Douluo Jueshi: Picking up Firefly at the Beginning

The Sun Moon Empire showed signs of fatigue, and the Star Luo Empire keenly sensed this change. They seized the opportunity, reacted quickly, and began to advance step by step, constantly increasing the pressure on the Sun Moon Empire's defenses.

Each step forward felt like tightening a rope around the opponent's defenses, trying to suffocate them.

After unleashing another wave of fierce firepower and temporarily repelling the Star Luo Empire's Soul Master Legion, the Sun Moon Empire's defenses were completely exhausted.

The frequency of soul-guided device firing has dropped significantly, and the firepower intensity is also much weaker than before. The once impregnable defense line now seems to have cracks appearing.

Meteor, gazing at this scene from afar, remained calm and composed, showing no intention whatsoever of going down to join the battle and help.

Because he was well aware of Orange's strategic plan, Orange dared to boldly take away most of its military force, so it must have a backup plan. In his view, the current situation was just a stage in the game, and everything was under Orange's control.

At this moment on the battlefield, the situation seemed extremely favorable to the Star Luo Empire, and it appeared that they had already gained the upper hand.

If thousands of Soul Masters and hundreds of thousands of troops charged forward in one fell swoop, it seemed that they could easily break through the seemingly crumbling defenses of the Sun Moon Empire.

After all, in the course of a long battle, the advantage of terrain had become negligible for the Soul Masters. What had been hindering their progress was the relentless bombardment of those powerful Soul Tools.

Now that the soul tool formation is exhausted, this is undoubtedly an excellent opportunity for the Star Luo Empire to launch an attack.

Looking at the Star Luo Empire's army, whose morale was once again high and which was advancing like a tidal wave, a faint trace of pity flashed in Meteor's eyes.

In particular, those Soul Saint level experts who charged to the front lines were seen by him as lambs to the slaughter, destined to become victims of this war.

Not only Liuxing, but also Liuying and Meng Hongchen, were aware of the secrets hidden within the Mingdou Mountain Range defense line, and similar expressions appeared on their faces at this moment.

As the Star Luo Empire's army and Soul Master legion approached step by step, the Star Luo Empire's Soul Guidance Devices were finally able to cover the Sun Moon Empire's lines.

Upon seeing this scene, Xu Jiujiu's face immediately lit up with extreme excitement. She seemed to have already seen the dawn of victory and the hope that the Star Luo Empire could wipe away its shame.

Not only Xu Jiujiu, but also a group of high-ranking generals of the Star Luo Empire were excited and eager to fight.

They also eagerly anticipated leading their troops to storm the Sun Moon Empire's headquarters and wash away all the humiliation they had suffered.

However, amidst this atmosphere of high morale and fervent enthusiasm, Huo Yuhao frowned, a strong sense of foreboding rising in his heart.

He subconsciously looked up at the distant horizon, where the soul-guided mechs led by Meteor were hovering silently in the sky, without making any moves, still meticulously guarding the high-altitude detection soul-guided device. This scene made Huo Yuhao's unease even stronger.

He knew Meteor well, after all, he had suffered greatly at Meteor's hands many times, and even his own hated father, Duke Dai Hao of the White Tiger, had died at Meteor's hands.

Based on these past experiences, he instinctively didn't believe that Meteor would stand idly by and watch the Sun Moon Empire's defenses be easily breached. However, he was, after all, just an "outsider" who had recently joined the Star Luo Empire's army, and there was currently no conclusive evidence to prove that the situation was amiss.

Even if he were to voice his concerns now, it would likely be difficult for others to take them seriously, and he might even be seen as worrying unnecessarily, becoming a laughingstock.

With a command from Xu Jiujiu, the Soul Masters of the Star Luo Empire seemed to receive a battle horn, unleashing their full power and releasing their respective Soul Rings.

In an instant, the entire battlefield seemed to be illuminated by dazzling neon lights, with various colored soul rings reflecting each other, making the battlefield under the night sky look like a dream, yet also exuding a chilling aura.

Above the sky, hundreds of Soul Saints released their Soul Rings in unison. The dazzling halos shimmered and danced in the night sky, standing out conspicuously, as if announcing to the Sun Moon Empire their impending thunderous general offensive.

Witnessing the Star Luo Empire's Soul Masters releasing Soul Rings on such a large scale, the soldiers of the Sun Moon Empire knew that a life-or-death battle had begun and the Star Luo Empire's all-out offensive was imminent.

"Could I have guessed wrong? Could it be that the Sun Moon Empire has really run out of resources and has no strength left to resist?" Huo Yuhao looked at the soul rings that filled the sky like stars, and the Sun Moon Empire's defensive line that remained motionless and seemingly without any intention of resistance. Doubts welled up in his heart.

With this doubt in mind, he quietly released his powerful mental energy, attempting to penetrate the fog of the battlefield and uncover the hidden truth within.

However, just as his mental energy touched the Mingdou Mountains, Huo Yuhao suddenly groaned, as if he had been hit by a heavy hammer.

Blood gushed uncontrollably from his mouth and nose, his vision blurred, his head spun, and he nearly fainted.

Fortunately, at the critical moment, Tianmeng Ice Silkworm sensed Huo Yuhao's danger and quickly transferred its own spiritual power to him to replenish his strength, which prevented him from falling into a coma immediately.

"What is that?" Huo Yuhao endured his physical discomfort and struggled to lift his head, his eyes filled with undisguised horror and his face etched with deep fear.

It turned out that, in that brief moment, his mental energy had detected a terrifying aura that sent chills down his spine.

That aura seemed to come from the depths of hell, carrying a strong, pungent stench of blood and evil, surging wildly into his spiritual sea like a raging tide through his spiritual channels.

If Huo Yuhao hadn't possessed extremely strong mental power, and if the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm hadn't been constantly protecting his mental world, he probably would have lost consciousness instantly under the impact of this evil force, becoming a walking corpse.

Just as everyone was still lost in their own thoughts, a white beam of light, exuding an extremely evil and cold aura, shot out without warning from a peak in the Mingdou Mountains.

The white beam of light was ashen, exuding a chilling stillness. As soon as it appeared, it instantly expanded into a massive beam of light a thousand meters high, like a giant axe that cleaved the heavens, cleaving straight down onto the battlefield.

A pale light illuminated the sky, replacing the light from the spirit rings that had previously covered it, and even overshadowing the silver moonlight on the horizon. (End of Chapter)
