Douluo Continent: It Became Huo Yuhao's Golden Finger!

Chapter 231 Crowdfunded Version: Thousand Hands! Level 9 Fixed-Mount Soul-Guided Cannon! [Bonus Chapter - 950 Monthly Tickets]

Eighth Soul Skill: Thousand-Layer Rock Armor!

The earth churned, transforming into scales of rock that adhered to the mountain body of Xuan Zhang's martial spirit true form.

A single rock scale armor requires at least 2 to 3 fixed-mount soul-guided shells to shatter.

Zhuge Lan decisively stopped the output of the Vulcan fixed-mount soul-guided cannon, as continuing would only waste more fixed-mount soul-guided cannon shells.

—That was made by Huo Yuhao and all the souls working overtime to rush it out.

All the resources obtained from the Holy Spirit Cult and Xu Tianran will be used to make Soulfire version fixed-mount soul-guided cannon shells.

He raised his joined arms, and terrifying power accumulated in the meter-long muzzle, but there was no intention of forming an energy blast or a beam of light.

"brush--"

A sapphire on the muzzle flashed, and a metal bullet filled the entire muzzle. A complex soul-guiding array intertwined densely, and an aura that even Xuanzhang found terrifying spread out.

Huo Yuhao's spiritual body, within his third clone, couldn't help but fly out to observe from a third-person perspective.

This is a fixed-mount soul-guided cannon shell that he and Xuan Ziwen created by combining their life's knowledge, and it is level nine!

—A level nine fixed-position soul-guided cannon shell can theoretically unleash the power of a level ten soul-guided device!
However, the actual effectiveness still needs to be supported by real data.

Zhuge Lan aimed at Xuan Zhang, keeping a close eye on his ninth spirit ring, which had a 10-second absolute defense effect, and would seriously affect the test results.

But this old thing was obviously very confident in his defense and didn't take the small fixed-position soul-guided cannon shell seriously.

"call out--"

The beam of light, carrying a level-nine fixed-position soul-guided cannonball, instantly pierced through the air and struck the rocky scales. Under the multiple level-eight armor-piercing combined magic arrays engraved on it, it easily penetrated layer after layer of defense.

Xuan Zhang finally realized what was happening, and his ninth soul ring shone brightly.

Ninth Soul Skill: Mountain Suppression - Immovable as a Mountain!

His rocky scales, the surrounding earth, and even the small mountains several kilometers away all automatically flew towards the Xuan Barrier, compressed into a golden mountain armor.

The level nine fixed-position soul-guided shell was also filled inside, and exploded in the chest area, causing the golden light to sway continuously.

That means the attack shook the invincible defense, but it didn't break through it.

That is, level 90 and above, but below level 100.

"Damn it!" Huo Yuhao gritted his teeth and said, "You're already a defensive-type Title Douluo, how come you're still using an invincible ability?"

The spirits looked at their landlord speechlessly, as if to say, "Do you want to listen to what you're saying?"
But it's no wonder Huo Yuhao spoke without thinking.

The materials we had were only enough to manufacture one level 9 fixed-position soul-guided cannon shell. All we know is that its strength is above level 90. Isn't that a waste?

—A level nine soul tool is already comparable to a titled Douluo, not to mention a one-time level nine fixed soul tool shell.

I'm really annoyed.

The cannon barrel that Zhuge Lan had clasped together with his hands flew off and fell to the ground like scrap metal.

—This thing is indeed a one-time use item, specifically designed for launching this level nine fixed-position soul-guided cannon shell.

He rubbed his palms; the shock from the earlier blast still hurt a little.

Looking at the invincible Xuan Barrier, he had no interest whatsoever.

He asked directly, "Hey, can you tell me how powerful that shot was?"

Because of the Xuan Barrier's inability to move due to its soul skill effect, it completely ignored Zhuge Lan.

You ask me and I'll tell you?
Wouldn't that make me lose face?
"It seems that the Xuan family is the only one on the entire continent," Zhuge Lan said with a smile. "If you don't cooperate, then we'll have to use your descendants for experiments."

The enormous mountain giant trembled violently.

Clearly, his emotions were fluctuating greatly.

After a few seconds.

Before the invincible defense ended, Xuan Zhang still spoke—

"Around level 93."

Zhuge Lan looked at Huo Yuhao, whose brows were furrowed.

"It shouldn't be!"

"The soul guidance arrays that Lao Xuan inscribed, plus the rare metals he took from Mingde Hall, meant that the power of this level nine fixed-position soul guidance cannonball was originally around level 94."

"It belongs to the top-tier fixed-position soul-guided shells that are quite common in Mingde Hall."

"How come the power has decreased after adding my soul fire, mechanisms, and other designs?"

"Could it be that the Soulfire version is too low? Is it holding us back?"

Huo Yuhao was completely baffled.

Zhuge Lan had no interest in this, and Xiao Yuhao didn't bother to spend his luck points to investigate since he didn't speak up.

Even after the golden light of Xuan Zhang's mountain armor disappeared, he was still in no hurry to launch an attack.

Just wait.

Anyway, this thing can't be moved.

Maintaining the true form of a martial soul and the effects of soul skills requires a considerable amount of soul power.

Let's just wait and see.

Let's see who's more anxious, you or me.

It hasn't even been three minutes yet.

Xuan Zhang could no longer stand firm and challenged Zhuge Lan.

"Kid, why did you stop?"

Is that all you've got?

"You're not even worthy to tickle my back!"

"Hahaha--"

Zhuge Lan yawned, ignoring it as if it were a dog barking.

Xuan Zhang laughed for almost half a minute before finally giving in.

He said in a fit of rage—

"What exactly does your Sun Moon Empire want to do?"

"This is the heart of the Douluo Continent!"

"If you really destroy the royal family of my Douling Empire, we can just change the emperor. But if the Xingluo Empire and the Tianhun Empire find out, they will definitely surround and annihilate you!"

"Are you really willing to be buried with us?"

Zhuge Lan remained silent, even taking a step back to the ground to conserve her energy and reduce the consumption of soul power by MK-3.

It looked like they were going to have to fight a long battle with him.

Whether by coincidence or design, a powerful aura erupted from the direction of Douling City, with a black dragon soaring in the sky, clashing with four other auras.

The final battle has begun!

Xuan Zhang stared at the black dragon, his eyes filled with disbelief!

"Dark Holy Dragon? Dragon Emperor Douluo?"

"He's not dead yet?"

"Why is it him!"

"The mighty Dragon Emperor Douluo is actually willing to be a dog for the Sun Moon Empire?"

"Impossible! Absolutely impossible!"

After the initial shock, Xuan Zhang immediately realized that Tian Yang and the others were no match for the Dragon Emperor Douluo!

so.
He stared intently at Zhuge Lan; she was his only chance!
If we can capture this guy alive, then we'll have the right to negotiate!
For the sake of the Fighting Spirit Empire.

Without the slightest hesitation, Xuan Zhang canceled the effect of his soul skill and moved, instantly dissipating all the defensive buffs he had accumulated.

next second.

A large number of Soulfire-version fixed-position soul-guided cannon shells, under the powerful firing rate of the Vulcan fixed-position soul-guided cannon, bombarded Xuan Zhang's martial soul true form.

Xuan Zhang did not try to dodge the bombardment and braved it to get closer to Zhuge Lan.

However, the MK-3 was flying at an extremely high speed, and no matter how fast Xuan Zhang accelerated, he could not drag the huge Martial Soul True Body any closer.

On the contrary, Xuan Zhang's soul power was being consumed like water under the massive bombardment.

—Each Soulfire Edition fixed-position soul-guided cannon shell is a Soul Douluo-level attack!
Even a large number of ants can kill an elephant, let alone someone who is only level 91. Although there is a significant gap between him and a Contra Master, numbers still matter.

How to do?
Should we continue to stall?

The battle situation in Douling City is urgent and won't wait for anyone!

Xuan Zhang gritted his teeth!

Sixth Soul Skill: Mountain Collapse and Earth Shattering!

A powerful punch slammed into the ground, turning rocks along the way into giant stone spikes that caught up with Zhuge Lan at a speed exceeding that of flight.

"Om-"

A soul-guided shield appeared, withstanding the heavy blow from the stone spikes, but there was only a slight ripple and nothing more.

A shield-type soul tool of at least level eight!

Xuan Zhang was truly impressed. The Sun Moon Empire's soul tool technology was monstrous; they were able to integrate so many soul tools onto a single suit of armor.

Fortunately, the attack reduced Zhuge Lan's flight speed.

Xuan Zhang unleashed several more powerful punches, sending out even more giant rock spikes to encircle and attack.

He decisively dispelled his cumbersome Martial Soul True Body, causing the hundred-meter-high mountain to collapse into a pile of boulders, while his true body shot an arrow towards Zhuge Lan who was defending.

then
Zhuge Lan's left hand flashed with a golden bracelet, and the repaired three-pointed double-edged halberd was held in both hands. He swung it towards the Xuanzhang that was rushing towards him.

Golden Thirteen Halberds - First Form - Unpredictable Storms!
—Divine skills are not considered self-created soul skills, but they can be used!
Xuan Zhang was unaware of the power of the Unstable Storm. Rock phantoms appeared on his body, and his fifth soul ring shone brightly.

Fifth Soul Skill: Immovable King Form!
It grants immunity to some control-type soul skills and greatly increases defensive capabilities.

but.
How could a mere fifth soul skill possibly defend against a divine skill?

The barrier, encircled by six rings, was unsurprisingly kept suspended in mid-air.

"Swish swish swish swish swish—"

135 Vulcan fixed-equipment soul guide cannons appeared, which is the maximum number that can be produced by all soul spirits in the short term.

The soldiers huddled together, pointing their guns at Xuan Zhang. Zhuge Lan stood in the very center, holding a three-pointed, double-edged halberd suspended in mid-air, and bowed gracefully to Xuan Zhang.

"Respectfully bidding farewell to Immovable Douluo!"

next second.

A hundred guns fired simultaneously, more than 13500 Soulfire Edition fixed-position Soul Guided Cannon shells per second, which is equivalent to a full 13500 Power Attack-type Soul Douluos using their eighth Soul Skill at full power!

Xuan Zhang, who was under the control of the unpredictable storm, had no choice but to start using his Martial Soul True Body and Ninth Soul Skill again.

The golden mountain armor shattered instantly!
—The frequency of damage taken is too high and the amount of damage resisted is too great, so the invincible defense has simply stopped working!

this moment.

Xuan Zhang understood that he was doomed.

'Even if it means death, I want to do something for the empire!'

'Divine Examiner, follow me to hell!'

next moment.

The terrifying power erupted without warning, shattering the MK-3's six-layered level seven invincible shield in the blink of an eye. In the end, it was only the single layer of level eight invincible shield that barely managed to defend itself.

As for the Vulcan fixed-mount soul-guided cannons that were released, apart from the two on the shoulders, the rest were all destroyed.

The exquisitely crafted rare metals were melted into molten iron and spilled over an area of ​​tens of kilometers. Recycling and reusing them would be an enormous undertaking.

As for the spirits and other onlookers, they all displayed their unique abilities and were not harmed too much.

Only Huo Yuhao clutched his chest in distress.

Gone!

He squandered so many resources, worked so hard for so long, and all the foundation he built was destroyed by Xuan Zhang's self-destruction!

Not only did he manage to manufacture the Vulcan fixed-mount soul-guided cannon, but he also quickly produced the most crucial core module.

However, the Soulfire version of the fixed-mount Soul-guided cannon shells in the storage magazine are a massive quantity!

Even with Zhuge Lan's extravagance just now, it only consumed about 1%.

As a result, one of them self-destructed and evaporated, leaving only the two units assigned to MK-3?

—If the storage soul tool is broken, the contents inside will be shredded by the void unless the material is hard enough.

Huo Yuhao pounded his chest.

pain!
It hurts so much!
[Rewrite the fate of Huo Yuhao, God King Tang San, and the Douling Empire, +0 Luck Value!]

Ok?
0 Luck Value?
What do you mean?
The "debt" that Brother Lan mentioned before?

Wow!
It's heartbreaking!!! The information Zhuge Lan received is—

[The Sea God's Third Trial: Master a divine skill to kill a Title Douluo—Completed!]

[Rewards: Poseidon Compatibility +15%, Super Artifact - Poseidon Trident Compatibility +15%, Divine Skill - Golden Thirteen Halberds - Sixth Form - Land-Sea Divide, Seventh Form - Wave-Swept Seven Kills!]

[The Fourth Trial of the Sea God: Master the divine skills - Golden Thirteen Halberds - Sixth Form - Land-Sea Divide and Seventh Form - Seven Waves of Death; gather the power of the Sea God's faith; and rebuild Sea God Island!]

[Rewrite the fate of Huo Yuhao, God King Tang San, and the Douling Empire, +40 Luck Points!]

Yo!
I thought this fourth test would be about him killing a Title Douluo with his bare hands using only his soul power.

I didn't expect it to just be a collection.
and many more!

It's a scam!

Ten thousand years ago, Poseidon Island slowly sank into the sea after Poseidon's trident was pulled out.

The original inhabitants of Poseidon Island migrated to the coastline of Douluo Continent to live and multiply. Although there are still Poseidon Douluos who have inherited the title, the legacy of the Poseidon has been lost.

Not to mention patrolling for the gods and fooling the sea.

Ten thousand years passed.

The legends about sea gods on the high seas only exist among those ancient sea spirit beasts—such as the Demon Queen, the wife of the Deep Sea Demon Whale King!
Driven by extreme hatred for humanity due to her husband's death, his appearance as the successor of the Sea God is sure to provoke a relentless and deadly conflict with them.

He will also be the leader of the Holy Spirit Cult ten thousand years later.

Although Zhuge Lan is not afraid of death and can be resurrected.

However, to gather the faith of the Sea God and rebuild the Sea God Island, the major problem of the Demon Emperor is unavoidable.

This is absolutely a time-consuming, labor-intensive, and incredibly difficult exam!
how.

Did you think that continuing to challenge Title Douluos was no longer a challenge for me, so you decided to create a long-term mission?
Zhuge Lan grinned, showing his big teeth.

Don't say it.

That scoundrel's move really hit him right in the groin.

What Zhuge Lan lacks most right now is time.

"Ha! Interesting!"

"At worst, I'll just postpone the overall plan's timeline, but I'm definitely taking your Sea God position!"

"brush--"

A figure rushed over; it was Huo Yuhao.

"Brother Lan!"

"Don't bring this!"

"You've passed the exam, but all my savings are gone!"

"You're not even leaving me any luck points?"

"Uuuuuu——"

Zhuge Lan slapped the spirit away in annoyance.

"Don't complain after you've gotten the benefits. You still got this Poseidon thing for yourself."

Huo Yuhao remained silent.

However, Tianmeng and the other spirits flew over, bringing with them three soul bones.

"Those items dropped by the Immovable Douluo aren't very high quality, what are you planning to do with them?"

"Let's see if there's anyone suitable to use it. If not, we can give it to Xiaoyuhao to make a soul tool." Zhuge Lan patted his chest.

This time, MK-3 used some top-tier equipment; the ten-thousand-year-old soul bone that Dai Yueheng dropped was used in this breastplate.

The first wave of soul-guided shields was activated by this soul-guided device.

The effect is not bad.

Electrox summoned the Necromancer's Staff and opened a portal.

They went inside with a group of souls and returned to Huo Yuhao's second spiritual world, where they were nourished by the power of life and destiny, making them comfortable and stronger.

Zhuge Lan didn't remove his armor and flew towards Douling City.

But he had already switched to the second point and looked up at the five people fighting in the sky.

Long Xiaoyao was completely playing around; even though Tianyang and the other three used all their skills, they couldn't budge him in the slightest.

It's really tough.

"Interesting, let me see how powerful that move is."

Zhuge Lan controlled his second clone, stomped one foot on the ground to summon a hundred-meter-tall wooden figure, and took out a microphone soul tool.

"Hey!"

The amplified soul guides deployed throughout the city emitted sounds simultaneously, attracting everyone's attention.

"Hello everyone, I am Zhuge Lan from the Holy Flame Meow Meow Cult."

"Douling City is now in imminent danger, but I have a method that may be able to repel the enemy."

"I'm going to use a super-wide area-of-effect ability in a moment. Everyone, please move closer to it. It will absorb your life force, but it won't kill you."

"Those who possess chakra should refine their chakra as much as possible."

"Whether we live or die, it all depends on everyone!"

Make a prior statement.

Zhuge Lan stood on the 100-meter-tall wooden figure and clapped his hands.

Wood Release: Advent of the Tree World!

next moment.

Centered on Zhuge Lan, giant trees sprouted from the ground within a ten-kilometer radius, growing into towering trees in just a few breaths.

The civilians, soldiers, and soul masters were all bound and wrapped by tree branches, which continuously drained their life force, spiritual power, and chakra.

He had absolutely no interest in soul power.

It continuously supplied Zhuge Lan, quickly replenishing the massive amount of chakra that had just been consumed, and was still accumulating.

The sheer quantity overflowed from his body, transforming into a swaying chakra cloak.

But Zhuge Lan made no further move, simply waiting calmly.

Those who received the previous message are rushing in from all directions, voluntarily throwing themselves into the woods to be tied up.

Provide Zhuge Lan with more chakra.

The overflowing chakra, like a bonfire fueled by fire, leaped high and condensed into some kind of creature, but was firmly controlled by Zhuge Lan's mental power and could not go berserk.

However, the enormous energy reaction had already attracted the attention of the five people fighting in the sky.

When Tianyang saw that it was the mysterious Zhuge Lan, he made up his mind!
"Intercept him with all your might and buy Zhuge Lan time!"

The offensive immediately became even more ferocious.

But it was all the same to Long Xiaoyao. He glanced curiously at Zhuge Lan, his gaze lingering on the wooden figure and the dense forest for a moment.

He remembered from the intelligence that after the Lord of Light established the Temple of Light, a masked man suddenly appeared. He possessed an incredibly powerful plant-based martial spirit and loved to destroy buildings, then clap his hands together and rebuild them.

Its ability is very similar to the one below.

Then, thinking of Lan Zhu, he insisted on choosing the Douling Empire.

Long Xiaoyao didn't believe there wasn't something fishy going on.

But that's it.
What does this have to do with him?

In any case, he was only thinking about the two second-level gods that Lan Zhu had promised, and he didn't want to get involved in anything else.

The Immovable Douluo over there has been killed, and the Divine Test should be completed as well.

Long Xiaoyao was about to leave.

Zhuge Lan finally made a move, clapping his hands together in his familiar gesture.

With the wooden figure beneath his feet as a foundation, thousands of giant hands extended from his back, and his body also grew taller, quickly surpassing the original limit of thousands of meters, reaching a terrifying ten thousand meters!

Wood Release: True Several Thousand Hands - Crowdfunded Enhanced Version!
Zhuge Lan was able to stand in Douling City and look at the five people fighting in the air at eye level.

Long Xiaoyao became interested; this thing was quite intriguing.

Zhuge Lan's eyes swirled with tomoe, transforming into an eternal kaleidoscope that spewed forth a massive amount of blue light, which then adorned the thousand gloves behind her.

Mighty Susanoo!

A black liquid flowed out of his body, covering the Susanoo armor with another layer.

Divine Artifact: Destroy the Source!

But that's not all!

The wooden figure beneath Zhuge Lan's feet suddenly raised its hand and grabbed at Tianyang and the other three.

"Four of you, lend me a hand!"

Without much thought, the four of them flew to the wooden figure's hand and began to refine their chakra to inject into it—of course, no one would complain about this extra energy.

The Thousand Hands, now doubly enhanced, faintly glowed with a purple light, its power growing ever stronger.

Divine Skill: Annihilation!

in this way.

The strongest form, funded by the collective efforts of the entire Douling City, has been born.

"Dragon Emperor Douluo, take this!"

"Destruction God's Might Armor - True Several Thousand Hands - Top Transformation - Annihilation!!!"

The thousands of giant arms finally understood, and while they swarmed forward, they did so in an orderly fashion, bombarding the dark holy dragon in front of them in a continuous barrage.

"Boom boom boom boom))))=>"

Amidst the deafening roar, the protective soul guide of Douling City was activated, but cracks appeared everywhere in the aftershocks.

Seeing that they were about to lose their grip, the people dressed in the Holy Fire Cult's attire, led by Xu Sanshi and Jiang Nannan, used various methods to protect the people in the forest.

As for those outside...
Since none of you believe in our patriarch, then you'd better pray for yourselves.

even so.

The sheer pressure from their clashes was enough to knock out anyone below the level of a third-ring Soul Master. As the black dragon and black fist clashed violently, the city, buildings, ground, and city walls outside the Tree Realm were repeatedly washed away.

Wait for everything to settle.

Long Xiaoyao remained unmoved, his nine dazzling spirit rings slicing through half the sky, with the eighth and ninth spirit rings shining like blood moons.

This forced him to use his eighth and ninth soul skills, which had been around for 10 years!
Previously, Tianyang and his group couldn't even force out their third soul skill.

"Crash-"

The True Thousand Hands withered and decayed, and Zhuge Lan unfurled purple-black wings behind him, a transformation aimed at disrupting the very essence of things.

He covered his eyes with one hand, blood continuously seeping from between his fingers.

Compared to the spotless Long Xiaoyao, he was utterly disheveled.

but!

Zhuge Lan's strength was only around the Soul Douluo level, while his opponent was a veteran Limit Douluo, second only to Mu En, who was already a demigod!
If they can achieve this level of success, no one can say that the Holy Fire Cult is wrong.

Tianyang, holding the other three unconscious Title Douluos, tried to protect Zhuge Lan, but she stopped him with a raised hand.

He raised his hand and took out a God-Sealing Platform, slightly unsealing the outer seal to reveal a wisp of divine consciousness within.

Long Xiaoyao's expression finally changed. Without any hesitation, he tore open a spatial rift, plunged in, and disappeared.

Tianyang, who had survived the ordeal, looked at Zhuge Lan with trepidation.

"Please be careful with your hand!"

"Slowly seal it back in."

"No hurry, no hurry!"

Watching Zhuge Lan slowly reseal and put away the Conferred God Platform.

Tianyang finally let out a long breath.

"We owe you a great debt this time," Tianyang said with a wry smile. "The Sun Moon Empire harbors wolfish ambitions! I will definitely contact Xingluo and Tianhun and demand an explanation from them!"

"I don't care about that."

Zhuge Lan glanced down at the ground.

The Tree Realm has withered since its arrival, and more than 80% of the buildings within a ten-kilometer radius have been crushed. The ground is littered with people who have been drained dry.

As for the outside, not a blade of grass grows.

The once prosperous Douling City and the Douling royal family are no more.
