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

Chapter 549 The King of the Abyss

"Attack! Attack!"

Nan Fusheng also pretended to give orders, but he knew very well that with their current equipment, it was extremely unrealistic to expect them to repel the abyssal creatures that were surging like a tide.

However, he still took over the command, after all, his colonel clone was one of the commanders here.

The battle continues fiercely.

This was a battle to the death, and no one tried to escape, because they all knew very well that once the Abyss Passage fell, there was no way they could escape.

The warriors of the Blood God Legion have all witnessed the horrors of the abyssal creatures, and for that very reason, they are even more determined to protect their homeland.

What's more, the vast majority of their families are in the Blood God Legion's camp! Their cowardice will only bring devastating disaster to their families.

The piercing alarm sounded throughout the Blood God Legion's camp, and squads of white figures moved in an orderly fashion toward the abyss passage.

"Requesting backup! Requesting backup! A massive number of abyssal creatures are pouring out of the main abyssal passage. We urgently need heavy weapon support, we need devastating weapons! Hurry, hurry, hurry!"

The distress signal had already been sent back, and the vice-captain of the Ironblood Squad was hovering at the edge of the passage entrance in his black-level mech, watching the abyssal creatures below warily.

Without a doubt, the blockade at the main exit is the most stringent and has the strongest attack power. Under the crossfire of the blockade, even those bloodthirsty abyssal creatures cannot break through directly.

However, the Ironblood Squad leader's expression grew increasingly grim, because, illuminated by the light from the soul-guided rays and soul-guided cannons, he could clearly see that the density of abyssal creatures inside the abyssal passage was constantly increasing, becoming more and more numerous.

At first, only four-clawed and six-clawed bats flew outwards, but now, various reptilian abyssal creatures are crawling along the edge of the passage. Even more abyssal creatures are appearing.

Some of the larger creatures remained below, gazing upwards with cold eyes. None of them rushed out, clearly waiting for something.

"Awooo—" A frenzied roar suddenly echoed from the depths of the abyss passage. Immediately afterward, the numerous abyssal creatures below quickly parted, and the six-clawed demon emperor, standing a hundred meters tall, appeared, surrounded by the many abyssal creatures.

It suddenly swung its body, and countless dark red orbs of light shot out, heading straight for the exit of the abyss passage. At the same time, behind it, a pair of huge bat wings spread out, almost two hundred meters in diameter, and with a powerful flap, it flew towards the exit of the passage.

"All soul tools, activate overload power!" Looking at the six-clawed demon emperor in front of him, Nan Fusheng immediately ordered the soldiers around him who were responsible for controlling the soul tools.

The six-clawed demon emperor before him, in his perception, already possessed an aura comparable to a Super Douluo. This meant that the creature before him was most likely a king from the 108th level of the Abyss, and that it was actually its true form descending.

These are not the projections of the past! The strength of each Abyss Plane King is at least comparable to that of a Super Douluo, or even stronger, after all, they have physiques far exceeding those of humans.

"Too weak." Nan Fusheng thought to himself. Although this level of guy has some strength, if possible, Nan Fusheng hoped to find a stronger Abyss King as an avatar.

That's right, he wanted to parasitize the Abyss King in order to better observe the movements of the Abyss plane.

He once gave Cai Xukun a few Time Worms, instructing him to use them to parasitize ordinary abyssal creatures during battles, hoping to gain an opportunity to observe the abyssal plane, but the results were disappointing.

Once those abyssal creatures were killed and returned to the abyssal plane, his parasitism would cease to function, which inevitably disappointed Nan Fusheng.

However, this is inevitable, after all, parasitism is not a panacea.

To this end, Nan Fusheng conducted a special study for a period of time before discovering that it was not that his parasitism was ineffective against the abyssal creatures, but rather that the parasitism was ineffective because the abyssal creatures parasitized by the Time Worm died.

That's right, abyssal creatures can indeed be said to be immortal, but what is immortal is their energy, not their soul.

Those low-level abyssal creatures are nothing special, since they have no intelligence at all and are more like wild beasts. When they die, they will be regenerated into new abyssal creatures through the mechanisms of the abyssal plane.

But those Abyss Kings are different. They are quite intelligent and cherish their lives very much. Dying once or twice in Douluo Continent may not be a big deal, but if they die too many times, they will really die.

How could there possibly be anything truly immortal in this world? If they were really that powerful, they would have already destroyed the Blood God Legion's seal by self-destructing without fear of death.

It's all thanks to the Abyss's mechanics. Low-level Abyss creatures are fearless and can resurrect infinitely. This ability to spawn troops is what leaves the Blood God Legion helpless.

Since parasitizing lower-level creatures failed, Nan Fusheng naturally set his sights on higher-level abyssal creatures. Since he'd already decided to seek out high-level abyssal creatures, he might as well go for the strongest one at once. So!

The Abyss King became Nan Fusheng's target!

The Abyss Kings, who control one of the 108 layers of the Abyss, have a high enough status to not die as easily as ordinary Abyss creatures.

It can be said that as long as Nan Fusheng can parasitize an Abyss King, as long as the other party's soul is not completely dead, his parasitism will not be broken, since his Time Worm parasitizes the soul.

However, the kings of the Abyss Plane have never been able to truly descend upon the Douluo Plane; at most, they can only project a portion of their power over there. This has prevented Nan Fusheng from ever finding an opportunity to parasitize.

However, now that the Abyss Passage has been opened by the Evil Soul Masters, those Abyss Kings can truly descend into the Douluo Plane, and Nan Fusheng's opportunity has naturally arrived.

The violent roar turned the area below into a fiery red explosion. All the light spheres released by the Six-Clawed Demon Emperor were blocked by the Soul Guiding Ray, but its massive body also crashed into the Soul Guiding Ray.

Soul-guided rays and cannonballs rained down on it, exploding into bursts of sparks that turned its body crimson, instantly suppressing its upward momentum. However, it shielded the abyssal creatures behind it from most of the attacks, and a large number of abyssal creatures surged upwards from around its body.

"High-explosive shells!" Nan Fusheng quickly gave the order, to first repel the six-clawed demon emperor in front of them, so that they could force the Abyss Plane to send out an even stronger king.

Clusters of incandescent orbs of light exploded below, covering the entire abyss passage.

Although the Six-Clawed Demon Emperor was powerful, it could only withstand such dense artillery fire for a dozen seconds before it began to give way. Its massive body plummeted, avoiding a large number of soul-guided rays and artillery shells.

"In that case, they should send out even stronger guys." Nan Fusheng let out a long sigh of relief. The Blood God Legion's preparations over the years had not been in vain. This blockade was specifically designed for demigods.

Having finally opened the passage, those abyssal creatures will definitely not give up so easily; even stronger ones will probably make their move soon.

"The soul guide device's energy is also running low. If no one comes to support us, we'll have no choice but to retreat." Nan Fusheng took a moment to glance at the energy reserves of the soul guide array.

Energy is finite, and sufficient energy must be replenished for the defensive position to continue to exert such tremendous power.

Watching the bursts of dense fog being absorbed back into the abyss passage, Nan Fusheng remained expressionless. After all, no matter how many people were killed, the abyss dimension could always regenerate.

If the abyssal creatures could be truly destroyed, then the wars of the past six thousand years, even if it was just a period of attrition, would have suppressed and reduced their overall strength.

Just then, in the distance, squads of Blood God Legion soldiers appeared, along with various machines. They quickly took up their posts, replaced integrated batteries, replenished energy, and rapidly occupied various defensive positions around the passage.

More soul-guided cannons were built, more soldiers joined, and mechs formed a solemn array around the main exit of the abyss passage, ready to be deployed into battle at any time.

"How is it?" A massive mech descended from the sky and landed beside the colonel whom Nan Fusheng was inhabiting.

Upon seeing this, Nan Fusheng quickly saluted and honestly reported, "Reporting to Regiment Commander Ma Shan, we have temporarily held them off, but our brothers have likely fallen in numbers exceeding four battalions."

"What?" Ma Shan was taken aback. The sudden alarm made him realize that the abyss tide had probably appeared, because only the abyss tide could bring such a loud alarm.

But he never expected it to be this serious. The total number of soldiers who have died in the past century combined is only this many!

Every Blood God Legion warrior was an absolute elite, and the loss of so many was heartbreaking. Moreover, he knew very well that at this moment, the main force guarding the passage was his own Iron Blood Legion!

"Damn it!" Ma Shan roared.

Ma Shan's breathing was noticeably unstable. Although he was usually short-tempered, he was genuinely good to his men and was deeply loved by the Ironblood Regiment's warriors.

Upon hearing that so many people had died, and that nearly a third of the Ironblood Gang's manpower had been lost here, he could no longer remain calm!

"I'll fight them to the death!" Ma Shan raised his hand and took off the giant spiked club from the back of the mecha, ready to rush towards the abyss passage.

"No way, are you that reckless?" Nan Fusheng was a little stunned. He didn't expect this guy to be so reckless. With Nan Fusheng's current strength as a host to this colonel, he couldn't stop Ma Shan. After all, Ma Shan's strength was that of an eight-ring Soul Douluo.

Fortunately, at that moment, a figure suddenly appeared beside him. It was a human who was not wearing a mecha. He suddenly placed a hand on Ma Shan's shoulder, which made Ma Shan's huge black mecha stop instantly and prevented him from rushing out.

"Ma Shan, you brat, calm down. This isn't the time for you to go crazy. Something's definitely wrong. Go and take charge of your men." The deep voice was like a spell, instantly calming the impulsive Ma Shan down.

"Commander, you must avenge our brothers!" Ma Shan's voice trembled slightly, not from sadness, but from extreme anger.

"Okay." Zhang Huanyun patted Ma Shan's mecha. "Go and command your brothers. There will be times when you'll fight tooth and nail."

"Yes!" Ma Shan shouted and led his deputy commander away.

Zhang Huanyun was dressed in military uniform, with three general's stars shining brightly on his shoulders. With his arrival, the command of the entire Blood God Legion naturally fell into his hands.

With his arrival, the Blood God Legion's blockade became noticeably more organized. The soldiers' emotions also stabilized considerably.

This is where personal charisma lies. Zhang Huanyun has been in the Blood God Legion for sixty years. He himself is the backbone of the legion. It is because of his existence that the Blood God Legion has such cohesion and has reached its strongest point in six thousand years.

The charge of the abyssal creatures below weakened somewhat as the Six-Clawed Demon Emperor retreated. Zhang Huanyun began issuing orders, and the attacks of the blockade line's soul-guided rays and soul-guided cannonballs also decreased accordingly.

Save energy!

More and more defensive equipment was transported over and quickly deployed.

For thousands of years, the Blood God Legion has made countless preparations to deal with the Abyss Plane, including various arrangements at the exit of the Abyss Passage.

In addition to the original defensive positions, there are many basic fortifications prepared. Once the defensive soul guides are delivered, they can be immediately combined with these fortifications to form a complete large-scale defensive position.

Squads of soldiers quickly set off, and without Zhang Huanyun's personal instructions, they had already entered their combat readiness positions, ready to be replaced at any time.

One by one, figures quickly arrived at this location.

Xue Yi appeared silently beside Zhang Huanyun, his brows furrowed. Even without Zhang Huanyun saying anything, he could tell that something was wrong.

The situation before them was beyond their expectations. The abyssal tide had only just ended, yet the abyssal plane had launched another full-scale attack. They had seen the situation before arriving, thanks to their monitors.

The situation was very bad, because they had absolutely no idea why these abyssal creatures had come out of the main passage, and that was the most important question.

If this problem isn't solved, abyssal creatures will continue to pour out of the main passage. No matter how much energy they have, it will eventually run out.

Abyssal creatures never truly die; their energy is inexhaustible, and so is the supply of abyssal creatures.

Zhang Huanyun was confident that he could blockade the defensive positions and prevent the abyssal creatures from breaking out. With the legion's energy reserves, they could defend for three months without any problem.

But what about three months later?
