The Heavenly Screen Debunked the Rumors Itself?! Douluo Could Perish at Any Moment? Longcang Held the Power to Destroy a Plane! Thirty Thousand Divine Cores Scoured the Galaxy! (1 / 2)

Inside the Purple-Gold Hall of Longcang's imperial capital.

They watched Qian Daoliu's glittering, arrogant "bullet comment" on the heavenly screen.

Standing below the dais, the Golden Crocodile King could no longer contain himself. He rubbed his gleaming bald head furiously with his palm-leaf-fan-sized hands and erupted into deafening laughter:

"Hahahahaha! You're killing me! Great Enshrined? Qian Daoliu? That old bastard really has lived long enough to grow a thick hide!"

The Golden Crocodile King laughed so hard that tears nearly streamed from his eyes. Pointing at the heavenly screen, he doubled over:

"He keeps going on about 'divine inheritances' and 'ultimately nothing but delusions'... that lofty, preachy stink is so strong it makes my scalp crawl!

"If he knew that His Majesty sitting on our dragon throne was an actual, living Supreme God King!

"I wonder which crack in his crotch he'd try to shove that old face into?!"

Beside him, the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King rolled his thick neck, a mocking smile hanging from his lips:

"The ignorant know no fear. He's spent tens of thousands of years hiding in the Worship Hall, guarding the Angel God's door, and now he really thinks he rules above the nine heavens."

Listening to his subordinates' unrestrained laughter, Ye Canghai could not help chuckling on the dragon throne. He leisurely blew across the tea leaves floating in his cup, his tone utterly untroubled:

"Let them be. When people have been scared out of their wits, they need a straw to cling to. Otherwise, how could they fool themselves into sleeping soundly?"

But beneath the Golden Crocodile King's laughter, his mischievous urge had become impossible to suppress.

Looking at the heavenly screen's control interface floating before him, he rubbed his thick fingers together and grinned, baring a mouthful of stark white teeth:

"No, keeping all this fun to ourselves is boring! This old servant has to give that old monster's beard a good, soothing stroke!"

Before his words had faded, the Golden Crocodile King jabbed wildly at the floating comment box, typing an outrageously sarcastic message and tossing it straight into the heavenly screen's public channel:

[Longcang Empire · Crocodile King: Oh, yes, yes, yes! You're absolutely right, you old bastard! This thing has one hell of a backlash and costs a bloody fortune. We tightened our belts and barely squeezed out one to keep up appearances, hahahahaha!]

Boom!

The instant that comment, bearing the glaring [Longcang Empire] prefix, swept across the vault of the nine heavens, every living being on Douluo Star sucked in a cold breath!

[They've spoken! The Longcang Continent... has permission to speak too?!]

[Someone from the Longcang Empire has spoken publicly for the first time!]

Whether in the secluded Sun Moon Empire or among Spirit Hall and the Two Great Empires, already engulfed in turmoil, countless powerhouses' nerves instantly stretched taut.

Yet after they read the speaker's ID and the message itself.

The expressions of the Douluo Continent's major factions became wonderfully varied, before a strange wave of laughter and wild delight erupted!

[Crocodile King? What kind of title is that? Judging by the name... could he be a crocodile Soul Beast?]

[Hahahaha! The mighty first-ranked continent actually sent a Soul Beast to speak? Could the Longcang Empire be some savage tribe that eats raw flesh and drinks blood, ruled by beasts?!]

[That's pathetic! All those big iron shells, and they haven't even learned civilized manners!]

The human Soul Masters who prided themselves on their noble bloodlines instantly recovered their long-lost sense of superiority, and mockery rose from every direction.

Then the contents of that message "cured" them completely!

Many even subconsciously ignored the sarcastic "hahahahaha," stubbornly treating the message as a lifesaving elixir:

[Everyone, look! Look at the rest of what he said!]

[He admitted it! A senior figure from the Longcang Empire personally stepped forward and admitted it!]

[It costs a fortune! There's only one! The Great Enshrined's guess was spot-on! Hahahaha, they really only have one trump card!]

Inside the grand hall of the Heaven Dou Imperial Palace.

Yu Xiaogang leaped three feet into the air as though possessed!

His face flushed crimson with excitement, and he waved his hands wildly, nearly spraying spittle onto Xue Ye's dragon robe:

"Your Majesty! Sect Master Ning! My lords! Look!"

Every muscle in Yu Xiaogang's body twitched violently. His chin lifted high as he sank into an almost deranged conceit:

"I told you! When have my theories ever been wrong?! How precise was the Great Enshrined's insight?!"

"Their own man let it slip and confessed!

"Without the foundation of the great Dao of supreme Soul Power, relying on external tools and mechanisms, making even one leaves them bankrupt, their oil spent and their lamps burned dry!

"How could they compete with our Douluo Continent's ten thousand years of Martial Soul heritage?!"

"Truth! This is absolute truth!"

Xue Ye clapped his hands and laughed heartily, feeling refreshed from head to toe.

Ning Fengzhi's furrowed brows finally relaxed as well. He calmly closed his folding fan, his eyes filled with the satisfaction of having been proven right.

Deep within the Worship Hall in Spirit City.

Watching the comment, even the usually unsmiling Qian Daoliu could not suppress a knowing smile of complete confidence.

He gently stroked the silver beard beneath his chin, his golden angel wings spreading slightly as he snorted inwardly:

In the end, they're merely a bunch of upstarts with no composure. This old man exposed their bluff with a single remark, and they jumped out in a furious panic to confess...

The complacency and jubilation of the entire Douluo Continent reached their peak at that moment!

It was as though that nuclear bomb had already become worthless scrap that Douluo's Soul Masters could crush beneath their feet at will.

However—

Before their smiles had even had three full seconds to bloom!

Dooong—!!!

The heavenly screen above the nine heavens suddenly shuddered!

A terrifying drone, like the tolling of the universe's funeral bell, abruptly silenced every clamor and cheer throughout the plane!

It was no ordinary notification, but a blood-red alarm signaling extreme danger, making the laws of the entire plane tremble violently!

The whole heavenly screen instantly became a dazzling sea of crimson blood, so vivid it seemed about to drip.

Line after line of blood-colored Dao script, a hundred times larger than Qian Daoliu's golden comment.

With incomparable mockery and coldness, they smashed down like the heavens collapsing:

[Debunking and correction: In response to the narrow understanding of Strategic Nuclear Weapons among the Douluo Continent's native powerhouses, the heavenly screen hereby issues a factual correction!]

[Strategic stockpile disclosure—Longcang Empire · Conventional God-Slaying Strategic Arsenal!]

Buzzz—!

The image seemed to be forcibly cleaved apart by a divine axe!

The view pierced through the Longcang Empire's mountains and terrain at light speed, plunging straight into the unfathomable depths of the planet's core, tens of thousands of miles below!

The next instant, everyone across the Douluo Continent and the Sun Moon Continent, and even all the deities in the Divine Realm above the nine heavens, stopped breathing!

It was a... metal abyss, an industrial miracle beyond description!

Tens of thousands of meters underground lay not darkness and magma, but an Underground Launch Base stretching for tens of thousands of miles, radiating a cold industrial glow!

Metal launch silos as massive as mountains stood densely packed at the heart of the leylines, stretching beyond sight like an endless forest of steel!

The heavenly screen's camera rapidly zoomed along a rail running beneath the continent—

There, tens of thousands of military manufacturing systems, composed of fully automated Divine-Level Puppets and assembly lines, spewed cold arcs of high-energy ions.

On the conveyor belts lay one black-and-gold nuclear warhead after another, hundreds of meters long and covered in Spatial Annihilation Runes.

Like cans on an industrial production line, they were assembled without pause, rolled off the lines, and slid into the ammunition depots!

Those densely packed clusters of warheads, stretching beyond the horizon, beneath the dark red warning lights.

Radiated a baleful aura of destruction that made the entire universe tremble!

The heavenly screen's cold, emotionless mechanical narration resounded through heaven and earth.

Like hundreds of millions of heavy hammers, it smashed brutally into the crowns of Qian Daoliu and everyone throughout Douluo:

[Current live inventory:]

["God-slaying-grade · spatial-fission world-destroying Soul Guidance Nuclear Weapons"—Longcang Empire's current combat-ready stockpile: 36,000!]

[Regular annual output: 1,200!]

[Reserve derivative models: advanced strategic payloads including the "Antimatter Microscopic Annihilation Bomb" (divine-grade), the "Star-Ring Leyline-Crushing Bomb," and others, totaling 480!]

Before the living beings of the entire plane could recover from that terrifying production-line figure of "36,000"—

Boom!

The sky-spanning image on the heavenly screen abruptly pulled back, instantly switching from the planetary core to an ultra-wide holographic simulation encompassing all of Douluo Star and the surrounding void!

[Heavenly screen predictive simulation: If the Longcang Empire deploys its current strategic stockpile for a saturation strike—full-plane live exercise commencing!]

With that utterly flat mechanical announcement, the entire heavenly screen abruptly transformed into a world-destroying projection filled with death and the red glare of the apocalypse!

Within the simulated exercise, the entire Douluo Plane floated silently in the dark, fathomless void of the universe.

The very next instant—

The surface of the Longcang Continent burst open!

Thousands of gigantic underground launch silos ignited in the same second!

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh—!!!

Countless streaks of black light tore through the atmosphere and shot skyward, their densely woven exhaust trails forming a web of death that blotted out the entire heavens.

Only after the brilliant flash came the belated punishment of heaven!
