Shrek Academy.
Tang San, Dai Mubai, Ning Rongrong, and the others all jolted in shock at the sight of such soul guidance technology.
They had never dreamed of soul guidance technology like this in their entire lives!
But once the shock passed, they exchanged glances, each seeing the same thing in the others' eyes.
Ambition.
If they, too, could master soul tool technology...
The great powers behind them would reach heights never seen before or since, claiming supremacy for all eternity!
Even for their own sake, they could earn a place in the memories of generations to come!
Because they would be the ones who pioneered soul guidance technology!
At that moment, the same thought arose in all their minds.
They had to go to the Holy Spirit Continent.
To take a look!
To see the wider world for themselves!
Holy Spirit Temple.
Holy Eye Muse gazed at the Heavenly Screen over the Douluo Continent region and covered her lips with a soft laugh.
"These people must be scared senseless!"
"After all, that first trump card they're so proud of is utterly insignificant before our soul guidance technology!"
Holy War Gaia scoffed.
"That ancient continent of theirs probably can't handle this!"
Malefic Star folded his arms, his tone brimming with the anticipated mockery.
"When frogs at the bottom of a well see the world outside, how could they not fall apart?"
Upon the Throne, however, Lin Yan's gaze rested on the Heavenly Screen over the Holy Spirit Continent region.
He watched the steel behemoth lying across the coastal waters, the fleet of aircraft spreading their wings through the vast sky, and the Soul Guidance Celestial Eye locking onto the Douluo Continent in an instant.
Even he was somewhat surprised.
He had not expected soul guidance technology to have developed so quickly.
It seemed that before long...
Holy Spirit would no longer be merely the name of this planet.
It would be the name of the entire star system!
"For this, we have that woman to thank."
Lin Yan smiled faintly, a trace of undisguised appreciation flashing through his eyes.
"Lingxiao."
Naturally, the soul masters of the Holy Spirit Continent would not let this opportunity for mockery slip by.
[Meng Jiu: What's wrong? Wet yourselves in fright?] [Old Wang: Didn't you say we couldn't find you? Looks like you weren't hiding all that well after all!] [Xiao Tian: Have you seen the power of our soul tools now? Did you really think our soul tools could only be used for one kind of combat? Ridiculous primitives!] [Soul Guidance Temple: Ignorant soul masters of the Douluo Continent, listen carefully!] [Soul Guidance Temple: Our soul tools have never developed in just one field. Combat, medicine, exploration, construction... they are an all-encompassing extension of a civilization. Understand?] [Soul Guidance Temple: Forget it. I won't say any more. No matter how much I say, you won't understand. Only firsthand experience will teach you what a gap truly means!]
With that, she said no more.
The soul guidance components around her lit up one after another, deep blue pathways of light spreading beneath her feet.
Whoosh!
Before the eyes of everyone on the Douluo Continent, her entire body became a streak of light. She vanished from where she stood and entered the command center within the Jingming.
Only then did the people of the Douluo Continent recover from their shock at the soul tools.
There was an even more serious problem!
The other side already knew their location!!!!
Their proud first line of hidden defenses had been laid completely bare with effortless ease!
They were finished!
This time, they were truly finished!
Within Shrek Academy, Yu Xiaogang could sense the morale of the entire Douluo Continent crumbling at a speed visible to the naked eye.
If this continued, the entire continent would scare itself to death before the enemy even attacked!
His thoughts raced. He immediately connected to the Heavenly Screen and spoke.
[Yu Xiaogang: Don't panic! So what if they know our location? We still have a god!] [Yu Xiaogang: Just as High Priestess Bo Saixi said, the Sea God is a god who ascended from our very own Douluo Continent. He certainly won't abandon the lower realm. Everyone, hold steady! Don't panic!] [Sea God Island Priestess Saixi: Well said. There is no need to fear. The Sea God will protect us!] [Sea God Island Priestess Saixi: Moreover, when the Heavenly Screen zoomed in just now, I clearly saw the soul tool in Lingxiao's hand. If they wish to reach the Douluo Continent, they must pass through our Sea God Island! Do not panic, everyone. Just watch how our Sea God drives back the enemy!]
At those words, the soul masters of the Douluo Continent finally felt some of the weight lift from their anxious hearts.
That was right!
If the enemy wanted to attack, they would first have to get past Sea God Island!
And behind Sea God Island stood a genuine god-the Sea God!
[Ning Fengzhi: Whew, they nearly scared me out of my wits. I feel much more relaxed now!] [Tang Xiao: What a pity. If they dared come, I could smash them to death with a single blow of my hammer. Unfortunately, before they even reach the Douluo Continent, the Sea God of Sea God Island will take them down. Such a pity!] [Gu Rong: Hahahaha! If they actually came, wouldn't you blow up?] [Tang Xiao: If you can't say anything decent, keep your mouth shut!] [Yu Yuanzhen: All right, all right, don't frighten Tang Xiao. This fellow is timid and can't take a scare. Hahahaha!]
Holy Spirit Continent, aboard the Jingming.
In the command center, before the enormous observation window.
Through the glass, Lingxiao quietly watched the golden Heavenly Screen spanning the sky outside.
Sea God Island?
Very good.
Let's see which is stronger-your god or my soul tools!
"Is everything ready?"
A steady voice came from behind her.
Lingxiao turned to look.
Ao Che, Jun Mowen, Chaos Demon Lord, and Holy Thunder.
All four lords were present.
The one who had spoken was Holy Thunder.
Lingxiao cupped her hands and reported in a clear voice.
"Lord Rey, all soul tools are ready. The ship's three hundred and sixty secondary cannons, twenty-five Sky-Splitting Fighters, and all other equipment are fully charged!"
"We await only the orders of you two lords."
Beside them, Chaos Demon Lord stood with his hands behind his back, black energy slowly curling around him.
"The small fry are yours."
"I excel only at killing. Decide everything else yourself."
Holy Thunder gave a helpless, wry smile.
"All right."
Then he looked at Lingxiao and nodded.
"Give the order."
Lingxiao turned toward the center of the command console, the flowing light in her eyes flaring brilliantly.
She raised her hand and swept it down in a crisp, decisive motion.
"Move out! Target: Douluo Continent!"
As her words rang out!
Hum!!
The entire Jingming abruptly shuddered!
At the stern, twelve enormous soul guidance propulsion arrays lit up in succession.
Deep blue flames erupted thunderously from their nozzles, joining together across the stern like twelve miniature suns!
Those thrusters were named Chasing Light!
Rumble!!!
Savage thrust poured forth, plowing two immense, ten-thousand-zhang-deep trenches through the sea.
The entire thousand-meter warship became a streak of silver-gray light and burst through the waves!
Its speed reached the absolute limit!
Seawater rolled back on either side like towering walls, while its exhaust flames tore a straight corridor through the clouds on the horizon.
At that moment, the coastal waters of the Holy Spirit Continent gave way to the army!
And they would teach the soul masters across the sea what Nuclear Peace meant!
What it meant for all living beings to be equal beneath Soul Cannon Shells!
