Chapter 550.2. The Attack Starts!


    Li Ya hovered next to Huo Yuhao, and a mystical scene urred. Soul rings appeared from the bottom of her mermaids tail one after another, and one would realize upon closer inspection that they were the soul rings Huo Yuhao had attached to his Spirit Eyes, every single one of them.


    The eighth soul ring, the one that was blood red, glowed as Huo Yuhaos incantations were suddenly mixed with another crisp and bright voice.


    Every glyph or word that he chanted was apanied by an identical one in this crisp and bright voice, and this voice belonged to Li Ya.


    Li Ya was a hundred thousand year soul beast, and she had given a total of four soul skills to Huo Yuhao. Two were from soul rings, and two were from soul bones.


    The soul skill that she was using on Huo Yuhaos behalf was one from her soul rings: Mermaids Duet.


    The reason why his eight soul rings attached to his Spirit Eyes would appear on Li Yas body was because of one of her soul bone skills that she had bestowed on Huo Yuhao, Merfolk Control.


    Merfolk Control was entirely auxiliary, but it was very effective. It could release a merfolks spirit when absolutely necessary to control Huo Yuhaos soul skills, and it could unleash his other soul skills on its own while expending only half of the spiritual power normally required.


    That was just a soul skill. That wasnt just a soul bone for Huo Yuhao as, more importantly, he had Li Ya as his Spirit! Therefore, Li Ya using this soul skill meant that she was temporarily controlling his Spirit Eyes soul skills as his Spirit, and the overall effect was undoubtedly superior.


    Merfolk Controls effect on normal soul masters probably wasnt that evident, but it was very different for Huo Yuhao because he had twin martial souls! Even though he could switch between his martial souls, switching still required energy. He also couldnt unleash them as quickly as he could when he was in his normal state.


    But that was different with Merfolk Control. Li Ya could support him ording to his whims. When Huo Yuhao was using his Ice Jade Empress Scorpion in battle, Li Ya could use all kinds of auxiliary spiritual-type soul skills to help him. That was like another Huo Yuhao appearing temporarily to fight. He could also save half of his spiritual power when using his Spirit Eyes soul skills.


    Of course, Huo Yuhaos soul bone would have to consume soul power as he was conserving spiritual power.


    However, Merfolk Control couldnt grasp every single soul skill. First, she could only use those spiritual-type soul skills. She couldnt use Huo Yuhaos Eye of Destiny, or the Three-Eyed Golden Lions destiny skulls soul skills.


    This meant that Li Ya couldnt use Spiritual st, Destinys Demise, Spiritual Dispossession, and Destinys Adjudication, because those had belonged to Wang Qiuer. When she sacrificed herself for Huo Yuhao, he became the only one who could use her strength.


    Merfolks Duet, which was his eighth soul skill, wasparable to Merfolk Control. Merfolks Duet could double the effects of any of Huo Yuhaos spiritual-type soul skills.


    That didnt include those soul skills that Wang Qiuer had bestowed on Huo Yuhao, but that was enough!


    For instance, Huo Yuhaos incantations were considered a spiritual-type soul skill, while this was also considered his third martial soul.


    What was the effect of doubling his necromantic spells effects?


    The answer was quickly presented in front of Huo Yuhao.


    Eighteen spectral gates quickly opened and spaced out in a line. Huo Yuhao had to strengthen his Spiritual Interference Domains area of affect so that he could cover every single gate.


    Huo Yuhao nced at Li Ya with a surprised look on his face, and she gave him a sweet smile. Merfolks Duet only consumed half of what he would normally need for soul power and spiritual power with Merfolk Control.


    What did eighteen spectral gates mean? This meant that Shrek Academys three soul engineer legios coulde out and retreat twice as fast as they would have otherwise!


    Huo Yuhao nodded in Li Yas direction before he turned towards Radiant City. There was a remote in his hands.


    The show is about to begin!


    Huo Yuhao pressed the button on his remote heavily as he spoke, a thread of strange undtions mixed with soul power and spiritual power travelled into the distance.


    Boom


    The silent night sky above Radiant City was suddenly jolted by deafening booms as enormous sparks and flowing lights crackled above Radiant City.


    The citys peace was disturbed, and ear-piercing rms could be heard in the next moment as all kinds of surveince soul tools in the sky were fully activated. Radiant Citys fourrge soul tool fronts were also fully activated at the same time.


    But would that be useful?


    The corner of Huo Yuhaos mouth curved into a mocking smile as he continued pressing the remote in his hands.


    Boom, boom, boom


    Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom!


    Intense explosions rang out continuously high in the air, as the loud sounds of those detonations travelled far through the sky. Brilliant fireworks crackled one after another in the sky.


    The soul engineers within their respective soul tool fronts inside Radiant City were allpletely stunned by what they were witnessing.


    The reason was because they hadnt detected any attacks at all, so why would their aerial surveince soul tools explode one after another?


    The screens that those aerial surveince soul tools were connected to on the ground went ck at once as exmations could be heard in every corner of the city.


    But that didnt change how those aerial surveince soul tools were exploding in the sky.


    The sky above Radiant City was like a magnificent firework show as intricate fireworks crackled again and again. There were many different colors, and there were many different sizes. A vast area of the sky above Radiant City was lit up.


    Xu Tianran was jolted awake amid the loud explosions. When he rushed out from the royal pce and witnessed the sparks and fireworks in the sky, he froze.


    What what is going on? What exactly has happened?


    Nobody could answer him. As the aerial surveince soul tools in the sky continued to explode, Radiant Citys defense system waspletely activated. Soul engineers got to their battle stations and posts as they tried to control all kinds of surveince soul tools and attempt to discover some trace of what was happening.


    But the explosions in the sky didnt seem like they were going to stop at all. Radiant City couldnt get anything from their monitoring; the only thing they could get was darkness in that instant after the explosion!


    Radiant City was destined to be overwhelmed by darkness this night. The royal pces linked defenses were activated as those terrifying explosions continued, covering the entire pce. The four soul tool fronts didnt activate their defenses, because they would have to use their high-poweredpression array soul tools if they did. They had expended much from thest time they used it, and they couldnt even activate it again. They had to conserve power so that they could defend the soul tool fronts. At a time like this, who would care about the citizens?


    Everything had happened too abruptly, to the point where Radiant Citys imperial guard couldnt react in time. The entire city descended into chaos amid the explosions in the sky that were like rolling thunder.


    Radiant City had bepletely blind, and that was Huo Yuhaos first step.


    Just as those explosions were happening, Zhuge Divine Crossbow Cannons were swiftly pushed out from those eighteen ck spectral gates one after another.


    The soul engineers didnt make a sound at all, but when they saw the brilliant fireworks that were lighting up the sky in the distance, they opened their mouths in shock.


    They almost didnt know where they were, but this firework show was the grandest one they had ever witnessed in their lifetimes.


    A cold dash of light flickered across Huo Yuhaos face. He withdrew the remote in his hands. The first step was the most important one, and he finallypleted this task that he had spent so much energy and almost half of the entire night on.


    Huo Yuhao shared Spiritual Detection with everyone and ryed his instructions.


    Three hundred Zhuge Divine Crossbow Cannons formed up in a single line as they quickly got into formation.


    After the Heavy Artillery Soul Engineer Legion came out, the Fort Soul Engineer Legions soul masters and the Tang Sect Soul Engineer Legions soul masters quickly rushed out from those eighteen spectral gates.


    The Fort Soul Engineer Legions soul engineers didnt appear with their forts. Most of them were pushing some heavy soul tools as they appeared beside the Heavy Artillery Soul Engineer Legion.


    They quickly set those soul tools up, and He Caitou was theirmander.


    The Tang Sect Soul Engineer Legions soul engineers were wearing their equipment and supporting the other two legions from one side, and everyone nervously got to work.


    Huo Yuhao closed his eyes and regted his breathing as he listened quietly to the explosions in the sky. Tang Wutong, Bei Bei, Xu Sanshi, Jiang Nannan, Xiao Xiao, and the rest of the Tang Sects senior members arrived beside him as they gazed into the distance.


    Everyones eyes flowed with astonishment and respect as they witnessed the magnificent fireworks in the sky. Huo Yuhao had aplished this by himself! He was like the Sun Moon Empires nightmare, and he made what was impossible, possible. He could still find loopholes and weaknesses in Radiant Citys airtight defenses.


    The explosions far in the sky finally stopped after about a dozen minutes. Metal fragments and dust fell from the sky as dense smoke covered the entire city.


    Radiant City was dark before, but the entire city lit up once more as the citys defense army was mobilized. They increased their vignce and defenses across the city, and activated their backup aerial surveince soul tools and released them into the air. The royal pces linked defensive barrier was still being maintained.


    But right at this moment, the Heavy Artillery Soul Engineer Legions three hundred Zhuge Divine Crossbow Cannons divided into three rows as they formed up behind Huo Yuhao.


    The dark cannons emanated sinister auras, and every single soul engineers breathing was rough and heavy. The stunning scenes of the night far in the distance had already told them where they were, and those who were smarter could already figure out what had just happened.
