Ju Zi's Pregnancy, the Sun and Moon's Humiliation, "Prince" Xu Yunhan!

In the scene, the Sun Moon Empire reacted with lightning speed.

Hundreds of high-level Soul Engineers rapidly ascended, forming a massive phalanx.

"Linked Soul Tool—Soul power energy converged. Fire!"

That was one of the Sun Moon Empire's trump cards: concentrating the power of hundreds of Soul Engineers into a single point, an attack capable of erasing a small mountain.

A dark red beam of light, over ten meters in diameter, shot toward Huo Yuhao with a destructive aura.

However, Huo Yuhao did not even lift an eyelid.

Behind him, three divine artifacts manifested simultaneously.

The God-Slaying Halberd flickered with a sinister blood-red light, carrying an aura of endless slaughter as if it intended to cleave the sky of Ming Capital in two.

The Life God-Slaying Sword emitted a verdant glow—the essence of ultimate life and ultimate judgment.

The Eye of Destiny looked down upon all living beings, stripping away all fortune.

"This kind of primitive accumulation of energy, you dare call this an attack?"

Huo Yuhao let out a cold snort. With a light sweep of the God-Slaying Halberd, a pitch-black rift appeared.

When the world-destroying beam approached within a hundred meters of him, it disintegrated in a bizarre fashion, dissolving into fragments of pure soul power that dissipated into the air.

"This is the power of divine artifacts... This level of disparity cannot be bridged by mere numbers."

Outside the Sky Screen, within the Sea God Pavilion of Shrek Academy, Yan Shaozhe and the others were already numb.

Huo Yuhao flashed, landing in the center of the grand hall.

Two Title Douluo who attempted to intercept him—Xu Tianran's pride, the "Shadow Guards"—did not even see his movements before their throats were slit by the Life God-Slaying Sword, their soul power and vitality drained in an instant.

"You... you are Huo Yuhao? You actually dare..."

Xu Tianran crawled on the ground in terror; he could never have imagined that the young man he once deemed insignificant had now become a reaper of souls.

Huo Yuhao looked down at him, his eyes devoid of a shred of pity.

"Originally, a piece of trash like you wasn't worth my time. But to make room for my son, you must die."

"Pfft!"

The Life God-Slaying Sword descended, and Xu Tianran's head soared into the sky.

The ambitious man of the Sun Moon Empire never understood, even in death, why the power of soul technology was so feeble before a true powerhouse.

Immediately after, Huo Yuhao turned his head to look at Ju Zi, who was huddled in the corner, her face deathly pale.

He revealed an evil, icy smile.

"Empress, come with me. The position in your belly needs someone else to sit in it. Oh, I almost forgot, your 'husband' is a eunuch; he was never capable of sitting in that seat to begin with."

Before the eyes of the crowd, Huo Yuhao sealed Ju Zi's soul power and carried her away like a trophy.

"Stop him! Stop him at any cost!"

The Sun Moon Empire's counterattack finally arrived.

Kong Deming, leading the Soul Engineer armies gathered from Sun Rise City and Moon City, along with the most elite Sun Moon Imperial Soul Engineer Legion from Ming Capital, intercepted the retreating Body Sect army at West Mountain.

Seeing Kong Deming clad in a humanoid Soul Tool never seen before, and that Sun Moon Imperial Soul Engineer Legion floating in the sky—the legendary force said to be capable of hunting even the Beast God Di Tian—a look of gravity flashed across Du Busi's face.

"Huo Yuhao, release the Empress! Otherwise, you and the entire Body Sect will perish here!"

Kong Deming manipulated his Silver Moon Divine Light Shield, his aged voice laced with chill. The Soul Engineer legion behind him immediately activated their strongest linked attack mode, the entire sky illuminated as bright as day by the glow of soul tools.

"Kong Deming, your understanding of technology is far too shallow."

Huo Yuhao hovered in mid-air, still clutching the unconscious Ju Zi.

He looked down at the Soul Engineer legion with indifference.

"Today, I will teach you what 'true violence' is."

Huo Yuhao extended his right hand, and the silver light within the Eye of Destiny instantly turned violent.

[Body Martial Soul Third Awakening Mystery: Soul Nuclear Blast!]

In an instant, thousands of Soul Engineers felt their brains buzz.

The previously seamless linked array suffered a fatal disruption due to the mental interference.

"No! Energy backflow!" Kong Deming screamed.

"Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom!"

Above West Mountain, the Sun Moon Empire's most elite legion erupted into brilliant fireworks. It was the result of their own power spiraling out of control within their bodies.

Huo Yuhao strolled through the destructive explosions as if taking a leisurely walk. With every palm strike, a Level 9 Soul Engineer attempting to stop him fell, or vast swathes of the soul tool army were turned into ice sculptures.

Even many soul tool facilities exploded directly under the fluctuations of his mental power.

It was a slaughter.

In the end, Kong Deming crawled out from the rubble, covered in blood.

His Silver Moon Divine Light Shield could no longer be deployed, having been nearly destroyed by a single strike from Huo Yuhao. Though he remained alive, the pride of a Level 10 Soul Engineer had been trampled into the mud.

Huo Yuhao landed before him, three divine artifacts circling his body.

He did not kill Kong Deming, instead looking at this guardian deity of the empire with a gaze that bordered on charity.

"I will not kill you. Go back and tell those old fogies in the Sun Moon Empire that I am giving you a chance to rethink who the true master of this continent should be."

"For this battle, I am only taking Ju Zi and Xu Tianran's head. In one year, I will return to collect the debt."

Across the entire continent outside the Sky Screen, there was a deathly silence.

The pride of the Sun Moon Empire, the pride of all soul masters, was thoroughly shattered on this day!

"Ho... how could he be this strong..."

Outside the Sky Screen, Starry Sky Douluo Ye Yulin stared at the scattered fragments of soul tools on the ground within the projection and muttered.

"No, it's impossible, it shouldn't be like this. The Elder Kong of the future has already become a Rank 10 Soul Master; that was the true form of a Rank 10 soul tool according to our deductions, the Life-Bound Soul Tool. And yet, Elder Kong still lost at his hands? Is the Body Martial Soul truly this powerful?"

Jing Hongchen's eyes also widened, his face etched with disbelief.

Time within the Sky Screen flowed rapidly.

One year later.

When the image brightened once more, the headquarters of the Body Sect had become solemn and austere.

Huo Yuhao sat upon the Sect Master's throne, and beside him stood Ju Zi, expressionless and even carrying a hint of numbness.

In Ju Zi's arms, she cradled a wailing infant.

"Whose child is that?"

Outside the Sky Screen, the citizens of the Sun Moon Empire were whispering in heated discussion.

But anyone with a brain could calculate that Ju Zi had not been pregnant when she was taken away; whose child could it be if she was holding one a year later?

"Huo Yuhao! You beast!"

Outside the Sky Screen, the royals of the Sun Moon Empire were so enraged they spat blood. Xu Tianran himself nearly fainted on the spot, slamming his hand down so hard he cracked his own wheelchair.

This was nothing short of defecating on the head of the Sun Moon Empire and demanding they hand over the toilet paper!
