The Undead Demiplane, Core Region.
A massive bone dragon king, its eyes blazing with icy blue flames and its mouth spewing icy fire, hovered in the air. Above its head, a black-gold figure stood upright, its ever-burning golden eyes seemingly looking down on everything.
The sheer power of an existence that could command such a terrifying Bone Dragon King to submit is self-evident.
Under the intimidation of this terrifying bone dragon and the mysterious powerful figure, the figures beneath the core area trembled in fear.
Among them are soul beasts, soul masters, and soul guides, including titled Douluo and powerful level nine soul guides.
In the center of the core area, in front of Huo Yuhao, there were two ice-blue orbs of light.
One was an ice-blue cocoon of light, and the other was an ethereal, barely visible stream of air. Within the stream of air was a petite and adorable baby, with rosy cheeks and a snow-like chain around her neck, from which a jewel sparkled.
The aura of the ice cocoon was constantly increasing. Huo Xingling had the sacrifice of the Snow Emperor. Although it was only halfway through when it was forcibly interrupted by someone, the soul power generated by the Snow Emperor's 690,000-year soul ring still caused a qualitative change in her body. Her soul power, martial soul, and physique were all evolving wildly.
The baby next to her was the opposite of her.
The baby's breath was extremely faint, as if it could die at any moment.
All the soul beasts from the far north present watched the baby and Huo Yuhao's reaction. They knew that the man before them would decide the life or death of this being.
That is, the life and death of Xue Di.
Huo Yuhao's expression was somewhat complicated at this moment.
What happened yesterday was so bizarre that he still hasn't recovered.
What should have been a sure thing turned into an unexpected turn of events with the Snow Emperor's sacrifice.
It was originally easy to resolve; Xue Di's sudden counterattack posed no threat to him. His Black God Set could easily crush any who dared to challenge him.
The Snow Emperor's sword was shattered inch by inch by the powerful defense of the Black God Set. Originally, he could have easily resolved everything once the sacrificial domain ended, but an unexpected turn of events occurred.
Let's go back to one day ago.
The battlefield on the border of the Star Luo.
After Xue Di plunged the Imperial Sword Ice Extreme Peerless into Huo Yuhao's heart, she flew to Huo Xingling's side, who was also in a frozen state but still conscious.
"I, the Ice and Snow Maiden, the Snow Emperor, today voluntarily offer myself as a sacrifice to Huo Xingling, dedicating my soul, soul power, flesh and blood, and soul bones to her. In the name of the daughter of the Ice and Snow Goddess, I bestow upon her blessings and wish her great success in martial arts."
"Huo Xingling, Bingdi, Xiaobai, I entrust the far north to you."
After saying that, Xue Di's soul also completely dissipated.
It was at this moment, after the Snow Empress willingly offered herself as a sacrifice, that the sigh of the Ice and Snow Goddess on Huo Xingling's chest was instantly activated, hanging high above Huo Xingling's head, and a golden ice pattern quickly appeared on Huo Xingling's forehead.
An ancient yet clear voice echoed through the still space.
"The first of the Nine Trials of Ice and Snow requires possessing an ultimate ice martial soul and reaching level ten in soul power. Upon completion of the trial, the reward is an increase of ten thousand years in the lifespan of all soul rings and a ten percent affinity with the Goddess of Ice and Snow."
"The second of the Nine Trials of Ice and Snow: If your soul power reaches level 20, you will be rewarded with an additional 10,000 years to all your soul rings and a 20% affinity with the Goddess of Ice and Snow."
"The third of the Nine Trials of Ice and Snow: Soul Power reaches level 30. Upon completion of the trial, the reward is an increase of 10,000 years in the lifespan of all Soul Rings and a 30% affinity with the Goddess of Ice and Snow."
"The Sixth Trial of the Nine Trials of Ice and Snow: Soul Power reaches Level 60. Trial completed. Reward: All Soul Rings' lifespan increased by 10,000 years. Ice and Snow Goddess Affinity: 60%."
"The seventh of the Nine Trials of Ice and Snow, the average age of the soul rings reaches 100,000 years, the reward is a divinely bestowed soul bone, the ultimate ice, the soul bone attached to the left arm armor. The affinity with the Goddess of Ice and Snow is 70%."
"Nine tests of ice and snow, number one."
The sound continued to ring out, and the golden mark on Huo Xingling's forehead continued to increase.
In the God Realm, Tang San was completely dumbfounded.
"Holy crap."
Even he, who always considered himself refined, couldn't help but swear at this moment.
This ice goddess is shameless in her search for a successor to the divine throne.
A divine test? You call this a divine test?
If I had reacted even a fraction slower, Huo Xingling would have ascended directly to the God Realm.
Tang San's face was already ashen. The reason he disagreed with Huo Xingling inheriting the position of the Ice and Snow Goddess was that the upper limit of this godhood was too low. He had poured so much luck into Huo Xingling, and it was not worth wasting it on such a godhood.
Secondly, and most importantly, the Goddess of Ice and Snow is a subordinate of the Goddess of Life. Although the Goddess of Life is radiant, she is the wife of the God of Destruction. No matter how just she is, she cannot bring herself to betray her own family for the greater good. In other words, the Goddess of Life is an enemy.
Tang San naturally did not want his investment to be taken away by the enemy.
However, Tang San had no reason to interfere with a god who was searching for a successor through normal means. In other words, Tang San could not stop the Ice Goddess in the God Realm.
Moreover, if he were to take action in the realm of gods, there is a high probability that he would be destroyed and blocked.
With a thought, his natal artifact, the Trident of Poseidon, appeared in his hand. Behind him, a divine halo was released, and a vast yet gentle soul power emanated from him. Within his divine soul, a golden divine thought was separated from his main body and merged into the Trident of Poseidon along with his divine power.
With even a trace of his soul stripped away, Tang San's expression turned somewhat unpleasant.
At this moment, he had his eyes tightly closed, as if he was seriously sensing something. The next moment, the trident of Poseidon in his hand disappeared into thin air.
Starlight Hotel.
After the top auction ended, Wang Dong rushed back to the grand hotel. She was about to knock on the door to find Huo Xingling, but she stopped at the door.
"Oh dear, Xingling is asleep, I can't disturb his rest."
Wang Dong immediately returned to his room. As soon as he entered, a strong golden light appeared on his forehead, and the next moment, Wang Dong fell into a coma.
A blue-gold illusory figure gently embraced her, then tenderly laid her flat on the bed and covered her with a blanket.
"Xiaoqi, please forgive your father. This is the last time."
After saying that, Tang San's soul clone, holding the divine weapon, vanished from the spot in an instant.
The next moment, his figure appeared directly on the border of the Star Luo Empire, the place where the great battle broke out tonight.
As soon as Tang San's divine soul fragment appeared in the air, it also felt a powerful force of rules restraining it.
Although he was a God-King level powerhouse, the divine power carried by his Trident of the Sea God was limited. At this moment, his strength was only barely at the level of a first-level god, and he was a first-level god suppressed by the rules of the Douluo Continent.
However, his main purpose in descending to the mortal realm was to interrupt the divine succession ceremony.
"Thirteen Forms of Poseidon, God - Unpredictable Storms".
The divine power on Tang San's divine soul clone surged wildly, flowing towards the Trident of the Sea God. The trident, sensing this, quickly emitted a powerful blue divine light. He gripped the trident, struck a pose, and swung it out, sweeping across the battlefield. Instantly, everything that was already still became even stiller.
Unpredictable Storm, the first of the Thirteen Styles of Poseidon, can trap any enemy for eight seconds. When enhanced, it can freeze time.
Tang San also used this move to knock Huo Xingling, whose forehead was about to develop its ninth ice and snow golden pattern, out of the sacrificial core.
The sacrifice was interrupted, but the absorption of the soul rings had already begun and could not be stopped. Moreover, the divine inheritance was not interrupted.
Tang San was not surprised at all; it seemed that everything was within his expectations.
Soon, the divine power on Tang San's soul clone was reduced by half in an instant. A blue-gold chain appeared in his hand and flew rapidly toward Huo Xingling's figure.
The chains continued to spread, locking onto the Ice and Snow Sigh on her chest before forcibly removing it. At the same time, Tang San multitasked, using gentle soul power to erase the divine marks on Huo Xingling's forehead bit by bit.
The most crucial mark of inheritance was forcibly expelled from Huo Xingling's body by Tang San using his authority as a God-King.
The divine sense and power of the Ice Goddess, who had been expelled from Huo Xingling's body, quickly attached themselves to the sigh of the other Ice Goddess artifact. Then, they merged together into the Snow Emperor's aura, which had been forcibly separated in the air. Everything about the Snow Emperor except for her soul ring was gathered together and transformed into a delicate little baby.
After Tang San's divine soul completed this series of actions, he did not stop. He seemed to have no intention of letting go of the remnant divine thought of the Ice and Snow Goddess. He held the Trident of the Sea God in his hand, the tip of the trident pointing directly at the Snow Emperor's young infant body.
However, at this moment, Tang San's soul clone suddenly paused.
He immediately felt that his body could not move, and his divine power began to dissipate uncontrollably.
Tang San looked down in disbelief at the extra arm protruding from his chest.
Why?
When Tang San turned his head and saw the owner of the arm, he was also somewhat incredulous. He couldn't understand why Huo Yuhao would want to tear out his heart.
"Do I need a reason to kill you?"
The moment Tang San broke through the domain, Huo Yuhao also broke free.
He was still quite shocked when he saw Tang San.
The fact that Tang San appeared here means that he already knows of his existence.
Perhaps Tang San's target wasn't him, but Huo Yuhao had already been completely exposed to Tang San's eyes.
However, he wasn't afraid of Tang San, he just found him a bit troublesome.
As the saying goes, the first strike wins, and Huo Yuhao did not hesitate at all, launching a Black Tiger Heart-Piercing Attack at Tang San.
As a result, he was killed instantly.
It was only then that Huo Yuhao realized that Tang San had only sent a clone.
However, Tang San's clone was not simple either.
The moment he was defeated by Huo Yuhao, the energy he contained gathered from his body and then rapidly condensed, generating terrifying high temperatures. The next moment, a terrifying explosion occurred.
Seeing this, Huo Yuhao had no choice but to use spatial teleportation to send everyone in the core area of the explosion into the undead demiplane.
In the undead demiplane, Huo Yuhao looked at the two figures before him with a somewhat complicated expression.
Although Huo Xingling's sacrifice was interrupted, the absorption of the soul ring had already begun. It was currently fusing with Xue Di's pure soul power. However, Xue Di's 690,000-year-old soul ring energy was enormous, and it would take several days to succeed. Even with his assistance, it would take at least two days.
He couldn't accept the idea of perfectly missing out on a competition.
Without Huo Xingling, Shrek Academy will have a tough time winning the round-robin tournament.
With a thought, Huo Yuhao used his mental power to sense a familiar figure.
"Xu Changsheng, get up and talk."
Upon hearing Huo Yuhao's words, Xu Changsheng kicked away the silver coffin covering him, stood up, and looked at Huo Yuhao with a somewhat solemn expression.
At this moment, he was like a fish on a chopping block, completely at Huo Yuhao's mercy.
After all, the terrifying Bone Dragon King in the sky and the figure on its back were incredibly intimidating, and they were surrounded by a terrifying army of undead, many of whom were just as powerful as him.
Huo Yuhao's cold voice quickly rang out as well.
"Apart from everyone from the Star Luo Empire, I cannot let them leave today. Therefore, from now on, in the Douluo Continent, they will be considered dead."
Upon hearing this, Xu Changsheng immediately wore an expression that said, "I knew it."
How could someone who knows Huo Yuhao's secret be let go? Huo Yuhao letting him go is already an immense favor.
But he quickly realized what was happening and a look of fear immediately appeared in his heart.
"Huo Yuhao, this place has almost all the level nine soul masters of the Mingde Hall of the Sun Moon Empire, and even Jing Hongchen is here. In addition, there is the Terror Claw Soul Master Group. If they all die in the Star Luo Empire, the Sun Moon Empire will probably start a war immediately."
"I know"
Huo Yuhao smiled faintly.
"If you can think of that, how could I not? As long as they don't die in the Star Luo Empire, then everything will be fine, right?"
"How so?" Xu Changsheng asked.
"Tomorrow, the competition will be suspended for two days. The news of my death will be announced to the public. By using what the survivors saw before they fell unconscious last night, and by forging some records of the soul transmission device, it will be easy to pass for the real thing. With my death, you will have leverage in negotiations."
Then, you can announce to the outside world that all the powerful figures present last night were captured by soul beasts from the far north. This will give them a reason to launch an attack. You can then stage a grand show of a northern expedition to rescue them, and the Star Luo Empire can perfectly escape this crisis.
Upon hearing this, Xu Changsheng's eyes lit up. He thought to himself that this was indeed a good idea. However, he always felt that Huo Yuhao was not doing this to help the Star Luo Empire, but rather that he had some ulterior motive.
Huo Yuhao certainly had his own calculations.
He did all this so that the major empires would attack the far north, allowing him to take advantage of the chaos and reap the benefits.
He used to be somewhat wary, but now he doesn't care anymore.
Tang San already knew of his existence, and perhaps he was already aware of his previous actions.
However, if Tang San dares to descend to the mortal realm again, Huo Yuhao can kill him once more.
Having had several experiences of slaying gods, he now knows exactly what level he is in the divine realm.
The gods of Douluo Continent are all too weak. It's no exaggeration to say that if he could find a way to reach the God Realm, he would have conquered it long ago with his strength.
"Nothing else, you can go now. Tomorrow will probably be very busy."
As soon as he finished speaking, a vortex gate appeared beside Xu Changsheng.
Without the slightest hesitation, Xu Changsheng glanced at Huo Yuhao and then decisively took a step out, leaving the terrifying abyss.
After dismissing Xu Changsheng, Huo Yuhao turned his attention to Huo Xingling and the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm in his spiritual sea, as the vortex gate had not yet disappeared.
"The Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm will take at least two days for Huo Xingling's soul ring to absorb. During this time, I'm sure you don't want the Shrek Academy students to find out that Huo Xingling is missing. I'll give you time. You can imitate Huo Xingling's appearance and ask her for leave."
Tianmeng Bingcan was somewhat surprised.
You're a really nice person.
No
Tianmeng Ice Silkworm reacted immediately.
"You...you know the Protoss's identity? You even know I exist?"
"Yes, I know everything," Huo Yuhao replied confidently to the shocked Tianmeng Ice Silkworm.
At this moment, the figure of Ice Emperor immediately appeared in Huo Xingling's spiritual sea of consciousness.
Compared to Huo Xingling, she was more concerned about Xue Di's safety.
"What are you going to do with Xue'er?"
Upon hearing the Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion's question, Huo Yuhao's aura suddenly turned cold, and a hint of chill appeared in his eyes.
"If I hadn't been lucky, I would have been killed by the Snow Emperor. You ask me what to do with it? Of course, I'd kill it."
"You dare."
Hyotei flew into a rage and instantly appeared in front of Yuki-tei's fetal embryo, shielding her entire body behind him.
"A mere soul dares to show its face? It's simply courting death!" Huo Yuhao released his mental power instantly, and the terrifying pressure immediately suppressed Bingdi's soul on the ground, rendering it unable to move.
With a thought, the Snow Empress's embryo appeared in Huo Yuhao's hands.
Xue Di's condition is very strange right now.
After the sacrifice, her soul and flesh were supposed to disappear, but Tang San's intervention interrupted the sacrifice.
The legacy of the God of Ice and Snow was forcibly severed. In order to prevent his divine legacy from disappearing from the Douluo Continent, the God of Ice and Snow could only use his divine artifact, the Sigh of the Goddess of Ice and Snow, to store the Snow Empress's soon-to-dissipate soul in her soul bone. Then, using the soul bone, he completely transformed the Snow Empress into a human.
That is, transformation.
Xue Di can now be considered a true human being.
A pure human baby.
However, due to her congenital deficiency, Xue Di's current aura has become extremely weak, and she may die at any time.
Looking at this exquisitely beautiful figure, Huo Yuhao's murderous aura dissipated considerably.
The person who wanted to kill him was Xue Di, and had little to do with the baby in front of him.
After a 100,000-year-old soul beast is reborn, it will lose its memories of its previous life and become a living person.
The Snow Emperor before us can be described as a pure human infant.
She was an infant who was dying during childbirth.
At this moment, Xue Di's big, bright eyes were wide open as she stared at Huo Yuhao, and then her little face started to giggle.
However, soon, the Snow Empress's face turned ugly again, and blood began to overflow from her seven orifices.
Just as Huo Yuhao said, even if he didn't take action, Xue Di's infant body wouldn't last much longer.
But this is cutely unfair!
"Snow Empress, don't look at me, I'm not going to save you. Acting cute won't work at all."
At this moment, Xue Di's infant body seemed to understand Huo Yuhao's words. She stopped laughing and began to wail loudly. Combined with the blood that kept seeping from her body, she looked somewhat pitiful.
However, no matter how pitiful she appeared, Huo Yuhao decided to ignore her.
He sat down cross-legged and pulled a trident from the ground.
This trident is entirely black, with relatively thin blades on the left and right sides, while the central blade is two feet long and half a foot wide. It looks like a sword, but it is actually a trident.
After Huo Yuhao infused his soul power, the trident would emit a dazzling golden light.
Moreover, in Huo Yuhao's hands, the halberd was constantly vibrating, as if it were struggling.
This is the Sea God Trident, Tang San's natal artifact, which Huo Yuhao captured.
This is genuine.
Tang San used a special method to send the trident to the lower realm, but it ended up benefiting Huo Yuhao.
Huo Yuhao gripped the Trident of Poseidon tightly, but he was clearly struggling with it.
Although his mental power could unleash a force of 500,000 kilograms when it was pushed to its limit, the force would increase with the number of throwing knives.
But in fact, his throwing knives are very light.
The throwing knife can only unleash such terrifying power by relying on the quality of mental energy, and the superposition and explosion of extreme strength and speed.
The Trident of Poseidon, though small in appearance, weighs a full 108,000 jin (approximately 54,000 kg).
The Douluo Continent may not be large, but it has created a legend.
There are quite a lot of rules involved.
However, now that the Trident of Poseidon is in his hands, it is impossible for him to return it to Tang San.
He planned to forge the Trident of Poseidon into throwing knives.
This trident could be used to forge more than twenty throwing knives.
But he certainly couldn't complete such a huge project by himself.
At the call of the spirit, a figure in a white robe quickly appeared.
He looked around and, after getting a better understanding of the situation, laughed.
"Yuhao, it seems you've got something big up your sleeve!"
"Elder Yi, the Undead Demiplane is still too barren. I've found some people to do the infrastructure work. With these Soul Masters, I believe the Undead Demiplane will soon be habitable. Then, we can successfully launch the Undead Soul Ring Project."
"That's good." Elex stroked his beard and nodded.
"The profession of Soul Master in your world does have some merits. By studying the metals in nature and integrating them with the Soul Master's cultivation system, one can make up for the deficiencies in their own Soul Master cultivation and strength. It's quite interesting."
"I also studied soul tools some time ago, and now I'm stuck at level nine and a half soul tool master, unable to break through to level ten. I wanted to find someone to talk to, but when I looked back, I realized that I was already standing at the very top of soul tools in this world. When I will be able to break through to level ten in the future is still unknown."
Huo Yuhao: "."
Okay, okay, is this how you play it?
Even after some time apart, Electrolux is still the same old Electrolux, his swagger is still off the charts
Huo Yuhao smiled slightly.
"Elder Yi, this is the divine artifact I just obtained, the Trident of Poseidon. Don't underestimate its small size; it weighs 108,000 jin. Its materials are all extremely precious divine materials. I want to decompose and melt it down to refine it into throwing knives."
Huo Yuhao's implication was that he wanted to ask Elex for help.
Even with his abilities, it would still be somewhat difficult for him to successfully dismantle this Trident of Poseidon.
The main problem was that he didn't know where to start.
When Elixir heard Huo Yuhao's request, his eyes lit up and his gaze fell on the trident of Poseidon in Huo Yuhao's hand.
Elex, also eager to see the prey, gently stroked the trident's shaft and flicked it slightly.
The entire halberd began to tremble violently, emitting a buzzing sound.
Divine artifacts possess spirits, especially the Trident of Poseidon, which is nourished by the power of faith.
Elex sensed a strong power of faith emanating from it, and his face immediately lit up with excitement.
A bold idea arose in his mind.
"Yuhao, before we fuse the Trident of Poseidon, let's first completely absorb the power of faith contained within it."
"what?"
Huo Yuhao was surprised by Elex's words and quickly asked a question.
He knew that the Trident of Poseidon contained powerful divine force and a strong faith, but he had never coveted this faith.
The main problem is that he has no concept of the power of faith.
He didn't know how to gather the power of faith, let alone absorb the faith of others.
But today, Elex is actually encouraging him to absorb the faith.
He wanted to, but he didn't know how.
"Elder Yi, may I absorb the power of faith? How exactly do I do it?"
Electrolux smiled slightly.
"Yuhao, you actually already possess the power of faith, but you just haven't realized it."
"what?"
Electrolux's words completely shocked Huo Yuhao.
He already possessed the power of faith within him? How come he didn't know?
Could it be true, as Elex said, that he had always had it but simply hadn't discovered it?
He knew that Elex couldn't be lying.
So the question is, when and where did he acquire the power of faith? He has no idea where the power of faith within him is stored.
But then I saw Electrolux, with that confident look on his face.
Huo Yuhao was certain that Electrolux knew everything.
"Old Yi, stop keeping me in suspense and tell me quickly."
Elex stroked his beard and then said, "Yuhao, do you still remember the scene in the Light Demiplane where the Seven-Colored One devoured the Nine-Colored One's life essence, causing a natural disaster?"
"At that time, you protected the soul beasts of the Bright Forest. The soul beasts of the Bright Forest were grateful to you and transformed into a faint power of faith, which gathered deep in your soul."
"And this is the seed of faith that has been formed within you."
"ah?"
Huo Yuhao was completely stunned; Elex's words shocked him.
The way he acquired faith was far too frivolous.
Because of his simple help, these soul beasts felt grateful to him, and this gratitude actually transformed into the power of faith.
This is ridiculous, but judging from Electrolux's firm statement, it is the truth.
From this perspective, the Soul Beast race seems far too naive.
"Yuhao, I know you're surprised, but I'm even more surprised than you. If it were my past self, I might even feel jealous of you."
"In my past life, I wasted countless years in my world, exploring various methods to become a god, but all ended in failure, and in the end I could only leave this world with regret."
"Among the methods I explored was faith to become a god. During this time, I read through countless books, consulted materials and old relics, and conducted a deep study on the power of faith."
Although, due to the limitations of the world's rules, I have never been able to gather the power of faith and break through to the god level, I can proudly say that, apart from the god level, no one can compare to me in guiding and controlling the power of faith.
Elex's brow was full of pride; he had always been quite confident in his own strength.
After saying that, Elex began chanting profound and complex incantations, and his hands began to shimmer with dazzling light.
He slowly moved closer to Huo Yuhao, then raised his glowing hands slightly and placed them on Huo Yuhao's forehead. Soon, a faint point of light slowly emerged from the depths of Huo Yuhao's soul, drawn by him.
This point of light looked extremely faint, as if it might go out at any moment, but in Elex's hands, it seemed as if it could emit a dazzling light at any time.
Huo Yuhao stared intently at the faint point of light emerging from the depths of his soul. He realized that this was the seed of faith that Elex had spoken of.
"Elder Yi, is this the power of faith? But can my meager amount of faith power devour the terrifying power of faith on the Trident of Poseidon?"
Huo Yuhao suddenly began to question his own strength.
The main reason is that his little bit of faith doesn't seem like it's capable of accomplishing anything significant.
"Yuhao, even a small fish can eat a big fish."
Elex looked excited; he was very interested in what was about to happen.
"Yuhao, wait a moment. I will use a special method to draw out the power of faith from the Trident of Poseidon, and then you will use your powerful mental strength to crush them all."
In this way, you can use your seed of faith to devour these forces of faith one by one, from small to large, until you have completely consumed all faith.
"This trident of Poseidon contains a very strong power of faith. Once you absorb it all, your strength will improve significantly."
"Yuhao, let's not delay, let's get started quickly, otherwise things might change."
Huo Yuhao agreed with Elex's words and nodded. He then instantly summoned his terrifying mental power.
He held nothing back; this was already at the full capacity of his mental energy.
The overwhelming pressure was so great that some low-level undead were paralyzed on the ground, unable to move an inch.
The powerful undead were also restricted in their movements. At this moment, Elex's movements became much faster. Under his control, a golden-blue stream of faith power was fiercely drawn out from the Trident of Poseidon.
The moment it separated from the body, Huo Yuhao seized the opportunity and used his mental power to suppress it tightly, then squeezed and twisted it wildly until it turned into golden-blue fragments.
At this moment, Huo Yuhao was also manipulating his tiny seed of faith, which began to devour the smallest particle of faith light.
As time went by, the seed of faith on Huo Yuhao's body became more and more solid, and the light it emitted became stronger and stronger, while the faith power belonging to the Trident of the Sea God in the air was rapidly disappearing.
Faith nourishes himself, and a blue-gold cocoon gradually appears on Huo Yuhao's body, floating in the air with Huo Xingling, undergoing a transformation together.
At this moment, Elex finally stopped what he was doing, his eyes filled with relief.
Huo Yuhao's strength was already invincible, and even the gods of the Douluo God Realm in the lower realm could not defeat him, but now Huo Yuhao is still confined to the lower realm.
After today's transformation is complete, Huo Yuhao will be able to enter a completely new realm.
The realm of God.
Electrolux is looking forward to it.
With Huo Yuhao's matter resolved, he turned his attention to Xue Di's infant figure.
The Snow Empress possesses the original power of the Ice and Snow Goddess, and she has become one with the sigh of the Ice and Snow Goddess.
At this moment, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that Xue Di is the daughter of the Ice and Snow Goddess.
Seeing Xue Di's bright red smiling face, Ilex's face immediately showed a kind smile.
In his hand, several icicle-like objects emanating a terrifying chill suddenly appeared.
The extremely cold ice pillars contain terrifying ice-elemental power, rich and pure soul power, and life force.
This is the Mysterious Ice Marrow of Ten Thousand Years.
Huo Yuhao had him refine Di Tian's dragon body and gave him several strands of ten-thousand-year-old Xuanbing marrow. His utilization of energy had reached its peak, and he completed the process with only a few strands. He had kept the remaining ten-thousand-year-old Xuanbing marrow, but unexpectedly, it came in handy today.
"Little one, we are destined to meet."
The infant figure of the Snow Emperor before him was extremely weak and could die at any moment. Several green magic arrays instantly condensed beneath Elex's feet, and he placed four strands of ten-thousand-year-old Xuanbing Marrow at the center of the array's eye, which began to spin wildly.
Soon, streams of life energy, refined to the extreme, slowly converged towards the infant figure of the Snow Emperor.
The infusion of this life energy gradually strengthened Xue Di's aura, and soon she was no longer weak and began to solidify.
Xue Di's little face beamed even brighter with a smile.
As time went by, with the infusion of energy, the Snow Empress's small infant body began to grow slowly. Before long, she looked like a three or four-year-old. The icy blue energy on her body transformed into an ice and snow garment, covering her entire body.
On her feet, she wore a pair of crystal shoes, and on her head, she wore an ice crown, looking just like an ice princess.
It's important to understand that this is not the Snow Empress in her spirit form.
At this moment, Xue Di was truly a mortal being.
She turned misfortune into blessing; after going around in circles, the ending returned to the very beginning.
But it's a good ending overall.
Moreover, her growth continues.
The desolate undead demiplane was greeted by three transformed figures, bringing a unique vitality to this silent space.
The Star Luo Empire, Star Luo City.
Two days passed quickly, and the exciting loop race was just around the corner.
Everyone knew that a major event had occurred on the continent, with the four great empires all sending troops to the far north to subdue the audacious army of soul beasts.
But none of this matters to them. They are just an academy and cannot determine the outcome of a battle. Moreover, their more important battlefield is this All-Continent Elite High-Level Soul Master Tournament.
Half of the teams in the competition have been eliminated, but the competition venue is still packed with people.
The rules for the loop race had been explained in advance by the organizers, so the referee did not provide further explanations and went straight to the point, starting today's loop race.
The referee for the first match was a Soul Douluo of level 80 or above. He was very strong and looked powerful, with muscles full of strength. Just from the first impression, one could guess that his martial soul was a powerful beast martial soul.
"The first match of the round-robin is between the Necromancers' Holy Law Team and the Star Luo Royal Soul Instructor Team. Please have the captains of both teams come up to the stage to draw lots to determine the match format."
To increase the entertainment value of the competition and to allow for multiple possible outcomes, the round-robin format is not a fixed team battle.
Among these are individual battles, which test the individual strength of each member of the team.
There is a 2-2-3 formation, which tests the team's teamwork ability.
As for how to compete, it all depends on the captain's luck.
Everyone was shocked by the lineup for today's first round of matches.
Because both teams playing today are strong teams from the Star Luo Empire, they were surprisingly paired together.
The Star Luo Empire wants to tell all participants that the All-Continent Elite High-Level Soul Master Competition held by the Star Luo Empire this time is completely fair and transparent.
The Star Luo Empire truly lives up to its reputation as a powerful nation; its actions demonstrate a grand vision.
Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Zero, the leader of the Necromancer's Holy Law Cult, and Ye Guyi, the leader of the Star Luo Royal Soul Instructor Academy team, slowly walked onto the stage.
The referee glanced at the two of them and then chose to give the draw to Ye Guyi, who had a stronger aura.
After all, only one person needs to draw lots.
These two girls had such a strong presence that he felt he could barely withstand their intimidating aura as he stood between them.
Zero had no objection whatsoever, after all, Ye Guyi represented Huo Yuhao.
"Necromancer Team vs. Silla Royal Soul Master Academy Team, Team Battle!" the referee announced loudly the draw results.
Team battles are undoubtedly the most intense and comprehensive competition, testing the overall strength of both sides. Both team captains expressed no objection to team battles.
The referee announced in a deep voice, "Both teams, come onto the field."
In the waiting area, the siblings Feng Ling and Feng Dong from the Necromancer Squad happily stood up and led the other four team members in single file toward the stage.
The members of the Silla Royal Soul Instructor Academy were also filled with excitement. After hearing the referee's voice, they excitedly walked towards the stage.
Although Huo Yuhao is not here today, they are confident of winning the match. After all, Huo Yuhao has prepared a powerful weapon for them.
The Necromancers were at the height of their power within the Empire.
The name of Marshal Xingluo is renowned throughout the empire.
They also wanted to test their skills against the Necromancers. After all, it was a round-robin tournament, so losing one or two matches wouldn't matter, since it was an elimination tournament.
The players from both teams walked onto the stage and each took their own side, looking at each other with great fighting spirit. The referee's expression turned serious.
After all, both teams are equally important; both are the empire's top teams, and it wouldn't be worth it if either of them got into trouble.
After giving both sides a brief look, the referee slowly began to speak.
"The rules of the game are: no injury to the opponent, stop when you've made a point. Do you all understand?"
"Um!"
"Understood"
...
"I hereby announce that the first match of the round-robin tournament, between the Necromancers Team and the Star Luo Royal Soul Instructor Academy Team, is now officially open."
.
On the competition stage, the highly anticipated match finally began with the referee's command, as the 108 defensive pillars lit up.
Both teams dispersed, creating distance between themselves and their opponents, and then adjusted their final positions.
But two figures remained motionless.
They were the team leaders from both sides.
Zero and Leaf Bone Robe.
Both men stared at each other with arrogance, their eyes filled with hostility.
Ye Guyi was more arrogant, but Zero's expression also carried a different emotion, more like jealousy.
After this girl appeared, she stayed by Huo Yuhao's side. Huo Yuhao seemed to have a special kind of care for her, which Zero had always noticed.
What makes her Ye Gu Yi so special?
"Even if you're an adult, I won't show any mercy today," Ling said coldly, as if to say that she could win at any time.
"Huo Yuhao's person? You can say that without a problem. I am indeed his person now. However, the tone of your voice is making me very angry." Ye Guyi's aura was in no way inferior to Ling's, and was even stronger.
"If you want war, then let's fight."
"Come on, who's afraid of who!"
In an instant, Ling's martial soul possessed her, and dragon-like features appeared all over her body. Behind her, a blood dragon phantom also appeared. Seven soul rings, one yellow, two purple, three black, and one red, slowly emerged beneath her feet. The soul rings pulsed slowly, making Ling appear even more ethereal. Under her control, the powerful pressure of a Soul Saint emanating from her body all directed towards Ye Guyi.
Ye Guyi also summoned her Angel Martial Soul the instant Ling released her Martial Soul.
With her martial spirit possessing her, three pairs of six-winged, holy angel wings appeared behind Ye Guyi. The wings gently vibrated, causing her entire body to float slightly in mid-air. The six-winged angel martial spirit emitted a gentle, holy power that gathered towards her palm. Soon, a golden energy longsword was condensed and held in her hand.
Six soul rings—two yellow, two purple, and two black—slowly appeared and pulsed.
Ye Guyi's martial soul is no longer a simple holy angel martial soul.
Huo Yuhao used the Devouring Technology and the Necromancer's Magic researched by Elder Yi to purify and revert Ye Guyi's bloodline to its ancestral form. Now, she is the owner of the Six-Winged Angel Martial Soul.
Ten thousand years ago, the Spirit Hall possessed the Six-Winged Angel Spirit, a true god-level spirit.
The successful reversion of Ye Guyi's bloodline to its ancestral form confirmed to Huo Yuhao that Ye Guyi's ancestor was Qian Renxue, whose cultivation had been abolished by Tang San and left in the lower realm.
Below the stage, in the spectator area, in the Shrek Academy area, Wang Yan was shocked.
"It's actually a six-winged angel martial soul! The vice-captain of the Star Luo Royal Soul Instructor Academy team is actually a six-winged angel? This is simply unbelievable. This is a legendary martial soul."
Seeing Wang Yan's loss of composure, the Shrek Academy students became curious about Ye Guyi's martial soul on the stage. Just how precious must it be for the usually composed Wang Yan to show such an expression?
As Mu En's great-grandson, Bei Bei was quite knowledgeable, but he had only ever heard of the Holy Angel Martial Soul and had never heard of the Six-Winged Angel.
"Teacher Wang Yan, a six-winged angel, is that very powerful?"
"The Six-Winged Angel Martial Soul has transcended the scope of ordinary Martial Souls. According to the oldest records in the Sea God Pavilion, the Angel God ten thousand years ago possessed the Six-Winged Angel Martial Soul."
"The Six-Winged Angel is a legendary martial soul, and also the top-tier martial soul. The Six-Winged Angel symbolizes the spokesperson of God. People who possess this martial soul not only have full innate soul power, but also full innate soul power at level 20. As long as they have the first soul ring, they can directly obtain the second soul ring."
"Of course, these are all unofficial historical records. After all, many records have been lost over the course of ten thousand years. But what is certain is that the angelic power of the Six-Winged Angel Martial Soul is the nemesis of all evil Martial Souls."
"Although the members of the Necromancer's Cult are righteous evil spirit masters, their martial spirits are indeed evil martial spirits. It's very difficult for them to face a six-winged angel."
"Teacher Wang Yan, doesn't that mean that the six-winged angel on the competition stage could single-handedly wipe out the entire Necromancer Cult team?"
Upon hearing this, Wang Yan was immediately embarrassed and looked at Wang Dong, who had spoken.
"Well, that's hard to say."
Wang Yan dared not speak definitively.
He hoped that the Necromancers' Holy Law Team and the Star Luo Royal Soul Instructor Academy Team would fight to the death, so that he could see more of their trump cards and killer moves, and be more prepared for future battles.
On the competition stage, after the two team leaders released their martial spirits, the team members from both sides also began to release their own martial spirits.
In an instant, the arena was filled with spirit rings.
Among them, the Necromancer's Holy Law Cult's soul ring ratio far exceeds that of the Star Luo Royal Soul Instructor Academy team.
The combined number of ten-thousand-year soul rings on the Feng Ling and Feng Dong siblings is more than that on the other side.
In terms of momentum, the Star Luo Royal Soul Instructor Academy team was directly at a disadvantage.
But with Ye Guyi, who exudes a divine aura, in charge, they weren't intimidated.
Moreover, they possess deadly weapons.
Once their martial souls were released, the defensive-type soul masters released their barrier martial souls, and the remaining five soul masters also released their martial souls to assist him. Xu Jiaxin's storage soul tool flickered slightly, and soon a large pile of soul tool parts appeared on the ground.
The group then began the intensive assembly work.
The audience below the stage found this scene somewhat amusing.
This scene seems strangely familiar.
It seems that the opponent from the Star Luo Royal Soul Instructor Academy used this tactic in their last match.
Everyone sighed, realizing that the combat methods of Soul Masters were incredibly boring.
However, this is also a point of interest. Everyone wants to see if the members of the Star Luo Royal Soul Instructor Academy can successfully assemble these soul guide parts.
After all, their opponents had a powerful lineup led by a Soul Saint.
Ye Guyi's martial soul had just finished possessing her when Zero's attack arrived.
The fourth black soul ring behind her suddenly flashed brightly, and two red rays shot out from her two blood-red pupils, quickly reaching Ye Guyi.
The angel wings on Ye Guyi's back reacted quickly, blocking the two powerful attacks in front of her. However, the strong force still caused her body to uncontrollably take several steps back.
Zero is indeed a Soul Saint, and the strength of his soul power far surpasses that of Ye Guyi.
As soon as Ling Yi made his move, the figures of the Feng Ling and Feng Dong siblings moved as fast as ghosts towards the remaining students of the Star Luo Royal Soul Instructor Academy.
Meanwhile, the other members of the Necromancer Cult, led by Feng Lingfeng, rushed towards the Star Luo Royal Soul Instructor Academy members who were frantically assembling their killing daggers.
Seeing this, Ye Guyi's aura suddenly surged, and the sword in her hand seemed to contain terrifying high temperature. With a slash in mid-air, she actually annihilated Zero's powerful attack. At the same time, her figure also rushed towards Feng Ling and Feng Dong, the two siblings.
During the flight, a set of golden armor appeared on her body, protecting every inch of her skin.
Moreover, as soon as the armor appeared, it began to absorb the sun's flames from the sky, making her body temperature and aura much stronger again.
Ye Guyi's movements successfully interrupted the actions of Feng Ling and Feng Dong, the siblings. Ye Guyi, radiating the intense heat of the sun, coldly pointed her sword at them and said...
"This road is blocked."
Seeing Ye Guyi's posture, Zero and the others from the Necromancer's Holy Law Cult all had their pupils shrink sharply.
Ye Guyi actually intended to fight seven opponents alone.
Are you kidding me?
But her current actions are telling everyone that this is exactly what she wants to do.
Moreover, feeling the temperature and scorching aura emanating from Ye Guyi continuing to intensify, almost melting the arena beneath her feet...
They suddenly felt that Ye Guyi in front of them seemed to really be able to do it.
Ye Guyi had watched Ling and the others' matches and knew about Ling's and Feng Lingfeng's cultivation levels.
Even though her martial soul had been strengthened, she was still only a Soul Emperor, and the gap in cultivation level was huge. Moreover, she knew that her opponents were all quite strong.
The confidence she had to face them all alone came from this suit of armor.
Angel Saint Kai, a custom-made armor designed by Huo Yuhao for her.
This is not a soul tool, but a magic tool.
There is no comparable object for its grade, so it cannot be graded. However, Huo Yuhao said that this magical artifact is no worse than an eighth-level defensive soul tool because it was made in imitation of the divine artifact Angel Saint Kai.
It was designed by expert Electrolux.
This armor is extremely powerful, but it also has many limitations. It takes a month to cool down after charging up once, and the duration of each use cannot be too long. With her current strength and her six-winged angel martial soul, she can only maintain it for fifteen minutes.
She wasn't arrogant enough to think she could eliminate her opponent with this change in attitude; all she wanted to do was stall for time.
Huo Yuhao gave the other team members of the Star Luo Royal Soul Instructor Academy a lot of good stuff, which, when assembled, was enough to determine the outcome of a battle.
"Since she's trying to hold us off by herself, let's take care of her first."
Zero quickly caught up, and a solemn expression appeared on her face as she looked at Ye Guyi in this form.
After putting on that powerful armor, Ye Guyi's whole person was like a blazing flame.
The scorching heat of the sun descended from the heavens, pouring down upon her and becoming her weapon.
This sacred fire had a certain suppressive effect on the martial spirits of all of them.
Although their martial souls have been purified and are no longer afraid of the suppression of the divine martial soul, this still depends on the situation.
Ye Guyi's martial soul is clearly a very powerful divine martial soul, after all, it can draw upon the true fire of the sun, which shows that it is extraordinary.
Feng Dong looked troubled.
"Zero, her body temperature is too high, I can't even get close to her. The equipment the adults gave her is simply too overpowered, it's like they don't want us to win!"
Feng Dong naturally knew that Huo Yuhao gave Ye Guyi such powerful equipment not to deal with them, but they were unlucky to run into it today, so they could only accept their bad luck.
"You and Feng Ling get ready. Although you can get extra points later in the round-robin, I don't want to lose today's match."
As she finished speaking, the seventh crimson soul ring behind Ling lit up, and her figure began to become illusory. The snow-white evil dragon behind her began to materialize.
"Seventh Soul Skill, Martial Soul True Body".
Zero's soul power was extremely solid, and her seventh soul ring was a powerful 100,000-year soul ring. Therefore, her martial soul true body was a full 20 meters tall.
This is almost comparable to the Martial Soul True Body of the Evil Dragon, who possesses the cultivation level of a Title Douluo.
Although it was an evil dragon, its snow-white body coiled and swirled in the air, its huge pupils fixed on Ye Guyi's blazing flames before it.
Without the slightest hesitation, Zero controlled the dragon of his Martial Soul True Form, opened its blood-red maw, and charged towards Ye Guyi.
But the terrifying heat seemed to have burned away her soul power, making her movements somewhat slow.
With a resounding crash, Ye Guyi's body was sent flying several meters away, but the part of Zero's Martial Soul True Body that collided with Ye Guyi's body was charred black.
A large amount of soul power was applied to the wound, and it slowly returned to its original state.
But Zero's expression became even more serious.
This kind of high temperature is simply a foul.
This level of true solar fire is beyond the reach of people of their level.
"My lord, my lord, you really know how to give me a difficult problem!"
The only certainty is that Ye Guyi's current state won't last long, but it can be seen that the people of the Star Luo Royal Soul Instructor Academy are still assembling their secret weapon.
The one who's worried about not having enough time isn't the other side, but them.
Ye Guyi was clearly stalling for time, and very successfully.
She alone prevented all of them from getting even half a step closer to the rest of the Star Luo Royal Soul Instructor Team.
Zero took a deep breath and could only helplessly continue his attack on Ye Guyi, trading blows for damage.
At this moment, Feng Ling and Feng Dong, the two siblings, looked at each other and then hugged each other.
As they embraced, their martial spirits began to merge.
The enormous evil tiger and evil leopard martial spirits merged together.
At the moment of fusion, terrifying soul power fluctuations appeared on the two of them, and powerful soul power flowed out and surged into their two martial souls.
The Martial Soul Fusion Skill is not simply one plus one equals two, but one plus one equals more than two.
Both Feng Ling and Feng Dong are extremely powerful evil martial souls. After devouring several powerful beast king soul bones, their martial souls have undergone continuous transformations, and their strength has long surpassed that of top-tier martial souls.
The fusion skill of the two siblings' martial souls is undoubtedly extremely powerful.
Soon, a six-winged black tiger, fifty meters long, twenty meters wide, and ten meters high, appeared on the competition stage.
As soon as the six-winged black tiger appeared, it emitted terrifying dark energy, so powerful that it plunged the entire arena into darkness.
"What's going on? Why is the stage completely dark?"
The crowd below the arena only saw a gigantic black tiger appear, blotting out the sky, and then countless plumes of black mist spewed out from the arena, enveloping the entire arena and making it impossible for them to see anything.
No, it's not that you can't see anything at all. In the darkness, there is a terrifying red-gold fireball, just like the sun, spreading light in the dark space.
The two enormous figures on the competition stage made everyone at the Star Luo Royal Soul Instructor Academy tremble with fear, and their assembly speed suddenly increased significantly.
It wasn't that they doubted Ye Guyi's strength, but the scene before them was simply too shocking. Judging from Ye Guyi's appearance, she should be able to hold on, but they didn't know how long she could hold on.
This elite tournament is the debut of the Star Luo Royal Soul Instructor Academy, and they certainly don't want to lose the first round of the tournament.
Seeing Zero's true martial soul form and the martial soul fusion skill of the Feng Ling and Feng Dong siblings, Ye Guyi's delicate face finally revealed an ugly expression. Huo Yuhao is a monster, and his subordinates are all freaks too.
However, since things had come to this, she had no choice but to bite the bullet and proceed. Ye Guyi raised the golden sword in her hand high and gripped it tightly. The terrifying solar flames on her body surged wildly into it. At the same time, her divine power and pure soul power were also slowly poured into it.
In just one breath, Ye Guyi's aura decreased by at least half, but the aura on the longsword in her hand increased countless times.
A terrifyingly powerful energy longsword appeared on the arena. She was no longer holding the sword with both hands; the sword was too powerful for her to handle.
However, at that moment, a golden light appeared behind her. Behind that light were also six angel wings that blotted out the sky. As soon as it appeared, it grasped the Sun Sword that Ye Guyi had condensed.
With a light, sweeping motion, the scorching longsword clashed fiercely with the charging six-winged black tiger.
This is not Ye Guyi's true martial soul form, but the domain ability that comes with the divine angel martial soul. She possesses the Angel Domain, which can only be activated when she reaches the seventh ring of Soul Saint. However, with the Angelic Armor given to her by Huo Yuhao, she can still manage to activate it for a while now.
Although Ye Guyi is currently at a disadvantage, she has not given up hope. She is still capable of fighting. The terrifying dark energy of the Six-Winged Black Tiger blots out the sky and covers the entire arena. Although it looks exaggerated, it does not have a significant impact on her.
Her martial spirit destined her to be largely ineffective against the opponent's methods; what she truly feared was the terrifying size of the six-winged black tiger.
If the opponent didn't have wings, she could fly high into the sky to dodge, but the six-winged black tiger can obviously fly. Since that's the case, her flying attribute is meaningless, and she can only tough it out.
The terrifying six-winged black tiger covered a third of the arena. Its claws were a full five meters long, emanating a terrifying sharpness and a powerful killing intent.
The first attack was thwarted, and the siblings Feng Ling and Feng Dong hurriedly controlled the six-winged black tiger, opening its blood-red maw and instantly unleashing a deafening roar.
The tiger's roar shook the heavens!
The entire arena began to tremble and buzz, and the 108 defensive pillars also started to flicker. The people on the arena were the most affected.
This attack was indiscriminate, and the members of the Necromancer's Cult hurriedly released all their soul rings, using their strongest defensive soul skills in conjunction with their soul bones to protect their ears.
The moment the attack arrived, all the members of the Star Luo Royal Soul Instructor Academy automatically activated their invincible shields, protecting them from the sonic attack.
However, they were all quite far apart, which gave them time to react. But Ye Guyi was in a terrible situation. As the main target of the sonic attack, she was caught off guard and had no time to react.
Moreover, even with the angelic armor and the inferior protection of the angelic domain, her body still trembled at such close range.
A line of blood appeared in her ear, and blood dripped out drop by drop. Her face turned deathly pale, and her aura suddenly weakened.
The Feng siblings, Feng Ling and Feng Dong, were incredibly clever. Ye Guyi was indeed an untouchable fireball; no physical attack or physical contact could touch her. Forcing an attack would only result in injury. Since that was the case, they would use an invisible attack.
They had previously tested their Martial Soul Fusion Technique.
Their six-winged black tiger's greatest strength is not its killing power, but its powerful sonic attack.
A powerful tiger roar can even shatter a small mountain.
Although the armor Huo Yuhao gave Ye Guyi was strong, their sonic attacks would cause more damage the closer the target was to them, and they relied on surprise attacks.
This trick was surprisingly effective.
Ye Guyi was instantly reduced to half its original size, and the angelic fire on her body was no longer as intense.
Zero seized the opportunity, controlling the enormous Evil Dragon Martial Soul True Body. Blood light shimmered on her body, and white scales swirled in the blood clouds, making her look quite sinister.
Her blood cloud has a corrosive effect.
Blood clouds surged forth, and Zero's figure crashed headlong into them.
The angelic spirit behind Ye Guyi brandished a blazing longsword to defend herself.
"Boom—"
The terrifying collision sound rang out again, and Ye Guyi's body staggered back a few steps. However, she managed to steady herself by the vibration of her angel wings. But soon, the six-winged black tiger controlled by the Feng Ling and Feng Dong siblings appeared in front of her.
The angel's spirit could only spare one hand to fight it.
She was already at her limit, but she stubbornly held on, and at the same time, a resolute look appeared in her eyes.
Behind her, a pair of angel wings began to slowly disintegrate, and countless holy feathers scattered in the air above the arena, like snowflakes falling and dancing, creating a very beautiful scene.
But within this beauty lies a hint of danger.
Each angel's wing contains a terrifying killing intent.
Ye Guyi is a genius, but aren't Ling, Feng Ling, and Feng Dong also geniuses?
They were all personally trained by Huo Yuhao, receiving the best resources and assistance from him, making them far more talented than the so-called geniuses of the Douluo Continent.
In the future, they will definitely break through the limits of Douluo, and it is not impossible for them to even become gods.
Ye Guyi's talent wasn't particularly strong; it was only after Huo Yuhao gave her the ancestral bloodline and she obtained the six-winged angel that she was barely considered good enough.
Originally, Huo Yuhao told Ye Guyi that if they encountered the Necromancer's Holy Law Cult team in the competition, they should just surrender. After all, the knockout stage was over, and they only needed to advance in the round-robin stage. Losing a few matches wouldn't matter.
However, Ye Guyi refused to admit defeat; she possessed her own backbone and pride.
She joined Huo Yuhao and became one of his people.
She knew Huo Yuhao's strength and his ambition, so if she wanted to stand by his side, she had to have the strength to match him.
If she can't even defeat Huo Yuhao's few subordinates, then what qualifications does she have to become Huo Yuhao's partner?
She desperately needed to prove herself, and that started with this competition.
The bet with Huo Yuhao showed her the ugliness of human nature. Even in Shrek City, which is supposed to be the most upright, there are countless dirty and despicable things.
Although there are no major wars between the countries now, the lives of ordinary people are even more miserable. Small border skirmishes are constant, which is more terrible than war. What she sees in the shadows is not the happiness of the people, but starving people everywhere, human trafficking, slave trading, and the exchange of power for sex.
In Shrek City, she witnessed a nobleman abusing a young girl, and she couldn't help herself and intervened.
She was like a messenger from hell, personally slaughtering those bloated, disgusting nobles.
Then, using the mask Huo Yuhao gave her, she stood in front of the Shrek Guard and the Shrek Academy's elite members to see how they would resolve the situation.
But the greater the expectation, the greater the disappointment.
Shrek Academy, for the sake of the academy's reputation, chose to suppress these events.
The slave trade was permitted. Those slaves who were imprisoned and tortured, though inhumane, were indeed the private property of the nobility. They had no right to interfere. Moreover, they now had to find the real culprit and protect the rights of the nobility.
Ye Guyi, utterly disappointed, left in despair.
She did not choose to rescue the imprisoned slaves because she knew it would be pointless.
Slavery cannot be completely saved; these sordid transactions will not disappear unless they are eradicated.
Huo Yuhao had told her not to be disgusted by the real world, but after she actually saw what was called reality, she realized just how cruel the world really was.
After closing her eyes and seeing the world clearly, she suddenly didn't want to open them anymore; she wanted to live in a real world forever.
For the first time, she had ambition.
According to Huo Yuhao's description, her ancestors, ten thousand years ago, were from the Angel lineage of the Spirit Hall on the Douluo Continent.
She is a descendant of the angel race, which means she has the opportunity to inherit the angelic deity and become the God of Angels.
After the bet ended, Huo Yuhao didn't force her, but let her make a choice.
She joined Huo Yuhao's camp without hesitation.
She had no right to choose between Heaven and Hell; she was destined to be chosen.
"Huo Yuhao, can you tell me how we can change this world?" Ye Guyi asked earnestly, and it was clear that she meant it.
After pondering for a moment, Huo Yuhao revealed the cruel truth.
"Changing this world is impossible. In that great war ten thousand years ago, the Spirit Empire, established by the Spirit Hall, had two-thirds of the Soul Masters on the Douluo Continent, more than twenty Title Douluos, and even two gods, yet it still lost the competition."
Do you know where they went wrong?
Ye Guyi shook her head. How could she possibly know?
Huo Yuhao smiled slightly and continued, "Their downfall was that they wanted to reshuffle the power structure on the mainland. Pope Bibi Dong said that establishing the Martial Soul Empire would bring happiness and well-being to all its people, freeing them from class troubles. But all of that was a lie."
However, it cannot be denied that after the establishment of a new power and the reshuffling of power on the mainland, ordinary people will enjoy a period of prosperity. But once the reshuffling is over and a new aristocracy emerges, exploitation will begin again, and it will be even more brutal.
"Unfortunately, the nobles of the two great empires of Douluo Continent did not want to relinquish their power. They went crazy and supported the two empires. However, the methods of these nobles were meaningless in front of the Spirit Hall. Many ants can kill an elephant, but they were facing a dragon."
"How did the Spirit Hall lose?" Ye Guyi was unaware of the history from ten thousand years ago. She grew up in the Sun Moon Empire and knew very little about the history of the Douluo Continent.
"The nobility do not want the continent to be reshuffled, and neither does the divine realm."
"Only war and suffering mortals can allow the gods in the heavens to steadily harvest the power of faith. The unification of the continent does them no good. The divine realm is the key to the great war ten thousand years ago."
The most crucial point is that the gods of the divine realm would not allow the angel gods to rule the entire world. Therefore, in that lifetime, both the sea god and the Asura god bestowed their inheritances, benefiting a lucky but unfortunate individual.
"That person, is it the Sea God Tang San?"
Ye Guyi countered. Although she was not familiar with the history of Douluo Continent, Tang San's name was renowned throughout the continent. He was the god of faith for sea soul masters. Ye Guyi had encountered many sea soul masters whose faith in the sea god had reached a point of madness.
It's just like a cult.
"Yes, it's him. But it's too early to talk about him now. I've said so much just to tell you three things."
"First, if you want to change the world, you must first possess the power to overthrow all the empires on the continent."
"Secondly, you must have the resources to contend with the divine realm."
Third, and most importantly, you must be prepared to be at odds with the whole world. If you want to eliminate classes, then everyone will be your enemy, including me. After all, I am now a beneficiary of the aristocracy.
However, after listening to Huo Yuhao's words, Ye Guyi only hesitated for a moment before firmly stating...
"I'm going to do it, and you'll help me, right?"
"Of course, but I don't want you to just be acting on a whim. This is a lifelong career."
"I have been thinking about this for a long time. On the way here, I kept thinking about this. Just now, I strengthened my belief that I will do this for the rest of my life."
"Okay, but where do you want to start?" Huo Yuhao asked.
He saw unwavering faith in Ye Guyi's face. She now possessed the qualifications to become a god. Although the angelic deity was shattered, as long as Ye Guyi could gather faith and reach level 100 to become a god, she could regain her position as a first-level angelic god.
Huo Yuhao had a premonition that the moment Ye Guyi's plan succeeded would be the moment she became a god.
"Then let's build the Spirit Hall first! I want to change the fate of the Spirit Empire ten thousand years ago."
