Chapter 222 - Abyssal Tide Alarm

Time flowed on, as within the next three weeks.

Tang Wulin has been further increasing his strength through his training. With Old Tang training, understanding his spiritual domain and Destruction bloodline.

While this was going on, Yue Zhengyu has been sparring with the other Blood Gods. Increasing his combat experience and strength through constant pressure.

He also has gotten help from Cao Dezhi to help him reach the level of Sword Soul, especially after witnessing Tang Wulin Spear Soul.

While the others have been monitoring the abyssal passage and looking out for the Evil Soul Master that Zang Xin reported.

So far only a few camps of them have been found, with the rest either vanishing or leaving in advance. As if they knew the Blood God Army was coming.

In a room, was Tang Wulin sitting in a lotus position on the floor. All around him was silent except for the sounds of his breathing.

Yet there was a hint of scarlet-gold that was shimmering around his body. The aura was dazzling and bright as if it was alive, fading in and out.

But then the aura shattered as Tang Wulin slowly opens his eyes with a hint of disappointment.

"Not there." Muttered Tang Wulin.

"That was the closest you have ever been." Zeref's voice rang out causing Tang Wulin to sigh.

At the moment, he has been trying to form a small world around him but to his evident irritation and disappointment.

It would always fail, with just now being the closest he has ever been to producing something.

"Well, Yun Ming did say it was arduous and long." Said Zeref but Tang Wulin only rolled his eyes.

"You know as well as I do, that I have been in the spiritual domain for a long time." Said Tang Wulin causing Zeref to nod his head.

Depending on how you see it, Tang Wulin already reached the Spirit Domain years ago. With his spiritual power becoming even stronger after his breakthrough.

"Still, that doesn't mean you would be able to form it so easily." Zeref pointed out causing Tang Wulin to sigh.

But before Tang Wulin could respond back he heard the unexpected sound of his soul communicator.

Tang Wulin walked over to his communicator before picking it up and seeing what was on the screen.

"An abyssal tide at rank four."Mutter Zeref causing Tang Wulin to grin.

"Took it long enough." Said Tang Wulin before turning around to leave the room.

"You know you could have easily hunt it down." Said Zeref but Tang Wulin only rolled his eyes.

"You know as well as I do, that doing such a thing was useless." Said Tang Wulin.

'That is true.' Thought Zeref as, without the formation, the fight with Surtr may not be possible, as the formation only works around the passages.

"So are you going to wait for Surtr?"

"Of course not. I will just slay some abyssal creature to store up some energy as I wait for the ape."Said Tang Wulin as he rushed out of the barracks.

He wasn't the only one rushing out of the barracks, as the others were also moving out. From Yue Zhengyu who was training with Cao Dezhi to the other Blood Gods.

Yun Ming and Zang Xin everyone else rushed out of the Blood God Battalion towards, the abyssal passage, while Zhang Huanyun began organizing the soldiers.

'Something is wrong.' Thought Tang Wulin as he came to a stop before glancing all around.

There was nothing but snow falling, with the occasional icy gust that pushed everything around. Yet his instincts and senses were telling him that imminent danger was here.

Tang Wulin quickly spread out his spiritual sense, which quickly covered a range of kilometers.

'So they're attacking now.' Thought Tang Wulin as he easily located all of the Evil Soul Masters all around him.

The malice and hatred that were rolling off of them were too much for him to mistake them for anyone else. Yet something odd was mix with the malice, it was familiar yet distinctive as if it didn't match.

"Hello there." A pleasant voice rang out before someone appeared in front of Tang Wulin.

It was a charming woman with blue hair that flowed down her back with piercing blue eyes that were sunken in and a huge smile on her face.

Yet strangely enough, she had a crimson hue on her face as if she was blushing.

But Tang Wulin didn't care as he was able to quickly scan all of the people around him.

'Most of them are Spirit Sage, with her and a few others being Title Douluo.' Thought Tang Wulin while the women in front kept smiling.

"Mm, mistress did say you would be a difficult one. Well, it matters not, I just want to ask you something."Said the blue hair women causing Tang Wulin to arch a brow.

"Will you join us?"

Tang Wulin blinks his eyes in surprise, as he didn't think they would ask him something like this. One has to remember because of him, the negative energy was being reduced at a rapid pace.

As the people of the Douluo Continent is slowly starting to regain hope, something the Holy Spirit Cult didn't want.

'So why aren't they trying to kill me?' Thought Tang Wulin with even Zeref a bit put off.

"I thought most of you wanted to kill me?"

"Kill you? Heavens no, well for us at least. Unlike those other unclothe people, we only wish for one thing."Said the blue hair women causing Tang Wulin to arch a brow.

"What is that?"

"That you be enveloped in our love." Said the blue hair girl causing Tang Wulin to look at her blankly.

"...Did she."

"She did." Said Sleipnir to Zeref's response while Yggdrasil was just giggling at the words of the women in front of them.

Tang Wulin didn't say anything, but he felt an ominous meaning from the words of the blue-haired lady.

"Sweet child, lay down your arms and join us. Join us in the path of spreading love to all."Said the blue hair softly as her eyes began to shine.

Tang Wulin slightly narrowed his eyes as he saw the expression of the women. He saw a variety of emotions, but the most prevalent was love.

"I refuse." Said Tang Wulin before he began walking onward causing the women to blink her eyes.

"...You refuse?" Said the blue hair women as she began tilting her head with her eyes wide open, displaying emotions Tang Wulin couldn't perceive.

"Yes."

"...Mistress did say you would refuse this time."Mutter the blue-haired woman before she started to smile again.

"Child loved by the plane and nature, we will bid a farewell." Said the blue hair women.

"Oh? You're not going to try and force me to join?"Questioned Tang Wulin but the women only laugh.

"Don't worry, champion of the plane. You will be enveloped by our love, even if you try to resist. I'm confident our love will reach you, bringing you boundless joy and warmth." Said the blue hair women before a wisp of blue energy erupted from around her and then she vanished.

It wasn't just her but all of the other Evil Soul Masters who appeared around Tang Wulin.

Even when he spread out his spiritual sense, that spanned for ten-kilometer, he didn't find any trace of them.

'Was that teleportation?' Thought Tang Wulin with his eyes slightly narrow.

"Most likely. Still, I'm surprised you stopped to listen to them." Said Zeref.

"I was hoping for them to attack, although the fight wouldn't be good." Mutter Tang Wulin before glancing to Zeref.

"What do you think about them?"

"Interesting, as they said they didn't want your death. Something I didn't think they would actually say considering how much of a threat you are."Said Zeref causing Tang Wulin to sigh.

"I wonder what she means by enveloping all by their love."Mutter Tang Wulin but Zeref only shrug his shoulder.

"Well, at least we know their organization isn't just filled with just one mindset. It seems they may have a different ideology."Said Zeref.

He didn't think this was a different Evil Soul Master organization, as they already mentioned how they weren't similar to the other members.

"But this begs the question, who are they under?" Questioned Zeref in a thinking posture.

"Thinking for later, let's move." Said Tang Wulin before he dashed forward.

It didn't take long for Tang Wulin to finally reach the Grade S passage of the abyssal creature.

He saw all of the soul beams that were being rapidly fired off by the Blood God Battalion soldiers as they combat the abyssal creatures.

Soul beams and ammunitions shot onto the onslaught of abyssal creatures who were rushing onward.

Countless amount of explosions erupted as the abyssal creatures were being crushed, yet they began to turn into mist.

"Time to kill some time." Mutter Tang Wulin as he summoned his Golden Dragon Spear before dashing forward.

Tang Wulin already reached the first abyssal creature who had thick armor and wings unfolded. He didn't give the creature time to react as his spear had already pierced through its neck.

As the mist of grey energy began to be absorbed by the Golden Dragon Spear, Tang Wulin once again began to weave through the abyssal forces.

"It's the Golden Spear!"

"He here again!"

"Look! They really are dying!"

A glittering spear was stabbing out repeatedly, breaking and piercing through the waves of abyssal creatures.

Yet it was then, Tang Wulin felt his instinct and senses go off, as he senses something coming.

As in the next instant, the sound of waves could be heard as an enormous stream of grey-colored energy was rushing towards him.

Rumble!

Similar to sea waves, the energy rushed forward as it began sweeping across the entire abyssal passage.

The expression of the Blood God Army soldiers changed but Tang Wulin simply look on before squeezing his Golden Dragon Spear.

Then he rosed it up before slashing and stomping towards, causing the waves of grey-colored energy to split apart.

Before sixteen dragons burst from the ground and started to devour the energy that was diverging to the side.

"Impressive, no wonder he wanted you dead." A voice rang out causing Tang Wulin to look ahead.

The creature had the appearance of a black-bodied tiger with six wings that were spread out and with its body cover with dark rugged fur.

"That is the Liger Emperor!"

"Did it actually come!"

"What a pain." Said Tang Wulin as he lifted up his Golden Dragon Spear.
