Unrivaled Tang Sect Volume 34 Chapter 480 Part1

At the same time, he wanted to see if the Sun Moon Empire had installed any spiritual barriers inside the Heavenly Soul Empire's Imperial Palace. If they did, the place in which they did so had to be the most important. Either an important figure or object was bound to be there. He wasn't afraid of being discovered. He was confident in his ability to flee this place quickly.

He instantly unleashed his Spiritual Detection, and a three-dimensional structure of the entire palace appeared in his head. He squinted his eyes and sensed the slight changes around him. He also fully imprinted the three-dimensional structure of the palace in his mind using his immense spiritual power. This would be important for his next visit here.

Indeed, just like he had expected, he detected three places where spiritual powers interacted. This meant that there were spiritual barriers in those three places. Those three places were all located near the center of the palace.

However, no alarm sounded. The palace was very quiet, as if the spiritual barriers that had been touched didn't have any effect at all.

Huo Yuhao wasn't complacent at all. After detecting for three seconds, he instantly shut off his Spiritual Detection. At the same time, he quickly unleashed his Spiritual Interference Domain and used his spiritual avatar to leave behind a streak of his spiritual power to maintain his Spiritual Interference where he was. He instantly teleported fifty meters away before fleeing in a direction that he had identified earlier.

He had found out many things after that brief period of Spiritual Detection.

Indeed, a few seconds after he teleported away, two black figures had already silently come to where he was. A huge black web, carrying a slightly fishy smell, fell from the sky and instantly engulfed the streak of spiritual power that Huo Yuhao left behind.

His spiritual power immediately dissipated and disappeared. His Spiritual Interference Domain also vanished, and everything turned dark once again.

"What?" A slightly surprised sound resonated. Following this, two figures fell to the ground.

"What's going on? There's no one?" An elderly-sounding voice was heard.

The other person was also puzzled, and said, "This shouldn't be the case! Earlier, I sensed that the person unleas.h.i.+ng his spiritual power was over here. I can't be wrong. This person's spiritual power was strong. He might be a spiritual-type t.i.tled Douluo. I didn't expect someone as strong as him among the remaining losers in the Heavenly Soul Empire. However, he's very sensitive. After discovering our spiritual barrier, he quickly fled. But it's not so easy for him to flee." The voice of this person talking was very sharp, but their gender was unclear. His frail figure was concealed by a black veil. The person beside him was a tall and large elder. His sinister gaze was still flas.h.i.+ng amidst the darkness. He had long, greyish hair that flowed behind his back, while his burly figure was also concealed by his black clothing.

There was an image of a ball of white flame on their chests.

"Come, let's follow his spiritual aura to find him. He can't escape." The frail man in black snorted coldly, and a deep purple halo was released from his body. This halo was like an oscillation as it spread outward. During this process, slight oscillations appeared in the direction that Huo Yuhao had escaped from earlier.

"Oh? This fellow seems to be able to teleport. I only discovered traces of him fifty meters away. It's a pity that it's me. Hmph. Let's go and chase him." As he spoke, the frail man in black immediately leaped up and charged into the sky like a bolt of lightning. He pursued Huo Yuhao in the direction that he had escaped in.

The other elder followed closely behind him with his toes touching the ground. He let out intense white light from his body. At the same time, nine soul rings rose from beneath his feet.

The colors of these nine soul rings were very weird. Two of them were yellow, two of them were purple, and five were black. It was an ordinary combination of colors, but each soul ring had a blurry layer of color on it. This caused the original, bright colors of the soul rings to become much dimmer. This was especially so for the five black soul rings. If not for the fact that they could be compared to the pitch-black clothing he was in, the difference in their colors might actually be overlooked.

Without a doubt, this elder was a t.i.tled Douluo, whereas the frail man in black was actually surrounded by a layer of distorted light. Traces of yellow, purple and black could be seen, but it was unclear how many soul rings he possessed.

The two figures quickly chased in a specific direction. Very soon, they came to the small lakeside that Huo Yuhao had used to hide.

While the Heavenly Soul Empire's Imperial Palace was very expansive, that was mainly because of the structures in the palace. For powerful soul masters like Huo Yuhao, they quickly came to the boundaries of the palace as they unleashed their full strength.

Huo Yuhao was above the lake. If he moved forward any further, he would be within the range of the surveillance soul tools surrounding the palace. His Spiritual Detection was still in use. Due to his all-around detection earlier, he clearly knew where all the spiritual barriers were. Right now, he just needed to move his Spiritual Detection around those three spiritual barriers, and the entire palace would basically be under his detection.

He naturally discovered the two people that were chasing him. The two of them were very quick. That elder was a t.i.tled Douluo. As for the other man, Huo Yuhao was unable to clearly tell. However, the other guy had to at least be an advanced-tier Soul Douluo if he wasn't a t.i.tled Douluo, judging from his spiritual undulations.

Evil soul master? A cold grin surfaced at the corner of Huo Yuhao's lips. Following this, he charged straight towards a wall of the palace. At this moment, he seemed not to care about being discovered by the surveillance soul tools.

"Ring ring ring!" Deafening alarms sounded in the next moment. The entire palace was alarmed. Beams of light subtly appeared in the sky. Evidently, the aerial surveillance soul tools were scanning in this direction.

Not only this, beams of soul rays started to surface from above the palace walls. They were all sweeping towards his direction. The Sun Moon Empire did well in erecting a defense as strong as this even though they had only occupied the Heavenly Soul Empire for a short period of time.

A cold and mysterious look appeared on Huo Yuhao's face. He twisted his body in the air before his soul thruster lit up. Instantly, he charged towards the streets outside the palace. He unleashed his Imitation, and immediately disappeared.

Even if there were oscillation detectors, they still needed time to adjust and come over. By the time they arrived , Huo Yuhao would be long gone. It was impossible to follow him directly, given that his Imitation was in use.

Two figures were also chasing him at great speed. Just as they flew above the lake, tremendous booms sounded.

"Boom——"

The entire lake seemed to have been mined with countless bombs. A terrifying explosion ensued, and almost the entire Heaven Dou City could hear them. Amidst the resonating booms, the lake became the most frightening explosive. Countless ice flakes flew everywhere, and the immense explosive force blew apart the layer of ice that had formed on the surface of the lake.

This explosion was too sudden. There weren't any clues before it happened. When it occurred, the frail man in black and the elder were both astonished. They were both pure soul masters, thus they didn't have any automatic defensive soul tools on them. When the explosion occurred, they could only subconsciously circulate their soul power to resist it. Both their bodies were instantly flung high up into the air.

The frightening explosive force continued to surge upwards as the lake instantly expanded to five times its original size. The huge structures around it were immediately taken down by this explosion. Even the wide and thick palace walls collapsed.

The strength of this explosion was equivalent to an all-out attack from an ice-type t.i.tled Douluo. Although Huo Yuhao was a Soul Sage, he had been acc.u.mulating power there for almost an hour. He had drained a lot of his soul power before he completed his Ice Explosion Technique. In addition, he had frozen the lake water into ice beforehand. The entire process took a lot of effort.

He wanted to achieve a result just like this.

The surrounding distorted lights around the frail soul master disappeared following the explosion, revealing his eight soul rings. He was already coughing up blood in the air.

When Huo Yuhao had escaped earlier, he sneakily stuck close to the lake's surface as he flew. For this frail soul master to follow his spiritual trail, he naturally had to follow Huo Yuhao's escape route closely. This was why both of them were almost at the center of the explosion, and were sent high up into the air by Huo Yuhao's Ice Explosion Technique.

The elder was faring much better, given that he was a t.i.tled Douluo. Although he was caught unawares, he still relied on his abilities to neutralize most of the impact. The other soul master wasn't so fortunate. He was only a Soul Douluo, and he was a spiritual-type soul master. He wasn't adept at defense. As a result, he was immediately hurt critically by the explosion. His legs were blown off, and his soul power also became very messy in his body.

The excruciating pain caused his aura to turn into a huge mess. He was already screaming tragically in the air. Blood was flowing from his pores. Fortunately, his cultivation was rather strong, which saved his life. If he were only a Soul Sage, he would have lost his life to Huo Yuhao's acc.u.mulated Ice Explosion Technique.
