Douluo Continent: Starting with a Heavenly Fire Judgment

Chapter 467: A Great Harvest

"How ruthless! This Light of Death was actually forged from the wronged souls of humans. Just how many innocent people were killed during the creation of this soul-guided device?"

Chi Yuan, who landed beside Xu Jiujiu and Duke Baihu, had a serious expression. Although the Light of Death was powerful, it could not threaten her life. What shocked her was that the Light of Death was actually used to attack by fusing human vengeful spirits with soul power. It not only had powerful physical destructive force, but could also damage the soul and spirit.

The Sun and Moon Empire's stronghold in the Mingdou Mountains.

This is a mountain valley, and for safety, it is located in a cave carved out of the valley, not far behind the highest peak of the Mingdou Mountains. It is specifically responsible for controlling all the detection soul tools, and can be said to be the intelligence headquarters of the Sun Moon Empire's garrison in the Mingdou Mountains, and is personally in charge of a level nine soul master.

This level nine Soul Master is none other than Mad Bull Douluo Wang Yiheng, the leader of the Evil Lord Soul Master Corps.

He was temporarily transferred here. The Evil Lord Soul Master Corps was rotated with another Soul Master Corps originally stationed here. The reason is simple: the Soul Masters of the Evil Lord Soul Master Corps are the fastest, and are naturally the most adept at dealing with various situations.

Wang Yiheng's face turned ashen as he listened to the Soul Master's report.

Just a few minutes ago, above the Mingdou Mountains, in the sky stretching for almost a hundred miles, most of the ultra-high-altitude detection soul guides lost contact.

On the main battlefield, their greatest trump card, the Grim Reaper's Beam, was blocked by an unknown enemy and failed to play its intended role, a situation that can be described as unprecedented.

If only one high-altitude reconnaissance soul master lost contact, it could be attributed to a malfunction. But if so many lost contact at the same time, what does that mean? It means someone has tampered with it!

Recalling the incident a while ago, when the high-altitude detection soul tools deployed on the outermost perimeter to monitor the Star Luo Empire inexplicably lost contact, forcing them to withdraw the outermost high-altitude soul tools and shrink the monitoring range, they were able to be ambushed by the Star Luo Empire tonight. Otherwise, with the outermost high-altitude detection soul tools, they would have received the news immediately, instead of only discovering the enemy when they were attacked on their doorstep.

At an altitude of three thousand meters, even a titled Douluo-level expert would find it difficult to perform such a feat. It would be understandable if one device were damaged without being detected, but for dozens of ultra-high-altitude detection soul tools to be damaged at the same time, could it be that dozens of titled Douluos acted together? How is that possible? How could the Star Luo Empire suddenly produce dozens of titled Douluos?

"Has the patrol been dispatched?"

"Sir, the troops have already been dispatched."

"We probably don't have enough manpower. Pass on my order: the elite battalion of the Evil Monarch Soul Guidance Corps will be deployed. If they encounter any opponents, do everything in your power to keep them in check. If they discover our high-altitude detection soul tool, you must retrieve it. If you really can't retrieve it, even if you have to destroy it, we can't let it fall into the hands of the Star Luo people."

"Yes."

Orders were rapidly issued from the intelligence headquarters.

Wang Yiheng paced back and forth in the cave, his face extremely pale. After circling around several times, his back was soaked with cold sweat.

An unexpected and formidable enemy appeared on the main battlefield, capable of directly withstanding the Death Ray, a soul tool that even he dared not confront head-on!

The ultra-high altitude detection soul tool represents the highest level of detection soul tool in the Sun Moon Empire. If the Star Luo people were to obtain and decipher this thing, their guilt would be immense...

Although several have already gone missing!

"No, I'll go myself." After thinking it over, Wang Yiheng was still worried, so he immediately rushed out of the flash, activated his level nine flying soul tool, and instantly took off like a beam of light. At the same time, he activated his communication soul tool to obtain the latest detection information from the intelligence department.

No wonder Wang Yiheng was anxious. The Sun Moon Empire had only produced a little over a hundred of these ultra-high-altitude detection soul tools. They were the latest achievement and would need to be continuously improved. However, even the improvements would have to be based on the original ones. Losing even one would be a huge loss. Not to mention, the materials used to make the soul tool to operate continuously at ultra-high altitudes were the most advanced available. If more than twenty of them were lost, wouldn't Emperor Xu Tianran of the Sun Moon Empire go crazy?

Ji Lin hovered in mid-air, his smile growing wider. What a huge harvest! More than twenty ultra-high-altitude detection soul guides—how much are they worth? My little money, come to my bowl!

"Very good, the Sun Moon Empire actually has so many ultra-high altitude detection soul tools, hehe, watch me go up and collect these little cuties."

Ji Lin held a metal block and a box with a metal wire more than two meters long in his hand. This was specially made by Ji Lin after he first discovered the ultra-high altitude detection soul tool and brought it back to Xuan Ziwen, the strongest soul master under his command, for research.

This set of soul tools is level eight, and it is the best soul tool that Xuan Ziwen can make.

After a brief examination of the ultra-high altitude detection soul tool, Xuan Ziwen immediately found its loopholes. Back when he was still at Mingde Hall, this was one of the most important research directions for Mingde Hall, and as the chief researcher, he was well aware of it.

Therefore, he gave Ji Lin the soul tool he had made that could counter ultra-high-altitude detection soul tools. This is why Ji Lin was able to ignore these detection soul tools and fly freely over the Sun Moon Empire's garrison.

Although Ji Lin didn't understand these complex soul tools, as long as he could use them, that was enough. He didn't know how to make them, but learning how to use them wouldn't be difficult for him.

At this moment, Ji Lin used his specially made soul tool to secretly steal more than twenty ultra-high altitude detection soul tools.

Just as Wang Yiheng had worried, if so many high-altitude detection soul tools fell into Ji Lin's hands, it would be of great help to the Star Luo Empire's research on high-altitude detection soul tools. Although Ji Lin only took them because they were valuable, with Jing Hongchen supporting him behind the scenes, he didn't need to go through the trouble of finding someone to research these high-altitude detection soul tools; he could just pick up the ready-made, mature technology.

From afar, Ji Lin could already see streaks of light flying out of the Mingdou Mountains and heading straight this way.

Ji Lin had anticipated this. It would be strange if the Sun Moon Empire didn't react if so many of the ultra-high-altitude detection soul guides suddenly lost contact.

However, this was also one of Ji Lin's objectives: to lure out a group of enemies, annihilate them, and then make it easier for them to enter the Sun Moon Empire's defensive lines and cause damage.

At the same time, five soul guides sent by the Sun Moon Empire, each carrying a soul guide device, approached Ji Lin.

"Over here!"

The moment they saw Ji Lin, these Soul Masters notified their companions via their communication Soul Guidance Devices. One after another, black heavy cannons instantly appeared on their shoulders. Based on the location of the wave detection Soul Guidance Devices, they fired a cannon in Ji Lin's direction.

Clusters of blue-purple light shot out, hurtling towards Ji Lin.

Level 6 Soul Guidance Device, Thunder Cannon.

On the Sun Moon Empire's side, there are five Soul Masters in charge of reconnaissance and exploration. Among these five Soul Masters, two are Level 7 Soul Masters, and the other three are Level 6 Soul Masters.

Facing the oncoming soul-guided cannon, Ji Lin flapped his ice wings and quickly descended.

"Boom—" A violent roar exploded overhead, and a large area of ​​lightning covered hundreds of square meters. If Ji Lin had been even slightly slower, he would have been caught in the lightning.

The next moment, Ji Lin's body swayed in the air and accelerated instantly, rushing towards the Soul Masters. In the blink of an eye, Ji Lin arrived next to one of the Soul Masters who was using a Thunder Cannon.

The Soul Master, carrying the Thunder Cannon on his shoulder, had been monitoring Ji Lin's location with his Wave Detection Soul Tool. He was taken aback when he suddenly noticed a small bright spot on the Wave Detection Soul Tool rapidly approaching him.

However, as a senior soul master, his reaction was incredibly fast. He didn't have time to put away the detection soul tool in his hand. As soon as he let go, he immediately discarded the wave detection soul tool. At the same time, a layer of white light shield instantly radiated outward from himself.

He is a level seven soul guide shield, and he is a level seven soul guide master.

Not only that, a layer of golden light then shone from his body. As the captain of this five-person team, he also had a one-time-use invincible shield.

This thing isn't standard equipment for the Sun Moon Empire; it's too expensive to make. He created it himself after accumulating the materials.

Ji Lin's speed surprised him. He didn't want to be killed in one blow, so he decisively used the Invincible Shield.

However, to the surprise of this level seven soul master, the expected heavy attack did not come. When the bright spot on the soul probe was still about a hundred meters away from him, it suddenly rushed to the side at an astonishing speed.

"Little Four, be careful!" the level seven soul master shouted frantically.

Ji Lin didn't want to waste time attacking a Soul Master who was releasing a Level 7 Soul Guidance Shield and an Invincible Shield. Although it wasn't difficult for him, the Invincible Shield's duration was limited, so why waste time?

So he immediately changed his target and came to another Soul Master.

The Soul Master reacted just as quickly. He swiftly put away his detection Soul Guidance Device and activated his Soul Guidance Shield. With a split of his hands, two light blades opened in his grasp, and with rapid movements, they enveloped his body like a ball of light.

He was actually a melee soul master, and he seemed to be quite strong. His six soul rings—two yellow, three purple, and one black—shone brightly.

War is not a friendly sparring match. In critical moments, no one feels the need to cherish their soul skills. This soul master was no exception. The black soul ring that lit up on his body was the sixth one.

Behind him, a huge white light burst forth, resembling a white tortoise shell covered in countless patterns. The tortoise shell quickly transformed into pieces of armor, which flew around the melee soul master.
