Chapter 257 The Horn of National Demise
The fervor on the faces of the Heavenly Soul elites, who were originally preparing to flatten the bridgehead, was extinguished as if doused with ice water.
Their unstoppable offensive, like a torrent of steel, froze for a moment!
In that instant, everyone's face turned deathly pale, devoid of any color!
To Wang Kaishan's astonishment, the veteran general of Suolong Bridge discovered that the faces of all the Heavenly Soul soldiers did not show shock, but rather a mixture of extreme disbelief, a deep-seated fear, and a sense of horror at the impending arrival of a great terror!
"What's wrong with them?"
A feeling of excitement welled up in Wang Kaishan's heart.
He looked at Huo Yuhao, who had fallen silent in the crowd.
His intuition told him that this young man would be the center of attention.
On the battlefield, time seems to stretch out.
The remaining Douling guards at Suolong Bridge were also bewildered.
They couldn't understand why the enemy, who had been so imposing and about to completely overwhelm them, had suddenly frozen in place as if under a spell.
Is it because of the roar offered by the blazing sun?
But why do their expressions look like they've seen something even more terrifying than a Super Douluo's rage?
"It's over————"
Li Kongming's heart sank suddenly, and a chill instantly shot from his tailbone to the top of his head.
He knew Huo Yuhao too well, and he understood even more what the nickname "little bastard" meant to Huo Yuhao.
This is a taboo that Huo Yuhao absolutely cannot touch; it is the greatest insult to his mother!
Not only on the Dragon Locking Bridge, but all the Heavenly Soul Empire people in a state of heartstring resonance froze at this moment.
At the center of the battlefield, Huo Yuhao paused almost imperceptibly the moment he heard those three words.
There was no roaring, no howling.
But the whole world around him suddenly changed color.
"Heavenly Soul! Retreat immediately!"
Li Kongming's roar, filled with unprecedented panic, resounded in the hearts of every soldier of the Heavenly Soul Army.
The order was given without any hesitation.
Whether it was the heavily armored soldiers at the forefront or the Soul Masters at the rear, they all began to retreat frantically under the questioning gazes of the Douling Guards.
The steel torrent instantly reversed!
The elite soldiers who had just been charging forward fearlessly now unleashed an even faster speed than during their charge, frantically retreating back the way they had come.
Forget about attacking the bridgehead or seizing the Dragon-Locking Bridge; they just want to get as far away from that center point as possible!
The next Azure Dragon King is definitely going to go berserk!
But how terrifying would the Azure Dragon King be after going berserk? The soldiers of Tianhun didn't want to experience it firsthand on the front lines.
"You little bastard?"
Lie Yangtian furrowed his brows, his face flushed red, and subconsciously repeated the name he had shouted in his rage.
The wind stopped.
The roar of artillery fire ceased.
All sounds were swallowed up by a deeper, thicker silence.
Next came the terror of coming back to life!
An indescribable and irresistible ferocity erupted without warning, like a world-destroying beast that had been dormant for billions of years opening its eyes, centered on Huo Yuhao!
All five rings exploded!
Both are in top form!
In a state of communion with the heavens, Huo Yuhao has become the master of this world!
Buzz!
The air groaned under the strain, violently twisting and vibrating.
The sky turned black in that instant.
The thick, bluish-gold lightning bolts were no longer simple electric snakes, but had transformed into a destructive dragon coiled in the sky.
The raging lightning pillars moved wildly, making Huo Yuhao appear like a demon god emerging from a lightning prison!
Huo Yuhao slowly raised his head and looked at the blazing sun.
All composure, and even the glimmer of humanity, vanished from his azure-gold dragon eyes.
Instead, it was replaced by an extremely pure, destructive ferocity.
That gaze was like that of a high and mighty god, filled with murderous intent and indifference, looking down at an ant about to be crushed.
"you----"
When Lie Yangtian met those eyes, his heart felt as if it had been gripped tightly by a giant hand.
An unprecedented, primal fear instantly enveloped him!
He had lived for nearly two hundred years and experienced countless life-and-death battles, but he had never felt such a profound and unforgettable sense of terror!
His entire soul power was frantically warning: Escape! Escape immediately! Otherwise, you will die!
This was the only cry that emanated from the depths of his soul!
Lie Yangtian trembled all over, attempting a final attack on Huo Yuhao.
However, it was too late.
Huo Yuhao didn't make a sound, but slowly raised his palm.
His movements seemed slow, yet they were so fast that they defied the perception of time.
The moment he raised his hand, all the light within the Heavenly Heart Interaction Range of the entire Lock Dragon Bridge area seemed to be swallowed up.
A gigantic finger, crackling with lightning, suddenly materialized in the sky!
Huo Yuhao raised his right hand and gently pressed it down.
Boom! ...
The sky is falling!
The giant finger, wrapped in golden lightning, carrying the power of heaven and earth mobilized by the entire Heavenly Heart Interaction, crashed down!
Great Wilderness Imprisoning Heaven Finger!
Even before the giant finger arrived, the terrifying pressure had already caused the space below to completely distort and collapse.
Lieyangtian was filled with despair.
His proud flames, however small, were like a candle flickering in the wind, or a firefly in the blazing sun, before that giant finger wrapped in world-destroying lightning.
The Dragon-Locking Bridge could not restrain a raging blue dragon.
The first to be annihilated by the Great Wilderness Imprisoning Heaven Finger was Lieyang Tian himself.
His proud fiery domain was like a snowflake thrown into the blazing sun, not even causing a ripple.
Next, there is space itself.
The air around the point where the giant finger landed was instantly sucked out, creating a huge, distorted vacuum collapse.
Visible spatial cracks, like a black spider web, spread and tore wildly from the point of impact!
Finally, there's the Suolong Bridge itself!
This magnificent and incredibly sturdy city, spanning three rivers, burst with a "pop" like a soap bubble.
The steel dragon-shaped Dragon-Locking Bridge, symbolizing communication and defense, had its spine broken by Huo Yuhao's single finger.
More than a third of the cities were completely destroyed under the crushing force of the giant finger.
Inside the Longshoutai Fortress.
Xue Rui shoved aside the servant in front of her and rushed to the huge observation window.
When his gaze pierced through the billowing smoke and saw the enormous hole in the direction of the Dragon-Locking Bridge, as if it had been cleaved open by divine punishment, his upright body swayed violently, and his face instantly turned ashen.
"Divine perception—blocked—"
"Teach me when you have time."
The voice of the Douluo Star Plane's will came out intermittently.
After a long time, the will of the Douluo Star plane finally re-established a connection with Huo Yuhao through the Heavenly Heart Interaction.
Tang Hao, inside the dimensional space, looked at the Douluo Star dimensional will that had grown in power, his eyes almost overflowing with shock.
He now wants to not only separate a wisp of his soul, but also his entire being, to escape the dimensional space.
The will of Douluo Star has become incredibly strange during this period; nothing like this has ever happened in ten thousand years.
"You—you can't escape!"
The light and mist of Douluo Star's will surged violently.
It was no longer a vague form of will, but had transformed into a blurry yet majestic humanoid silhouette.
Tang Hao stared wide-eyed in disbelief.
This chosen one is truly extraordinary!
There's no such thing as heaven relying on someone else's power!
"You bastard!"
Tang Hao was filled with shock and anger, and used the last fragment of his divine position that he had kept hidden.
He frantically burned his remaining Rakshasa power, attempting to tear through space and escape.
However, the will of this plane had already sealed off all the gaps in this space.
The golden chains of law, like a net from heaven and earth, trapped Tang Hao firmly in place.
The will of the Douluo Star Plane wants to turn this space into Tang Hao's grave.
His millennia-long battle of wits with Tang Hao was completely transformed at this moment.
As long as the divine realm doesn't intervene, it will only be a matter of time before He obliterates Tang Hao!
Outside, after sorting through the fragmented information, Huo Yuhao turned his head slightly and looked at the Dragon Head Platform Fortress.
There, lives the emperor of the Douling Empire.
But he didn't stop; his gaze, like a cold blade, instantly turned towards the direction of Fenshuiguan.
The collapse of the Dragon Lock Bridge completely severed the backbone of the Douling Empire's defense system across the eight vertical and horizontal regions.
The connection between Longshoutai and Chenshadu has been severed, and it has become an isolated island.
More than a third of the city, along with the elite fighting spirits and the veteran Wang Kaishan who desperately roared in an attempt to blow up all the bridges, were completely reduced to dust, leaving not a trace.
Meanwhile, the pressure on Fenshui Pass, the last vital point bearing the brunt of the Tianhun Eastern Army's fierce attack, instantly doubled.
The psychological defenses of the Douling garrison were likely already crumbling amidst the deafening roar of the collapsing Dragon Lock Bridge.
Fenshuiguan City Wall.
The battles here were already incredibly fierce.
The main force of the Heavenly Soul Eastern Army, like a tireless behemoth, relentlessly assaulted the pass wave after wave.
The city walls were already riddled with holes, and the soul power, physical strength, and will of the fighting spirit defenders were being rapidly depleted.
When the devastating energy fluctuations from the direction of the Dragon Lock Bridge arrived, the entire battlefield came to a standstill.
Immediately following was a terrifying roar that made the earth tremble.
The garrison at Fenshuiguan, whether officers or ordinary soldiers, instinctively turned their heads to look.
When they saw that colossal, world-destroying finger descend, an indescribable panic spread like a plague.
Although the details are unclear, it was not caused by human intervention, but by a massive natural disaster, enough to break the last taut nerves of the defenders of Fenshuiguan.
Boom!
Click!
At this moment, Fenshuiguan was hit by another heavy artillery barrage from the main force of the Tianhun Eastern Army, which had been preparing for a long time!
The already crumbling section of the city wall, under the desperate pressure from both inside and outside, finally gave way, groaning loudly as it collapsed inward, creating a huge gap!
"The city wall has fallen!!"
"Charge in! Take the watershed!"
The soldiers of the Heavenly Soul Eastern Army roared furiously, like sharks smelling blood, and surged madly toward the breach!
Fenshui Pass, the last vital point of the Douling Empire in the Eight Vertical and Horizontal Regions, finally fell due to the chain reaction of the destruction of the Locking Dragon Bridge.
Longshoutai is now completely isolated.
The water-dividing pass is wide open.
The crossing of Chensha is within easy reach.
With its eight vertical and horizontal axes, nothing could stand in its way under the iron hooves of the Heavenly Soul Empire!
At this moment, the horns of the Douling Empire's demise resounded completely!
