Douluo Jueshi: Picking up Firefly at the Beginning

The moment the white beam appeared, it was as if the entire world had been paused; time stood still, and space itself was distorted and deformed in the face of this terrifying power.

Where the light swept across, space was easily torn apart like fragile glass, with countless pitch-black cracks crisscrossing the entire sky, as if the world's wounds were bleeding endless black blood.

The white light was moving at an extreme speed, so fast that no one could keep up with its trajectory.

At this moment, the Star Luo Empire's Soul Master Legion was taking advantage of the Sun Moon Empire's weakened defenses and was advancing rapidly, attempting to break through the defenses in one fell swoop.

And this deadly white light swept right through their densely packed ranks without any deviation.

A flash of white light appeared, as if time had started flowing again, but everything that had just happened felt as real as a nightmare.

The place, which was once vibrant and full of Soul Masters, is now completely blank, as if it has been wiped out by an invisible hand.

Those Soul Saints who had just released their Martial Souls and Soul Rings, full of ambition and ready to unleash powerful Soul Skills, vanished without a trace the moment the white light swept across them, as if they had never existed in this world.

In the blink of an eye, more than two hundred powerful Soul Saints perished in this sudden disaster, without even causing a ripple.

The entire battlefield fell into a deathly silence, a deathly stillness enveloping everyone.

Whether they were soldiers of the Sun Moon Empire or soldiers of the Star Luo Empire, they all stood frozen in place as if under a spell, their eyes fixed on the sky, watching the fleeting yet unforgettable white light and the shocking spatial rifts it left behind.

An intense, almost suffocating sense of fear spread rapidly like a plague, engulfing everyone present. Even the seasoned Soul Masters of the Sun Moon Empire couldn't help but show fear on their faces and tremble slightly.

Seeing this, Meteor's lips twitched slightly. The power contained in that white light had reached the attack level of a demigod.

Even with his considerable strength, he would be utterly powerless to withstand such a terrifying attack if he didn't unleash his trump card.

If caught off guard, one could very well suffer severe injuries or even die on the spot from this attack.

He naturally knew the source of this terrifying power—it was a strike from the Death God Tower, a level ten soul tool personally crafted by Death God Douluo Ye Xishui.

Using such powerful weapons to deal with these Soul Saints of the Star Luo Empire is undoubtedly using a sledgehammer to crack a nut, or a cannon to kill a mosquito.

But this is precisely the source of Ju Zi's confidence in boldly leading the Sun Moon Empire's army away to fight elsewhere; it is her carefully planned and confident ultimate trump card.

After the white light disappeared, the Sun Moon Empire was the first to recover from its brief shock. The soul-guided rays and soul-guided cannons, which had been gradually dimming due to the consumption of soul power, suddenly erupted like a long-accumulated volcano, bursting out wildly with overwhelming force.

The firepower was even more ferocious than before, pouring down like a storm onto the Star Luo Empire's high-level Soul Masters who were completely stunned.

In an instant, the once orderly and disciplined Soul Master army of the Star Luo Empire crumbled. Under this overwhelming and fierce attack, they were powerless to resist, scattered and routed. The Soul Masters panicked and fled back in the direction they had come from, creating a scene of utter chaos.

After a long while, his eyes were vacant, as if he had lost his soul. His body was limp and weak, his legs were weak, and he staggered backward, almost falling to the ground.

Xu Jiujiu had already advanced to the Soul Saint level by this time, but she still had great difficulty standing up, which showed how great the impact that scene had on her heart was.

"Aunt!" Upon seeing this, Xu Yun was extremely anxious and rushed forward to steadily support Xu Jiujiu, her face full of worry.

Not only Xu Jiujiu, but all the high-ranking military officers of the Star Luo Empire present were completely bewildered and stunned.

It must be understood that the hundreds of Soul Masters who just passed away were all extraordinary Soul Saints! They were the backbone of the Star Luo Empire's Soul Master class and the core pillar of the empire's military power.

However, in that brief moment, these precious powers vanished without a trace. How could they not feel heartbroken and find it hard to accept such a heavy blow?

"We've been tricked again!" Xuanji Douluo seemed to have aged several years in an instant, looking exhausted and with endless despair in his eyes.

He knew perfectly well that after this battle, the overall situation was settled. It was nothing but a pipe dream for the Star Luo Empire to try to cross the Sun Moon Empire's defenses; there was no possibility of it ever happening again.

The terrifying white beam of light he just witnessed made him, as if facing the threat of death, and a deep chill ran through his heart the moment he felt its power.

Let alone those Soul Saints, even if he were in the same spot in the sky just now, he probably wouldn't be able to escape unscathed and would most likely suffer severe injuries.

Based on his years of experience and keen intuition, Xuanji Douluo deduced from the terrifying power of the white pillar of light that the person guarding the Mingdou Mountain Range was Ye Xishui, the Limit Douluo of the Holy Spirit Cult, who was famous in the God-Slaying War. She possessed a peerless weapon such as a level 10 soul tool and had terrifying combat power at the demigod level.

With such a powerful figure guarding this place, even though the Star Luo Empire has a certain advantage in military strength, it is completely helpless at this moment.

Moreover, they had to be constantly on guard against the next attack that Death God Douluo might launch at any time. After all, the Star Luo Empire had lost more than two hundred Soul Saint level experts in just that one attack.

These Soul Saints were not ordinary figures; they were the treasures of the empire, elites cultivated and honed over countless years. Yet, in the blink of an eye, they vanished without a trace.

Putting aside the enormous loss of personnel, in terms of morale alone, the Star Luo Empire has now fallen to rock bottom.

The soldiers were demoralized and filled with anxiety, making it virtually impossible for them to organize an effective attack.

As long as the level 10 Soul Tool Death Tower remains in the Mingdou Mountains, and as long as Death God Douluo Ye Xishui has not left, the Star Luo Empire will not dare to cross the line. This is the deterrent power of a top expert. Ye Xishui may not be able to kill hundreds of thousands of troops, but he can definitely stop the Star Luo Empire's Soul Master Legion.

Without a legion of Soul Masters, even ordinary troops cannot cross the Sun Moon Empire's Soul Guidance Defense Line. (End of Chapter)
