I've roughly organized my thoughts on the remaining plot points today, so I can continue updating frequently. I'm going to sleep now though; my sleep schedule has been a bit disrupted for the past two weeks. I haven't been going to bed until 7 or 8 am every morning, and I don't wake up until almost dinnertime. This outline-organizing session will help me adjust my sleep schedule. Tomorrow I'll update one chapter before 6 pm and another before midnight, and that should be my schedule from now on.
Chapter 447 Abyss Tide (Please subscribe!!! A long chapter of 5,000 words)
"finally coming?"
Xue Er looked serious.
With Xue Yi absent, he is now the strongest in the Blood God Camp and should step forward to handle any emergencies.
"Where's Blood One?" Xu Yuan looked around and asked.
Although he raised the question, Xu Yuan himself had the answer in his heart: Xue Yi, also known as Cao Dezhi, should be near the Abyss Passage at this moment.
“The boss hasn’t been back for at least a week. He said he was going to check the situation inside the abyss passage when he left,” Xue Qi said with a solemn expression.
“Blood One should be able to detect the anomaly in the Abyss Passage. The Legion should start making the necessary preparations now. I believe Blood One will appear when the great battle truly breaks out,” Blood Three said.
She seemed to have an inexplicable trust in Xue Yi.
Xu Yuan didn't dwell on this point.
He estimated that Blood One was now in a state of deep meditation.
The moment the abyssal tide arrives will not be the most difficult moment for the Blood God Legion, and the impact on the abyssal legion is not something that Cao Dezhi alone can eliminate.
On the contrary, the changes in the primordial dream space at the moment the abyss tide descended were of great significance to him.
What would happen if a virtual space built upon a spatial passage between two planes were suddenly altered in its foundation?
The current Primal Dream Space exists on the soil of the two planes, Douluo Star and Abyss. If the Abyss Tide erupts, the entire area where the Primal Dream Space is located will be covered by the laws of the Abyss, affected by the Abyss, and temporarily transformed into a part of the Abyss.
In that case, the original dream space relies on the abyss.
However, while the foundation has changed, the state of those who have integrated into the space remains the same.
Xu Yuan now hopes that Cao Dezhi will not be too frightened and break free from the control of the Seventh Forbidden Law of the Absolute Primal Dream Space, but will continue to persevere until that moment arrives.
"This opportunity will allow him to see many things more clearly."
Upon receiving the news, the Blood God Camp immediately issued orders, and the entire Blood God Legion sprang into action.
In just ten minutes, all the soldiers of the Blood God Legion had completed their assembly.
Such a large-scale mobilization made each soldier realize the truth.
"Warriors of the Blood God Legion!"
The Blood God Legion gathered in a plaza directly facing the abyss passage.
What appears to be a plaza is actually a battlefield of carnage.
Once the abyss tide becomes too intense, the battlefield will spread to this area. In other words, this plaza is stained with the blood of countless soul masters, and it is the last line of defense that they desperately tried to hold onto.
A figure was flying in mid-air high above the square.
The void around him seemed to freeze, and a dazzling suit of battle armor appeared to materialize from the void.
The battle armor seemed to come alive and attached itself to his body. Then, the energy spread outwards, enveloping the entire plaza. Every area covered by the energy became a domain.
"Void Armor Condensation, Domain Substance—this is a four-word battle armor!"
Each soldier gazed eagerly at the figure high in the sky, their hearts burning with boundless passion.
This is the ultimate power of a Soul Master!
With Zhang Huanyun, a four-word battle armor master, stepping in, the morale of the entire legion instantly stabilized. The oppressive atmosphere caused by the arrival of the abyss tide instantly changed, and waves of passion surged.
Xu Yuan watched the whole scene, and a thought suddenly struck him.
"Does Zhang Huanyun's domain have a built-in incentive effect?"
After all, Zhang Huanyun is a very special existence. He is only level 98, but he has fused with a four-word battle armor, which is something that ordinary soul masters cannot do.
So far, there are only a handful of people who have achieved the four-word Battle Armor Master title without actually being a Limit Douluo.
Besides the lack of materials, the key is whether the armor itself can withstand the four-word battle armor, because the four-word battle armor is a qualitative change compared to the three-word battle armor. A piece of Heavenly Forged Metal already has true life characteristics, let alone a battle armor made of a whole set of Heavenly Forged Metal.
This set of battle armor has already mastered some of the mysteries of spatial laws, possesses certain life instincts and characteristics, and may even make some self-selections when it senses the arrival of a devastating disaster.
The Void Armor has been formed because the four-word battle armor is no longer constantly fused within the Soul Master's body, but has instead merged into the entire void surrounding the Soul Master.
The final step in creating the four-word battle armor, activating and fusing it, is a test in itself. Even just awakening this set of four-word battle armor requires the battle armor master to instantly expend more than one-third of their blood to nourish it.
The instant loss of one-third of one's blood is not fatal, but it will definitely put a Battle Armor Master into the weakest state. And since this is the first time fusing with Battle Armor, it is easy to be crushed by the terrifying oppressive power of Battle Armor.
Currently, Xu Yuan knows that the only non-Limit Douluo who possess four-word battle armor are Mu Ye and Zhen Hua.
Mu Ye needs no further explanation. His body possesses immense blood and qi, which is estimated to be able to replace the effects of blood to help him awaken his battle armor. Furthermore, his physique is capable of withstanding the pressure of the four-word battle armor.
Zhenhua is the direct creator of the Heavenly Forged Metal, like a biological father to him. The pressure from the Battle Armor itself may be reduced, and Zhenhua's physical attributes are definitely not low.
What's so special about Zhang Huanyun?
Xu Yuan felt that his command of the entire Blood God Legion might be the key, and it was not impossible that a domain with legion-like characteristics could be derived from this.
"Warriors, for six thousand years, countless predecessors of the Blood God Legion have sacrificed their lives!" Zhang Huanyun spoke passionately, mobilizing the morale of the entire army.
"Today, the abyssal tide has reached an unprecedented level four, which will break through our defense system. Danger has arrived. We cannot escape, nor should we!"
The abyssal tides are differentiated into levels. The first and second level abyssal tides cannot even leave the abyssal passage; they are merely an eruption of abyssal energy that greatly increases the number of abyssal creatures within the entire abyssal passage.
In reality, only a level three abyssal tide can pose a significant threat to the Blood God Legion.
However, the level three Abyss Tide can still be defended in an orderly manner by the large number of soul-guided formations deployed by the Blood God Legion.
What's truly terrifying is the level four abyssal tide.
Zhang Huanyun's mood was extremely heavy at this moment.
Level four means that at least the emperors from the top ten levels of the Abyss will make a move, along with at least three ordinary Abyss emperors who will make a move simultaneously.
Even the abyssal energy from a level four abyssal tide eruption is enough to create an environment for the Abyssal Saint to make his move.
In the past six thousand years, whenever the Abyss Saint King managed to hold out 'easily' in the Level 4 Abyss Tide, killing more than 60% of the Abyss creatures and even reducing the Blood God Legion's losses to no more than 30%, he would be enraged and personally intervene to even out the losses on both sides.
This is the most frustrating thing.
That's also the most indignant.
This is the most desperate point for the Blood God Legion's leadership.
Each time the abyssal tide reaches level four, they struggle to fight and kill enemies while also being unable to achieve significant results.
It's utterly ironic.
Of course, in most cases, even with all-out resistance, it is difficult to achieve such fruitful results.
"Gentlemen, the new soul-guided weapons have been issued. The Abyss is no longer a disaster. The death of any Abyss creature is a reward for us. Their Abyss energy will be converted into stellar energy that we can absorb to promote our cultivation. Every Abyss creature we kill is an enhancement for us!"
"All warriors of the Blood God Legion, join me in defending our homeland!"
Zhang Huanyun's domain expanded, and behind him, a huge round mirror appeared, illuminating the area between the abyss passage and the plaza. The area illuminated by the light seemed to form another domain.
The overlap between the Battle Armor Domain and Zhang Huanyun's own Domain boosted the morale of the Blood God Legion's soldiers, and the invasion of Abyss Energy did not bring the usual sense of oppression.
Today, Zhang Huanyun is going to challenge that line.
New type of soul-guided weapon
Looking down at the battle armor he was wearing, Zhang Huanyun murmured, "Old friend, lend me a hand."
In the void affected by the expansion of his four-word battle armor, patterns appeared and disappeared, so dense and complex that they made one dizzy.
Extracting some of the patterns reveals that they can form several core nodes in Xu Yuan's new soul-guided weapon.
"Cao Dezhi, Cao Dezhi, this time you have to risk your life to block the Abyss Saint King's attack for me. As for the Abyss Emperor, I'll take care of him all by myself!"
Zhang Huanyun changed her usual strategy, opting not for defense but for counterattack.
He took the lead, and with the four-word battle armor fully activated, the light emanating from the terrifying round mirror on his back instantly became like a scorching ray. This ray had nothing to do with the soul masters of the Blood God Legion, but it was like the blazing sun on snow when it fell on the abyss creatures.
The abyssal creatures melted away, and the abyssal energy that advanced after death was devoured by the domain shrouded in his four-word battle armor.
Xu Yuan watched this scene from afar, feeling quite alarmed.
Thanks to his connection with the original dream space, he immediately sensed the changes within it, and the machine that had been prepared for this moment instantly started operating.
No preheating is even required.
The massive energy source activated the transformation array within the entire primordial dream space, causing it to operate at full capacity in an instant.
This also means that even in the early stages of the war, the soul-guided weapons in the soldiers' hands could acquire star energy without delay after absorbing the energy of the abyssal creatures they killed.
This is crucial; it can save many lives.
"Could it be that Zhang Huanyun is planning to break through using this abyssal tide?" Xu Yuan's eyes twitched as he watched this scene.
Such terrifying killing efficiency will definitely attract the attention of the Abyss Saint King, right?
With so much abyssal energy, I'm afraid that if he were to trigger it, the primordial dream space wouldn't be able to hold on.
However, Xu Yuan soon sensed a burst of power within the primordial dream space. It was Cao Dezhi's power, which he used to stabilize the space with the Seven Forbidden Techniques.
Cao Dezhi's understanding of the Seven Forbidden Techniques may be inadequate, but his power is sufficient. Using the Seven Forbidden Techniques to suppress the Primal Dream Space is still quite effective, at least to a degree that Xu Yuan could not achieve.
Xu Yuan took a deep breath.
