Douluo: The Peerless Eye of Heaven Yu Hao

The flames of war burned, and waves of soul power surged, reflecting the cruel faces of countless abyss creatures. They bathed in the roar, returned from death, and launched an attack on the human defense line again.

"Fuck you, monster from the abyss!"

Outside Mingdu, the soul masters and soldiers in the three lines of defense had bloodshot eyes and were exhausted, performing repetitive movements like machines.

Today is the end of the second day of their resistance against the invasion of the abyss.

Originally, with the help of soul guides, people were able to suppress the pace of the abyss army. However, as more and more soul guide shells were consumed, one soul guide launcher after another was overloaded and completely collapsed, the abyss army never decreased in number.

It seemed as if this attack would never stop.

Humans are not machines, they get tired.

Even though Mingdu was the place with the largest number of soul masters and soul guides in the Sun-Moon Empire, it could no longer bear the pressure due to the extremely long battle line and consumption.

In the commander's tent at the rear, the four beast king-level soul instructors, as well as the rest of the soul instructors and legion commanders, all found Orange.

Even the powerful men of the Sun-Moon Empire, such as Xu Tianyuan, who were once high-spirited and seemed superior, now looked a little tired and confused.

The reason why they found the oranges was very simple. The soldiers could not bear it anymore, and the army had to withdraw to the Ming capital city and rebuild the defense line with the help of the newly built fortifications.

Mingdu has many urban areas, and fortifications have been built in each urban area, which can also be used to divert the troops of the abyss, preventing them from concentrating their forces to attack one point.

This will also relieve stress and allow soldiers to rotate better to rest and recover.

There was a look of fatigue between Ju Zi's brows. She hadn't slept for several days. She came to the monitoring screen and looked at the ground with constant flames and the abyss creatures that were still running out of the hole. Her eyes suddenly became fierce, "Xu Tianyuan, I order you to prepare three level eight fixed-type soul guide shells and one level nine fixed-type soul guide cannon."

"First, use level 8 fixed-type shells to clean out a wave of abyssal creatures in the empty space. Then, the soldiers of the first and second lines of defense will withdraw back to the city first and follow the process established by His Majesty to enter each city district and redeploy defenses."

"The soldiers on the third line of defense will be the rear guard. After making sure that the Abyss Army has slowed down their pursuit, I will lead them to evacuate."

"As ordered."

Everyone responded in unison and left the general's tent quickly without any delay.

Several soldiers from the Fire Phoenix Soul Mentor Corps also quickly helped dismantle the commander's tent.

The order spread like the wind across the three defense lines. Upon hearing it, more than 200,000 soldiers and soul masters felt as if a shot of adrenaline was injected into their tired bodies, and their eyes became more lively.

If it weren't for the orders from their superiors to conserve their soul power and prepare for retreat, they would probably have wanted to use up all their soul power.

In the sky, as many as eighteen ninth-level soul masters from the Sun-Moon Empire's Worship Hall and Mingde Hall's ninth-level soul masters naturally heard the order. Their offensive suddenly intensified, forcing the emperor-level abyss creatures in the abyss army to temporarily avoid the attack.

The time it takes for an emperor-level abyss creature to revive after death is not short. Moreover, the birth of wisdom makes them afraid of death, which is different from those low-level abyss creatures that only have the instinct to charge.

shhhhhh!
Suddenly, a strong light tore through the darkness, rising from the Sun and Moon Army's defense line like the sun, and fell towards the direction of the hole. Under the light, the densely packed figures of more than hundreds of thousands of abyss creatures on the plain were reflected.

Boom... In the end, three level eight fixed-type soul guide shells, each several hundred meters apart, exploded in front of the hole without any error.

For a moment, the raging terrifying waves spread out on the spot, and countless abyss creatures that were running fast were directly blown into pieces.

"withdraw!"

As 90% of the abyss creatures in the plain outside Mingdu were wiped out, the soul guides and soldiers who had already prepared for evacuation quickly left the defense line with their soul guide accessories.

Because it was a planned evacuation, there was no chaos.

As if they knew that humans had begun to use weapons with the highest lethality, the emperor-level abyss creatures also retreated to safe zones and no longer entangled with the ninth-level soul masters.

Maybe it was because they were afraid, but what Orange and other Sun and Moon high-level officials didn't expect was that ten minutes had passed after the residual power of the three level eight fixed-type artillery shells ended, and no abyss creatures had escaped from the cavity. The 10% of the abyss creatures that were still alive were also killed by the soldiers of the third line of defense at the rear.

This made many high-ranking officials' eyes light up, and Orange immediately gave orders, for the soldiers on the third line of defense at the rear to evacuate quickly.

However, saving a level nine fixed-type soul guide cannon was originally a happy thing, but when retreating, after glancing at the void, the expression on Orange's face became solemn.

As soon as they withdrew from the defense line, the abyss creatures stopped attacking. Could there be a trick?
"After the battle, my lady, let's withdraw too."

But there was no time for Juzi to think any more. She was protected by several soul masters above level seven and also retreated to Mingdu City.

The moment they flew into the city, an inexplicable feeling emerged in Orange's eyes.

Looking down from her vantage point, she could see that the buildings that were once brightly lit had lost their vitality, standing like tombstones. The streets that were once bustling with traffic were no longer crowded with civilians, and only the orderly footsteps of the evacuating soldiers could be heard.

The soul guide lights on the roadside are like hunchbacked old men, no longer having any vitality.

It seemed as if overnight, the edge of the city became a dead city.

There was a brief silence, and then everyone flew away.

In the sky, the eighteen ninth-level soul masters finally left, each performing their respective duties and heading to the urban areas where they were stationed.

...

"Finally they have withdrawn." In the Abyssal Plane, the Wise Emperor looked at the light curtain, breathed a sigh of relief, and issued an order: "After three hours, act according to the previously formulated plan. Don't let me wipe out these natives of Douluo Star in one go. The most important thing is to restrain your Abyssal Warriors. After killing someone, don't think about devouring them. Lord Saint has other great uses."

"As ordered."

Abyss emperors from different levels responded respectfully.

The Wise Emperor looked back at the light curtain, looking at the extremely dark city of Mingdu. A smile appeared on his lips. "The longer the fear lasts, the more miserable the death, the heavier the resentment in the heart, the more energy is provided, the wider the range of the Blood River God Killing Array, and the more souls and blood it can absorb."

"The more Ye Xishui improves, the more benefits Lord Saint will gain from taking over her body. By then, the suppression of the Douluo plane on my Abyss plane will decline to the extreme. That's when the gluttonous feast will begin."

"Jie Jie Jie."

...

In Mingdu, one of the old city districts, Nana looked solemnly at the temporary defense line made of steel and buildings, into which soldiers and soul mentors of the Sun-Moon Empire were pouring in continuously.

There were lights nearby, but they were consumable bulbs that only lasted an hour or so before needing to be scrapped and replaced.

The light dispels the darkness and is the only thing that can calm people down, as there are still several hours before dawn.

"The army has withdrawn. It seems that the front line has collapsed."

Next to Nana, there were members of the Sun God Cult, a core member of the Mingdu branch, who couldn't help but speak out.

Nana didn't say anything, but looked on with a frown. Like her, the other people in the old town who were also watching the scene.

They heard the noise coming from outside Mingdu, but since the higher-ups did not lift the ban, didn't that mean that the invading enemy had not been repelled?
Almost all the people's faces were filled with worry and depression.

Everyone knows that Ming had no city walls, and everyone knows that the fortifications in front of them were built temporarily and had limited defensive capabilities. If the enemy attacks, how long can they hold out?

To this day, rumors are everywhere in the old city that these monsters that do not belong to Douluo Continent will kill anyone they see and will never leave a single person alive. No one doubts the truth of this statement.

Otherwise, Your Majesty would not have ordered the relocation of people from the outskirts of the city to the interior of the city.

In fact, to this day, there are still countless people who don’t know what the invading enemy looks like.

"Listen, residents of the old city. Mingdu's defense line has been shrunk, mainly in the urban areas. Therefore, we need the soul masters above the second ring or the second-level soul masters in the old city to stand up and join the army to resist the attack of the abyss army that will be faced at any time."

"I know you are afraid, but trust the Empire. As long as you hold on for one more day, reinforcements will arrive near Mingdu."

Just as the people were talking about it, several soul guides driving flying soul guides flew through the air and circled the old city, and the loudspeaker soul guides on them continued to broadcast the news.

This scene attracted a lot of people's attention.

"With Mingdu's current military strength, it is impossible to defend all urban areas. In other words, there will definitely be gains and losses. The soul masters in the old city will definitely not be enough." Nana said in a deep voice as she watched several people flying away in the air.

"Sister Na, what should we do?" Several colleagues around her couldn't help asking. "The old city is destroyed. We may be able to escape, but the people in the old city can't. We should stay and join the army first. If we can't withstand the invasion of the abyss creatures later, we will withdraw." Nana said in a serious tone.

Everyone looked at each other, but ultimately did not refuse. Soon, led by Nana's identity as a missionary of the Sun God Cult, a group of people went over their heads and found the head of the army in the old city, an eighth-level soul mentor in the military.

After confirming that Nana's cultivation level was that of a Soul Saint, the person in charge was quite surprised and then gave her an important task.

A special area was allocated for her to be in charge, and even fifty third-level soul mentors were generously assigned to her for her to manage.

But obviously, the troops were not enough, so Nana took everyone away and went to the neighborhood in the old city where the Sun God cult had the highest degree of belief, to recruit people.

Maybe it was the sun god, or maybe it was to protect their homeland. In any case, Nana's voice was even louder than that of the military, and tens of thousands of people were willing to join. However, in the end, Nana selected more than 3,000 people, leaving 5,000 young and middle-aged people as reserves.

Of course, Nana also spread the news of the coming abyss, so that many civilians could face the reality and take up arms. Once the fortifications were breached, they would have no choice but to rely on themselves.

Some soul guide shops also took out their own stored soul guide ray guns. This thing can be used by one or two-ring soul masters. Due to its low consumption, its power is still inferior to that of normal soul guide ray devices.

But there is no way, this is the best the people in the old city can offer.

What's more troublesome is that the defense capability of the area where Nana is stationed is really worrying. If it weren't for knocking down some ruins of high-rise buildings as a "low-profile version of the city wall", otherwise it would really be impossible to rely on this broken thing called barbed wire to resist.

The key point is that barbed wire is okay for blocking ordinary people, but it is a joke to block the ferocious creatures of the abyss.

Similar situations are common in the poorer urban areas of Mingdu.

What Nana and the others didn't know was that Xu Tianming had already discussed with the nobles and civil and military officials and decided that, if necessary, they could abandon the millions of poor people and civilians in the old city areas and save the other millions of civilians living in the prosperous city areas.

The night breeze was blowing. After arranging the three thousand first and second ring soul masters and fifty third level military soul instructors in place, Nana thought about contacting Huo Yuhao. Unfortunately, the latter was in seclusion and did not reply.

Under the dim lights in the old city, people were in a tense mood. Far outside Mingdu, in the huge cave, countless strange-shaped figures walked out.

The weakest ones are only human great soul masters, while the strong ones are at the Titled Douluo level.

The Abyss Emperor still did not take action. They followed the orders of the Wisdom Emperor and could not destroy Mingdu in one go.

There are more than two hundred species of abyss creatures in the abyss, and now more than one hundred and fifty species have appeared one after another.

The vast majority of abyss creatures were simulated and manufactured from the indigenous races of some weak planes when the Abyss Saint King destroyed these planes.

This is why there are human-shaped ones, beast-shaped ones, and other special types.

"Do it!"

The low voice of the Emperor of Wisdom came from the abyss.

In an instant, the abyss army, which had been standing in unison, rushed forward madly.

The sky was filled with darkness.

When stepping into the outskirts of Mingdu, which had long been empty, looking down from the sky, the spacious streets seemed as if a flood had squeezed in and was advancing madly on the winding roads.

But what was clever was that the abyss army actually split between the old city and the new city. The powerful abyss creatures, led by the six black emperors, rushed towards the new city, especially where the royal family was located.

The weak abyss creatures, on the contrary, flocked to the old town.

With the help of high-altitude soul guide detectors, the new city area, especially the main city area where the major nobles are located, has already discovered the movements of the abyss army.

The shrill alarm sounded throughout the night. On the makeshift steel defense line, countless soul masters and soul guides, as well as various soul guides with astonishing lethality, were already prepared.

After a few hours of rest, the exhausted people finally recovered a little.

As for the people in the old city, the shrill alarms and the lack of intelligence from the front line made countless people breathe less.

The ground began to shake slightly.

Outside the fortifications, within the dark urban buildings, there seemed to be sounds coming from weak to heavy, from far to near.

"coming!"

Suddenly, in the old city, in the makeshift and shabby fortifications, tens of thousands of soldiers and a thousand soul masters looked with shrinking pupils at the abyss creatures that were passing through the buildings in agile numbers like a tide.

quack quack.

And in the sky, there were also various flying abyss creatures, diving towards the ground.

Upon seeing this, the soul masters on the scene quickly raised their soul beam devices and prepared to attack.

call out!
Suddenly, a strong light pierced through the darkness and swept across the air. It was actually an extremely strong beam of soul light. Hundreds of flying creatures in the sky were wiped out in an instant.

"Close the distance and launch the attack." The Imperial Patronus, Mingguang Douluo, was suspended in the air, and spoke in a deep voice to the eighth-level soul instructor who was in charge below.

"Yes, sir." The eighth-level soul engineer responded quickly. He was the person in charge, but not the strongest fighter in this old city area.

Although the royal family and the nobles had the idea of ​​abandoning the old city areas, they also squeezed out resources and arranged for a ninth-level soul mentor to be in charge of several old city areas.

"Roar."

Dense swarms of abyss monsters poured out of the building and ran madly towards the fortifications.

"shooting!"

Shhhhhh.

After the soul power was charged, countless rays of light lit up on the fortifications that stretched out, followed by groups of soul light rays shooting out together.

The extremely strong penetrating power and temperature instantly pierced through the abyss monsters.

There were four-clawed bats, jumping insects, hydralisks, suicide monsters... Some buildings were also bombarded, and rubble was splashing.

In the same old city, on the other side, Nana and the others, who had already been startled by the piercing alarm that resounded throughout the city, quickly patted their faces to wake themselves up.

"Everyone, get ready. A fight has already broken out at the main entrance to the old city. It is very likely that some of the abyss creatures will run over to our side."

Nana flew into the air and shouted using the soul amplifier.

Perhaps it was because the missionary work was deeply rooted in people's hearts that Nana's words were listened to by everyone.

Soon, thousands of people were on full alert, looking in the direction where the enemy might be coming, even though the fortifications in front of them were extremely simple.

One by one, the soul ray guns were slowly injected with soul power.

There are also soul guide cannons prepared by fifty military soul masters ready to be used.

Those who did not have soul ray guns held metal melee weapons, ready to engage in hand-to-hand combat with the abyss creatures.

Nana was suspended in the air, looking solemnly at the only road leading to her area. More than a hundred triggered soul guide bombs had been deployed on the ground.

The level is not high, but it is enough to clear a wave of enemies.

"Shh."

Suddenly, in the dim light, an afterimage that looked like an insect rushed over from a distance, followed by more and more figures. The clattering sound of their running feet touching the ground was like drumbeats, stimulating everyone's heart.

Finally, countless brown-red monsters with disgusting bodies covered with sickle-like claws ran into the wide road. They pounced forward frantically like hyenas smelling meat.

Boom... When the first jumping insect touched the triggered soul guide bomb buried in the ground, violent explosions rang out one after another.

The soul power shock wave that splashed out instantly tore apart the abyss creatures that rushed to the front, and the soul power light that lit up also made the people in the fortifications launch their first attack. (End of this chapter)
