What to do?
However, Kong Deming did not have much time to think. Once Huo Yuhao's Half-Step God King realm spiritual power erupted, almost no one present could resist it.
Kong Deming was greatly alarmed. He subconsciously controlled his Silver Moon Divine Light Shield to expand outwards, wanting to forcefully withstand Huo Yuhao's spiritual power.
The greatest mystery of the Silver Moon Divine Light Shield was its use of spatial power. No matter how powerful the attack it encountered, it could divert it into space.
But Huo Yuhao had actually suppressed all the surrounding space, leaving the Silver Moon Divine Light Shield nowhere to hide. Then, with his incomparably powerful spiritual power, he forcefully tried to tear this Silver Moon Divine Light Shield apart.
Now, he could only rely on the high-energy compressed array soul tool to counter Huo Yuhao's spiritual power.
This high-energy compressed array soul tool could be infinitely enhanced. Of course, if it was enhanced to a certain level, even the earth would not be able to withstand its power, and perhaps it could destroy the entire world.
The infinite enhancement of soul tools existed in theory, but might not be achievable in reality. However, it was more than enough to deal with a single soul master.
Streaks of figures floated up from within the imperial palace. The pitch-black humanoid soul tools released an oppressive pressure, emanating strong soul power fluctuations.
The Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineer Legion! The thumb of the Sun Moon Empire's Hands of the Nation's Protector, the true power of the Emperor, had appeared!
Not only that, but apart from them, a large number of soul engineers in the periphery also rose into the air. The Imperial Dragon Soul Engineer Legion had also arrived. At this moment, at the edge of this venue, more than a thousand high-level soul engineers had gathered. In the inner circle, Ye Xishui floated in mid-air, staring intently at Huo Yuhao.
Ye Xishui looked at him coldly and said, "Holy Son, I always knew that one day you would fall into our arrangement. I just didn't expect this day to come so quickly."
The guests present all looked at Ye Xishui, who was exuding an evil aura, with astonished expressions. What was this situation? Infighting in the Holy Spirit Cult?
To this, Huo Yuhao's expression remained unchanged. Admittedly, the siege of a soul engineer legion was enough to kill any Ultimate Douluo in the world today, let alone the fact that his true cultivation was merely that of a Soul Emperor. However, the means of spiritual power were far beyond what these ordinary mortals could imagine!
Around him, several beams of light simultaneously bombarded his body. The linked attack had finally arrived.
The linked attack of the Imperial Dragon Soul Engineer Legion was still manageable, just three strong beams of light. The most terrifying was the linked attack launched by the three hundred soul engineers of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineer Legion in the inner circle, who were wearing humanoid soul tools. It was a ray as black as ink. The ray was as thick as a water tank, and wherever it passed, a deep crack was left in the air, and it actually couldn't close.
Huo Yuhao's gaunt body was instantly submerged, without even having time to let out a miserable scream.
Seeing this scene, a look of pleasure couldn't help but appear on Gou Luanshi's face. The grievances of his past and present lives, were they finally coming to an end today?
Kong Deming calmly released multiple level-nine Invincible Shields. On this number one soul engineer, there were at least a hundred self-defense measures. What's more, the Crown Prince's long-premeditated offensive was only aimed at Huo Yuhao. He and His Majesty the old emperor beside him were only affected by the spillover.
However, in the next moment, a sudden change occurred.
No one would have thought that someone would, at this moment, aim their spearhead at His Majesty the old emperor of the Sun Moon Empire.
He Caitou, at some unknown time, had already arrived at a position less than ten meters from the old emperor. When Kong Deming was concentrating all his attention on resisting the attack of the linked soul tools, he launched a sneak attack on His Majesty the old emperor from behind!
"Go to hell, my dear Imperial Uncle!"
At this moment, He Caitou had reverted to Xu He's original appearance. Several level-seven soul tool piercing cannons roared to life beside him. The nursing bottles used for energy storage were almost instantly shattered due to the overloaded power output.
"Save His Majesty—" Kong Deming immediately let out a mournful roar.
However, the other few level-nine soul engineers beside His Majesty the old emperor turned a deaf ear, only opening their soul tool shields on themselves.
The biggest drawback of a piercing cannon was that it could not lock on or track, but its advantage was that its power was extremely terrifying. With the old emperor's cultivation, even an Invincible Shield couldn't block the attack of a piercing cannon. And there was only one way to deal with a piercing cannon, and that was to dodge—to use its inability to lock on to dodge.
But in this situation, how could the dragon-bodied old emperor possibly evade Xu He's long-premeditated sneak attack like a young soul master? The trigger-type Invincible Shield equipped on his body was shattered in a single encounter.
Several streaks of golden light instantly pierced through His Majesty the old emperor's body. He would never have thought that under the plotting of multiple forces, he would die on the spot!
Kong Deming's eyes were splitting as he watched the old emperor's body be sent flying like a broken sack by those rays. This number one soul engineer's mind was in a complete mess.
He finally understood. It turned out that all of the emperor's guardians present, except for himself, had all become the Crown Prince's men.
With the old emperor dead, it meant that Xu Tianran's ascension to the throne was inevitable.
"Old Kong, join me in intercepting this regicide!"
Xu Tianran, wearing a bright yellow humanoid soul tool, floated in mid-air, his body completely enveloped by the golden humanoid soul tool. Beside him were at least ten level-nine soul engineers. Gou Luanshi floated half a step behind him.
His face showed an expression that was hard to tell if it was grief or ecstasy. In the original plan, he had intended to use the aftershocks of Huo Yuhao's counterattack to send the old emperor on his way. He hadn't expected Huo Yuhao to be blasted into dregs without any defense. Coincidentally, a Xu He had popped out to complete this matter in his stead.
Experiencing such great ups and downs, Xu Tianran didn't know what expression to use to show his feelings at this moment. But he soon recognized the guy who had completed the assassination mission: Xu He, who had escaped from the imperial palace massacre back then!
Now, everything was settled. He didn't even want to kill Xu He. Without this guy's assassination, His Majesty the old emperor might not have died.
"Xu Tianran..."
He Caitou's face was filled with the madness of having avenged his great hatred. Without any hesitation, he turned his cannons, determined to give this Crown Prince a taste as well.
But he was, after all, a soul engineer of less than Class 7. To be able to assassinate the old emperor was just a coincidence.
"Caitou!"
"Second Senior Brother!"
Whether it was Bei Bei, or Xu Sanshi and Tang Wutong, they were all frightened by He Caitou's actions. They didn't know why He Caitou wanted to kill the old emperor. He had successfully killed the old emperor, but he himself had fallen into a desperate situation.
And he even wanted to make a move against the Crown Prince!
"Father, Mother, Elder Sister, your hatred, Xu He has avenged you! Hahahaha!" The crazed He Caitou pulled the trigger again. However, what greeted him were the soul tool rays of multiple level-nine soul engineers and Kong Deming.
In this life, He Caitou, Xu He, had not been able to hold on until posterity gave him the title of the Source of Destruction, but it was the only time he had avenged the hatred of the past by himself.
He laughed loudly as he was hit by the joint attack of multiple level-nine soul engineers. Even Xu Sanshi's Xuanming Transposition was too late to save him.
Rumble...
Huo Gua's former senior brother, the former crown prince of the Sun Moon Empire, He Caitou, Xu He, is dead!
Before everyone present could react, a monstrous spiritual pressure descended again.
"Tsk tsk, your Sun Moon Imperial Family is really a mess. For the sake of seizing power, you can even kill your own biological father."
Ye Xishui and Mu En seemed to have sensed something. They both looked up at the high sky, only to see Huo Yuhao standing high in the air, looking down on everything. His body was completely intact, not at all looking like he had been hit by an attack.
"Surprised? It was just a spiritual avatar. Look how happy you all were."
"Huo Yuhao, it turns out your target was His Majesty the old emperor. You used yourself as bait and colluded with the imperial traitors to assassinate His Majesty!" Gou Luanshi took a step forward and accused him righteously.
Hearing this familiar slanderous operation, Huo Yuhao was stunned for a moment, then was amused.
"As expected of you, you propaganda dog! Looking at the entire Douluo, I'm afraid there is no one else who is as good at creating hype as you." Huo Yuhao's eyes narrowed, staring at the Gou Luanshi below. "After all, the person is dead. Whatever you say, goes."
