Douluo Amon: I am the Heavenly Venerable of the Dragon King.

Chapter 503 Abyss Tides

Inside the Blood God Camp.

"Tang Wulin has now officially passed the Blood God Legion's assessment. In view of his outstanding performance in the assessment, he has been exceptionally promoted to the rank of Second Lieutenant. He is currently studying under the Deputy Director of the Special Operations Department, Long Yuxue."

A middle-aged man sat in front of Cai Xukun, reporting on Tang Wulin's recent situation. Besides him and Cai Xukun, a beautiful woman with a cold demeanor was also present. She was Nan Fusheng's other incarnation: the evil soul master Elizabeth.

"Long Yuxue? She's Long Tianwu's daughter. He's really got a lot of luck with women."

Cai Xukun quickly recalled Long Yuxue's identity. Long Yuxue, Martial Soul Ice, Five-Ring Soul King, Deputy Director of the Special Operations Division. She was around twenty-five years old.

How should I put it? It sounds pretty useless. However, that's compared to a monster like Cai Xukun. In reality, a Soul King at twenty-five years old is already extremely outstanding.

Of course, what really drew Cai Xukun's attention to her was Long Yuxue's other identity: the daughter of Long Tianwu, the vice commander of the Blood God Legion.

Tang Wulin works under Long Yuxue, so he has at least a very strong backer. In addition, he is handsome and very strong, so it shouldn't be difficult for him to win the heart of a young girl.

Tang Wulin joined the army as a man. Although he inexplicably became a girl, in his heart, Tang Wulin still considered himself a man.

Moreover, under the current circumstances, it is obvious that women would encounter many inconveniences when joining the Legion.

Putting aside other factors, in a male-dominated environment like the military, being a woman might attract unwanted attention and scrutiny. Moreover, the fact that she's become incredibly beautiful after transforming into a woman is extremely disadvantageous for her, given her current need to conceal her identity.

In addition, influenced by his Tang family bloodline, Tang Wulin ultimately decided to join the army as a man.

Of course, only a few people who were at the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well at the time knew that Tang Wulin had turned into a woman. Cai Xukun, who had been hiding in the Blood God Legion, was obviously unaware of this.

The middle-aged man continued his report, "After being awarded the rank of second lieutenant, Tang Wulin also collaborated with Long Yuxue to establish a forging workshop within the legion to earn merit points. Following the establishment of his workshop, the quartermaster department issued new instructions."

"The exchange rate for merit points earned by all support professions has been increased to 120%, allowing them to be exchanged for items of higher value than before. However, from now on, these merit points cannot be used for promotions. Only combat merit points can be used to advance military ranks."

The Blood God Legion naturally has its own currency: Merit Points. Merit Points can be exchanged for various items within the Blood God Legion, most notably for military ranks.

Yes, you can exchange it for military ranks!

The way to earn merit points is simple: either participate in battles against abyssal creatures or do various logistical tasks. These are all good ways to earn merit points.

It's worth mentioning that you need merit points to eat here. That's right, meals aren't provided here; I don't know where this Shrek rule came from.

This new regulation is clearly aimed at Tang Wulin.

Although the Blood God Legion has blacksmiths, their highest level is only level six. There isn't a single level seven blacksmith here, so if you want to soul-forge metal, you have to go out and ask someone else to forge it. If a Saint-level craftsman capable of soul-forging appears here, it's basically like shoving fish in a frying pan.

For a master blacksmith, acquiring merit is far too easy. If Tang Wulin were to attain such a high military rank so quickly, it wouldn't be a good thing for the Blood God Legion.

"Hmm." Cai Xukun listened to the middle-aged man's report, then waved his hand and said, "For the next period of time, continue to keep an eye on Tang Wulin's situation. If nothing unexpected happens, he won't stay here for long."

"Yes." The middle-aged man immediately left the room.

Cai Xukun turned his gaze to Elizabeth and asked, "How's the situation on your end?"

Elizabeth said leisurely, "We've already communicated with the Abyss Plane. In about six months, we'll launch a full-scale surprise attack in coordination with those Abyss creatures. Working together from within and without, we'll break through the Blood God Legion's blockade."

"After years of testing, we have secretly made some changes to those abyss passages. When the time comes to activate them, we will be able to allow some abyss kings to pass through the passages and officially arrive in the Douluo plane."

The most powerful abyssal creatures required sufficiently large passages to emerge. These passages were later sealed off by a coalition of powerful figures from various factions. Only the smaller passages remain, resulting in the current state of the abyssal passages.

There are currently hundreds of abyssal passages, but only thirty-six are of the highest level. The highest level refers to those passages accessible only to the highest-level abyssal creatures, such as those at the Title Douluo level.

Of course, it's not impossible to take action against stronger abyssal creatures, but the cost would be enormous. However, with the help of evil soul masters like Elizabeth, and with coordinated efforts from within and without, it wouldn't be difficult to lure down those super Douluo-level abyssal kings.

"However, this is a one-time opportunity. After all, the Blood God Legion's defense system is too strong, so we will conduct another test here. You can prepare in advance. In a while, the Abyss Plane will launch another large-scale Abyss Tide."

After years of effort, the Blood God Legion has built an extremely powerful defensive system, effective both internally and externally. Any abyssal creatures attempting to break out will suffer a devastating blow.

Although these evil soul masters have made contact with the Abyss Plane, it is still difficult for them to break through the Blood God Legion's blockade. Even with sufficient preparation, they only have one chance, so they must proceed with caution.

Elizabeth thought for a moment and continued, "In terms of strength, based on the Blood God Legion's assessment, it should be around level three. At the same time, there will be some Abyss Kings observing from the other side to see if there are any oversights."

"Level three intensity?" Cai Xukun muttered to himself, then asked, "Who's in command of this operation?"

The Abyss Tide refers to the idea that abyssal creatures will launch a large-scale attack on the Douluo plane.

Generally, abyssal tides are between level one and two, which are the normal abyssal tides, occurring periodically every few years. However, approximately every few decades, abyssal creatures launch a full-scale war, at which point the abyssal tides reach level three.

"It was commanded by a level 96 Super Douluo with the Martial Soul of Fallen Angel, along with myself, two other Super Douluos, and five Title Douluo-level Evil Soul Masters."

There are four Super Douluo and five Title Douluo!

"Tsk, they really went all out." Cai Xukun clicked his tongue, not expecting that the Holy Spirit Cult had so many hidden forces.

"Beep beep beep!!!"

Just as Cai Xukun was about to ask something else, a series of piercing alarms suddenly rang out in the Blood God Camp.

"It seems the Abyss Plane has already made its move," Elizabeth said thoughtfully.

"Beep beep beep." Just then, the Blood God Ring in Cai Xukun's hand began to flash.

"The abyssal creatures have launched an offensive, reaching level three intensity. All Blood Gods, please prepare immediately. Reinforcements are needed at the passages. Large numbers of abyssal creatures are attacking from the sixth, twenty-fifth, and thirty-first S-level passages. Please go and provide support immediately." The Legion Commander sent the notification through the Blood God Ring.

"Yes," Cai Xukun replied immediately, and then prepared to set off.

On the Abyss plane, initiating an Abyss Tide isn't so easy either. Of the thirty-six passages, only a maximum of three will experience an Abyss Tide at any given time. Therefore, it's unnecessary to defend them all.

Moreover, each passage is actually protected by shields. These are provided as a buffer for the Blood God Legion.

"Find a time later and leave quietly."

After saying something to Elizabeth, Cai Xukun immediately ran out of the Blood God Camp. His three-word battle armor appeared, and his body began to burn with blazing flames. He transformed his martial soul into a golden-winged roc and then soared into the sky.

……

"Boom boom boom!"

Even with the extreme speed of his martial spirit, by the time Cai Xukun arrived at the sixth passage, the battle had already reached a fever pitch.

Countless abyssal creatures, like locusts, continuously crawled out of the abyssal passage.

These abyssal creatures look extremely ferocious; if an ordinary person saw them, they would probably be terrified to death.

"Attack!" A commander's voice came from behind. Immediately afterwards, hundreds of orbs of light shot out. They were soul-guided cannonballs that drew parabolic arcs in the air and bombarded the cave entrance with perfect accuracy.

"boom--"

A deafening roar followed, and countless abyssal creatures were blasted to pieces in the explosion. Instantly, extremely intense energy fluctuations surged across the battlefield.

The ranged attacks from behind were relentless, clashing violently with the abyssal creatures that charged out.

Explosions came one after another, accompanied by piercing screams. The abyssal creatures seemed to have no blood at all; only thick, gray-black mist kept returning along the abyssal passage—that was the dead abyssal creatures.

On the Blood God Legion's side, the front line consisted entirely of heavily armored warriors skilled in close combat, while various soul-guided cannons were constantly firing from the rear, along with even more ranged attack warriors.

The close-combat battalion and the long-range combat battalion have a clear division of labor and cooperation.

In dealing with abyssal creatures, the Blood God Legion clearly has a very mature defense system.

The melee battalion has a total of one hundred mechs, all of which are at least purple-level, and there are even five black-level mechs. Outside, this wouldn't be a battalion, but a mech squadron! Equivalent to a regiment-level unit. But here, it's just a battalion.

Moreover, the melee battalion also has another hundred One-Word Battle Armor Masters. Their combat prowess is in no way inferior to that of the mech pilots.

A battalion typically consists of between three and five hundred men. However, the Blood God Legion's mechs are equipped with two people per mech, which maximizes the mech's power. One person's soul power is always less than that of two.

Of course, the most important factor is that the Blood God Legion doesn't have that many purple-level mechs. Purple-level mechs are already considered high-level mechs, and these things aren't easy to mass-produce.

As for white-level and yellow-level mechs? They're too low-level; it's more convenient to let the warriors fight on their own.

However, considering the large size of the mechs, they are not as effective as the Battle Armor Masters in small-scale battles.

Therefore, there are also one hundred Battle Armor Masters assisting. Although they are only one-word Battle Armor Masters, their combat power is absolutely not to be underestimated. In the entire melee camp, there are no Soul Masters with a cultivation level below the fourth ring.

If this were deployed outside, this single battalion could probably handle a division of 10,000 men without much trouble.

There are, of course, more than one melee battalion; there are three melee battalions deployed here. The ranged attack units behind them are fewer in number than the melee battalions in front. However, their firepower is undoubtedly the most effective at eliminating abyssal creatures.

Human technology has been continuously advancing, and new weapons are constantly being deployed on the battlefield. When the Blood God Legion was first established, it suffered more than 70% casualties in the first Abyss Tide, but the number of casualties has been decreasing in every subsequent war.

Even now, although people still die in battle, the number has been reduced to a certain range, making it much safer.

After arriving here, Cai Xukun did not take action immediately, but chose to stay in the air and oversee the situation.

While the abyssal tides are undoubtedly a tremendous test for the Blood God Legion, each powerful abyssal tide also brings a great deal of merit, making it a time for the soldiers to establish their achievements.

The Blood God Legion trains iron-blooded soldiers, not hothouse flowers, so it will not take action until the abyssal creatures have caused heavy casualties.

He would remain high in the sky, observing the overall situation while guarding against attacks from those powerful abyssal creatures.

A sound different from the roar rang out, and one of the mechs holding a shield in front of them took a few steps back. An abyssal creature was closing in!

Immediately following was an even more violent collision. The abyssal creatures charged with extreme ferocity. Amidst the dense crashing sounds, the mech warriors used all their energy to block and defend, while continuing to unleash massive damage from behind.

In an instant, the abyssal creatures' offensive was completely thwarted on the other side.

"roar--"

Just then, a series of dark shadows suddenly appeared in the sky. These shadows were enormous, and as soon as they appeared in mid-air, they brought immense pressure.

Cai Xukun looked over and saw that the black shadow had a head similar to that of a giant dragon, but its body was as big as a small mountain and covered with dark green scales.

It has three legs, a very strong upper body, exceptionally long arms, and each claw is over five meters in diameter. A huge tail trails behind it. It has four eyes, all gleaming with a scarlet light, and its entire aura is extremely ferocious.

Baan, a creature of the abyss.
