Soul Land 3: Legend Of The Dragon King

Chapter 1886: Commencement of the Matches!

After them came the powerful beings of the abyss, and there were some among them that the human army had never seen before.

They came in all different shapes and forms, but all of them were giving off powerful auras.

Meanwhile, the 27 representatives of the human army also rose up into the air, led by Tang Wulin, Gu Yuena, and Guan Yue, and they flew toward the opposing powerful beings. It seemed that the matches were set to begin at any moment!

The Tang Sect and Shrek Academy had contributed the greatest number of combatants for these matches, and Tang Wulin was the representative of both organizations, so that automatically made him the representative of the human army.

He slowly flew toward Demon Sovereign with a calm look in his eyes. “Are you ready?”

Demon Sovereign chuckled coldly, “I should be asking you that. Send out your first team.”

Tang Wulin countered in an indifferent voice, “To ensure fairness, we should be sending out our teams at the same time.”

Demon Sovereign gave a disdainful harrumph. “Fine, we’ll go first then; it’s not like it matters anyway.”

She then swept a hand through the air, and nine figures emerged from behind her.

As expected, Demon Sovereign wasn’t going to be featuring the first match. In fact, none of the powerful beings from the Holy Spirit Cult were in this first group; it was entirely comprised of abyssal creatures.

Flying at the very forefront of the group was an abyssal creature that was identical in appearance to a middle-aged male human. If it weren’t for the faint abyssal aura around him, one could easily mistake him for a member of the Holy Spirit Cult.

The abyssal creature appeared to be in his forties with a red complexion and a square face, and the only thing that set him apart from a normal human was his eyes.

Embedded within his eye sockets seemed to be a pair of what appeared to be miniature skulls, presenting a very peculiar and harrowing sight to behold.

His aura wasn’t remarkable in any way, and there was no significant outpouring of energy from his body; he seemed to be completely mundane and unremarkable. However, this only made everyone more wary of him.

Standing beside him was a pair of familiar faces, namely the Black Sovereign and the Hornet Sovereign. The remaining six abyssal creatures on the team were only appearing before the human army for the first time, but judging from their immensely powerful auras, it was clear that all of them came from the top 30 levels of the abyss.

Tang Wulin turned to Guan Yue, who gave him a slight nod before leading the powerful beings of the Battle God Hall forward, arranging themselves into a horizontal line in front of the nine abyssal creatures.

Right at this moment, Tang Wulin suddenly said, “Hold on a second.”

“What is it?” Demon Sovereign asked in a cold voice.

Tang Wulin replied, “If this bet were only between us and the Holy Spirit Cult, then I wouldn’t have anything to say. However, seeing as there are abyssal creatures involved, there’s one thing that I have to make clear; this is a battle to the death, so the abyssal energy of the slain abyssal creatures can’t be allowed to return to the abyssal plane. Hence, you have to seal the abyssal passageway before the commencement of these matches. Otherwise, it would be completely unfair for us.”

Demon Sovereign’s eyes narrowed slightly upon hearing this, and a stir immediately ran through the abyssal creatures behind her. Their lives were undoubtedly extremely important to them as any of them perishing would result in the collapse of an abyssal level.

In order to recreate a destroyed abyssal level, an enormous amount of energy was required, and it would take the abyssal plane an extremely long time to gather that much energy.

Back when Tang Wulin had destroyed two levels of the abyss, it had taken the abyssal plane a very long time to recover, and even then, the recovery time had been severely shortened thanks to the energy that the abyssal plane had gathered over the years.

During this battle, the abyssal plane had already suffered heavy losses. Several abyssal emperors had already been slain by Gu Yuena, and their abyssal energy had been devoured by her Silver Dragon Spear, thereby completely destroying their respective abyssal levels.

If they were to accept Tang Wulin’s proposal and seal the abyssal passageway, then any further deaths that they suffered in the upcoming matches would be permanent. If too many abyssal levels were to be destroyed, then the foundation of the entire abyssal plane would be shaken, and no one knew just how long it would take the abyssal plane to recover.

Thus, the abyssal emperors and sovereigns were naturally completely opposed to this.

Demon Sovereign said, “This is not something I can decide on my own; I’ll have to discuss this matter with everyone else first.”

She swept a hand through the air as she spoke, forming a purplish-golden light barrier that enveloped her and the abyssal rulers.

Thus, their discussion commenced, and through the light barrier, Tang Wulin could see that the abyssal rulers were initially reacting very vehemently.

However, after hearing what Demon Sovereign had to say, they gradually calmed down, and they began to exchange glances between one another with peculiar looks on their faces.

Their eyes seemed to be filled with anger, indignation, fear, and some other strange emotions.

Shortly thereafter, they completely calmed down, but they then turned their attention toward the human representatives, and their eyes were filled with intense hatred.

The purplish-golden light barrier faded, and Demon Sovereign declared, “We agree to your condition to temporarily seal the abyssal passageway. Aside from the abyssal creatures that have already emerged onto this plane, no further abyssal creatures will arrive prior to the conclusion of this battle. At the same time, if any of them perish, then their abyssal energy won’t be able to escape. As for whether you’ll be able to devour their abyssal energy, that’ll be up to you.”

Tang Wulin’s heart stirred slightly upon hearing this. Of course this was the ideal outcome, but it had arrived far too quickly, and it made him very suspicious.

This was something that concerned the lives of over 15 abyssal rulers; if they were to all perish, then the abyssal plane would be dealt an almighty blow. At the very least, there would be no way for it to attack the Douluo Continent again for the next few millennia.

However, after just a few minutes, Demon Sovereign had already convinced the abyssal rulers to agree to this condition. One had to realize that Demon Sovereign wasn’t even the leader of the abyssal army! There had to have been some special circumstances involved. Otherwise, who could she have possibly convinced so many abyssal rulers in such a short time?

However, the matches were about to commence, and there wasn’t any point in thinking too much about this matter; all they had to do was focus on winning these matches.

The team of nine abyssal rulers slowly advanced, and the middle-aged man that they were led by struck the beholder with the impression of an immovable mountain.

The Black Sovereign and the Hornet Sovereign were situated on either side of him, while the remaining six abyssal rulers trailed along behind them.

From the human side, Guan Yue flew through the air with his Sky Crossing Divine Spear in his grasp, followed closely by the eight other Battle Gods. It could be said that this was the most powerful lineup the Battle God Hall was currently capable of mustering up.

Guan Yue’s expression remained calm, as if he were completely unfazed by the fact that this was a fight to the death. The other Battle Gods also seemed to be very calm, and it was as if this were nothing more than a regulation battle for them.

Only those truly familiar with the Battle God Hall knew that the first lesson one was taught upon joining the Battle God Hall was how to remain calm regardless of the situation. Thus, this ability was present within all Battle Gods.

The higher the stakes, the calmer one had to be; only then would they be able to perform at their best at the most important moments.
