Chapter 74: Outbreak! The Bombardment of Linked Soul Tools and level nine fixed soul bomb shells!
Lei Chen's words, "Let it end," were like a pebble thrown into a calm lake. The sound wasn't loud, but it carried a strange rhythm that seemed to command the laws of the world and judge the finality of the situation, echoing clearly in the hearts of every powerhouse.
Atop the high mountain, the Tian Shen, who had been full of pride and satisfaction, was momentarily stunned upon hearing this. The smile of impending victory on his face instantly froze, replaced by a hint of inexplicable shock and suspicion.
He instinctively sensed that something was wrong. Lei Chen's tone was too calm, too certain, as if he were stating a preordained fact rather than making a bluff in a desperate situation.
"Death is at your doorstep, yet you still dare to speak such nonsense..." Tian Shen Tianshen subconsciously shouted sternly, trying to use words to suppress the unease suddenly rising in his heart.
However, before his voice could fade, a sudden change occurred!
Below, the towering Golden Ancient Tree, which stood like a symbol of life and hope for the Douluo Plane, suddenly erupted with an unprecedentedly brilliant radiance.
It wasn't just gold; it was a magnificent halo of seven colors—red, orange, yellow, green, cyan, blue, and purple—circling the tree trunk like a rainbow after the rain. A vast, sea-like, and pure force of the Plane's Source, as if summoned by a supreme will, began to boil with unprecedented vitality.
This seven-colored light was not an attack, but a signal—a signal to ignite the beacon of the final counterattack!
The moment the seven-colored light shone, the momentum of the Douluo Allied Forces—who had previously seemed to barely maintain their defensive line through the firepower advantage of Spirit Tools and the bloody battles of their powerhouses under the frantic assault of the Abyss Creatures—suddenly shifted.
It was a resolute transformation from passive defense to active offense!
Across the long defensive line, ten top-tier Soul Engineer Corps and fifty ordinary Soul Engineer Corps—a total of sixty Spirit Tool arrays—saw every soul engineer soldier within them, regardless of cultivation level, simultaneously light up with Soul Power radiance that resonated with their corps' core Linked Soul Tool!
Tens of thousands of Soul Power streams, like a hundred rivers returning to the sea, instantly converged into the core Linked Soul Tool at the center of each Soul Engineer Corps through pre-arranged Spirit Tool circuits!
"Weng—!!!"
The air let out an overburdened wail. At the positions of the sixty Soul Engineer Corps, space distorted violently, as if unable to withstand the sudden concentration of terrifying energy.
In the next moment, sixty incredibly thick, high-energy Soul Power rays of various colors—yet all containing the aura of destruction—erupted from various points along the defensive line like the roar of an awakening giant beast. They tore through the sky and shot fiercely toward the abyssal army surging forward like a tide!
These sixty rays were clearly distinguished.
Fifty of them had relatively restrained light, but their energy density was enough to make any Titled Douluo pale—each one contained a terrifying power capable of instantly killing an ordinary Titled Douluo!
The other ten were even more dazzling, like the gaze of a death god. Wherever the light pillars passed, space was scorched with distorted marks. Their power was so great that it actually reached a horrifying level capable of threatening or even instantly killing a Super Douluo!
This was the highest crystallization of the Sun Moon Empire's Spirit Tool technology over thousands of years, and the ultimate art of war displayed by Kong Deming after integrating the resources of the entire continent—the Linked Soul Tool Attack Array!
It took the power of hundreds or thousands of Soul Masters and perfectly integrated, amplified, and transformed it through exquisite Linked Soul Tools, turning individual parts into a whole and erupting with a destructive force far exceeding the sum of its parts!
Since the start of the war, the Douluo Allied Forces had been holding back, even enduring heavy blows, just to keep this trump card hidden until the most critical moment to deliver the most lethal strike to the Abyss!
The abyssal army clearly hadn't expected the opponent to have such terrifying area-of-effect killing methods. The cannon fodder in the front row, mainly composed of low-rank Abyss Creatures, didn't even have time to scream before they were instantly vaporized and annihilated like snow under the sun under the sweep of the sixty destructive rays!
The rays continued unabated, like sixty red-hot branding irons cutting into the dark red tide. Wherever they passed, they left sixty shocking vacuum zones that were cleared in an instant!
However, this was only the beginning!
Just as the light from the sixty Linked Soul Tool rays had yet to completely dissipate, an even more heart-palpitating energy fluctuation erupted from the core of every Soul Engineer Corps!
"Swoosh—swoosh—swoosh—!"
The piercing sound of breaking air joined together, like the scythe of a death god slicing through the sky.
Sixty cylinders of various designs, yet all engraved with complex Spirit Tool runes and emitting an aura that made the soul tremble, were pushed out by specialized launch Spirit Tools. Trailing long tails of flame like sixty soul-chasing meteors, they drew graceful parabolas and smashed accurately into the rear of the abyssal army—the area where the Abyssal Kings with the strongest auras were located!
level nine fixed soul bomb shells!
The strategic reserves accumulated by the Sun Moon Empire for thousands of years were, at this moment, poured out all at once without reservation!
Every level nine fixed soul bomb shell was equivalent to the full-strength strike of a Level 99 Limit Douluo. These were strategic weapons capable of changing the course of a regional battle!
At this moment, the volley of sixty shells had a power that was no longer a simple addition; it triggered an energy storm that swept across the entire front-line battlefield!
"Rumble, rumble, rumble—!!!"
The earth-shaking explosions were continuous, as if the entire boundary of the plane was being torn apart at this moment!
First to erupt were extreme light and heat. Blinding white light instantly swallowed everyone's vision, as if dozens of suns had risen simultaneously within the abyssal camp!
Next came the destructive shockwaves, like a physical tsunami, spreading frantically outward in a ring from the points of explosion!
The ground shattered inch by inch like a fragile eggshell, with waves of earth kicked up hundreds of meters high. Dark red abyssal matter and the soil and rocks of the Douluo Plane were crudely mashed together, then instantly annihilated by even stronger energy!
Space was like a broken mirror, covered in spiderweb-like black cracks that could not heal for a long time.
Shrill wails were drowned out by even louder roars. Countless Abyss Creatures—whether they were cannon fodder who didn't fear death or backbone forces with strength comparable to a Soul Douluo or even an ordinary Titled Douluo—were instantly reduced to ashes in this world-destroying chain of explosions, like candles in a gale!
Those stronger ones, the Abyssal Kings of the First Thirty-Six Layers who were equivalent to human Titled Douluo, and the Abyssal Kings of the Middle Thirty-Six Layers who rivaled Super Douluo, might have been able to barely withstand the aftershocks of a single Linked Soul Tool ray. But in the core explosion area, equivalent to sixty Limit Douluo striking at full strength simultaneously, their resistance appeared utterly pathetic!
The protective abyssal energy was torn apart like wet paper, and their hard shells and bodies were easily ripped, melted, and evaporated before such absolute power!
The Abyssal Kings of the first thirty-six and Middle Thirty-Six Layers were almost completely wiped out in this round of unannounced saturated strikes!
Even the strongest Abyssal Kings of the Final Thirty-Six Layers, whose strength was comparable to human Limit Douluo, were either at the edge of the explosion or were lucky enough not to be locked onto by multiple shells simultaneously, yet they still suffered devastating injuries!
More than half of the kings from the Final Thirty-Six Layers—either because they were too close to the center of an explosion or because they were caught in the overlapping power of several shells—didn't even have a chance to struggle before they, along with their surrounding personal guards, turned into basic energy particles and dissipated into the world.
The remaining half were all injured, their auras withered, and their eyes filled with unbelievable terror and shock. The powerful strength they took pride in appeared so laughable under this kind of covering, absolute power suppression!
With just one volley, one unreserved outpouring, a huge swath of the front-line positions of the originally seemingly endless dark red tide of the abyssal army was forcibly erased!
Smoke filled the air, energy turbulence raged, and the battlefield that was originally filled with battle cries fell into a brief, death-like silence.
The soldiers of the Douluo Allied Forces, although they had received orders long ago, still felt a heart-palpitating shock witnessing this scene of destruction they had created with their own hands.
On the side of the Abyss, the surviving creatures fell into a state of massive panic and chaos.
Atop the high mountain, the expression on Tian Shen Tianshen's face had changed from shock and suspicion to complete ashen-faced distortion. Looking at the battle line below that had been emptied in an instant and the heavily damaged Abyssal Kings, an uncontrollable rage and chill rose frantically from the depths of his heart.
He stared fixedly at Lei Chen, who still looked calm, and almost squeezed the words out from between his teeth:
"You... planned this long ago?!"
