Douluo Continent: I, Huo Yuhao, am the Master of Spirit.

Chapter 209 Arrival at Sunset Forest

Jiaojiao said to Youyou nonchalantly:

"Accident?"

"What kind of unexpected event could happen here?"

"That person has laid so many traps here, and the Azure Phosphorus Poison Array is the strongest poison array. If any human manages to get in by brute force, I'll drink the entire Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well on the spot!"

It gently trembled its huge pink petals, seemingly relieved of its anxiety.

A strange golden tulip flower exudes a noble aura. Under the bright sunlight, the flower shimmers with golden light. Its stem resembles a purple vine, with sharp thorns that gleam coldly. A strange fragrance permeates the surroundings.

The overall design features Huo Yuhao's favorite yellow and purple color scheme, prompting him to exclaim upon seeing it, "Tasteful!"

This noble, yellow-purple fairy herb is none other than the Qiluo Tulip, the most coveted treasure of the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, capable of evolving the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda into the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda.

The Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School is currently in an extremely awkward position. The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, the main branch of the school, cannot break through to the Soul Douluo level. This is mainly because Ning Rongrong and Oscar did not leave any descendants, leaving only the name of Nine Treasures.

Moreover, the emergence of Soul Cores has made Title Douluo less scarce, which can be considered one of the few version benefits during the Douluo Continent II: The Peerless Tang Sect era.

Unfortunately, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda doesn't benefit from the bonuses due to its martial soul characteristics, but it's reaping huge profits from the black market. Gemstone-type soul beasts are rapidly decreasing in number!

For various reasons, the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School is now in a semi-secluded state. The school is not as glorious as it was ten thousand years ago, and only its Nine Treasure Merchant Guild is active on the continent.

The tulip rustled its petals, and a male voice entered her ears.

"Don't worry." The Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well houses seven 100,000-year-old soul beasts.

"If all else fails, we can also utilize the power of the Dragon Lord beneath the Ice Spring and Fire Spring!"

"With the Dragon Lord's immense power and the ultimate fire and ice, any invading enemy will never return!"

Youyou was pleasantly surprised to hear the Qiluo Tulip speak.

"Xiangxiang! You're awake!"

"But the two dragon lords still have their consciousness intact, and it is estimated that it will take several thousand years before they become unconscious dragon souls."

"We probably can't command the two dragon lords, can we?"

Qiluo Tulip said calmly:

"I was woken up by your noise."

"The Yin-Yang Eye of Ice is our home; when the nest is overturned, how can any egg remain intact?"

"The two Dragon Lords also don't want the Ice Yin-Yang Well to be disturbed by outsiders; they will definitely come to help!"

Liehuo Xingjiao also chimed in:

That's exactly what I meant.

"With so many 100,000-year-old soul beasts in the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well, plus the Dragon Lord and the Azure Phosphorous Poisonous Mist outside, getting in here would require that person's secret assistance!"

"Otherwise, even one life wouldn't be enough to squander."

Hearing that her companions all shared the same opinion, Youxiang Qiluo Xianpin was completely relieved and said:

"Well, since that's what they say, I'm relieved."

"Xiangxiang, you can continue sleeping. I'm going to sleep too."

"There's nothing fun to do in the game lately. I wonder when the game module will actually be released?"

"That 'Ye Ge' also doesn't have a specific timeline."

Youyou wanted to go back to sleep. This is how it is for these 100,000-year-old plant-type soul beasts. Because they are difficult to move, they either sleep or contemplate life. Now they have the option of going online.

Just then, an even more violent explosion reached the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Eye Canyon, and a mushroom cloud of scorching flames soared into the sky, almost covering a quarter of the Sunset Forest's perimeter.

These plant-type soul beasts from the Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire could clearly see that the thick, emerald-green poisonous cloud in the southwest of Sunset Forest had visibly thinned, and they could even vaguely see the surging, seven-colored poisonous miasma on the outer edge.

Youyou was so frightened that she trembled and said:

"Um, um, Xiangxiang, Jiaojiao."

"That's fine too, right?"

Fiery Apricot and Beautiful Tulip fell silent, and the other 100,000-year-old plant-type soul beasts also panicked.

Although they are 100,000-year-old soul beasts, their combat power is average, and they have been raised in the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well since birth, so they have no combat experience at all.

These immortal herbs are well aware of their allure to humans! The combination of immortal herbs and a 100,000-year-old soul beast offers benefits that far outweigh the risks, driving humans to utter madness.

"Don't rush!"

"No problem!"

"The Azure Phosphorus Poison Cloud repairs very quickly! The Seven-Colored Poisonous Mist is the same; it won't be easily worn down!"

As the leader of these magical herbs, Qiluo Tulip, though her heart was pounding, still offered words of comfort to them.

At this moment, Kiritsugu Emiya, watching the weakening of the poisonous miasma through his binoculars, said to Shirou Emiya:

"Shirou, that's about enough."

"Upgrade to Level 7 Freezing Fixed-Motion Soul-Guided Shells and Level 7 Explosive Fixed-Motion Soul-Guided Shells!"

"With ice and fire intertwined, let's destroy those Seven Azure Phosphorous Flowers in one fell swoop!"

Shirou Emiya immediately organized his men and loaded the well-preserved fixed-position soul-guided cannon shells.

Then the final volley begins!

Fixed-position soul-guided shells, shimmering with an icy blue light, rained down upon the cluster of Azure Phosphorus Seven Absolute Flowers. The Azure Phosphorus Poison Cloud attempted to corrode these shells in mid-air, but to no avail.

The Third Root Group went all out this time; the shells were mixed with a small amount of Ice Extreme Crystal, so they wouldn't be easily corroded by the poison cloud.

With the explosion, white ice mist instantly swept over the entire group of Azure Phosphorous Seven Wonders Flowers. The Azure Phosphorous Seven Wonders Flowers, which had already been weakened by the previous nine rounds of bombing, could no longer withstand the attack and closed their buds in the low temperature.

Subsequently, the explosive fixed-position soul-guided cannonballs transformed into fiery meteors in the air and crashed heavily into the closed buds of the Azure Phosphorous Seven Absolute Flowers.

Without the obstruction of poisonous miasma, the viscous, liquid-like flames spread throughout the southwest, and under the intense heat, even rocks began to crack and turn into dust.

This explosive soul guide is modeled after napalm bombs, but it is even more powerful!

After the flames subsided, the southwest part of Sunset Forest was almost completely plundered, and the once lush forest was now exposed as scorched earth, with ice crystals in many places.

The Azure Phosphorus Seven Absolute Flower Array, which had been attacked by the exploding soul-guided cannonballs in the distance, was still burning with flames, like flames rising from hell.

"Wow, such a big scene! Anyone who didn't know better would think there was a war going on here."

Emiya Kiritsugu suddenly heard a familiar voice behind him, immediately turned around and bowed. Huo Yuhao patted him on the shoulder and said:

"Well done. Conventional methods shouldn't be used to deal with this kind of poison array."

"In the past, those in charge thought they could find a way out through exploration."

"Kiritsugu, you're the one with the best ideas."

"Luckily, there aren't any environmental protection organizations here, otherwise we'd all be publicly criticized online."

Huo Yuhao slowly walked to Kiritsugu's side, while Su Tong recorded the scene before her using the magic network. This was the first time the explosive fixed-position soul-guided cannon had been used in actual combat, and it was worth recording.

Emiya Kiritsugu smiled and said:

"Do your job."

"However, these soul tools are indeed very useful."

"I think the research department could develop some more powerful shells!"

Looking at the scene that was no different from hell, Huo Yuhao said:

"It will happen."

"The Soul-Guided Fission Missile is under research; you'll see it within five years."

"Hiss, you should know about fission reactions, right?"

Shirou Emiya below lit up and said:

"I know that."

"I remember when I graduated, it was all theory, wasn't it?"

"Is the research progressing this fast?"

Huo Yuhao looked down at Emiya Shirou, who had an innocent air about him and seemed like a kind-hearted person, and said:

"The most difficult part of developing this technology is..."

"Knowing the direction of research is like discovering a diamond on the ground."

"Subsequent research and development is simply a matter of picking up this diamond."

Upon hearing this, Shirou Emiya hesitated slightly before saying:

"According to the textbook, that kind of weapon must be very powerful."

"Won't it be dangerous?"

Huo Yuhao gently shook his head and said:

"It is not dangerous to be without weapons."

"If I could, I would also prefer that these weapons never had to be invented."

"I prefer to use fission in energy rather than in weapons."

"Unfortunately, that's just how the world is; we always have to learn to compromise with reality."

The Soul-Guided Fission Bomb is essentially the Douluo Continent version of a nuclear bomb, because due to equipment limitations, it's difficult to purify and enrich uranium-235.

Fortunately, the Douluo Continent possesses rare metals and core arrays, allowing the purification and enrichment process to be completed entirely through the core arrays, making it much more convenient than in the previous life.

Let the scientists of the past see the difference and call it a heretical method.

Huo Yuhao also added soul power properties to the fission bomb based on the characteristics of rare metals in Douluo Continent.

It is estimated that once the fission bomb is detonated, it will not only have the effect of a nuclear bomb from the previous life, but will also compress and release the elements of heaven and earth, causing elemental turbulence. Its power will be absolutely astonishing!

Once the research is complete, Huo Yuhao will throw one of the stones into the Qiankun Wenqing Valley.

However, more than the use of weapons, Huo Yuhao wanted to find a way to convert fission energy and electrical energy into soul power.

Soul power is a much better energy source than electricity.

The various wonderful properties of soul power alone can leave conventional energy sources far behind.

Huo Yuhao stretched and jumped down from the platform, saying:

"We should have arrived two hours earlier."

"On the way, we encountered a young lady who had run away from home and was being chased. The mastermind behind it all was her own father, who was jealous of her talent for cultivation."

"Before I killed her with one blow, I discovered that her biological father was her grandfather. Her real father had long been possessed by her grandfather. Her grandfather was obsessed with his granddaughter's body and planned to kill her and then slowly savor her."

"That old bastard Deng is still mocking me, saying he's hiding in a misty forest and telling me to go find him."

"How could I tolerate this? I just picked up my swivel gun! I wiped out the entire forest on the spot."

When Kiritsugu Emiya heard this, he was at a loss for words. He felt like something that would happen to the protagonist in a chivalrous novel.

Meanwhile, Su Tong, standing to the side, was completely exasperated. Who knew why the two of them would encounter an ambush as soon as they unleashed their divine power, with a steel knife pointed directly at their foreheads? How could they possibly run into such a low-probability event?

Fortunately, the teacher's Spirit Eye was useful, and I was able to quickly complete the side quest.
