Chapter 349 Eight Rings, Contra?
The Sun-Moon Empire Palace, a magnificent complex of buildings that symbolizes the supreme power of the empire, is being torn apart by a sudden force.
This force does not come from natural disasters or external troops, but from a commando team composed of elite soul masters.
They are not numerous, but each of them has the terrifying strength of a seven-ring soul saint.
They are dressed in uniform black tights, with masks on their faces, revealing only a pair of sharp eyes like hawks.
A quarter of an hour ago, this commando team quietly sneaked into the palace.
Under the cover of the night, they shuttled between pavilions and towers like ghosts, avoiding layers of guards.
They have only one goal, which is the imperial study deep in the palace - the residence of Xu Tianran, the crown prince of the Sun-Moon Empire.
The battle started the moment they stepped into the palace.
Facing the elite soul masters, soul mentors and guards in the palace, these commandos showed amazing combat effectiveness.
They acted decisively, each move was fatal, and each attack took a life.
Although the guards in the palace fought desperately, they were like moths to a flame, unable to stop the invaders.
Blood dyed the golden and magnificent palace ground red.
Screams echoed in the silent night sky.
These commandos were like sharp knives, tearing through the palace's defenses with unstoppable force.
Their pace was firm and steady, without any hesitation or pause, and their goal was directly aimed at the imperial study where the crown prince Xu Tianran was.
At the front of the team, a slender young man was rushing forward at an astonishing speed.
The soul power fluctuations on his body were strong and overbearing, like a burning flame.
Wherever he passed, the guards didn't even have time to react, and were blown away by the soul power shock wave he released, and their lives and deaths were unknown.
This young man was Long Aotian, the leader of the younger generation of the body sect.
He had a powerful body martial soul, which could change his skin into various forms, and was terrifying in both attack and defense. At this moment, he was releasing his strength with all his strength, sprinting towards the imperial study like a black lightning.
Long Aotian took a step forward, and the solid bluestone pavement broke under his feet, making a tooth-grinding sound.
He stretched out his arms, like an eagle spreading its wings, and his muscles were tense, as if he was full of explosive power.
He roared, and the sound echoed over the battlefield like thunder, making the windows of the surrounding buildings buzz.
His skin, at this moment, became his most powerful weapon, with a layer of metallic luster.
This layer of luster was not evenly distributed, but flowed like water waves with his movements, sometimes showing a cold and hard color like steel, and sometimes turning into a simple texture like bronze.
He suddenly threw a punch, and there was an explosion in the air, and a visible air wave spread in all directions with his fist as the center.
Wherever the wind wave passed, the soldiers of the Sun-Moon Empire who had no time to dodge were thrown out involuntarily like fallen leaves blown up by the wind, and fell heavily on the ground in the distance, wailing in pain.
Facing the soul-guided rays coming from the front, he just twisted his body sideways and easily dodged them.
Those rays fell on the building behind him, exploding into balls of dazzling fire, but they could not hurt him at all.
His body moved flexibly on the battlefield, like a nimble cheetah, moving freely among the enemy groups. Every time he attacked, it brought a storm of blood and rain. Those soldiers of the Sun-Moon Empire who were touched by him all had broken bones and muscles, and fell to the ground screaming.
Above his head, a bright moon exuded a soft silver glow, and the moonlight seemed to have life, turning into beams of light, accurately locking onto the soul-guided cannons that were being charged.
Under the irradiation of the beam, the energy circuit of the soul guide cannon quickly overloaded, emitting a piercing alarm, and then emitting puffs of black smoke, completely paralyzed.
"Help me to ascend. Amplify!" A delicate cry sounded behind Long Aotian, the voice was crisp and pleasant, but it contained unquestionable majesty.
Hearing the voice, Long Aotian turned around suddenly, bent his legs slightly, and prepared to meet the impact. The next moment, a slender figure landed lightly on his shoulders.
The figure was wearing a light blue dress, and her long black hair was tied into a high ponytail behind her head, swaying gently with her movements.
On her delicate face, a pair of bright big eyes flashed with wisdom, her cherry lips opened slightly, her breath was like orchid, and she directed the amplification soul master behind her.
Dozens of lights of different colors gathered from all directions, completely covering this figure.
These lights came from different soul amplification masters, and each light represented an amplification effect, strength, speed, defense, mental strength... Various amplifications were superimposed together, making the momentum of this figure rise step by step, and soon reached a heart-pounding level.
The next moment, this figure had risen into the air like lightning.
The dark night was torn apart by silver-white lights, like a sharp blade of the gods cutting through the silence of the night. The light became more and more intense, as if a new star was born in the night sky.
The bright moon before, now rendered by the dazzling silver light, has become a huge silver moon, hanging high in the sky, emitting a cold and majestic brilliance. It is bigger and brighter than any moon before, as if a star has really descended to the earth, covering the whole world with its brilliance.
The silver moonlight poured down like water, reflecting the earth in a silvery white, but also highlighting the deeper darkness around.
Wherever the moonlight reaches, the air twists and breaks violently, making a sharp and piercing explosion, as if the space itself is overwhelmed by this powerful force.
And around this huge silver moon, a circle of absolute dark vacuum is formed, no matter can exist in it, even light is swallowed up, forming a heart-pounding black halo.
The figure bathed in the silver moonlight, as if a god has descended to the earth.
She slowly raised her hands and made a strange gesture in front of her chest. Her ten fingers were slender and slender, but contained a heart-pounding powerful force.
As she moved, the originally dim blood-red halo on her body, which was ranked last, suddenly lit up, emitting a strange light, as if it was a blood-red flame from the depths of hell, burning behind her.
The blood-red light became stronger and stronger, gradually rendering the surrounding silver moonlight, and dyeing the originally cold silver moon with a layer of shocking blood color.
The silver moon turned into a blood moon, foreshadowing the upcoming bloody storm. A disgusting fishy and sweet smell spread from the sky, as if the blood of countless creatures gathered together to form a sea of blood, which was about to swallow up the whole world.
The soldiers below, whether they were attacking the city or defending the city, were stunned by this sudden change. They stared blankly at the strange phenomenon in the sky, their eyes full of horror and fear.
The strong smell of blood made them feel nauseous, as if they had foreseen the tragic fate they were about to face.
Not only those ordinary soldiers, but also those battle-hardened generals and even those high-ranking soul masters were all shocked by this powerful force.
They stared at the figure in the sky, their hearts full of doubts and uneasiness. They had never seen such a terrifying power, and they could not imagine where this power came from.
The dozens of amplified lights, coming from different soul guides and different soul skills, fell on the figure without reservation at this moment, providing her with a steady stream of power.
These lights were colorful and intertwined together to form a gorgeous light column, which made the figure more majestic and sacred.
Among these many lights, the most conspicuous one was a pagoda suspended in the air.
The pagoda had seven floors, which were crystal clear and emitted soft white light.
At this moment, the five floors of the pagoda were all shining brightly, and five dazzling colored lights gushed out of the tower, like five colorful dragons, hovering around the figure, providing her with a powerful power increase.
These five dazzling lights are the most amplified of all, representing the highest achievement of human soul guide technology.
Xu Tianran also saw this shocking blood moon. His deep eyes shrank slightly, and a trace of subtle solemnity flashed in his eyes.
He murmured to himself: "Eight rings, Soul Douluo?" There was a hint of disbelief and deep fear in his tone.
Orange, who was beside him, had not hesitated to stand in front of him when the blood moon appeared, and protected him firmly behind her.
Her face was solemn, and her beautiful eyes were full of vigilance and worry.
The strong sense of oppression in the sky made her feel palpitations, as if she was going to be torn apart.
Although a round of golden soul guide shields had risen from the surroundings, protecting her and Xu Tianran firmly in it. The golden shield exuded a powerful energy fluctuation, which was the defense power of the ninth-level soul guide device, enough to withstand any attack.
But for some reason, Orange still didn't feel at ease. She always felt an inexplicable uneasiness, as if something terrible was about to happen.
At this moment, suddenly, a loud phoenix cry resounded through the sky, breaking the tranquility of the night sky and temporarily dispelling the fear and anxiety in everyone's hearts.
A strong dark red light suddenly rose from another courtyard on the side of Xu Tianran's study, like a volcanic eruption, rushing straight into the sky with the power of destroying the world.
After the dark red light rose, it quickly transformed into a dark phoenix with dark red flames rising all over its body.
This phoenix is huge, with wings spread out for dozens of meters. It is covered with black scales, and each scale emits a faint cold light, as if it came from the depths of hell, with a rage that burns everything, and goes towards the figure in the air like lightning.
Blood Moon Eclipse!
The air was filled with a strong smell of blood, as if the whole world was dyed blood red.
The blood light, like a lightning bolt falling from the sky, with the momentum of destroying everything, instantly tore the originally peaceful battlefield apart.
The sky was originally clear, but now it was stained with a strange red color by the sudden blood light, as if it was a sign of the gods' wrath.
Even the Titled Douluo who were watching the battle from a distance couldn't help but feel a chill in their hearts, and felt an inexplicable sense of oppression, as if an invisible big hand was tightly strangling their throats, making them unable to breathe.
The blood light was so fast that it was almost impossible to catch it with the naked eye. Only a bloody afterimage could be seen.
Wherever it passed, the air seemed to be evaporated, leaving a vacuum zone. The originally calm air was now like boiling water, violently fluctuating.
The suddenly rising black phoenix was about to spread its wings and fly high, but was frightened by the sudden blood light.
She could clearly feel the terrifying energy contained in the blood light, which was a terrifying force that was enough to completely destroy her.
The black phoenix did not dare to neglect it. She tried her best and flapped her wings suddenly. Her body was like an arrow from a string, rising dozens of meters in an instant.
Fortunately, the target of the blood light was not her, but whizzed past her from under her body, aiming directly at Orange who was trying her best to maintain the ninth-level soul guide shield.
The speed of the blood light was too fast, so fast that Orange had no time to react, and could only watch the blood light attacking her.
Just before the blood light was about to hit Orange, the originally golden ninth-level soul shield was suddenly rendered with a layer of weird blood red.
The blood color spread rapidly like a living thing, and in the blink of an eye, the entire shield was dyed blood red.
Orange, who was in the shield, only felt a blood red in front of her eyes, as if she was in a sea of blood.
The blood in her body also churned violently as the blood light approached, as if it was about to break out of her body.
Orange resisted the churning blood in her body and desperately urged her soul power to condense a layer of shield again to resist the terrifying blood light.
However, before she could condense the shield, an irresistible suction force came from behind her, pulling her whole body over.
Orange only felt a flash in front of her eyes, and the next moment, she fell into a warm and powerful embrace. Then, she saw that everything around her changed and turned into a piece of red gold.
The red-gold light was so dazzling and warm, as if it could dispel all the darkness and coldness in the world.
"One hundred thousand years of soul skills! Is this the power of a hundred thousand years of soul skills?" Orange was shocked, and his mind was blank.
Theoretically, the ninth-level soul guide shield can withstand the attack of a Titled Douluo.
However, this theory does not seem to hold true in front of a truly powerful soul master.
The figure in the sky is clearly only at the eighth ring level! (End of this chapter)
