Underwater, a slight trembling sound continued to ring. Without the protection of the high-energy compressed array soul tool, the range of the explosion would definitely be beyond imagination. Even the onlookers on the shore stands couldn't help but flee in all directions.
"Are you crazy? Our two soul engineer legions have lost their linked protection. How much of a loss will this cause the empire!" Xu Tianran's face was ashen as he roared at Gou Luanshi.
Gou Luanshi was silent, only silently restarting the linked protection of this tall building. In his view, no matter what price had to be paid, Huo Yuhao must be buried here.
As long as Huo Yuhao was dead, he would no longer have any obstacles on this continent.
At that time, he would board the Tang family's great ship and become a god.
Seeing that he was no longer speaking, a strange emotion gradually rose in Xu Tianran's heart. It seemed that the person before him would one day no longer be under his control.
However, before they could think too much, a red light shone brightly on the surging water surface. The waves rising in the center of the river suddenly exploded, but only a slight sound was produced.
Pfft...
It sounded like someone with an upset stomach was using all their strength to discharge a cloud of turbid gas.
Huo Yuhao smiled. His companions in the otherworldly space also couldn't help but laugh.
"What's going on? What on earth happened? Someone tell me what happened?"
Gou Luanshi seemed to have lost his mind. He staggered to the edge of the tall building and grabbed the railing, his eyes filled with nothing but disbelief.
He had requested Xu Tianran to reallocate a large number of the empire's level-nine stationary soul cannon shells from the war reserves and had arranged them at the bottom of the river early on. In addition, Rising Sun City had always been heavily guarded, and even the underwater was full of detection soul tools. It was simply impossible for anyone to tamper with these stationary soul cannon shells!
At this moment, Huo Yuhao finally moved Xie Huanyue and the others out of the otherworldly space. The group all looked playfully at the disheartened Gou Luanshi on the tall building.
Everything was, naturally, the work of Huo Yuhao and his companions.
After Xie Huanyue and the others had arrived at Rising Sun City, Huo Yuhao had quietly dived underwater using the ability of his otherworldly space to detect the enemy's layout.
All the level-nine stationary soul cannon shells at the bottom of the river had been swapped out by Huo Yuhao's companions, replaced with low-level stationary soul cannon shells without anyone knowing.
The creation of this miracle was due to the several great divine skills Huo Yuhao possessed from the original Huo Gua: Spiritual Detection, Spiritual Sharing, and Spiritual Disguise, plus the Kamui Hiraishaka, which had been infallible so far.
Huo Yuhao indeed did not understand soul tools, nor was he a soul engineer. But his companions had not wasted their time in the Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy for the past three years!
The disassembly and replacement of the stationary soul cannon shells at the bottom of the river were completed by Wu Feng, Zimu, and Jing Ziyan working together. A level-nine stationary soul cannon shell was not a level-nine soul tool. As long as Huo Yuhao used the Blade of Life's Hope to cut off the detonation connection, they could smoothly complete this operation.
As for the high-energy compressed array soul tool protective shield, it was no different from paper in front of the Blade of Life's Hope.
The explosive power of a hundred level-nine stationary soul cannon shells compared to a hundred level-three or four stationary soul cannon shells was truly a world of difference. The latter could even only make the surface of this moat let out a fart bubble.
"You... it was you..." Gou Luanshi almost couldn't catch his breath. He trembled as he stretched out his hand and pointed at Huo Yuhao's companions.
No wonder, no wonder Huo Yuhao and most of his companions had not shown up. No wonder Huo Yuhao had still dared to barge in, knowing full well that he had an ambush.
He suddenly felt that he knew too little about Huo Yuhao's abilities, to the point that he had made such a low-level mistake.
One had to know that what Huo Yuhao had mostly shown to the world were those spiritual control, attack, and Ultimate Wood methods. The people who had seen his spatial abilities were all his closest companions or his women.
And among them, the most unsolvable ability was precisely the third soul skill of his Evil Eye martial soul, Kamui Hiraishaka. An ability to freely travel through otherworldly space was truly too exaggerated.
Therefore, when the Rakshasa God Bibi Dong was designing this soul ring for him back then, she even had to use a spatial-attribute soul bone of over ten thousand years as a medium to connect his martial soul with the constructed otherworldly space.
Due to the disappearance of the linked soul tool protective shield, there were no more obstacles in front of Niu Tian and Titan. The two exchanged a glance, their figures moved violently, and they headed towards Huo Yuhao's companions respectively.
Back then, Huo Yuhao had been able to defeat their joint attack with Tang Hao and his wife, largely due to the assistance of the Star Dou fierce beasts.
This time, they would definitely tear Huo Yuhao to shreds!
Huo Yuhao didn't even glance at the two of them and flew towards the city tower where Gou Luanshi and Xu Tianran were.
"Arrogant!"
Niu Tian and Titan were furious. The Titan's Heavenly Cannon and the Sky Blue Desolate Divine Claw, the two great ultimate skills, were brazenly launched.
However, what greeted them was a seven-colored dragon claw that had crossed space.
"Dragon God's Claw? Di Tian, it's you again?"
Titan's expression changed slightly. In front of them, the space shattered with a boom, and several figures with fierce auras tore through the air and arrived.
The person in the lead was dressed in a black robe, with a wisp of golden hair falling on his forehead. It was shockingly the current number one expert on the Douluo continent, the Beast God Di Tian!
Beside him, the Emerald Swan Bi Ji, the Abyssal Demon Dragon Demon Empress, and the Darkgolden Terrorclaw Bear Bear Lord stood side by side.
"The grudges of the soul beast lineage will be settled by our soul beast lineage. This seat would like to see how much you two, who occupied the Lake of Life while I was in seclusion ten thousand years ago, have improved in the Divine Realm!"
As Di Tian's words fell, the aura of the number one fierce beast was revealed without a doubt. His black robe moved without any wind, and the top of the sky immediately became overcast with dark clouds, appearing extremely oppressive.
"Big gorilla, I haven't settled the score with you last time, old bear!" The Bear Lord's aura instantly locked onto Titan, and he grinned.
Niu Tian and Titan showed a worried look. One had to know, ten thousand years ago, the two of them were only soul beasts at the hundred-thousand-year level, and there was still a considerable gap from these fierce beasts who had surpassed the two-hundred-thousand-year mark. The main reason why they were able to contend with Di Tian and the other beasts was largely due to their powerful physical bodies, which were enhanced by immortal energy, and the divinity bestowed upon them by the Sea God.
After the battle in Star Dou, the God of Destruction had reclaimed their divinity, and only then were the two of them allowed to descend to the mortal realm to protect Tang Wutong and the Clear Sky Clan.
"Don't be cowards. Didn't you two disown the Lord before?" The Demon Empress said with a cold smile, a look of disdain in her beautiful eyes.
"If you want to fight, then fight!" The Titan Giant Ape was never a good-tempered master. Even without his divinity, Di Tian and these others wouldn't necessarily be able to do anything to them.
"As you wish." Di Tian directly attacked with the Dragon God's Claw, meeting Niu Tian's Sky Blue Desolate Divine Claw.
Boom—
A quasi-god level collision immediately unfolded in the high sky. The visual impact of that, for the ordinary soul masters below, was a rare spectacle that was hard to come by in a thousand years.
"Protect His Highness!"
Seeing Huo Yuhao flying towards him, Gou Luanshi quickly called out to the Class 9 soul engineers present to activate their soul power and open the linked soul tool shield.
Pfft, pfft...
How could Huo Yuhao give him any chance? A Half-Step God King realm Spiritual Shock directly sent those few Class 9 soul engineers to their deaths.
The remaining two quasi-gods, Mu En and Ye Xishui, were also intercepted by the Demon Empress and Bi Ji. They had all been affected by Condemnation, Paradise Lost and were far from their peak state.
"Alright, your little tricks are useless. It's time to return Xiaotao to me." Huo Yuhao looked down on Gou Luanshi from a high position, as if he were sizing up a dead person.
As he spoke, he turned his gaze to Ma Xiaotao in her wedding robe not far away. The latter was also looking at him with a complicated expression.
"Huo Yuhao, this is the Shrek that gave birth to me and raised me. Go, don't worry about me anymore." Ma Xiaotao closed her beautiful eyes as if accepting her fate. Huo Yuhao could see that she had the will to die.
As a girl who had been indoctrinated with the Shrek spirit and glory since she was a child, no matter what the academy did to her, she should accept it. All that was required was to give up her worthless life.
Even if the one who had come to save her was her lover, with whom she had been intimate.
Huo Yuhao had attacked Shrek Academy twice and had repeatedly attacked her teachers. This meant he had completely stood on the opposite side of her.
Therefore, this time, she decided to die to show her loyalty.
Huo Yuhao said nothing to her, but turned to the Gou Luanshi in front of him. He had already locked onto this guy with his spiritual power, but he didn't want this guy to die so easily.
If he had simply killed this guy, he could have used his spiritual power to instantly kill him back when he had just returned to Shrek from the Extreme North and learned of his identity.
Seeing that there was no way out, a dejected look finally appeared on Gou Luanshi's face.
"Huo Yǔhào, there's a limit to what humans can do." Gou Luanshi suddenly spoke, his eyes immediately dimming. "What I've learned from my two short lives is that the more humans play with schemes, the more likely they are to fail due to unexpected events. Therefore, one must become an existence that surpasses humanity."
"What do you mean? What are you trying to say?" Huo Yuhao frowned slightly.
"I reject my humanity, Huo Yuhao!" Gou Luanshi suddenly laughed wildly and quickly took out a mask from his bosom, sticking it on his face.
