Chapter 368 - Descent of the Emerald Creatures

The second floor of the Abyssal Plane was similar to the first one but this one had far more mountains and clouds in the sky.

Six figures appeared out of the passage that led down from the second floor to the first, quickly turning around.

"Okay, now Wulin stabs your spear into the passage; the absorption process should proceed." Said Zhang Huayun as he glanced at Tang Wulin who nodded his head.

As he thrust out his Golden Dragon Spear, that shot forward, puncturing into the passage just as the trembling reached them.

The golden spear began to tremble before it started to vigorously absorb the passage as the collapse reached them.

"So that's what the collapse of a plane looks like... Can't say I like it."Muttered Cao Dezhi as he saw the passage walls were fragmenting.

Like glass, it was falling before turning into pale mist and moving towards the golden spear, similar to a stream.

Tang Wulin's eyes slightly narrowed as he felt the energy contained on the first floor was close to filling up his spear. Feeling this, he began changing the energy into his realm core.

With the help of Yggdrasil and Sleipnir, the energy was able to safely move towards his core.

The core began absorbing the energy, eagerly and vigorously as if it was starved for days, surprising Yggdrasil a bit.

As she thought she would need to slowly regulate the energy but with the way the core was devouring the energy, she barely needed to do that.

Before there was barely any energy in the core, it was the size of a small puddle, barely any worth mentioning.

Yet now it was gradually growing, achieving the size of medium size puddle and continue growing.

After a while, the rush of energy had stopped as the first floor of the abyssal plane had finished collapsing. The only thing that could be seen as an endless void in front of Tang Wulin and the others.

"Let's go stay low for a bit, to see the reactions of the abyssal plane." Said Yun Ming, causing the others to nod their head before moving.

"They all been set up?" Questioned Na'er as she stared at the sea before her, with Yali right behind.

"Yea, if those stone pillars drop from the sky again, we will be able to respond to them far quicker than before."

"But the problem is we don't know where they will drop, so it's problematic to move the Soul Masters," Na'er muttered causing Yali to nod her head.

Unlike Star Luo and Alvarez Empire, the Dou Lin and Douluo continent haven't been attacked yet. Yet Na'er wishes they had also been attacked as at least they had a target and area to focus most of their forces on.

Right now, it will all depend on their reaction speed and coordination for the next attack.

"Has she arrived yet?"

"That's why I came, the person Cao Dezhi, Zang Xin and Yun Ming recommended. Although Ming did tell me to forewarn you... that she is a weird one."

"How weird?"

"He said Wulin weird."

"Oh boy... Great, well let's go see her, if her ability is as good as they say, then it will be worth it."Said Na'er with a faint smile causing Yali lips to twitch.

As they entered the room, they saw a woman sitting down, with her eyes closed, glasses over them, and leg cross. She was adorned in an ordinary uniform, had long black hair that was tied in a bun tied by a wooden clip.

She had an extremely slim waist, with a large buttock that was pronounced, a long pair of legs that complemented her pronounced bottom. Even Na'er had to admit this woman had s_e_x_u_a_lity down, with her noticing the eyes of the men and even some women.

Staring at the woman's butt.

"Stop staring at my butt!" Na'er tilted her head as the woman opened her eyes causing all those who were glancing to blush before moving away.

"So you're the new Sea God Pavilion Master? Pretty."Said the woman as she got up, staring at Na'er with a slight blush on her face.

"You are?"

"My name is Ling Zichen. The director of the Tang Sect's soul ammunition research center! Now then, is there a reason why I was called?"

"We need your help-"

"I refuse." Said Ling Zichen in a blunt tone causing Na'er to freeze with a smile still on her face.

"...Excuse me-"

"You are excused, now I'm unsure if you notice but I'm dissatisfied with being transferred here without much explanation. I don't care about helping with the rebuilding process, you all already have people-, how rude. Didn't your teacher teach you not to point a spear at someone while they're talking."Said Ling Zichen, unfazed by the spear that was set at her throat.

"My teacher never really 'taught' me respect; what he did teach me was to smack around annoyances. Are you going to be an annoyance?" Na'er questioned with her smile that turned vicious.

"Oh? So little miss pretty has aggressive-"

Ling Zhichen couldn't say anything more before she felt herself crumbling to the ground as terrifying pressure descended on her. She felt the space around here was also pressing down on her causing her to tremble even more.

"Na'er... please."

"Of course mother~." Instantly the pressure let up from Ling Zichen, allowing her to move her body again.

Standing back up, she saw the smile on Na'er face, pure and beautiful, as if the actions and vicious smile before was an illusion.

"Huh, so you aren't just a pretty doll... I like you."Said Ling Zichen with a smirk, not minding or caring that Na'er struck out with her cultivation base.

"...You really are an odd one, reminds me of my hubby."

"Tang Wulin right? Where is he, I need to ask him some questions!" Ling Zichen swiftly crossed the distance between her and Na'er.

"Why are you so interested?"

"He killed the gods before, but he wasn't one... I wished to conduct some experiments or get a bit of his blood for some tests."

"You are a blunt one aren't you?" Na'er was looking at Ling Zichen with an odd expression, wondering if this girl was right in the head.

"I see no point in beating around the bush. I have no d_e_s_i_r_e to waste my time."

"... Mistress, why does the Tang Sect have all the peculiar ones?" Yali lips twitch while not knowing how to respond, as Na'er wasn't wrong.

Out of all of the Organization on the Douluo continent, the most extravagant ones were from the Tang Sects.

"Regardless, tell me about this help you need, whether or not it interests me I will decide."

"I'm guessing if it doesn't you won't stay?"

"Yes, even if you try forcing me with all your strength, I would refuse."

"We wouldn't do that Zichen." Said Yali causing Ling Zichen to glance at Yali before slightly nodding her head. Na'er pouted, finding it slightly annoying how almost everyone was nice and respectful to Yali.

With the exception being Wulin and Gu Yuena but both of them were freaks, so it didn't really matter or count. With a wave of her hand, Na'er began locking down space, making it, so no one could see or hear them.

"Short answer? We believe we have a foreign invasion underway and need your help to analyze their technology."

Ling Zichen didn't say, but Na'er and Yali saw her eyes shining before she released a laugh while throwing her head back.

"Out of everything, I didn't think it was an alien invasion and their technology. Alright, I am in!"Ling Zichen's eyes were shining with incredible light, finding it hard to keep her excitement in.

This was her chance to experience the delightful time of picking apart an alien civilization part by part.

How could she not be happy? If it wasn't for the lack of funds, she would put forth all of the Tang Sect resources into making a spaceship.

So they could explore the other planets that were around Douluo and maybe locate an alien civilization.

"Good, for a little while, we will have you see them on the holograms. As right now we're in a tense situation on the Douluo Continent and later will send you straight to the pillar later."

"That's fine, as long as I get to interact with them." Said Ling Zichen causing Na'er to nod her head before snapping her fingers.

"Sea God Pavilion Masters, they have appeared again."

"Where?"

"Alvarez this time and it seems they brought a force that is 100x bigger."

On the Continent of Ishgar, in the Alvarez Empire.

On the continent walls, stood Mu Xi as she gazed over the whole forest, town, and beach in front of her.

She was wearing a black shirt with golden ruins, covering her was a white jacket that went down to her waist. With blank tights and armored boots that were the same material around her arms.

'Strange... They should have attacked by now. Unless they're being cautious or waiting for us to make a mistake?' Thought Mu Xi as she glanced up to the sky.

At the moment they had already had most of the citizens moving towards the inner part of the Kingdom.

The inner part was reinforced and strengthened by Lacrima and soul technology, allowing it to withstand attacks from even Limit Douluo.

It was also being guarded by the students, who represent their last defense if the invasion ever became that bad.

'Just hurry up and come-'

Mu Xi eyes widened when she saw a light flashing in the sky, they moved down like a streak of light, moving towards the pillars.

She watched as the tower gave off a pearly white light before, in the next instant, countless amounts of creatures began to appear. She was able to tell they were over tens of thousands, from her Absolute Light and spiritual sense fusing.

Allowing her to sense everything that the light touches, her eyes narrowed as she thought that they were all kneeling as more of them appeared.

"This is Mu Xi. They have appeared and have brought over hundreds of thousands of soldiers, this time they mean business." Said Mu Xi with her soul communication out, with a voice speaking up.

"Okay, we will have a team ready to intercept them and relay this to the rest of the soldiers." Mu Xi nodded her head before putting the communicator away, continuing to observe them and saw they were still kneeling.

'Are they waiting for their general?'

"Strange..." A voice rang out beside Mu Xi, but she didn't turn as she knew it was Xu Xiaoyan beside her.

"Can you strike at them from this far?"

"I can... Who do you want me to strike?"

"Ideally the general... Let's wait till he appears or until they charge." Xu Xiaoyan nodded her head and after a few minutes, the soldiers stopped appearing.

With the last thing appearing being a creature that was adorned in emerald light and remarkable armor that gave off an eerie glow.

"Alright fire on him-"

It was then the city shook or to be more precise, the barrier that appeared around it did as a cloud of emerald smoke appeared.

Mu Xi and Xu Xiaoyan glance up, seeing there were hundreds of emerald-colored swords that were twirling in the air. Before they launched themselves towards the city, wishing to pierce and destroy the barrier.

"Can you take them out?"

"You don't even need to ask but what are you going to do?" Xu Xiaoyan titled her head as she saw the vicious grin on Mu Xi's face, something that was rare.

"I have some creatures I need to promptly burn."

With that, Mu Xi launched herself off the building, towards the oncoming army of creatures that had begun to march.

It wasn't just her but hundreds of shadows followed behind her, Xu Xiaoyan noting it was the Mu Xi squad.

"Huh, so Wulin did rub off on her... Alright, guys, you see the attacks in the sky, either have them strike somewhere else or destroy them." Xu Xiaoyan held out her bow as she latched on countless arrows to her bow.

The arrows began to swirl with ice and star energy, creating a brilliant beacon on the wall before they were released, flashing through the skies.

They all turned into a streak before they all reached the gigantic emerald swords in the air that was shooting forward.

In an instant, the arrows and sword clashed, with some of the swords falling to the ground from being knocked away.

The other swords broke, falling to the ground while the others were frozen and stripe with them also falling to the ground.

"Yes, Mam!" A chorus of voices sounded out from behind Xu Xiaoyan before the other people in her squad aimed their weapons.

Some had soul cannons, other their martial spirits, and even the swirling energy of the Body Sect Secret Technique. The cannons were released, streaking towards the sword with the power of a Title Douluo.

The martial spirits that were a bow, sword, spear, etc all released their energy attacks onto the other swords. While those with Body Sect unleashed their Heavenly Palm and Wall that formed projectile attacks onto the sword.

Leading them to all be destroyed and a show of fireworks, erupting explosively in the sky.
