Chapter 308: Five Elements Bombs: The Fall of the Bala Kingdom

After everyone had evacuated to a safe place, under the gaze of all the soldiers, Zhu Zhuqing prepared to activate these five Five Elements Bombs.

She had the soldiers bring a map of the Bala Kingdom, and after discussing with Xue Ke and other Cabinet ministers, she selected five key locations.

These five locations were the five most important places in the Bala Kingdom.

If these five places were destroyed, the Bala Kingdom would basically be considered truly fallen.

The activation method for these Five Elements Bombs was completely different from ordinary Soul Guidance Devices; Jerry had made special settings for them.

In this way, even if other people obtained the Five Elements Bombs, they would have no way to use them.

The surface of the Five Elements Bomb was completely sealed, without a single gap visible; to activate it, the primary condition was that one must possess Divine Power or be able to project Spirit Power externally.

Through the outer shell of the Five Elements Bomb, Divine Power would reveal an operation panel inside, and there was a secret setting on the panel; one had to answer the password correctly before being able to proceed to the next step.

The setting of the password was also something Jerry had pondered deeply before deciding.

He ensured that this password was one that, besides himself, no one else would know, and one that could not even be guessed.

Upon meeting the operation panel, three characters appeared: "Destroy!" followed by a horizontal line.

To enter the operation panel, one had to complete the preceding phrase on the horizontal line that followed.

"Destroy!"

There were too many things that could follow these three characters! If one had not transmigrated from the modern Earth, it would likely be very difficult to think of the following words.

Yet Zhu Zhuqing did not pause; on the panels of the five bombs, she simultaneously entered "I'm tired!".

Then the password interface disappeared, and the operation interface appeared.

The operation interface was very simple: one part was for location setting, and the other was for launch termination.

Zhu Zhuqing used her Divine Power to tap directly into the location setting, and in these five Five Elements Bombs, she entered the five locations respectively.

Then Zhu Zhuqing turned to look at the soldiers below and shouted loudly: "Launch!".

At the same time she shouted these two words, Zhu Zhuqing used her Divine Power to tap the launch icon below the operation panel.

"Ding!"

The five bomb Soul Guidance Devices made a sound simultaneously; Zhu Zhuqing was also startled, and then she heard five synchronized voices come through.

"Checking Five Elements Bombs!"

"Normal!"

"Checking location settings!"

"Set!"

"Launch countdown started; before the countdown ends, it can be terminated at any time!"

"10"

"9"

"8"

"7"

"6"

"5"

"4"

"3"

"2"

"1"

"Launch!"

As the countdown ended, a stream of Fire Attribute flames sprayed directly from beneath the five Five Elements Bombs, pushing the bombs to soar into the sky.

The sprayed flames carried a scorching heat wave, which spread out in all directions.

The soldiers who were close by were knocked over directly by this violent, scorching heat wave.

Fortunately, the degree of this heat was still something the soldiers could withstand; it only caused personnel to fall, and no injuries occurred.

When the heat wave rushed out, it also gave Zhu Zhuqing a fright.

Because this bomb had been described as so mysterious, Zhu Zhuqing was also terrified that an accident might occur.

She and Xue Ke had reached the strength of the divine level, so even if an accident happened, the two of them could handle it, but the soldiers around them could not.

Only when the five Five Elements Bombs flew into the sky did Zhu Zhuqing's heart finally calm down.

After all, it was her first time using such a powerful weapon, and Zhu Zhuqing had to be extremely cautious.

The news that the Two Great Empires had fully withdrawn from the Bala Kingdom soon reached the hands of Tang San and the Elders.

Tang San and all the Elders felt very happy when they saw the news of the Two Great Empires' retreat.

The Elders believed that the Two Great Empires had been shocked by the strength of the Title Douluo, which was why they had taken the initiative to withdraw their troops.

Therefore, they were all immersed in the joy of the war's victory and began discussing where to go to celebrate the victory of the war later.

But Tang San suddenly felt that something was not right; if he were the emperor of the Two Great Empires, although he had been caught off guard by the enemy's Title Douluo at this time, it had not reached the point of withdrawing troops, and a full withdrawal at that.

This point was also where Tang San felt strange.

In recent years, the world had undergone World Advancement twice, and he was aware of the impact on the entire continent.

In the past, the rarely seen Title Douluo were now not so uncommon.

Wuhun City had the most, and the Two Great Empires still had some as well.

Moreover, this time the Two Great Empires had united; they should have had enough Title Douluo to deal with this incident, and it had not reached the point of withdrawing troops at all.

Even if the Two Great Empires lacked Title Douluo, by virtue of Zhu Zhuqing and Xue Ke's status, it would have been very easy to mobilize a few Title Douluo from the Spirit Hall.

So what was the reason that caused the Two Great Empires to fully withdraw from the Bala Kingdom?

This question kept lingering in Tang San's mind.

All the Elders were cheering and discussing, only Tang San was lost in thought.

He truly could not figure out why the Two Great Empires had withdrawn their troops; was there some greater conspiracy behind this?

Tang San walked to the window and gazed into the distance, in the very direction the Two Great Empires had retreated.

Suddenly, Tang San saw five unknown objects rising into the sky from the direction of the Two Great Empires' retreat.

Tang San's pupils dilated instantly, and a sense of foreboding surged into his heart.

After the five unknown objects reached a certain altitude, they changed direction and scattered, with one of them flying toward the capital of the Bala Kingdom.

The unknown objects were flying very fast, leaving Tang San no time to ponder; he had only one thought in his mind: he must intercept them.

He had a premonition that if he did not intercept them, the consequences would be unimaginable.

At this moment, he could no longer worry about exposing his strength, so Tang San flew directly toward the unknown objects.

Upon reaching a certain distance, Tang San finally saw the appearance of the unknown objects clearly.

Large Explosive Soul Guidance Devices!

A Soul Guidance Device capable of destroying a city with a single strike.

A Soul Guidance Device that, with one strike, could trigger a tsunami and wipe out everything on Sea God Island.

This explosive Soul Guidance Device was different from the one that had previously destroyed the military camp.

Just looking at its exterior was enough to make one feel a sense of horror.

Watching the directions the other four explosive Soul Guidance Devices were flying, they were all headed toward the major defensive cities of the Bala Kingdom.

Tang San's heart suddenly became anxious.

He would first intercept the explosive Soul Guidance Device flying toward the capital, then see if there was enough time to intercept the other four.

At this moment, Tang San finally understood why the Two Great Empires had withdrawn their troops.

It was because they were worried the explosive Soul Guidance Devices were too powerful and would accidentally harm their own armies!

However, Tang San had no time to think further; he had to intercept the Large Explosive Soul Guidance Device as quickly as possible.

Tang San flew directly in front of the explosive Soul Guidance Device heading for the capital.

He released his soul power to form a Spirit Power Shield; this was a method of projecting soul power he had learned in Wuhun City.

The Spirit Power Shield was also a very practical defensive method; now, any Spirit Master liked to use this soul skill, and this Spirit Power Shield had become one of the must-learn soul skills for Spirit Masters.

Tang San's martial soul was the Clear Sky Hammer, which excelled at breaking force with force—one force overcoming ten—and he had very few defensive methods.

Tang San knew this kind of large-scale Soul Guidance Device would explode, so he dared not use the Clear Sky Hammer to strike it down head-on; if it exploded upon being attacked, that was not what he wanted to see.

Currently, the explosive Soul Guidance Device was flying at high speed with great impact, so intercepting it was not a simple matter.

Tang San wanted to use the Spirit Power Shield to block the Large Explosive Soul Guidance Device, then gradually increase the resistance to mitigate the impact of the device.

The idea was good; if it were the previous explosive Soul Guidance Devices, Tang San could likely have intercepted it using this method.

But these explosive Soul Guidance Devices had been modified by Jerry.

After all, when they were first used, they had been intercepted by Poseidon, and because the power was unknown, they were tossed into the sea.

Therefore, Jerry did not want a situation where they were intercepted to happen again.

Consequently, the later explosive Soul Guidance Devices were specially configured: as soon as resistance was encountered, the bomb would detonate immediately.

For a bomb in flight, unless one used divine sense to penetrate the shell directly to the internal control panel, Jerry had set up a backdoor—a backdoor for an emergency termination of the bomb.

Aside from Jerry himself, no one else knew of this backdoor; others wanting to terminate the bomb could only do so within the ten-second countdown. Once launched, there was no way to stop it.

Opportunities for such Large Explosive Soul Guidance Devices to appear were too rare, and to everyone, they were very mysterious things.

Although Tang San had seen them before, he had also heard that Poseidon had intercepted one, so he felt he could also intercept them, not knowing at all that the explosive Soul Guidance Device he was facing now had been modified.

When Tang San used his Spirit Power Shield to block the front of the explosive Soul Guidance Device, the device encountered resistance and immediately emitted a "beep-beep-beep" sound.

Tang San was very close; although he heard the sound, he did not know why it was making such a noise.

While Tang San was still puzzled, the explosive Soul Guidance Device detonated directly in mid-air.

An explosion in the air was different from one on the ground; the blast wave of the bomb expanded in all directions in the shape of a sphere.

Looking from afar, a small fireball suddenly appeared in the sky, and then in a very short time, the fireball magnified ten thousand times, and the entire sky was obscured by this large fireball.

The blast wave and sound wave from the explosion surged violently toward the surroundings.

Tang San was very close; when he felt the blast wave, he immediately began to move away. At this moment, he was no longer thinking about intercepting the explosive Soul Guidance Device, but rather ensuring his own safety.

When the blast wave and sound wave hit the ground, the vegetation, houses, and everything else on the ground were instantly pulverized.

Furthermore, because it exploded in the sky, many small fireballs splashed out from the explosion, rushing toward the ground like a meteor shower.

The range was too large; the entire sky seemed to be on fire, and one by one, the fireballs eventually fell to the ground, causing secondary explosions wherever they struck.

Watching the scene, which was like a natural disaster, the soldiers of the Two Great Empires were all pale with fright.

Even more miserable than the soldiers of the Two Great Empires were the people of the Bala Kingdom.

Because they were relatively close, although this explosive Soul Guidance Device had not yet reached the capital of the Bala Kingdom, the explosion covered an extremely large area, and even those two or three thousand meters away were engulfed.

The once-prosperous city became desolate and ruined under this destructive power; people fled in terror, searching for safe shelters.

Many buildings collapsed in the shockwave of the explosion, igniting raging fires that instantly swallowed the entire city.

In this chaos, people were helpless and grief-stricken; they were shrouded in the terror of the bomb and plunged into deep despair.

They ran everywhere, trying to escape the coverage of the explosion, but it was all in vain.

The power of the bomb and the speed of its expansion were simply not something ordinary humans could compare to.

Even a Title Douluo could not withstand the power of the Five Elements explosive Soul Guidance Device.

Tang San, who had dodged away, saw with his own eyes the explosion cover the entire capital; it was too fast, and Tang San had no time to notify anyone, let alone rescue them.

He watched helplessly as an Elder of the Clear Sky Sect, while still fleeing into the distance, was pursued by the fireballs of the explosion, which instantly annihilated the Elder.

Although most of the Elders of the Clear Sky Sect were Title Douluos, when facing this kind of explosive Soul Guidance Device, they only survived a second or two longer than ordinary people.

Tang San, high in the sky, gritted his teeth tightly, his face full of helplessness and rage, as if he wanted to swallow everything up.

It's over, everything is over.

This was merely the power of one Spirit Guidance bomb, and there are four more flying in other directions.

After the five Spirit Guidance bombs explode, what could possibly remain?

The Clear Sky Sect is gone, the believers of the Light God Sect are gone, and the Bala Kingdom is gone too.

Tang San's eyes revealed a deep sense of helplessness; it was a kind of anger and frustration born from knowing he was powerless to act.

While Tang San was still in his rage, four massive mushroom clouds rose up.

The size of these mushroom clouds far exceeded that of the one on the battlefield earlier.

If Tang San were not currently flying in the sky, he would likely have collapsed directly to the ground.

"The Two Great Empires!"

Tang San gritted his teeth and shouted with hatred.

After shouting, he looked toward the direction of the Two Great Empires and flew straight over.

When he appeared again, Tang San was above the border defense wall, looking down at the armies of the Two Great Empires and the two Nuhuang at the very front.

"Zhu Zhuqing, Xue Ke!"

Tang San shouted with hatred, his tone filled with loathing.

"Tang San, you finally dare to show yourself!"

Zhu Zhuqing glanced at the furious Tang San and said with a smile.

"Zhu Zhuqing, do you know what you have done?"

Tang San understood very well that only Zhu Zhuqing could have obtained such a Large Explosive Soul Guidance Device; after all, he had received news regarding the relationship between Zhu Zhuqing and Jerry.

"What I've done? Haha, Tang San, to think you would ask such a ridiculous question. Don't you know that the Bala Kingdom is at war with the Two Great Empires?"

Compared to Tang San's anger, Zhu Zhuqing's face was completely calm.

Although Zhu Zhuqing was also shocked by the power of the Five Elements Spirit Guidance bomb at this moment, had Tang San not appeared, she might have discussed it with Xue Ke in surprise.

However, Tang San's appearance made her hide her shock, pretending to be indifferent on the surface.

The more Zhu Zhuqing wore this expression, the angrier Tang San became.

A boundless rage surged within Tang San's heart at this moment.

He was no longer prepared to hide his strength; in any case, after these five Spirit Guidance bombs exploded, everything he had would be gone.

Zhu Zhuqing, I originally thought of our friendship as classmates and wanted to give you a hand, but now, you have no chance. Do you know what kind of existence you are facing? I hope you won't regret this later.
