It suddenly thrashed violently, and countless dark red b.a.l.l.s of light erupted forth, hurtling directly toward the exit of the abyssal pa.s.sageway. At the same time, a pair of ma.s.sive bat wings spread open on its back, stretching to a wingspan of over 200 meters. It flapped its wings vigorously and abruptly flew toward the exit of the pa.s.sageway.
”Put the defense system into overdrive!” the vice-commander commanded without any hesitation, but at the same time, his heart had completely sunk.
It was undoubtedly the case that this gargantuan being definitely wasn't a normal abyssal plane. At the very least, he had never seen an abyssal creature like this before, and that indicated that this was very likely one of the 108 abyssal emperors. Furthermore, this was not just a projection; its actual body had descended upon this place! Each abyssal emperor was at least as powerful as a Hyper Douluo, and they possessed bodies far more powerful than those of humans.
Violent explosions erupted, transforming everything down below into a fiery red color. The b.a.l.l.s of light released by the Six-clawed Demon Emperor were all targeted by soul lasers, and its ma.s.sive body also crashed into the oncoming soul lasers.
Soul lasers and soul cannon blasts fell upon it before exploding into b.a.l.l.s of fire, turning its body bright red, and also instantly hampering its upward momentum as it made its ascent. However, it was also managing to s.h.i.+eld the abyssal creatures behind it from most of the oncoming attacks, and vast hordes of abyssal creatures quickly rose up from around it.
”Use the high explosive bombs!” the vice-commander of the Iron Will Corps quickly commanded.
b.a.l.l.s of scorching white light exploded down below, encompa.s.sing the entire abyssal pa.s.sageway. The Six-clawed Demon Emperor was indeed very powerful, but in the face of such concentrated barrages of attacks, even it was only able to last less than 20 seconds before its ma.s.sive body plummeted downward to evade a large number of soul lasers and soul cannon blasts.
The vice-commander of the Iron Will Corps heaved a long sigh of relief. The defensive measures that had been set up here hadn't gone to waste; this defensive line had been created with the intention of targeting demiG.o.ds. Now, he could only hope that reinforcements could arrive on the scene as soon as possible! After all, the energy reserves were limited, and only with a sufficient supply of energy could the defensive line continue to unleash such enormous bursts of power output.
Looking on at the streams of black energy that were being absorbed back into the abyssal pa.s.sageway, there was no sense of achievement whatsoever in the vice-corps commander's heart. The biggest problem that had plagued the Blood G.o.d Legion was the inability to truly destroy these abyssal creatures.
If they could actually destroy these beings, then the power of the entire abyssal plane would've been significantly worn down during the past 6,000 years.
Right at this moment, groups of Blood G.o.d Legion soldiers appeared in the distance, along with all types of equipment and machinery. They quickly began to get to work, replacing the batteries, replenis.h.i.+ng energy, and taking over the defensive positions littered all around the pa.s.sageway. More soul cannons were being set up, and more soldiers joined in on the defensive efforts as one mecha after another surrounded the exit of the main pa.s.sageway, forming a strict formation that was ready to plunge into battle at any moment.
”What's the situation like?” A ma.s.sive mecha descended from above before arriving beside the vice-corps commander.
The vice-corps commander finally heaved a sigh of relief upon seeing this man, and he replied, ”We've managed to hold them off for now, but more than four battalions worth of our brothers have fallen.”
”What?” Ma Shan was stunned to hear this. The emergency sirens immediately made him realize that an abyssal tide had most likely struck as only abyssal tides could trigger such loud sirens. However, never did he think that things would be this serious. This was roughly equivalent to the total number of Blood G.o.d Legion soldiers who had fallen during the past century!
One had to realize that all of the Blood G.o.d Legion soldiers are elites among elites, and the fact that so many of them had perished in such a short time was making his heart throb with pain. Furthermore, the main units guarding the pa.s.sageway at this point in time came from none other than his Iron Will Corps!
”Those b.a.s.t.a.r.ds!” Ma Shan roared in a furious voice.
The vice-corps commander was clearly quite familiar with Ma Shan's short temper, and he hurriedly said, ”Commander, now's not the time to be letting out emotions get the better of us! The situation on this occasion was very bizarre. For some reason, these abyssal creatures came from the seal in the main pa.s.sageway; something like this has never happened in the past 6,000 years! It was exactly because of this that we were completely caught off guard, and many of the brothers had to self-detonate to keep the enemies at bay. Let's guard the exit to the best of our ability and wait for the legion commander and the Blood G.o.ds to get here.”
Ma Shan's aura was clearly a little unstable. He had a fiery temper, but he was very good to his subordinates and was a respected and revered figure among the troops of the Iron Will Corps. However, close to a third of his brothers had fallen here; how could he continue to remain calm?
I'll kill these b.a.s.t.a.r.ds!” Ma Shan raised a hand and removed the ma.s.sive mace that was attached to his mecha's back. It was quite clear that the vice-corps commander wasn't going to be able to stop him.
Right at this moment, a figure suddenly appeared beside him. This was a human who wasn't in a mecha, and he immediately grabbed onto the shoulder of Ma Shan's mecha. The huge black mecha instantly faltered in mid-air and was unable to rush forward.
”Calm down, you idiot! Now's not the time for you to lose your cool. This situation is indeed very bizarre; your top priority now is to command your troops.”The deep voice seemed to possess some kind of magical quality that instantly made Ma Shan calm down.
