Douluo Dalu: Start with a Heavenly Fire Sacred Judgement

Although Guo Nu was despairing, his instinct for survival made him react immediately and he turned around and ran. At this moment, he only wished that his parents had not given him a pair of legs, and he ran away madly.

But in the next moment, Guo Nu suddenly felt that the world around him became calm. Everything seemed illusory and the surrounding scenery became unreal.

At this moment, the entire space seemed to be torn into pieces in an instant, including his eighth-level soul guide shield, and even the invincible shield that had just been released to give him a sense of security.

Guo Nu's eyes dulled for a moment. He felt as if his body and soul were flying higher and higher. Everything around him became unreal. And right below him, an extremely bright light made this unreality even more illusory. Then, he could not feel anything, and his thoughts fell into eternal nothingness.

The ninth-level fixed-install soul guide shells are known as the ninth-level soul guides with the strongest destructive power, because the difficulty of making the ninth-level fixed-install soul guide shells is not weaker than that of the ninth-level soul guides, and it is a one-time use. When making it, it is not allowed to consider the effect of the soul guide itself to withstand the explosive power. Therefore, the ninth-level fixed-install soul guide shells are the symbol of extreme destructive power.

Only Ji Lin's martial soul, the Holy Judgement of Skyfire, which symbolizes the word destruction, can exert destructive power comparable to that of a ninth-level fixed-type soul guide shell under the influence of the gods. Other Ultimate Douluos, including Di Tian, ​​cannot compare to a ninth-level fixed-type soul guide shell in terms of destructive power alone.

But destructive power is destructive power, and attack power is attack power, the two sides cannot be generalized. Although the destructive power of the ninth-level fixed-installation soul guide shells is the highest in the continent, its attack power is just like the full-strength attack of an ordinary Extreme Douluo. An Extreme Douluo can protect himself from the attack of a ninth-level fixed-installation soul guide shell. Of course, that is when the number of ninth-level fixed-installation soul guide shells is small.

Simply put, the power generated by the explosion of a ninth-level fixed-type soul guide shell is equivalent to the attack power of an Extreme Douluo with all his strength, but the attack range and attack distance far exceed that of an Extreme Douluo, and the damage it can cause to the environment is far greater than that of an Extreme Douluo.

This type of weapon of large-scale destruction is always effective when used in war.

Guo Nu's strength was not weak, he was an eighth-level soul guide, but facing the explosion of a ninth-level fixed-type soul guide shell at such a close distance, he still had no chance, not even a little bit.

Storm of destruction!

At this moment, the fixed-type soul-guided cannonball that Nangong Wan had spent a lot of effort to obtain fully displayed its power.

The terrifying explosion, high temperature, and high pressure were only the first step. In that terrifying explosion, countless tiny particles were scattered from the fixed-type soul guide shells. Each of these tiny particles was only the size of a fingernail. In the big explosion, they spread very quickly. They had super strong penetrating power, but once they touched the metal, they would immediately attach to it.

This thing has a name, called metal bomb. It is a third-level soul guide device, but it is a fixed-type soul guide device and a disposable item.

This metal bomb is also known as the Soul Guide Destroyer. It is made of a special rare metal called financial crystal. The biggest feature of this rare metal is that it can be assimilated with most metals. The soul guide took advantage of this feature and engraved a high-explosive core array on the financial crystal.

Once the financial crystal touches other metals and fuses with them, the high-explosive core array inside will take effect. Because the financial crystal has been integrated into the metal, the explosion will occur inside the metal, and the metal will be broken into pieces and fly out in all directions, causing even more terrifying destructiveness.

The name of the ninth-level fixed-type soul-guided artillery shell used by Ji Lin, the Destruction Storm, came from this.

When making this destructive storm, the first thing to do is to make metal bombs made of 1,180 financial crystals. Then, inside the destructive storm, a protective layer is cast with financial crystals to prevent the metal bomb inside from touching the metal outside. Outside the financial crystal protective layer is a vacuum barrier with space capabilities, which requires several very complex core arrays to complete. Outside of that is a core array with extremely strong defense, followed by various core arrays that amplify the explosive impact of the ninth-level soul guide shells, as well as some complex core arrays that work together to finally create this destructive storm.

Once it explodes, it will first produce an explosive force similar to that of an ordinary high-explosive level nine fixed-type soul guide shell, and then the metal bombs inside will scatter and fly towards the surrounding area within a square kilometer. Once these metal bombs touch any metal, they will produce a secondary explosion, causing a terrifying metal storm.

Therefore, if this Destruction Storm Level 9 fixed-type soul guide shell is released in a place with a lot of metal, its power will be greatly increased, but its actual explosive power is still somewhat different from those Level 9 fixed-type soul guide shells that the Sun-Moon Empire used to blow up the Mingdou Mountains.

Although Ji Lin did not know the true power of the Destruction Storm, he knew from close contact with it that this fixed-type soul guide shell was related to metal, and his target this time would definitely be the soul guide device position. Moreover, there was no better choice, so he used the Destruction Storm here.

Even Ji Lin himself did not expect that he had chosen a detonation point that could unleash the full power of the destructive storm.

One point in time after the explosion of the Storm of Destruction, time seemed to freeze at this moment. An ominous tranquility filled the air. In the camp of the Second Soul Instructor Group, a tiny light began to flicker. It expanded rapidly, like the rising sun, but its light was more dazzling than any morning light and hotter than any scorching sun. This was the combination of the wisdom and creativity of the soul guide. The ninth-level fixed soul guide shell was releasing the energy that had been accumulated for a long time. The light instantly illuminated the whole world, turning the night sky into daytime. Then, a huge fireball rose in the camp of the Second Soul Instructor Group. It expanded rapidly, sucking the surrounding air into it, forming a terrifying vortex. The center of the fireball reached a stable temperature of millions of degrees, enough to instantly vaporize the matter behind it. The surrounding metals, buildings, trees, and even the ground were all reduced to ashes under this irresistible force.

Immediately following the fireball, there was a strong shock wave, which carried countless tiny metals. It spread in all directions at supersonic speed, and everything was destroyed wherever it went. Amid the violent roar, almost all soul guide positions were affected.

That was a ninth-level fixed-type soul-guided artillery shell, and its power was so terrifying that anyone would be terrified.

The most correct thing Guo Nu did before he died was to give the order at the first opportunity to activate the linked defense formation. The soul guide positions of the entire Second Soul Master Corps were all covered by the linked defense formation.

When this linked defense formation is used suddenly, it will first absorb the bottle's soul power. If it lasts longer, the soul master will continue to inject it.

The explosion of the Destruction Storm was equivalent to a huge explosion inside the linked defense array. The protective power of the linked defense was quite strong. Although the linked defense array reached its strongest load in an instant and gradually collapsed, it still blocked the strongest wave of explosive impact of the Destruction Storm.

However, this internal explosion also has its own disadvantages. All the explosive force could not be released, so naturally it all acted on the inside of the linked defense array.

Almost all the soul masters of the Second Soul Master Corps who were in it were instantly vaporized by the extremely high temperature. How could these soul masters, whose average cultivation level was only around three rings, withstand the power of the destructive storm? And those metal bombs that were bounced out also fell back into the interior due to the barrier of the linked defense formation.

But don't forget, in this soul guide position, there are soul guides everywhere! What are soul guides made of? Metal!

The biggest characteristic of metal bombs is that the greater the density of the metal it combines with, the greater the power of the explosion will be. Only a very small number of extremely rare metals will not be invaded by it.

However, the soul guides used by the Second Soul Guide Corps are not the first-line soul guides of the Sun-Moon Empire. How could they possibly use those extremely rare metals?

The five protectors of the nation are the ones who are fully equipped with first-line soul guides, not just these ordinary soul guide teams!

For a moment, almost all the metal bombs that bounced back found their carriers.

The next moment, a second round of explosion occurred again.

The linked defense formation collapsed almost instantly, and countless metal storms blasted out wildly around the Second Soul Instructor Corps’ base.

The defense of the linkage defense array should have been stronger, but don't forget that all defenses are for the outside, not for the inside. It's not easy for this linkage defense array to achieve such a strong internal defense. But as all the soul guides inside were destroyed, the linkage defense array naturally collapsed, and it was completely unable to stop the second round of metal storm explosion.

A mushroom cloud slowly rose from the second soul guide's position, bringing dust and smoke into the sky and spreading in all directions.

All the tents near the second soul guide's position were instantly torn into pieces by the metal storm. The metal storm spread outward like a meat grinder, spreading outward for a thousand meters before gradually attenuating.

Within this range, no soldier could survive the metal storm. The raging metal fragments, the terrifying explosion force, and the high-temperature flames blew a huge gap in the Sun-Moon Empire camp in just a dozen seconds.
