Douluo Dalu: Ice Snake Martial Spirit, Infinite Evolution

Chapter 226 This is the charm of soul tools

Strands of spatial turbulence, accompanied by the shattered space around them, roared through Long Xiaoyao's soul power protection, surging towards everyone like a raging tide.

At the same time, the energy storm from the three level-nine fixed-position soul-guided cannon shells, the thirty-two level-eight fixed-position soul-guided cannon shells that had been detonated earlier, and the explosion of more than one hundred level-seven fixed-position soul-guided cannon shells merged together.

For a moment, the whole world seemed to be put on pause.

First came a silent stillness, then a mushroom cloud nearly a kilometer in diameter shot into the sky, blasting a hole through the clouds that led directly into the universe.

The mushroom cloud soared into the sky, and could be seen clearly even from the outermost edge of Mingdu.

At this moment, this world seemed as if the end of the world had arrived.

Centered on the mushroom cloud, the surface within a 20-kilometer radius was like a sand table crushed by a giant hand, with mountains, rivers, and towns all annihilated in the terrifying torrent of energy.

……

Twenty kilometers away, Dugu Han, Kong Deming, and the others had been nervously watching the direction of the palace ever since Ye Xishui and Long Xiaoyao flew towards it.

Everyone held their breath in suspense!

It wasn't until the explosion of the first level-7 fixed-position soul-guided cannon shell that more than thirty level-7 fixed-position soul-guided cannon shells around it were detonated.

A huge explosion came into everyone's view.

"Success!"

As everyone stared at the distant, level-seven fixed-position soul-guided cannon shells exploding continuously, and the palace filled with smoke, a surge of joy welled up in their hearts.

"quick!"

The Emperor of the Sun Moon Empire looked at the four people in charge of the fixed-mount soul-guided turrets with delight and hurriedly said, "Quickly prepare the level eight and level nine fixed-mount soul-guided shells."

The four immediately prepared to load the level 8 and level 9 fixed-position soul-guided shells next to them.

However, before they could finish loading, the more than one hundred level-seven fixed-position soul-guided cannon shells buried in the palace were detonated again.

The simultaneous explosion of over a hundred level-seven or higher fixed-position soul-guided cannon shells caused a tremendous commotion that instantly affected the area.

In an instant, the earth's veins, like an ancient beast awakening, began to tremble violently. The mountains and rivers around them, along with the earth's veins turning over, suddenly arched and cracked, with huge rocks falling off the mountains and crashing down on the surroundings.

The mountain where everyone was standing suddenly split open into a huge crevice, and the four level 8 and level 9 fixed-position soul-guided turrets, along with the level 8 and level 9 fixed-position soul-guided shells neatly arranged around them, instantly fell into it.

Kong Deming immediately withdrew the Silver Moon Divine Light Shield that had enveloped everyone, and then used the Silver Moon Divine Light Shield to cover the soul-guided cannon turret and cannonballs that had fallen into the huge crevice.

Immediately following, the second wave of explosions came without warning. As all the level 7 fixed-position soul-guided shells were detonated, the remaining 32 level 8 fixed-position soul-guided shells also burst forth with a lava-like orange-red light, instantly obliterating all the buildings in the entire palace.

Immediately afterwards, a terrifying sound like gears meshing came from deep underground, and the remaining thirty-two level-eight soul-guided cannon shells exploded one after another like a chain reaction of volcanoes, creating dark purple death ripples.

At the same time, a series of incredibly powerful explosive shocks followed.

The wind forced everyone to use their soul power to protect themselves.

When the last three level-nine soul-guided cannonballs were detonated, the entire Mingdu was plunged into complete darkness in an instant. Only the turbulent energy flow flickered above the ruins, like the pulsating heartbeat of death.

Even the scorching rays of the sun high in the sky were suppressed by this energy storm.

The energy storms generated by the explosions of the level 7, level 8, and the last three level 9 fixed-position soul-guided cannon shells merged to form an enormous mushroom cloud with a diameter of several kilometers.

Even if people were standing 20 kilometers away, they could see it clearly.

Immediately following, a powerful surge of energy spread rapidly outwards from the center of the mushroom cloud.

Wherever the energy impact passed, everything on earth—grass, trees, animals, houses, buildings, and so on—was instantly wiped out.

Kong Deming instantly unleashed his Silver Moon Divine Light Shield, enveloping everyone within it, protecting them while also blocking the powerful energy impact.

"They should be dead by now!"

Ma Xiaotao stared blankly at the earth-shattering scene.

This was the first time she had truly witnessed the power of a soul tool.

"That's the charm of soul tools!"

Ye Yulin proudly said, "As long as we are well prepared, even the Limit Douluo standing at the top of the continent cannot face so many fixed-position soul-guided cannons at the same time."

"Don't underestimate the Limit Douluo!"

Kong Deming glanced at him, then quickly handed over the four level eight and level nine fixed-position soul-guided turrets that he had just put away to another elder and three level eight soul masters.

"Immediately bombard the direction of the palace, as quickly as possible."

"it is good!"

The enshrined monk immediately led three level-eight soul masters to set up soul-guided artillery emplacements on the spot.

"Level 8 fixed-position soul-guided turret, installation complete!"

"Level 8 fixed-position soul-guided turret, installation complete!"

"Level 8 fixed-position soul-guided turret, installation complete!"

"Level 9 fixed-position soul-guided turret, installation complete!"

While the four were reporting, they also finished loading three level-eight fixed-position soul-guided shells and nineteen fixed-position soul-guided shells respectively.

"No need to report. Firing all of your fixed-mount soul-guided shells as quickly as possible," Kong Deming said solemnly.

Upon hearing this, the four fell silent, their gazes fixed on the direction of the palace, which was still shrouded in the energy storm of the explosion.

"Launch!" "Launch!"

"emission!"

"emission!"

A tremendous roar came from the fixed soul-guided turret standing on the ground.

A loud 'boom' suddenly exploded!
Four streaks of light pierced the sky in an instant.

The leading-edge level nine fixed-position soul-guided cannon shell, with its tail flame resembling a crimson comet, instantly empties the air within a hundred meters, creating visible vacuum ripples.

The jet-black shell, like a miniature star, tore through the clouds, leaving a trail of burning purplish-black flames in its wake. Even the gale-force winds at high altitudes could not disperse this terrifying energy remnant.

Three level-eight fixed-position soul-guided cannon shells followed closely behind, also bursting out with dazzling blue light. The energy fluctuations that attracted each other intertwined in the air to form a net of death light, which quickly bombarded the energy storm at the palace.

at the same time!

From the three other directions centered on the palace, one level-nine fixed-position soul-guided cannon shell and three level-eight fixed-position soul-guided cannon shells were launched from each direction.

The same crimson tail flame, along with three blue beams of light that intertwined in the sky behind it, rapidly attacked the energy storm at the palace.

A distance of twenty kilometers can be covered in just twenty seconds with the speed of a level nine fixed-position soul-guided cannon shell.

Those twenty seconds, like a countdown to death, passed in the blink of an eye.

The level 9 fixed-position soul-guided cannon shells at the forefront arrived first.

At the same time, level 9 fixed-position soul-guided shells from three other directions also arrived one after another.

Four level-nine fixed-position soul-guided cannonballs fell simultaneously like four meteors. The moment they touched the energy storm, space seemed to be torn apart with spiderweb-like cracks. Then, after being impacted by the energy storm, the four level-nine fixed-position soul-guided cannonballs exploded instantly.

The crimson explosion core, centered on the palace, formed a high-temperature zone with a radius of three kilometers. The earth twisted and undulated like boiling magma, and purple energy shockwaves spread like a tsunami. The remaining building ruins were instantly evaporated into dust.

Even people 20 kilometers away were thrown to the ground by this terrifying shockwave, and the ground beneath their feet cracked like a spider web.

Immediately afterwards, level 128 fixed-position soul-guided cannon shells, like blue-purple lightning, pierced into the aftershocks of the explosion from four directions simultaneously.

The energy from the level 8 shell and the residual energy from the level 9 explosion resonated violently, forming a terrifying energy vortex.

The entire sky was dyed an eerie purplish-blue, and the already shattered spatial rifts continued to expand, devouring everything around them.

The small mountains within a ten-kilometer radius were cut in half, and the ground surface sank to form a huge funnel-shaped abyss, with hot lava constantly spewing from its edges.

But it's not over yet...

The second round of four level-nine fixed-position soul-guided cannon shells, each carrying three level-eight fixed-position soul-guided cannon shells, were fired from four directions toward the palace.

"Four more level-nine fixed-position soul-guided shells, and twelve level-eight fixed-position soul-guided shells."

Ma Xiaotao stared at the fixed-position soul-guided cannon shell that was fired again, and couldn't help but gasp.

"continue!"

Kong Deming stared at the four people controlling the fixed-mount soul-guided cannon shells and ordered, "Fire out all the last fixed-mount soul-guided cannon shells, don't leave a single one behind."

"Mr. Kong!"

An eighth-level Soul Master hesitated and said, "That's about right. Eighth-level fixed-position Soul Guidance Shells are not easy to make, and ninth-level fixed-position Soul Guidance Shells are even more difficult to make. Even if the whole country is mobilized, less than five can be made in a year."

“Yeah, maybe we should use it sparingly,” another level eight soul master said.

"Mr. Kong!"

The elder who controlled the level-nine fixed-position soul-guided cannon looked at the last level-nine fixed-position soul-guided cannon shell in his hand and hesitated, saying, "We buried so many fixed-position soul-guided cannon shells in the palace before."

"In addition to the two rounds of eight level-nine fixed-position soul-guided shells just now, and forty level-eight fixed-position soul-guided shells."

"Even if a legendary god descended, they would absolutely not be able to withstand it, let alone Ye Xishui and Long Xiaoyao, who are only Limit Douluo."

As the worshipper was speaking, he suddenly noticed that Kong Deming's face had darkened, and he immediately dared not say anything more.

They had no choice but to obediently load the last level-nine fixed-position soul-guided cannon shell into the level-nine fixed-position soul-guided turret.

"Listen to Master Kong!"

The emperor of the Sun Moon Empire also issued orders to the other three level-eight soul masters.

He will not be able to sleep well as long as the Holy Spirit Church exists.

Although the cost of a level 8 fixed-position soul-guided shell is quite high, a level 9 fixed-position soul-guided shell is even more difficult to manufacture.

But it's worth it to exchange these dead things for the destruction of the Holy Spirit Cult, this evil cult of soul masters!
"Yes!"

The other three level-eight soul masters, upon receiving orders from the Emperor of the Sun Moon Empire, immediately began loading the remaining three level-eight fixed-position soul-guided cannon shells.

"Unfortunately, there wasn't enough time!"

"Otherwise, we can bring in ten more level-nine fixed-position soul-guided cannon shells!"

The Sun Moon Empire shook its head as it watched the remaining level 8 and level 9 fixed-position soul-guided cannon shells being loaded.

While everyone was talking, the second wave of four level-nine fixed-position soul-guided cannonballs, which attacked the palace from four directions, arrived at the palace like four falling dark stars, accompanied by a shrill whistling sound that tore through space.

The crimson tail flames scorched the distorted void, and wherever it passed, the space emitted a crisp sound like shattering glass.
