' strength being the sole source of power.

The Black Monarch's brows were tightly knit together. She looked at the relentless barrage from the Golden Dragon Spear in midair with keen sparkling eyes. She also shifted her gaze toward Tang Wulin as he devoured the abyssal energies. Although they could still afford to lose these abyssal energies for the time being, it still weakened the abyssal plane's origin energy. Besides, their enemy had already killed two abyssal kings.

The abyssal passage was not a one-way road, so it was open to invasion. She could feel that this human before her had a body that was not too powerful, or at least, it was not yet at a level that could pose a threat to them. However, the problem was that although this human looked weak, the pace at which he grew was something that no abyssal creature could hope to compare with. Once this human developed into a demi-god, with that weapon of his, he could very well bring about the annihilation of the abyss. If nothing else, his presence would make it extremely difficult for the abyssal plane to invade the human's world again.

As the Black Monarch's thoughts flashed across her mind, the murderous intent in her eyes was so great that it seemed to have substance. No wonder the Sage King, who had been in a deep slumber as he waited for the abyss to evolve into a Divine Realm, had awakened and wanted to break through this passage regardless of the price. There truly was a human that could threaten their very existence right now. No matter what, they had to kill the human while he was still in the cradle.

When she thought about this, the Black Monarch's eyes shone brighter. However, she did not act rashly. Even when the four abyssal kings around her were itching to have a go, she still waited calmly. She was waiting for an opportunity.

Judging by the humans' Blood Gods Great Array, she reckoned that their chances of breaking through forcibly would not be high. The barrage on the plane was too strong. With her strength, she could only guarantee that she herself could walk away from this. If any of the other abyssal kings died again, then the abyss's core would be shaken once more. She believed that an opportunity would arise. That would be the moment where they would wager the success or failure of their entire operation on one single move.

Black strands swirled around the Black Monarch's hands and formed a structure that resembled a large net in the air. It kept devouring and absorbing the abyssal energy in the air and infused them into the cracks.

The cracks warped as it opened and closed, changing size constantly. When they were pressed upon by Blood Gods Great Array, they would shrink, but when faced with the full impact of the abyssal plane, they would expand. These constant changes intertwined with each other and more abyssal creatures emerged from the cracks.

Tang Wulin continued his onslaught of abyssal creatures when two more abyssal kings emerged from the among the abyssal creatures. Although they were not of Monarch-rank, they were clearly abyssal experts of note.

Blood One managed the great array as he observed the condition of the abyssal plane beneath him. His gaze was like a dried-up well, unmoving with nary a ripple. He was not too concerned at the moment. The Blood Gods Great Array was already in full swing. If the abyssal plane wanted to maintain the cracks, they would have to continue paying a heavy price. Although the abyssal energies would be restored to them, it was not easy for them to convert the recycled energy into combat strength.

If this attrition went on, as long as they did not break through the seal in the end, they would certainly suffer a great blow to their numbers. They might not have the ability to initiate another abyssal tide in hundreds of years.

With the Blood Gods Great Array receiving input from the Life Seed, its current condition could not be any better. Tang Wulin was being supported by the great array. Blood One was confident that unless a true deity appeared, nobody could hope to get past him.

Tang Wulin was under the Blood Gods Great Array's enhancement. At least, in this location, he was an all-powerful demi-god. It was not that he had attained this rank himself. It was because, in the process of his attacks, he had utilized the heaven and earth spirits which gave off an energy shockwave. Even if the most powerful king from the abyssal plane arrived, it might not be able to charge out of the passage. Also, with the existence of the Life Seed, who would dare to risk their life against Tang Wulin? That was a Golden Dragon Spear that could even devour a Plane Seed.

Hence, when Tang Wulin stood steadily and maintained his bombardment, Blood One knew that there was no way that the Blood God Army would lose this war anymore.

Even he did not expect Tang Wulin to be able to become a pillar to suppress the abyssal plane when he did not even have a seven-ringed cultivation base.

As he looked at Tang Wulin, hovering in midair in his golden armor shining with unparalleled brilliance, he felt guilty for the first time. He regretted using his tactics to hinder Tang Wulin so that his daughter would not get too close to him.

He could see that this young man was bearing a burden that was extraordinarily heavy for one so young, but he also had great potential and strength that was way beyond his age.

As a high-ranking official in the army, of course, he understood what the Blood Gods Great Array was. He was surprised that he could maintain the entire great array at such a level using Tang Wulin's strength alone. This meant that as long as he was here, it would be almost impossible for the abyssal plane to charge out of the passage.

Without a doubt, after this battle, Tang Wulin would be extremely renowned in the army. His prestige might even surpass Zhang Huanyun when he was at the same age. After all, although Zhang Huanyun was heavily gifted with natural talents, he did not have the ability to guard the abyssal passage all on his own.

As long as Tang Wulin agreed, there was no doubt that the Bright Mirror Douluo Zhang Huanyun would undoubtedly leave the post of the Blood God Army's commanding officer to him. This was because there was no one that was more suitable than him. He would definitely have the support of the entire army.

Unfortunately, it was too late for him to regret that now, but this young man did not seem to hold a grudge, luckily.

When he thought about this, his gaze could not help but search for his daughter among the masses. He found Long Yuxue quickly enough.

As the Secret Services' chief, Long Yuxue's duty on the battlefield was to give support where it was needed the most. She had to be ever-ready to support the frontlines with long-range attacks. Although she was constantly on the move, her eyes had never left the golden figure that hovered in the air.

'Oh, my dear daughter, what keen eyes you have. I hope that you really get the opportunity.'

Long Tianwu laughed as if in mockery of himself. From this moment on, he had absolutely no intention of preventing his daughter from pursuing Tang Wulin. He could not help but think with amusement that the Douluo Continent was a place where strength was one's greatest virtue. Even if the opponents this young man had to face in the future were extremely powerful, there should not be any problem for him to protect himself given his abilities.

Just when Long Tianwu's thoughts and emotions changed, he suddenly knitted his brows tightly. An otherworldly chill had suddenly gripped his heart.

This cold had surged within him in the strangest of ways. As an expert of Title Douluo-rank, his senses were very sharp.

'This is bad! Something's not right!'

Long Tianwu turned to the source instinctively as he relied on his senses. There seemed to be no changes on the spot where his gaze fell upon. However, his gaze suddenly fell upon a Blood God Army warrior.

This was a warrior in charge of controlling a soul cannon. His movements and did not appear strange. However, in Long Tianwu's senses, he clearly felt that this warrior was different from the others.

His martial soul was Icy Snow, and in this terrain which was filled with ice and snow, his senses were more perceptive than experts of the same rank. Due to the slight distraction, he was not focused on the main battlefield. That was why the change appeared to have happened quickly.

Long Tianwu did not make a sound. He started approaching the warrior as he silently utilized his body's soul power, trusting his own judgment.

However, at that very moment, the warrior seemed to have felt something as well. He suddenly stopped firing from the soul cannon in his hands. He stood up straight, turned around, and looked at Long Tianwu.

What Long Tianwu saw was a young face. The face had a faint smile, but that smile appeared completely sinister in Long Tianwu's eyes.

This was…

In the next instant, the warrior moved. He had instantly turned into a wisp of smoke. He was not the only one. In different directions, eight other figures moved as well. There were nine of them in total. They seemed to be pouncing toward the nine Blood Gods at the same time.

They all moved with extraordinary speed and their bodies were quickly covered in battle armor. They all had three-word battle armor, and their cultivation base auras also suggested that they were of Title Douluo-rank.

Horrifyingly, dense evil auras burst forth from their bodies. For a time, the Blood Gods Great Array was hit with the evil aura from the outside and despite being stable, was obviously shaken for a bit.
