Soul Land 3: Legend Of The Dragon King

Chapter 1766



"Compared to back then, the abyssal plane is even more developed, so it'll most likely be even more difficult to combat it. Currently, we're not sure how many abyssal sovereigns are able to descend onto our Douluo Continent. Those are all quasigods, and the further ahead they're ranked, the more powerful they'll be. Even the Black Sovereign is only ranked ninth; I recall the commander of the abyssal army 6,000 years ago was the third-ranked abyssal sovereign, who was so powerful that even three quasigods on our side combined found it difficult to repress them.

"In the end, two of the quasigods had to be sacrificed just to severely wound them. Last time, the Holy Lord had already lashed out over at the Blood God Legion, and my greatest concern is whether he'll be able to truly descend into our plane. If that happens, it'll truly be a terrible disaster."

Tang Wulin faltered slightly upon hearing this. "Surely the possibility of that is very low. Prior to setting off, I specifically asked the tree of life about this, and the answer it gave me was quite vague, but it sounded like it wouldn't be an easy task for the Holy Lord to descend onto our plane."

Yali was rather surprised to hear this. "What did the tree of life say?"

Tang Wulin replied, "The tree of life said that all planes had their own laws, which strongly rejected other planes. Unless one plane is already far superior to another, the ruler of that former plane definitely won't be able to descend into the latter because they'll encounter extremely fierce resistance. Essentially, they'll be contending with the entirety of our plane. Unless..."

Tang Wulin paused here momentarily before continuing, "Unless there's a being of a similar caliber to that planar ruler willing to sacrifice themselves as a vessel; only then will there be a possibility. The abyssal plane shouldn't be more powerful than our plane; it's just that they're more adept at devouring others, so they'll be more difficult for us to combat. Furthermore, the Holy Lord may be powerful, but he's not necessarily more powerful than our Douluo Continent's planar ruler; it's just that our planar ruler has no concrete form."

Yali nodded in response. "I hope that's all true. In that case, it really is next to impossible for the Holy Lord to descend onto our plane. He is a true god, and there's no godly being currently on our Douluo Continent. Even if one appears, there's no way they'll be willing to sacrifice themselves as a vessel for the Holy Lord. If one has already attained godhood, there'll be no reason for them to work with the abyssal plane, so even the Holy Spirit Cult wouldn't do something like that."

Tang Wulin said, "If the Holy Spirit Cult had a god among their ranks, they would've most likely already conquered the entire continent. Take some rest, Mother; I'll look after things here."

"You can both go and have some rest; I'll always be here." Tong Yu's voice rang out as he arrived beside Tang Wulin and Yali.

Ever since arriving on the Douluo Continent, Tong Yu was still somewhat unaccustomed to everything here. He had already been a Limit Douluo for quite some time, and he had gradually cultivated to the demigod level.

Back when he first arrived on the Douluo Continent, he had thought that there would most likely be very few other people also at the demigod level, even on the Douluo Continent.

However, after finding Tang Wulin and settling down in Shrek Academy, he gradually came to discover just how much more powerful the Douluo Continent was compared with the Star Luo Continent.

He had already been extremely stunned to meet Long Yeyue and Yali, but after that came the two Limit Douluos of the Yuanen Family, then the two Limit Douluos of the Tang Sect. By the time he met Body Douluo A'Ruheng, he already felt numb to it all.

Just Shrek Academy alone had over five Limit Douluos, two of which were quasigods!

One had to realize that he and En Ci were the only two Limit Douluos on the entire Star Luo Continent; the difference in power was simply astounding.

However, the biggest surprise for him had come on this day.

Upon witnessing the three quasigods that were leading the abyssal army, Tong Yu had already prepared himself to sacrifice his own life to save Tang Wulin at any moment should it be required.

Not only were there three quasigods, two of them were Evil Soul Masters, and under normal circumstances, Evil Soul Masters were more powerful than normal Soul Masters of the same cultivation rank.

There were five Limit Douluos among the allied forces, but Tang Wulin still wasn't a true Limit Douluo, and there was only one person among them who had only recently reached the quasigod level.

In Tong Yu's eyes, Yali's most prominent attribute had always been her beauty, and he never thought that she would possess much combat prowess.

Of course, this was also his first time ever seeing a healing system Limit Douluo. He knew that her healing abilities would have a significant effect on the entire battlefield, but he was convinced that she wouldn't be of much use in battle against the most powerful beings of the opposing army.

However, only after Yali unleashed her Archangel's Holy Spirit Dance did he come to realize just how wrong he had been.

To the opposing army, her Archangel's Holy Spirit Dance was like an omnipotent curse, severely debilitating the three enemy quasigods and turning the entire battlefield on its head. In contrast, all of the allies had been enhanced to different degrees, and he had actually benefited the most due to his five-elemental powers.

The five elements stemmed directly from nature, and under the influence of Archangel's Holy Spirit Dance, all of the elements had become extremely active, vigorously vanquishing evil and rejecting the enemy. Essentially, she had managed to amplify the power of the planar ruler. Was this something that a Soul Master was supposed to be capable of? Surely even a god wouldn't have been able to do much better in her shoes!

As such, even now, Tong Yu was still struggling to process what he had just witnessed. The power that Yali had displayed on this day was definitely superior to that of any quasigod, and it was difficult to believe that this kindhearted and constantly smiling woman could be capable of making such a massive difference.

In the wake of what had just transpired, he was forced to see Yali through new eyes, and he had developed a genuine sense of admiration toward her.

"Alright, we'll be counting on you then." Tang Wulin made no attempt to refuse Tong Yu's offer.

Even now, he was still feeling rather strange about Tong Yu, and to be honest, he didn't really know how to face him. As soon as Tong Yu had arrived at Shrek Academy, he immediately expressed a willingness to give his own life at any moment to atone for his mistakes.

However, who could actually say who was right or wrong under those circumstances?

Even though Tang Wulin had given Tong Yu a place to stay in the academy, he still struggled to truly accept Tong Yu as an ally. All he wanted now was to reunite with his birth parents, as well as his foster parents; Tang Ziran had to be the one to deliver the final verdict on Tong Yu.

A peaceful night passed by.

The abyssal army had retreated in a very complete manner. At the very least, there was no trace of them to be seen from the defensive line.

News had been delivered by the Northsea Legion overnight, stating that the construction of defensive infrastructure out at sea was complete, so they were ready to deal with any changes at any time.

The arrival of the Northsea Legion finally allowed the Northern Legion to heave a sigh of relief. At the very least, the current defensive line seemed to be sufficiently fortified.

The second batch of reinforcements finally arrived, and it came from the Central Legion. As expected of the most elite legion in the federation; all of the troops were delivered in a mechanized process, and a large number of soul trains had been utilized. In the short span of just two days, most of the Central Legion's troops had appeared on the border of the continent's northernmost region, and they had taken over the defensive line.

To no one's surprise, Guo Zhenfeng was rewarded for his efforts in the initial defense. Even though the Northern Legion had suffered heavy losses, losing more of its troops during the course of the initial resistance, the legion had managed to restrict the enemy from reaching further inland, and that was already a massively impressive feat.

The army headquarters had promised that it would replenish troops for the Northern Legion as quickly as possible after the war, and that it definitely wouldn't be revoking the Northern Legion as a military unit. As for the specific reward for Guo Zhenfeng himself, that would have to be decided after the battle.

With the arrival of the Central Legion's forces came another mysterious branch of the military. They set up camp on the mountaintop where the secondary tree of life was situated, and a small barracks quickly took shape around the secondary tree of life.
