Chapter 498.1. Annihtion Storm


    Seeing that Huo Yuhao had stashed the stationary soul cannon shells, Guo Na felt that he had no choice, even though he felt pained by his decision. If he didnt build up his rtionship with these evil soul masters, he didnt know what kind of problems he would face in the future.


    After putting all the stationary soul cannon shells away, Huo Yuhao returned to their table and lifted a wine cup with his right hand. Thanks, Commander Guo, for your precious gift. Come, let me give you a toast.


    Guo Nu quickly stood up and drank with Huo Yuhao.


    As Huo Yuhao drank, he gently touched Nangong Wan with his toes. When he sat down, Nangong Wan immediately raised his wine cup and gave Guo Nu a toast as well.


    Taking this opportunity, Huo Yuhao rubbed his right hand across his forehead. It seemed like he was fixing his hair, but an almost invisible ball of distorted light went under the table just as his hand went down. If one could observe it more closely, one might discover that there seemed to be something inside the sphere


    After eating a full meal, Guo Nu personally sent Huo Yuhao, Nangong Wan, and the rest out of the soul formation. After the evil soul masters had left, his expression also turned colder. As long as one was a real soul master, or even a soul engineer, who would fancy interacting with evil soul masters, who killed without blinking an eye?


    He sighed silently.I hope nothing goes wrong with relying on evil soul masters to achieve domination.He shook his head a little helplessly before he turned around.


    However, he didnt know that a ball of white light had slipped out from under the table in his tent. It quickly hid in a dark corner to the side.


    As Nangong Wan and Huo Yuhao walked back, Nangong Wan nced curiously at Huo Yuhao. He asked, Have you done it?


    Huo Yuhao smiled and replied, Yes.


    Nangong Wan was even more stunned. He didnt see Huo Yuhao doing anything at all! Huo Yuhao had only signaled him to give Guo Nu a toast once.Dont tell me that he did it then?


    When Huo Yuhao saw his puzzled look, he said, If you could tell, dont you think Guo Nu could tell too? Dont worry. When things are done, Ill fulfill my promise to you.


    Nangong Wan nodded. He had no choice now but to believe Huo Yuhao. He trusted Shreks credibility.


    After returning to his tent, Huo Yuhao sat down cross-legged and circted his soul power. He forced the alcohol that he had consumed earlier out of his body. The first step of the n had beenpleted. The next step was to be carried outter tonight.


    He entered meditation, continuing to cultivate. Even in enemy territory, he kept on improving his abilities. Without sufficient ability, he couldnt do anything. With something as good as the Manifold Mysterious Ice Essence in his body, along with the help of his spiritual soul core, he felt that his daily cultivation rewarded him greatly. This feeling spurred him on to work even harder.


    Night fell. As usual, Huo Yuhao went to the canteen to eat his dinner. After that, he silently returned to his tent. The other evil soul masters were also acting as they usually did.


    After thesest few days of observation, Huo Yuhao had familiarized himself with the surroundings of his camp. He used his spiritual power to observe the route that Tang Ya had to take. After verifying that she had returned to her tent, he entered meditation and waited.


    He had realized that her routine was very simr to his. Apart from her daily meals, she would cultivate in her own tent. From the outside, one could subtly hear her breathing. Evil soul masters were very rxed here. Even Zhongli Wu didnt summon them together for anything.


    Huo Yuhao had seen the elders and worshippers here. There were two Transcendent Douluo from the Holy Ghost Churchs Worship Hall here as well. They werent all evil soul masters. The Scorpion Tiger Douluo Zhang Peng was here, also from the Worship Hall. He was staying not far from Tang Ya. When Tang Ya went to the canteen to eat, Huo Yuhao saw that Zhang Peng sat beside her on a few asions. He was the only other person who could sit beside her, apart from Zhongli Wu.


    Zhang Peng was by her side the first time Huo Yuhao saw Tang Ya as an evil soul master. In his opinion, Zhang Peng was probably assigned to protect her. While Tang Yas cultivation couldntpare to Ma Xiaotaos, the Holy Ghost Church did this to supervise her training and protect her.


    The Scorpion Tiger Douluo wasnt someone who could be dealt with easily. He was bound to be a barrier to their efforts in the near future.


    Although Huo Yuhao already had a n, he didnt know what would happen during the process of carrying it out. He could only take it one step at a time. He hoped that everything would progress in the right direction.


    The sky turned darker and darker, and the base also quieted down. After a day of training, the ordinary soldiers also returned to their own bunks to rest. Only the night guards continued their patrols. Of course, the defenses of the soul formations were still very strict, even at night.


    The tent of the Commanderof the Second Soul Engineer Legion


    After having dinner, Guo Nu carried out a few administrative duties after he returned. His tent was where he discussed things with his subordinates. He didnt sleep there.


    After finishing his administrative matters, Guo Nu left themanders tent and went to take a look at his soul formation. Before he slept every night, he would carry out a routine check to keep any problems from cropping up. After that, he would return to his own tent to rest.


    As he stepped out from his tent, a ball of white light slowly crept out from the corner. It had done very well to conceal its aura earlier. Guo Nu didnt discover anything, even though he was a Soul Douluo.


    After it appeared, it silently took from and gradually expanded. It slowly adopted a human form, ending up looking like Huo Yuhao.


    That afternoon, Huo Yuhao had left this ball of spiritual power in the tent just as Nangong Wan was raising a toast to Guo Nu. To ensure that it couldst long enough, Huo Yuhao didnt attach a soul skill to it. He only used Imitation.


    After adopting a human form, this spiritual body looked a little illusory. As time passed, it had still lost a lot of spiritual power. However, it still had enough toplete Huo Yuhaos n.


    A small ring appeared on the spiritual entitys hand as it flipped its wrist, and light shed. It was the Starlight Sapphire Ring. When Huo Yuhao had left behind this ball of light, it was this ring that was left inside of it.


    The ring shone with light, and Huo Yuhao revealed a smile on his face. He retrieved a long box from the ring and ced it on the table inside the tent.


    He looked a little unwilling when he saw this box. If he had any other choice, he wouldnt have chosen to take it out.


    His spiritual power spread and formed a spiritual barrier inside the tent, isting the auras both inside and outside the tent.


    Nangong Wan had informed him of the habits of the legionmanders of the soul engineer legions. Huo Yuhao knew that Guo Nu wouldnt return after leaving. He would go straight to sleep after his routine check. This tent was the safest ce to be right now. No surveince soul tools would be covering this area, either.


    After setting up this spiritual barrier, Huo Yuhaos spiritual entity looked much more illusory. He had turned almostpletely transparent.


    He carefully opened the box.


    As the box opened, Huo Yuhaos spiritual entity was the first to bear the brunt of it. An tremendous shock shook him. If his spiritual power wasnt strong enough, his spiritual entity would have been dissipated.


    Huo Yuhao was also horrified. Fortunately, his spiritual power was in the concrete-material realm. Otherwise, he would have been in big trouble.


    There was a long cannon shell lying inside the box. What was released earlier was the aura of armored cavalry. When it swept by, Huo Yuhaos spiritual entity had almost dissipated.


    If Nangong Wan saw this, he would immediately recognize it. That was because he had once used this cannon shell to spur soul engineers to obtain good results in the Radiant City Elite Soul Engineering Tournament, back when he was still the Duskwater Alliance Master.


    Huo Yuhao had absconded with this cannon shell and other items during the major explosion in Radiant City. He had kept this ss 9 stationary soul cannon shell all this while, and given the rest of the items to the Tang Sect.


    Sensing the auraing from this ss 9 cannon shell, Huo Yuhao was in awe.This is a true strategic weapon!Xuan Ziwen had once told him that even a ss 9 soul engineer would need three to six months and a lot of rare metals toplete the production of such a soul tool. Every time such a soul tool was created, it also drained the energy of a ss 9 soul engineer greatly. As a result, such a strategic weapon was very rare, even in the Sun Moon Empire.


    Initially, the Sun Moon Empire had breached the Ming Dou Mountain Range using three such ss 9 stationary soul cannon shells, blowing a canyon open in the mountains. Huo Yuhao still remembered the event clearly. This was his first time trying something as terrifying as this!
