Crimson Typhoon Battles the Purple Brilliant Heaven Destroying Dragon! A Level 9 Soul Tool! Ultimate Water and Fire!
Across the sky, comments flew wildly. Ling Hongchen, dean of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy, had no time to send a message through official channels, so he posted his request among the comments.
Heaven-Destroying Douluo and Silver Moon Douluo both saw Ling Hongchen's message in the Sun Moon Continent Section.
They exchanged a glance, then turned their eyes toward the crimson mecha!
Inside Crimson Typhoon's cockpit, the handsome Ye Gucheng sat dressed in white. He regarded the two Titled Douluo before him with a cold gaze, without a trace of fear in his eyes.
"I am Ye Gucheng, pilot of Crimson Typhoon and vanguard of the Blue Silver Empire's Wanderer fleet. Friends from the Sun Moon Continent, please release Swift!"
"I repeat: release your control over Swift!"
Neither Titled Douluo hesitated. They paid Ye Gucheng's words no heed.
Ye Gucheng had already seen through their intentions. Still, he had to follow procedure, or his imperial father would scold him when he returned.
Across the sky, the people and leaders of the Blue Silver Continent were applying pressure as well.
[Blue Silver Continent · Royal Fleet · Zhu Dahai]:
"Those who dare threaten our empire shall be put to death, however far away they may be!"
"People of the Sun Moon Continent, I advise you to send Swift back. If you truly provoke a clash between our empires, the Blue Silver Empire's cannon fire will wipe you out!"
[Blue Silver Continent · Ordinary Resident · Wang Laoda]:
"The Blue Silver Empire doesn't seek trouble, but we don't fear it either. People of the Sun Moon Continent, don't try to provoke us. You cannot bear the consequences!"
[Douluo Continent · Resting Fire Phoenix · Ma Hongjun]:
"Anyone can talk big! That hulking thing only looks scary!
"In the end, it's just a pile of cold scrap metal! Against two Titled Douluo, I don't believe you'd dare make a move!
"Brothers of the Sun Moon Continent, I'm backing you! Take down that Blue Silver Empire behemoth!!"
[Douluo Continent · Evil-Eyed Lecherous Tiger · Dai Mubai]:
"He has a point! However powerful a Soul Tool is, it's still an inanimate object. Titled Douluo are among the strongest on the continent!
"Two Titled Douluo working together can't take down one mecha?
"I'll wager a hundred Gold Soul Coins that the Sun Moon Continent's Titled Douluo win!"
[Douluo Continent · Theory Grandmaster · Yu Xiaogang]:
"Soul-engineered creations have their limits. Cultivation of Soul Power has none.
"I've studied Soul Master theory since birth. My Ten Core Competencies are unrivaled under heaven. With nearly fifty years of experience and accumulated knowledge,
"I conclude that the Titled Douluo will certainly win."
The comments were full of people eager to stir up trouble and provoke a fight between the Blue Silver Continent and the Sun Moon Continent. Those from the Douluo Continent were the loudest of all.
They wanted the collision between the two continents to prove something: just how powerful was that mecha?
As the Blue Silver Continent's people pressed their case in the comments and those from the Douluo Continent watched and fanned the flames, another comment appeared, igniting the strangely quiet battlefield.
[Sun Moon Continent · Sun Moon Empire Emperor · Xu Rulin]:
"Heaven-Destroying, Silver Moon, bring that mecha back. I'll bear all the consequences!!"
His words sent the entire crowd into an uproar.
Heaven-Destroying Douluo and Silver Moon Douluo exchanged a glance after seeing the message. Battle lust and gravity filled both their eyes.
The frustration of struggling to capture that tiny reconnaissance craft still lingered. Facing a mecha that looked clearly more powerful, they had cast aside every trace of contempt.
Yet Ye Gucheng, seated in the cockpit, seemed not to have seen the comment drift past. He remained suspended in midair.
"I'll repeat myself one last time. Release Swift. The Blue Silver Continent has no desire to make an enemy of you!"
"Enough talk. You're spying on the Sun Moon Continent's coastline. Do you think we don't know what the Blue Silver Empire is plotting? Let our strength decide this!"
Though their aim was to capture the mecha for further research, the Sun Moon Empire had to claim the moral high ground.
As soon as Silver Moon Douluo finished speaking, both Titled Douluo struck. Eighteen Soul Rings appeared behind them!
Yellow, yellow, purple, purple, black, black, black, black, black!!
Both Douluo possessed optimal Soul Ring Configurations. Heaven-Destroying Douluo roared, and the phantom of the Purple Brilliant Heaven Destroying Dragon erupted behind him. A towering flood of purple-black, destruction-infused Soul Power poured into his body. With Martial Soul Possession active, his dragon aura surged skyward, its might shaking the heavens!
He shaped one hand into a claw. A purple-black dragon claw tore through the air and hurtled toward Crimson Typhoon with destructive force!
Silver Moon Douluo attacked at the same time. Silver moonlight gathered into countless threads that shot forward, as though to seal off every route Crimson Typhoon could take to evade them!
At the center of the battlefield,
the crimson mecha hung in the air. Soul Power began to surge across its streamlined armor, amplified bit by bit through intricate Soul Guidance Arrays until it gathered in the Water God Cannon on its shoulder!
The Water God Cannon was a top-tier Level 9 Soul Tool in its own right. On Crimson Typhoon, it was merely a secondary weapon.
Once its Soul Power charge was complete, a deep blue sheen spread across the Water God Cannon. The next instant, the amplified Soul Power erupted, condensing into a stream of water no thicker than a thumb.
Infused with Ultimate Water Soul Power and compressed under immense pressure, that water jet could slice through the hardest metal in the world in an instant!!
The blue stream was blindingly fast. It reached Heaven-Destroying Douluo almost instantly!
Alarm flared in his heart. His Seventh Soul Ring flashed at once, and he raised his right arm to block on instinct!
"Seventh Soul Skill—Heavenly Dragon Avatar!!"
"Fifth Soul Skill—World-Destroying Dragon Claw!"
Yet in that instant, dragon scales flew. Even with the combined defense of his Martial Soul Avatar and Fifth Soul Skill, the water jet, compressed to the limit, stripped nearly every scale from his right arm!!
"Aaaaah!!"
Agony shot from his right hand to his brain. Heaven-Destroying Douluo roared.
The pain drove him beyond reason. His Eighth Soul Ring flashed. Transformed by his Martial Soul Avatar into a colossal purple-black dragon, he began gathering destructive power within his jaws!
With Silver Moon Douluo's moonlit threads binding the mecha, his Eighth Soul Skill—Destruction Dragon Breath—would be enough to grievously damage it!!
He would have his revenge!
But in the next instant, the blade more than ten meters long in Crimson Typhoon's hand blazed red like molten lava.
Crimson Typhoon had a nickname: Thunderbolt Fire.
The giant blade in its hand was Crimson Typhoon's main weapon, the Level 9 Soul Tool known as the Blazing Flame Blade.
Forged chiefly from the spine of a two-hundred-thousand-year-old Magma Earth Dragon, it possessed the power to command Ultimate Fire!!
As thread after thread of silver moonlight closed around the mecha, the Blazing Flame Blade, now seemingly aflame, began to move.
Wind and fire howled. Scalding waves of heat drew roaring steam from the Soul Guidance engine. The blade traced a semicircle through the air, like a flawless crescent moon, before becoming one matchless strike!
The waning moon was cold as frost; the bursting flames bore the force of ten thousand jun!
Wildfire—Hundred Slashes!!
