The Sun God Needle.

This is the renowned soul guide of the ninth-level soul master, Ye Yulin, from the Sun Moon Empire.

Ye Yulin possesses a talent for crafting soul guides that is on par with Jing Hongchen, making him one of the three ninth-level soul masters in the Sun Moon Empire, and he is extraordinarily powerful. The Sun God Needle is his signature soul guide.

The Sun God Needle is the most successful high-altitude strike soul guide.

It can ascend to an altitude of over a thousand meters, accurately targeting objectives within a thirty-kilometer radius on the ground.

Its power is terrifyingly amplified under sunlight during the day.

However, its greatest drawback is the need for charging; it can only be charged up to three shots and is limited to daytime use.

The Sun Martial Soul is clearly more compatible with the Sun God Needle, enabling it to unleash even more terrifying power.

With Kong Deming's soul power fueling it, the Sun God Needle's might is likely comparable to a strike from a Limit Douluo.

Xian Lin'er was genuinely frightened and hurriedly explained, "An existence like you poses too great a threat by easily crossing imperial boundaries. I only represent Shrek to confirm your return to the Sun Moon Empire!"

However, Kong Deming showed no signs of relenting.

While her reasoning was valid—after all, Kong Deming feared that Shrek's Moon would come to the Sun Moon Empire to cause trouble, and Moon had been there before—he couldn't understand why it was an issue for him to visit the Starluo Empire.

Why should I have to report to you about my actions?

The Sun God Needle emitted a dazzling golden light.

In the distance, Su Yu gazed at the entity in the sky that resembled another sun, feeling profoundly shocked.

The members of the Sun Moon Royal Team around him shared similar expressions of awe.

Boom!

The charged golden light finally descended.

The golden laser shot toward Xian Lin'er.

Xian Lin'er was filled with dread and unleashed her full power.

"Seventh Soul Skill: True Martial Soul!"

"Eighth Soul Skill: Azure Flame Overlord Body!"

At the same time, a golden shield emerged around her.

An invincible eighth-level shield.

The invincible shield was developed from the Invincible Golden Body soul skill, using the Sun Moon Empire's unique golden crystal as a medium. After one use, the core golden crystal is completely destroyed.

The invincible shield requires at least fifth-level soul power to activate and can withstand any attack below the Soul Douluo level for three seconds. The sixth-level invincible shield can even defend against the attacks of ordinary Titled Douluo for three seconds.

A seventh-level invincible shield can withstand any attack below the Super Douluo level for three seconds.

The eighth level is sufficient to resist a Super Douluo's attack for three seconds.

(Xian Lin'er possesses an eighth-level invincible shield, but she had always intended to keep this as her final life-saving equipment. Now, she was forced to use it.)

Even with the eighth-level invincible shield in place, she still erupted with all her power to withstand the remaining destructive force after the laser pierced through the invincible shield.

Boom!

After witnessing the energy cannon injure Poison Immortal, he decisively retreated.

He paid no attention to the soul kings killed by the Sun Moon Royal Team.

After all, they were not soul masters of the Body Sect.

There was no need for him to manage their corpses.

The Sun God Needle charged for another shot.

A terrifying beam struck Poison Immortal.

Poison Immortal defended with all his strength; after barely enduring the hit, he fled in a frenzy.

Half of Xian Lin'er's body was mangled, with a gaping hole blasted in her chest.

Gritting her teeth, she maintained her True Martial Soul form and quickly flew away.

The Sun God Needle fired its final shot.

A deadly laser shot from behind.

Xian Lin'er clenched her teeth and dodged.

The laser whizzed past her, releasing a shockwave that nearly toppled her, and her wounds felt as if they were being pricked by needles.

Ultimately, the laser struck a military camp of the Starluo Empire ten miles away.

Boom!

"Let's go!"

Kong Deming led the Sun Moon Royal Team across the border and entered the Sun Moon Empire.

Luan Feng, the leader of the Fire Phoenix Soul Master Corps, one of the four major soul master legions in the Sun Moon Empire, was stationed at the border.

Upon the outbreak of the battle, she rushed over and was shocked by the light emitted by the Sun God Needle in the sky.

She had already suspected Kong Deming's identity on her way there, and upon seeing him, her suspicions were confirmed.

"Fire Phoenix Soul Master Corps leader, Luan Feng, pays respects to Elder Kong!"

"Hmm, what is the current situation on both sides?" Kong Deming inquired.

"Report to Elder Kong, the Fire Phoenix Soul Master Corps is currently deterring the Starluo Empire's front lines, resulting in minor skirmishes, but large-scale warfare has yet to break out."

"The pressure on the Starluo Empire is still insufficient."

Luan Feng immediately expressed her intent to escalate pressure on the Starluo Empire's military.

Kong Deming nodded and instructed Luan Feng to retrieve a map.

After examining it, he pointed to a location thirty kilometers northeast of their position.

"Send two Titled Douluo equipped with detection soul guides to search here."

Having spent a lifetime working with soul guides, Kong Deming was exceptionally accurate in assessing his own damage and Xian Lin'er's injuries.

He could even predict her landing point.

She wouldn't die.

But she certainly wouldn't escape.

"She's probably half incapacitated and seriously injured. If we have the chance to capture her alive, we should; if not, we'll have to kill her."

"Understood!"

Luan Feng quickly selected two trusted subordinates, equipping them with complete soul guide gear before sending them off to search for their target.

"Teacher, how can you be sure she won't seek help from the Starluo Empire's military?"

Kong Deming smiled and countered, "Do you know where that last shot from the Sun God Needle landed after she dodged it?"

Su Yu's lips twitched.

Experience speaks for itself.

Even though his teacher's soul power had broken through, making him act even more confidently, he remained thorough.

This would not lead to a complete rupture, but it was inevitable that relations between the Starluo Empire and Shrek would deteriorate.

"Luan Feng, send someone to inform the Royal Dragon Soul Master Corps that they are permitted to launch an eighth-level fixed-position soul guide artillery shell toward the Heavenly Soul Empire."

Luan Feng's hair stood on end.

It seemed that the Sun Moon Empire's foreign policy was about to undergo a significant change.

The eighth-level fixed-position soul guide artillery shell was rarely deployed by the Sun Moon Empire during warfare.

Yet today, Elder Kong directly authorized one.

It seemed like just a warning to the Body Sect and the Heavenly Soul Empire.

But in reality, was it not also a shift in the Sun Moon Empire's stance?

After resting for two days at the Fire Phoenix Soul Master Corps camp, Luan Feng sent an elite unit to escort the members of the Sun Moon Royal Team back to Mingdu.

Su Yu and Kong Deming left the group to head toward the Jingyang Mountains.

Seeing that Kong Deming's second martial soul only had four soul rings, Su Yu couldn't help but ask.

"Teacher, your second martial soul—"

Kong Deming's wrist-mounted soul guide vibrated.

He smiled and said, "I've captured her alive."

Su Yu understood who his teacher was referring to.

"If I remember correctly, Jing mentioned that your former roommate was a spy from Shrek.

I think he's the nephew of Qian Duoduo, the vice president of Shrek's Soul Engineering Department, right?

What a coincidence that the one we captured this time, Xian Lin'er, the God of War Douluo, is Qian Duoduo's wife."
