Chapter 298 Seeing the Direction of Era Change

The noisy parliament hall was suddenly interrupted by a piercing alarm.

"Warning! Extremely high energy reaction detected!"

"The city's protective formation is crumbling!"

The mechanical, electronic sounds sent chills down everyone's spine.

The screen projection unfolds, focusing on the East.

High in the sky, to the left is a vast expanse of white, cold air, and to the right is a dark, swirling storm.

This extreme visual impact sliced ​​the entire sky of Mingdu in two.

Although the Frost Tribe and Lightning Tribe have few motorcycle warriors, they are extremely powerful.

Especially after undergoing evolutionary genetic modifications by Huo Tian Shu, the former's "Netherworld Ice Moth" mechanical evolution grants the Frost Tribe even more powerful frost attacks; the latter's "Soul-Devouring Thunder Demon" mechanical evolution grants the Lightning Tribe the terrifying ability to control thunderstorms. The two tribes' fighter jets flew crisscrossing among the clouds, the frost currents and thunderstorms intertwining to form a destructive energy network.

"How long can the city's protective formation hold out?"

The Speaker of the Federal Parliament asked in a hoarse voice.

The technical officer stared at the wildly fluctuating numbers on the data screen, his back drenched in cold sweat: "At most... three minutes."

The entire parliament hall fell into a deathly silence, with only the sharp wail of alarms.

Suddenly, a red light flashed on the central screen. The scene changed, and the level seven soul guidance barrier in the eastern suburbs of Mingdu shattered like fragile glass, with countless metal fragments flying everywhere in the torrential rain.

Ice and lightning formed a spiraling energy storm above Mingdu, and all the clock towers in the city simultaneously sounded the doomsday alarm.

Dressed in a black robe, Qian Gu Die Ting coldly gazed at Ming Du below, his heart undisturbed. From the day he submitted everything to Chen Zhou, Chen Zhou's orders became his supreme will.

"The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School and the East Sea Guard, under the jurisdiction of the Spirit Pagoda, are hereby ordered."

"Enter the city below and annihilate all resistance you encounter!"

"Those who surrender will not be killed, but their soul power will be sealed, and they will be imprisoned to await judgment!"

Seven crimson beams of light suddenly pierced the clouds, melting the paving stones of Mingdu's central square into crimson magma. The elite troops of the Spirit Pagoda emerged in formation from the beams of light; their spirit rings hadn't even lit up yet, but their chilling killing intent had already frozen the nearby patrolling city defense troops. These mechanically modified spirit masters had their exoskeletons extending from their spines, humming as they charged.

"The suppression of the third block is complete."

The leader kicked aside the unconscious law enforcement officer at his feet, and a cold, hard report came through his earpiece. As he turned around, the armor on his back unfolded into a spider-like mechanical arm, pinning the agility-type Soul Master who was trying to launch a sneak attack to the wall.

The Mingdu underground command center was a chaotic mess. The Chief of Staff loosened his tie, his hand trembling as he waved the real-time battle map: "All seven Soul Master regiments in the East District have lost contact! The West District's defensive fortifications have been dissolved by some kind of corrosive energy." His words were interrupted by a deafening collapse. Dust fell from the ceiling, and before the monitoring screens went dark, the last thing people saw was a silver wave spreading across the streets—the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School's Soul Guidance Sword Formation advancing. Each flying sword was wrapped in a stream of azure light, rendering all Soul Guidance Devices ineffective in its path.

These support soul masters, who previously could only stand on the continent by relying on disciples of other surnames, embraced the new soul guidance technology without hesitation after surrendering to Chenzhou. The Soul Guidance Sword Formation was a soul guidance combat weapon that the sect leader spent a large sum of money to request the Supreme Research Group to create, which was adapted to the disciples of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.

The once bustling Mingdu Financial Street, which was vibrant and lively just thirty minutes ago, is now eerily silent. Shattered glass walls reflect the ever-shifting aurora borealis in the sky. The once-thriving intersection is now nothing but the wreckage of a soul-guided cannon stuck upside down in the asphalt. Utility poles lie haphazardly, their broken cables twitching like dying snakes.

The cold rain suddenly turned into hail, and ice crystals the size of fingernails pelted the shoulder armor of the Spirit Pagoda enforcers, playing an eerie requiem. The middle-aged man at the front of the group suddenly raised his fist, and the thirty people behind him immediately stopped in their tracks. The scanner on his visor locked onto the third floor of the department store—through thermal imaging, seventeen human silhouettes could be seen huddled in the mother and baby room.

"Civilians, please detour."

Huo Tian Shu's electronic voice came through the communication channel. The enforcement captain nodded in acknowledgment, and the team immediately split into two groups to flank the building from both sides. The specially made sound-absorbing pads on the soles of their boots absorbed all sound, with only the alchemical compasses hanging at their waists vibrating slightly—a warning sign of high-level soul power fluctuations.

The captain suddenly rolled to the side, and a smoking hole was burned into the spot where he had been standing by a charged ray. At the top of the clock tower at the five o'clock position, a level nine soul master was charging a shoulder-mounted soul-guided energy-gathering cannon for its second shot.

"There's still something at the seven o'clock direction—"

Before the warning could be finished, the entire clock tower was suddenly covered in azure ice crystals. Three transforming fighters of the Frost Tribe swept across the sky, one of which was slowly retracting its icy jets. The Soul Master, frozen in the ice pillar, still wore a look of astonishment, while the core of his Soul Tool cracked into dust in the extreme cold.

"Keep pushing forward."

The captain kicked away the vending machine blocking his path, shards of glass sparking as they scraped against his armor. As he rounded the corner of Wall Street, he finally saw his ultimate target—the neo-Gothic spire of the Federal Capitol, now firmly locked onto by twelve tractor beams. The other end of the beams connected to a massive fortress suspended in the ionosphere, from which a steady stream of mechs were being airdropped through several hatches at the bottom of the fortress.

Before the main entrance of the Parliament Building, Qian Gu Die Ting stood with his hands behind his back. This former deputy tower master of the Spirit Tower was now wearing a black cloak with gold patterns, and nine spirit rings—six black and three red—slowly rotated around his body. Opposite him, twelve Soul Douluos, led by the Hu Yan family, formed a battle formation, and the various spirit skills shone with a bizarre and dazzling light on the marble steps.

"Qian Gu Die Ting! You are a human, yet you serve as a lackey for the machine race!"

Veins bulged on the forehead of the Huyan family head, and the phantom of the Diamond Mammoth Martial Soul roared behind him, "You have disgraced our ancestors!"

His response was a sudden surge of overwhelming soul power from Qian Gu Die Ting. The level 99 soul power crashed down like a tsunami, causing the martial souls of the twelve Soul Douluos to simultaneously let out mournful cries. Even more terrifying were the mechs descending from the clouds; the alchemical domains they unleashed upon landing caused the soul power concentration around the council building to plummet to 5% of its normal value.

"The advantage of living a long life is..."

Qian Gu Die Ting gently raised his hand, and his sixth soul ring suddenly shone brightly, "It can see the direction of the era's changes."

A massive, powerful staff crashed down, the Black Dragon Soul roaring forth from the Coiled Dragon Staff. In a dizzying display, the Diamond Mammoth Martial Soul was shredded into particles of light by the dragon's shadow. The Hu Yan family head coughed up blood and was sent flying backward, crashing through seven Roman columns before finally stopping. Just as the other Soul Douluos were about to come to their aid, hundreds of crimson targeting lasers suddenly lit up all around them—the mechs that had completed their landing had completely surrounded them.
