Chapter 1785: Free To Advance Or Retreat

The thick abyssal energy flying toward the abyssal passage at high speed suddenly paused for a moment. It made the numerous devouring vortexes formed by the Black Empress go astray.
The scene was extremely ghastly. Abyssal energy was a unique entity. Formless and massless, it could not be swayed or disrupted by anything under ordinary circumstances. This was also the main reason that humans had been dealing with the abyssal plane for such a long time but still had not managed to weaken it.
Nevertheless, the thick energy had actually stopped in midair all of a sudden. It was unheard of.
The entire ball of abyssal energy suddenly began surging violently. Then, it started spinning at high speed and transformed into a vortex-like form.
Then, the gigantic abyssal energy ball abruptly collapsed inward under the close eyes of numerous Mo Meis and Black Empresses. It shrunk drastically. In just the blink of an eye, it had already vanished into nothingness.
The main screen at the federal military command post suddenly turned crystal-clear. They could see the numerous Mo Meis and Black Empresses up close. Then, the perspective switched, giving them a view of the ground. One could clearly see the dark mass of the abyssal legion neatly arranged into large troops in the distance. The view was obscured by the numerous abyssal creatures in the sky, but the image was much clearer compared to before. The coordinates were sent back as well.
Then, they saw a familiar face displayed on the soul camera in A Ruheng’s hand.
The Golden Dragon Spear in Tang Wulin’s hand that had just devoured a large amount of abyssal energy was emitting an incomparably dazzling and striking radiance. He smiled at the soul camera, and his voice was transmitted into the command post clearly.
“Open fire on me!”
Before he even got the words out , he had already turned into a stream of golden light. He flew into the air and where he passed, Mo Meis and Black Empresses melted into gray-black mist before vanishing without a trace.
“It’s him!” In the abyssal passage, the numerous powerhouses of the abyssal plane and the Holy Spirit Cult were shocked.
No one knew where Tang Wulin came from or how he appeared in the ball of abyssal energy. However, there was no doubt that the thick, rich abyssal energy had been devoured by his Golden Dragon Spear.
The Bee Monarch roared in agony. Three pairs of enormous translucent wings appeared on her back. They flapped once and sent her charging to the outside in an instant.
Where did Tang Wulin come from? Only Tang Wulin and A Ruheng knew the answer.
When A Ruheng was on his reconnaissance mission, Tang Wulin gave him three leaves from the Life Subtree. Every leaf contained the Life Subtree’s life force, but they also contained the life coordinates simultaneously.
As the Nature Child, Tang Wulin could transport himself within a short distance via these leaves. Even though every transfer would consume the Life Subtree’s energy, the abyssal energy devoured moments ago was enough to replenish it.
Radiance bloomed from the Golden Dragon Spear in his hand. The Black Empresses and Mo Meis killed were a great loss for the abyssal plane.
In the federal military command post, Yu Guanzhi could not be hindered by the shock because the tactical opportunity was fleeting!
“Lock onto the coordinates and open fire!”
In the distance, the giant soul cannons on the main naval ships of the three great federal fleets began to adjust their muzzles and aim in the same direction.
All the ground forces including the Northern Army Corps, the Western Army Corps, the Northwest Army Corps and the Central Army Corps had also begun to adjust their long-range soul cannons.
“Rumble, rumble, rumble!”
In a split second, there was a deafeningly loud boom like the world itself was being broken apart. The first wave of artillery fire sounded like it would wake all of Thule.
In the distance, the tremendous bombardment could be heard faintly in the northernmost core area where the abyssal passage was. All at once, the abyssal legion broke out in a commotion.
Meanwhile, Tang Wulin nodded at A Ruheng while he was still in the air. A green-gold halo emerged around his body. In the next moment, there was a flash of light and he disappeared without a trace.
In the sky, A Ruheng flipped his whole body, pointing his head downward. He crashed into the ground, colliding into it like a meteor.
“Boom!” The impact happened in the blink of an eye, creating intense shockwaves and leaving a crater in the ground. A Ruheng vanished from sight as he continued barreling into the earth.
The sky suddenly turned brighter as it was illuminated by countless soul cannons. The heavy bombardment had almost covered the entire sky. The abyssal creatures were fully exposed under the illumination.
Naturally, these creatures would not resign themselves to their demise. They reacted to the situation as soon as they heard the booming noises in the distance.
The gigantic Guardian Longhorn Beetles appeared in the mass of the abyssal legion. They spread out their wings and formed into an enormous protective shield over a hundred meters in diameter to protect the abyssal creatures under them. At the same time, they had also unleashed thick purple light shields that shot farther into the distance. On the ground, gigantic hemispherical protective shields appeared and enshrouded the vast majority of the abyssal creatures.
On the other hand, a tiny flying soul device took A Ruheng’s position in the air earlier. It recorded the situation that was taking place on the ground level then transmitted the image back to the command post.
Everything happened too violently and too swiftly.
Soon afterward, black dots suddenly rose into the sky and braced for the artillery fire. Those were the abyssal bomb bees.
They began accelerating one after another in midair and blocked the soul cannonballs falling from the sky.
In the meantime, the Bee Monarch in the abyssal passage had already regained her prior calmness. She floated in midair, and her entire body turned a semi-transparent dark green. The Ghost Emperor, the Underworld Emperor and the other powerhouses of the Holy Spirit Cult could clearly sense the exceedingly intense spiritual fluctuation from the Bee Monarch.
The Bee Monarch’s individual fighting capacity was definitely the weakest amongst the ten great abyssal monarchs. However, the Bomb Bee Clan had the greatest overall fighting capacity. Their strongest skill was their ability to control.
The Bee Monarch’s spiritual power was so potent that she was capable of exercising precise control over every single bomb bee’s flight path.
“Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom!” The explosive sound of the bombardment could be heard in the sky first. It turned into a large group of clouds of light that transformed into a terrifying energy storm in the sky.
The next moment after the sound, the ground exploded in a blast that swept across the entire area at once.
One had no choice but to acknowledge that the abyssal bomb bees’ blockade had some success. A large amount of soul cannonballs had been intercepted.
However, the abyssal bomb bees weakened immediately after the cannonballs exploded. This was because they were incapable of getting closer due to the terrifying energy storm.
On the other hand, the federal military’s artillery fire had just begun!
Yu Guanzhi dispatched orders continuously in the federal military command post. The artillery fire coming from the seven great army corps was fired one after another in a seamless manner.
So what if the first wave of attack was stopped by the abyssal bomb bees? The second wave of artillery fire had already arrived.
The terrifying explosion took the form of a carpet bombing. With no intention of sparing their ammunition, the northernmost core area was blasted into a state of chaos and darkness.
“Satellite signal!” Yu Guanzhi shouted aloud.
One of the screens switched over to another angle at once.
It was a bird’s eye view that was constructed using the Federation’s satellites monitoring Thule.
Just as Yu Guanzhi had expected, the black mist in the sky above the northernmost core area was due to the constant bombardment. He could already see the situation on the ground clearly.
“Enlarge it!” Yu Guanzhi stepped forward swiftly to come to the front of the large screen and observed closely.
The image enlarged to reveal an enormous cavern through the satellite view, but it was hard to see the situation clearly due to the heavy bombardment of artillery fire. One could vaguely see the target of explosion had yet to reach the cavern accurately.
“Lock down coordinates. Adjust the launch angle,” Yu Guanzhi shouted excitedly.
“Prepare rank-9 fixed soul ammunition. Fire all ten on the abyssal passage.”

The staff officer relayed the order at once. In a nearby area, missile silos were slowly opening up and the rank-9 fixed soul ammunitions were loaded into the launcher.
Ten rank-9 fixed soul ammunitions were launched simultaneously. It had been a very long time since such a magnificent scene occurred.
