Chapter 316 The Fall of the Sky-Supporting One, the True Form of the Spirit Eye!
This attack by the Holy Spirit Cult was not a spur-of-the-moment, reckless act, but a premeditated attack.
Many of the fixed-position soul-guided cannonballs that roared toward Shrek Academy did not come from afar at all, but rather took off suddenly from the buildings within Shrek City.
It would have been impossible to achieve such a precise and dense saturation strike without an inside agent who had pre-positioned firing positions within the city.
Moreover, the target of this attack did not seem to be just Shrek Academy. Flames shot into the sky from the direction of the Tang Sect headquarters, and the explosion could be heard clearly across most of the city.
The once prosperous and peaceful Shrek City is now filled with the roar of explosions, the collapse of buildings, and the screams and cries of crowds.
Smoke and dust mingled together, shrouding the entire city in a gloomy despair.
Although Huo Yuhao and the others, who were hiding in the Sea God Pavilion, could not see the full extent of the devastation in Shrek City, they could imagine it from the soul-guided cannons that kept flying overhead.
They looked up as the teachers who usually stood on the podium to teach them soared into the sky one after another, doing their utmost and even sacrificing their lives to intercept the soul-guided missiles falling towards the academy.
In the end, Yun Ming, the master of the Sea God Pavilion, also made his move.
He shattered his divine position, unleashing unprecedented power.
After killing a group of powerful members of the Holy Spirit Cult, when the final spear thrust was unleashed, the world lost its color, the sun and moon lost their light, and the spear's light pierced through the sky, colliding violently in mid-air with a level twelve cannonball powerful enough to kill gods.
In Huo Yuhao's perception, that majestic aura, like a pillar supporting the sky, disappeared in the aftershocks of the explosion.
Along with it, the full power of those two level-12 god-killing fixed-position soul-guided cannon shells also dissipated.
With Yun Ming's strength, he could have escaped unscathed from this catastrophe.
But he didn't. He was the master of the Sea God Pavilion. Faced with the academy and countless young lives, he had no way out and never thought of retreating.
Huo Yuhao slowly withdrew his spiritual power, remained silent for a moment, and then turned around to look at his companions behind him.
Tang Wulin bit his lip hard, his honest and resolute face already covered with tears, his hands clenched into fists and trembling slightly.
Xie Xie turned his head away, his shoulders trembling, while Xu Xiaoyan was also crying so hard she couldn't speak.
Na'er still stood straight, but her silver eyes were also slightly moist.
Gu Yue was the only one besides Huo Yuhao who remained relatively calm. She looked at Huo Yuhao with an unprecedentedly solemn expression.
However, now is clearly not the time to wallow in sorrow. The Holy Spirit Cult's attacks are not over yet, and the sounds of explosions outside the Sea God Pavilion continue to rise and fall.
The golden light shield formed by the Golden Tree above the inner courtyard had been shattered by the repeated saturation attacks. Fortunately, the core layer of the golden light shield of the Sea God Pavilion still stubbornly protected this ancient pavilion.
After an unknown amount of time, the sounds of explosions around us gradually subsided until they disappeared completely.
The golden light shield outside the Sea God Pavilion had dimmed to an extreme degree, like a candle flickering in the wind, ready to be extinguished at any moment.
Just then, Jin Lao's old and weak voice entered Huo Yuhao's mind again.
The sound was weaker than ever before, intermittent, as if it had been squeezed out with the last bit of strength.
"My child, this is the last thing I can do for you."
As soon as he finished speaking, the golden light shield outside the Sea God Pavilion, which had been struggling to withstand the entire attack, vanished silently.
At the same moment that the golden light shield disappeared, the ancient Sea God Pavilion where Huo Yuhao and the others were located began to slowly collapse.
Everything was like an ancient building that had been sealed for thousands of years, finally exhausting its last bit of strength, slowly disintegrating in an invisible wind, turning into dust and specks of light, and ultimately leaving nothing behind.
Xu Xiaoyan looked around blankly, seeing only devastation everywhere.
The once shimmering Poseidon Lake is now completely obscured by rubble and mud, surrounded by pits of varying sizes. Wisps of black smoke rise from the ruins amidst the broken walls, creating a particularly desolate scene under the dim yellow sky.
All of this happened so fast; it seems like only a dozen minutes have passed since the first shell landed.
In just over ten minutes, Shrek Academy, which had dominated the continent for twenty thousand years, was destroyed.
Xu Xiaoyan said in a tearful voice, "Shrek Academy—is gone."
The others seemed to be affected by these words as well, instantly immersing themselves in an overwhelming sadness.
But at that moment, Huo Yuhao's expression suddenly changed, and he shouted sharply, "Hide well, it's not over yet!"
Huo Yuhao instantly donned his two-word battle armor. The smooth and gorgeous armor plates gleamed with a cold metallic luster in the dim light of the day, and a pair of huge metal wing blades suddenly unfolded on his back.
He pushed off the ground with both feet and shot into the sky like a shooting star flying in reverse.
Almost simultaneously, his spiritual eyes caught sight of a dazzling streak of light hurtling toward Seagod Island on the distant horizon.
With just one glance, Huo Yuhao accurately identified it as a level eight fixed-position soul-guided cannon shell.
At this moment, no teachers from Shrek Academy could be seen. The only person who could stand between the cannonball and the ruins of Seagod Island was him.
Huo Yuhao's expression was more solemn than ever before, but he was not flustered.
One spirit ring after another rose from beneath his feet. The moment the seventh spirit ring, a crimson 100,000-year ring, was lit, an overwhelming and suffocating pressure suddenly erupted from his body.
Behind him, a gigantic vertical pupil, tens of meters tall, suddenly appeared.
The vertical pupils were a dazzling golden color, and the pupils were as deep as an abyss.
A ring of rose-gold sun patterns surrounds the vertical pupil, each pattern slowly rotating as if alive, radiating an ancient and sacred glow.
This is not Huo Yuhao's original appearance of his Spirit Eye Martial Soul, but rather the form he took after his Martial Soul underwent a second awakening following his cultivation of secret techniques at the Body Sect.
Furthermore, this is the highest-level Gold-grade second awakening, enough to unleash two to three times the original power of his martial soul.
The moment the Spirit Eye Martial Soul True Form appeared, a golden beam of light, condensed to the extreme, shot out from the giant vertical pupil.
The beam of light was several meters in diameter and moved so fast that it didn't even leave an afterimage. It accurately hit the level 8 fixed-position soul-guided cannon shell that was rapidly approaching from afar.
After being hit by the light of the Spirit Eye, the level 8 shell, which was powerful enough to level an entire city, did not explode or make any sound. It simply stopped in mid-air.
It was as if I was instantly grabbed by an invisible hand, and it only took a moment to go from high speed to stillness.
After hovering in mid-air for a few moments, the metal casing of the eighth-level shell began to disintegrate at a visible speed.
First, the rivets on the outer shell fell off one by one, then the internal soul power compression core separated from the outer armor, and finally even each metal plate was precisely disassembled into its most basic parts along the interface.
The whole process was as if the creator of this level-eight fixed-position soul-guided cannonball had personally disassembled the cannonball step by step according to the process, and finally turned it into a pile of harmless metal parts that fell from the sky with a clanging sound and scattered into the turbid muddy water of the Sea God Lake.
This is the special effect of Huo Yuhao's Martial Soul True Body on Soul Tools. Instead of using brute force to detonate them, he relies on his thorough understanding of Soul Tools and the structure of metal materials to completely dismantle the target in an instant.
This move is incredibly powerful when facing soul tools, but it also consumes an enormous amount of mental and spiritual energy.
However, before Huo Yuhao could catch his breath, his spiritual eyes caught another dazzling streak of light on the distant horizon.
This time, the brilliance was even more dazzling than the previous level 8 shell. The trailing flame had an eerie dark purple hue, and the trajectory of that light alone tore the clouds along its path to pieces.
An overwhelming pressure, far more terrifying and suffocating than level eight, swept down from that direction.
Level 9 Fixed-Equipment Soul-Guided Cannon Shell!
Huo Yuhao clenched his fists tightly, his expression becoming extremely solemn.
Although there is only one level difference between level eight and level nine, the difference in power is like heaven and earth.
The level nine fixed-position soul-guided cannon shell is the pinnacle of the conventional soul-guided device system; a single shell is enough to destroy a city.
Even with Huo Yuhao's current Soul Saint level cultivation, and even with the spiritual power of the Spirit Domain Realm plus the second awakening of his Martial Soul, he wouldn't dare say he could withstand this attack.
