Chapter 605: Total Annihilation!
"Huo Yuhao, what have you done?!"
Dai Yueheng was on the verge of breaking down, his eyes filled with pain as tears streamed down his face.
He had never imagined that today he would witness his father's death right before his eyes.
Beside him, Xuanji Douluo was equally shocked.
Had Huo Yuhao already reached a level where he could completely overpower Dai Hao?
Was that why he had killed him so easily?
This thought briefly crossed his mind before he dismissed it.
Dai Hao was a Titled Douluo, after all.
Huo Yuhao was certainly a genius, but in terms of pure strength, he should not have been Dai Hao's match.
It was impossible for him to kill Dai Hao in a one-on-one fight.
So...
Had he misjudged Dai Hao's intentions?
Had Dai Hao really sacrificed himself voluntarily?
Xuanji Douluo felt a headache coming on, but now was not the time to dwell on it.
Their top priority was to escape with Dai Yueheng.
He grabbed the distraught Dai Yueheng and transmitted a message to the remaining Star Luo troops:
"Attack Huo Yuhao! Cover Yueheng's retreat!"
There was no choice.
Dai Hao was already dead.
But the White Tiger Duke's title still needed an heir, and the most suitable candidate was Dai Yueheng.
The remaining Star Luo soldiers were filled with a mixture of grief and fury.
Their soul rings flared, ready to launch a suicidal charge at Huo Yuhao, hoping to draw the enemy's attention and secure Dai Yueheng's escape.
But then
Huo Yuhao raised his hand.
And clenched his fist in midair.
In that instant
A semi-transparent, half-real, half-ethereal figure materialized beside him.
A face filled with sheer terror.
Dai Hao's soul.
The Star Luo soldiers froze.
One of them even called out in shock:
"Marshal?!"
No matter what had just happened, Dai Hao was still their commander.
In terms of rank, even Xuanji Douluo who surpassed him in strength had to defer to him in the military hierarchy.
And now…
His soul was in Huo Yuhao's grasp.
This moment of hesitation proved fatal.
In that split second, Sun Moon Empire's artillery roared to life.
A storm of soul cannon fire rained down, instantly engulfing the Star Luo remnants.
Screams filled the battlefield.
"Yuhao, I was wrong! Please, spare me!
Yun'er! Yun'er, say something!"
Dai Hao's soul trembled in absolute fear, but under Huo Yuhao's divine sense, he could not move or resist at all.
Beside them, Huo Yun'er simply closed her eyes, refusing to acknowledge him.
Her silence spoke louder than words.
"Huo Yuhao," a voice called out.
"You have your chance for revenge."
A black-robed figure stepped forward.
As she pulled back her hood, crimson armor gleamed under the night sky.
It was Ju Zi.
Her eyes burned with hatred as she stared at Dai Hao.
"Dai Hao!" she spat.
"Twenty years ago, you led your army to invade the Sun Moon Empire's border cities.
You killed my father.
My mother died from grief.
Tonight I will have my revenge!"
She drew a soul-guided longsword infused with spiritual attacks.
Then, she began to slash at Dai Hao's soul.
Screams of pure agony tore from Dai Hao's lips.
His soul was far more resilient than that of an ordinary person due to his Titled Douluo cultivation.
But that only meant his suffering lasted longer.
Ju Zi continued to hack away at him, each stroke carving excruciating pain into his very essence.
By the time she was finished, Dai Hao had been completely erased.
There was nothing left of him.
No soul.
No chance of resurrection.
Huo Yuhao shifted his gaze.
His eyes locked onto Xuanji Douluo.
"Ye Yulin," he transmitted telepathically.
"I'll restrain Xuanji Douluo.
You kill him."
Xuanji Douluo had already taken Dai Yueheng and fled a distance away.
But just as he thought they were getting away
A flash of blue light streaked past his vision.
A wave of dizziness crashed over him.
His body froze.
His soul power stagnated.
He couldn't move.
Despair crept into his heart.
In that moment, he finally understood
Dai Hao hadn't thrown his life away.
He had simply been unable to resist.
Even though Huo Yuhao's divine sense wasn't limitless, it was still overwhelming to someone who had no affinity for spiritual power.
For Xuanji Douluo, it was like being trapped in an inescapable nightmare.
Behind him
A shadow emerged.
Ye Yulin.
The Sun Moon general wore a pair of silver gauntlets.
With a thunderous clap, he slammed both hands into Xuanji Douluo's back, his soul power erupting.
Xuanji Douluo's heart and lungs were shattered.
The light faded from his eyes.
His body plummeted from the sky.
But before he could hit the ground, a dark gate materialized below.
The Gate of Necromancy.
Xuanji Douluo's corpse was swallowed whole.
"Xuanji Grandpa!"
Dai Yueheng screamed.
A split second later
Ye Yulin struck him, rendering him unconscious.
"Commander Huo, what do we do with Dai Yueheng?" Ye Yulin asked.
His eyes held a newfound respect for Huo Yuhao.
To be able to suppress two Titled Douluos so effortlessly…
"Kill him," Huo Yuhao replied coldly.
In the original timeline, Dai Yueheng had been complicit in hiding Huo Yuhao's existence from Dai Hao.
Now that Dai Hao was dead, there was no reason to let his heir live.
Ye Yulin nodded.
"Should I do it, or would you like the honor?"
"I'll do it," Huo Yuhao said.
He grabbed Dai Yueheng's head.
A sickening crack echoed through the air.
It was over.
Moments later, the Sun Moon forces wiped out the last of the Star Luo remnants.
The night air reeked of blood.
Huo Yuhao sighed.
Even with his divine sense, suppressing two Titled Douluos had been mentally exhausting.
Finally, Ye Yulin approached.
"Commander Huo, the battlefield is secured.
What are your orders?"
"Return to camp," Huo Yuhao said.
With a wave of his hand, he activated a teleportation spell.
And just like that
The White Tiger Duke's legacy was erased from history.
