Chapter 216 - Abyssal

"Yes, it's the Empyrean Ape, Surtr." Said Blood Two with a nod of his head.

Luckily, the information provided by Shrek had the name of the Calamities. Although it didn't give them anything much to work with, it at least made it easier to categorize them.

"So it has been killing them for the past months?" Questioned Yue Zhengyu in confusion, causing the people around him to sigh.

"Yes, we don't know why but Surtr has been locating and massacring the abyssal creatures, ever since it came here."Said Blood One with him motioning for Blood Two to change to the next picture on the monitor.

"As you can see, it has been doing nothing but fighting the abyssal creatures. It only comes out to

fight them when the abyssal tide comes and when the tide is at least level four."Said Blood One causing Yue Zhengyu to furrow his brows.

"You guys broke up the intensity of the tide into levels?" Questioned Yue Zhengyu.

"Yes. We needed a way to make it so; we don't squander our resources on the weak enemies. And so the past Soul Masters decided to break the Abyssal Tide into ranks or level, with one and two being the norm. Usually, any higher level would have us sending out one of the Blood Gods or multiple of them." Said Blood Two.

"It knows when the Tide is a rank four or higher?" Questioned Zang Xin with his brows furrowed while also understanding what happened back there.

As this answered while there were so many abyssal creatures that attacked them. As not even a rank three would have that many scouring the land unless it was in front of the abyssal tunnel.

'But if it's a level four. Then this makes things different.' Thought Zang Xin with a sigh.

"We're not sure about-"

"He's probably using his Divine Sense." Said Tang Wulin causing all of the people to move their gaze to him.

"From what I have heard and learned. A God with there Divine Sense can cover hundreds of thousands of Kilometers in seconds. With none being able to sense it unless one has a Divine Sense too."Said Tang Wulin.

"That makes sense..."Mutter Blood One as he takes up a thinking posture.

"So you weren't able to sense Fafnir Divine Sense, even with the power of the plane?" Questioned Yun Ming causing Tang Wulin to shake his head.

"I'm not even sure if he used his Divine Sense, in terms of attacking." Said Tang Wulin.

But the Douluo plane was protecting Tang Wulin from the Divine Sense of Fafnir. Fafnir could have, easily shatter or even wipe Tang Wulin's mind by it just utilizing its Divine Sense.

As Tang Wulin spiritual power hasn't yet reached the level of the Gods. But luckily for him, Fafnir relied more on its physical prowess than its mental attacks, making it easy for the plane to defend him.

"Still, Surtr never once attacked any of the soldiers?" Questioned Tang Wulin with an arched brow.

"No. Even when it saw our soldiers fighting or moving around. It simply ignores them and rushes forward." Said Blood One as he moved to change the pictures on the monitors.

Yue Zhengyu, Zang Xin and Tang Wulin were able to see the pictures that the Blood-Gods took over the months. Some showed Surtr's actions through the Endless Mountain and some of its battle that devastated the Endless Mountain.

"So that's it? It just comes and fights the abyssal creatures and then leave?"Questioned Yue Zhengyu in slight disbelief.

"Oddly enough yes. We even had one of the Blood Gods tracking it, to where it goes. But all it does his find a place to sleep and waits till the next Abyssal Tide." Said Blood One causing Zang Xin and Yue Zhengyu to nod their heads.

"Which now brings me to the next issue. Yun Ming told us, all of you want to utilize us, is that correct?"Questioned Zhang Huayan with his eyes narrow.

"Yes." Said Tang Wulin with a nod of his head.

"I don't mind I'm all open for your plan." Said Zhang Huanyan with a smile causing Yue Zhengyu and Tang Wulin to blink their eyes in surprise.

"Don't be so shocked, even if he tries to hide it. He wishes to utilize us too, as he wants to get revenge for the Federation." Said Blood One with a shake of the head, causing Zhang Huanyun to glare at him.

"Oh! And you aren't just rearing to see those beast be slain? After what they did to you Tang Sect." Said Zhang Huanyun causing Blood One lips to twitch.

"His Tang Sect?"Mutter Yue Zhengyu causing Zang Xin to chuckle before he turned to Tang Wulin and Yue Zhengyu.

"I guess you guys wouldn't know but mister number one over there. He is the Hall Master of the Tang Sect and the Leader of the Seven Devils of Yun Ming time, Heartless Douluo Cao Dezhi." Said Zang Xin causing Yue Zhengyu to be shocked while Tang Wulin was a bit surprised.

"Why is he here then?" Questioned Tang Wulin.

"Our Hall Master strenght was needed here." Said Zang Xin with a sigh and causing Tang Wulin to arch a brow.

But he didn't question any further as he turned back to the people in front of him.

"So what's your plan young man? I know Yun Ming told us you guys used a formation of some sort, with the Gold Tree as the center to help boost your power. But how are you going to use that formation here?"Questioned Zhang Huanyun.

"Before that, do you guys know when the abyssal tide above rank four usually comes?" Questioned Tang Wulin causing Zhang Huanyun to furrow his brows.

"Not really, as it's more of a random chance that happens every few decades or more. But recently the tide has been happening way too often." Said Cao Dezhi with a grim expression.

"If it wasn't for the actions of the Calamity Surtr, then we would have probably lost many soldiers and technology." Said Zhang Huanyun with a sigh.

"Do you guys believe this has something to do with the Calamity appearance?" Questioned Zang Xin in thinking posture.

"Maybe." Said Cao Dezhi.

"It would make the most sense, as rank three and above have been more frequent ever since the appearance of Surtr." Said Blood Two.

"Okay, for the plan, I heard you guys here have a formation." Said Tang Wulin as Zang Xin and Yun Ming both informed him and Yue Zhengyu about the Blood God Army.

"Yes, the Blood Gods Great Array." Said Cao Dezhi with a nod of the head.

Yun Ming already told them that he and Zang Xin told Tang Wulin about the Blood God Army and their formation. Normally, such a thing wasn't allowed but considering he was there only hope in killing the Calamities.

He could understand the reasoning of his old teammate.

"How does it work, exactly?" Questioned Tang Wulin.

"The array is similar to the seal that was used to seal the abyssal tunnels. As you know, the seal placed on the tunnel was not formed through the power of the soul masters of old but nature spiritual energies of the Douluo Continent."Said Cao Dezhi causing Tang Wulin to slightly narrow his eyes.

"They were able to form a connection with the plane?" Questioned Tang Wulin in slight disbelief.

"In a way yes, as the plane was more than happy to lend its power to them. But it wasn't a simple connection like the one Yun Ming told us you were able to form or the one Ha Lousua has. These Soul Masters used exceedingly complicated scriptures with their faith being utilized to help form and forge a seal. As a result, the seal managed to block the arrival of the abyssal plane for such a long period." Said Cao Dezi causing Tang Wulin to nod his head.

Sleipnir and Yggdrasil told him, that the plane would gladly help its people when something that could endanger the whole world appears.

"But sadly, the abyssal creatures were able to deal enough damage to leave behind small crack like gate-ways. That allowed them to travel out from the abyssal passage into the Douluo Plane."Said Zhang Haunyun with a grim expression.

"I'm surprised the plane hasn't completely sealed off the Abyssal Creatures." Zeref's voice rang out causing Tang Wulin to inwardly nods his head.

From the previous words of Sleipnir and Yggdrasil, the plane wouldn't like the thought of anything alien, to come on its world. Especially when it wanted to completely kill all of its children and take it over.

'So what is keeping the plane lord, from not stopping the abyssal creatures?' Thought Tang Wulin.

"The Blood God Battalions wanted to replicate the method of the seal, as they all believed and knew that the process of the seal was far better. As with the power of the nine natural spiritual energies, they believed the boost in power, would be far better than any normal method could have thought up."Said Zhang Huanyun causing Tang Wulin to nod his head.

"The formation you all have here should be able to work. Only some minor adjustments may need to be made but that's all."Said Tang Wulin causing all everyone's eyes to lit up.

"So when do you plan hunting Surtr?" Questioned Yun Ming.

"In a month or less." Said Tang Wulin causing Yun Ming to arch a brow.

"You are going to delay it? Could it be you haven't recovered?"Questioned Yun Ming but Tang Wulin only shook his head.

"I plan on training for the month." Said Tang Wulin.

"Are you close to a breakthrough?"

"More or less. On another note, I need you all to inform me, whenever an abyssal tide happens." Said Tang Wulin causing Yun Ming to blink his eyes.

"You plan on helping them?" Questioned Yun Ming before Zang Xin chuckles out loud.

"It's not that. He has the talent to become the Blood God Army's most loved figure."Said Zang Xin with a smile causing all of them to arch a brow.

"What do you mean?"

"Are you saying he is going to join?"

"None of that, although I would love to see you all try to recruit him." Said Zang Xin with his smile growing before pulling out a device.

"A Soul Recorder?" Questioned Zhang Haunyun in confusion.

"Just watch this." Said Zang Xin as he played the device.

'He was recording me?' Thought Tang Wulin in slight surprise as he saw the scenes of him massacring the abyssal creature play out.

And the shock that appeared on everyone but Yue Zhengyu and Zang Xin's face.
