At present, the Western Army Corps and the abyssal legion were already engaged in battle. Despite the assistance from the Spirit Pagodas powerhouses, the Western Army Corps was suffering from great losses.

The Ghost Emperor and Qiangu Dieting were standing aside. In reality, how many quasi god-ranked powerhouses were with the Spirit Pagoda and the Western Army Corps? They were incapable of stopping the formidable enemies. Under the leadership of the Abyssal Mammoths, the abyssal creatures were charging toward the Western Army Corps soldiers akin to tigers coming upon a flock of sheep. Large numbers of the Abyssal Evil Sickles were stopped by the Spirit Pagodas powerhouses. However, the main killing force were the four monarchs from the abyss instead.

Agonizing screams were continuously heard coming from the sky.

The Black Monarchs right hand thrusted deeply into the Witch Douluo Li Mengjies chest. The Black Monarch yanked her heart out and devoured her life.

The Boxing King Douluo, who was tightly hugged by an abyssal monarch, gradually turned into a dried corpse.

The entire scene was in total chaos. The enemies were so powerful they could barely be resisted.

Had it not been Gu Yuena who stopped the Spirit Monarch, the battle would have been lost. Yet, how long could she hold back the Spirit Monarch? How long before the battlefield collapsed? No one knew.

In reality, it had only been a little over ten minutes since the abyssal legions appearance. It was truly a short duration. The collapse of the Western Army Corps happened so fast the moment they lost the battlefront!

Meanwhile, a howl was heard echoing through the sky. A stream of golden radiance appeared out of thin air and cut across the sky.

Simultaneously, gushes of incomparably strong auras appeared. They could be seen pouncing toward the abyssal legions powerhouses.

The reinforcements had finally arrived.

Having witnessed the situation over here, Yu Guanzhi and Chen Xinjie returned to the Central Army Corps command post immediately and began mobilizing the troops.

The deployment of the army troops was delayed a little. Meanwhile, the numerous powerhouses were sent instead.

Tang Wulin had already sensed it when Gu Yuena was engaged in the collision with the Spirit Monarch. He had a special bond with Gu Yuena that allowed him to sense her presence. He could clearly feel Gu Yuena fighting against a formidable enemy. Moreover, it was a daunting enemy unlike any other.

The soft spot in his heart was triggered. How could Tang Wulin refrain from panicking? Hence, he flew over at top speed as soon as he could. A group of powerhouses from the Tang Sect and Shrek Academy followed him naturally.

Tang Wulin spotted the Spirit Monarch at one glance. He also sensed the opponents terrifying aura immediately. His silhouette glistened as he flapped the wings on his back. In the next moment, he was already beside Gu Yuena.

Hes here. Gu Yuena felt his presence at once. She looked at the golden silhouette by her side. Her gaze fluctuated for a moment beyond her control.

Are you alright? Tang Wulins voice sounded concerned.

Gu Yuena nodded gently.

Tang Wulin turned his head to the side and looked at the opponent. He was stunned for a moment when he realized that the opponent looked quite similar to him.

Similarly, the Spirit Monarchs eyes lit up when he saw Tang Wulin.

So youre the human capable of threatening us as mentioned by the Sage King? Hmm, my impersonation is not perfect yet. You look better still. Its quite nice. I like the appearance of your mankind.

As he was speaking, the muscles on the Spirit Monarchs face began to contort in a ghastly manner. It took him only a moment before he appeared identical to Tang Wulin.

However, his expression changed a bit just as he was getting done with his contortion. He could sense the powerful auras coming from the group of powerhouses who were behind Tang Wulin.

The presence of the numerous Limit Douluos suppressed the entire scene instantly. They had defeated a few abyssal monarchs and stabilized the situation.

Yali held the Witch Douluo Li Mengjies body. As soon as she got hold of her, she knew that Li Mengjie was gone.

Although both of them were on opposing sides in the past, they still belonged to mankind and were powerhouses of the same gender and rank.

Actually, Yali could resurrect a newly-deceased person. However, Li Mengjie lost more than just her life. Her life force was completely gone. Her entire body had disintegrated. There were no more cell tissues that could be saved.

It was the act of the abyssal creatures which devoured everything. She stared in rage at the retreating Black Monarch. Her eyes were filled with resentment and anger.

The Spirit Monarch smiled. Thats quite interesting. No wonder the Sage King is serious about this. Its alright. Were not in a rush. We can play it slow. By the time our great array arrives, it will be the end of you. Lets withdraw.

Waving his hand once, he dismissed the abyssal legion. The abyssal legion on the ground receded instantly akin to the tidewater.

A group of the abyssal powerhouses and the Holy Spirit Cults powerhouses had returned to the Spirit Monarchs side. They stood in a row and glared fiercely at the humans on the opposite side.

Tang Wulin was about to say something when he felt a tug from Gu Yuena. He turned his head and saw her shaking her head at him.

Tang Wulin sensed something, but he let it drop.

The abyssal legion came quickly but were even quicker on the retreat. It took them only a short while to withdraw from the battlefield into the cavern where they came from initially.

Ill be back soon, wait for me. The Spirit Monarch with Tang Wulins facial features cracked into a malicious smile. The air that surrounded his body warped all of a sudden. In the next moment, he, together with the abyssal powerhouses, and the Holy Spirit Cults powerhouses vanished into the air. The powerful spiritual stress similarly disappeared at the same time.

After the auras were completely gone, Gu Yuenas body shook as she let out a soft grunt.

Tang Wulin hastily helped to support her shaking body. Gu Yue, you

Gu Yuena shook her head. My spirit has suffered some minor assaults. Im fine. His spiritual power is in the Divine Origin realm, and hes extremely powerful.

It was not an easy task for one to struggle free from a spiritual enchantment. How was it possible for her to do it without paying a price?

Let go of her. Meanwhile, a furious voice was heard.

Tang Wulin loosened his grasp on Gu Yuenas arm subconsciously. In the next moment, the slightly dishevelled Qiangu Zhangting flew over with the Coiling Dragon Staff in his hand.

He came to Tang Wulins side and said in rage, Do you think youre allowed to touch Na Na?

Tang Wulin was stunned for a moment, then he shifted his gaze to look at Gu Yuena. Gu Yuena lowered her head but did not say anything.

At that very moment, Tang Wulin felt that his heart was pierced by something. The intense pain made him feel like he was suffocating. The agonizing pain was choking him such that his face turned a little pale.

Lets go, said Gu Yuena softly. Upon saying that, she took the lead and flew off.

Qiangu Zhangting glared furiously at Tang Wulin. Im warning you. Stay away from Na Na.

Tang Wulin was completely oblivious to Qiangu Zhangtings warning. All he could think of was Gu Yuena lowering her head a moment earlier.

She had avoided his eye contact. She did not stop Qiangu Zhangting nor made any eye contact with him either.

It was the first time she did that.

In Tang Wulins mind, her heart had always been with him. Yet, it was the first time she had ever avoided him! He felt like he was losing her. The pain he felt was agonizing.

The situation on the ground was a mess.

More than half of the Western Army Corps defenses were destroyed completely. Only a few functioning soul devices were left with the remaining half.

During the melee earlier, the Western Army Corps lost over thirty thousand men overall. It was a third of the fighting forces! A large number of mechas had fallen as well.

They returned to their defense lines. They had no other barriers to stop the enemy and they were incapable of launching any artillery fire. Everything came so suddenly and unexpectedly. It was utterly a disaster for the Western Army Corps.
