The Sun Moon Empire's Level of Soul Tool Technology

"Think about it. If this sword-shaped Soul Tool were paired with a powerful Soul Master with a sword Martial Soul, it could unleash even greater power.

It could be said that Soul Tools are humanity's future. Even if some people were born only able to cultivate to around the Soul King or Soul Ancestor level, with powerful Soul Tools, they could still possess the strength of a Soul Saint.

That was the charm of Soul Tools.

But the problem was that those people from the Douluo Three Kingdoms had always looked down on Soul Tools. Only the Star Luo Empire was still willing to develop them somewhat. If this continued, then once the Sun Moon Empire's Soul Tools fully developed to the point where they could contend with experts like Quasi-Gods and Demigods, the Douluo Three Kingdoms would surely be annihilated by the Sun Moon Empire."

Jing Hongchen had always understood clearly that the Sun Moon Empire's Soul Tools currently had no way to contend with experts such as Demigods and Quasi-Gods.

The Sun Moon Empire's Soul Tool technology in its "early stage" (from Huo Yuhao entering Shrek to Mingde Hall's peak, before Kong Deming officially took action) could "threaten/heavily wound/trade lives with" Limit Douluo, but it could not yet touch the Demigod level, much less the Quasi-God level (below First-Level Gods, from Second-Level Gods to Quasi-Gods).

What allowed it to fight Limit Douluo was saturation bombardment through the coordination of "Level-Nine Fixed Soul Cannon Shells plus Level-Nine Soul Engineer legions," not individual Soul Tools overpowering them head-on. Demigod-level figures, such as the later Huo Yuhao, Mu En at his peak as the Dragon God Douluo, and Ye Xishui after releasing the Death God Tower, already required Level-Ten Soul Tools and Level-Ten Soul Engineers merely to challenge.
