Douluo Continent: Starting with a Heavenly Fire Judgment

Zhang Lexuan and the others emerged from the undead demiplane one after another, and Ji Lin and his group of nine were all present.

"Xiao Lin, is everything ready?" Zhang Lexuan asked Ji Lin.

Ji Lin nodded and said in a deep voice, "I have already installed the level-nine fixed-position soul-guided cannonball 'Destruction Storm' that I obtained from Nangong Wan. It is a very destructive level-nine fixed-position soul-guided cannonball with great destructive power. Moreover, I detonated it from the inside. That soul master regiment will most likely not be able to escape. This time, many people will die."

Wang Qiu'er looked at Ji Lin and said expressionlessly, "Isn't war all about death? How many people have died in this war? Are you being soft-hearted?"

As a soul beast, Wang Qiu'er had no real sense of how many humans died. Even the lives of soul beasts were not of much concern to her. As long as Di Tian and the others were safe and the soul beasts were not wiped out, she, the auspicious beast, did not care how many soul beasts died. She only had Ji Lin in her eyes, and everything else was illusory.

Therefore, Ji Lin sometimes felt that the world of Douluo Continent was very strange. It seemed that Wang Qiu'er's love-obsessed nature was a special product of Douluo Continent and not rare at all. Among the girls he had met, several were love-obsessed. But if this were in his previous life, love-obsessed people would be very rare, practically as rare as phoenix feathers and unicorn horns.

Faced with Wang Qiu'er's question, Ji Lin shook his head. It wasn't that he was soft-hearted; he had been through the baptism of war and wasn't that sentimental. He was just considering whether the Sun Moon Empire still had the ability to help him overthrow the Heavenly Soul Empire and the Heavenly Spirit Empire after his disturbance. He was afraid that he might overdo it and accidentally severely damage the Sun Moon Empire, which would greatly affect his plans.

However, he quickly realized that it was just an ordinary Soul Master Corps. Although it was very important to the Sun Moon Empire, even if it was completely wiped out, it would not affect the overall situation. The Sun Moon Empire could still crush the original three Douluo Empires.

Zhang Lexuan said in a deep voice, "It's about time, let's prepare to begin."

Zhang Lexuan was already prepared for how many people would die in this operation. However, in her heart, if Ji Lin was the most important, then Shrek Academy was the second most important. For the sake of Shrek Academy, she did not mind getting her hands stained with blood. Besides, the Sun Moon Empire was a foreign country to her, so she did not have any mental burden.

Ji Lin glanced at the timer soul tool he had prepared earlier, nodded to Zhang Lexuan, and said, "This time, we helped the Heavenly Soul Empire destroy a soul master regiment, which will greatly reduce their pressure. It can be considered as a reward for their mobilization of a large army."

As he spoke, Ji Lin simultaneously activated his mental detection and mental sharing, connecting his mental thoughts with everyone present.

The mental detection slowly expanded outwards, encompassing the surrounding areas he had already explored where there were no mental barriers, displaying detailed terrain in everyone's minds, especially with an extra mark on Tang Ya's tent.

"During the battle, you will all follow my command. After rescuing Senior Tang Ya, we will return here to regroup and re-enter the Undead Plane. At that time, we will be safe, and then I will find a way to leave this place."

Zhang Lexuan said in a deep voice, "Okay, from now on, we will all follow your orders."

Ma Xiaotao and the others nodded and followed Ji Lin's instructions without any objection.

Taking a deep breath to calm himself down, Ji Lin focused his mind and began to mobilize the mental energy he had left on the level nine fixed-position soul-guided cannon shell's destructive storm.

The evil soul masters were stationed in the core area of ​​the entire military camp. The Sun Moon Empire's camp, which had hundreds of thousands of people, stretched for hundreds of miles. The second soul master's position was on the edge, and it was the soul master legion closest to the direction of the Heavenly Soul Empire.

Ji Lin narrowed his eyes, golden light flashing within them. He had begun to fully utilize his mental power, even using the million-year-old head soul bone of the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm to amplify his mental power.

Meanwhile, within the Second Soul Guidance Corps' command tent, the spiritual energy atop the Destruction Storm began to stir, slowly penetrating the core of the metal projectile and activating the core magic array within the Level 9 fixed-position soul-guided projectile's Destruction Storm.

An extremely terrifying pressure erupted from the destructive storm in an instant. Immediately afterwards, Ji Lin lost this wisp of spiritual power. His face turned pale. The permanent loss of spiritual power caused a ripple in his sea of ​​consciousness. However, several streams of spiritual power quickly appeared in Ji Lin's mind, helping to calm the fluctuations in his sea of ​​consciousness.

Clearly, it was Xue Di and others, who were closely connected to Ji Lin through thick and thin, who made the move. The disturbance came quickly and went quickly, and it was just a wisp of spiritual energy that was extinguished. For Ji Lin, it was just a minor injury. With the protection of the Gold of Life, he could quickly repair this mental damage.

Meanwhile, the Destruction Storm fixed-position soul-guided cannon shells in the Second Soul Master Corps' command camp shone brightly, emitting a dazzling metallic luster.

Guo Nu walked through the soul tool positions of the Second Soul Master Corps. Tonight's patrol was nearing its end. Although he was already extremely familiar with his own Soul Master Corps, he still couldn't help but feel a strong sense of pride whenever he patrolled his own soul tool positions.

Not only that, almost all the Soul Masters serving in the Sun Moon Empire believed that they were invincible on the continent. In their eyes, the original three kingdoms of Douluo Continent were simply backward countries that would be swallowed up by the Sun Moon Empire sooner or later. Only the Sun Moon Empire could dominate the entire continent and help it develop smoothly.

"This is truly a steel jungle!" Guo Nu took one last look at the soul tool array and nodded in satisfaction. The detection intensity of the various soul tools had been reduced today according to orders from above, thus lessening the burden on the soul masters. Otherwise, with the detection soul tools running at maximum intensity every day, the soul masters in the soul master corps would practically be working in three shifts, with at least half of them needing to inject soul power into the detection soul tools daily to maintain them. While this would be most effective in terms of detection, it would inadvertently weaken the soul master corps' combat power.

Guo Nu's rise to his current position was hard-won, and he deeply cherishes his subordinates, considering them his most valuable resource. In comparison, soul tools are less important than soul masters. While soul tools can be replenished by submitting a report, soul masters are much harder to replace once depleted.

Just as Guo Nu was about to turn around and return to his tent, he suddenly sensed something was wrong; the atmosphere around him seemed to have changed.

As an eight-ring Soul Douluo-level powerhouse, although he wasn't a traditional Soul Master and his personal strength wasn't that great, he still possessed the perception of a Soul Douluo. After noticing something was wrong, he subconsciously looked in the direction he sensed, and what he saw was a strange light flickering within his command tent.

Huh? What's going on? Guo Nu was startled.

From the commander's tent, a strong metallic light seemed to be flashing, and it was constantly intensifying. An invisible aura of killing intent was spreading outward at an alarming speed. However, it seemed that the light was being suppressed by the commander's tent, preventing it from fully erupting.

Something's wrong!

Guo shouted angrily, "All units on alert! Activate the Soul Guidance Linkage Defense! Quickly!"

Guo Nu's reaction was incredibly swift. Although he didn't know what had happened, he was always cautious and prudent, otherwise he wouldn't have gone out of his way to befriend evil soul masters. However, it was already late at night, and apart from the soul masters on duty, most of the other soul masters had already gone to rest. Under these circumstances, very few people could hear his roar.

Guo Nu quickly released his level eight soul guidance shield, and while running towards the command tent, he took out an alarm soul guidance device and pressed it.

Suddenly, a piercing alarm blared throughout the entire soul tool array. Even the surrounding troops stationed there could clearly hear the alarm.

The Soul Master Legion of the Sun Moon Empire is composed of highly trained elites. This Second Soul Master Legion is one of the original ten Soul Master Legions, not a hastily assembled one.

As soon as Guo Nu sounded the alarm, the Soul Guidance Masters on duty reacted immediately. Inside the Soul Guidance Device array, beams of Soul Guidance Device light lit up. The first to activate was the outer linked defense array, a layer of pure white light membrane instantly shining. Immediately afterwards, the second linked defense array inside the Soul Guidance Device array also began to activate.

But at that very moment, the light inside the command tent shone brightest.

Guo Nu had already rushed to the front of the commander's tent. He pulled open the tent flap and, without caring about the cost, instantly activated an eighth-level defensive soul-guided shield.

Although he didn't know what was inside the command tent, he could sense from the intense light and the ever-increasing cold and fierce aura that it was something extraordinary, which is why he was extra careful.

As the tent flap was lifted, an extremely powerful aura rushed out, causing Guo Nu's level eight soul guide shield to tremble violently. Cracks rapidly appeared on the surface of the soul guide shield, and a terrifying, sharp, and fierce aura suddenly burst out from the tent, tearing the entire command tent and everything inside into pieces.

This, this is...!

Guo Nu's eyes widened instantly. He finally saw what the glowing object was. Without the obstruction of the items inside the command tent, the long, thick cannonball with a strong metallic luster was clearly visible in front of him.

A fixed-position soul-guided cannonball! As an eighth-level soul master, Guo Nu was also skilled at making various soul tools. He recognized at a glance what the soul-guided cannonball exuding a fierce aura was!

In that instant, Guo Nu's face turned deathly pale, and his heart was filled with despair. At that moment, he had only one thought in his mind: he was finished, and his Second Soul Master Corps was finished too!
