At this point, only five or six mountains remained under the Northern Legion's control, and the defensive line could crumble at any moment. However, right at this moment, the masses of advancing abyssal creatures suddenly fell still, as if they had been immobilized and rooted to the spot.

A burst of golden light flashed through the sky like lightning, instantly piercing through the darkness.

The golden light landed not far away from Dark Bell, which was exactly where Guo Zhenfeng had just been inundated by masses of abyssal creatures.

In the instant that it landed on the ground, a burst of enormous might erupted forth alongside a deafening dragon's roar, and a series of giant golden dragons pounced in all directions, instantly wiping out all of the abyssal creatures within a diameter of around 100 meters.

What was even more alarming was that once these abyssal creatures were reduced to destructive energy, they converged toward that burst of golden light rather than dissipating into the air.

As soon as Dark Bell caught sight of that burst of golden light, she immediately turned and fled, flying back into the masses of abyssal creatures as a streak of darkness.

As she fled the scene, she couldn't help but be astonished by how quickly reinforcements had arrived. How had he arrived so soon?

The golden streak of light that had descended from the heavens finally became clear, and it was revealed to be a golden spear that was radiating dazzling golden light with dragon patterns running along its entire surface.

In addition to the abyssal creatures that had just been slain, the grey energy from the abyssal creatures that had been destroyed nearby also flew toward the spear, quickly forming a funnel-like vortex that was rapidly surging into the golden spear.

A figure then descended from above, landing beside Guo Zhenfeng, who was already riddled with wounds. The figure helped Guo Zhenfeng to his feet while grabbing onto the center of the spear with his other hand.A layer of golden light immediately surged into his body from the spear, basking his entire body in golden radiance, and a powerful aura of life energy naturally rose up from his body, giving him the appearance of a deity that had descended into the world of mortals.

Guo Zhenfeng was gasping for breath, and he was currently on the verge of collapse.

He had expended an enormous amount of energy in a very short period of time, and Dark Bells was the last straw that broke the camel's back. He was no longer able to resist the swarm of abyssal creatures that had climbed over his body, and if his savior had arrived any later than he had, he would've already been dead.

"Who are you?" Guo Zhenfeng asked as he turned toward his savior, upon which he was greeted by the sight of a handsome young man that stood like an immovable mountain.

Even with countless abyssal creatures around him, he was a beacon of calmness.

"I'm Tang Wulin from Shrek Academy. You must be Commander Guo Zhenfeng, right? Please accept our apologies for arriving so late."Looking at Guo Zhenfeng's tattered suit of three-word battle armor, a hint of admiration welled up in Tang Wulin's heart. Even though he was a legion commander, he was leading by example, battling to his very last breath; he was truly a source of pride for the federal military.

Tang Wulin had once harbored a very negative impression of the military, but he had to admit that the Northern Legion was worthy of praise.

In the face of this abrupt outbreak of abyssal creatures, the legion had been able to set up one defensive line after another, combating these tireless and fearless creatures for such a long time.

Despite its lack of powerful Soul Masters, the legion was able to prevent the abyssal creatures from rushing deeper into the continent, and it had cost them a massive price.

Right now, what remained of the Northern Legion could barely even be called a battalion, but it was their valiant sacrifice that had bought the reinforcements precious time.

"Have, have the reinforcements arrived?" Guo Zhenfeng's voice was slightly feeble, but still full of hope.

"Rest assured, Commander Guo; the reinforcements have already arrived, so you can leave the rest to us."Tang Wulin wound an arm around Guo Zhenfeng for support as he spoke, then rose up into the air, heading toward the closest hill that was still under the control of the Northern Legion.

"How many troops are the reinforcements comprised of, Sect Master Tang? There's virtually no end to these accursed creatures, and I have no idea how many more are still to come," Guo Zhenfeng said in a concerned manner.

"In order to get here as early as we could, there are only five of us here right now, but the subsequent reinforcements will arrive in about five hours to construct a defensive barricade," Tang Wulin replied."What? There are only five of you?" The hope that had just welled up in Guo Zhenfeng's heart was instantly doused.

"What are five people going to be able to do? Even if it's five Titled Douluos, there's no way you'll be able to stop these things! Do you know what the consequences will be if we allow these creatures to enter the continent? They're even more terrifying than locusts; all living beings will perish before them! Forests will be reduced to deserts, even this land of ice and snow could be corrupted; we have to force them back at all costs! If we allow them to reach further inland, an unimaginable disaster will await us!"

Tang Wulin was naturally able to understand his current emotions. After all, he had served at the Blood God Legion, which had been facing the same enemy for countless years.

"Rest assured, Commander Guo; there's no way they'll be able to advance any further than this point."

He arrived on the hilltop as he spoke, then set Guo Zhenfeng down before pointing toward the distance. "Take a look, Commander Guo."

Guo Zhenfeng did as he was told, and he immediately caught sight of a vast expanse of gentle white light descending from the heavens, transforming into five massive pillars of light that encompassed the five remaining mountains under the Northern Legion's control.

Everyone, including Guo Zhenfeng, was bathed in this white light, and a surge of warmth was instantly injected into their bodies, instantly wiping away their extreme physical and mental exhaustion.

In contrast, as soon as the abyssal creatures rushed into this white light, they would melt away like snow and ice.

Immediately thereafter, two gargantuan apes that were even taller than the mountains around them descended from the heavens.

In the instant that they landed on the ground, formidable shockwaves erupted in all directions, reducing countless abyssal creatures to grey energy.

One of the massive apes threw its head back and let loose a thunderous roar, then abruptly bent forward, slamming its giant fists heavily onto the ground.

Terrifying shockwaves immediately erupted forth from the impact, wiping out all abyssal creatures within a radius of a kilometer.

Guo Zhenfeng was struggling to process what he was seeing. As a Titled Douluo himself, he was naturally aware of how fearsome top-tier Soul Masters could be on the battlefield, but never had he seen anyone display such incredible combat prowess.

This was definitely no ordinary Titled Douluo!

"Perhaps five Titled Douluos wouldn't be enough, but I'm sure five Limit Douluos will be," Tang Wulin said.

Right at this moment, a Soul Master with five-colored light radiating from his body descended behind Tang Wulin. Even though he wasn't doing anything, he was still off an indescribably intimidating aura; this was none other than Qilin Douluo Tong Yu.

The new arrivals were the five Limit Douluos, including Tang Wulin. Tang Wulin wasn't a Limit Douluo yet, but after crushing Qiangu Dongfeng in that clash, no one was going to dispute the fact that he already possessed Limit Douluo level power.
