Douluo: Legend of the Dragon King - The Voice of the Purple Emperor

Most of them were six-clawed demons, numbering over twenty. These six-clawed demons didn't approach, but instead pierced their claws into the ground, sending large swathes of spikes spreading towards Gu You. These things had penetrating attacks, meaning that Long Yuxue behind Gu You was no longer safe.

"It's alright, leave it to me." Gu You shouted, and the spear shadows fired by the Golden Dragon Spear became denser, instantly shattering the ground spikes.

The dense barrage of gunfire washed everything away, transforming into countless energy fluctuations that surged into Gu You's body.

Finally, the area was cleared. Gu You raised his hand and the Golden Dragon Spear returned to his grasp, transferring the energy it had absorbed and transformed to Gu You.

The vortexes of qi and blood and soul power within his body had thickened considerably at some point. The crystals within them were also exceptionally clear. Gu You understood that his soul core and bloodline core were one step closer to being born.

It seems that the energy from the Golden Dragon Spear has brought him more benefits than he had imagined.

Gu You even felt that he might be the only human in history to possess a four-soul core. And that was him!

Long Yuxue let out a long sigh. Even a platoon of soldiers wouldn't be able to wipe out the abyssal creatures here in a short time. Yet he accomplished it all by himself in such a short period of time. It was simply unbelievable.

Just how strong is he? He hasn't even used his battle armor in battle yet. Wouldn't he be even more terrifying if he did?

Gu You jumped into the node and moved forward quickly, continuing to the front of the next passageway. With a flash, he was the first to slip inside.

"Gu You, that's enough. This is your first time here, so don't go too deep. Abyssal creatures will surge forth from time to time within the Abyss Passage, and large numbers of them will appear at once. We're simply too weak..."

She had just finished speaking when Gu You suddenly stopped in his tracks. "You seem to have hit the nail on the head."

A low whistling sound rang out, accompanied by a growing gust of air coming from the tunnel toward them.

"Oh no, it really is the Abyss Tide, run!" she said, pulling Gu You and turning to run.

Ancient Journey doesn't know much about the Abyss Passage. It seems that this Abyss Tide is quite powerful.

Long Yuxue was a little slow, and Gu You grabbed her slender waist with his right hand. At the same time, he released his two-word battle armor, and his wings spread out behind him.

Gu You flapped his wings forcefully, simultaneously directing all the energy in his body to surge towards the purple-gold battle armor on his back. He flew back the way he came, like a streak of light.

Long Yuxue gasped in surprise, then found herself pulled into a broad embrace. The speed was so great that the gust of wind made it difficult for her to open her eyes. Such speed! Even with his battle armor activated at full power, his speed seemed almost on par with Mo Mei's!

Finally, with a flash, he rushed to the place where he had first entered, which was the place defended by the Blood God Legion.

"Abyssal Tide, everyone be careful!" Gu You shouted.

In fact, the moment he rushed out, he discovered that the node was already brimming with energy. Huge light shields had been erected, and all the soul-guided turrets were fully charged and ready.

The two landed in a safe place.

Seeing the enormous, vibrant purple-green wings behind Gu You, many of the Blood God Legion warriors present showed envy on their faces.

Although those who can come here are all quite outstanding talents, only a few can reach the level of a two-word battle armor master.

A massive shield of light appeared before them. Just then, an incredibly powerful stream of gray-black energy surged out from the passage.

All the light shields lit up at the same time, and the dazzling light instantly merged together, transforming into a huge light shield that blocked the impact of the gray-black airflow.

Within the gray-black airflow, something seemed to be baring its fangs and claws, and the terrifying impact caused the light shield to flash brightly.

Long Yuxue finally had a chance to breathe a sigh of relief. She looked up at Gu You beside her, patted her chest gently, and at the same time, raised the soul-guided gun in her hand.

At this moment, Gu You was unaware of what Long Yuxue was thinking; he was sensing the energy fluctuations of the abyss tide.

Judging from the protective shields formed by these energy shields, they have temporarily blocked the flow of energy. However, the fluctuations of the energy tides are extremely powerful, and it seems that the shields in front of us cannot completely defend against them.

Sure enough, in just a short while, the piercing alarm sounded.

"The abyssal tide intensity has reached level three. The shield can only hold for a maximum of five minutes. Retreat immediately and defend the second line of defense. At the same time, report to the operations command and request reinforcements. The abyssal creatures are likely about to launch a full-scale attack."

"Let's go." Long Yuxue pulled Gu You and rushed into the passage first.

"What does level three strength mean?" Gu You asked as he followed Long Yuxue.

Long Yuxue's expression turned grave. "Generally speaking, abyssal tides are at level one to two, which our shield just now could easily withstand. This is normal. However, roughly every few decades, the abyssal creatures launch a full-scale war, at which point the abyssal tides reach level three. Level three abyssal tides require large-scale defensive equipment to withstand, but this also means that powerful abyssal creatures will emerge and attack our defenses with all their might. These are always our most difficult moments, and I didn't expect you to arrive so soon and already be facing one. I've never even encountered a level three abyssal tide before. Prepare for battle. At this time, the entire army will definitely be mobilized."

"Okay!" Gu You didn't ask any more questions.

Retreating to the second line of defense, Gu You finally saw the large-scale defensive equipment. These soul tools had been prepared in advance, and rows of defensive arrays had been quickly formed. All personnel were in good order and did not panic even though the abyss tide suddenly reached level three.

One after another, soul tools that Gu You couldn't recognize rapidly gathered together, their energy fluctuations suddenly intensifying. Gu You saw that a huge metal sphere had descended from the abyss cave behind him at some unknown time. This metal sphere was over three hundred meters in diameter, with hundreds of beams of light spewing from its base to support its weight. The metal sphere itself released an enormous amount of energy, and at the same time, huge metal walls from its depths drilled into each of the surrounding abyss caves, connecting with the soul tools inside.

"What is that?" Gu You asked Long Yuxue beside him... (End of this chapter)
