Douluo Jueshi: I Don't Want to Be an Evil Soul Master

Chapter 322 Gap
"Reconnect the communication devices. Everyone, check your communications and equipment."

High in the sky, a figure covered in fiery red armor descended from the heavens. The broken wings of the flying soul tool on its back slowly retracted, and the fiery red tail flames behind it gradually disappeared.

"Report to the captain, signal is good."

In just a moment, a series of voices rang out from the captain's helmet.

"This is the Fire Phoenix Soul Instructor Team One, requesting to connect to the high-altitude exploration soul tool."

"This is headquarters. Application received. Ready to receive signal."

Thousands of meters above the ground, several massive high-altitude exploration soul guides moved slowly through the clouds. The huge, wing-like devices above continuously absorbed the sunlight and converted it into soul power.

Despite being thousands of meters apart, these soul-guided probes were still able to sense countless fluctuations of soul power on the ground through the thick clouds, and then transmit the information to the members of the Fire Phoenix Soul Master Corps who had stormed into Tianming City.

Although the Sun Moon Empire was slightly inferior to the three great empires in terms of Soul Masters, it was by no means lax in the research of Soul Guidance Devices.

After Lin Xiao watched the Fire Phoenix Soul Master Corps' training session, he simply mentioned the coordination between the Soul Master Corps and high-altitude exploration Soul Guidance Devices. Now, it has already been implemented in several major Soul Master Corps.

Furthermore, the voice transmission soul tool was also used for communication among all soul master members, so that even when they were divided into several teams, they could still cooperate with each other.

The mental detection and mental sharing capabilities that Huo Yuhao possessed, which were only achievable with his million-year-old soul rings, could also be achieved with the advanced soul guidance technology of the Sun Moon Empire.

Although its effects are not as outstanding as mental detection, the range that the soul tool can cover far exceeds the mental sharing of Huo Yuhao alone. Through communication via the soul tool, the entire army of the Sun Moon Empire can be made into a whole, which is something that the three great empires cannot compare to.

The difference between a Soul Master and a Soul Guide was fully demonstrated in the battle of Tianming City.

Perhaps the difference between a single Soul Master and a Soul Master is not huge. A Soul Master can approach a Soul Master and defeat his opponent through various means. However, when countless Soul Masters form an army, their combat power is beyond the reach of a Soul Master.

Before the soul masters in Tianming City could even fully see what the attackers looked like, the Fire Phoenix Soul Master Corps' attack had already landed on the city walls.

The array set up in the city only held out for a moment before being completely shattered by the combined attack of the Fire Phoenix Soul Master Corps' array of soul tools.

With the city gates breached, some of the defenders tried to use the city's terrain to launch a surprise attack, but instead of the Sun Moon Empire's army passing through their ambush, they were met with a barrage of soul-guided cannons.

The Fire Phoenix Soul Mentors seemed to have seen through the Star Luo Empire's layout in Tianming City, and countless buildings collapsed one after another with a series of booming sounds.

Other troops also entered the city along with the Fire Phoenix Soul Master Corps, and the city was immediately thrown into chaos. The roar of various soul tools, the sounds of battle, and the faint cries mingled together, spreading from the city gate all the way to the center of Tianming City.

The road was piled with rubble that had fallen from the rooftops, and there were no intact houses on either side, only ruins everywhere. Soon, the army of the Sun Moon Empire had advanced to the vicinity of the center of Tianming City.

At the long-collapsed city gate, a figure slowly walked by, but the Sun Moon Empire soldiers left there to keep watch seemed to completely ignore the person in front of them.

Looking at the street in front of her where there was almost nowhere to step, Lin Xiao's figure floated slightly into the air, and she walked forward step by step.

Countless remnant souls rose from the surrounding ruins, surging towards Lin Xiao from where others couldn't see, and for a moment, the surrounding temperature seemed to drop several degrees. Although he was used to death, the pungent smell in the air still made Lin Xiao frown slightly. Looking around, he saw mangled corpses scattered everywhere beneath the ruins.

Occasionally, faint breaths could be heard from behind the ruins, as if someone was desperately suppressing their breathing, trying not to cry out.

Lin Xiao continued walking forward, pretending not to see anything. His soul power surged within him, and the "soul core" in his dantian seemed to contain too many remnant souls, trembling slightly, causing his entire soul power to vibrate.

Suddenly, it was as if an invisible shackle shattered silently, and even more powerful soul energy surged out from his body, causing him to uncontrollably exude a terrifying aura.

Level 92.

The power of the Snow Empress merged with the plane of the dead and was continuously absorbed by Lin Xiao. Now, stimulated by the death aura in Tianming City, his soul power level has once again broken through.

"Who?"

It seemed that someone had sensed the aura that Lin Xiao was exuding, but as Lin Xiao's cloak fluttered, the space rippled slightly, and his figure quickly disappeared.

The soldier who had spoken was about to approach when he suddenly stopped and looked up at the sky.

A lone star shone brightly above Tianming City. Although it was still daytime, the star was clearly visible, its dazzling light almost obscuring the sun's brilliance.

"Warning! Enemy attack!"

The piercing sound rang in the ears of everyone in the Fire Phoenix Soul Master Corps. Almost simultaneously, thousands of Soul Masters reacted, and Soul Guidance Shields rose up around them.

However, this lonely star was just the beginning. At the same time, another beam of light shot out from afar, and everything in its path turned into starlight and disappeared under its light.

"Hold on, it's the Imperial tribute coming to our aid!"

In the area not yet fully occupied by the Sun Moon Empire, the remaining soldiers of the Star Luo Empire were immediately taken aback.

Lin Xiao, who was far away near the city gate, also looked up at the sky. He could clearly sense the two powerful auras. It was obvious that the people who launched the attack were both Title Douluo.

Upon receiving Xu Jiawei's order, the several elders of the Star Luo Empire naturally dared not neglect their duties and rushed towards Tianming City almost without stopping.

As soon as they approached, they saw that there were no guards left on the walls of Tianming City. The group instantly understood what had happened. Before they even reached the city, their attack had already begun.

Lin Xiao subconsciously took a step forward as he watched the attack coming from afar, but quickly stopped and turned back to look in the direction of the Mingdou Mountains.

He didn't believe that Ju Zi's abilities were insufficient to anticipate that the Star Luo Empire would send reinforcements. Recalling Ju Zi's words before he left the command tent, it was clear that she had other plans.

Sure enough, in the next moment, a fiery red blade slashed through the sky and headed towards the star in the sky. Meanwhile, to the east of Tianming City, a group of Soul Masters suddenly appeared and blocked the Star Luo Empire's retreat.
