It was at this moment that Tang Wulin also sprang into action. He took a step forward, and a look of intense focus appeared in his eyes as the light radiating from the Golden Dragon Spear became completely internalized, turning the spear a pure golden color, following which he gently thrust it toward the Black Sovereign.

The Black Sovereign wore a grim expression as she looked on at Tang Wulin. Even though he wasn't being enhanced by the Blood God Array, she could clearly sense that he had become far more formidable than that time. Even more worthy of concern was the fact that the spear he was wielding had also become more fearsome.

The Black Sovereign's body transitioned between illusion and reality, and she swept her right hand through the air, flicking her fingers toward the Golden Dragon Spear as if she were playing an imaginary zither.

A series of black scales appeared over her hand as her fingers instantly transformed into sharp claws, and the Golden Dragon Spear was repelled with a crisp clang, but one of the scales on the Black Sovereign's hand had turned completely white before falling off like a withered leaf.

The Black Sovereign harrumphed coldly in response. She had already restricted the Golden Dragon Spear's devouring power to the smallest possible area, but it was still a very uncomfortable sensation.

She stomped a foot down onto the ground, and another massive black vortex appeared beneath her, tearing a rift into Yali's protective barrier, following which the black light surged toward Tang Wulin in the form of countless giant black tendrils.

A series of huge blue vines emerged around Tang Wulin to directly clash with these black tendrils, and a cold smile appeared on the Black Sovereign's face upon seeing this as tremendous devouring force instantly erupted from the black tendrils.

Tang Wulin could instantly feel his soul power and life force being rapidly engulfed by his opponent.

Among the sovereigns of the abyss, the Black Sovereign was renowned for her devouring prowess, and this was why the Holy Lord had sent her to target Tang Wulin. With her present on the battlefield, it would become a lot more difficult for Tang Wulin to devour abyssal energy as he pleased.

However, the Black Sovereign's cold smile instantly congealed as arcs of rainbow lightning appeared over the surfaces of the Bluesilver Emperor vines, right as she began devouring Tang Wulin's power.

The lightning was also devoured by the black tendrils, and the Black Sovereign instantly let loose an agonized cry.

Lightning then crackled all over her entire body as she rapidly fell back in retreat.

All of this had taken place in the blink of an eye, and the Black Sovereign had been forced back into retreat before Ghost Emperor had even figured out what was happening.

It was of course unbeknownst to the Black Sovereign that Tang Wulin had been adopting an extremely rigorous heavenly refinement regimen for the past few months, thereby allowing him to absorb a vast amount of elemental lightning.

The lightning formed by elemental tribulations represented the wrath of the entire plane. It contained the purest planar power of the Douluo Continent, and it was imbued with the destructive explosiveness of lightning, making it the bane of all things evil.

Furthermore, its power was being further enhanced by the Infernal Lightning Vine, and the Black Sovereign was completely caught off guard.

In the meantime, everyone else had also sprung into action.

Yali was unable to focus on maintaining her protective barrier any longer as the human army on the main battlefield was already on the verge of collapse.

That's right, an army of 70,000 elite troops supported by all types of advanced soul weapons was almost instantly crushed by the opposing army.

The reason for this was very simple: there were far too many powerful beings in the opposing army.

Aside from the three quasigods, all of the figures standing atop the other giant black beetles were also extremely formidable beings, most of whom were from the Holy Spirit Cult.

Evil Soul Masters excelled in slaughter, and a large battlefield like this one was the perfect place for them to flourish.

As for the giant beetles themselves, they didn't seem to possess much offensive prowess, but their physical defenses were so strong that taking a direct explosion from a sixth-grade soul missile could only stop them in their tracks for a moment.

These abyssal creatures were known as Guardian Longhorned Beetles, and they possessed the greatest defensive prowess among all abyssal creatures. These abyssal creatures resided on the 10th level of the abyss, and even though their offensive prowess was rather lackluster, their flight speed and defensive capabilities were astonishing.

As such, even though they didn't have a large population, they had always been one of the main types of combat units in the abyssal army, assigned with the task of protecting other powerful abyssal creatures.

The leader of the Guardian Longhorned Beetle Race, also known as the Longhorned Beetle Lord, was the Holy Lord's personal steed, and that was sufficient testament to the status that this race held in the abyssal plane.

At this moment, the several dozens of Guardian Longhorned Beetles had formed a giant barricade in the sky, keeping the vast majority of enemy attacks at bay, thereby allowing the powerful beings of the Holy Spirit Cult to wreak havoc as they pleased.

The two heavenly monarchs that Tang Wulin had encountered in the past, Dark Bell and Dark Phoenix, were both present, and they were leading the powerful beings of the Holy Spirit Cult on a rapid descent.

Their objective wasn't to kill as many people as possible; it was to destroy the large defensive soul tools.

In the brief period of time that had elapsed during the clash between the Limit Douluos, the defensive soul tools on two mountaintops had already been destroyed.

Without the support of a sufficient number of these large defensive soul tools, the human army's defeat would be imminent.

As such, as soon as Yali noticed what was happening, she immediately set her sights on the powerful beings of the Holy Spirit Cult, for whom she was the perfect counter.

Her eighth soul ring lit up, immediately followed by the ninth, and a holy song rang out around her.

She slowly began to rise up into the air, and in that instant, even a powerful being of Ghost Emperor's caliber was struck by a potent sense of foreboding.

This is bad! 

Ghost Emperor immediately realized that something was wrong, and he wanted to stop Yali, but he was met by a pair of giant fists, namely Yuanen Zhentian's Divine Cloudvortex Fists!

Yuanen Yehui had invented the Divine Cloudvortex Fists, and following some guidance from Er Ming, it had become one of the Yuanen Family's most powerful battle techniques. At this moment, it was being unleashed by the quasigod level Yuanen Zhentian!

In terms of overall power, a rookie quasigod like him was still inferior to Ghost Emperor by a significant margin, but at the same time, there was no way that Ghost Emperor could defeat him in a short time.

An angelic song rang out across the entire sky, and Yali wore a warm smile as she hovered in mid-air with her arms crossed over her chest.

Pairs of pristine white wings slowly unfurled behind her, amounting to a total of six pairs.

The 12 wings flapped gently as nine golden pillars of light projected down from above, making it appear as if nine suns had been conjured up in the sky.

A figure appeared within each of the nine suns; they were a series of golden angels, each with six golden wings on their backs.

As soon as they appeared, the time and space on the entire battlefield seemed to have warped slightly, causing everyone to look up in unison.

For all of the humans on the battlefield, they felt as if their bodies and souls had been elevated to a whole new level. This was an indescribably wonderful feeling of intense comfort, and their powers were instantly enhanced by over 30%.

Immediately thereafter, the nine golden angels flapped their wings in unison, causing countless specks of golden radiance to rain down from the heavens.

The storm of golden light covered such a large area that it encompassed virtually the entire defensive line beneath it.

These were Yali's two most powerful soul skills: Archangel's Dance and Angelic Blessing!

Both of these soul skills were of the healing and assistance classes, and Yali had been able to use them as soon as she had become a Titled Douluo.

However, even as a Titled Douluo, she was only able to use Angelic Blessing once a year, and she had to ignite her flame of life to do so.

Even as a Limit Douluo, she was only able to use Angelic Blessing once a day, and that was a clear testament to just how powerful the soul skill was.
