Chapter 1097 (2/2)

The Blood G.o.d Legion wasn't officially a part of the federal military, but no matter what was going on behind the scenes in the federal parliament, they didn't dare to cut back even in the slightest on their support of the Blood G.o.d Legion. The invasion of the abyssal creatures 6,000 years ago was regarded as top-secret information in the federal parliament, and maintaining the power of the Blood G.o.d Legion was also one of the highest priorities of the federal government.

As such, throughout these 6,000 years, the Blood G.o.d Legion had constantly received the newest technology from the federation, regardless of whether it was defensive equipment or weapons. Even some weapons that were still in their experimental phases had been sent here, and they were improved upon based on their performances during battles against the abyssal creatures.

With the current weaponry and equipment available to the human race, even the abyssal emperors weren't worthy of fear. Throughout these past 6,000 years, it had always been the unkillable nature of these abyssal creatures that was the most difficult thing to deal with. This was why Blood One was so ecstatic after witnessing the ability of Tang Wulin's Golden Dragon Spear to devour abyssal energy.

Of course, in order to allow Tang Wulin to truly make a decisive impact on this millennilong conflict, the Blood G.o.d Legion had to be able to keep the abyssal plane at bay first. Otherwise, if they were allowed to invade the Douluo Continent, then the entire Douluo Star would face imminent destruction. After all, humans couldn't just resurrect themselves like abyssal creatures could!

As such, the Blood G.o.d Legion had to defend the abyssal pa.s.sageway no matter what.

Zhang Huanyun currently had an extremely grave look on his face. Even though he had been battling abyssal creatures for over 60 years, he was still feeling very tense and nervous in the face of such a fierce abyssal tide.

He did indeed possess a vast wealth of experience when it came to battling abyssal creatures, but that was only limited to a certain scope. It had been countless years since any abyssal emperors had appeared in the human world in their true forms, and as the legion commander, he was the psychological pillar of the entire legion, so he couldn't venture into the abyssal plane to experience the powers of the abyssal emperors for himself. As such, in this area, Blood One was far more experienced than him.

The deaths of the Six-clawed Demon Emperor and the Ant Emperor had instilled them with a lot of confidence, but these five abyssal emperors were not beings that could be kept at bay by the weapons that were currently being used; they would only be able to ward off these fearsome beings if they were to unleash weapons with more destructive power. However, the issue was that he didn't know just how powerful the Black Sovereign was. She was the sovereign of the ninth abyssal level and the ruler of the Black Empress race, so she had to be an extremely fearsome being.

In the branch pa.s.sageways, it was considered to be a major crisis even for a Black Empress to appear, let alone the Black Sovereign herself.

Among the races of the abyssal plane, the Black Empress race had a very small population, but their individual combat prowess was extremely formidable. In terms of overall powers, they were at least able to rank among the top five races of the entire abyssal plane.

During his younger days, Zhang Huanyun had fought a Black Empress before, and he could still remember just how close he had come to being killed in that battle. Black Empresses were already such formidable beings; one could only imagine just how powerful the Black Sovereign was.

Explosions rang out in rapid succession as the frequency of weapon fire increased even further. The soldiers of the Blood G.o.d Legion were displaying an extremely high level of composure, managing to remain completely calm and collected even in the face of such a ferocious a.s.sault. They were constantly swapping out energy units from the weapons as they had practiced during training drills countless times in the past, and some of the backup weapons were already in use.

”Prepare the corrosion bomb!” Zhang Huanyun issued one order after another with an extremely grim look on his face.

A ma.s.sive cylindrical soul weapon with a diameter of over 30 meters slowly emerged from the ground not far away from the exit of the pa.s.sageway. This cylindrical barrel was entirely dark green in color with the image of a black skull on its surface. One could sense just how fearsome this weapon was just by looking at it.

The barrel aimed itself toward the abyssal pa.s.sageway in a diagonal manner, and faint energy fluctuations were emanating from within it.

At this point, countless abyssal creatures were still charging forward with no regard for their own lives, and they were getting closer and closer to the defensive line.

”Launch the corrosion bomb!” Following an order from Zhang Huanyun, a ball of dark green light appeared within the ma.s.sive green barrel. Immediately thereafter, the dark green ball of light was launched through the air, flying in a graceful parabolic trajectory and hurtling directly toward the very center of the abyssal pa.s.sageway.

The offensive output from the defensive line at the exit of the abyssal pa.s.sageway eased slightly, and the abyssal creatures down below immediately took advantage of this opportunity to gain more ground. Right at this moment, the dark green ball that had a diameter of close to 30 meters landed among them.
