Douluo Continent: Starting with a Heavenly Fire Judgment

Chapter 466 The Light of Death

Watching Duke Baihu and Dai Yueheng leave the tent, he sighed for a long time and said, "Xiao Lin, this situation is like a dead end for us. Do you have any way to break this deadlock?"

Ji Lin nodded and said, "Don't worry, Sister Jiu Jiu, we can still stall for time."

"What do you want to do?"

A cold glint flashed in Ji Lin's eyes, and he said in an icy voice, "Originally, I didn't want to take the initiative to attack. Maintaining this stalemate would have been best, as it would have allowed us to sit back and watch the tigers fight, and also provided an excuse to preserve the vitality and strength of the Star Luo Empire. But the Sun Moon Empire has become too strong, and we must suppress it."

"You mean... a full-scale attack?"

Xu Jiujiu was shocked; she had guessed Ji Lin's plan.

Ji Lin nodded and said, "That's right, we should launch a strong attack, break through the Sun Moon Empire's defenses in the Mingdou Mountains, and charge straight into the Sun Moon Empire. Then we won't have to worry about their army not returning to reinforce. At that time, the remnants of the Douling Empire and the Tianhun Empire will have a chance to catch their breath, which will buy us more time."

Xu Jiujiu said worriedly, "But there is that super soul tool in the Mingdou Mountains. Even if we go all out and have a chance to break through, the losses will be huge. Even if we break through, we probably won't have enough power to threaten the Sun Moon Empire."

Ji Lin smiled and said, "That soul tool can be handled by Teacher Chi Yuan. According to the news from the Heavenly Soul Empire, the Sun Moon Empire has deployed seven soul master regiments there, plus the power of the Holy Spirit Cult, which is why they were able to conquer Heaven Dou City so easily. The Sun Moon Empire has ten soul master regiments, and they will definitely leave the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Regiment to guard Mingdu. In this way, there will be no more than three soul master regiments stationed on the Ming Dou Mountains. Although three soul master regiments, plus a large number of soul tools, can indeed stop us by relying on the terrain, that is only if Teacher Chi Yuan and I do not help."

For the next two days, the Northwest Army Group of the Star Luo Empire remained calm. The probing attacks ceased, and no further action was taken against the Mingdou Mountains.

The Star Luo Empire also strictly blocked all news, preventing the news of the fall of the Heavenly Soul Empire's capital from spreading. Both sides seemed to be in a stalemate.

Night fell, the sky was dark, and a thin mist hung in the air, making it seem as if the entire horizon was shrouded in a veil.

The stars and moon were not shining, and the sky was dark; this was undoubtedly a sign of a dark and stormy night for murder.

As a white light illuminated the night sky from the direction of the Mingdou Mountains, the war began once again.

Above the Mingdou Mountains, countless soul-guided rays and soul-guided cannon beams crisscrossed and raged, creating massive energy storms in the sky.

The clash of thousands of Soul Masters and Soul Instructors was a magnificent spectacle, representing the highest level of strength on the entire continent.

The Sun Moon Empire's defenses were formidable, and the Star Luo Empire also mobilized almost all of its main forces: eight Soul Master Legions, eight thousand Soul Master experts, including eight hundred Soul Saint level experts. Eight hundred Soul Saints was a terrifying force. In a one-on-one situation, even if there were three times as many Level 7 Soul Masters within a certain range, they would not be their match.

Once a person's cultivation reaches the Soul Saint level, they are no longer a threat to ordinary soul tools. Only powerful or concentrated attacks can potentially harm them. These soul masters do not attack indiscriminately, but instead launch continuous probing attacks to deplete the Sun Moon Empire's resources while waiting for an opportunity.

This is undoubtedly the best way to fight: constantly wear down the opponent while minimizing their own losses thanks to the powerful strength of their Soul Saints. If this continues, the Soul Masters of the Sun Moon Empire will eventually run out of resources. Moreover, the Soul Masters will also take the time to attack the high-altitude detection Soul Guidance Devices in the sky. Destroying one of these devices will reduce the Sun Moon Empire's visibility by a significant amount.

The battle between the two sides reached a stalemate. In the pitch-black night, a black figure silently rose into the sky and soared into the heavens. Immediately afterward, one figure after another rose into the sky, following in the direction of the first figure.

Ji Lin soared at an altitude of about a thousand meters, his ice wings flapping behind him, moving at an incredible speed.

From where the Northwest Army Group was stationed, it was only a few dozen miles to the Mingdou Mountains. For Ji Lin, flying across this distance would only take a short time.

Looking at the raging battlefield on the front lines, Ji Lin circled around from the side.

Soon, Ji Lin entered the coverage area of ​​the Sun Moon Empire's high-altitude detection soul guide device.

After stabilizing himself in mid-air, Ji Lin looked up at the sky.

Continuing forward would risk being discovered. For him, the most troublesome thing was the wave detection soul tool. That kind of soul tool releases countless sound waves to detect, simulating a bat. It is something that no concealment soul skill can avoid. The wave detection soul tool is undoubtedly the mainstream of future detection soul tools, but its detection range is still relatively short at present.

His spiritual energy was released and spread outwards.

Soon, a look of surprise appeared in Ji Lin's eyes. Good heavens, there are quite a lot of these soul-guided detection devices.

In the sky not far away, there are at least a thousand soul-guided detection devices of all kinds, evenly distributed in the air and extending to both sides of the mountain range, stretching as far as the eye can see. The thousands in front are the most direct impression, and it is hard to say how many there are further away.

Very good, the Sun and Moon Empire is really rich.

A smile appeared on his face, and Ji Lin's ice wings flapped behind him, propelling him into the air and soaring towards the higher sky.

On the main battlefield, the Star Luo Empire's army, led by hundreds of Soul Saints, has gradually forced the Sun Moon Empire's Soul Master defensive positions in the Ming Dou Mountains into a position where they can use ranged attack Soul Skills to strike.

Just then, an aura of world destruction erupted, and a beam of white light shot out without warning from the summit of a peak in the Mingdou Mountains.

This white light, as thick as a water vat, did not appear to have any imposing aura. Its pale color transformed into a beam of light thousands of meters long as it appeared in the air, sweeping out horizontally.

What a ray of light it was! The moment it appeared, time seemed to freeze, and wherever it passed, space was completely cut apart. However, there was no powerful suction force like that that would occur when air is torn apart under normal circumstances. It was as if the space of another world was also completely shocked by it.

It was so fast that no one had time to react.

Just as the white light was about to sweep across the Star Luo Empire's Soul Saint Legion, which was leading the charge, the outcome was obvious: hundreds of Soul Saints would be wiped out. This was the Light of Death, a super Soul Guiding Ray that even Title Douluo could not withstand.

However, neither Xu Jiujiu nor Duke Baihu panicked at this moment. The Sun Moon Empire's use of the Death God's Light again was within their expectations. After all, they had already suffered a loss once, so how could they not understand the threat that the Death God's Light posed to them?

The next moment, a resounding phoenix cry rang out, and a gigantic fire phoenix soared into the sky from the Star Luo Empire's camp. Its wings were ablaze with flames, and each flap of its wings brought forth a wave of heat. The appearance of this fire phoenix immediately attracted everyone's attention. Its figure was noble and majestic, as if it were a creature from ancient mythology that had descended to earth.

The fire phoenix circled in the air, its gaze fixed on the rapidly approaching white light. Then, it spread its wings and unleashed a torrent of blazing flames that cascaded down like a waterfall, meeting the white light head-on. The two powerful forces collided in mid-air, erupting in a dazzling light that enveloped the entire battlefield.

The phoenix's flames collided with the white light, generating violent energy fluctuations. Although the flames were incredibly hot, they began to crack under the impact of the white light. However, the phoenix did not back down; it flapped its wings again, and the flames on its body burned even more fiercely, as if it wanted to ignite the entire world.

At that moment, the red light transformed from the fire phoenix was like a dazzling meteor, carrying endless heat and power, and collided violently with the pale light of death in mid-air.

The two forces converged in the air, unleashing an unprecedentedly intense light.

The red and white lights intertwined and devoured each other, forming a massive energy vortex. This vortex was like a black hole that swallowed everything, drawing in the surrounding light and air, and even drowning out sound, plunging the entire battlefield into an eerie silence.

The phoenix's flames flickered under the impact of the white light, but instead of being extinguished, they burned even brighter. The phoenix's figure appeared and disappeared in the light, and each flap of its wings brought forth waves of heat, as if it wanted to ignite the entire world.

At the same time, the momentum of the white light began to weaken; its power, which had originally been capable of destroying and wiping out everything, gradually melted away under the flames of the fire phoenix. Cracks began to appear in the pillar of white light.

Finally, with a deafening explosion, the red light transformed from the fire phoenix completely shattered the white light. The two forces canceled each other out in the air, transforming into countless tiny points of light that bloomed in the sky like fireworks before slowly falling and dissipating into the air.

When the pale white light was shattered by the flames, it transformed into streams of dark red energy that coiled around the fire phoenix. As the dark red energy appeared, countless images of vengeful spirits appeared as the white pillar of light dissipated, emitting mournful screams in the air as they disintegrated.

The fire phoenix's body blazed with flames, dispelling the dark red aura and vengeful spirits that clung to it. Then it slowly descended, its body gradually shrinking until it transformed into a beam of light and landed beside Xu Jiujiu and Duke White Tiger.
