Sky-Piercer Falls, Spirit Eyes Avatar!
This attack by the Holy Spirit Cult was not a spur-of-the-moment act of madness, but a premeditated attack.
Many of the Fixed Soul Guidance Shell that roared toward the Shrek Academy did not come from afar at all, but rather rose abruptly from the buildings within Shrek City.
Such a precise and dense saturation strike could never have been achieved without an inside agent who had pre-positioned firing positions within the city.
Moreover, the target of this attack did not seem to be just Shrek Academy. Flames also shot into the sky from the direction of the Tang Sect Headquarters, and the explosion could be heard clearly across most of the city.
The once bustling and peaceful Shrek City is now filled with the roar of explosions, the collapse of buildings, and the screams and cries of crowds.
Smoke and dust mingled together, shrouding the entire city in a gloomy despair.
Hiding in the Sea God Pavilion, Huo Yuhao and the others couldn't see the full extent of the devastation in Shrek City, but they could imagine it from the Soul Guidance Cannon constantly flying overhead.
They looked up as the teachers who usually stood on the podium to teach them soared into the sky one after another, doing their utmost and even sacrificing their Life God to intercept the Soul Guidance Cannon falling towards the academy.
In the end, Yun Ming, the Sea God Pavilion, also made his move.
He shattered his God Position, unleashing unprecedented power.
After slaying a group of powerful members of the Holy Spirit Cult, the final thrust of the spear caused the world to lose its color and the Sun Moon Empire to lose their light. The spear's beam pierced the sky and collided violently in mid-air with a level 12 cannonball powerful enough to kill gods.
In Huo Yuhao's perception, that majestic aura, like a pillar supporting the sky, disappeared in the aftershocks of the explosion.
Along with it, the full power of those two Level 12 God-Slaying Fixed Soul Guidance Shell also dissipated.
With Yun Ming's strength, he could have escaped unscathed from this catastrophe.
But he didn't. He was the Pavilion Master of the Sea God Pavilion. Faced with the academy and countless young Life God, he had no way out and never thought of retreating.
Huo Yuhao slowly withdrew his Divine Power, remained silent for a moment, and then turned around to look at his companions behind him.
Tang Wulin bit his lip hard, his honest and resolute face already covered with tears, his hands clenched into fists and trembling slightly.
Xie Xie turned his head away, his shoulders trembling, Xu Xiaoyan was also crying so hard she couldn't speak.
Na'er stood ramrod straight, but a faint moisture welled up in her silver eyes.
Gu Yue was the only one besides Huo Yuhao who remained relatively calm. She looked at Huo Yuhao with an unprecedented solemnity in her eyes.
However, now is clearly not the time to wallow in sorrow. The Holy Spirit Cult's attacks are not over yet, and the sounds of explosions outside the Sea God Pavilion continue to rise and fall.
The golden light shield formed by the Golden Tree Inner Court had been shattered by the repeated saturation attacks. Fortunately, the core layer of the golden light shield of the Sea God Pavilion still stubbornly protected this ancient pavilion.
After an unknown amount of time, the sounds of explosions gradually subsided until they disappeared completely.
The golden light barrier outside the Sea God Pavilion had dimmed to an extreme degree, like a candle flickering in the wind, ready to be extinguished at any moment.
Just then, Elder Jin's old and weak voice entered Huo Yuhao's mind once again.
The sound was weaker than ever before, intermittent, as if it had been squeezed out with the last bit of strength.
"My child, this is the last thing I can do for you."
As soon as the words were spoken, the golden light barrier outside the Sea God Pavilion, which had been desperately supporting the entire attack, vanished silently.
At the same moment that the golden light shield dissipated, the ancient Sea God Pavilion where Huo Yuhao and the others were located began to slowly collapse.
Everything was like an ancient building that had been sealed for thousands of years, finally exhausting its last bit of strength, slowly disintegrating in an invisible wind, turning into dust and specks of light, and ultimately leaving nothing behind.
Xu Xiaoyan looked around blankly, her eyes filled with devastation.
The once shimmering Sea God Lake is now completely obscured by rubble and mud, surrounded by pits of varying sizes.
Wisps of black smoke rose from the ruins amidst the broken walls, appearing particularly desolate under the dim yellow sky.
All of this happened so fast; it seems like only a dozen minutes have passed since the first shell landed.
In just over ten minutes, Shrek Academy, which had dominated the continent for twenty thousand years, was Destruction God.
Xu Xiaoyan said in a tearful voice, "Shrek Academy... is gone."
The others seemed to be affected by these words, instantly immersing themselves in an overwhelming sense of sorrow.
But at that moment, Huo Yuhao's expression suddenly changed, and he shouted sharply, "Hide well, it's not over yet!"
Huo Yuhao instantly donned his Two-Word Battle Armor. The smooth and gorgeous armor plates gleamed with a cold metallic luster in the dim light of the day, and a pair of huge metal wing blades suddenly unfolded on his back.
He pushed off the ground with both feet, and his whole body shot into the sky like a shooting star flying in reverse.
Almost simultaneously, his Spirit Eyes caught sight of a dazzling streak of light hurtling toward Sea God Island on the distant horizon.
With just one glance, Huo Yuhao accurately identified it as a Level 8 Fixed Soul Guidance Shell.
At this moment, no teachers from the Shrek Academy could be seen. The only person who could stand between the cannonball and the ruins of Sea God Island was him.
Huo Yuhao's expression was more solemn than ever before, but he was not flustered.
One by one Soul Ring rose from beneath his feet. The moment the seventh spirit ring, a crimson Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Ring, was lit, an overwhelming and suffocating pressure suddenly erupted from his body.
Behind him, a gigantic vertical pupil, tens of meters tall, suddenly appeared.
Its vertical pupils were a dazzling golden color, and the depths of its pupils were as unfathomable as an abyss.
A ring of rose-gold sun patterns surrounds the vertical pupil, each pattern slowly rotating as if alive, radiating an ancient and sacred glow.
This is not Huo Yuhao's original appearance of his Spirit Eyes Martial Soul, but rather the form he took after his Martial Soul Second Awakening following his cultivation of secret techniques at the Body Sect.
Furthermore, this is the highest-level Gold-Grade Secondary Awakening, enough to unleash two to three times the original power of his martial soul.
The moment the Spirit Eyes Martial Soul Avatar appeared, a golden beam of light, condensed to its extreme, shot out from the giant vertical pupil.
The beam of light was several meters in diameter and moved so fast that it didn't even leave an afterimage. It accurately hit the Level 8 Fixed Soul Guidance Shell that was rapidly approaching from afar.
After being hit by the Light of Spirit Eyes, the level 8 shell, which was powerful enough to level an entire city, did not explode or make any sound. It simply stopped abruptly in mid-air.
It was as if I had been instantly grabbed by an invisible hand, going from extreme speed to stillness in just a moment.
After hovering in mid-air for a few moments, the metal casing of the eighth-level shell began to disintegrate at a speed visible to the naked eye.
First, the rivets on the outer shell fell off one by one, then the internal Soul Power compression core separated from the outer armor, and finally even each metal plate was precisely disassembled into its most basic parts along the interface.
The whole process was as if the creator of this Level 8 Fixed Soul Guidance Shell had personally disassembled the cannonball step by step according to the process, and finally turned it into a pile of harmless metal parts that fell from the sky with a clanging sound and scattered into the turbid muddy water of Sea God Lake.
This is the special effect of Huo Yuhao's Martial Soul Avatar on Soul Tool. Instead of using brute force to detonate them, he relies on his thorough understanding of Soul Tool and the structure of metal materials to completely dismantle the target in an instant.
This move is incredibly powerful when facing Soul Tool, but it also consumes an enormous amount of Divine Power and Soul Power.
However, before Huo Yuhao could even catch his breath, his Spirit Eyes caught another dazzling streak of light on the distant horizon.
This time, the brilliance was even more dazzling than the previous level 8 shell. The trailing flame had an eerie dark purple hue, and the trajectory of that light alone tore the clouds along its path to pieces.
An overwhelming and suffocating pressure, far more terrifying than level eight, swept down from that direction.
Level 9 Fixed Soul Guidance Shell!
Huo Yuhao clenched his fists tightly, his expression becoming extremely solemn.
Although there is only one level difference between level eight and level nine, the difference in power is enormous.
The Level 9 Fixed Soul Guidance Shell is the pinnacle of the conventional Soul Tool system; a single shell is enough to destroy a city.
Even with Huo Yuhao's current Soul Saint level cultivation, and even with the Divine Power of the Spirit Domain Realm plus the Martial Soul Second Awakening, he wouldn't dare say he could withstand this attack.
