Chapter 1783: Coming and Going as One Pleased
The dense cloud of abyssal energy that was surging toward the abyssal passageway suddenly drew to a halt right before it could be acted upon by the devouring vortexes conjured up by the Black Empresses.
This was a very strange turn of events. Abyssal energy was a very special type of entity with no form or substance, so under normal circumstances, it wouldn’t be influenced by anything, and that was the main reason behind why the human race hadn’t been able to inflict any damage upon the abyssal plane for the 6,000 years prior to Tang Wulin’s emergence.
As such, it was an extremely strange sight to be seeing such a massive mass of abyssal energy suspended in mid-air.
In the next instant, the entire cloud of abyssal energy suddenly began to surge violently before rapidly revolving to form a vortex.
All of the abyssal energy then abruptly collapsed in on itself right before the stunned Black Empresses and Demonic Enchantresses, rapidly shrinking before vanishing altogether in the blink of an eye.
The large screen in the control center also suddenly cleared up, allowing everyone to see the Demonic Enchantresses and Black Empresses up ahead. The perspective shifted and was directed down toward the ground, where the massive abyssal army could be seen, organized into huge orderly sections. Due to the disruption from the countless flying abyssal creatures, the footage wasn’t very clear, but at the very least, the target had been established, and the coordinates were immediately transmitted to the control center.
Immediately thereafter, they caught sight of a familiar face through the video recording soul tool being held by A’Ruheng.
Tang Wulin was holding the Golden Dragon Spear, which had just devoured an enormous amount of abyssal energy and was radiating scintillating light.
He then turned toward the camera with a smile, and declared, “Open fire at me!”
As soon as his voice trailed off, he shot forth as a streak of golden light, reducing all of the Demonic Enchantresses and Black Empresses in his wake into grey energy, which was then devoured by his spear.
“It’s him!” All of the powerful beings of the abyss and the Holy Spirit Cult in the abyssal passageway were stunned to see this.
No one knew how Tang Wulin had arrived, nor how he had appeared within that cloud of abyssal energy. However, it was clear that the entire cloud of abyssal energy had just been devoured by his Golden Dragon Spear.
The Hornet Sovereign let loose a pained roar as three pairs of huge transparent wings appeared on her back, and she flapped them vigorously as she rushed out of the abyssal passageway.
How had Tang Wulin shown up here? That was something that only he and A’Ruheng knew.
Right as A’Ruheng was about to set off for his scouting mission, Tang Wulin had given him three leaves from the tree of life. Each leaf was imbued with the abundant life energy of the tree of life and also contained the coordinates of life, which allowed Tang Wulin to instantly teleport to them as the Son of Nature.
Even though the teleportation had expended some of the tree of life’s energy, the abyssal energy that had just been devoured was more than enough to make up for the loss.
Inside the control center, Yu Guanzhi was stunned by what he was seeing, but there was no time to hesitate as opportunities in battle could slip away at any moment.
“Lock onto the target and open fire!”
In the distance, the main warships of the three naval legions began to turn their giant soul cannons toward the same direction.
The Northern Legion, Western Legion, Northwestern Legion, and Central Legion also quickly began to adjust their long-range soul cannons.
A string of deafening booms rang out, and the first round of cannon fire seemed to have woken up the entire northernmost region of the continent.
Even those in the abyssal passageway in the core circle could hear faint traces of the thunderous commotion. A stir immediately ran through the abyssal army, and at this moment, Tang Wulin gave A’Ruheng a quick nod, following which a greenish-golden halo emerged from beneath his feet.
In the next instant, he simply vanished amid a flash of light.
At the same time, A’Ruheng swiveled around and plunged rapidly down toward the ground like a shooting star, smashing a hole straight into the earth that he disappeared into, sending powerful shockwaves surging outward in all directions.
All of a sudden, the entire sky lit up, illuminated by countless soul artillery shells. Dense artillery fire filled virtually the entire sky, bathing all of the abyssal creatures down below in scintillating light.
Of course, the abyssal army wasn’t just going to stand around and allow itself to be attacked. As soon as they heard the explosions in the distance, the abyssal creatures had immediately sprung into action.
A series of massive Guardian Longhorned Beetles appeared within the abyssal army, spreading open their wings to form gigantic shields with diameters in excess of 100 meters to protect the abyssal creatures down below. At the same time, they were releasing dense purple light barriers that encompassed even larger areas. It was as if a series of massive semi-circular shields had appeared on the ground, encompassing the vast majority of abyssal creatures beneath them.
High up in the sky where A’Ruheng had just been, a small and agile flying soul tool was broadcasting everything that was taking place down below straight to the control center.
Everything had taken a drastic and abrupt turn.
Immediately thereafter, a series of black dots rose up into the air to meet the artillery fire. These were all Abyssal Bomber Hornets, and they accelerated one after another in mid-air to intercept the oncoming artillery shells.
At this point, the Hornet Sovereign had already regained her composure, and she was hovering in mid-air while her entire body had turned a semi-transparent green color.
Ghost Emperor, Infernal Emperor, and all of the other powerful beings from the Holy Spirit Cult down below could clearly sense extremely powerful spiritual fluctuations currently emanating from her body.
Among the nine sovereigns, the Hornet Sovereign was definitely the weakest when it came to individual combat prowess, but the Abyssal Bomber Hornets possessed the most fearsome overall combat prowess, and the key to this was the Hornet Sovereign’s control.
The Hornet Sovereign possessed such immense spiritual power that she was able to accurately control the flight trajectory of each and every one of the hornets.
A string of explosions erupted in the sky in rapid succession, creating a formidable energy storm.
Then came the explosions on the ground, sending tremendous shockwaves sweeping through the entire area.
It had to be said that the Abyssal Bomber Hornets had been very successful in their interception, and a large number of artillery shells had been detonated before reaching the abyssal army.
However, once these artillery shells exploded, the Abyssal Bomber Hornets became a lot less useful as they were completely unable to approach the fearsome energy storm.
Furthermore, this was only the beginning of the human army’s assault!
In the control center, Yu Guanzhi was issuing one order after another without pause, and the artillery fire from the seven legions was being seamlessly sustained.
So what if the first round had been stopped by the Abyssal Bomber Hornets? The second round had already arrived!
Thus, a comprehensive carpet bombing ensued, and a doomsday-like scene began to unfold in the core circle.
“Switch to the satellite signal!” Yu Guanzhi yelled.
One of the screens in the control center instantly took on the perspective of a federal satellite, surveying the northernmost region of the continent from outer space.
Just as Yu Guanzhi anticipated, the artillery fire had scattered much of the dense mist above the core circle, allowing everyone to see what was down below.
“Zoom in!” Yu Guanzhi quickly made his way over to the screen as he carefully inspected it.
The image was expanded, and a huge cave appeared on the screen. Due to the constant bombardment of artillery fire, there were many things that couldn’t be seen clearly, but it was apparent that the cave wasn’t being targeted as accurately as possible.
“Lock onto the coordinates of the abyssal passageway, then adjust the direction of attack. Prepare 10 ninth-grade soul missiles to be fired toward the abyssal passageway at the same time!” Yu Guanzhi yelled in an excited voice.
The orders continued to be issued and were instantly relayed by the advisors. Not far away from the control center, a series of silos were slowly opened, and 10 ninth-grade soul missiles had already been fitted into their launchers.
It had been a very long time since 10 ninth-grade soul missiles had last been launched in unison in a battle.
