Chapter 375: Emerald in the Abyss
Abyssal Plane, fortieth floor.
Tang Wulin and the others had already plowed through the last forty floors of the abyssal plane. Similar to what they did on the first floor, they slaughtered their way while following the path of the abyssal creatures.
As similar to the first floor, they were delivering resources to the Floor Guardian who would then be transported up.
They all suspected it was going to the last floor or at the very least the last few floors that were at the top.
The reason, they didn't quite understand as none of the floor guardians or abyssal creatures so far knew.
Even with Tang Wulin examining their history, he couldn't find out anything as he ripped the abyssal creature's memories.
Nothing related to their transportation of the resources.
'It's too quiet... Why hasn't he detected us yet?' Thought Tang Wulin as he jumps down on the cliffs with the others following behind him.
"Do you think he is busy with something?" Questioned Yggdrasil as her gentle voice rang out.
"But what could be more important than stopping the destruction of his plane? Unless he is trying to get strong enough to become a God-King?" Zeref's voice rang out.
"Impossible, from the moment we came to this plane, I didn't sense any disturbance or a tremendous amount of energy concentration. It's safe to say that he isn't focusing on absorbing any origin energy at the moment."
"Besides even if he tries, I doubt he has the required energy to breakthrough." Sleipnir's voice rang out this time causing Yggdrasil to nod her head.
"He would need to absorb the Douluo Planet and a few more planets for him to push himself to the God-King level."
'So why isn't he responding?' Thought Tang Wulin with an inward frown.
"Trap?"
'But why, though? He should have full control over this plane; he could easily teleport or spring the trap in any of the floors we came upon.' Thought Tang Wulin.
"Hmm, for now just focus on absorbing the planar energy and raising your strength-"
"Yes human! Keep sending that planar energy here, I'm starving for more!" Tao Tie's cheerful voice rang out, causing Zeref's lips to twitch.
"You spoiled her..."
"Shut up blacky!"
"Blacky?"
Tang Wulin inwardly laughed at Tao Tie's nickname for Zeref but maybe he was right that he was spoiling them. As he has been sending most of the planar energy to his soul rings, allowing them to grow and get stronger.
Properly looking at them, Tang Wulin could just sense how his first three rings had evolved past the hundred thousand-year age. They went all the way to the age of six hundred thousand, turning orange-gold.
While his fourth soul ring had evolved from two hundred thousand to eight hundred thousand. With it also gaining hues of gold on its rings like the other but in far greater intensity.
Yun Ming and the others didn't know that his ring had undergone a terrifying and good evolution.
As it would have left them shocked considering that Tang Wulin rings gain over five hundred thousand years in just a few hours.
Tang Wulin could feel the benefits of the ring as he felt his spiritual sense trembling, wishing to break into the divine origin realm.
As well as his body wishing to undergo another evolution, as he felt it crossing the threshold of a Third-Class god but still far from the second class god.
'Another evolution, need to keep this up till...'
But before Tang Wulin could finish his thoughts his sense fluctuated as he perceived something that was charging towards them.
"Get ready, I sense a large amount of them is charging over the hill."
Just as Tang Wulin said this, a terrifying screech rang out causing all of them to tense up as they moved towards the ragged edge of the hill.
But to their shock, they saw something that they weren't expecting.
An abyssal knight roared out as it charged, charging through the violent onslaught of emerald arrows that was streaking through the sky.
they were coming from a pack of emerald creatures. They had ancient armor that was bulky with an oddly shaped head, one horn and in their hands were a gigantic bow that kept on firing arrows.
The Abyssal knights roared as they charged through the arrow fire, even as their body was being poked with holes.
One abyssal creature gripped its spear before launching it towards one of the emerald creatures, with it making contact with them.
Before it released a brilliant light that engulfed them all in a pale explosion that engulfed the Archers, taking them all out of the equation.
Yet as this happened, a deafening roar rang out as a legion of emerald creatures charged towards the abyssal creatures from the left. These emerald creatures were composed of creatures that looked similar to a knight with spears, hammers, axes, and lances.
In front of them was an even bigger emerald creature with two horns on its head as it led the charge with a gigantic spear in its hand. While behind them, emerald creatures were launching arrows that were coated with an emerald light towards the abyssal creatures.
The abyssal creatures swiftly began to unleash an onslaught of attacks, but the emerald creatures didn't meet them head-on.
But simple, spread out, moving around the abyssal creatures as if they wanted to entrap them with their numbers. As if they knew what was happening the abyssal bats scoffed at this before rising to the air and began raining down relentless streams of attack.
The emerald creatures were stuck dealing with the attacks from above while the knights charged at them but luckily their archers had them covered.
The arrows were flying through the air causing the abyssal bats to be forced to move out of the way with a screech. This gave the emerald creatures some room to strike at the pack of abyssal knights who were hacking down on them.
"This... This is new."Muttered Cao Dezhi with his eyes widened.
"More like unbelievable, just who are these guys!" Zhang Huanyun looked in disbelief, trying to both understand and comprehend just what was going on.
Weren't there only supposed to be the abyssal creatures in this plane? Unless these creatures are abyssal creatures but of a different kind.
Which makes him wonder, just why are they fighting each other, unless this is what they do. The strongest rule on the floor while the weakest die and become supple?
"What if they're being invaded by another plane, just like how they were invading ours... This would explain why they have been quiet and only been sending low ranked creatures." Yun Muttering causes the expression of the other to change.
"So there has been a secret war going on this entire time and we didn't even know? Honestly, I'm not sure if I should feel glad or insulted."Muttered Cao Dezhi causing Qiangu Dongfeng to roll his eyes.
"Why would you feel insulted?"
"Well since we didn't know about it, doesn't it mean they didn't see it as a big enough threat?"
"...That's a good point.'
"Regardless, instead of speculating let's just find out. You guys go deal with the charging armies over there, I will go read the big one history." Tang Wulin said as he launched himself forward.
Shattering the hill that he was on while turning into a blur, moving towards the far horizon a bit away from the clashing creatures.
As in the next moment, he saw a figure in a chariot that was colored emerald, glowing with countless skulls and spikes. With four emerald creatures forcibly pulling the chariot while trembling before being on it.
Tang Wulin was able to get a good look at the being; it was similar to that buff emerald creature with the gigantic spear. But this creature had three horns instead of two, with more spokes around its body and a more luminous glow to it.
Yet to Tang Wulin, they were all just dead meat as he summoned his Golden Dragon Spear before hurling it forward.
The spear shot forward, leaving behind a golden streak through the air before swiftly reaching the chariot that the emerald creatures were pulling.
But the spear wasn't aiming towards them but at the ground in front as it gave off a deep crimson light as it moved down to the ground.
The spear smashed into the ground, before rebounding off the ground, into and through one of the emerald creatures that was pulling the chariot. But it didn't stop there; it continues to the one behind it, whose expression had radically changed.
As it found the spear was far too quick to dodge or for it to react causing the spear to ruthlessly tear through its side.
Emerald flesh, blood, and skin scattered to the side as a huge chunk of the emerald creature's left side were gone. Yet that wasn't the end as the spear that was moving through it had instantly vanished with Tang Wulin appearing in its stead.
The creature had no time to react as a hand grabbed onto its face, thrusting it down, straight through the chariot and into the ground.
The ground caved in, with charred rubbles and rocks scattering around as pieces of the chariots fly around.
The emerald creatures blinked their eyes, shifting their head to turn around but a sharp sound rang through the air.
Before the golden spear once again reaches them, rebound from the ground and into the second emerald creature from another odd angle.
With Tang Wulin catching the glittering spear on its shaft before swinging across, bisecting the last emerald creature behind him on his right.
This all happened in a few seconds.
Tang Wulin didn't say anything as all of his soul rings appeared behind him, all of them shining dazzlingly.
'Eight Soul Ring: Branch of Akasha.'
As multi-colored vines began to move down on the emerald creature, it began to glow in brilliant emerald.
But to its terrible shock, it felt everything freeze, as if time had stopped as it found its whole body turning grey. It could feel its energy trying to fight back against the frozen time but in the end, still couldn't overpower it.
Not only that but it saw Tang Wulin drawing a circle with one of his fingers before a golden halo appeared, wrapping around it. At that moment it felt its strength and abilities being restricted, with it finding no way of escaping.
'Time Magic: Stop.'
'Unfixed Storm.'
The vines began to gently wrap around the emerald creature before Tang Wulin felt himself being pulled into the creature's mind.
