Now There's a Problem, Isn't There!

But even with the protection of a ninth-level Soul Guidance Barrier, Xu Tianran still felt no sense of safety. The way he looked toward the valley was still filled with shock, disbelief, fear, and lingering dread.

By now, the valley had been swallowed by the explosion, making it impossible to see what was happening inside.

Xu Tianran forced out the words. "How is that possible? It was only some corpses being detonated, yet it unleashed power comparable to an eighth-level Standard Soul Cannon Shell?!"

It was the equivalent of throwing out five thousand pigs, only for them to cause the damage of a nuclear bomb.

No wonder Xu Tianran was shaken, and gripped by intense disbelief.

The dread came from the fact that if he had been caught in the explosion, even with a ninth-level Soul Guidance Barrier and an Invincible Shield on him, he would have been blown to pieces.

Because the explosion in the valley was continuous.

An eighth-level Standard Soul Cannon Shell was already enough to threaten the life of a Titled Douluo, let alone Xu Tianran, who was only a Soul Douluo.

A single eighth-level Standard Soul Cannon Shell was enough to reverse the outcome of a small-scale battle. It was a Great Vessel of the nation, and its enormous power came with an equally enormous cost.

Previously, the Sun Moon Empire and the White Lotus Sect had fought so fiercely, but the highest-level Standard Soul Cannon Shell to appear on the battlefield had only been seventh level. And that had been something Huo Yuhao obtained from the Prince's Mansion.
