Douluo Continent: The Eye of Truth

Chapter 176 Fighting the God of Death, Battle the Dragon Emperor

Huo Yuhao did not answer Kong Deming's question.

Instead, he said to himself, "Master Kong, the real battle has only just begun."

As the power of the laws of the undead plane surged, it joined Huo Yuhao's Domain of Truth.

The Sun and Moon Cannon, which had previously been closely integrated with Kong Deming's twin martial souls through a secret method.

At this moment, its true core began to be revealed, which was also Huo Yuhao's opportunity to take action against it.

Under the pressure of the power of the laws of the entire plane, Kong Deming had no ability to resist.

He could only let Huo Yuhao influence and interfere with his natal soul tool.

Kong Deming could clearly feel that the pathway connecting his martial soul and soul power, which was originally contained within the Sun and Moon Cannon, had been severed.

Although he felt a pang of heartache, Kong Deming was more shocked than anything else.

It's important to know that the Sun and Moon Cannon's structure is so complex that even he would find it difficult to replicate a second one.

Creating the prototype of the Sun and Moon Cannon was relatively easy, but it became a crucial element after it was developed into a natal soul tool.

Due to the existence and influence of the Martial Soul, the structure of the Sun and Moon Cannon will eventually undergo subtle changes.

However, because this change was caused by the interference of the Martial Soul, even he could not fully understand it.

Therefore, each Soul Master's innate Soul Tool is unique and cannot be replicated.

Previously, he had been in a secret base.

Those external facilities were only there to maximize the power of the Sun and Moon Cannon.

The current Kong Deming himself can truly be considered the "Sun and Moon in the Sky Cannon".

The difference is that it was different from directly destroying the core array of ordinary soul tools in the past.

Moreover, Kong Deming, as a level ten soul master, could naturally see that.

Huo Yuhao's operations are now more meticulous and precise, unless one has a complete understanding of the current structure of the Sun and Moon Cannon.

Otherwise, Huo Yuhao would never have been able to achieve what he has today.

Huo Yuhao's dismantling was done under the premise that Kong Deming would not be able to reactivate and repair the Sun and Moon Cannon in a short period of time.

The Sun and Moon Cannon was preserved as completely as possible, and through the nurturing of his martial spirit, Kong Deming was able to restore it.

Therefore, a question arose in Kong Deming's mind: 'What exactly does he want to do?'

As Huo Yuhao dismantles the Sun and Moon Cannon, Kong Deming's understanding of his own innate soul tool becomes increasingly clear.

He could sense that a door to a higher level was opening for him in the process.

If I can leave here alive.

Perhaps he can improve upon what he thought was the ultimate "Sun and Moon Cannon" and reach an even higher level.

Ten minutes passed in silence.

As the power of the dimensional laws dissipated, Kong Deming regained his ability to move.

The next moment, Huo Yuhao and Kong Deming left the plane of the dead.

Feeling the soul power revitalized within his body, and the familiar power of heaven and earth around him.

Kong Deming understood that he had left that awful place.

Kong Deming was somewhat bewildered at suddenly appearing in this place.

However, Huo Yuhao did not give him much time to react.

An invisible spiritual force surged forth.

Kong Deming was thrown directly into the crowd by Huo Yuhao.

At this moment, Huo Yuhao and Kong Deming appeared in a military camp tent.

Everyone was shocked to see Huo Yuhao and Kong Deming suddenly appear.

"Who dares to trespass? Wait, this is Master Kong! And who is that person over there?!"

A ninth-level Soul Master, dressed in magnificent attire, stared wide-eyed as he spoke.

At the same time, he quickly used his soul power to catch Kong Deming in mid-air.

All around him were Soul Masters wearing military ranks.

They also wore medals of various ranks and gorgeous costumes; the lowest rank here was a seventh-level Soul Master.

Upon seeing the person who had spoken up and caught him, Kong Deming's heart sank.

Because he recognized the man's identity; the man was Xu Tianyuan, the leader of the Imperial Dragon Soul Mentor Corps.

The Soul Masters around him were mostly familiar faces, belonging to the royal family of the Sun Moon Empire.

Because of the battles at the front, the Imperial Dragon Soul Instructor Corps had already set off, so it goes without saying where this place is.

"Everyone, get out of this tent!" Kong Deming roared.

At this moment, all the soul tools on his body, and even the core array of the storage soul tool, were sealed by Huo Yuhao.

Although soul power can now be redeployed.

However, for him, a Soul Master, he had already lost eight or nine tenths of his combat power.

Upon hearing Kong Deming's order.

Xu Tianyuan, the leader of the Imperial Dragon Soul Mentorship Team, was taken aback at first.

Then he looked at the smiling stranger who seemed out of place among his peers.

At this moment, he couldn't help but feel a little uneasy.

Huo Yuhao smiled slightly and did not launch an attack directly, but waited for the other party to give instructions.

As the ace of the Sun Moon Empire, there are only five Beast King-level Soul Master Corps in the entire country.

The reaction of everyone present was incredibly swift; in the blink of an eye, all the Soul Masters unleashed their full power.

A large number of soul-guided shells and soul-guided rays were fired in quick succession, avoiding other friendly forces, and were densely packed towards Huo Yuhao.

However, these soul-guided projectiles and soul-guided rays could not get close to Huo Yuhao and disintegrated in mid-air.

They instantly transformed into fully armed metal soldiers, their bodies pulsating with powerful energy.

They protected Huo Yuhao, breaking through the attacks of the Soul Masters who were surrounding him and forcing them to retreat.

These high-ranking Soul Masters also successfully took the opportunity to leave the main tent, although it was only with Huo Yuhao's tacit approval.

With Huo Yuhao's will, the Realm of Truth disintegrated the large tent, and sunlight streamed down.

At this moment, a large number of Soul Master Corps members and their soldiers from the Sun Moon Empire are also rapidly gathering here.

This is the front line where the Sun Moon Empire and the Star Luo Empire are locked in confrontation.

Although it is a confrontation with the Star Luo Empire, it is due to the previous defeat of the Heavenly Soul Empire on the battlefield.

This place is now surrounded by the combined forces of the Heavenly Soul Empire and the Star Luo Empire.

It was only because both sides harbored their own ulterior motives and were wary of the powerful military strength of the Sun Moon Empire and the threat of the level-nine fixed-position soul-guided cannon shells.

In addition, the Holy Spirit Cult's evil soul masters, led by two Limit Douluos, wreaked havoc on the battlefield like ghosts.

Therefore, there are the Imperial Dragon Soul Mentor Group and the Fire Phoenix Soul Mentor Group.

Only with a small number of troops can they suppress the enemy on the border between the two countries.

This is exactly the effect Huo Yuhao wanted.

Because if they cannot defeat the Sun Moon Empire's most prized legion on the main battlefield...

Therefore, his plan to integrate the power of the entire human race will be difficult to complete in a short period of time.

Xu Tianyuan and another level-nine soul master exchanged a glance.

The level nine soul master quickly led Kong Deming to retreat to a more distant location.

Seeing this, Huo Yuhao did not stop them, but simply smiled and watched them leave.

As he left, Kong Deming gave Huo Yuhao a deep look.

At this moment, a large number of soldiers surrounded Huo Yuhao, but under Xu Tianyuan's orders, they dared not fire.

The two sides were locked in a stalemate, and the Sun Moon Empire's response speed was extremely fast.

Before long, a dazzling red light appeared in the distant sky.

This is the Fire Phoenix Soul Mentor Corps, which was in another war zone but received an emergency signal and came to provide assistance.

At this moment, however, were the soldiers and Soul Master Corps of the Sun Moon Empire.

They still only dared to surround Huo Yuhao, but dared not attack him casually.

After all, his previous actions had already created a mechanical legion of about a thousand men around Huo Yuhao.

Huo Yuhao closed his eyes slightly, as if he were pretending to sleep, or as if he didn't care about the others.

"Arrogance? Confidence? Huo Yuhao, what exactly are you trying to do?"

From the rear ranks, Kong Deming watched Huo Yuhao, who was trapped in a dense encirclement.

Two Beast King-level Soul Master Corps, plus the forces of other Soul Master Corps and Legions.

Even if a Limit Douluo were present, there would be absolutely no chance of escape.

Although all of his original soul tools had become ineffective, the Sun Moon Empire currently had no shortage of soul tools.

With the help of several level-nine soul masters, a decent set of soul tools was put together for Kong Deming.

With his skill in soul tools and his martial soul cultivation as a foundation, even if he doesn't reach the level of a level 10 soul master.

However, possessing combat power equivalent to that of a Limit Douluo is still not a problem.

Moreover, it seems to echo Kong Deming's sentiments from afar.

Two terrifying auras rose from the battlefield.

This formed a triangular encirclement around the location where Kong Deming was situated.

Feel the pure darkness on one side, and the deep resentment and evil aura on the other.

Huo Yuhao then opened his eyes and scanned the people present.

Those who are under his gaze and whose eyes pass over him.

Even a level nine Soul Master felt as if he had been completely exposed.

I felt like a lamb to the slaughter, sensing a deadly threat, and involuntarily retreated a little.

Only three people stood proudly among them, confronting Huo Yuhao.

Kong Deming, Long Xiaoyao, Ye Xishui.

The three ultimate combat powers of the Sun Moon Empire have now gathered here, which is exactly what Huo Yuhao has been waiting for for so long.

"The Holy Spirit Cult is an unstable element, and it seems to have some connection with the Asura God. Let's pull you out right here."

Huo Yuhao murmured, his words, though not loud, carried across the exceptionally quiet battlefield.

Upon hearing this, Long Xiaoyao merely frowned, but Ye Xishui's expression turned cold as she looked at Kong Deming and snorted coldly.

"It seems that the Soul Master Legion that Grand Master Kong serves under your Sun Moon Empire is not all that powerful."

"You couldn't even stop this brat from barging in, and now you have to send out a signal for help?"

Kong Deming said expressionlessly, "If the Imperial Advisor is confident, he can find out by trying it himself."

Apart from that, Kong Deming didn't actually have much of a plan to take action.

One reason is that he already knows he is no match for Huo Yuhao.

Secondly, he simply didn't trust Ye Xishui to backfire on him.

Seeing this, Ye Xishui didn't waste any more words.

Even now, with Xu Tianran's support, the Holy Spirit Cult has become the state religion of the Sun Moon Empire.

However, due to its evil nature, it has always been difficult for it to gain the recognition of most of the military and civilians of the Sun Moon Empire.

Such resistance has also created a significant obstacle to the spread of the Holy Spirit Church.

This was not what Ye Xishui wanted to see. In her eyes, this battle was an opportunity for the Holy Spirit Cult to establish its authority.

Previously, she was in a standoff with Long Xiaoyao and Du Busi.

Because of the fear of the deadly power of the poison, the battle remained deadlocked.

Now that this young upstart has appeared out of nowhere and delivered himself to our doorstep, the Sun Moon Empire's army is at a loss.

If we can take it down, the Holy Spirit Cult's position in the Sun and Moon Empire will be even more secure.

Although she couldn't quite figure this kid out, she wasn't fighting alone at this moment.

Ye Xishui said coldly, "Xiaoyao, join me in this attack!"

She immediately transformed into a streak of crimson light, sweeping up countless vengeful spirits as she charged toward Huo Yuhao.

Unlike the Tower of Death in the original work, which was built with the assistance of Kong Deming.

The appearance of the True Dragon Egg previously prompted the Sun Moon Empire to reform its soul tools.

With the "Sun and Moon Cannon" project underway, Kong Deming simply didn't have the time to help Ye Xishui forge a soul tool.

Although Ye Xishui is a decent Soul Master, that's about it.

The Death Tower is currently just a concept; it hasn't actually been implemented yet.

Therefore, all she can rely on now is the formidable combat power of the Limit Douluo himself.

Upon hearing this, Long Xiaoyao sighed helplessly. He had already recognized Huo Yuhao.

Unlike others, Long Xiaoyao was born in the Heavenly Soul Empire.

Therefore, as the current guardian sect of the Heavenly Soul Empire, whose sect leader is of equal cultivation level to himself, he is very concerned about the future of the sect.

He also learned more about the Body Sect, to which Du Busi, who was also a Limit Douluo, belonged.

He also learned that many of the reforms currently being implemented by the Heavenly Soul Empire and the Body Sect were carried out under Huo Yuhao's influence.

As a citizen of the Heavenly Soul Empire, he had a rather favorable impression of Huo Yuhao, a junior.

But now, he never expected Huo Yuhao to be so reckless, daring to come alone to storm the enemy camp.

At Ye Xishui's request, although he was unwilling to take action, his action might actually be an opportunity.

He could find an opportunity to save Huo Yuhao, this exceptionally talented junior, from Ye Xishui's hands.

A dark aura permeated the air, and dark clouds covered the sky.

The massive Dark Holy Dragon Martial Soul manifested itself.

Then, in coordination with Ye Xishui's attack, they also attacked Huo Yuhao.

However, compared to Ye Xishui and the countless vengeful spirits she carried, it was all ruthless.

Long Xiaoyao's aura was equally imposing, yet the profound darkness possessed a sense of tranquility.

Seeing that two of the most powerful Limit Douluos of the current era were attacking him at the same time.

Huo Yuhao, however, was not afraid at all; he was confident of winning this battle.

But right now, all Huo Yuhao needs is to fight this battle beautifully!

Under the influence of the Realm of Truth, the surrounding spiritual energy of heaven and earth was instantly drained.

A giant, more than ten times larger than the true form of the Dark Holy Dragon, broke through the encirclement of the dark clouds and appeared high in the sky.

"Come, let's fight!"
