Douluo Unrivaled: The Beginning Materializes the Black Abyss and White Flowers

Chapter 279 Bu Liren - Huo Yuhao
Looking at the bag of gold soul coins in her hand, Artoria knew that if she hadn't been so impulsive and wary just now, the two sides might have been able to sit down and have a proper talk.

However, she did not regret it. After all, the Holy Grail War was so cruel that no one could predict who would be the enemy and who would be the friend. It was never wrong to be vigilant.

Moreover, the other party showed no intention of talking, and immediately attacked and ran away, clearly indicating that they were also wary of them.

"The Holy Grail War? The Sun Moon Empire has changed the rules for this Soul Master Tournament and even invited our sect to participate. Old Heavenly Dragon, what do you think? Should we go?"

Nan Shuishui frowned slightly. Participating in the Soul Master Competition was indeed a great thing in a sense.

After all, performing well in the competition can greatly enhance the sect's reputation, which will undoubtedly have immeasurable benefits for the sect's future development.

Of course, all of this is on the premise that the participating students' performance is outstanding enough.

Nan Shuishui was quite confident in the strength of the younger generation of Tianlongmen and Dilongmen. Although they might not be the most outstanding group, they were definitely among the geniuses.

"Go, of course!"

Tianlong Douluo's attitude was exceptionally resolute.

In the past, only Soul Master Academies were qualified to participate in the Soul Master Competition; their sects had no say in it at all.

However, the Sun Moon Empire's reform of the competition is undoubtedly an excellent opportunity for their sect, so he naturally has no intention of backing down.

"But you should be able to guess that the Holy Grail War is very likely to break out in Mingdu as well. Aren't you really afraid that the disciples of the Heavenly Dragon Gate will perish there?"

Nan Shuishui was still somewhat hesitant.

She certainly hoped that the Earth Dragon Gate could participate in the Soul Master Competition. She didn't expect them to achieve outstanding results. As long as they could enter the top 32, the Earth Dragon Gate would become famous throughout the continent, unlike now, where most of the people who know about the Earth Dragon Gate are only from the Heavenly Soul Empire.

However, the situation in the Holy Grail War was far too complicated, and she had to have some concerns.

After all, they had already witnessed Artoria's immense power, and there were countless Servants like her, making her extremely dangerous.

Nan Shuishui didn't actually want Nan Qiuqiu to get involved, after all, the position of the Sea God was so prestigious, how could their Earth Dragon Gate possibly covet it?

Even if they were to win the Holy Grail War by sheer luck, whether they could retain their position as the Sea God was still a big question mark.

After all, once victory and the inheritance of divine status are achieved, no one knows whether they can become a god on the spot.

If not, wouldn't those who possess divine inheritance become highly sought-after by various forces?

Any ambitious Soul Master would want to become a god, and who wouldn't want the infinite lifespan, immense power, and supreme status that come with divine inheritance?
"Our Heavenly Dragon Sect doesn't have a Master, so those people's eyes probably won't be on our Heavenly Dragon Sect."

Tianlong Douluo laughed loudly, then looked at Nan Shuishui with a hint of schadenfreude.

At first, he was very envious of the fact that the Earth Dragon Gate had a Master, thus enabling them to participate in the Holy Grail War.

But now that he understands the dangers of the Holy Grail War, he feels it's best for the Heavenly Dragon Gate not to get involved.

With only one Super Douluo in the Heavenly Dragon Sect, he truly lacked the ability to compete for the divine throne inheritance.

"Old Tianlong, you...!" Nan Shuishui's face darkened; Tianlong Douluo's words had hit her sore spot.

"Xiao Nan, let me give you some advice: when it's time to give up, you have to give up. For us, the inheritance of the sect is the most important thing!"

The Heavenly Dragon Douluo's smile vanished, his expression turning serious as he earnestly warned him.

After all, in terms of seniority, he is Nan Shuishui's elder.

"Of course I know!" Nan Shuishui rolled her eyes. She wasn't blind to the situation. She wouldn't be blindly confident and participate in a contest with no chance of winning just because Artoria was powerful.

However, it's easier said than done. Could Tianlong Douluo himself actually do it? Based on Nan Shuishui's understanding of Tianlong Douluo, he is an extremely stubborn person.

Take Dragon City for example. In the heart of Tianlong Douluo, its status is almost equivalent to that of a sect's inheritance.

If one day he had to choose between Dragon City and the sect's legacy, he probably wouldn't give up easily.

"You understand this yourself, but we can't withstand too much trouble. I understand this Douluo Continent less and less."

Tianlong Douluo shook his head, sighed, and then transformed into a bolt of lightning, disappearing from the spot.

"Qiuqiu, after this competition is over, you should take people to Haiyuan City to establish the Earth Dragon Gate branch!"

After watching Tianlong Douluo leave, Nan Shuishui turned to look at Nan Qiuqiu.

She also realized that it was time to find a way out for the Earth Dragon Gate, and Haiyuan City was undoubtedly the best option at present.

"I understand, Mom!" Nan Qiuqiu replied, feigning composure, though she was secretly thrilled.

The thought of seeing Lu Jingming in Haiyuan City made her eager to go.

Deep within the Demon Forest, in the underground city of the Holy Spirit Cult headquarters, a bizarre and terrifying ritual is underway.

"Ouch!"

Hundreds of mournful wolf howls shattered the silence of the sealed underground city like sharp blades.

In the Holy Spirit Cult's sacrificial square, hundreds of believers dressed in black robes roared in agony after drinking the blood wine that exuded an eerie aura.

At first, the roars were mixed with human screams, but as time went on, under the sudden appearance of the blood moon above the dungeon, their voices gradually transformed into a chilling wolf howl.

Under the erosion of a mysterious force originating from a superior bloodline, the human bloodline of these believers is being completely covered and devoured, leading to a terrible mutation.

Their muscles and veins began to twist and deform, and their skulls stretched and changed shape. The pain caused by this change was unimaginable. If it were an ordinary person, they would probably die on the spot due to a breakdown of will.

However, the Holy Spirit Church has never lacked fanatical believers who are willing to die for their beliefs and have unwavering will.

After all, in this turbulent era, the most likely to emerge are those who are obsessed with their beliefs and place all their hopes on their faith.

Their will is both fragile and firm. At times, they are not afraid of death or pain, but once their faith is shaken, it is more painful for them than death.

Five hundred carefully selected fanatical followers of the Holy Spirit Cult resolutely drank the mysterious blood and began to transform into something inhuman.

Zhongli Wu, the leader of the Holy Spirit Cult, stared intently at the believers below who were undergoing changes, his eyes filled with anticipation and fervor.

Above him, Ye Xishui and Long Xiaoyao also stared intently at the believers, while their gazes occasionally drifted towards the blood moon overhead, which emitted an eerie light.

Under the glow of the blood moon, even those who were titled Douluo could feel their emotions being inexplicably stirred, and an impulse to go completely mad surged in their hearts.

Fortunately, as long as one reaches the Title Douluo level, they can resist this influence with their own strong willpower.

Those evil soul masters below the title Douluo level were undoubtedly driven mad by their very nature. Their eyes were bloodshot as they greedily looked down at the Holy Spirit Cult believers who were undergoing transformation, their eyes filled with longing.

At the forefront of the Holy Spirit Cult followers, Blood-Eyed Saint Huo Yuhao drank the blood from the cup without hesitation.

Unlike the blood drunk by other believers, the blood he drank was thicker and emitted a more powerful aura.

As the blood slowly flowed into his body, Huo Yuhao felt as if the blood was evaporating inside him, his flesh emitting cries of pain, while his spirit was undergoing a transformative metamorphosis.

A strong impulse made Huo Yuhao unable to help but let out a deafening roar to the sky. The wolf's howl carried a terrifying pressure, and the tangible aura spread out from him.

The low-level evil spirit masters of the Holy Spirit Cult immediately knelt down, their spirits seemingly controlled by some kind of power, involuntarily bowing and worshipping in Huo Yuhao's direction.

Huo Yuhao's Spirit Eye Martial Soul and Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion Martial Soul were simultaneously absorbed by this powerful force from unfamiliar blood.

His spirit rings, spirit, and body were all crushed, and then reforged under the influence of this mysterious power.

Only the Herrscher of Knowledge gem seemed unaffected by this power, still emitting a faint light.

As time passed, Huo Yuhao's eyes gradually transformed into vertical pupils, emitting a strong blood-red light, and his body began to be covered with mysterious ice-blue patterns.

"Yuhao!" On the other side, Xiaowu, who now completely accepts Huo Yuhao as her lover and is now called Xiaomei, looked worried as she watched Huo Yuhao's tremendous changes.

"If you, as my Master, cannot even accept this blessing, then you deserve to die. How can you become the lord of the wolves in this world?"

A gigantic werewolf spoke, its sharp claws gleaming coldly in the dim light. Its powerful muscles bulged, displaying terrifying strength, and its massive size exuded a strong sense of oppression. Its thick, coarse, dark gray fur further confirmed its inhuman nature. This was Bu Liren's leader—Hu Lei, the follower summoned by Huo Yuhao. The powerful aura emanating from his blood belonged to him.

Even Huo Yuhao himself chose to drink the blood of Hu Lei, hoping to transform into a Bu Liren.

Because of his physical defects, drinking the blood of Hu Lei and becoming a Bu Li werewolf would grant him powerful regenerative abilities, even immortality, enough to repair his physical defects.

Moreover, becoming a werewolf is almost entirely beneficial, except for the potential risks of becoming an inhuman or going berserk. The powerful regenerative abilities, long lifespan, and even greater strength are undoubtedly fatally attractive to evil soul masters who pursue power.

Evil spirit masters will stop at nothing in their pursuit of power. What does it matter if they are not human? They have long since abandoned their humanity.

Therefore, upon learning that they could be transformed into Bu Liren and the specific method of transformation, Zhong Liwu and Ye Xishui immediately selected five hundred fanatical believers and formed such a team.

After all, according to Hu Lei, to transform into a Bu Li human, one must first endure the immense pain brought about by racial change, which is generally unbearable for ordinary people. Even if the transformation is successful, one is merely cannon fodder who has lost their will and self.

To truly transform into a Buli human, gaining a long life, immortality, and immense power, one must be able to endure this pain; otherwise, one is not qualified.

Of course, if one already possesses the same abundant blessings as those who walk away from the world, then the transformation will be easier.

However, in this world, there is obviously no such thing as abundance and blessing, so everything can only be maintained by one's own willpower.

The fanatical followers of the Holy Spirit Cult undoubtedly possess unwavering will.

As for Huo Yuhao, there's no need to even mention him.

When he absorbed the Ice Emperor in the far north, he experienced unimaginable pain.

Now, his willpower is as firm as a rock and unshakable. He has fully endured the transformation caused by the Blood of Thunder with his indomitable willpower.

Hu Lei didn't really care about Huo Yuhao, even though the other party was his master.

But he was naturally very willing to spread the bloodline of the Buli people in another world.

Moreover, Huo Yuhao has good aptitude, and Hu Lei thinks he can be trained to become the leader of the Buli people in this world, and then lead the Buli people to conquer this planet, and spread the abundant blessings to the whole universe.

Hu Lei lowered his head slightly and looked at Xiao Mei, who had a worried expression on her face.

In his eyes, this woman was a superior physical body to Huo Yuhao, far surpassing him in both strength and life status.

However, her personality was a flaw, making her completely unsuitable to be the leader of Bu Liren.

Otherwise, Xiao Mei would be the best choice, not Huo Yuhao.

However, considering the relationship between Xiao Mei and Huo Yuhao, Hu Lei felt that their child might be the best choice.

If his original body hadn't died and he weren't just a memory entity, he would definitely have personally led Bu Liren to rise in the other world.

Now, Hu Lei only wants to cultivate a suitable successor so that Li Ren can once again achieve glory in the other world.

Of course, if the Holy Grail could resurrect him, then everything would be different.

However, Hure was not a reckless fool; he also possessed considerable wisdom and had long since discerned what was hidden behind the Holy Grail War.

Therefore, he will not place all his hopes on the Holy Grail, but will rely on his own strength to recreate the glory of the Bourne people in this world.

And now, this is the first step.

Thinking of this, Hu Lei roared to the sky, and his sharp claws tore open his chest without hesitation, exposing his beating heart to the air.

As blood gushed down, the transformation process of Huo Yuhao and the Holy Spirit Cult followers was greatly accelerated.

Seeing Hu Lei's chest recover in an instant, Zhong Liwu and the others' eyes became even more ardent.

Who is the Holy Emperor? They don't know him at all; in their hearts, the God of Abundance is their only faith.

At this moment, silver-white hair slowly grew on Huo Yuhao's body, his ten fingers gradually transformed into sharp claws, and terrifying frost turned into white mist, enveloping his body.

His height rapidly increased to over three meters, his muscles were as bulging as ice rocks, and fine ice crystals condensed between his silvery-white hair, reflecting bursts of cold light.

Sharp ice spikes sprout from key areas such as the shoulders, back, and elbows, resembling natural armor and exuding a chilling aura.

His head gradually transformed into a wolf's head, with a protruding muzzle, fangs as sharp as icicles, gleaming with a chilling light, and ears erect and covered in frost.

Its tail is thick like a steel whip, with ice clusters at the end. When it is swung, it brings up gusts of biting cold wind, as if it can cut through the air.

Huo Yuhao clenched his claws, and a terrifying explosion of air rang out. This was caused solely by his physical strength.

There was no trace of madness in his bloodshot eyes, only calmness and coldness.

Amidst the pervasive white frost, the enormous werewolf slowly shrank, quickly returning to the size of a normal human, revealing Huo Yuhao's true appearance.

With his powerful mental strength, he quickly mastered this new power, and was able to switch freely between werewolf and human forms at any time.

"very good!"

Seeing this, Hu Lei showed a satisfied expression.

How could a piece of trash who can't even control his own power be qualified to become Bu Liren's leader?
The next moment, a blood-red claw-like light flashed across Huo Yuhao's neck like lightning, much to everyone's horror.

Zhong Liwu and the others were so shocked that they stood up abruptly, their faces showing astonishment. Long Xiaoyao's face darkened instantly, and he clenched his fists tightly. If Ye Xishui hadn't been quick-witted and pulled him back in time, he probably would have attacked on the spot.

"Yuhao!"

Xiao Mei couldn't help but scream, her eyes filled with intense hatred as she looked at Hu Lei, emanating a terrifying divine power.

"Xiaomei, I'm fine!"

Suddenly, Huo Yuhao, whose head had fallen to the ground, spoke. The headless corpse slowly bent down, picked up its head, and then placed it steadily on its neck.

The severed wound healed instantly after the head was put back in place. Huo Yuhao twisted his neck, making a sound of bones grinding together.

"Gudong!"

Upon witnessing this horrific scene, the evil spirit masters of the Holy Spirit Cult involuntarily swallowed hard, their gazes growing increasingly fanatical.

"Very good, the blessing you received is complete!"

Hu Lei's lips curled into a sinister smile. The blood Huo Yuhao drank came from his heart, which was fundamentally different from the blood that others drank.

Other Holy Spirit Cult followers who transform into werewolves also gain a certain degree of immortality, but they are far less powerful than Huo Yuhao.

"I can feel that the power of the Spirit Eye and the Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion has completely merged with mine."

A smile appeared on Huo Yuhao's lips. The terrifying white frost aura instantly froze the blood that had just spilled from the severed head, and then turned it into ice ash and dissipated in the air.

"What a wonderful feeling, as if I've been reborn. Is this what Ayumi's body is like?"

Huo Yuhao calmly analyzed his current physical condition. The parts that were once missing were restored to their original state the moment he became Bu Liren. He had finally returned to being a truly complete man.

Huo Yuhao looked at Xiao Mei, whose face was full of surprise, and his heart couldn't help but stir.

Xiao Mei's beauty is undeniable, and her gentle, motherly temperament is undeniably fatally attractive to Huo Yuhao, who lost his mother at a young age.

Even though Huo Yuhao is now cold and ruthless, he is gradually attracted to Xiao Mei.

Previously, he was willing but unable to get close; he could only watch.

But things are different now; he has fully recovered and has regained his full abilities.

This is one of the reasons why he was willing to risk drinking Hu Lei's heart blood. One reason was to obtain powerful strength and immortality, and the other important reason was to return to being a real man so that he could truly be with Xiao Mei.
