Almost all the close-combat warriors retreated simultaneously, and the surrounding abyssal creatures were shattered by the terrifying explosion.
Gu You was momentarily stunned. Standing in front of him was none other than the Three-Word Battle Armor Master. His weapon was a massive saber, each strike producing a giant arc of energy. With a cultivation at the Title Douluo level and the enhancement of Three-Word Battle Armor, he slashed more than ten times at the enormous finger.
The finger slowly bent before suddenly flicking back, releasing a terrifying beam of gray-white light that struck the armored warrior.
The Three-Word Battle Armor Master was sent flying. With the forced control of his wings, he veered diagonally upward and slammed into the cave wall, embedding himself into it.
But that massive finger also trembled, reluctantly retreating back into the abyss.
"That was a direct attack from an Abyssal Monarch. To provoke one to strike across dimensions against you is something to be proud of." A deep voice sounded by Gu You's ear. In a flash of silver light, the Three-Word Battle Armor Master reappeared above them. It was clearly his voice.
'Abyssal Monarch...' Gu You pondered.
The tide of battle had now tipped completely in their favor. Gu You was energized by the fight, and with each abyssal creature slain, his Golden Dragon Spear absorbed energy to replenish him.
Twenty more minutes of fierce combat passed.
Then the order to retreat came from the rear—Ironblood Regiment's second battalion had arrived.
Even the strongest warriors grow tired and must rotate out to avoid unnecessary casualties.
"My Martial Soul True Body hasn't faded yet. I can keep fighting a while longer." Gu You's massive dragon form hovered in the sky as he spoke.
"Alright, go on then. I'll let the second battalion commander know. Kid, you really are a monster!" Jiang Wuyue laughed as he led the first battalion to retreat, leaving only Gu You holding the front line.
The second battalion surged forward. The abyssal creatures, suppressed at the exit, couldn't even form ranks. Under a barrage of concentrated long-range attacks, they couldn't even make it out of the tunnel.
Jiang Wuyue didn't immediately leave. Instead, he ran excitedly to Long Yuxue's side at the ranged combat post.
"This guy boosts everyone around him, and his soul power seems bottomless. It's the first time I've seen someone keep their Martial Soul True Body active for this long."
Long Yuxue was deep in thought. Clad in her Two-Word Battle Armor, she noted that Gu You's performance on the battlefield was nearly on par with a Blood God.
The battle raged on. Every abyssal tide was a prolonged conflict. This third-level tide would last at least half a month to a full month. Still, with this strong start and low early pressure, the command center could calmly allocate resources and arrange defenses.
Although other points faced tougher resistance, the successful defense of this tunnel allowed personnel to be diverted for preparation. Large-scale soul devices were being delivered and set up. The entire Blood God Legion was operating in an orderly manner.
"Yuxue, did you notice something odd about his golden spear? Normally, when abyssal creatures die, their energy returns to the abyssal plane to nourish the birth of new ones. But Gu You's spear seems to devour that energy, preventing its return. I don't know what exactly that weapon is, but the regiment commander once said that the abyss can keep launching tides because its origin is never harmed. It always recovers quickly after each battle. If Gu You's spear really disrupts that, then every tide we endure weakens the abyss a little. Eventually, they might think twice before launching another." Jiang Wuyue's tone grew serious.
Long Yuxue narrowed her eyes. She'd noticed the same thing—the gray-black streams of energy were being absorbed by the spear, and Gu You's aura grew stronger with each absorption.
'That must be the weapon's ability... but as soul masters, we all have our secrets. It's not polite to pry.'
"We'll ask him when we get a chance."
...
During the fighting, Gu You devoured a massive abyssal beast in one bite when an icy spiritual intent crept up on him silently. The force of a divine-tier mental attack made him shiver.
In the next instant, a bone-chilling aura appeared around him, slashing directly at his Golden Dragon Spear that was still absorbing abyssal energy.
Clang!
Gu You narrowed his eyes, then launched his Purple-Gold Destruction Beam!
A terrifying destructive ray blasted out, guided by his Martial Soul True Body.
At the same time, his massive dragon head swooped down from the heavens.
The Golden Dragon Spear was knocked away but slowly merged back into Gu You's body, quivering slightly—it had just taken a heavy hit.
Gu You caught a glimpse of a gray shadow before it suddenly darted toward him. The sudden turn of events left him no time to react.
His Martial Soul True Body faded just as the shadow slammed into him, sending both flying.
'No honor at all—just charging straight at me like that?'
Gu You had no choice. If that impact had hit one of their armored troops, they'd be injured. He was clearly used as a meat shield! Wrapping his arms around the gray-white body's waist, they rolled across the ground.
When the tumbling stopped, Gu You quickly pulled away—and finally saw what the shameless abyssal creature looked like.
It was a woman. A woman in a flowing gray-white gown, with gray-white eyes and long gray hair cascading down past her shoulders all the way to her toes.
Despite the many Blood God Legion warriors around them, every attack that came within thirty meters of her was instantly nullified.
Even more bizarre, countless gray-white energy streams were pouring from her body into the abyssal tunnel behind her, making her form grow increasingly transparent.
Her eyes locked onto Gu You with a gaze of utter coldness and indifference.
'What the hell is this thing?'
High above, the Blood God radiated an intense silver light. His battle blade lifted high, the domain beneath his feet spread wide, and the surrounding air thickened.
Both allies and enemies began moving sluggishly.
His battle blade, now seemingly weighed down by unimaginable pressure, slowly slashed through the air.
The gray-haired woman's eyes finally turned toward the Blood God...
