Volume 33, Chapter 442.3: Spiritual Barrier, Terrifying Mountain Peak! (1/2)

What is this? Undoubtedly, it was another soul tool that Huo Yuhao had never seen before. However, just because he had never seen it before didn’t mean that it wasn’t dangerous. His senses were also very acute. Although the white halo had yet to reach him, he could judge that it wasn’t offensive or lethal. However, it contained gentle undulations, and a spiritual aura.

Spiritual-type, oscillation detector? Once-off thing? This isn’t good. It’s trying to locate my position!

After a brief moment of judgment, Huo Yuhao immediately reacted. The white halo covered more and more area as it spread out. At first, it was only a meter wide. However, it instantly grew to more than a hundred meters wide, and it continued to expand further. At such a speed, it would be more than five hundred meters wide by the time it reached Huo Yuhao. There wasn’t any way he could avoid it if it expanded to that width.

At this critical moment, Huo Yuhao’s decisiveness developed during the Ultimate Soldier Plan played a prominent role. He put his flying-type soul tool away without any hesitation and allowed himself to freefall.

He might possibly enter the surveillance range of the Sun Moon Empire’s surveillance soul tools. However, he wasn’t willing to be engulfed by the white halo even if he ran the risk of doing just that. He could sense a lethal threat from that non-lethal, inoffensive white halo.

He fell very quickly. The wind around him was extremely strong, but Huo Yuhao’s spiritual power kept him focused on the white halo.

His quick reaction saved him. That white halo swept past his head, and only slowly dissipated around ten kilometers from the mountain peak.

As it swept past his head, Huo Yuhao immediately confirmed his judgment earlier. He was right. There wasn’t any strong aura within that white light. However, it clearly contained some kind of special frequency wave, as well as a light spiritual aura. That was sufficient to determine the position of anyone it ran into.

As he fixed his gaze on the mountain peak, Huo Yuhao could subtly see a dim-red object flashing slightly before disappearing.

Lucky!

If his position had been determined, he might have been struck a deadly blow in the next instant.

What kind of power does this mountain peak possess? Its defense is actually so strong! My spiritual power only slightly touched the barrier before such a huge reaction was sparked.

As he thought to himself, Huo Yuhao summoned his soul power and reduced the momentum of his fall. His Imitation was fully unleashed before he slowly opened his butterfly-winged flying-type soul tool.

He couldn’t open it too quickly, as he was falling too fast. If things went amiss, his flying-type soul tool would be destroyed.

As he lowered his head to look at the detector on his wrist, Huo Yuhao cursed to himself. This short period of freefall had caused his altitude to fall from thirty-five hundred meters to twenty-five hundred meters. He was within the range of the Sun Moon Empire’s surveillance soul tools now. Even though there were only a few soul tools that could detect him, he would have raised alarm bells by now. Very soon, he was sure to be the focus of all surveillance.

What should he do?

Every time he was in such a crisis, Huo Yuhao was always stimulated to the best of his potential due to the massive pressure. This time was no exception.

He knew that his surveillance mission today would be unlikely to yield too much progress. However, it wasn’t a complete failure. At least he had managed to see what was going on at the mountain peak. He had to return now.

He managed to halt his freefall, and changed his unidirectional detection to an all-around detection, sensing the changes coming from the Ming Dou Mountain Range. At the same time, he unleashed his Spiritual Interference while using his Imitation. With his Spiritual Interference, hundreds of square meters of air around him were covered in invisible spiritual undulations. Any form of surveillance that entered this region would certainly be affected.

Just like Huo Yuhao had judged, the Sun Moon Empire’s reaction was quick. It was just a matter of seconds before several surveillance soul tools were up around Huo Yuhao. These souls tools employed virtually all the types of surveillance abilities that were available. All that surveillance was focused on Huo Yuhao. They were directly aimed at the region below where the white light had passed earlier.

The Sun Moon Empire’s experience in terms of reconnaissance through surveillance soul tools impressed Huo Yuhao. They must have concluded that he couldn’t possibly fly upward, and could only choose to descend. At such an altitude, he couldn’t gain any speed if he tried to fly. Furthermore, they clearly didn’t locate him earlier, though they were clearly studying the region he was in right now.

He turned around immediately. He couldn’t care about being exposed now. He opened his flying-type soul tool fully and turned into a streak of flowing light before charging toward the military base of the Star Luo Empire.

Behind those surveillance soul tools, a dozen figures continued to chase him. Without a doubt, the Sun Moon Empire had sent out their most outstanding soul engineers.

Huo Yuhao was very impressed with how the Sun Moon Empire was able to seal off all counter-surveillance on them. His appearance drew great attention from the Sun Moon Empire.

Someone powerful from the Sun Moon Empire gave out instructions that Huo Yuhao had to be killed, no matter the price! A spiritual-type soul master that could perform long-range surveillance was too important for the Star Luo Empire. However, it was very rare to find such a soul master, so the Sun Moon Empire was determined to kill him!
