They may appear on the mountainside, be hidden in the rock face, or be underwater.
Without exception, every cave shimmered with a black and red light.
"Roar!"
With a low growl, figures emerged from the dimensional portal.
Some of them are in the shape of beasts, some are in the shape of humans, and some are even strangely shaped.
They are all creatures of the abyss.
The moment they stepped out of the dimensional portal, the abyssal creatures roared to the sky, their ferocious faces revealing excitement.
"Forward! Kill everyone you see!"
The creatures of the abyss dispersed in groups in all directions.
Wherever it passed, it turned into a sea of fire.
The humans and animals encountered along the way were all devoured by the creatures of the abyss.
Not far from Xingluo City.
Lin Chuan was blocking the entrance to a dimensional portal, instantly killing all the abyssal creatures that appeared.
It was quite simple for him, but these abyssal creatures came in an endless stream, like a tide.
As he continued killing, Lin Chuan grew tired and weary.
This can't go on; nobody knows how many abyssal beings exist in the abyssal plane.
If the dimensional portal in front of us cannot be closed, killing more and more abyssal creatures will only be a temporary solution.
However, Lin Chuan was clearly not good at closing the dimensional portal.
He did not possess any spatial abilities, yet he could not leave and allow the creatures of the abyss to invade.
I don’t know how much time passed.
Hundreds and thousands of auras are rapidly approaching.
"There are some here too! Report this immediately; we need to send more people to provide support!"
"You are?"
Looking at the army that appeared in front of him, Lin Chuan frowned and asked.
The army leader responded in a deep voice, "We are the Xingluo City defense army, ordered to exterminate the monsters appearing throughout the territory."
"Thank you for your help, otherwise the civilians in the nearby towns would have been in great danger!"
"We'll be taking over this place from now on. If it's convenient, could you please help us?"
Hearing this, Lin Chuan frowned even more deeply.
"You mean these monsters have appeared in other places too?"
The middle-aged general in front of him nodded with a gloomy expression. "I don't know the specifics either, but according to intelligence from all over the empire, similar monsters have appeared everywhere."
"These monsters are not only powerful, but they also possess unknown powers. They may turn into monsters if they are injured!"
After receiving a positive reply, Lin Chuan's expression clearly changed.
He originally thought that 'Tang San' had only opened a dimensional portal before his death, but he was too naive.
The other party had clearly been preparing for a long time.
Even if Lin Chuan blocks the dimensional passage in front of him and kills the creatures of the abyss, there is no one guarding the other dimensional passages.
In addition, the unique nature of the creatures from the abyss makes them a much greater threat than imagined.
It seems that war is now unavoidable!
"I'll leave this to you."
After leaving behind these words, Lin Chuan flew directly towards Xingluo City.
"General, what should we do now?"
Seeing Lin Chuan leave without hesitation, the deputy general beside him couldn't help but ask.
The middle-aged general shook his head slightly, his expression resolute.
"Since he's unwilling to help, we'll have to rely on ourselves from now on!"
"Soldiers, behind us are the people of the Star Luo Empire, our parents, wives and children. Even if we die here, we absolutely cannot let these monsters pass."
After the middle-aged general boosted morale, hundreds of soldiers raised their spears and roared loudly.
"Roar!!!"
A large number of abyssal creatures once again emerged from the dimensional portal.
"Soldiers, prepare to meet the enemy!"
The army pressed forward and soon clashed with the creatures of the abyss.
Such a scene did not occur in only one place.
Countless abyssal creatures appeared, and the major cities immediately mobilized their armies to resist.
However, due to Dai Mubai's previous orders, the vast majority of the Star Luo Empire's army had been dispatched to the border of the Heaven Dou Empire, so the garrison forces in various places were insufficient.
Furthermore, the creatures of the abyss are not only powerful, but their strength is also quite bizarre.
Anyone injured in battle has a high chance of becoming one of the creatures of the abyss.
With the balance of power shifting, the Star Luo Empire quickly fell into a disadvantageous position.
Slaughter spread throughout the Stars and Earth.
Lin Chuan rushed back to Xingluo City immediately.
Even though it was the dead of night, Xingluo City was still brightly lit, and the streets were filled with troops coming and going.
In addition, many other Soul Masters also began to gather.
Lin Chuan didn't linger and plunged into the Star Luo Imperial Palace.
With Dai Mubai dead, the entire Star Luo Empire was leaderless, and Zhu Zhuyun could only temporarily take over the reins.
Zhu Jiayouming, the Grand Duke, also immediately entered the palace upon receiving the imperial edict.
The Duke of the Underworld, who was over fifty years old, also had an unusually somber expression.
"How could so many monsters suddenly appear?"
"Where did these monsters come from?"
The two questions in a row made Zhu Zhuyun's eyes flicker.
If she wasn't mistaken, it might be related to Dai Mubai and Tang San.
Zhu Zhuyun did not hide anything and told her father about the situation in detail.
The Grand Duke of the Underworld's expression changed drastically.
"Your Majesty is confused!"
“Father, Dai Mubai is dead. He is no longer the emperor. The most urgent task now is to deal with these monsters that have suddenly appeared.”
Zhu Zhuyun's voice was icy cold.
Upon hearing this, the Grand Duke of the Underworld calmly analyzed the situation.
"But nowadays, there is a shortage of manpower in various places, so it will not be easy to deal with these monsters."
"I have sent someone to the border to deliver a message to the marshal, asking him to return with the army as soon as possible to suppress these monsters, but it will take some time."
Zhu Zhuyun spoke again.
Grand Duke Youming nodded slightly, "Zhu Yun, you did the right thing, but we must also be wary of the Heaven Dou Empire and the Spirit Hall taking the opportunity to cause trouble."
Now that the Star Luo Empire is suddenly in turmoil, the Heaven Dou Empire and the Spirit Hall are likely to take advantage of the situation.
Even if things recover by then, the losses will still be severe.
Zhu Zhuyun was naturally aware of this, but could only shake her head helplessly.
"We can't worry about that now. If the Heaven Dou Empire and the Spirit Hall really take advantage of our misfortune, all we can do is endure it."
"If we don't eliminate these monsters soon, it may affect the foundation of the empire."
Even though she had only recently become empress, Zhu Zhuyun had been exposed to the world of empresses since childhood.
Therefore, they handle matters in a very organized and methodical way.
The Grand Duke of the Underworld was clearly aware of this as well, his brows never relaxed.
If they really ignore the Heaven Dou Empire and the Spirit Hall, then their Star Luo Empire is truly in deep trouble this time.
"Wait a minute," the Grand Duke of the Underworld suddenly suggested, "How about we drag the Heaven Dou Empire and the Spirit Hall into this and try to drive those monsters into the Heaven Dou Empire's territory?"
"We can't let only our Star Luo Empire suffer this calamity, can we?"
"This"
Zhu Zhuyun immediately hesitated.
