Douluo: Martial Soul White Tiger, I am the White Emperor of Heaven

Just then, hurried footsteps sounded in the distance, and a Soul Master with a panicked expression ran back. His uniform was covered in dust, and blood was dripping from the corner of his mouth, clearly indicating that he had encountered danger. "It's bad! Lord Xueyan, Captain Zhao, a large number of Void Monsters have appeared ten miles to the west, and a new rift is rapidly expanding, even larger than the previous one!"

As soon as the words were spoken, the ground suddenly shook violently, and the walls of the outpost creaked as if they were about to collapse at any moment. In the distance, on the wasteland, a black crack burst forth from the earth, and grayish-white mist gushed out from the crack like a fountain, instantly enveloping a large area. The temperature in the air dropped sharply, and the shrubs that had just begun to show a hint of green turned yellow and even began to rot.

"Not good, the rift has erupted prematurely!" Qian Renxue's expression changed. She forcibly circulated the last of her soul power, her body trembling slightly. "It seems that the Void Lord from before was just the vanguard. The real crisis has only just begun." She could feel that the Void power emanating from the new rift was several times stronger than that of the previous Void Lord, and it also contained several completely different terrifying auras. Clearly, the enemy that appeared this time was far more troublesome than the one before.

Zhao Feng immediately summoned all support team members and loudly ordered: "Everyone, listen up! Form a defensive formation immediately! Healing Soul Masters, stay in the rear and stand by. Detection Soul Masters, continue to monitor the rift's dynamics. Combat Soul Masters, come with me to the west to intercept the Void Monsters and buy time for Lady Xueyan to recover!"

"Yes!" all the support team members responded in unison and quickly sprang into action. A dozen combat soul masters, armed with soul tools, followed Zhao Feng toward the western rift, while the detection soul masters dispersed to monitor the area around the rift, and the medical soul masters set up a temporary medical point near the outpost, ready to treat any injured team members at any time.

Lin Mo supported Qian Renxue and said with a firm look in his eyes, "Xueyan, you stay here to recuperate. I'll go support Zhao Feng and the others. I won't let those void monsters get close to the outpost."

Qian Renxue shook her head, gritted her teeth, and forced herself to stand up. Although the angelic power within her was weak, it slowly began to circulate under her willpower. "No, I have to go. The power in that rift is too great; you alone cannot handle it. Although my combat strength is greatly reduced now, angelic power has a restraining effect on void power, so perhaps I can be of help." As she spoke, she took out a golden jade pendant from her bosom. It was a heirloom of the angelic family, containing a trace of pure angelic primordial power, a contingency plan she had deliberately left behind.

Qian Renxue held the jade pendant in her hand, activating her soul power. The pendant instantly emitted a dazzling golden light, and a pure angelic power surged from it, slowly flowing into her body, nourishing her damaged meridians and restoring some of her soul power. Although she couldn't return to her peak condition, she could at least use basic angelic soul skills and barely participate in the battle.

Seeing her resolute attitude, Lin Mo stopped trying to dissuade her and nodded, "Alright, let's go together, but you must be careful and don't push yourself." After saying that, he helped Qian Renxue and hurried towards the western crevice.

Meanwhile, on the western wasteland, the battle had already begun. Zhao Feng led a dozen or so combat Soul Masters, forming a solid defensive line to intercept the endless stream of Void Monsters pouring out from the rifts. These Void Monsters were completely different from those encountered before; not only were they more numerous, but they were also much stronger. Among them were some gigantic monsters that had reached the Soul Douluo level. Their bodies were covered in black scales, and they spewed black venom from their mouths. Each attack carried a strong aura of nothingness, capable of corroding the Soul Masters' Soul Power and bodies.

"Boom!" A Soul Emperor-level support team member unleashed a massive fire soul skill, blasting it towards a group of void monsters. The flames collided with the black void aura, creating a violent explosion. A large number of small void monsters were burned to ashes by the flames, but the giant monsters at the Soul Douluo level were only slightly burned by the flames and were not greatly affected. Instead, they became even more ferocious, waving their huge claws and charging towards the defensive line.

Zhao Feng, wielding a massive battle axe, leaped into the air, his soul power surging. Intense golden soul power condensed on the axe, and he swung it towards the head of a gigantic, ethereal monster. "Crack!" The battle axe struck the monster's scales with a piercing metallic clang, sparks flying, but it only left a shallow mark on the monster's scales.

"Such hard scales!" Zhao Feng was startled and quickly used the momentum to retreat, avoiding the giant monster's claws. The claws, carrying a strong aura of nothingness, grazed his shoulder, instantly corroding his clothes and leaving a deep wound on his skin. Black venom spread along the wound, causing a piercing pain.

"Captain Zhao, be careful!" a Soul Master shouted, releasing a defensive Soul Skill to block in front of Zhao Feng. "Boom!" The giant monster's claws slammed heavily onto the defensive Soul Skill, shattering it instantly. The Soul Master was blasted away, spitting blood and losing his fighting ability.

The situation instantly became critical. Although the support team fought valiantly, the number and strength of the Void Monsters were increasing, and multiple breaches had appeared in the defensive line. Many team members were injured, and some had even lost their fighting ability. If this continued, it wouldn't be long before the defensive line was completely breached, and the Void Monsters would spread towards the outpost and even further afield.

Just then, Qian Renxue and Lin Mo arrived. Seeing the scene before her, Qian Renxue's eyes turned cold. Without hesitation, she activated the angelic power within her and the primal power within the jade pendant, spreading her hands to instantly envelop the entire defensive line in a golden light shield. The golden shield radiated a sacred aura. The void monsters that rushed towards the defensive line, upon contact with the golden shield, emitted piercing screechs, their bodies rapidly burning, instantly turning into black smoke and disappearing without a trace.

"It's the power of angels!" Zhao Feng's heart leaped with joy, instantly seeing hope. He endured the pain in his shoulder, leaped up again, and gathered even stronger soul power on his battle axe, slashing towards the giant void monster. This time, the golden soul power and the power of angels merged together, forming a golden sword aura that instantly struck the giant monster's scales.

"Crack!" This time, the giant monster's scales were easily severed, and the golden sword energy struck its body, producing a violent explosion. The giant monster let out a painful howl, its body rapidly shrinking into black smoke, which was then completely purified by the golden light shield. (End of Chapter)
