Douluo Continent: Starting with a Heavenly Fire Judgment

Chapter 416 The Sun and Moon Lost Their Light

Just then, Ji Lin and Gu Yuena, who were on the balcony of the Mingyue Hotel villa, seemed to sense something and suddenly turned around to look in a certain direction. Chi Yuan's figure also appeared on the balcony in an instant, and his gaze also turned towards the western district of Mingdu.

What happened? What's going on?

Wang Qiu'er, Xiao Xiao, and the others looked at the three people with solemn expressions with some doubt.

Immediately afterwards, everyone clearly felt the ground beneath their feet begin to tremble slightly.

Elder Xuan and Zhang Lexuan, who were outside the city, also turned around sharply to look at the western district. The direction from which the tremor came was west, which was also the direction from which Zhang Lexuan and the others sent the signal, and the direction from which they came.

Elder Xuan and Zhang Lexuan rose from the ground at the same time, transforming into streaks of silver and yellow light, instantly ascending into the sky.

The Holy Spirit Cult leader beside Xu Tianran, as well as the other Title Douluos of Mingdu, all flew up to a height of a thousand meters and looked towards the West District.

Thousands of meters in the air, Zhang Lexuan's pupils instantly contracted to the size of pinpoints as she witnessed a scene she would never forget.

In the western district of Mingdu, suddenly, without warning, large areas of buildings sank, and countless stones and dust rose up from the sunken areas.

Immediately afterwards, the earth roared in anger, and the sunken ground surged up at ten times, even a hundred times, speed, and a huge mushroom cloud rose up instantly with unparalleled explosive force.

Even from a height of a thousand meters, all the titled Douluo could feel the extremely terrifying scene.

"Rumble, rumble, rumble rumble rumble rumble..."

The earth groaned, the earth roared, everything trembled. In an instant, the western district of Mingdu seemed to have become a place where hell descended. The unparalleled and terrifying explosive force caused the shockwave to sweep across more than a third of the area of ​​this number one city on the continent in an instant. The powerful shockwave almost swept across the entire city.

Countless stones and rocks flew up, countless fragments rose, and countless muds flew, along with the scorching, frenzied, and terrifying shockwave.

This is something that no known level 9 fixed-position soul-guided shell can achieve. At the moment of the explosion, the entire western district of Mingdu was shaking, trembling, and collapsing in terror.

Meanwhile, in Mingdu, more than ten million spectators from all over the country who came to participate in the competition and watch the battle were gathered in the western suburbs to wait for the results of the Mingdu Soul Master Elite Competition. The explosion in the western district, that terrifying shockwave, how many lives will it take away...!

In the history of Douluo Continent, on this day, the sun and moon lost their light, and the world changed color!

This day is destined to be recorded in history.

Zhang Lexuan's face was ashen. She had a premonition that this explosion was related to them. It was an intuition. She was extremely confused. She didn't know how things had turned out this way. It was completely beyond her expectations.

Xuanzi and Zhang Lexuan descended from the sky. Xuanzi stared at Zhang Lexuan, Bei Bei, Xu Sanshi, Jiang Nannan, He Caitou, and Huo Yuhao, his gaze sweeping over their faces one by one. These were the people who had gone to the West District to steal soul tools. Bei Bei, Xu Sanshi, and Jiang Nannan were Soul Emperors, while He Caitou and Huo Yuhao were Soul Masters. They were brought along to identify the soul tools so that they could take away the more valuable ones. After all, they could only take a portion; they couldn't possibly empty the entire soul tool warehouse of the Sun Moon Empire—how many storage soul tools would that require!

"Did you do this?" Elder Xuan's deep voice rang in their ears.

Bei Bei and Jiang Nannan were pale, while Xu Sanshi turned his gaze to He Caitou. Huo Yuhao looked at He Caitou in a panic, his expression full of confusion and fear.

He Caitou's dark face was now filled with confusion and helplessness. He didn't know why he was like this, but he had a premonition that the explosion in the West District might really be related to him.

"The people are suffering terribly! The people are suffering terribly!" Old Xuan's aged voice was filled with grief and shock. "Never tell anyone about this."

It concerns you, you know!

"Yes." Beibei and the others nodded in unison. They knew the seriousness of the matter. Although it was an unintentional mistake, they had indeed caused a terrifying explosion that swept through the entire Mingdu. If it were to be revealed that Shrek Academy was responsible, Shrek's eternal glory would be over, and they would be despised by the entire continent.

He understood the deep sorrow in Elder Xuan's voice. How many lives would be lost in such a massive explosion! How many lives would be lost!

The lives of millions are a burden no one can bear, and immense pain and guilt spread through their hearts.

This is a true tragedy, and it just so happens to be in the western part of Mingdu. Tonight, too many spectators have gathered in the western suburbs to watch the Mingdu Soul Master Elite Competition. The casualty figures in Mingdu will surely be in the millions.

And Shrek Academy, their six-person team tonight, were the instigators and accomplices, although Zhang Lexuan, Bei Bei, and Jiang Nannan were unaware of it.

He Caitou looked dazed, like a walking corpse.

At this moment, the final of the All-Continent Youth Advanced Soul Master Elite Tournament has become meaningless, and tomorrow's final can no longer be held. This explosion, which will be known in later generations as the Sun and Moon Darkness Destruction Day, completely slowed down the Sun Moon Empire's invasion of the original Douluo Continent, but it also almost caused Shrek Academy to be scorned by the entire continent.

Dai Huabin and the others were equally trembling. They hadn't participated in the sandstorm, but they too were pale as they watched the dust rising in the distance and felt the earth shaking. They had no idea what to do.

Zhou Sichen and Lan Susu looked at He Caitou and the others with fear in their eyes. They never expected that they would do such a thing, which completely shattered their worldview.

Suddenly, the earth cracked open, and one after another, strangely shaped, enormous soul tools emerged from the ground. When the powerful figures of the Star Luo Empire and the Heavenly Soul Empire, led by the original Douluo Du Busi, stared in disbelief at the huge mushroom cloud rising in the direction of the western city of Mingdu, they were equally stunned.

They couldn't even imagine what had happened.

No one knows what happened.

"Who...who did this?" Mu Xue stared blankly at the rising mushroom cloud, feeling the violent tremors that still lingered on the ground dozens of miles away. For a moment, her beautiful eyes were filled with indescribable fear.

Vina was equally stunned, muttering to herself, "What... what on earth exploded? How could it cause such a scene? How many people will die?!"

Even Poison Undying was dumbfounded. "Who did this? I'm impressed! Compared to this person, what we did was child's play!"

Du Busi looked at Xuanzi beside him and asked suspiciously, "Xuanzi, did you do this?"

Within Mingdu, the Sun Moon Empire's greatest enemies are only these three forces: the Star Luo Empire and the Heavenly Soul Empire, who had left themselves a backup plan. They escaped from Mingdu using the earth-drilling soul tool they had researched, intending to use it to escape the encirclement. They came here to bring Shrek Academy members with them, but they never expected to witness such a magnificent and awe-inspiring scene, yet filled with an aura of destruction.

Du Busi knew very well that this matter was neither the work of their main sect, nor that of the Star Luo Empire. The only possible culprit was Shrek Academy.

Of the Sun Moon Empire's imperial palace, less than one-tenth of the solid building was destroyed by the earthquake. After all, the imperial palace was located in the center of Mingdu and was not within the area of ​​the one-third that was completely destroyed.

Orange carried the pale-faced Xu Tianran out of a pile of rubble. They stared in disbelief at the huge mushroom cloud in the distance and at the devastation around them.

But at that very moment, figures gathered in the air, accompanied by bursts of wild laughter. The Holy Spirit Cult leader had somehow arrived high in the sky, and the Holy Spirit Cult's evil spirit masters, carrying their distinctive sinister aura, all ascended into the air.

Destruction is a huge disaster for ordinary people, but for them, it is the opportunity they have been dreaming of. This is a carnival for evil spirit masters.

"What immense resentment and spiritual power! Hahahaha!"

On the top floor of the Mingyue Hotel, Ji Lin stared dumbfounded at the mushroom cloud rising in the west, his mind reeling and completely stunned.

The Mingyue Hotel, located in the eastern part of the Mingdu Center, was not affected by the explosion, but it was still hit by the shockwave that brought flying sand and stones. Although the impact was small, it still left the Mingyue Hotel in a mess.

Gu Yuena's lips twitched. Even she, who didn't value human life, felt a chill run down her spine. She turned to Ji Lin and sighed, "When it comes to ruthlessness, you humans are still the better ones!"

Ji Lin remained silent. He felt that things had spiraled out of his control. Why had things turned out this way? He had only suggested that Shrek Academy take advantage of the chaos and steal some soul tools, and the soul tool warehouse Shrek found this time wasn't the one near Mingde Hall. Why did it still cause such an explosion?

"We can't stay in Mingdu any longer, we need to leave immediately."

The development of events has exceeded Ji Lin's expectations. This massive explosion in Mingdu will inevitably lead to an inconclusive end to this competition. The already tense relationship between the three kingdoms of Douluo Continent and the Sun Moon Empire will be instantly ignited by this explosion.

Originally, public opinion in the Sun Moon Empire might not have been very supportive of the war, but after this incident, the direction of public opinion is predictable.

And it's impossible for them, the Zizai Sect, to stay and participate in tomorrow's finals; that would be suicidal. Even with Chi Yuan there, it wouldn't be easy for them to escape unscathed from the enraged Sun Moon Empire.

Taking advantage of the current chaos in Mingdu is the only chance to leave safely.

Without delay, Nan Qiuqiu immediately used her communication soul tool to notify the Earth Dragon Gate, who were still waiting for them. After agreeing on a meeting point, she packed her bags and prepared to run away.
