Douluo Continent, Huo Yuhao who returned from Sekiro

Chapter 963 Battle Report (6K)

After Huo Yuhao woke up from the Spirit Pagoda, someone immediately sent him a battle report.

It concerns the movements of the Sun and Moon Army.

Over the past three months, Orange has made significant strides, eventually conquering the rest of the Heavenly Soul Empire's territory except for Heavenly Dou City. Only Poison Undying, who was stationed at the pinnacle of power, remained isolated and helpless amidst the encirclement of the Sun and Moon Army in Heavenly Dou City.

The elders of Shrek Academy could only do so much. Helping Poison Undying defend the isolated city of Tian Dou was already the limit. But what use was Tian Dou City when it was just an isolated city?

Emperor Tianhun was also stubborn. He believed that the emperor should guard the country's gates and that a monarch should die for his country. He insisted on fighting to the death and refusing to retreat from Tiandou City.

Fortunately, with the elders of Shrek Academy and the Undying Poison in the wings, Long Xiaoyao, who had been tricked twice, was now traumatized and no longer intended to take on Heaven Dou City head-on. Instead, he simply surrounded Heaven Dou City.

The staff of the Soul Palace brought the water from the Golden and Silver Lakes of Qiankun Wenqing Valley and used its rich spatial power to create a small teleportation array to transport supplies to Tiandou City, so that at least the people in the city would not starve to death.

In the far north, the Sun and Moon Army seemed to intend to penetrate deeper, but they were immediately caught off guard by Atai and Xiaobai, who had broken through the 300,000-year mark. Their resources, accumulated over several months, were carried away by the soul beasts of the far north.

Long Xiaoyao and Zhongli Wu wanted to get back at him, but considering the disadvantages of fighting in the far north and the fact that the Ice and Snow Emperors had not yet shown their faces, they ultimately backed down.

The last of the Three Kings of the Far North broke through the 300,000-year mark, accompanied by another 300,000-year-old ferocious beast. Tens of thousands of ten-thousand-year-old soul beasts launched a beast tide. Of course, the scale was not as large as the beast tide in the Star Dou Forest, but the beasts that came were all elites, and the attack was launched without any warning.

What is Dragon City's defensive level? What is Shrek City's defensive level?

The city wall of Longcheng was only a dozen meters high. In Atai's eyes, it was like a lump of dirt. He could just kick it down with his big feet. What kind of defense was that?

Hundreds of Titan Snow Demons, each over seventy meters tall, charged forward and wrecked the city wall in no time, leaving the Dragon City defenders' soul-guided cannons no chance to be used.

This is why Star Dou Forest lacks natural war machines like Titan Snow Demons.

If the four ferocious beasts escorted the Titan Snow Demon Legion into the vicinity of the city wall, the Titan Snow Demons wouldn't need to do anything else. Their giant hands, several meters long, would sweep back and forth across the city wall a few times, and all the soul-guided cannons on Shrek City Wall would be wiped out.

Even Shrek Academy would have a terrible headache facing the Titan Snow Demon Legion.

It's an undeniable fact that the Far North has cooperated with Shrek Academy. After all, the beast tide from the Far North came and went quickly, giving the reinforcements near Dragon City no chance to return and defend. They were targeting that window of opportunity.

The rare metals that the Orange Mine had accumulated over several months, as well as the grain reserves of Dragon City, were all swept away by the army of soul beasts. Immediately afterwards, the soul beasts near the Frozen Forest retreated to the far north, showing that if they had the ability, they should come to the far north to take revenge.

When Orange learned that her rare metals had been stolen by a soul beast from the far north, she was so angry she almost fainted, but there was nothing she could do.

At this time, the Sun Moon Empire's intelligence indicated that there were at least four ferocious beasts in the far north, with the lowest cultivation level being 300,000 years. Even if Long Xiaoyao and Ye Xishui joined forces, they might not be able to gain any advantage.

The geographical environment of the far north greatly amplifies the power of ice-type soul beasts and severely weakens non-ultimate ice soul masters, making it easy to fight against opponents of higher levels.

With this shift in power, even the former Emperor Tian was unwilling to fight the Snow Emperor, who had not yet broken through to 700,000 years old, in the far north, demonstrating the strength of the far north.

With resources depleted, the mining equipment was taken away by the Titan Snow Demons and sent directly to the mining area in the Star Dou Forest via the teleportation array in the far north. The Sun Moon Empire could only swallow this bitter pill and vent its anger by firing a few more shots at the cities of the Dou Ling Empire.

The Star Luo Empire, being the most difficult of the three great empires to conquer, is currently in a relatively good state, as the Sun Moon Empire's attention is not focused on it.

The treacherous plan Huo Yuhao left behind more than three months ago finally took effect. The entire operating system was destroyed, including the documents containing the identity information of local people, records of various materials, and documents recording the local land conditions in the Household Registration Office and Archives Office. Without these, the cities that the Sun Moon Empire had taken over were basically all paralyzed.

Even today, these paralyzed cities continue to bleed the vast Sun Moon Empire to a great extent. Although these wounds are insignificant to a giant like the Sun Moon Empire in the short term, after three months, the giant finally could not bear it any longer.

They no longer have enough manpower to maintain the stability of the cities they conquer; they must pause and thoroughly digest the legacy of the Heavenly Soul Empire.

This is necessary, and it is something the Sun and Moon Empire resists.

The Body Sect was severely damaged, and Shrek City had just survived the beast tide and was focused on post-war reconstruction. It would be a real pity to let them stop at such a golden opportunity.

The longer the time frame, the greater the chance of something going wrong.

Once Shrek recovers, things will be difficult for them.

Shrek Academy's ability to withstand the beast tide in Star Dou Forest, block Di Tian, ​​and kill Xiong Jun made the Sun Moon Empire uneasy.

Especially after the beast tide was launched in the far north and Dragon City fell in the short time it takes for an incense stick to burn, Shrek Academy, which withstood the beast tide for two days and nights, raised the Sun Moon Empire's unease to its peak.

The only good news for the Sun Moon Empire might be that their spies have confirmed that the four level-nine fixed-position soul-guided cannon shells that Shrek Academy detonated were the same four that unlucky Jing Hongchen had been tricked into giving away by Elder Mu, and they had all been used against the beast tide.

This gave them a slight sense of relief.

Having ascertained the battle situation during his three-month seclusion, Huo Yuhao stood up and took out a wisp of soul—the same wisp of soul that the Mother of All Spirits had given him last time.

This soul has lost its consciousness; what remains is merely a shell of a soul. Simply put, it's like a fragment of Tang Wutong's soul, with all its vitality and memories shattered. It's roughly similar in nature to this soul fragment.

Most of the power within this soul has already dissipated. Huo Yuhao could sense with certainty that this soul had once harbored dark attribute power, but that power had completely vanished over time.

In addition, many other powers besides the dark attribute power were lost from this soul, leaving only two powers remaining within it.
