"All of you, come at me together! And the five great national guardian soul mentor legions. High-energy compression array soul tools.
The Sun Moon Empire's soul guidance defence system—use every means at your disposal, I'll take them all!
If not, I'm afraid you won't even qualify to make me use a level 10 soul tool."
As soon as Wang Chen's words fell, more than twenty high-level ninth-rank soul mentors from the Sun Moon Empire in the high sky all looked at Wang Chen with faces full of astonishment.
At this moment, they had only one thought in their minds: either Wang Chen had gone mad, or he was truly powerful enough to suppress the entire Sun Moon Empire with his own strength.
When their gazes glanced at the sun-moon phenomenon, and they felt the vast mental power that enveloped who-knows-how-many kilometres, they couldn't help but swallow hard.
This Wang Chen... no matter how you looked at it, he didn't seem like a madman. Nine times out of ten, he really had the confidence to suppress all of them with his own power.
For a moment, many ninth-rank soul mentors dared not act rashly, fearing that a single careless move would invite Wang Chen's attack.
In the eyes of most ninth-rank soul mentors, this kid Wang Chen must have had a surge in strength, giving birth to ambition, wanting to seize the Xu family's imperial throne with his powerful strength.
If Wang Chen could really defeat everyone with his own power, then in the future, the Sun Moon Empire's imperial family would no longer be surnamed Xu, but would change to Wang.
Just as the many ninth-rank soul mentors were muttering in their hearts.
Wang Chen stood with his arms crossed, calmly looking at Xu Jing, Kong Deming, and the many ninth-rank soul mentors opposite him, his demeanour exceptionally relaxed.
Clearly, he didn't think the Sun Moon Empire could pose any threat to him at all.
The reason Wang Chen was doing this was not solely to demonstrate his life-bound soul tool to Kong Deming; his main purpose was to show off his muscles.
He wanted to use absolute strength to suppress the entire Sun Moon Empire! Conquer all the high-level powerhouses of the Sun Moon Empire!
Emperor Xu Jing, hearing Wang Chen's arrogant words, laughed in extreme anger, "Good, good, what a Wang Chen, truly the strongest genius in the history of our Sun Moon Empire.
But, you are far too arrogant! You actually want to confront all the powerhouses of the Sun Moon Empire and the five great national guardian soul mentor legions with your own strength!
You truly don't know the height of the heavens and the depth of the earth, thinking that with strength you can act recklessly. Even I, as the lord of a nation, cannot do so—on what basis can you!"
Facing Xu Jing's angry rebuke, Wang Chen merely smiled faintly. He raised his right hand, and the God-Suppressing Spear appeared out of thin air, the spear tip refracting a piercing cold light under the sunlight.
Wang Chen's voice was calm, as if he were stating a fact, "Your Majesty, this is not arrogance, but the fact that my current strength far surpasses that of Ultimate Douluo. Aside from gods, I don't put any living being on the Douluo Continent in my eyes.
As for why you can't do it, it's simply because you are not strong enough."
As soon as his words fell, the level 10 soul tool armour on Wang Chen's body suddenly lit up, ice-blue patterns flowing like living things.
At the same time, the sun-moon phenomenon behind him shone brightly, the white sun and the cold blue moon intertwining, sun and moon shining together, the yin-yang complementary dual soul cores bringing forth soul power far surpassing that of Ultimate Douluo, sweeping over.
As Wang Chen urged his soul power and used the soul tool, in an instant, the entire sky became heavy and oppressive, as if a great mountain had descended from the heavens, making people unconsciously lower their heads and bend their waists.
A huge pressure enveloped everyone's hearts, making them sweat profusely and their expressions grave.
Xu Jing's face turned iron-blue, and he waved his hand fiercely: "Don't put it in your eyes? I am not strong enough.
What a Wang Chen, today I want to see just how many pounds and taels you have to be so arrogant!!"
"The five soul mentor legions, form arrays! All ninth-rank soul mentors prepare for battle!"
In mid-air, the Imperial Dragon Soul Mentor Legion, Evil Monarch Soul Mentor Legion, Fire Phoenix Soul Mentor Legion, Terrorclaw Soul Mentor Legion, and Sun Moon Royal Soul Mentor Legion—the soul mentors of the five great national guardian hands soul mentor legions quickly assembled.
Thousands of soul mentors simultaneously activated linked soul tools, gathering their soul power together to form five wholes.
The high-levels of the Sun Moon Empire, the ninth-rank soul mentors, also integrated into the five great national guardian hands soul mentor legions, serving as the trunk and brain, controlling the enormous energy linked together by the entire soul mentor legion.
Under the effect of the linked soul tools, the attack and defence capabilities of each soul mentor legion exceeded those of a ninety-eighth rank Super Douluo.
The strongest Sun Moon Royal Soul Mentor Legion had attack and defence capabilities that could even exceed those of a ninety-ninth rank Ultimate Douluo powerhouse.
Just relying on these five national guardian hands soul mentor legions was enough to surround and kill any Ultimate Douluo powerhouse who had reached the ninety-ninth rank.
One could see the soul mentors of the five soul mentor legions exerting force together.
Five energy light clusters with diameters of several tens of meters gathered, the terrifying power tearing the surrounding space into pitch-black cracks.
"High-energy compression array soul tools, activate!" Xu Jing took out a ninth-rank peak soul tool long sword from his storage soul tool and raised it high.
In an instant, it was as if some activation switch had been triggered. In the southeast, northwest, and central palaces of Mingdu, five directions underground suddenly rose five gigantic soul tool devices.
These five huge soul tool devices and the surrounding large number of buildings formed an energy field covering the entire Mingdu.
This was the Sun Moon Empire's most powerful defence system, the high-energy compression array soul tools.
Although the high-energy compression array soul tools charged very slowly, a single such array could store soul power equivalent to the total of one hundred Titled Douluo.
Any single high-energy compression array soul tool was enough to withstand an Ultimate Douluo powerhouse for a short time. The five high-energy compression array soul tools combined— one could imagine just how terrifying that was.
Before the energy in the high-energy compression array soul tools was exhausted, even if the Evil Eye Tyrant Ruler came, without using the light of space-time, it would be difficult to break through the defence of the five high-energy compression array soul tools.
If not for the fact that the high-energy compression array soul tools could not move, were overly gigantic in size, charged slowly, and were extremely costly to produce, thus only able to be used for passive defence, the Sun Moon Empire would have long conquered the world.
Xu Jing, by manipulating the controller in his hand, mobilised the vast energy in the high-energy compression array soul tools to charge the tens of thousands of soul tools above sixth-rank in the soul guidance positions on the ground.
With such a quantity of soul tools attacking together, even an Ultimate Douluo would have to retreat three sheds.
Wang Chen looked at the five high-energy compression array soul tools and the five great national guardian hands soul mentor legions, the corners of his mouth slightly raising: "This is a bit interesting."
Kong Deming said solemnly to Wang Chen, "Chen'er, it's still not too late to stop now. The power of a nation is not something one person can confront."
Wang Chen shook his head and said, "Teacher, I said it—aside from gods, I don't put anyone in my eyes.
The Sun Moon Empire's soul guidance technology is very strong, and Ultimate Douluo powerhouses cannot resist it, but compared to gods, even the weakest god, it is still far, far too lacking.
You taught me before; now that my strength is accomplished, it's my turn to teach you. After I finish demonstrating, we'll have a good talk.
If you're curious, teacher, or want to intuitively feel the power of a level 10 soul tool, you can also join the battle—I don't mind."
Kong Deming looked deeply at Wang Chen and said, "In that case, let this teacher see your growth!"
Wang Chen gripped the shaft of the God-Suppressing Spear with his right hand, golden light flashing as the spear tip of the God-Suppressing Spear trembled lightly, emitting a clear dragon chant.
"Everyone, go ahead and attack, use all your means, I'll beat you all into submission in one go!"
At this moment, Xu Jing could no longer suppress his anger, his voice resounding through the clouds under the amplification of soul power: "Attack!!"
With the emperor's command, the five national guardian hand soul mentor legions immediately launched their attacks. One could see five light pillars of different colours firing from five directions.
The terrifying energy beams tore through space wherever they passed, forming pitch-black gullies.
On the ground, the tens of thousands of various soul guidance cannon platforms charged by the high-energy compression array soul tools rose from their hidden places, all muzzles aimed at Wang Chen in the sky, bombarding madly.
In an instant, countless soul guidance rays, soul guidance cannons, shock waves, decomposition beams, and lights of destruction... shot towards Wang Chen from all directions.
Facing such terrifying soul tool attacks, even Ye Xishui and Long Xiaoyao could not withstand them.
"Not bad, an ordinary Ultimate Douluo probably really couldn't handle it, but in front of me, it's just showing off in front of an expert, mere parlour tricks."
Facing the attacks from the national guardian, hand soul mentor legions and the many soul tools, Wang Chen gently thrust forward with the God-Suppressing Spear in his hand.
It seemed like a casual thrust, but the moment it was executed, it triggered a huge reaction in space.
If someone had a deep enough understanding of space, they would be able to see that with Wang Chen's thrust, he directly shattered the space nodes in front of him.
After the space nodes constituting space were destroyed, space immediately collapsed. Massive amounts of space power turned into pitch-black, violent spatial turbulence. Like a black hole, it twisted and devoured everything within the collapse range.
The linked attacks of the five great national guardian hands soul mentor legions and the attacks from the tens of thousands of soul tools on the ground were like clay oxen entering the sea.
Before they could touch Wang Chen, they were twisted and annihilated by the collapsing space in front of him, without stirring up the slightest ripple.
The various attacks continued for a full minute, but to no avail.
That collapsing space was like an abyss, unfathomably deep, impossible to break through.
All those attacking gradually stopped their actions, staring blankly at Wang Chen, who was leisurely behind the collapsing space, and for a moment, they all felt a deep sense of powerlessness.
Too strong, the gap was too great, like an adult beating a child.
Even if he just stood there motionless, letting them attack, they couldn't break through that absolute defence.
Why fight anymore? Just surrender. Everyone supports Wang Chen as emperor.
Just as the ninth-rank soul mentors had various thoughts.
Kong Deming, watching this scene, also sighed.
He had originally wanted to make a move, but Wang Chen's collapsing space, every movement demonstrating a profound understanding of space, immediately extinguished his thoughts of acting.
His Silver Moon Divine Light Shield borrowed space power for defence, transfer, and binding.
But... in collapsing space, with his mastery of space power, he still couldn't borrow the power of spatial turbulence. Let alone restore the collapsing space.
Kong Deming murmured, "That soul tool spear, its power has absolutely reached the level of a level 10 soul tool, and it's a space-attribute soul tool.
Its influence and mobilisation of space is at least ten times stronger than my Silver Moon Divine Light Shield."
Xu Jing, beside him, after witnessing the soul mentor legions and soul guidance cannon attacks, was proud of being ineffective, and then hearing Kong Deming say that the long spear in Wang Chen's hand was a level 10 space soul tool.
His face gloomy as if it could drip water, Xu Jing thought to himself, "This child Wang Chen's strength is actually so formidable."
Xu Jing said, "Old Kong, as Wang Chen's teacher, do you have a way to crack Wang Chen's space soul tool?"
Kong Deming smiled bitterly and shook his head, saying, "Your Majesty, there's no way. Wang Chen has completely surpassed me. My Silver Moon Divine Light Shield hasn't reached level 10 soul tool, fundamentally unable to compete with him for control over space power.
Moreover, Wang Chen's cultivation and mental power far exceed mine; we're not on the same level at all."
Kong Deming felt a sense of loss in his heart. Logically, seeing his disciple surpass the master should make him happy.
But Wang Chen had surpassed him far too quickly. In just this short time, he had completely left him behind, and even the soul tool he created left his Silver Moon Divine Light Shield as nothing but slag.
This made it seem like he had lived all these years in vain, especially since Wang Chen seemed intent on usurping the throne, which made him, who had a quarter royal bloodline, unable to feel happy.
Seeing the attack effects stop, Wang Chen understood that this was them being at the end of their rope.
So with a wave of his hand, he restored the shattered space nodes, reforming the collapsing space.
Wang Chen said loudly, "That's it? Only this level? In that case, take one of my moves as well."
Wang Chen said to Kong Deming: "Teacher, watch carefully—this is the life-bound soul tool."
The God-Suppressing Spear in his hand suddenly burst with dazzling golden light, the patterns on the spear's body seeming to come alive, resonating with the soul power and mental power in Wang Chen's body.
The soul rings on Wang Chen's body lit up one after another: red, red, red, red, red, red, gold, red-gold, red-gold. Nine brilliant soul rings rose and circled.
Then, catalysed by the power of heaven and earth, the weapon spirit martial soul merged into the God-Suppressing Spear.
With the perfect fusion of the martial soul and the soul tool, the might of the God-Suppressing Spear climbed steadily, ultimately reaching a suffocating level.
A ninth-rank soul mentor exclaimed in shock, "This... what kind of terrifying soul ring configuration, all of them are actually over 100,000-year soul rings.
And that golden soul ring, what is it? Could it be the legendary million-year soul ring?"
Kong Deming, watching Wang Chen integrate his own martial soul into the soul tool, his eyes suddenly flashed with brilliant light: "Level 10 soul tool! And it has perfectly fused with his own martial soul.
This is the life-bound soul tool method that I had not perfected! And this martial soul, this powerful soul ring configuration.
Fusing a martial soul with nine over 100,000 years added to the soul tool.
This directly elevates the soul tool to an unimaginable degree.
This might have far exceeded level 10 soul tool; calling it level 11 or even level 12 wouldn't be an exaggeration!"
Just as everyone was shocked by Wang Chen's soul ring configuration.
The four words "Space Confinement" rang in everyone's ears.
In an instant, from Xu Jing, Kong Deming, down to the ordinary soul mentors of the soul mentor legions.
Within a hundred-kilometre radius above Mingdu, everything was like insects in amber, completely motionless...
