Douluo Continent: Outwitting the Ceiling of Wisdom - Yuhao Faks His Death for Ten Thousand Years

Just as Huo Yuhao was about to seize the opportunity to counterattack and unleash the weakened Emperor Palm - Great Cold Unparalleled to render Ye Guyi unable to fight, Xiao Hongchen's second round of fire support arrived.

The hundreds of miniature floating soul guides actually coalesced and recombined in mid-air, transforming into ten medium-sized floating cannons, their muzzles shimmering with intense light—

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

The soul-guided cannonballs struck precisely between Huo Yuhao and Ye Guyi, blocking all of his attack routes.

Huo Yuhao had no choice but to retreat quickly and temporarily avoid his attack.

However, one problem after another arose as Gu Yuena unleashed a series of fireballs and wind blades that repeatedly struck Huo Yuhao's retreat route.

The fire grows stronger with the wind, and the wind fuels the fire.

What appears to be a simple, purely elemental attack grows exponentially in power under Gu Yuena's perfect control.

When Huo Yuhao unleashed his ultimate ice soul power to block the fireballs and wind blades, his soul power was consumed much faster under this combined attack of wind and fire elements.

It must be said that the teamwork of the four opponents was perfect, much better than Huo Yuhao had initially expected.

"If this drags on, the situation will become increasingly unfavorable for me... I need to find someone to target and disrupt their offensive rhythm!"

Huo Yuhao dodged the floating cannon fire and wind blade fireballs, his slightly brightened eyes falling on the four people opposite him, leaving behind arcs of light as he moved at high speed.

Soon, his gaze locked onto Xiao Hongchen, who was leisurely hiding in the back row, constantly firing his floating cannons:

"You're the one, Brother Xiao!"

With a firm thought, a row of streamlined, dark blue components suddenly appeared on Huo Yuhao's back.

That was the Vector Soul Guided Propulsion Device, which he forged ten thousand years ago using Ice Extreme God Crystal as one of the prototype components of the battle armor with close-fitting transformation function.

"Buzz—!"

The thruster nozzles emitted a dark blue light, and the ultimate ice soul force, which served as the thrust, roared out.

The next moment, Huo Yuhao's figure seemed to be instantly enveloped by the icy blue tail flames, turning him into a streak of light that tore through the air. With an almost brute force, he broke through the opponent's firepower and rushed straight towards Xiao Hongchen!

"Damn, this guy doesn't look friendly, Yuhao!"

Seeing Huo Yuhao rushing towards him, Xiao Hongchen was shocked, but he also quickly responded with his excellent combat skills.

Xiao Hongchen's first spirit ring immediately lit up, greatly enhancing his control over metal.

Immediately afterwards, the floating cannons in the air disintegrated, transforming back into hundreds of miniature floating soul guides, which then rapidly reassembled under the pull of soul power—

They were not randomly stacked, but precisely arranged according to the optimal structural nodes of the soul guide shield, instantly unfolding a radiant soul power barrier between him and Huo Yuhao.

These miniature floating soul tools are called "Myriad Manifestations Golden Pivot," and they are top-tier soul tools that Xiao Hongchen personally crafted ten thousand years ago.

It can be considered his own "peak level nine" natal soul tool, which is close to the level ten soul tool.

Xiao Hongchen's innate soul tool is versatile and extremely powerful. Each floating unit does not have a fixed soul tool level; its power depends entirely on the strength of the soul power injected by Xiao Hongchen and the precision of his metal manipulation.

Furthermore, the floating units of the Myriad Manifestations Golden Pivot can enhance each other through soul power resonance, achieving an energy efficiency leap where "the whole is greater than the sum of its parts".

Therefore, even though Xiao Hongchen is only at level 26, the barrier formed by these 128 Myriad Manifestations Golden Pivot Units has a maximum defensive strength comparable to a level 5 Soul Guidance Shield, achieving a defense that spans three cultivation levels!

This is all thanks to Xiao Hongchen's top-notch metal control ability, which allows him to greatly unleash the potential of the soul tool, giving it power that exceeds the level of its internal soul energy.

When Xiao Hongchen had a cultivation level of 96 ten thousand years ago, he could control a total of 2 to the power of 16 units, which is 65,536!

If Xiao Hongchen cultivates to the limit in this life, the number of floating units he can control will increase to two to the power of nineteen...

Then his innate soul tool will truly possess the power of a level ten soul tool.

If he could upgrade his natal soul tool with the Heavenly Forged Metal he forged himself, he could even raise its level to the next level after reaching level ten.

However, to maintain this level 5 soul guide shield with the cultivation of a second-ring Great Soul Master, Xiao Hongchen's soul power was also rapidly depleting.

This is enough to prove how much respect Xiao Hongchen would show to her outspoken brother-in-law!

In the blink of an eye, Huo Yuhao, who had transformed into a streak of light that tore through the air, was already within arm's reach of Xiao Hongchen's soul guidance barrier.

However, it soon became clear that Xiao Hongchen's response was still not respectful enough to Huo Yuhao.

During the high-speed charge, Huo Yuhao released his first soul skill, Ice Emperor's Claw.

He stretched out his right arm, covered in diamond ice crystals, like Superman, and even when he was close to the soul-guided barrier, he did not slow down at all.

Just before his right hand was about to strike the soul guidance barrier, Huo Yuhao activated the Ice Soul Divine Illumination Technique and secretly used the power of the Water Dragon Soul from his divinely bestowed third soul ring, then injected it into the Ice Emperor's Claw—

At this moment, Xiao Hongchen was clearly being protected by a soul barrier that was two levels higher than Huo Yuhao's cultivation level, yet he suddenly lost all sense of security.

In that instant, through that soul-guided barrier, he seemed to see a dragon-shaped phantom on Huo Yuhao's right hand, which had transformed into the Ice Emperor's Claw, making him tremble from the bottom of his heart!

The next moment, as the Ice Emperor's Claw struck the soul-guiding barrier at supersonic speed, cracks immediately appeared and spread out in the blink of an eye—

Then, it shattered!

Before Xiao Hongchen could react in time, Huo Yuhao, whose speed hadn't decreased much, knocked him unconscious with a weakened version of the Emperor's Palm.

"Laughing at the mortal world, fall!"

Huo Yuhao thought to himself as if he were a child who had defeated an enemy in a video game, a smug smile spreading across his face, while simultaneously controlling the vector soul-guided thrusters on his back to slow himself down.

All of this happened in less than a second.

If the person standing there just now was an ordinary Soul King, he would have been killed by Huo Yuhao's Emperor Palm without weakening its power.

Seeing Xiao Hongchen's body fall to the ground, Meng Hongchen, Ye Guyi, and Gu Yuena were all shocked.

Although Meng Hongchen hadn't seen what had just happened, she knew very well how strong the highest defensive capability of her brother's natal soul tool was, so she couldn't help but exclaim in admiration:

"Xiao Yuhao... is just too strong!"

On the other side, Gu Yuena immediately realized that from the moment Xiao Hongchen was "instantly defeated" by Huo Yuhao, their chances of winning were already very low.

Therefore, they had to go all out and immediately unleash their strongest attack on Huo Yuhao!
