Douluo: Dragon King Huo Yuhao Lives Ten Thousand Years Later

Chapter 252 Light of Destruction
Besides the Amorous Douluo, the Divine Realm Douluo Enci was also somewhat astonished.

He never expected this to happen.

Why would they let a junior carry a level-nine fixed-position soul-guided cannon? Are they sure they're not here to show off in Star Luo?
He subconsciously looked at the Amorous Douluo and the Soul-Suppressing Douluo, paying particular attention to the latter.

Huo Yuhao is a member of the Spirit Pagoda. Since he carries a level-nine fixed-position soul guide cannon, does this Super Douluo of the Spirit Pagoda also carry a powerful soul guide weapon?

The Soul Douluo was unaware of Enci's thoughts, but that didn't stop him from maintaining a calm demeanor on the surface. However, he couldn't help but feel a pang of emotion within himself:

Her Majesty the Snow Empress truly dotes on Huo Yuhao, even providing him with a level nine fixed-position soul-guided cannon. Is this in reference to the treatment of auspicious beasts?

He had already recognized that the level nine fixed-position soul-guided cannon shell that Huo Yuhao took out was the type designed by the first tower master. This was obviously provided to him by Xue Di, who was a high-ranking member of the Spirit Pagoda, which showed how much Xue Di valued Huo Yuhao.

However, upon further reflection, the Soul Douluo felt it was perfectly reasonable. Huo Yuhao was the only disciple the Snow Empress had accepted in ten thousand years, so it was only natural that she valued him so highly.

Seeing that the Soul Douluo remained calm, Enci frowned and looked towards the Tang Sect branch. He thought to himself: If even this young generation member has such a trump card, what about the others in the Federation delegation? The plan probably won't go smoothly… Should he try to stop it now?
But if he really does that, this level-nine fixed-position soul-guided cannon shell might end up in the middle of their Star Luo army...

As Enci pondered, Huo Yuhao swiped his right hand across the storage soul tool at his waist, and a portable soul-guided cannon launcher, entirely silver-gray, appeared in his hand. The cannon barrel was densely covered with intricate core magic array patterns, gleaming with a cold metallic luster under the moonlight.

Huo Yuhao skillfully loaded the dark red patterned shell into the cannon barrel.

With a crisp "click," the core magic arrays inside the cannon barrel lit up one by one, emitting a deep hum, indicating that they were ready.

The God Realm Douluo's eyebrows twitched as he watched.

Even the soul tools for amplifying and unlocking soul-guided cannon shells are specially configured?

As technology advances, the activation of higher-level fixed-position soul-guided projectiles becomes increasingly complex, with level 12 projectiles requiring particularly tedious preparations. Activating level 9 fixed-position soul-guided projectiles is less difficult, but still requires specific methods.

As for the reason for designing the fixed-mount soul-guided projectiles in this way... it's simply for safety.

After all, if a level 9 fixed-position soul-guided cannon shell were to explode due to an accident, the losses would be no joke.

"Prepare--"

Seeing that Huo Yuhao was ready, Huang Zhengyang's authoritative voice spread throughout the entire army through the amplified soul guide device.

The Star Luo Army's soul-guided cannon positions instantly lit up with dense bursts of soul power light, the cannons adjusted their angles, and locked onto the Tang Sect branch. The mecha units' shoulder cannons and chest cannons were all fully charged, and the soul masters also gathered their soul skills, ready to fire.

"emission!"

Huo Yuhao's eyes flashed with a cold light. With a wave of his arm, a level-nine fixed-position soul-guided cannonball instantly pierced the night sky, leaving a trail of dark red flame.

At the same moment, the Star Luo army's soul-guided cannons roared in unison, and countless light bullets and rays poured down like a torrential rain.

The moment the shell hit the ground, time seemed to stand still for a second.

Immediately afterwards——

boom! ! !
A deafening explosion ripped through the night sky, and a blinding white light erupted from the center of the Xuan Shi Tang Men Company, like a newborn sun. A terrifying shockwave spread in a ring, causing the building's exterior walls to crumble like paper, and all the glass to turn to dust. The destructive energy of the level-nine fixed-position soul-guided cannon shell swept everything away. A soul-guided barrier seemed to have risen at the Tang Men branch, but it was reduced to ashes in an instant.

Before the aftershocks of the explosion had subsided, the Star Luo army's second bombardment had already begun. Multicolored soul-guided shells and soul skill beams rained down like a meteor shower, plowing through the ruins once more. Flames and smoke shot into the sky, forming a massive mushroom cloud that shrouded the entire night sky above West Sea City…

……

Beneath the Tang Clan branch, now the headquarters of the Dawn Society, Blood Shadow, Bone Dragon, and Demon Scythe Douluo had gathered at some unknown time. The entire underground space was shaped like an inverted bowl, with hundreds of drained corpses embedded in the walls. Their empty eye sockets were all facing the center of the magic circle, as if performing some kind of eerie worship. The ground was covered with twisted runes, which wriggled and moved with the operation of the magic circle, like living beings.

Before them stood a massive crimson magic circle, at the center of which a constantly twisting, dark red ball of light was coalescing. Within it, a strangely shaped, blood-red vertical pupil was vaguely visible taking shape. The surface of the pupil was covered with intricate, nerve-like patterns, and chilling mental fluctuations constantly pulsed from its opening.

Bone Dragon Douluo stood on the east side of the magic circle, holding a soul bone in his hands. From the flowing dragon soul phantom on it, it could be seen that it came from some kind of powerful dragon-type soul beast.

As the Bone Dragon Douluo chanted the incantation, the energy flowing from the dragon bones transformed into threads that wrapped around the blood-red vertical pupils, adding a touch of sacred yet eerie aura to them.

The Demon Scythe Douluo stood on the west side of the magic circle, his menacing black scythe plunged into the ground. Thick black mist seeped from the scythe blade, condensing in the air into faces groaning in agony, which were ultimately swallowed by the vertical pupil at the center of the magic circle.

Behind the two of them, there were many Holy Spirit Cult members contributing to this bizarre ritual.

Blood Shadow Douluo leaned against the wall, arms crossed, watching their actions. "They're really making a big fuss. They've even refined the Soul-Seizing Eye. It seems that Lord Ghost Emperor is determined to get the Holy Son."

Bone Dragon Douluo sneered, and the Dragon Soul Bone in his hand suddenly emitted a dazzling golden light. "You've witnessed the Holy Son's strength these past few days. The Soul-Seizing Eye is indeed precious, but compared to the value of being able to control the Holy Son, what is this price?"

"That's true."

Blood Shadow Douluo shrugged. "Speaking of which, when will Lord Ghost Emperor arrive? If it's just us, we're no match for that Amorous Douluo."

“Isn’t God Realm Douluo over there? Just let him block Amorous Douluo…” Demon Scythe Douluo said casually, then suddenly looked up, his smile freezing on his face, and an unprecedented sense of crisis crept up his spine like a venomous snake.

“This…this is…” Her voice began to tremble.

What's going on? This ominous premonition and devastating fluctuation...

Bone Dragon Douluo seemed to have received news from the outside world. Suddenly, the dragon soul bone in his hand cracked open with a snap. His eyes widened, and the color drained from his face instantly. "It's a level nine fixed-position soul-guided cannon shell! Run!"

He frantically tore open a spatial rift, yelling, "Enter the passage! Now!"

Blood Shadow Douluo and Demon Scythe Douluo had no time to pay attention to the evil soul masters around them, and rushed into the crack with solemn expressions.

Other Holy Spirit Cult Soul Masters tried to catch up, but were instantly greeted by endless light.

They didn't even have time to scream. Even those powerful figures comparable to Title Douluos melted like wax in the blazing white light after being engulfed by the terrifying energy storm. Their distorted faces were frozen in terror at the last moment before turning to ashes and vanishing.

Huo Yuhao hovered high in the sky, gazing at the distant light of destruction.

Behind him, some soldiers from the Star Luo Federation watched this scene with pale faces and fear in their eyes.

The earth trembled, and a massive mushroom cloud rose from the location of the Tang Clan branch. Intense white light illuminated the night sky as if it were daytime, and shockwaves swept across an area of ​​several miles, causing buildings to collapse like pieces of paper.

Why are level 9 fixed-position soul-guided cannon shells considered forbidden weapons by both the Federation and Star Luo?

The scene before us is the best illustration of this.

The level 9 fixed-position soul-guided cannon shell is often said to be comparable to a full-force, ultimate attack.

A strike from a near-demigod is the ultimate strike, and a strike from a demigod is also the ultimate strike. So what kind of level nine fixed-position soul-guided cannon shell is it?

The answer is... a quasi-god! The pinnacle of power below the level of a god!
