Soul Land 3: Legend Of The Dragon King

Chapter 1760



The battle raged for less than half an hour before the abyssal army retreated once again. During the course of the battle, countless low-tier abyssal creatures had been killed, and on this occasion, they had retreated to even further away, clearly in fear of being influenced by the aura of the secondary seed of life. This was the first victory that the human race had scored against the abyssal army, and the Northern Legion erupted into thunderous cheers, but Tang Wulin couldn't bring himself to celebrate with them.

It was clear that the abyssal creatures had already noticed the existence of the secondary tree of life, and it was undoubtedly going to become a primary target. It was difficult to say what types of powerful abyssal creatures were going to appear next, but thankfully, it didn't take long for the first batch of reinforcements to arrive.

A burst of rumbling akin to a chorus of thunderclaps rang out in the distance, following which an astonishing scene unfolded.

Over 300 large soul cargo planes appeared in the sky, and one figure after another slowly parachuted down toward the Northern Legion's territory.

Soldiers weren't the only things parachuting down from above; there were also mechas and many large soul tools.

One had to realize that each of these large soul cargo planes could carry 100 tons of cargo, and that wasn't even taking the mechas into account.

The 300 cargo planes were carrying over 30,000 elite troops, two mecha corps, and a huge amount of precious resources.

These were the reinforcements from the Central Legion.

The Central Legion was the most powerful legion, and it answered directly to the federal parliament.

After the resources and two elite mecha corps were mobilized, the first batch of reinforcements immediately set off, and they only arrived several hours after Tang Wulin and the others. This was already the best that the federation could do.

Regardless of what differences the Dove Faction and Eagle Faction had in the past, neither of them dared to delay in the face of such a formidable common foe. The abyssal plane was an enemy to this entire plane, and now that all factions were united in this common cause, the federal parliament had become extremely efficient.

As expected of an elite legion, as soon as the Central Legion's reinforcements arrived, they immediately began installing all types of soul tools while working with the Norther Legion to reconstruct the defensive line.

The two mecha corps also quickly arrived at the designated location to set up an initial defensive line.

The secondary tree of life naturally drew the attention of the Central Legion, and after communicating with the Northern Legion, the commander of the reinforcements was led by Guo Zhenfeng to the mountaintop where Tang Wulin was situated.

This was a young military official who appeared to only be in his thirties, but was already wearing major general epaulets. It was clear that he was another bright rising star in the military.

A hint of surprise appeared in his eye as he caught sight of Tang Wulin, who was even younger than he was, but he quickly recomposed himself and extended a military salute.

"The commander of the Central Legion's third division, Shao Lifeng, pays his respects to the esteemed Sect Master Tang and Limit Douluos."

Tang Wulin smiled, and said, "There's no need for such formalities, Commander Shao. Thank you for arriving in such a timely fashion; more reinforcements are on the way."

Shao Lifeng nodded in response before taking a glance at the secondary tree of life, upon which a hint of shock flashed through his eyes.

Both he and Guo Zhenfeng could sense the enormous life energy contained within the secondary tree of life, and even just basking in the aura of the secondary tree of life, both of them could feel their own fatigue and exhaustion rapidly fading away.

This was a captivating feeling, and they wanted to stay here forever.

A faint smile appeared on Tang Wulin's face as he raised his right hand, and two greenish-golden halos immediately descended upon the pair of commanders. Both of them were instantly struck by an indescribable sense of comfort, as if all of their pores had opened up at once. In particular, Guo Zhenfeng had just experienced a grueling battle, so the effect on him was much more pronounced.

The Holy Spirit Douluo had healed his body, but this life energy was nurturing the very core of his being, instantly wiping away all of his exhaustion and making him feel as if he were 10 years younger! Even if he had to go through that battle again right at this moment, he wouldn't have any issues.

Tang Wulin could see the amazement and befuddlement in Guo Zhenfeng's eyes, and he explained, "This is a projection of Shrek Academy's tree of life. Truth be told, the reason the abyssal army turned around to attack us again was because they sensed the aura of this secondary tree of life. Abyssal creatures are obsessed with devouring life energy, and the life energy within the tree of life is of the planar level. In fact, it could even be said that the tree of life represents all life energy on the entire Douluo Plane.

"Its existence presents irresistible allure to abyssal creatures, so I must implore the two of you to pay extra attention to defending this secondary tree of life when setting up the defensive line. With this secondary tree of life here, we'll be able to save more troops and bolster the defensive line so long as we keep it safe."

Shao Lifeng immediately replied, "That's not an issue; I'll get that arranged right away. Thank you for your assistance."

Having experienced the benefits that the tree of life could provide firsthand, his heart was full of astonishment. He was also a Titled Douluo, and at this level, all Soul Masters yearned strongly for life energy as further progression in cultivation could only take place through fundamental evolutions in one's life force. Without a sufficiently powerful body, how could one act as a vessel for more power?

He could clearly sense that if he could constantly cultivate beside this secondary tree of life, then not only would his rate of cultivation be enhanced, even his lifespan would most likely be extended. This was a truly priceless treasure, and it was a reflection of Shrek Academy's wealth as the number one academy on the continent.

Shao Lifeng had already made up his mind that he was going to do everything in his power to establish good relations with Shrek Academy.

He had naturally already identified everyone in Tang Wulin's group, particularly Tang Wulin himself. This was someone who had defeated the Spirit Pagoda Chairman with a single attack! Even a veteran Limit Douluo like Qiangu Dongfeng was unable to withstand a single attack from him, yet he was still so young. In the future, he was definitely going to be one of the leading figures of the Soul Masters.

Furthermore, he was accompanied by the Holy Spirit Douluo, who could play a more significant role than any other Limit Douluo on a battlefield.

Other Limit Douluos would be destructive forces of nature on a battlefield, but the Holy Spirit Douluo could save millions of people! With her on the battlefield, it would be difficult for allies to die even if they wanted to!

He had already heard from Guo Zhenfeng that Shrek Academy and the Tang Sect had sent five Limit Douluos here, and that if it weren't for their timely arrival, the defensive line would've already crumbled. Even though the first batch of reinforcements had arrived, the overall power of the human army was still quite lackluster, so they would have to rely heavily upon Tang Wulin's group to hold this defensive line. As such, it was important to establish good relations with them.

As the two commanders departed, they were still quite reluctant to leave. The aura of the secondary tree of life was extremely appealing to them as well.

The grey energy in the air had already been sucked away in its entirety, and Tang Wulin could clearly sense the yearning that the tree of life was transmitting to him through the secondary tree.

The slain abyssal creatures had yielded quite a large quantity of life energy, but the caliber of life energy they could produce was still far inferior to that of higher abyssal life forms. Only the more powerful abyssal creatures could provide more enormous life energy of a higher caliber, which was what the tree of life needed the most.

All Tang Wulin could do now was wait for more powerful abyssal creatures to appear. He didn't dare to take any risks. Perhaps the top-tier abyssal creatures were still yet to emerge from the passageway, but the powerful beings of the Holy Spirit Cult were definitely waiting in the shadows. Among them, the mysterious sovereign was the one who inspired the most fear.

The two emperors of the Holy Spirit Cult were already quasigods; just how powerful would the sovereign be? Surely they had to be infinitely approaching godhood.
