Wuhun element periodic table, rubbing black hole in Douluo

Chapter 447 Raid
Even with Xue Di's extensive knowledge, she couldn't help but be secretly alarmed by the power of this weapon. Once detonated on the battlefield, a strategic weapon of this caliber would be devastating enough to instantly alter the course of a large-scale battle.

Xue Di extended her slender, jade-like fingers, wisps of extreme cold swirling around her fingertips, and gently brushed them across the icy outer shell of the level-nine fixed-position soul-guided cannonball, as if sensing something. After a moment, her fingertips stopped at a certain spot on the cannonball's surface and began to meticulously trace its lines.

Complex ice crystal patterns quickly took shape under her fingers, imprinting themselves on the metal shell of the shell, shimmering with a faint, eerie blue light that contrasted with the shell's dark gold patterns, yet seemed out of place.

Having done all this, Xue Di finally nodded in satisfaction. Her clear, cold voice echoed in the empty room, yet remained completely calm: "Very good, take them all."

The moment she finished speaking, the spatial soul tool in her hand shone brightly, taking in the level nine fixed-position soul-guided cannon shell, along with its specially made support and other scattered but equally precious materials in the room.

Subsequently, Xue Di continued her journey, visiting seven or eight more similar secret storage facilities hidden in different areas of the warehouse. Each time she made a purchase, she returned with a full load.

After the last storage was emptied, Xue Di's figure swayed slightly in place before disappearing like a wisp of ice flower, leaving no trace.

……

Meanwhile, in a secluded mountain forest far from the imperial palace of the Sun and Moon Empire.

The experts from the Body Sect had been waiting there for a long time, and each of them had a look of anxiety and impatience on their faces.

Especially the sect leader of the Body Sect, the level 99 Limit Douluo named Poison Undying, was extremely anxious at this moment, scratching his head and cheeks. His signature dark green beard trembled slightly incessantly due to his owner's agitation.

"Damn it! Why aren't they here yet?"

Poisonous Undying lowered his voice, but still couldn't hide his violent tone. He cursed at the elders beside him, "What the hell time is it? It's long past the agreed time! If they don't come soon, I can't wait any longer, I'll just lead my men and storm in!"

"Sect Master, please calm down." An elder quickly advised, "Senior Xue Di always has her own methods. Perhaps she was delayed by something."

"What a load of crap!"

Poison Immortal's eyes widened. "This is a matter of life and death! Every second counts!"

Just as he finished speaking, the surrounding air temperature suddenly dropped, and crystal snowflakes fell from the sky without warning, carrying a bone-chilling cold.

Everyone felt a chill and looked up.

A stunningly beautiful figure appeared silently before them amidst the swirling snowflakes; it was none other than the Snow Empress.

She casually tossed several bulging spatial soul tools to Poison Undying and said in a cold voice, "There are several powerful auras in the palace. I will go in with you. You alone are probably no match for them."

Du Busi subconsciously took the heavy spatial soul tools, and was stunned when he heard Xue Di's words.

He was a level 99 Limit Douluo, the pillar of the Body Sect, and across the entire continent, there were only a handful of beings who could reliably defeat him. Even against Long Xiaoyao, the Supreme Elder of the Holy Spirit Sect who was also level 99, he was confident he could put up a fight.

Now the Snow Emperor actually says that there are experts in the palace that even he cannot deal with, and that she needs to go with him? Just what kind of dangerous and dangerous places are hidden in the palace of the Sun Moon Empire?

However, this surprise lasted only a moment before it was replaced by a ferocious smile that appeared on Poison Undying's face.

"Heh heh, who cares what kind of expert he is!"

Poisonous Undying carefully pocketed the spatial soul tools, his dark green eyes flashing with bloodlust. "Perfect! I want to see who these people are, daring to block our path! Today, we'll start with them and send them all to their doom!" Before he finished speaking, an incomparably powerful aura erupted from him, and with a wave of his hand, he shouted, "Men, get your spirits up! Destination: the Imperial Palace! Let's go!"

In an instant, dozens of figures vanished silently into the dense forest like ghosts, swiftly making their way towards a secret tunnel leading to the palace that had already been explored.

The moonlight, like a ribbon, poured down upon the magnificent palace of the Sun and Moon Empire, making every glazed tile gleam with a cool light.

The study of Crown Prince Xu Tianran was brightly lit.

He was dressed in a dark gold robe, looking down at an ancient book in his hands, his brows slightly furrowed, as if he were pondering some important national affairs.

Orange quietly ground ink and added fragrance for him, and the air was filled with a faint scent of ink mixed with calming fragrance.

"Although Lin You is eccentric, his talent and the power he wields are of paramount importance to me." Xu Tianran put down his book, rubbed his temples, and gazed at the deep night outside the window. "Ju Zi, you must make him completely work for me as soon as possible, understand?"

Orange lowered her head slightly, her voice gentle: "Your Highness, rest assured, Orange understands."

Her eyelids were lowered, concealing the complex emotions in her eyes, but she was silently counting the beats in her mind. One, two, three... the passage of time was exceptionally clear to her.

After a while, Ju Zi calculated that it was almost time and said softly, "Your Highness, it is late, I shall take my leave now."

Xu Tianran, unsuspecting, casually waved his hand and said, "Go ahead."

Ju Zi bowed, then gracefully withdrew from the study. She reached the door, gently closed it, but quickened her pace, heading in the opposite direction from the study.

About ten minutes after Orange left the study.

Just then, an old voice suddenly rang out in the air, "Since you're all here, stop hiding. Come out."

A figure appeared out of thin air, hovering directly above Xu Tianran's study, its robes fluttering.

He wore a simple, ancient black robe, which swayed slightly in the night breeze. He stood there quietly, seemingly having stood proudly in the heavens since time immemorial, looking down upon all living beings.

His aged face was devoid of any superfluous expression, yet it exuded an indescribable aloofness and pride, as if this sky was his alone to control and this earth should submit beneath his feet. A terrifying pressure spread out as if it were tangible, causing all the guards below to feel a chill run down their spines, making even breathing difficult.

"Protect His Highness the Crown Prince!"

"There are assassins!"

Suddenly, a flurry of shouts and the clanging of armor filled the palace. Countless figures emerged from the shadows, and a dark mass of guards, like a tidal wave, instantly surrounded Xu Tianran's study. The gleaming swords and spears flashed with a chilling light under the lanterns.

Xu Tianran's expression changed drastically as he stood up abruptly in the study, and he demanded sharply, "What happened?"

No one answered.
