But there was less than a minute between the time he issued the highest alert and the impending explosion. What could he do with such a short time?
Lin Jiayi really wanted to think that his situation was a dream, that there had been no such explosion at all, and that everything was just nonsense said by that Xiao man before he died.
At this moment, several auras suddenly appeared outside the deserted underground warehouse.
"Who?" Lin Jiayi asked in surprise.
Appearing in front of him was Huo Yuhao, and two figures emitting a biting chill, one green and one white.
“Huo Yuhao, what are you doing here?” Lin Jiayi shouted, “Go and seek shelter quickly!”
As the dean of studies, his first reaction was to instinctively scold the students.
"Director Lin, there is no time to explain. How do we open the underground warehouse?" Huo Yuhao asked immediately.
"It can't be opened. Even if the hall master comes, he can't open it." Lin Jiayi shook his head.
"Tsk."
Huo Yuhao frowned, stepped forward, and took a few steps toward the underground warehouse.
An indescribable aura of horror emanated faintly from behind the pale golden protective shield, thick and deep...making people feel as if they were thousands of feet in the sky, or thousands of miles under the sea.
The intense pressure brings a helpless feeling of suffocation, giving people an illusion that this shield is not protecting the things in the warehouse, but protecting the people outside who are trying to approach it.
It was almost reaching the upper limit of the pressure that the goggles could withstand.
"Mr. Yin, Tianmeng."
Huo Yuhao took a deep breath, and the two ice-blue eyes under his sunglasses had now turned into one gray and one gold.
A strong spiritual wave quickly spread, and the whole world began to slow down at this moment.
The fifth soul skill of the Demon Eye Martial Spirit is mental agility.
Speed ratio, ten times.
There is less than a minute left before the explosion, and Huo Yuhao needs enough time to think about how to respond.
Not only Huo Yuhao but also the Two Ice and Snow Emperors and Tianmeng Yin Lao were affected by the mental acuity, which meant a huge consumption of mental power. For this reason, Huo Yuhao had to rely on the powerful mental power of Tianmeng for the first time in a long time.
Bingdi stared blankly at the underground warehouse in front of him and murmured, "What a terrifying pressure!"
"Even this emperor is afraid. Is this really the aura that a dead thing can possess?"
In Hyotei's 400,000 years of life, this was the first time she had felt fear from an inanimate object.
Xue Di also had a fearful look on his face: "It seems that destroying this city is not an exaggeration."
They had heard Huo Yuhao talk about the horror of the ninth-level fixed-type soul guide shells before, but they had never taken it seriously. Today, seeing it with their own eyes, they realized for the first time how powerful and destructive weapons humans have mastered.
“So we must not let it explode.” Huo Yuhao forced himself to calm down and began to use Tian Meng’s vast mental power to infiltrate the Protection of the Golden City and detect the situation in the warehouse.
One would not know until he explored it. The situation in the warehouse made Huo Yuhao’s scalp tingle.
In the warehouse, there were neatly arranged fixed artillery shells, each with a black shell printed with a pattern indicating extreme danger.
There was no doubt that the level of these fixed shells had all reached level nine, and the number had reached an astonishing thirty.
Although Huo Yuhao had expected this, he still cursed.
"Jing Hongchen, you are so bold to put these things under the office!"
After knowing the situation in the warehouse, it is time to think about solutions.
Huo Yuhao asked anxiously: "Master Yin, can we use space magic to directly enter the warehouse?"
"No, that golden protective shield has a strange energy fluctuation, and there is no way to transmit it using the power of space." Old Yin's speech speed unconsciously increased.
“Do we have to break that shield?” Huo Yuhao frowned. “Ice Queen, Snow Queen, can you do it?”
Bingdi was silent for a few seconds in the spiritual world, and whispered: "I'm sorry, Yuhao. I'm afraid it's only possible with our strength in our prime. And even if Xue'er and I are in our prime, it's not easy to break it in such a short time."
There was a rare hint of apology on her pretty face.
“Is that so?” Huo Yuhao fell into deep thought again.
At this time, Tianmeng once again backed out: "Yuhao, since Bingbing and the others can't destroy it, why don't we escape back quickly..."
Huo Yuhao slowly let out a sigh of relief and said calmly, “Tian Meng, do you remember what I told you when we first met?”
"what?"
“Don’t always think about running away.” Huo Yuhao said calmly, “Although the situation today is different from before, we have the ability to escape safely when facing danger.”
"But there are some things that only I can accomplish. I can indeed run away, but if I run away, no one else can."
“Someone has to stand up.”
Xue Di then reminded: "What are you going to do? There are less than thirty seconds left in real time."
Huo Yuhao's eyes darkened and he said coldly: "We will wait for the explosion to come and break this layer of shield first. We will then pull all the level nine shells into the frozen plane before they are detonated by the shock wave."
When this plan came out, the two Ice and Snow Emperors and Tianmeng were stunned: "Yuhao, you are crazy, do you know how fast the explosion spreads?"
"I will activate my maximum mental acuity, so I can capture even the speed of an explosion."
"But……"
"There's nothing wrong with that. Maybe there is a better way, but with so little time, I can't think of it with my intelligence."
Huo Yuhao’s face was full of determination.
Yin Laix sighed and said, "Yuhao, I also had a part in the cause of this explosion. It was because of me that I advised you to help that child."
"Unfortunately, his reason was consumed by the fire of revenge, and he made the same mistake I made back then."
"I will also atone for my sins at all costs."
Huo Yuhao ended his mental agility, and in real time there were less than ten seconds left before the explosion.
When he came to his senses, he saw Lin Jiayi anxiously wanting to say something to him, but he didn't have time to care now.
"Bingdi, wish Director Lin a good dream."
Lin Jiayi lost consciousness before he could react. In the void, a gray, ancient door slowly opened and sent Lin Jiayi in.
Huo Yuhao said sincerely: “Ice Emperor, Snow Emperor, Tianmeng, this is my request, please.”
"If I really can't do it, I'll run away again."
Tian Meng hesitated for a moment and said, "Yuhao, I support you."
Bingdi agreed calmly: "This emperor is the same."
Snow Queen glanced at Huo Yuhao and smiled: "Don't forget our agreement."
As soon as the words fell, the surroundings of the entire underground warehouse began to shake violently.
This was a terrifying earthquake that was much more violent than the previous two.
The corridors around the underground warehouse collapsed instantly, and large pieces of intact metal and stone fell down.
The soul guide shields that were opened one by one came into play at this moment, blocking the metals.
Huo Yuhao carefully sensed the direction from which the vibration came, moved his body, and stuck close to the Golden City Guardian who was facing the direction of the explosion. He was already extremely alert.
He knew that this was just a minor incident and the real terrifying shock wave would come soon.
"coming!"
Sensing a roar that could only be attributed to thunder underground, Huo Yuhao immediately used Tian Meng's mental power to activate his mental sensitivity once again.
Speed ratio, three hundred times.
A few streaks of blood quietly flowed from Huo Yuhao’s nostrils and the corners of his eyes. This was the first time that he activated such a high mental sensitivity by adding the two emperors of ice and snow to himself at the same time.
The falling stones froze in place, and the entire world seemed to have come to a standstill. Only Huo Yuhao and a few others who shared the mental network could sense the flow of time.
No, the world did not stand still.
The shock wave sweeping in from the distance was still advancing slowly at a clearly perceptible speed.
Although the speed of the shock wave slowed down, the terrifying destructive power it contained did not decrease at all, and because of the slower speed, it appeared even more terrifying.
Soon, a ripple like a heat wave appeared in the space not far in front of Huo Yuhao.
No, it cannot be called a ripple, it should be called a tsunami.
The protective shields on the outside of the underground warehouse were instantly shattered by the ripples, and the surrounding stones and metals were all crushed into smaller fragments and powder.
Those shields that claimed to be able to resist the Title Douluo for a few seconds now all seemed fragile. Not only could they not stop it, they couldn't even slow it down a bit.
This is destruction and death incarnate.
Huo Yuhao suddenly felt that those who died instantly in the explosion were lucky to some extent, because they did not have to endure the torment of waiting for death, but were directly turned into ashes.
However, Huo Yuhao did not feel any pain, because death did not belong to him.
He had forgotten about life and death, and just held his breath, concentrating and closely feeling the fluctuations that contained terrifying power.
Finally, the wave hit the golden city protection surrounding the underground warehouse.
The Guardian of the Golden City absorbed a large amount of the shock wave's power, but was ultimately defeated. After a flash of golden light, it turned into dust.
The shock wave of the explosion was weakened a bit, and the opportunity that Huo Yuhao had been waiting for for a long time finally came.
Extreme cold suddenly enveloped the underground warehouse, and an ice wall replaced the original golden city protection. It was the masterpiece of the two emperors of ice and snow, protecting Huo Yuhao from entering the warehouse.
However, the terrifying shock wave continued to advance slowly and unstoppably, and the ice wall suddenly cracked.
Bingdi's face was full of solemnity, and he shouted through the voice transmission: "Tianmeng!"
When she called out, Tianmeng immediately cooperated with her. Originally, there was only the soul power of the two emperors of ice and snow, and Tianmeng's mental power was added. Although it could not be completely integrated, the power had been greatly enhanced.
"Thank you."
Huo Yuhao finally said calmly that his goal had been achieved.
The ice wall was finally broken, the mental sensitivity stopped, the flow of time returned to normal, and the roar engulfed the underground warehouse.
Fortunately, the ninth-level fixed-type soul-guided shells in the underground warehouse were not detonated, which would have caused even more terrifying subsequent explosions.
The entire Mingde Hall was reduced to dust due to the explosion of the armory.
He Cai Tou's body was lying there before it turned to ashes.
His eyes were open and there was still a dying smile on his lips.
