Chapter 472 Ma Hongjun: Don't drag me down with you if you're courting death; The Abyss Tide is Opened
Just then, several streaks of light flew out from the temporary Sea God Pavilion and landed in front of Ma Hongjun.
The person in the lead was Long Yeyue, but she was now walking with a limp, and her aura seemed increasingly dim and weak.
Clearly, in order to escape Cupid's lock from Mingdu, he had burned too much of his life essence, damaging his very foundation.
"Seagod Island is the academy's most important ground. Your unauthorized intrusion is surely an attempt to provoke Shrek Academy—"
Long Yeyue's words were cut short as she was choked, unable to utter another sound.
Five red divine halos slowly emerged from behind Ma Hongjun, illuminating the surrounding void in a dazzling golden-red hue.
The scorching heat rushed towards them like a volcanic eruption, and the faint, high-pitched cry of a phoenix echoed in their ears, carrying an unyielding divine power.
"Now, you should know my true identity."
Looking at the crowd kneeling on one knee under the oppressive divine power, Ma Hongjun said in an extremely calm tone, "My purpose in returning to the academy this time is very simple: to preserve the last spark of hope for the academy."
Long Yeyue tilted her head slightly, her cloudy old eyes brimming with tears of excitement, her voice trembling with extreme joy.
"We beg our ancestors to have mercy and personally travel to the Federation to seek justice for the injustice suffered by the academy!"
Ma Hongjun, who had concealed the light of his divine halo, unconsciously twitched the corner of his mouth.
When Ma Honghou was invited out of the mountain by the current Tang Sect leader, Harosa, she naturally learned in detail from him what had happened.
Even now, the whole of Shrek City is buzzing about it, so it's hard for him not to know the truth.
Although Ma Hongjun was also very angry, why would Shrek Academy, which had stood for ten thousand years in Douluo Continent and sacrificed its life for justice, suffer such unfair treatment from the Federation and even end up in such a state?
Despite his anger, he was still very clear about his own limitations.
For more than two thousand years, he has been too busy grieving by Bai Chenxiang's grave to recover much of his divine power.
Given his current state, if he were to act rashly and go to Mingdu to seek justice for the academy, he would probably be crushed to death by the Cupid who possessed Rongrong's body, leaving not even a speck of ashes.
Not to mention, Tang Hao's task for him was simply to guard Shrek Academy and prevent the Douluo Federation from wiping out the entire academy.
Thinking of this, Ma Hongjun still kept a straight face and pretended to be profound, saying, "I have already said that I am here to oversee the academy and protect your lives, not to be your henchman and avenge you."
You don't need to worry too much about Cupid's power; she can't leave Qiankun Wenqing Valley too far at the moment. For you, the most important thing right now is to keep a low profile and avoid going out to cause trouble.
Dean Flanders once taught us that being afraid to cause trouble is indeed a sign of mediocrity. But the prerequisite is that you have the ability to clean up the mess afterward. If you can't distinguish right from wrong and recklessly cause trouble, you're practically courting death.
Although this quote was the earnest teaching of Dean Flander, whom he treated like his own father, Ma Hongjun was no longer the headstrong young man he once was.
Right and wrong should always be clearly distinguished, especially since he no longer has a god-king to back them up.
If I really get into some big trouble, I'll really become a dead bird.
Long Yeyue and the other elders of the Sea God Pavilion exchanged bewildered glances, clearly not expecting that their ancestor Ma Hongjun, whom they had regarded as their lifeline, would speak in such a cold tone.
As if unwilling to give up, Long Yeyue, despite her weakened state, pressed on urgently, "But Ancestor, now that the Golden Ancient Tree has been destroyed, and the Butterfly God Douluo's betrayal has caused extremely bad consequences, what should be done?"
The Golden Tree, a symbol of Shrek Academy's Sea God Pavilion, has now completely disappeared, directly shaking the very foundation of the academy.
Not to mention, it was Butterfly God Douluo who orchestrated the destruction of the Golden Tree.
The version now widely circulated outside the public has become that Shrek Academy committed numerous evils and deserved to die, while Butterfly God Douluo killed his own family for righteousness, which has even sparked a lot of public condemnation of Shrek Academy.
Of course, for Long Yeyue, although she spoke in a grand and righteous manner, what she cared about most deep down was still A Yin's initial private promise to help her revive her child.
Otherwise, she wouldn't have abandoned Yunming and run away alone in that critical moment.
But now the Golden Tree and Ah Yin have both disappeared without a trace, and the hope of reviving the child has also been extinguished.
In that short day, she also spent her days in tears.
Upon hearing this, Ma Hongjun frowned slightly, his face showing impatience.
He felt that the old woman was so disgusting that she seemed not to understand human speech, and said coldly, "You should know who else is living in the Golden Ancient Tree. That is Wu Tong's own grandmother."
Do you think Wu Tong would suddenly go crazy and do something so cruel to her own grandmother? Rather, did you actually witness Wu Tong herself commit the act?
It's just hearsay. Alright, that's all I have to say. Unless it's something absolutely crucial concerning the survival of the academy, don't bother me anymore.
After saying that, Ma Hongjun swaggered into the temporary Sea God Pavilion, leaving the few people outside staring at each other in disbelief.
In a secluded corner of the abyss passage, far from the core seal, wisps of gray air flowed continuously from the void, gradually swirling to form a massive, almost tangible vortex.
The surrounding space was strangely and violently distorted, and the spatial barrier seemed to be forcibly pushed open by some powerful force.
A pale, bloodless hand slowly emerged from the vortex, then suddenly clenched, unleashing a dense abyssal aura like a geyser.
In an instant, countless abyssal creatures began to scramble out of the vortex, piling up in a dark mass like a churning, boiling black tide, surging wildly towards the outside of the abyss passage.
As the gray vortex continued to expand, a huge black ant-like figure crawled out from the center of the vortex.
Its eight sharp, metallic claws gleamed beneath it, waving incessantly as its guillotines opened and closed.
"Attack the exit of the abyss passage at full speed, tear apart any obstacles you encounter along the way, and do not fail the expectations of the Holy Lord."
The Ant Queen coldly commanded the ordinary abyssal creatures that surged forth like a tide, while it itself lay prostrate on the edge of the vortex, its massive body as still as a rock.
As the commander of the vanguard, its primary task is to guard this newly formed abyssal vortex.
Only when enough of these ordinary abyssal creatures that serve as cannon fodder die can the abyssal energy they generate be further sustained and expand the vortex.
Until the vortex expanded to the point where it could attract more Abyss Emperors, and even the projection of the Abyss Saint King himself, to Douluo Continent.
Outside the abyss passage, a low and urgent alarm instantly broke the tense atmosphere, causing Zhang Huanyun, the nine Blood Gods, and every soldier in the Blood God Legion to change their expressions drastically.
Nanali, who was still completely unaware of what had happened, had at least learned Huo Yuhao's exact whereabouts from Yuan Enhui.
Hearing this noise, she asked with some confusion, "What does it mean that the alarm is so loud?"
The bombing raids by the Holy Spirit Cult have ceased. Those remaining hidden in the Endless Mountains are merely a few Title Douluos, hardly a threat.
"Let's go, the situation has changed."
Zhang Huanyun gave a brief and urgent order: "The reaction is coming from inside the abyss passage. The abyss tide has erupted. Such a loud alarm undoubtedly represents the highest level of abyss tide."
It seems the Abyss Plane is cooperating with the Holy Spirit Cult in its next move!
After a hasty explanation, he and the others transformed into streaks of light and sped towards the entrance of the abyss passage.
Meanwhile, within the Blood God Legion's camp, all units had begun a frantic mobilization.
Large soul-guided devices were dragged out of the underground warehouse and urgently deployed towards various defensive nodes of the abyss passage.
Huo Yuhao, who had just brought Long Yuxue back to the metal platform at the entrance of the abyss passage, naturally heard the sharp and piercing alarm.
Looking up, one could see that the soldiers were already standing ready on the wide metal platform.
All kinds of soul-guided turrets adjusted their firing positions in unison, their dark muzzles pointing directly into the depths of the passage, ready to fire.
Shields radiating a pale blue glow rose out of thin air, weaving together to form a massive defensive network.
The soldiers on duty were well-trained and in their respective positions, holding their breath and waiting for the first wave of attacks from the abyssal creatures.
Long Yuxue, who had just calmed down, felt her heart jump into her throat again, but she still took a deep breath and forced herself to remain calm, saying, "Lingbing, this is an alarm for the abyss tide to erupt."
This means that soon an enormous number of abyssal creatures will recklessly attack the seal of the entire passage, and there may even be abyssal emperor-level beings taking the opportunity to descend upon the Douluo plane.
But don't worry too much. Our Blood God Legion is quite familiar with dealing with the Abyss Tide and has corresponding contingency plans.
Before their main force charges in, we'll retreat to the second line of defense, which is the core defensive position for the rest of the operation.
Huo Yuhao's eyes were fixed on a particularly secluded and deep passage ahead, as if he could sense a huge vortex deep within the passage, greedily swallowing everything along the way.
At the core of his spiritual sea, the Eye of Destiny radiated a dazzling golden light.
The dual warnings of crisis from both spiritual power and the Eye of Destiny caused Huo Yuhao's heart to sink subconsciously.
He turned his head to look at Long Yuxue and said, "The timing of this so-called abyssal tide is too coincidental; it's probably not that simple."
I sense that Commander Zhang is leading his team at full speed. You should retreat to a safe area first and make sure to inform them of the situation here, reminding them not to let their guard down.
"And what about you, Lingbing?"
Seeing that Huo Yuhao had no intention of retreating with her, Long Yuxue turned pale and tried to dissuade him, saying, "Do you want to go back into the abyss passage and fight alone again?"
Even I can see that this is clearly an abyssal tide deliberately stirred up by the Abyss plane to retaliate against you. You're charging in alone, completely disregarding your own safety!
In her view, the white-haired boy in front of her had accomplished a feat that no human had ever achieved in over six thousand years, so his safety should naturally be the top priority.
If it weren't for the vast difference in strength between herself and her opponent, she would have wanted to knock the stubborn Lingbing unconscious and forcibly drag her back to a safe area.
Seemingly sensing the complex emotions in Long Yuxue's heart, Huo Yuhao did not explain further, but simply said in a gentle voice, "Danger and opportunity always coexist."
I know what I'm doing; I'm simply going to investigate the source of the abyssal tides. You don't need to try to persuade me anymore; just go.
Before Long Yuxue could say anything more, a murky wave of air, mixed with a fishy stench, along with the wave of abyssal creatures rushing forward, crashed violently against the light shield of the defensive line, causing the entire abyssal cave to shake violently.
Like a tidal wave, the abyssal creatures surged forth in a suicidal charge towards the heavily fortified position of the Blood God Legion.
In an instant, the hissing of abyssal creatures, the shouts of soldiers, and the explosions of soul-guided cannons rose and fell, plunging the scene into extreme chaos.
Huo Yuhao's figure had already vanished without a trace with a flash of silver light, without attracting the attention of any abyssal creatures.
Seeing this, Long Yuxue stomped her foot in frustration.
However, as a soldier, she quickly composed herself and, with the One-Word Battle Armor activated, immediately turned and sprinted towards the second line of defense.
She had to report Ling Bing's warning to Zhang Huanyun and the others who were about to arrive as soon as possible.
Deep within the abyss passage, the extremely dense abyssal aura was almost tangible, constantly washing over the invisible airflow formed by the abyssal isolation shield, making Huo Yuhao feel as if he were enveloped by a balloon with ever-rippling water.
Fortunately, at this moment, Huo Yuhao's simulated soul skill and mental interference field were both operating at full power.
The densely packed abyssal creatures along the way, who only knew how to charge outwards madly, were completely unaware that a human dared to go against the current under such circumstances.
However, Tianmeng's slightly worried voice rang directly in Huo Yuhao's ears.
"Yuhao, the metal ring on your head seems to be unable to withstand the erosion of such a high density of abyssal aura. Cracks have begun to appear in its structure."
Once the protection of the Abyss Isolation Shield is gone, there will be a huge difference in the core laws between Douluo Continent and the Abyss Plane.
Enveloped in such a high concentration of abyssal aura, Huo Yuhao's Spirit Eye and Ice Dragon King Martial Soul will be unable to function properly.
