Note From Developer: I’m a big fan of Chinese web novels, but I often came across great stories with poor translations. That’s why I started this website! My goal is to make this the best web novel translation site out there. If you have any suggestions or feedback, feel free to reach out on Discord or Instagram.

"A type of equipment." Hong Xiang began to define this object, and under Xia Lei's roll of eyes, the king zun continued, "A long-range weapon that can emit Holy Light."
"Holy Light?" Ye Zhongming asked in confusion. He didn't actually believe in things like the sacred or the divine; Holy Light was likely just a kind of light.
"That is a weapon that can only be manufactured by special professions within the Temple of Dawn, and the creator is the light monk," Ling Kun took over Hong Xiang's words. The high-ranking members of the posthumous child remembered that if anyone understood the light monks, it would definitely be Ling Kun.
The tribe of King Ling Kun had experienced two genocidal crises in their history, both related to the light monks. It was during the earlier wars of the Temple of Dawn against the posthumous children that significant bloody conflicts occurred between the light monks and Ling Kun's tribe.
Naturally, both times, the posthumous children suffered defeat. However, the Ling Kun tribe had always been a super tribe, considered one of the most powerful among the posthumous children. The light monks at that time were the backbone of various legions in the Temple of Dawn. During battles with the Ling Kun tribe, the posthumous children specifically targeted them, resulting in heavy losses that caused many lineages to be severed, ultimately weakening them.
"The light monks themselves don't possess strong combat abilities, but the combat techniques they practice allow them to apply internal energy to external objects, which is a strange ability. It's somewhat similar to the roles of makers or Soul Artifact creators, but not entirely the same, as each light monk can only create a limited number of pieces of equipment, and they have only one type of attack, which is this..."
As he spoke, King Ling Kun pointed to those cylindrical objects, "Holy Light attack."
Patting his companion's shoulder, King Hong Xiang continued, "Among these pieces of equipment created by the light monks, the most mature and powerful is this Holy Light Tube. This weapon maximizes the power of Holy Light, and it has almost no shortcomings in terms of portability, reusability, and durability."
Ye Zhongming looked over and turned to ask, "Is it rechargeable?"
Several kings nodded, "Although many of the light monks' skills have been lost due to previous wars, and there likely aren't many willing to become light monks, it’s clear that this time they have come."
"How powerful is it? What’s the range?" Mo Ye, wearing the Rong Clan Holy Armor Set, inquired.
"That’s unclear at the moment, but records show that those from before had power comparable to high-level Soul Artifacts, with an approximate range of..." King Hong Xiang calculated some Earth measurements and said, "Five hundred meters."
Upon hearing this, the Cloud Summit People all inhaled sharply. This distance was already quite equivalent to or even exceeding the range of some mainstream rifles on Earth!
Moreover, the power was expected to far exceed that of firearms. If there was no protection between the two sides, this thing posed a huge threat!
Why were Ye Zhongming and the Cloud Summit so confident in defending the Royal City? It was precisely because both Earth and roulette technology possessed a wealth of long-range attack methods, which could ensure that the Temple of Dawn would suffer devastating blows during their attacks.
But if the enemy also had evident firepower suppression equipment, then the war would return to a state of balance.
Once that happened... to be honest, with the combined forces of the posthumous children and Cloud Summit Villa facing such a powerful Temple of Dawn, the final outcome was truly uncertain.
The emergence of the Holy Light Tube left the people on the city walls feeling somewhat depressed, but they were all accustomed to the scene. Seeing the Temple of Dawn display such a posture, they understood that the siege was about to begin. Orders began to be issued, and everyone in the Royal City sprang into action.
