Douluo Continent: When Huo Yuhao Becomes the Lord of the End

Chapter 141, Level 44, Sunset Great Forest
"Teacher, in addition to that, my soul power has reached level forty-four."

Besides the boost to soul power from the 58,000-year-old Evil Eye Soul Ring, there's also the accumulation from previous enlightenment, so it's not surprising that he's reached level 44 now.

Huo Yuhao is not hampered by the slow upgrade of his ultimate attributes, or rather, although he is, it has little impact. He is currently cultivating the Spirit Eye Martial Soul, and his ultimate attributes are engraved on the Bell of the End.

Why do top-tier Soul Masters level up slowly between levels 30 and 70?
First, the purity of soul power required for a Soul Master with ultimate attributes far exceeds that of an ordinary Soul Master. When breaking through levels, a Soul Master with ultimate attributes needs to accumulate a total amount of soul power far exceeding that of the same level, and then compress it to make the purity of soul power match the ultimate attributes.

Secondly, when absorbing soul power, the ultimate attribute will spontaneously modify the soul master's physique, thereby enabling the soul master to adapt to high-purity energy. As a result, more than half of the soul power is used for physical enhancement during cultivation, such as expanding meridians and improving cell tolerance.

Third, the ultimate attribute requires strict control of mental power. Insufficient mental power will prevent the soul master from fully mobilizing the ultimate attribute, which will become a hindrance to himself.

The reason why Huo Yuhao doesn't have these constraints is quite simple. First, his mental strength is high enough and his control is precise enough. Second, his body has been modified by the Life Gold and [Heavenly Movement], making it strong enough to perfectly accommodate extreme attributes without consuming excess energy.

This ensures that while he possesses exceptional attributes, he won't be hindered by the terrible flaws inherent in those attributes.

In short, our Old Huo is awesome, no need to say more!

"Level 44?!"

Poison couldn't believe it.

The old man is still too inexperienced. Look how stable Old Kong's emotions were before. Even with a 100,000-year soul ring, he just looked up at the sky at a 45-degree angle and hummed in agreement. He still has a lot to learn.

"Teacher, this contains the accumulation of my deep meditation from that time, plus the fact that this soul ring is relatively old, so it's normal."

normal?

This is absolutely not normal. Du Bu Si knows how much his disciple's previous soul rings exceeded the limit, and now his fourth soul skill is even more so.

The Eye of Time Travel?

He felt like he was dreaming as he realized he had been hit by this soul skill.

I won't say anything more. I can't lose face as an elder. I must stay calm.

Some of the reclusive Poison Undying was about to loot the corpse. He had been focused on whether his disciple could safely absorb the soul ring, but he hadn't expected that the nearly 60,000-year-old Evil Eye could produce a skull.
Disappointingly, there was no one.

Huo Yuhao wasn't surprised. Without the echo of [Strong Luck] and with the soul beast's age not reaching 100,000 years, soul beasts didn't produce soul bones 100% of the time. As expected, this 60,000-year-old Evil Eye Soul Bone wasn't suitable for him.

Of course, it's not that the attributes are unsuitable, but rather the age limit.

Once it becomes powerful enough, that evil eye tyrant ruler could become a decent soul bone, skull, or external soul bone eye.

Instead of absorbing low-age soul bones now and slowly consuming Tianmeng's essence to raise their age later, it's better to just get to the top level once you're stronger.

The essence that Tianmeng saved could be added to his seventh spirit ring, allowing his martial spirit true body to reach an unprecedented level, or used for other purposes; there's no need to waste it.

Gu Yuena hasn't returned yet, and Du Busi isn't in a hurry. He originally wanted to cultivate a relationship with his disciple, and he didn't plan to go back quickly this time. He still has to go to the Body Sect. Let that old guy Kong Deming worry about it.

The master and disciple left the Demon Forest and arrived at the border where the Sun and Moon meet the Heavenly Soul, which was also the agreed meeting place.

Huo Yuhao prepared this 58,000-year-old Evil Eye Soul Beast; he had never tasted meat like this before.

To be honest, the 'eyeball' didn't taste very good, but thanks to the Body Sect's spiritual absorption technique, he wasn't picky. After all, he could absorb some spiritual energy from flesh and blood.

Two days later, Huo Yuhao and Gu Yuena reunited. Although the latter looked unchanged, her essence had been completely integrated into this body. Clearly, she had made a difficult decision.

Gu Yuena's fifth soul ring was also formed through her own bloodline, and her current soul power level is level 52.

Du Bu Si remained unconcerned. In his view, Gu Yue Na was merely a disciple of Jing Hong Chen, and she must have her own family background. As long as it didn't affect Yu Hao, he didn't care about anything else.

He is talented, but it's not his true martial soul, so he doesn't care.

Sunset Forest is located in the northeast of the Heavenly Soul Empire. To reach Sunset Forest, one must pass through the Heavenly Soul Empire's capital, Heavenly Dou City.

Although he was secretly protected by his teacher, Huo Yuhao did not rush in recklessly. With his soul skill, Mental Interference Domain, he could achieve his goal without disturbing the border guards of Tianhun.

The Three Kingdoms are currently allied with Shrek Academy to eradicate evil spirit masters within their borders, creating a tense atmosphere. It's best to keep a low profile and avoid trouble if possible.

Poison-Free wouldn't say anything either. Although the Body Sect is the guardian sect of Heavenly Soul, he wouldn't mind dealing with some obstacles if necessary, so as not to affect his disciples' opportunities.

Yes, these guys blocking the way are Tianhun's border legion. Just like Xingluo guards the western border against Riyue, Tianhun has naturally deployed heavy troops in the west as well.

The journey was uneventful, except for wasting some time along the way and buying a map of Sunset Forest in a city. After a day of travel, we finally arrived at our destination, Sunset Forest.

Gu Yuena looked at this place, pursing her lips with a touch of emotion.

"When I came here last time, there were plenty of spirit beasts and resources. Now it has turned into this state, almost a dead zone."

It should be noted that although this forest could not compare with the Star Dou Great Forest in terms of resources and the variety of soul beasts, ten thousand years ago, ten thousand-year-old soul beasts were not uncommon, and its area was even larger than that of the Star Dou Great Forest.

Now, apart from a handful of ten-year-old poison-attribute soul beasts that occasionally appear, this place has almost become a dead end.

The outer areas were somewhat better, but as you went deeper, poisonous gases and miasma filled the area, making it beyond barren.

Da da da.
They walked deeper into the Sunset Forest for two whole hours without seeing any decent vegetation or spirit beasts. This was definitely not a result of nature, but rather the work of a powerful being.

It goes without saying who it is.

After a day's journey, the two stopped to rest. Huo Yuhao took out the prepared ingredients from the Starlight Ring and began to cook. Du Busi appeared at the right time, realizing that he could no longer live without his disciple's cooking skills.

What kind of rubbish did we eat back in the Body Sect?

"Watch what I do?"

Huo Yuhao noticed that Gu Yuena was staring at him, which made him feel a little uncomfortable.

“Yuhao, there might be divine intervention here. I’m not kidding. If we’re not confident, there’s no need for us to risk going any further.”

The sights and sounds along the way, along with the unease in her heart, reminded Gu Yuena of that god from ten thousand years ago. This place might be the contingency plan that god had laid out.

She was still uneasy because she wasn't sure if there was any divine intervention involved. If she were exposed to the divine realm now, she would definitely die.

However, looking at the figure beside her, she suddenly felt a little more at ease. It was dangerous, but with him there, there shouldn't be any problems.

"Don't worry, as I said, there won't be any problems here."

He handed over the grilled fish, saying, "Eat the grilled fish."

This one is still a bit naive. After all, after splitting off from the dragon god's divine essence and gaining its own consciousness, it existed in the form of a dragon egg for a long time. Its understanding of the human world and some information it knew were very limited, so it's normal that it couldn't hold back its words.

However, Huo Yuhao's nonchalant attitude appeared differently in Gu Yuena's eyes. She felt that Huo Yuhao had come to this dangerous place for her sake.

But why?
In the minds of soul beasts, survival of the fittest means everything, and they should do whatever it takes to survive. Is it really because of that word "friend," or because of their alliance with each other?
A different kind of emotion arose in her heart. It was strange, as if something was gradually reviving, completely different from her previous beliefs.

Du Bu Si glanced at his disciple, then at Gu Yue Na, before burying his head in his rice.

Well, that's the trouble with being handsome. Although Du Busi doesn't have much experience in relationships, he can tell that both Riyue, Jing Hongchen's granddaughter, and this disciple of Jing Hongchen seem to have different feelings for their own disciple.

That's great. When the time comes, our own disciples can lure them all to the Body Sect and poach them from the Sun and Moon Sect. It's perfect.

Mirror Red Dust, oh Mirror Red Dust, you're such a nice person.

As for the divine arrangement mentioned by his disciple and Gu Yuena, he kept it in mind. Perhaps this was the opportunity guided by fate that his disciple had mentioned before.

Gods? Such ethereal beings actually exist. It seems I underestimated my disciple. My disciple has the potential to become a god.

The Body Sect is going to have beings capable of becoming gods too!
Poison couldn't kill him, and he was thrilled. "Damn it, Shrek Academy, what gives you the right to act so arrogantly?!"
A single deity has allowed you bastards to be arrogant for ten thousand years. Just wait, my Body Sect will one day produce a deity that will crush you all and sweep you into the dustbin of history.
