Douluo Continent: I ushered in this era

Gao Zhen's second spirit ring lit up. A cannonball with a diameter of more than one meter, shimmering with dazzling light, orange-red like the sun, but with a deep black light flashing at its core, shot towards Chu Ci.

The second soul skill, Black Sun, has extremely strong attack power.

With Black Sun in front and Shockwave behind, attacking from both sides, Gao Zhen's masterful control of the mecha was on full display.

Chu Ci remained completely calm. His first and second soul rings flashed, the Divine Balance behind him undulated, and the ice element around him instantly became denser.

A blue light flashed through Chu Ci's eyes, and ice elements instantly condensed into countless sword threads, which in turn formed a shield to block the shockwave coming from behind.

Chu Ci turned his wrist, and the sword threads instantly became as soft as silk wrapped around a finger.

As he turned his wrist, the sword threads surged towards the area around Black Sun.

The chilling aura emanating from the sword threads weakened the power of the Black Sun. The sword threads circled the Black Sun, forming a pattern similar to a tai chi symbol, generating a suction force that caused the Black Sun to brush past Chu Ci and crash into the transparent shield.

Gao Zhen's heart sank. He quickly maneuvered the mecha to retreat away from Chu Ci, who was getting closer and closer. Six gun barrels extended from the mecha's shoulder and fired six soul-guided rays simultaneously.

Countless white feathers fell from the sky, and the three Chu Ci figures fluttered freely. In the blink of an eye, six soul-guided rays swept past Chu Ci.

Gao Zhen's fifth spirit ring flashed, and he slammed his mecha into the ground, unleashing countless dense pillars of fire.

At the same time, several launchers on the mech activated, firing countless shells into the sky before they rained down on Chu Ci.

Chu Ci, who was already close to Gao Zhen, was naturally within the attack range of the fire pillars, and the fire pillars were very dense, so Chu Ci had no way to avoid them.

Chu Ci stepped on feathers and soared into the sky, making several strange movements to dodge the cannonballs falling from the sky. Countless sword threads gathered beneath him to form an ice unicorn.

Chu Ci landed on the head of the Ice Qilin and commanded it to stomp the ground. The Qilin's stomp was incredibly powerful, and with the high strength of the ice element Chu Ci had gained from his current soul power, the Ice Qilin's stomp extinguished the pillar of fire beneath it.

To Gao Zhen's horrified gaze, Chu Ci leaped high into the air, and the Ice Qilin transformed into a giant ice sword, descending from the sky and smashing down with a single strike.

Gao Zhen poured soul power into the mecha, and his mecha suddenly turned crimson red. A wave of energy burst out from inside the mecha, like a huge energy shield pushing outward.

The giant ice sword pierced the crimson shockwave, which vanished in less than two seconds, giving Gao Zhen a chance to retreat.

Gao Zhen's control was extremely precise, and the Miekong mech nimbly retreated backward, while a giant sword appeared in Miekong's hand.

Strands of black flames swirled around the giant sword. Gao Zhen's third soul ring lit up, and the Demon Extermination Sun burned even more fiercely, emitting an even more terrifying high temperature. The space around the giant sword was completely distorted by the heat.

Gao Zhen controlled the Sky-Destroying Void, wielding a giant sword and sweeping it horizontally. Although he was not good at close combat, it was not impossible for him to use it.

This sword strike was powerful and heavy, burning with raging black flames; a single blow could take away half a life.

Chu Ci spread his palm, and the ice element sword threads gathered into eight giant ice swords. The ice sword wheel composed of the nine ice swords was thrown by Chu Ci and flew towards Gao Zhen like a spinning top.

At the same time, a phoenix cry rang out, and three "Chu Ci" wielders simultaneously threw out icy sword wheels to attack Gao Zhen.

Three icy sword wheels flew back and forth, leaving Gao Zhen completely bewildered. One moment he thought one was real, but was knocked off balance by another, and the next he thought it was real, only to be knocked over by yet another.

But Gao Zhen didn't think about it too much, because he didn't want to get into close combat with Chu Ci.

On one occasion, when Chu Ci swung the Frost Sword Wheel with great force and struck Gao Zhen's mech, leaving a deep sword mark on the Miekong, Gao Zhen used the immense force of the Frost Sword Wheel hitting the Miekong to leap backward and retreat.

At the same time, the giant sword in the mecha's hand has been replaced with a soul-guided cannon. Gao Zhen releases his soul power and, while leaping backward, drives the soul-guided cannon to continuously fire shells covering the Demon-Slaying Sun.

Chu Ci saw several shells flying towards him, and a hint of annoyance flashed in his eyes. He threw the Frost Sword Wheel aside, and with a wave of his hand, countless technologically advanced firearms appeared behind him.

The soul guidance arrays engraved on various firearms emitted a faint crimson light, and streaks of crimson light extended from the firearms, connecting with each other to form a large soul guidance array that linked all the firearms together.

At the center of the soul-guiding array, there is a purple soul sphere, inside which is a crimson beast resembling a tiger, which connects to the array and merges into it.

Chu Ci pointed high, and soul power flowed through the crimson soul guidance array, emanating a strong aura of ferocity. The guns on the array fired simultaneously, spewing out shells, bullets, and soul guidance rays.

But what was most shocking was that, with a roar from the crimson beast inside the Soul Orb, the bullets, shells, soul-guided rays, and so on actually formed a ferocious and monstrous crimson beast.

"The Qiongqi Warrior is ready, please enjoy!"

With the soul as the core, a soul-guiding array is inscribed to connect the soul-guiding devices, achieving a synergistic effect greater than the sum of its parts.

This is also a soul-guiding formation created by Chu Ci, called the Qiongqi Soldier Formation.

Using a highly lethal firearm-type soul tool, boundless malevolent energy is unleashed, unleashing tremendous power.

The Qiongqi beast slashed out with its claw, shattering multiple shells fired by Gao Zhen, and roared as it charged toward Miekong.

In this round of exchanges, Chu Ci clearly had the upper hand. Gao Zhen, inside the mech Annihilation, had a bitter expression on his face. He was being beaten so badly by a four-ring Soul Master while piloting a purple-level mech that he couldn't even lift his head. He would never have believed this before, but today he finally understood why Chu Ci's level was so high.

Gao Zhen operated the air-extinguishing technique, waving his mech arm, and a crimson wave of air shot out, quickly forming a crimson shield on his right arm.

With a loud "bang," the Qiongqi roared as it crashed into the crimson shield, creating a huge shockwave. Cracks instantly appeared on the shield, and the shafts on the mech's right arm creaked as if they were about to shatter completely in the next second.

The powerful force propelled Gao Zhen backward, leaving a deep scratch on the ground. Gao Zhen immediately activated the thrusters on his back to stop himself.

At the same time, Gao Zhen continued to increase his soul power output, and the Demon-Slaying Sun ignited on the crimson shield, eroding the power of the Qiongqi.

Chu Ci's eyes were indifferent, and the large soul-guiding array behind him lit up again, emitting a crimson light resembling blood. The firearms charged up, ready to launch another attack.

Gao Zhen was startled. He pressed a button, and a device on his back opened, revealing six soul-guided cannonballs.

The Sky-Destroying Cannon locked onto Chu Ci and launched six soul-guided missiles toward him.

Chu Ci raised an eyebrow, turned the six guns around, and shot out streaks of fire from their muzzles to intercept the soul-guided cannonballs in the air.

Chapter 122 Qiongqi's Roar, Ultimate Strike

But just as these six soul-guided cannonballs were about to be intercepted, the surrounding space fluctuated, and then the six soul-guided cannonballs disappeared instantly.

"Spatial manipulation?" Chu Ci's lips curled into a smile. "Interesting!"

The shells disappeared because Gao Zhen activated his second martial soul, the spatial element.

Chu Ci swept his spiritual power over the area and instantly discovered that the cannonball had appeared next to the Qiongqi Soldier Formation and was about to bombard the core of the formation.

It seems Gao Zhen is trying to suppress his output, buy time, and find a way to defeat himself.

But you think you can dismantle the soul guidance array that I painstakingly built with so much soul power so easily?

Chu Ci snapped his fingers, and a soul-guided shield shot out.

The six shells struck the protective shield, causing an explosion that generated a violent energy storm.

However, before the energy storm could be fully unleashed, it was absorbed without a drop being wasted by the suddenly appearing Soul-Stealing Beast, and then fed back into the Soul Guiding Array to replenish its energy.

Gao Zhen gritted his teeth and made Miekong withstand the impact of Bing Sha Qiongqi. At the moment the red shield shattered, he ignored the creaking of his entire machine shaft and forcibly twisted the machine.

This extreme dodge allowed the Soldier Qiongqi to glide past the Extinction Sky, but the earth-shattering shockwave from the explosion of the Soldier Qiongqi hitting the transparent shield still knocked the Extinction Sky to the ground not far away.

But in the instant before the air mass collapsed, Gao Zhen still managed to execute the sophisticated maneuver of repeated explosions.

Six cannonballs were launched, exploding in succession along the path that Chu Ci was bound to take, thus blocking Chu Ci's path.

Helpless, Chu Ci could only choose to let the Qiongqi Army's fierce formation shatter Gao Zhen.

But Gao Zhen threw the soul cannon in his hand, and the soul cannon flashed with silver light. The next second, it appeared above Chu Ci's head and exploded instantly.

This handheld soul-guided cannon is a level six soul-guided device. The power generated when it explodes is extremely great. Chu Ci had to stop the soul-guided array from charging up and summon a soul-guided shield to resist the explosion.

At this moment, Gao Zhen controlled Mie Kong to get up from the ground. His fourth soul ring flashed, and Mie Kong raised his arms. Behind him, a black sun rose up, surrounded by a golden halo.

With a wave of his hands, a black sphere shimmering with golden light flew towards Chu Ci, followed by three more black-gold light spheres.

With a wave of his hand, Chu Ci unleashed four soul-guided rays from the magic array behind him, which shot towards the black-gold sphere of light.

Three black-gold orbs of light flew out one after another from behind. Just as the first orb touched Chu Ci's soul guide ray, the three orbs suddenly accelerated and collided, actually merging into a larger orb. Then, this orb generated a strange suction force, which actually pulled back the first orb that was about to collide with Chu Ci.

The soul-guided ray struck empty air, but the four black-gold orbs had already merged together, transforming into a giant orb with a diameter of over five meters.

Golden lightning flashed across the surface of the sphere of light, and even just by looking at it, one could deeply feel the terrifying energy it contained.

The abdomen of the Extinction Void extended, revealing a huge, dark cannon muzzle within.

An invisible pressure appeared around Chu Ci, stopping his actions.

Gao Zhen poured his remaining soul power into the Extinction Cannon, and terrifying energy condensed in the muzzle.

Chu Ci frowned slightly, and the guns and soul tools behind him melted away, leaving behind only soul guidance arrays that looked like beautiful patterns.

The Qiongqi Soldier Formation also continuously folded and closed, eventually transforming into a small but extremely complex soul-guiding array.

The firearms melted into molten metal and gathered together, transforming under the control of Chu Ci's spiritual power into a long spear with an ancient and imposing design.

The shrunken Qiongqi Squad Formation was engraved on this spear, emanating a thick aura of blood that stained the area around Chu Ci crimson.

The imposing spear fell into Chu Ci's hands, and Chu Ci raised the spear to aim at Gao Zhen.

Gao Zhen had also finished charging up his power. The pitch-black cannon fired with a roar, and the energy wave as thick as a bucket shot out passed through the huge black and gold light sphere in front of him, bursting out into an energy storm dyed with black and gold flames. The surrounding space was first ignited by the Demon Extermination Sun, and then torn apart by the storm, and suddenly shattered.

Chu Ci's eyes remained calm as he gently pulled the trigger. The tiger-shaped raging wave shot out, colliding with the black-gold energy storm, carrying endless bloodthirsty energy.

"Boom!" The arena was filled with violent energy, and Chu Ci and Gao Zhen could no longer be seen.

Crimson, gold, and black swirled and raged within the arena, seemingly intent on destroying everything.

"No!" Gu Yue shouted anxiously, and was about to rush towards the arena.

But Bai Tianzhe grabbed her and desperately stopped her, saying, "Gu Yue, there are strong enough protective measures inside the arena. Even if a Title Douluo fights here, he won't get hurt at all. Don't be impulsive!"

Gu Yue's emotions gradually calmed down after hearing Bai Tianzhe's words, but she still stared intently at the arena, searching for Chu Ci's figure.

The violent energy inside the arena surged for more than a minute before gradually subsiding, revealing two figures protected by soul-guided shields.

"call……"

Seeing that the two on the stage were safe and sound, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

On the arena, Chu Ci stood leaning on his spear, his face pale but his posture still upright.

On the other side, half of the mech's fuselage was destroyed, and it clearly needed to be repaired before it could be used again.

Gao Zhen lay on the ground, his breath weak. With the destruction of the Miekong, he naturally could not escape his fate. He was affected by Chu Ci's last shot and was unable to get up from the ground.

"Huff... Huff..." Gao Zhen's eyes were filled with disbelief and lingering fear. If it weren't for the soul guide shield that suddenly rose on the arena, he would have been crippled or killed in that energy storm.

As the soul-guided shield descended, Bai Tianzhe and the others were about to go up and help Chu Ci when a flash of silver light appeared, and Gu Yue appeared beside Chu Ci and supported him.

Zhang Yangzi looked around and found that no one was moving, so he had no choice but to go on stage himself and help Gao Zhen up.

Gao Zhen got up and touched the Miekong, his heart aching. The mecha was like a second life for the mecha pilot.

Now that the mecha has been destroyed, Gao Zhen is heartbroken.

Chu Ci and Gao Zhen stepped off the stage, each consuming a fifth-grade healing pill. They sat cross-legged and meditated to neutralize the medicinal effects, slowly recovering from their injuries.

At this point, only Gu Yue and Xu Lizhi from Shrek Academy had not yet played, while all members of the Temple of War had played.

Xu Lizhi, being a food-type Soul Master, does not need to participate. As for Gu Yue, Bai Tianzhe volunteered to be her opponent.
