The sky split open with a massive gash, revealing countless black stars within, forming a bizarre contrast against the clear blue heavens. Beneath the vast sword might of Moment of Heaven and Earth, space shattered like crystal.
"Heavens, is this divine punishment...?"
The Emperor Dragon Soul Tool Master Legion was terrified beyond measure and desperately raised their linked defensive soul tool barrier.
"Boom—"
Sword Might · Moment of Heaven and Earth and the ninth-grade fixed soul cannon shell Sky Splitter represented, respectively, the ultimate realm of soul masters and the pinnacle craftsmanship of soul engineers. Their collision instantly transformed the outskirts of Risheng City into an ocean of interwoven gold and blue.
Before that heaven-wrath-like explosion, the linked defensive soul tool barrier was as fragile as thin paper. Accompanied by a piercing sound like cloth being torn apart, the soul engineers of the Emperor Dragon Soul Tool Master Legion spat out mouthfuls of blood, jointly suffering the backlash of the shattered link.
Dazzling sword light descended through the lingering shockwaves. Without the protection of the linked soul tool barrier, dozens of fourth- and fifth-level soul engineers were instantly decapitated. Even a vice commander at the level of an eight-ringed Soul Douluo was crushed apart by the Sword Intent · Heavenly Radiance attached to Moment of Heaven and Earth.
Xu Tianyuan roared, layers of silver light flashing across his body. The ninth-grade soul tool barrier and Invincible Barrier were activated at once!
"Sshh—"
Every barrier split neatly into two semicircles. A golden line extended from his brow down through his torso, and Xu Tianyuan's towering body separated into two halves, dissolving into specks of golden light between heaven and earth.
"Commander!"
Only the Emperor Dragon Soul Tool Master Legion members at the fringes had survived through their various soul tool barriers.
