Long Yuxue heaved a sigh . Even if she had a platoon, purging this place of abyssal creatures was not something that could be done in a short while . However, Tang Wulin had relied solely on his spirit soul and accomplished just that in such a short period of time . It was beyond belief!
Just how powerful was his strength? Up till now, he had not even used his battle armor to fight . Would that not mean that he would be more terrifying if he had his battle armor on?
Tang Wulin leaped into the node . He did not retract the Goldsong . Instead, he pressed forward quickly . He reached the next tunnel and entered it swiftly .
The Goldsong was like Tang Wulin's eyes . What it saw, Tang Wulin could naturally see as well .
Light flashed in the tunnel and the Goldsong was already inside . The surprising thing was that the tunnel's interior was empty . There were no abyssal creatures inside .
"Wulin, that's about it . It's your first time here, so it's best not to go too deep . Throngs of abyssal creatures will appear inside the abyssal tunnel at random times . If a large group of abyssal creatures appeared, what with the few of us, it's…"
She had not finished her sentence when Tang Wulin suddenly stopped in his tracks . "I think you're right . "
Low roars accompanied the escalating air flow which came from inside the tunnel .
When she heard the sound, Long Yuxue's expression changed drastically!
"This is bad . It's really an abyssal tide! Run!" Before she had even finished speaking, she pulled on Tang Wulin as she turned around and ran out of the tunnel .
Tang Wulin did not have a thorough understanding of the abyssal tunnel . However, he was not so arrogant as to think that he could hold back the abyssal tide with his own strength . With that, he turned around and without hesitating ran after Long Yuxue .
Long Yuxue was a little slow . Tang Wulin hooked her slender waist with his right hand and unleashed his two-word battle armor at the same time . His pair of golden wings unfurled behind him .
The Goldsong turned into a beam of golden light and entered Tang Wulin's body . Tang Wulin flapped his wings mightily . At the same time, he commanded his entire body's blood essence energy to surge toward his Dragon Moon battle armor behind him . He flew toward the way they came in, like a beam of flowing golden light at blinding speed .
Long Yuxue exclaimed in shock . She then noticed being held in an embrace . Because of the high speed, the strong headwind made it difficult for her to keep her eyes open . However, she felt strangely at ease . What tremendous speed! Under his battle armor's full throttle, it seemed that he was not any slower than the Mo Mei .
The rumbling sound kept coming from behind, and it sounded like it was getting closer . Tang Wulin felt like it was a giant, destructive vortex that was closing in on him from behind as if it was going to devour them all .
Such a feeling was definitely uncomfortable . The sense of danger compelled him to increase his speed to the maximum as he passed through the cavern in front of him .
He finally reached his starting point, the place where he first came in . It was where the Blood God Army had formed a line of defense .
"It's an abyssal tide! Everyone, be careful!" shouted Tang Wulin .
In truth, when he charged out, he noticed that this node was already filled with energy . Scores of giant, light shields were already erected . All the soul cannons were filled with energy and ready to be fired . Without a doubt, the rumbling was the best warning .
Tang Wulin flapped his wings . He landed on the ground with Long Yuxue and sighed in relief .
When they saw the great pair of golden wings behind him, many of the Blood God Army's soldiers displayed admiration on their faces .
Although those enlisted were outstanding talents, there was only a handful who were able to attain the ranks of a two-word battle armor master .
A gigantic light shield was erected before him . The threatening feeling he felt earlier immediately vanished . At this very moment, an extremely powerful greyish-black air flow surged out from the tunnel .
All the light shields shone at the same time . The dazzling lights merged together to form a giant light barrier which blocked the impact of the greyish-black light .
Amidst the greyish-black glow, something could be seen faintly, brandishing its claws . The terrifying force of the impact made the glow of the light shields burst forth with light .
Long Yuxue could only sigh in relief now . She looked up at Tang Wulin beside her and saw his grim-looking face . She patted her own chest . A moment later, she raised her soul rifle in her hands .
Although it was through a mini mecha, she felt a sense of security which came from Tang Wulin . This fellow truly lived up to the name of the Shrek Seven Monsters .
Naturally, Tang Wulin did not know what Long Yuxue was thinking of . He only felt the energy shockwave from the abyssal tide's impact .
The barrier formed by the energy shields sufficed for now . However, the energy tide's shockwave was very powerful . It seemed unlikely that the current barrier was capable of withstanding it .
As expected, a deafening alarm sounded after a short while .
"The abyssal tide's intensity is already at rank-3! The barrier can only last for five minutes max . All units retreat to the second line of defense, now! Meanwhile, report to combat command and request for backup . I'm afraid that the abyssal creatures are about to launch an all-out attack . "
"Let's go . " Long Yuxue pulled on Tang Wulin and charged into the tunnel .
Tang Wulin flapped his wings and followed closely behind .
"What does intensity rank-3 mean?" asked Tang Wulin as he followed Long Yuxue .
Long Yuxue's expression was grim . "Usually, the abyssal tide will be between ranks 1 and 2 . At those intensities, our barrier is strong enough to keep them at bay . That's also the norm . Every few decades or so, the abyssal creatures will launch an all-out war where the abyssal tide will reach rank-3 . A rank-3 abyssal tide will require large defensive equipment to hold it back . It also means that there'll be experts among the abyssal creatures that'll attack our defenses with all their might . At times like these, it's always the most difficult for us . I never thought that you'd be so unfortunate as to witness this event so early in your career . Even I haven't seen a rank-3 abyssal tide before . Get ready to fight . Every soldier will be mobilized for sure . "
"Alright!" Tang Wulin did not ask further . Currently, the only thing that they could do was to continue fighting and wait for reinforcements .
They retreated to the second line of defense . Tang Wulin finally saw the large defensive machines . These soul tools were prepared well in advance . Rows of defensive formations were completed swiftly . Everyone moved in an orderly fashion and no one appeared flustered although the abyssal tide had reached rank-3 .
Scores of soul tools, which Tang Wulin could not even recognize, were quickly assembled . The energy shockwave suddenly intensified . Tang Wulin saw a giant metal ball drop within the abyssal cavern behind them . The ball was more than three hundred meters in diameter . There were hundreds of light beams shooting out from below as they supported its weight . The metal ball itself was emanating an immense amount of energy . At the same time, huge strips of metal shot out of the ground from within the abyssal caverns, connecting themselves to the soul tools within .
"What's that?" Tang Wulin asked Long Yuxue, who was beside him .
Long Yuxue said, "That's the true core of our Blood God Army . It's known as Blood God's Heart . It's the product of immeasurable manpower and resources from the Federation as well as our own research efforts . There's only one Blood God's Heart in the entire Federation . It can convert a large amount of origin energy into soul power and channel it into our soul tools, forming an energy cycle . Do you know anything about integrated soul power batteries?"
Tang Wulin replied, "I've heard of them . They supply energy for large soul tools . "
"Hmm . In a sense, the Blood God's Heart is similar . However, the Blood God's Heart utilizes the latest soul technology . It's a variation of a special metal developed by the Federation and its corresponding soul circuit . These metals are truly frightening . When they mutate, they'll erupt with an immense amount of energy . When they discovered this metal, the first thought the Federation had was to use it to make weapons . That's how the three godkiller-ranked fixed soul ammunition came to be . However, they were soon discontinued after they were made because the godkiller-ranked fixed soul ammunitions were too terrifying . Also, there wasn't much of the rare metal left . All of it had been used to make this Blood God's Heart so that it can supply us with a continuous and large amount of energy to guard this place . "
Tang Wulin was shocked . Although he was not sure about the effects of the Blood God's Heart, he had personally witnessed the extremely powerful destructive energy of the godkiller-ranked fixed soul ammunitions! It was a catastrophe that could not even be withstood by a Limit Douluo with his four-word battle armor on . Shrek Academy and the Tang Sect headquarters had been destroyed under its attack . He never expected the Blood God Army to be in possession of such a powerful soul tool of the same rank .
"Hum . " At this moment, a deep buzz sounded . The soldiers from the first line of defense had all retreated . A blue, light shield immediately took shape at the tunnel's opening, effectively sealing off its exit
