Chapter 27: Bomb It Now? No! The Federation Has Long Wanted To!
"Ah? Ancestor, calm down!!!"
Huo Yun'er was still confused—what was the Eternal Kingdom? But when Huo Tiangang heard the ancestor say he was going to activate it, his face changed drastically.
What was the Eternal Kingdom?
That was a Level 12 Fixed-Mount Soul Guidance Cannon—a god-slaying weapon, a terrifying creation of the Federation that had consumed nearly all the resources of the Douluo Continent just to produce three of them.
With the current resources of the continent, it was impossible to create a fourth Level 12 Fixed-Mount Soul Guidance Cannon shell. Worse yet, after manufacturing those three, the Federation's entire technological development stagnated for a thousand years before recovering.
It was a weapon of deterrence—not one meant to be launched.
And he planned to throw it at Shrek Academy—the sacred ground of millions of soul masters!
If he blew it up, how would soul masters across the world react?
Jiang Chen ignored Huo Tiangang. He wrapped his arm around Huo Yun'er, then lightly slid his finger across the black ring on his left hand's ring finger.
Instantly, a massive humanoid mecha materialized in the air, its structure deep violet in color.
"Evil Eye."
From his pocket, the ten-thousand-year soul spirit Evil-Eyed Tyrant leaped out and fused into the mecha. In an instant, it transformed mechanically, like a transformer, reshaping into a winged tiger.
(Red) God-rank Mecha — Eternal Night Evil Tiger
It was the only dual-form God-rank mecha in existence, able to switch between humanoid and beast forms.
Its resource cost was several times higher than that of any other God-rank mecha.
Fortunately, the Huo Family controlled half of the Federation—creating such armor for their ancestor was manageable.
It only required exhausting a few Saintsmiths and Godsmiths from the Blacksmith Association.
Holding Huo Yun'er, Jiang Chen entered the God-rank mecha. The air behind him burst with energy, and in a flash, he shot up into the sky.
Huo Tiangang stood on the ground, shouting in despair, "Ancestor! Wait for me! Calm down!"
[Warning! You have entered the airspace above Skysea City, a no-fly zone! Please land immediately!]
At the same moment the God-rank mecha ascended, multiple mecha squads scrambled to intercept.
"Evil Eye."
The Evil Eye instantly linked to Skysea City's network for authentication.
[Welcome, God-rank Mecha No.001—Eternal Night Evil Tiger! Skysea City welcomes your arrival!]
Technically speaking, Skysea City was a no-fly zone—but that was only in theory.
After all, even a Titled Douluo couldn't enforce it.
As the God-rank mecha flew openly across the sky, the pilots below stared enviously.
A God-rank mecha—every mecha pilot's lifelong dream.
Because truly—this was a man's romance.
…
Mingdu, ancestral grounds of the Huo Family.
"It's the ancestor! The ancestor has returned! Greetings, Lord Ancestor!"
The moment Jiang Chen set foot in Mingdu, the entire Huo Family mobilized.
They saw his God-rank mecha descending from afar, and a crowd of black-clad clansmen rushed to greet him.
"Ancestor, do you need me to carry your things?"
"Ancestor, did someone bully you outside? Tell us! We'll make them pay!"
"Huo Zixuan, what nonsense are you spouting? Who could be the ancestor's opponent?! The ancestor has lived for a million years! One fart from him could kill a man!"
"So if the ancestor farts here, wouldn't we all die?"
"Shut up! Mind your tongue!"
Some of the branch families didn't know Jiang Chen's true identity, but the main bloodline certainly did.
After all, the heir chosen for this generation was a girl—one with an unknown martial soul talent.
How could the prideful younger talents of the clan accept that?
Oh, right—the ancestor was a million-year-old ultimate being who had turned human out of necessity. Then it made sense.
Crowds gathered, eager to show their faces before him.
Even Huo Yun'er, once familiar with many of them, was now terrified by their enthusiasm and hid behind Jiang Chen.
"Cough, cough! Enough! All of you, back off! Go about your business!"
At that moment, a stern-looking middle-aged man stepped forward. In an instant, the younger clan members scattered like frightened mice.
It was Huo Tianluo, current patriarch of the Huo Clan and one of the forty-two Council Presidents of the Douluo Federation—a Level 98 Super Douluo.
Who wouldn't fear their own patriarch? Everyone shrank back in silence.
"Ancestor, please."
Following Huo Tianluo, Jiang Chen entered the ancestral hall. As the Federation's most powerful clan and once the imperial family of the former Douluo Empire, the Huo Clan currently boasted eleven Titled Douluo.
Why did such a family obey a soul beast? Because of their ancestral teachings—and because, in every generation, their ultimate Douluo had fought alongside Jiang Chen.
Furthermore, the current generation had all been raised under his guidance.
Without the ancestor's acknowledgment, no one in the Huo Clan could rise to prominence. Ancestral command? The words of their million-year-old soul beast ancestor were law.
They hadn't understood why the ancestor had personally gone to Eastsea City, but they didn't intervene—only dispatching their Guardian Duo, the "Twin Stars" of the Huo Clan, to protect him.
Now that the ancestor had returned in such haste, it could only mean one thing—something serious had happened.
Inside the ancestral hall, ten figures appeared—all Titled Douluo of the Huo Clan.
"Ancestor, has something happened? Why have you summoned us?"
Not all could attend physically; many served across the continent, and their soul net projections attended instead.
There was no fear of interception—because the Evil Eye was under Jiang Chen's full control, being the descendant of the ancient second-ranked Ten Great Beasts, the Evil-Eyed Tyrant.
When its father had become Huo Yuhao's soul spirit millennia ago, Jiang Chen had later taken its offspring. The Evil Eyes now all served him.
"Bomb Shrek Academy immediately."
Jiang Chen's cold words echoed through the chamber. If such a statement were leaked, it would shake the Douluo Continent like a Level 12 earthquake.
Yet none of the others panicked or gasped.
They were puzzled.
Yes—puzzled.
"Ancestor, why bomb Shrek now? Isn't it too early?"
This was not part of the original plan.
The Federation had wanted to eliminate Shrek Academy and Tang Sect for a long time.
By allowing them to join the Federation Council, they had only hoped to contain them—but both factions secretly pulled strings, sending their Shrek-labeled students into politics and even the military.
For instance, the Yuanen Clan's arrangement within the Eastsea Legion.
Ties with the Star Luo and Heaven Dou Federations had grown uncomfortably close.
What did that suggest?
Was the war of millennia past—a defeat for them?
Shrek Academy and Tang Sect had once opposed the Sun Moon Empire, yet now they enjoyed the spoils of victory.
Worse yet—though Shrek Academy and Tang Sect were nominally separate, every insider knew they were one and the same.
Shrek educated the minds. Tang Sect built the weapons.
A dangerous combination no nation could tolerate.
Right and wrong didn't matter—only sides did.
Thus, the Federation had long prepared a plan against Shrek Academy.
But to act now?
That was too soon...
Jiang Chen spoke coldly: "Yun Ming took my person. It's only right that I return the favor—with one cannon blast."
