Chapter 118 Sun and Moon Cannon

At this time, the Sun-Moon Empire, which was the center of the vortex of fate two years later, was also undercurrent.

In recent months, the health of the old emperor of the Sun-Moon Empire has been getting worse day by day.

In the past few days, the rare treasures collected by the Sun and Moon royal family from all over the place were transported to the palace in carts as if they were free, and then one empty carriage after another drove out.

This now extremely silent palace seemed like a bottomless pit, swallowing up all these carriages and horses.

At the same time, it was like a dying beast struggling in vain, trying to save its own life.

At this time, the most noble palace of the Sun-Moon Empire was unusually quiet. Even the palace servants, imperial physicians, and soul masters who came and went in a hurry were silent and did not make a sound.

Faint gasps could be heard, as rapid as the sound of a bellows. In a side hall next to the old emperor's bedroom, a man in a wheelchair looked out the window at the magnificent palace with a cold look in his eyes.

"Father, oh father, why don't you just want to die honestly?" Xu Tianran appeared calm on the surface, and even when the old emperor was in critical condition, he rushed here as soon as possible, acting like a filial son.

But there is no doubt that he is the one who most wants the old emperor to die.

Ever since the Holy Spirit Church established cooperation with the Star Forest on behalf of the Sun-Moon Empire, the status of the Holy Spirit Church in the Sun-Moon Empire has risen.

Because of this, unlike in the original novel, the current Xu Tianran has already taken advantage of the development of the Holy Spirit Church to bring most of the court of the Sun Moon Empire under his control.

As for his other brothers and sisters, they could no longer pose a threat to him. Although for the ruthless and cunning Xu Tianran, his brothers and sisters were not a threat at all.

However, compared to the original novel, it took him two years to almost complete his control over the Sun Moon Empire. Today, Xu Tianran, with the help of the rise of the Holy Spirit Church, is undoubtedly clearing away those who hinder him more quickly.

Therefore, he now looks forward to the death of his father, the previous emperor of the Sun-Moon Empire.

Only in this way could he ascend the throne as the new emperor. Even though the old emperor's health had been deteriorating in recent days and he was even listed as regent in advance, it could not extinguish his growing ambition.

However, a moment later, the imperial physician in the palace announced that after consuming a large amount of rare treasures, the old emperor's condition finally stabilized, which also dashed Xu Tianran's hopes.

"Hmph." Although he was unhappy, Xu Tianran did not show it on the surface, nor did he try to get the Holy Spirit Church to take action to eliminate the old emperor in advance.

This was true even though the Holy Spirit Church had made all the necessary preparations and even came to Xu Tianran for help several times.

Although he hoped that the old emperor would die, Xu Tianran knew that this matter could never be done by him, let alone have the slightest connection with him, not to mention that the one who asked for his orders was an evil soul master from the Holy Spirit Church.

If he really nodded in agreement, he would undoubtedly put a heavy handle on himself in the hands of the other party. As long as the Holy Spirit Church exposed it, even if Xu Tianran ascended to the throne, he would undoubtedly suffer a very serious blow.

After all, Kong Deming, the great priest of the Sun-Moon Empire and the most powerful soul mentor in the Sun-Moon Empire, has long been dissatisfied with the father and son because of their temporary cooperation with the Holy Spirit Church.

The royal family of the Sun-Moon Empire, apart from their father and son's line, still has many other relatives. If the Holy Spirit Church really goes crazy, they will be stabbed in the back.

Then the other members of the Pang clan would certainly take this opportunity to cause trouble, and Kong Deming would probably also take advantage of the situation.

After all, for this great priest, all he had to ensure was that the foundation of the Sun-Moon Empire would not be lost, but which lineage was the main lineage was not important to him at all.

Therefore, the closer he is to the throne, the more he cannot afford to make any mistakes. After all, in recent years, the soul guide forces headed by Mingdetang and Kong Deming have gradually surpassed those loyal officials in the Sun and Moon Empire in terms of reputation due to the advancement of soul guide technology.

However, it took Xu Tianran a long time to truly defeat these soul mentors. Perhaps after he ascended the throne and became emperor, these high-level soul mentors would assist him under the leadership of Kong Deming.

But now, the only person they are loyal to is the old emperor of the Sun-Moon Empire.

"The emperor has ordered that His Royal Highness the Regent come to the throne!" A palace maid's shrill voice rang out from outside the palace.

With the help of the maid behind him, Xu Tianran reorganized his thoughts and walked out of the hall in his wheelchair.

Unlike the royal family of the Sun-Moon Empire who were harboring ulterior motives at this time, in a secret soul guide experimental base, a group of ninth-level soul guides who were considered powerful in the outside world were now rejoicing like children.

"Finally, it finally worked. Plan No. 1 was successful. There will be no more obstacles to my future as a soul mentor!"

"Hahaha, I can't wait to see the pride of the Three Kingdoms' spirit masters being crushed by the Empire's iron cavalry!"

In the midst of indescribable joy, some words that can be said, or cannot be said, came out of the mouths of these ninth-level soul masters.

But no one cared at this time, because the plan code-named No. 1, which was also the plan that the Sun-Moon Empire promoted most vigorously, had finally achieved its final result. The first level 10 soul engineer in history was born!

Just like the standard for a ninth-level soul engineer, the standard for a tenth-level soul engineer is to possess a complete tenth-level soul guide device.

The standard that the tenth-level soul guide device is benchmarked against is the Extreme Douluo above the Super Douluo level, but the existence of the soul guide device can give one a slight advantage when facing a soul master of the same level.

After all, soul masters have to consider their own losses, while soul guides can release maximum power most of the time.

Unlike the ninth-level half-soul engineer in the original novel who could only use a tenth-level soul guide with the help of multiple people, Kong Deming is now a true tenth-level soul engineer!

Looking at the huge soul guide turret in front of them, which was hidden in the underground experimental base and made of red gold and silver white, everyone's eyes were filled with pride.

With the help of the research results designed using the crystal previously pried off from the fire dragon egg as a template, this tenth-level soul guide device named Sun and Moon Cannon has broken free from the limitations of energy sources.

Relying on Kong Deming's own unique twin martial souls and the soul power of a level 95 Super Douluo, he can activate it normally by himself and unleash its full power.

Its range is unimaginable, and even more terrifying, enough to reach the border of the Mingdou Mountains from Mingdu. You should know that this range is far beyond all previous soul guides. This is because the research on Fire Dragon Crystals has enabled the Sun-Moon Empire to develop a special packaging technology for energy.

This means that the soul guide cannon's bombardment will not be lost even if it travels thousands of miles, which makes it have a range that is beyond the imagination of soul guides and soul masters in the past.

However, at such a long distance, even if the operator is Kong Deming, the most top-notch soul guide in the Sun-Moon Empire, and even if he is equipped with a large number of high-altitude reconnaissance soul guides, it is difficult to achieve a precise strike.

Because of this, the attack launched by the Sun and Moon Cannon has two modes to choose from.

One of them is a group attack mode called Fiery Sun in the Sky, whose attack range is even enough to cover an imperial capital like Mingdu. When it appears on the battlefield or in the territory of another country, the threat it poses will be self-evident.

The second is the single-point sniper mode called Silver Moon Huaguang. According to the power prediction of this mode, even an Extreme Douluo powerhouse will die if hit head-on by it.

However, the intensity of the first attack mode is unlikely to pose a threat to an Extreme Douluo powerhouse. At most, it can only make it difficult for him to escape from his attack range.

Therefore, the second attack mode was developed on this basis. The reason why Kong Deming was the only one who became a level 10 soul engineer was not only because he was a level 95 Super Douluo and the only one who could control the Sun and Moon Cannon.

The second reason is because of his martial soul. As the owner of twin martial souls, he inherited the most proud martial souls of the royal family of the Sun-Moon Empire, the sun and the moon.

The Sun and Moon Cannon was tailor-made for him, which involves another concept, that is, the natal soul guide.

With his own martial soul and the cultivation of a Super Douluo, he can control the power of heaven and earth by integrating with the soul guide.

After Kong Deming merged with the Sun-Moon-In-The-Sky Cannon, the cannon's energy and the artillery fire from it naturally became like a part of his limbs.

On this basis, through the attack of the scorching sun in the sky to sense the existence of the enemy in the battlefield, and then with the help of the silver moon's brilliance to kill those remaining strong men, the sun and the moon are in the same sky, this is the origin of the name of this soul guide.

High-intensity, large-scale energy bombardment can even cause space shocks to a certain extent, making it difficult for even the Ultimate Douluo powerhouses covered by the bombardment range to escape through space means.

However, all the data of this soul guide are only calculated on paper and have never been tested in real combat. It may be stronger or weaker, no one can say for sure.

Because it is a level ten soul guide, and an attack soul guide at that, although it is extremely powerful, the energy required to activate it is also an astronomical figure that is difficult to imagine. In addition, the noise it makes when activated is too loud, making it difficult to hide.

Moreover, since it is Kong Deming's natal soul guide, and coupled with its unique energy packaging technology, the only person who can supply energy for it is Kong Deming.

With Kong Deming's current soul power, in order to support the full-power output of the Sun and Moon Cannon, he would need to charge it for at least a year.

But no one was dissatisfied with this. A year was not long at all to get a soul guide attack that was powerful enough to destroy a country!
After all, one strike from the Sun and Moon Cannon is enough to annihilate all the main forces of any major force on the entire continent.

However, unlike the excitement of the ninth-level soul masters, Kong Deming was secretly sighing in his heart, feeling regretful.

This is due to the unexpected failure of Plan No. 3.

This is different from the humanoid soul guide device plan in the original novel, which can only be regarded as a show of skill and is not taken seriously by Kong Deming.

After obtaining the Fire Dragon Crystal, Kong Deming placed extremely high expectations on the humanoid soul guide project being researched by Mingdetang.

Because unlike the various difficult-to-solve difficulties in the original work, with the fire dragon crystal, many of the originally insurmountable difficulties can be easily solved.

That's why Kong Deming spent a huge amount of money and consumed a large amount of fire dragon crystals to purify them as research materials for Mingdetang and Jing Hongchen.

It was just that during the previous riot in Mingde Hall, someone took it away in the chaos, while the other fire dragon crystals were taken away by Di Tian along with the fire dragon eggs.

Therefore, Plan No. 3, which was originally second only to the Sun and Moon Cannon and the Death Tower, has been put in an indefinite state of being shelved.

In Kong Deming's original plan, if Plan No. 3 could succeed, he would possess two level 10 soul guides at the same time, and these two level 10 soul guides would complement each other.

With the help of the function of the humanoid soul guide as a transit, a large amount of energy from the external environment can be purified to charge the Sun and Moon Cannon, which can be said to be perfect.

However, the long charging time required for the Sun and Moon Cannon is the only flaw of this most powerful soul guide in Kong Deming's eyes.

"Forget it, forget it. It's impossible for everything to go smoothly. Now that the development of the Sun and Moon Cannon has been completed, it is already a rare surprise."

After Kong Deming dismissed the other ninth-level soul masters, he stroked the Sun and Moon Cannon in front of him, with pride hidden in his eyes.

He has always believed that man can conquer nature, and soul guides are the power that belongs to mankind, while using soul rings and soul skills is nothing more than seeking from soul beasts.

And this Sun and Moon Cannon was the perfect answer he gave himself.

Now the court is in turmoil, the old emperor is critically ill, and many pro-war factions are voicing their opinions. As the chief minister, Kong Deming knows that war is inevitable.

The reputation of Shrek Academy is declining day by day. Even though the evil soul masters such as the Holy Spirit Church are the driving force behind this, what does he have to fear now?

Kong Deming sneered. In his eyes, the so-called Holy Spirit Church was nothing more than a group of hiding rats. If they wanted to come to the fore, that would be fine.

This is a good opportunity to wipe out these pests in one fell swoop, and in this way, we can also eradicate the long-buried hidden dangers for the Sun and Moon Empire.

However, Kong Deming still had some concerns in his heart at this time, that was Di Tian. Although he had only had a brief confrontation with the Beast God Di Tian before, he vaguely realized that the strength of the Beast God seemed to be hidden, so he was not very confident.

"Beast God Emperor Tian. I hope it will not block the Sun Moon Empire's progress because of the existence of the Holy Spirit Church."
