Douluo Continent, Huo Yuhao who returned from Sekiro

Chapter 732 Shot in a Row (10,000 words per day)

When they looked down, even powerful figures like Elder Xuan and Poison Undying couldn't help but gasp in shock.

The Ming Dynasty palace below appears to have been transformed into a metal forest.

Thick, massive cannon barrels emerged from the building, their muzzles already flashing with intense light. They were clearly charging up.

Among these giant cannons, even the smaller ones have a caliber of over a foot. Elder Xuan saw the largest cannon, whose muzzle was over two meters in diameter.

Even if he knew nothing about soul tools, he could tell that these were at least level eight or higher! And there might even be some fixed soul tools among them.

"Where are the people from the Douling Empire?"

Both Elder Xuan and Poisonous Immortal's expressions changed, with Poisonous Immortal shouting out in a sharp voice.

At this point, Elder Xuan knew exactly what to do. He immediately shouted, "Retreat!"

The powerful figures from Shrek Academy had already been informed by Elder Xuan. Upon hearing his call, they immediately feigned an attack, disengaged from the battle, and quickly retreated.

The group of titled Douluo streaked through the air like shooting stars, disappearing into the distant horizon.

Zhongli Wu raised his hand, signaling his subordinates to stop chasing.

He glanced down at the dense array of cannon muzzles below and couldn't help but feel a slight chill run down his spine.

The Sun and Moon Empire has never been an entity that can be easily manipulated.

The massive air defense array, like a sleeping behemoth suddenly awakened, stood above the palace, ready to meet the impending challenge.

These air defense arrays consist of hundreds or even thousands of high-precision, high-power long-range soul guides.

They were arranged in neat rows, like a steel forest, with every inch of space exuding a chilling murderous aura.

When the command was given, the muzzles of each machine gun instantly lit up with a dazzling light, a sign that energy was about to be unleashed.

Immediately following, accompanied by a deafening roar, the long-range soul guides in the air defense array seemed to receive a command at the same time.

They all spewed out blazing tongues of fire. These tongues of fire were not ordinary flames, but rather the tail flames of high-energy soul force turbulence, lasers, or other powerful long-range soul tools.

They traced brilliant trails in the air, like a meteor shower streaking across the sky.

Flames intertwined to form a net, covering the entire air defense area and creating an impenetrable defensive line.

They precisely locked onto their targets, and whether it was an incoming soul skill, a hostile soul tool, or any threat attempting to intrude upon the palace, they were all mercilessly torn apart and destroyed in that instant.

The air was filled with the crackling sounds of high temperatures and colliding energy, as well as the roars of matter being instantly vaporized. The entire scene resembled an apocalyptic battlefield, loudly proclaiming the prestige of the Sun Moon Empire's soul tools to the world.

Under such attacks, ordinary titled Douluo become mere filler monsters; no matter how many are attacked, they will all die!

"They're here, Elder Xuan!"

Within the Douling Empire, an eighth-rank Soul Douluo suddenly flicked his wrist, sending a terrifying level-nine fixed-position soul-guided cannonball flying.

"Good timing!"

Elder Xuan felt the metallic storm carrying a terrifying aura of destruction behind him, and felt as if he were being pricked by thorns.

With a flick of his wrist, the string of divine orbs forged from deep-sea silver hanging from his waist resembled twelve sea-stabilizing celestial beads, tightly enveloping the level-nine fixed-position soul-guided cannonball.

Without the restraint of Elder Xuan's terrifying soul power, the God-Sealing Spheres instantly shattered, revealing the artificial soul cores hidden inside.

The God-Sealing Sphere that Huo Yuhao made with deep-sea sunken silver does indeed have the ability to restrain the soul core, but the metal properties alone are not enough; it also requires the soul power of a powerful soul master to restrain it.

Even for a Soul Douluo like Senior Sister, whose combat power is close to that of a Title Douluo, restraining the soul cores within the three God Sealing Orbs for only the time it takes for an incense stick to burn also consumed a massive amount of soul power within her body.

As a result, he only managed to unleash one 100,000-year soul skill, and his soul power was almost completely drained.

For a level 98 Super Douluo like Elder Xuan, the consumption was still within an acceptable range. He could even restrain a string of twelve God-Sealing Orbs by himself, and he could also cooperate with Du Busi and Long Xiaoyao to fight back and forth.

Twelve artificial soul cores flew out, instantly unleashing terrifying destructive power. Immediately afterwards, this level nine fixed-position soul-guided cannon shell, whose detonation method was completely unknown to the Douling Empire, was also forcibly detonated by this terrifying explosive force!

Yes, this is precisely why the Douling Empire was willing to throw out this level-nine fixed-position soul-guided cannonball; they had no idea how to detonate it.

If it's not dismantled, I don't know how to detonate it.

If it's dismantled, the protective measures might be triggered, causing it to explode on the spot.

Therefore, the Douling Empire was so generous in providing this cannonball for the assassination.

Ever since the people of the Sun Moon Empire learned that the Level 9 Soul Guidance Cannonball was lost, they've been pressing the switch so many times that it's practically smoking. They've been doing it every holiday for decades.

Who knew the Douling Empire was so good at hiding things, managing to keep this thing hidden for over a hundred years?

Twelve out-of-control soul cores enveloped the fixed-position soul-guided cannonball, instantly detonating and awakening the frenzied power within the level-nine fixed-position soul-guided cannonball.

Above the sky, a flash of light more dazzling than the sun illuminated the entire capital. Many people subconsciously looked up at the sky and were momentarily blinded by the blinding flash.

Despite the quiet of the night, the sky seemed to have risen as if a new sun had appeared, scorching the earth and illuminating the entire capital as if it were daytime.

However, this moment of tranquility was short-lived. An almost indescribable surge of violent soul power erupted from the fixed-mount cannonball, shooting straight into the sky.

An indescribable energy suddenly erupted from the center of the explosion.

An invisible shockwave spread in all directions at supersonic speeds, leaving the space cracking like fragile glass wherever it passed.

Immediately afterwards, a cloud of fire rose up, which was a continuously spreading cloud of smoke.

These clouds of smoke are not ordinary smoke, but are composed of countless substances vaporized by high temperatures, which form huge mushroom clouds in the air.

The mushroom cloud continued to rise, eventually connecting with the cloud layer and turning the entire sky into a hazy gray.

After the flashes of light and fireballs rose up, the slower-moving sound waves gradually arrived. An indescribable sound wave, centered on the explosion point, spread wildly in all directions like a tangible shockwave.

The sound waves not only tore through the air, but also seemed to directly impact the depths of every living being's soul, instilling fear and even making one's heart tremble with the deafening sound.

At that moment, time seemed to freeze, and all sounds were drowned out by the terrifying sound wave, leaving only a deathly silence, followed by the lingering echo that never faded away.
