After the Black Empress was forced back out through the opening in the defensive line, Jiang Wuyue was surrounded by a few Ba'ans, and a fierce series of clashes ensued.

Right at this moment, all of the light in the cave suddenly dimmed, immediately following which a golden bolt of lightning reached the Black Empress almost instantaneously.

The Black Empress had just forced back Jiang Wuyue with a devastating punch when she was struck by a sense of fear that welled up from directly within her soul. She abruptly folded her wings in front of her, and a ma.s.sive black halo appeared above her head. The black halo bore the appearance of a crown, and there was faint golden light s.h.i.+mmering at its center. A strange rune then took shape in front of the Black Empress before forming a s.h.i.+eld.

Everything had happened in the blink of an eye, and golden light erupted in all directions. The surrounding Ba'ans were all sent flying by the terrifying shockwaves resulting from the explosion, and Jiang Wuyue was also forced to stumble back in retreat.

The Black Empress's body swayed slightly, and a hint of emotion finally appeared in her cold and expressionless eyes. She was in complete disbelief!

The black s.h.i.+eld that had been formed by the rune had already shattered, and a golden spear had skewered her hand and her shoulder.

Terrifying suction force immediately erupted from the Golden Dragon Spear, and the Black Empress let loose a howl of anguish before violently swinging her arm through the air to forcibly fling the Golden Dragon Spear away. However, her entire arm was quickly shriveling up along with the right half of her body. Her shoulder collapsed, and even her right wing fell limply by her side.

Her body swayed, and she quickly rushed back into the abyssal pa.s.sageway, disappearing from view in the blink of an eye.

All of the black mechas had already rushed forward at this point, and with the a.s.sistance of the battle armor masters, they were able to slay several Ba'ans in quick succession before finally plugging the gap again. The long-range attacks from the rear were also becoming fiercer and fiercer as one giant ball of light after another crashed into the midst of the abyssal creatures, resulting in strings of violent explosions.

Meanwhile, Tang Wulin descended from up above, and both his blood essence power and soul power had been completely exhausted. He had never tried to compress all of his power into a single attack. It was a good thing that he had such a powerful weapon in the form of his Golden Dragon Spear; a normal weapon would've completely exploded from the vast influx of energy.

Golden light flashed, and the Golden Dragon Spear flew back into Tang Wulin's grasp. An enormous burst of energy immediately surged into his body like a flowing river.

Tang Wulin felt as if his body were a parched desert that was rapidly being replenished with vitality, and he couldn't help but moan with pleasure. He stood on the spot, using his Golden Dragon Spear as a crutch as he silently absorbed the influx of energy.

The energy that had been absorbed was almost entirely injected into his blood essence vortex, and it began to rotate again. An unprecedented feeling of power spread through his entire body, completely wiping away his feebleness. Even though this energy wasn't replenis.h.i.+ng his soul power to anywhere near the degree that it was replenis.h.i.+ng his blood essence power, he had still instantly recovered to over 60% of his peak condition.

Tang Wulin didn't know whether that attack had inflicted lasting damage on the Black Empress. He had used the Tang Sect's hidden weapon hand techniques after injecting all of his power into the Golden Dragon Spear, and the Black Empress had underestimated him, thereby resulting in her being severely wounded by that attack.

However, this was the first time Tang Wulin had encountered an enemy that was able to forcibly extricate the Golden Dragon Spear from their body before they were sucked dry.

It was a shame that he hadn't been able to kill that Black Empress. Doing so would've definitely earned him an enormous amount of accolades that would significantly contribute to his promotions.

Even so, Tang Wulin was already very satisfied. At the very least, he had absorbed the Black Empress's energy, and his heart was filled with elation as he felt the relentless river of blood essence power surging froth from his Golden Dragon Spear.

All of a sudden, his body abruptly shuddered. His blood essence churned within his body, causing his skin to turn slightly red in color. This red color was slightly abnormal, and much to Tang Wulin's surprise, the color of his blood essence vortex also began to change. Due to its high-speed rotation, its original faint golden color was approaching a scorching white color. He felt as if some kind of explosive power were about to erupt within his body.

c.r.a.p! Did I absorb too much energy for me to handle?

A throbbing pain began to spread through his entire body, and he let loose a m.u.f.fled groan. He tried to release his Golden Dragon Spear, but found himself completely unable to do so.

A layer of golden light began to appear on the Golden Dragon Spear before being slowly injected into his body, and the redness of his skin became more and more p.r.o.nounced. However, he was currently wearing his Dragon Moon battle armor with his visor covering his face, so no one could see the abnormal condition that he was in.

He had just severely wounded a Black Empress and forced it into retreat, and it was very normal for him to be taking a rest after unleas.h.i.+ng such a devastating attack. As such, no one had had any idea that there was currently something wrong with his body.

This is bad!

Never would Tang Wulin have thought that the Black Empress would possess such immense energy. The energy coming from the Golden Dragon Spear had already been filtered, but even after the filtration process, there still seemed to be no end to this influx of energy.
