Chapter 1786: Bloodriver Godkiller Great Array

“Buzz buzz buzz buzz buzz buzz…”

There was a series of loud buzzing noises. The rank-9 fixed soul ammunition rose into the sky in succession.

Soul weapons at such a rank naturally carried an exceedingly oppressive aura of their own.

When the ten rank-9 fixed soul ammunition rose into the sky, it felt as though the apocalypse was about to dawn upon them.

The tremendous oppressive force swarmed toward the abyssal passage as if it was trying to blanket the sky and blot out the sun. Meanwhile, the artillery fire was also blasting at the abyssal legion with increasing intensity.

The satellite image showed that a large amount of gray-black abyssal energy was surging out from the areas nearby to the abyssal passage. That was how impressive the effect of the bombardment was.

Regardless of how mighty the Guardian Longhorn Beetles’ defense was, it had its limits. The explosion would eventually break through it.

Moreover, not all the abyssal creatures were qualified to receive the protection of the Guardian Longhorn Beetles.

Meanwhile, no one noticed when a stream of golden light shot out from the ground. Soon, there was an awesome suction force that violently pulled the abyssal energy from the sky.

It was only discovered when the abyssal energy surged toward the ground akin to rivers merging into the sea.

Was that not Tang Wulin’s Golden Dragon Spear?

Tang Wulin used the second leaf to return to the battlefield once again. There was a saying, ‘free to advance or retreat’. He could not let such a large amount of abyssal energy escape him! It was an exceedingly rich and thick life force. Tang Wulin’s most important role on the battlefield was to weaken the opponent and strengthen the Ancient Life Tree.

No matter how many abyssal creatures the human forces destroyed, they would still have been resurrected. Had it not been for the Golden Dragon Spear’s devouring power, they would have been able to return to the battlefield once again.

However, a ghastly scene emerged soon after Tang Wulin had unleashed his Golden Dragon Spear.

A sharp howl came from inside the abyssal passage. Soon afterward, a stream of thick purple-black radiance surged skyward.

Due to his close proximity to the abyssal passage, Tang Wulin could feel it more distinctly than the others. He had been transported to that position by A Ruheng. He stared at the purple-black pillar of light. Up close, it was almost as big as the abyssal passage in diameter. Despite the tyrannical level of his bloodline and powerful cultivation base, he felt an overwhelming sense of disgust.

He felt a weight on his chest and intense nausea.

Tang Wulin was greatly startled. What was that?

Soon afterward, the purple-black light pillar had already surged to a high altitude and exploded into a massive purple-black shield of light instantly.

How large was the light shield? It was large enough to enshroud the entire abyssal legion.

All the artillery fire was prevented from reaching on the abyssal legion. The bombardment was blocked by the huge purple-black shield before bursting into sparkles of light.

“Oh no! Senior disciple brother, let’s go.” Tang Wulin grabbed A Ruheng with one hand rapidly as he urged his green-gold soul ring to initiate the connection to the Life Subtree.

However, he discovered that he was incapable of leaving at this exact moment. The connection between him and the Life Subtree was completely cut off by the purple-black light shield with its incomparably powerful energy. Tang Wulin and A Ruheng were stuck there.

“Rumble, rumble, rumble…”

The ten rank-9 fixed soul ammunition had finally arrived and slammed onto the purple-black light shield ferociously.

The savaged impact made the light shield sway ferociously. It felt as if the sky was falling and the ground was crumbling. The violent tremor resulting from the strong energy storm could even be felt inside the purple-black light shield. Some of the weaker abyssal creatures disintegrated right away before turning into abyssal energy.

Tang Wulin’s Golden Dragon Spear continued to absorb the abyssal energy to its content. He joined A Ruheng to charge toward one side of the light shield without the slightest hesitation. There was no doubt that the light shield was not only meant for defense, as it was also because of Tang Wulin’s presence! Otherwise, the light shield would not have appeared so coincidentally.

Tang Wulin made a prompt decision. Under such circumstances, he did not have the courage to hesitate even for a moment. He could only seize the opportunity to seek that slim chance of survival while the light shield was resisting the rank-9 fixed soul ammunition.

“Are you trying to leave? I’m afraid it’s too late for that.” An icy cold voice rang through the air, and a silhouette blocked their path. It was the Underworld King Douluo Ha Luosa!

Ha Luosa flicked his Underworld King Sword with his finger. At once, a large number of underworld creatures came surging out from the ground to block their path completely under the leadership of numerous Death Knights.

In the sky, ghastly green-colored gigantic skulls emerged. It was the Ghost Emperor.

The Darkness Bell and the Darkness Phoenix appeared in succession, followed by numerous powerhouses from the Holy Spirit Cult. Even though no abyssal creature could be seen, there was no doubt that Tang Wulin and A Ruheng were already in a tight encirclement. Moreover, they were confronted by elite warriors including two quasigod-ranked powerhouses!

Tang Wulin’s Golden Dragon Spear continued to devour an incredible amount of abyssal energy. It was taking it in at such an astonishing speed that Tang Wulin’s aura was strengthening exponentially.

With the support of the abyssal energy, it could be said that he had already gained quasigod-ranked fighting capacity in a sense.

Nevertheless, he was still not a quasigod after all. Whether it was the Underworld Emperor or the Ghost Emperor, they were from the same generation as the Atlas Douluo Yun Ming, so they were not too different from him.

It was supposed to be a lost game.

“Boy, I’ve waited for you too long. There is a saying of ‘you don’t take the road to Heaven, but push yourself to Hell where there’s no door’. You are seeking your own doom. In the Bloodriver Godkiller Great Array, any space will be under complete lockdown. I would like to see how else are you going to transport yourself away from here.”

Tang Wulin smiled calmly. “Do you really think that you’re capable of keeping me here? If it really was that simple, would I have come here so recklessly? You understand the importance of my role in this war and so do I. Since all of you are here, we shall see how many of you I can take down before I leave.”

The Ghost Emperor raised a brow upon seeing Tang Wulin’s fully confident look. He cracked into a smile. “Boasting so shamelessly.”

As he was speaking, the nine skulls around his body suddenly blasted ghastly green flames at Tang Wulin.

Was Tang Wulin truly capable of fleeing? He was, of course. Just as he had mentioned, he was well aware of the importance of his role. If he were to die on the frontline and lose the Golden Dragon Spear, it would make it even more difficult for the federal military to completely suppress the abyssal plane. As a result, he had certainly prepared himself for multiple eventualities.

Yes, the connection to Life Subtree was genuinely cut off, so there was nothing he could do to be transported back. However, he still had the Ancient Life Tree!

The Ancient Life Tree had already fully recuperated. As the Nature Child, his life strongly resonated with the Ancient Life Tree in a sense. He could be transported back to the Ancient Life Tree through this resonance.

The so-called Bloodriver Godkiller Great Array was truly powerful beyond comparison. It seemed like the array would not fall any time soon despite being blasted by ten rank-9 fixed soul ammunition. Even so, it was still limited to humanity’s rank and had yet to achieve god-rank. On the other hand, the Ancient Life Tree’s origin power was just as good as a portion of the plane’s lord. It had truly reached the god-ranked realm.

Perhaps, the Ancient Life Tree could not engage in a direct battle, but its rank was still superior to the great array. Hence, Tang Wulin could genuinely be transported away at any moment. Only that, if he were to do that, he would be returned to Shrek Academy instantly. He would need to spend quite some time to rush back to the frontline once again. Perhaps he could be transported away via the Life Subtree, but it would result in large consumption of the Life Subtree’s life force.

As a result, Tang Wulin would not choose this transportation method unless he had no other choice.

Had he not had the Ancient Life Tree as his trump card, he would never have risked dashing into the battlefield recklessly. Whatever the case, he would try his best not to resort to the method.

Tang Wulin loathed the Holy Spirit Cult more than the abyssal creatures. The evil soul masters were obviously humans, but they would even try to destroy the entire continent for personal gain. Whether it was for the continent or his personal interests, he wanted nothing more than to cut up these evil soul masters into a thousand pieces.
