Douluo Jueshi, world modulation mode

Chapter 488 Demigod Moon
Seeing that the intermediate-level fixed-position soul-guided cannonballs had no effect on them, the hearts of many Title Douluos sank: their terrifying defensive power was probably comparable to that of a 100,000-year-old soul beast that was good at defense.

Behind those abyssal mammoths that withstood the cannonballs, a chilling scene unfolded: countless abyssal creatures surged forth like a tidal wave. Some were ferocious tigers wreathed in eerie ghostly flames, each stomp sending up bursts of dark fire; others were countless slender black snakes, their bodies undulating and forming a black wave that obscured the view; and still others were humanoid monsters several feet tall, their bodies covered in thick, rock-like black keratin, their joints gleaming with a cold, metallic light as they moved…

"All high-level fixed-position soul-guided shells! Long-range soul-guided weapons! Intercept them with all your might—we absolutely cannot let them break through the defensive line!" Kong Deming's roar pierced through the clamor of the battlefield.

The north is the far north, where temperatures are extremely low. If these abyssal creatures were to break through their defenses and infiltrate human society, it would be a disaster.

"Stars, fall!"

Ye Yulin stood in the void and gave a command, causing the dark sky to suddenly lose its color. The once silent stars now burst forth with dazzling brilliance, especially the silver moon, which seemed to break free from the celestial constraints and hang above the human world, its cool moonlight pouring down and intertwining with the starlight to form a dazzling curtain of light.

The next second, terrifying energy fluctuations spread out from the star cluster, and thousands of starlight instantly condensed into beams of soul-guided light several meters thick. Like a divine spear of judgment, it carried a world-destroying power and pierced straight through the charging formation of the abyss army. Wherever the light reached, only shattered roars and dissipating shadows remained.

The level 10 soul tool unleashed its full power, unleashing terrifying energy that directly interrupted the Abyssal Mammoths' charge. More than a dozen Abyssal Mammoths, comparable to 100,000-year-old soul beasts, died on the spot, plunging the charging Abyssal creatures into chaos.

However, this terrifying attack completely drained all the energy previously stored in this level 10 soul tool, and even Ye Yulin's own soul power was mostly drained.

Suddenly, the night sky was torn apart by a beam of emerald green light, which carried a chilling, poisonous light and headed straight for Ye Yulin, who had just been displaying great power on the battlefield.

"!" Mu En, who had the highest cultivation level, reacted immediately and instinctively went to provide support.

However, at that moment, "Ah—" came from the rear of the abyssal creature army. An extremely sharp scream instantly swept across the entire battlefield. Even the sound of the explosion of the fixed soul-guided cannon was covered by this scream. For a moment, Mu En felt his mind go blank. When he came to his senses, he was shocked.

You have to understand that even he, a powerhouse at the Limit Douluo level, was controlled by that mental sonic wave for a moment. What about the others on the battlefield? Ye Yulin, who was just sniped!

"Qiang!"

A soaring phoenix cry suddenly resounded throughout the heavens and earth, and golden-red flames exploded in front of Ye Yulin, from which a lifelike fire phoenix took flight. Accompanied by a crisp and sharp sword cry, the fire phoenix's wings, like two burning swords, slashed fiercely down at the emerald green pillar of light!
A scorching shockwave spread outwards, sending rubble flying several feet. When the light faded, Luanfeng Douluo, clad in dazzling golden armor, had returned to her peak youthful appearance, tightly gripping the level-ten soul tool "Fire Phoenix Sword" in her hand. She staggered back two steps, clearly indicating that taking this attack head-on was no easy feat for her.

"Spiritual power of the Spirit Realm," Luan Feng said with a grim expression. Fortunately, she had a level nine triggered spiritual defense soul tool, which prevented her from being affected by the sonic attacks just now. She gazed at the distant abyss army, her eyes locking onto one of the largest creatures among them.

The creature was over fifty meters long, resembling a giant lizard, but its head was unusually large, accounting for almost a third of its body. Its protruding compound eyes, composed of countless tiny eyeballs, gleamed with a cold, ferocious light, and its entire body was covered in layers of gray scales that shimmered with a metallic sheen in the light.

"Abyssal Demon Dragon." Kong Deming's heart sank.

According to the information His Majesty the Emperor gave them, this guy is a member of the Abyss Emperor Spirit Emperor of the second layer of the Abyss. He not only possesses the spiritual power of the Spirit Realm, but is also very good at stealth and is the commander of the Abyss creatures.

"And it's at least a mid-level or even high-level Spirit Domain Realm." Mu En said in a deep voice. With such a large area, this Abyss Demon Dragon is probably an elite in its own clan, comparable to a half-step limit Spirit-type Soul Master.

Seeing that its mental attack had failed to kill the high-level human expert, the Abyss Dragon's eyes suddenly erupted with blinding blue flames. A strange blue light wave spread outwards from it, and its massive body vanished in the light, completely merging into the Abyss Legion behind it. The Abyss army, which had been thrown into chaos by Ye Yulin's area-of-effect attack and the indiscriminate sonic assault, now displayed a chillingly orderly discipline.

Conversely, the human camp was thrown into chaos by this sudden mental shock. High-level Soul Masters, with their formidable mental fortitude, could barely hold on—after all, the core purpose of the explosion was control, not attack—but mid-level Soul Masters were severely injured. Many suffered mental damage, collapsing to the ground, unable even to stand. Fortunately, the current army had already eliminated low-level Soul Masters and ordinary people; otherwise, even if they survived the mental storm, they would have had their minds completely destroyed, turning them into idiots.

"Healing Angel, True Spirit Form!" In the critical moment, the voice of the Healing Immortal Douluo resounded across the battlefield like thunder. The next second, her body shone brightly, and a holy phantom hundreds of meters tall rose from the ground—it was the Healing Angel with five pairs of emerald green wings. With each flap of her wings, countless emerald green light points rained down like starlight. The soul masters, whose minds were disturbed by the mental shock, felt their souls sting slightly when they touched this warm light, and their chaotic formation finally showed signs of stabilizing.

"Elder Mu," Ye Yulin said, taking out his level-nine mental defense soul tool and giving it to Mu En. "We must kill this beast first. Its existence is even more threatening than the Abyss Lord that His Majesty killed last time, which was comparable to the limit."

This is a war, and the commander is the core of the army. Moreover, the abyssal dragon's spiritual power is superior to all of theirs. If it were to suddenly attack while they were fighting a powerful abyssal creature, they would risk their lives.

The mental system is still too sinister.

"Hmm." Moon surveyed the army of abyssal creatures with a serious expression. Moon was no longer the crippled figure he had been before. After An Zhen's breakthrough and return, he manifested the Goddess of Life state, restoring his teacher's physical condition and giving him a spiritual cleansing.

Compared to his current lifespan, Mu En's physical condition is now in his prime. After An Zhen helped Mu Elder refine the Light Dragon Pearl that had granted him his wish but also left him with a century-long disability, he has entered the realm of demigods. As long as he is not seriously injured, this prime of life can continue for several hundred years.

As they spoke, the abyssal creatures, organized by the abyssal dragon, launched another attack.

"Nine Treasures Transform into Glazed Glass!" Several towering Nine Treasures Glazed Glass Pagodas, each tens of meters tall, appeared in the rear of the battlefield. Support is an indispensable role on the battlefield, and naturally, the recognized number one support-type weapon spirit on the continent cannot be missing. Ning Yunzhi holds an important position and is responsible for managing the various financial expenditures of the empire. He is in Mingdu and cannot leave, but he has obtained quite a few Qiluo Tulips from Anzhen in the past.

Originally, a considerable amount was reserved for future generations, since the sect's records did not specify whether the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, a special martial soul, could be inherited through bloodline. However, with the arrival of the Abyss Plane and An Zhen's direct opening of the Immortal Herb Exchange Program, Ning Yunzhi generously took out some herbs to cultivate core disciples. This was both to provide assistance in the war and to expand the influence of the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Sect. Although the sect had Title Douluo, the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Sect naturally prioritized the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda.

The support-type Soul Masters on the battlefield weren't just from the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School. A rainbow dragon spirit, tens of meters tall, manifested—it was Gongyang Mo, the previous generation of Shrek Seven Devils. Why the previous generation? Because the current Shrek Seven Devils are still the generation of An Zhen, or rather, this is the last generation of Shrek Seven Devils. Normally, the Shrek Seven Devils' reserve team is selected before the Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Tournament, and after it concludes, they become the official team. However, due to various reasons, the Tournament was not held at the time, and later Shrek Academy merged with the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy to become the Empire's First University.

Furthermore, it was common knowledge throughout the continent that Tang San, the Sea God among the original Shrek Seven Devils, was branded an evil god, and the rest of the Shrek Seven Devils were either killed or captured when they descended to the mortal realm. In addition, the Sea God Pavilion was disbanded and became part of the Ministry of Education. For various reasons, the election of a new Shrek Seven Devils was abandoned. Instead, the Imperial Genius Ranking was established, which included genius Soul Masters aged twenty and under with cultivation levels not exceeding Soul Saint, and genius Soul Masters whose Soul Master level did not exceed level seven. The specific rankings were determined through battles, and those who made the list received preferential treatment in terms of imperial resources.

They might even have the opportunity to become His Majesty the Emperor's student.

This was a message released by An Zhen to encourage young Soul Masters of the Empire to cultivate diligently; if there were truly outstanding children, they could be taken in as students. However, due to strong opposition from a certain Ye who wished to remain anonymous—who wanted to ensure the uniqueness of his identity—it was changed to having the Empire's Super/Limit Douluo and Level 9/10 Soul Masters take a look at any promising talents they encountered.

"Let's launch a bombardment first to disrupt their formation!"

As Kong Deming finished speaking, five level-nine, twelve level-eight, and thirty level-seven fixed-position soul-guided cannonballs were fired directly into the army of abyssal creatures.

"Rumble--"

Deafening explosions tore through the sky, and scorching shockwaves carrying debris and dust churned across the battlefield. Even with a powerful Abyssal Dragon as its commander, the Abyssal creatures' charge was inevitably disrupted by the intense bombardment. Thanks to the powerful area-of-effect damage of the soul-guided cannons, nearly ten more Abyssal mammoths perished, bringing the casualties of the charging Abyssal creatures to a terrifying third of their total. Yet, more Abyssal creatures continued to pour out, and to the regret of many powerful figures, they lacked a strong mental-type soul master to pinpoint the Abyssal Dragon's location. This barrage of bombardments failed to force the dragon to reveal itself.

That being the case...

"charge!"

What followed was a tense and exciting hand-to-hand combat.

A series of unique and dazzling lights bloomed as the first wave of support-type soul master troops from Dragon City and the support-type soul masters in the front-line trenches jointly released their soul skills. With numerous support soul skills, the aura of the level 98 Super Douluo was approaching that of the Limit Douluo. With the advanced soul weapon, his aura directly stepped into the Limit Douluo realm.

The production of ultimate soul weapons is extremely limited, or rather, the production of all soul weapons is limited, given the current enormous demand. Without An Zhen personally overseeing production, only Limit Douluo and some Super Douluo are qualified to equip ultimate/advanced soul weapons.

"Catch the thief first and capture the king first!"

The true form of Wuhun!

A thousand-meter-long Holy Dragon of Light manifested on the battlefield, its dazzling light like a great sun, sweeping outwards in all directions with its radiant brilliance. With its ultimate soul weapon and numerous auxiliary soul skills, its terrifying dragon might surged, breaking through the threshold of pseudo-god in the blink of an eye. Furthermore, as it released its amplifying soul skills, its aura continued to rise.

"Roar--"

A resounding dragon roar pierced the sky.

Mu En felt as if he had become that vibrant young man again, his boiling blood constantly stimulating his emotions. The terrifying and enormous Holy Dragon of Light took the lead, and with many mentally wounded and weakened intermediate Soul Masters being carried to the rear to recuperate, and with the Soul Guiding Light no longer suppressing the abyssal creatures, it charged directly into the army of abyssal creatures.

"Fight!" Yu Yunzhen, who had just lost his son, could no longer suppress his anger. He transformed into a blue lightning tyrannosaurus and charged forward with rolling thunder, following Mu En, who had transformed into a holy dragon of light.

Tens of meters, hundreds of meters, numerous martial spirit true forms of various shapes charged towards the army of abyssal creatures along with the thousand-meter-long Holy Light Dragon.

At long range, the Abyss Dragon could conceal its form by the different auras of the various abyssal creatures and its own powerful mental strength. However, at close range, it could not hide its enormous size from Moon's nose, whose aura had reached the level of a pseudo-god.

"Got you!"

"Dragon Emperor Suppresses the Domain!"

Without saying a word, he unleashed his ultimate move.

A massive and powerful soul force moved towards the head of the Holy Light Dragon. Light flowed across its white-gold scales, and its two claws tore apart the abyssal creatures that tried to approach it. After a brief charge, a dazzling golden beam of light burst forth from the dragon's mouth, piercing through the army of abyssal creatures.

the other side.

high in the air.

"Anzhen, aren't we going down to help Great-Grandpa and the others?"
