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

"That is... the true core of our Blood God Legion, known as the Heart of the Blood God. It was developed by the Federation with countless resources, plus our own research institute. There is only one Heart of the Blood God in the entire Federation. It can mobilize a vast amount of heaven and earth energy and convert it into soul power, which is then injected into our soul tools to form an energy cycle. Do you know about integrated soul tool battery packs?" Long Yuxue said very seriously.

Gu You frowned. "Is it something that provides energy to large soul tools?"

"Yes. In a sense, the Heart of the Blood God is also like this, but it utilizes the latest soul guidance technology. It's a special metal and a corresponding soul guidance array mutation developed by the Federation. This metal is extremely terrifying; when it mutates, it unleashes an enormous amount of energy. When this metal was first discovered, the Federation's first thought was to use it to manufacture weapons, which is why three God-Slaying Fixed-Motion Soul Guidance Shells appeared. However, after they were made, the God-Slaying Fixed-Motion Soul Guidance Shells were simply too terrifying, so they stopped. And that rare metal was almost gone; it was all used to make this Heart of the Blood God, just to continuously provide a huge amount of energy for us to guard this place."

Just then, a low hum sounded, and the soldiers of the first line of defense had all retreated. At the exit of the passage, a blue light shield instantly formed, completely blocking the exit.

In less than a minute, the gray-black airflow surged up, causing the blue light barrier to sway violently, and the entire abyss cave seemed to tremble. However, the blue light barrier's defensive power far exceeded that of the first line of defense; although it was severely impacted, it remained unmoved.

Gu You glanced at Long Yuxue beside him, "What will happen next?"

Long Yuxue shook her head. "The Abyssal Tide usually starts with a surge of destructive energy, which then brings a large number of abyssal creatures before launching a full-scale attack. While the energy shield can block the destructive energy, it also consumes a lot of our resources. Therefore, once the destructive energy of the Abyssal Tide dissipates, we must also stop using the shield to prevent another surge of destructive energy. Dealing with the abyssal creatures will depend on the combat power of our legion. You should rest quickly; there's definitely going to be a big battle soon!"

Gu You put away his battle armor. Due to the Special Operations Department's special status, no one questioned them. By this time, a large number of Blood God Legion warriors had poured in. The front was filled with heavily armored warriors skilled in close combat, while behind them were various soul-guided turrets set up, and even more ranged attack warriors ready for battle.

At this moment, Gu You also saw an acquaintance.

May in Jiang.

Gu You had replenished all his previous energy reserves with the Golden Dragon Spear, so he hadn't consumed too much energy. He glanced at Long Yuxue, who was meditating beside him, and then stood up and walked towards Jiang Wuyue.

"Sir!" Gu You saluted Jiang Wuyue as he approached.

Jiang Wuyue was extremely busy at the moment, and was taken aback when she suddenly saw Gu You. "What are you doing here? Aren't you a new recruit?"

"Does that mean capable recruits can't come?" Gu You chuckled.

"No, that's not it..."

Jiang Wuyue's heart skipped a beat. "The ability you bestowed upon me last time, how many people can it bless at the same time?" He was still obsessed with the amplification from Gu You's Golden Dragon King power; within that domain, his combat power increased by a full fifty percent!

While the Abyssal Tides present a formidable challenge for the Blood God Legion, each powerful tide also yields a wealth of merit, offering them an opportunity to establish their achievements. In such circumstances, a sudden 50% increase in combat power would undoubtedly translate into even greater rewards.

Gu You glanced at the arena. "A radius of fifty meters in diameter, with no limit on the number of people. It should be fine. But the fewer people there are, the greater the amplification will be. Soul Masters with dragon-type martial souls will experience a better amplification effect."

"Alright, got it. Brother, how about you come with me? You'll get a share of our collective achievements." Jiang Wuyue immediately voiced his thoughts. He was a soldier, not good at beating around the bush, and preferred to be straightforward.

Gu You also enjoyed this, as it was his original intention. "No problem. I just love group fights."

"It's settled then. Maybe after this battle, you'll be promoted directly from second lieutenant to first lieutenant. Haha, we're really lucky this time, just in time for our duty. Being able to face the first wave of abyssal creatures is the situation I've always hoped for. Not to mention the level three abyssal tide that only comes around once every few decades." Facing the approaching formidable enemy, Jiang Wuyue showed no fear, but was instead filled with excitement.

In his mind, a soldier should demonstrate his skills on the battlefield and fight valiantly against the enemy. Someone with his personality wouldn't even consider transferring him to a peacekeeping force. Only here could he experience the thrill of slaying the enemy.

Gu You had a very good impression of Jiang Wuyue, so he was also looking forward to seeing how far Jiang Wuyue could go on the battlefield, and even more so to seeing just how terrifying the Blood God Legion's combat power could be.

He came to the Blood God Legion as an officer, not just to improve his rank, but to try and build his own power base. When he learned that the Blood God Legion was actually guarding the Abyss Passage, he was somewhat disappointed. Even if he could have some loyal followers here, he couldn't take them away to protect the Abyss Passage.

But then I thought, wouldn't destroying the Abyss solve everything?

With a loyal army at that time, he will be fully capable of protecting and developing his own power.

The Federation doesn't actually control the Blood God Legion too strictly right now. Its core members are widely distributed, and many generals have their own independent regiments.

Jiang Wuyue patted Gu You's shoulder forcefully, "Follow me." As he spoke, he continued to direct the combat personnel at the front.

Don't let Jiang Wuyue's usual carefree demeanor fool you; in wartime, he transforms completely. He issues orders with remarkable composure, his judgment unaffected by his intense fighting spirit. He pays attention to every detail, and soon, his close-combat battalion has established a 200-meter-wide steel defensive line ahead.

Through observation, Gu You discovered that the melee battalion had a total of one hundred mechs, all of which were at least purple-level, and there were even five black-level mechs. (End of Chapter)
