They are the sharpest blade of the Abyss Cult and the absolute backbone of its strength. The will of the Abyss Cult needs them to be executed.
"Where is the core abyss energy block? Is it ready too?" Kong turned around and asked while looking at the torrent in front of him.
Apart from the No.1 farmland core, which still had no clue about it, the most important thing was the abyss energy block that the cult had been preparing for a long time.
Although the Abyss Order is the organization that has the most contact between Teyvat and the Abyss, they do not dare to take the use of the power of the Abyss lightly.
The madness and taboos of the abyss would devour even an apostle-level monster, leaving nothing behind if it wasn’t careful.
The Abyss Cult can only consolidate the extremely unstable Abyss into usable energy blocks.
But even so, it is still an extremely dazzling achievement. The madness of the abyss is both its danger and its strength.
The abyssal energy that was filled by Kanriya hundreds of years ago still drives the ruins guard movement scattered across the country.
With the energy stored in the cult now, Kong has the confidence to drive the demon god that destroyed the world a thousand years ago, and it is the kind that will never get tired.
"Your Highness, please forgive me for being blunt. Have you made up your mind about your new goal?"
"Naturally, the Whirlpool Demon God Osel. He is our new target." Sora looked up at the dark crust and said confidently.
Originally, the cult's target was Tevarin, but unfortunately, Tevarin had already gotten rid of the erosion of the poisonous blood and resumed his duties as the guardian of the four winds.
Trying to corrupt him again is probably unrealistic.
And Osel fits the cult's criteria perfectly. Lonely, defeated, resentful, this is a demon god born to be corrupted by the abyss.
"Oh no, Your Highness! Something is stealing our Abyssal Energy! I can't defeat it!"
Just as Sora was thinking about how to transform Osel, a fiery figure ran over in a hurry.
That was Yuanshang who was sent to watch over the warehouse.
Chapter 275: Battle Underground
2023-11-05
"No... It's not good! Your Highness, something is running in!" Yuanshang brought his own light source and ran out from the darkness.
Today was really his unlucky day. He had thought he could spend his days leisurely in the warehouse as usual, but he didn't expect that something would attack the cult.
This was the first time since the founding of the cult. So Yuan Shang decisively took his friends and ran away.
It’s not that he didn’t try hard, but the enemy was just too powerful.
Thinking of the huge trees that broke through the earth's crust, Yuan Shang couldn't help but shudder. Regardless of what those trees were, just their size alone would crush him to death.
"What? Go to the warehouse!" Kong's eyes widened suddenly, then he suppressed his shock and strode towards the warehouse.
He wanted to see, but what creature dared to attack the headquarters of the Abyss Cult!
Kong, with Yuanshang and a large group of Abyss Apostles behind him, shuttled rapidly in the dark underground.
The pitch-black darkness seemed to them to be non-existent.
It's hard not to suspect that those bonfires were simply there to set the mood.
The endless darkness finally showed some new changes. At the end of Sora's sight, a dazzling golden curtain fell from the sky, standing out so abruptly in the darkness.
"That...what is that thing!"
"It looks like gold. Is there any country on earth with a style like this?"
"Gold... No! That's a tree. A really big tree!"
……
Even the Abyss Apostles, who were known for their silence, couldn't help but exclaim when they saw the scene before them.
The golden light that covered the sky and the sun fell from the dome, as if something had broken the thick earth's crust and allowed the light to pour into the ground.
But all the apostles knew that the light underground was not like that. The light was emitted by the huge vines intertwined above the dome.
Yuan Shang heard his companions exclaiming and curled his lips. What about the apostles? They couldn't even recognize the trees.
Unlike him, he recognized that it was a big tree at first sight and simply pulled his friend and ran away without any hesitation.
Of course, Yuan Shang Kengei didn't dare to say this. He was a nobody in the cult, and once he said this, let alone how Kong would punish him for his dereliction of duty, his colleagues would not let him go.
What? You said Yuan Shang is the Chanter? Sorry, from being a little transparent in the Abyss Mage to being a little transparent in the Abyss Apostle, is there any change between the two?
There are still some, at least Yuanshang doesn’t have to be sent to the ground to cause trouble, and he can also drag his friends to fish together.
"Alright! Activate the elemental shield! I won't say more, you all know it!"
As Kong raised his arm, the apostles stopped shouting in surprise. Then, a bladeless sword appeared in his other hand, and he rushed towards the swirling golden tree.
"sulfuric acid--"
Sparks fell between the empty sword and the bark of the golden tree like rain, and the sound even shattered the stalactites on the dome in the distance.
"So hard!" Kong looked at the tip of the sword which was less than an inch past his, with a look of shock on his face.
Although his strength has not yet fully recovered, it is still no problem for him to fight against the Seven Gods.
This kind of power can only leave such a shallow gap on the tree?
Could it be that the World Tree has mutated?
Kong looked up at the huge wooden vine in front of him, but unbeknownst to him, the golden tree was also looking at him.
Was there anything that could have left a wound on him?
"Boom!" The giant root on the ground suddenly stirred. It was like a wooden dragon rising from the ground, destroying everything in front of it.
Do you really think that the Golden Tree is easy to bully? If you want to bully it, you must at least defeat its incarnation first. Although it has not even condensed its incarnation yet.
Xiao Huang was submissive to Ember because Ember had beaten his mother's incarnation, the Beast of Elden, to his knees and sang "Conquer".
Kong? Who is he? Can I eat him?
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
The advantages of the large size were fully demonstrated at this moment. Every strike of the golden tree was like an earthquake.
Huge clouds of dust flew out from the golden light. The dark purple abyss of stability was swirling, and the entire underground was emitting waves of mournful cries.
Kong looked up at the dome of the cave. Because of the swaying of the golden tree, the crust above the dome had even cracked.
Judging from this, it won’t be long before this cave hidden deep beneath the earth is buried by rock and soil.
"Damn"
Sora spread out his palms, and countless water elemental forces gathered. In the ground where gold and black intertwined, a new indigo suddenly emerged.
These elemental forces turned into pure water and were continuously compressed in Sora's hands.
"呲-"
Then he waved his hand, and the water that had been compressed for a long time turned into a thin line and gushed out at such a fast speed that it reached the side of the golden tree in the blink of an eye.
It was obviously water, but it was sharp enough to cut human skin.
The golden tree was keenly aware of the approaching danger, and it danced its giant roots above the ground, trying to dodge Kong's attack.
"Come down!"
Kong pulled his other hand downwards, and a giant green vine emerged from the ground and quickly wrapped around the flying golden tree.
"Bang bang bang!"
Although the vines roughly grown from the grass element were equally huge, they were not as tough as the golden tree. In just a moment, these green vines broke off.
But a moment was enough.
"boom!"
The water line hit the giant root of the golden tree, and immediately there was a series of loud noises.
The water line, which was less than a finger's thickness, exploded, and the water mist formed almost covered the entire battlefield, which shows how much water was compressed in it.
"Bang bang bang!"
Amid the roar, there was also the faint sound of rocks breaking - the water droplets splashing from the waterline were as powerful as the Fatui's bullets!
"call--"
The hazy golden color suddenly shook, and the golden tree actually faced the sharp water knife directly.
"Hah!" Upon seeing this, Kong immediately put away his elemental combat skills, gripped the hilt of the sword with one hand, and supported the sword with the other to block.
"Hey!"
There was a loud sound of metal clashing, and Kong instantly flew out. However, as his wind wings spread out in the air, Kong actually flew up directly in the windless place.
"Whoosh, whoosh..." Kong urged the flowing wind to stabilize his body in the air.
Through the faint light emitted by the golden tree, Kong saw the horrifying wound on the giant root of the golden tree.
But Kong looked up at the golden sky wriggling above the dome, and a feeling of frustration rose in his heart.
A wound of this magnitude is nothing but a drop in the bucket for the huge monster in front of them.
"Is this the only way?" Kong took a few deep breaths and whispered softly.
"It's good to exercise!" Then his eyes became firm. Kong raised his hand, looked at the location of the golden tree, and stretched out his hand to shake it.
"Om-"
The space seemed to be eroded by something horrible, and irregular gaps appeared out of thin air. Inside the gaps was the brilliant starry sky.
But things that flow out from the starry sky are not so beautiful.
Pitch-black mixed with red seeped out from the gap. It seemed like the craziest thing in the world, destroying everything in its path.
The power of the abyss flowed, and soon covered the golden tree. The abyss did not obey Kong's command, it attached to the golden tree simply because the golden tree was closest to it.
The gold was covered by darkness, and soon, the underground returned to darkness again, with only the golden light above the dome still shining.
Kong shook his dizzy head and was about to make the gap bigger, but he saw the golden color on the dome gradually disappear.
"Cough, cough, cough!"
Seeing this, Kong instantly closed the gap that led to the abyss. In that short moment just now, he felt like his head was about to explode.
"Your Highness, how do you feel?"
