The reason Tang Wulin initially ruled out using ice-attributed soul masters to fill the canyon is simply that ice melts.

Translation: Tang Wulin's reason for initially ruling out using ice-attribute soul masters to fill the canyon was simply that ice melts.

Check: "The reason... is simply that". We'll keep concise.

Under the intense sunlight, it couldn't last long before having to be painstakingly recreated.

Ye Yu, who has temporarily evolved into an extreme ice attribute, creates ice that does not melt quickly; at least until the war ends, the ice he creates can effectively serve as a battlefield for soul masters and soul engineers.

Translation: Night Rain, which has temporarily evolved into an extreme ice attribute, creates an ice surface that won't melt quickly; at least before the war ends, the ice surface he creates can effectively serve as a battlefield for soul masters and soul engineers to fight.

Note: "Ye Yu" is a name; it appears as a person in line 4: "Ye Yu, who has temporarily evolved into an extreme ice attribute". Likely a nickname for someone who can create ice. It's not in the glossary, so we treat it as a name and keep the pinyin "Ye Yu".

But we need to check if "Ye Yu" appears elsewhere: line 5: "According to Ye Yu". So it's definitely a person's name/nickname. So we will treat as a name: Ye Yu.

Thus line 4 translation should reference "Ye Yu". Let's re-evaluate: "Ye Yu, who has temporarily evolved into an extreme ice attribute". So "Ye Yu, who has temporarily evolved into an extreme ice attribute". We'll translate as "Ye Yu, who has temporarily evolved into an extreme ice attribute". Good.

Moreover, according to Ye Yu, the ice created by his martial soul is very similar in nature to the Ice Extreme God Crystal; both contain terrifying cold without emitting it, only erupting violently when destroyed.

Translation: Moreover, according to Ye Yu, the ice created by his martial soul is very similar in nature to the Ice Extreme Divine Crystal; both contain terrifying cold without emitting it, only erupting violently when destroyed.

Huo Yutong had already shared this point with the entire army via mental detection, reminding them not to randomly attack the ice beneath their feet later.

Translation: Huo Yutong had just shared this with the entire army via Mental Detection Sharing, so they should remember not to randomly attack the ice beneath their feet later.

Seeing Ye Yu successfully help establish a foothold, Du Bu Si realized the moment had come, and his booming voice instantly echoed across the battlefield.

Translation: Seeing Ye Yu successfully help establish a foothold, Du Bu Si realized the moment had come, and his booming voice instantly echoed across the whole battlefield.

"Warriors of the Three Kingdoms, do you see that? The enemy's malicious plot has failed; now is the time for us to sound the counterattack horn. Charge, using solid ice as our road, to defend our nation!"

Translation: "Warriors of the three kingdoms, do you see that? The enemy's wicked plot has already failed; now is the time for us to sound the horn of counterattack—charge, with solid ice as our road, defend our nation!"

A earth-shaking roar rose, with Du Bu Si's command at its core; all the soul masters rose, charged onto the ice, and surged toward the opposite side of the canyon.

Translation: A heaven-shaking roar rose, with Du Bu Si's command at its core; all the soul masters on the field rose, charged onto the ice, and rushed toward the opposite side of the canyon.

For a while they had been sickened by this unfavorable terrain for too long; seeing the terrain's disadvantage suddenly disappear, they couldn't help but rush forward to give the Sun Moon Empire's soul engineers a hard slap.

For a while they had been sickened by this unfavorable terrain for far too long; seeing the terrain's disadvantage suddenly disappear, they couldn't help but rush forward to give the Sun Moon Empire's soul engineers a hard slap.

Translation: For this period they had been sickened by this disadvantageous terrain for far too long; seeing the terrain's disadvantage suddenly disappear, they couldn't help but rush forward to give the Ri Yue Di Guo's soul engineers a hard slap.

Naturally, at the forefront were the Titled Douluo of the original three kingdoms of the Douluo Continent, with hundreds of brilliant light streaks flying at the very front of the soul master army, forming a spectacular sight.

The Sun Moon Empire took the action he feared most.

Translation: The Ri Yue Di Guo took the action he feared most.

Don't think it was easy for the strong warriors of the original three kingdoms to intercept those fixed-shell soul artillery shells just now; they managed it only because they had intercepted and destroyed them in advance while airborne.

Translation: Don't think that the Douluo original three kingdoms' experts intercepting those locked-type soul artillery shells just now was easy; it was only because they had intercepted and shot them down in advance in the air.

But once the battle began, the experts' energy would be divided, making it likely they'd miss some shells, letting them fall onto the battlefield.

Translation: But once the battle began and the experts' energy was divided, it was very likely they would miss a shell, letting it fall onto the battlefield.

Once a fixed-shell soul artillery shell lands on the battlefield, it's no longer something low-level soul masters can easily withstand.

Translation: Once a locked-type soul artillery shell lands on the battlefield, it's not something low-level soul masters can easily withstand.

Even though few on this battlefield are below Soul Emperor rank, with most being six- or seven-ring soul masters or higher serving as the main force, they are still powerless against high-level fixed-shell soul artillery shells.

Translation: Even though there are few Soul Emperors and below on this battlefield, with the majority being six-ring or even seven-ring soul masters as the main force, they are still utterly powerless before high-grade locked-type soul artillery shells.

If only the war could have started two years later, Tang Wulin knows that Xuan Ziwen and Huo Yutong have already jointly produced a Tang Sect-linked soul device; with two more years, the original three kingdoms of the Douluo Continent would have had ample confidence to oppose the Sun Moon Empire.

Translation: If only the war could have started two years later, according to Tang Wulin's knowledge, Xuan Ziwen and Huo Yutong have already jointly produced a Linked Soul Conductor for the Tang Sect; with another two years, the original three kingdoms of Douluo would have had ample confidence to oppose the Ri Yue Di Guo.

Unfortunately, there are no "ifs"; this is ultimately impossible, as the Sun Moon Empire would never allow the original three kingdoms of the Douluo Continent to freely develop soul technology right under its nose.

Translation: Alas, there are no "ifs"; this is ultimately impossible, and the Ri Yue Di Guo would never allow the original three kingdoms of Douluo to freely develop soul technology right under its nose.

The upcoming battle will be extremely arduous.

Translation: The upcoming battle will be extremely arduous.

Tang Wulin looked at Huo Yutong, saw she was also looking at him; their eyes met, their thoughts connected, and he instantly understood what she was thinking.

They simultaneously nodded slightly, then joined hands and instantly crossed the entire battlefield to press toward the enemy's base.

Translation: They both nodded slightly, then joined hands and instantly crossed the entire battlefield, advancing toward the enemy's main base.

Rather than trying to intercept the rain of fixed-shell soul artillery shells, it would be more practical to simply cut off the source of the shells. As expected, when they arrived, thousands of brilliant rays of light shot up from the Sun Moon Empire's camp.

Translation: Rather than trying to figure out how to intercept the torrential rain of locked-type soul artillery shells, it would be more practical to simply cut off the source of the shells. As expected, the moment they appeared, thousands of splendid rays of light shot up from the Ri Yue Di Guo's camp.

This light split into three colors: red, purple, and dark gold.

Translation: This light split into three colors: red, purple, and dark gold.

Besides them, dozens of figures rose into the air, exuding powerful auras; most wore black robes, and they were the powerful evil soul masters of the Holy Spirit Cult.

Translation: Besides them, dozens of figures radiating strong aura rose into the air, most of them wearing black clothing—these are the powerful Evil Soul Masters of the Holy Spirit Sect.

At the forefront, naturally, was the Holy Spirit Cult's Supreme Master Ye Xi Shui; seeing Tang Wulin and Huo Yutong, she laughed arrogantly and ferociously twice, then pointed her finger at them.

Translation: At the forefront, naturally, is the Holy Spirit Sect's Supreme Sect Master Ye Xi Shui; seeing Tang Wulin and Huo Yutong, she laughed arrogantly and ferociously twice, then pointed her finger at the two of them.

"'Heaven has a road you refuse to take; Hell has no gate you come to storm. Do you two really think you can defeat me by ganging up on me? Guardians of the Nation, hear my order: kill them both here!'"

Translation: "Heaven has a road you refuse to take; hell has no gate you come to charge—do you two really think that beating me two-on-one counts as success? Guardians of the State, hear my order: kill them both here!"

Although the members of the three Guardians of the Nation all dislike Ye Xi Shui and her leadership of the Holy Spirit Cult, her order is now unobjectionable, and to defeat the original three kingdoms of the Douluo Continent one must indeed find a way to overcome Shrek Academy's newly appointed Sea God Pavilion Master.

Translation: Although the members of all three Guardians of the State bear no goodwill toward Ye Xi Shui and her Holy Spirit Sect, her current order is unproblematic; indeed, to defeat the original three kingdoms of Douluo, one must first find a way to overcome Shrek, this newly appointed Sea God Pavilion Master.

They are no longer the Soul Emperors who could only clumsily dodge the coordinated attacks of the Evil Monarch Soul Engineer Legion; now their cultivation is that of quasi-Titled Douluo, and their strength can reach the Limit Douluo level without needing martial soul fusion—a tremendous change from before.

Translation: They are no longer the Soul Emperors who could only flee in disarray when facing the coordinated attack of the Xie Jun Soul Mentor Group; now their cultivation is that of quasi-Honored Douluo, and their strength can reach the level of Limit Douluo even without martial soul fusion—compared to before, they have undergone a complete transformation.

Now, when they perform martial soul fusion, their strength has reached the peak of the world, making it no trouble to counter the Guardians of the Nation's coordinated attack.

Translation: Now, when they perform martial soul fusion, their strength has reached the pinnacle of the world, making it no difficulty to resist the coordinated attack of the Guardians of the State.

Huo Yutong flicked her hand, and an ice-blue comet condensed from her palm, then struck at tremendous speed against the coordinated beam of the Imperial Dragon Soul Engineer Legion.

Translation: Tang Wulin then released Huo Yutong's hand, flashed his body, and arrived before the joint attack of the Flame Phoenix Soul Mentor Group and the Ri Yue Royal Soul Mentor Group, two of the Guardians of the State.

"Are these two from Shrek crazy?" was the first reaction of the Sun Moon Empire's soul engineers.

Translation: "Are these two Shrek guys crazy?" was the first reaction of the Ri Yue Di Guo's soul engineers.

In the minds of those who revere soul devices, the full-power soul beams launched by Guardian-level soul engineer regiments have long exceeded humanity's limits; even Limit Douluo-level experts faced with such an attack have no option but to avoid a direct collision.

Translation: In the minds of those who revere soul instruments, the soul beams unleashed at full power by a Guardian-of-the-State-level soul engineer team have long surpassed what humans can handle; even a Limit Douluo-level expert, when facing such an attack, has only the option to avoid a direct collision.

But the reality surpassed their expectations.

The meteor Huo Yutong launched struck the Imperial Dragon Soul Engineer Legion's coordinated beam; rather than instantly annihilating it, it actually showed a tendency to push against the beam and press forward.

Translation: The meteor Huo Yutong emitted struck the Imperial Dragon Soul Mentor Group's coordinated beam; not only did it not instantly annihilate, it actually showed a tendency to push forward against the beam.

Translation: Tang Wulin's behavior was even more extravagant; his body glittering with dragon scales, he almost ignored the Flame Phoenix Soul Mentor Group's attack, taking it head-on with his body, then facing the Ri Yue Royal Soul Mentor Group, he extended his hand to condense an earth-yellow light, blocking their black beam.

This sight left those soul engineers dumbfounded.
