Peerless: Tang San, this time Huo Yuhao is the attacker.

Chapter 86 Wang Dong: I've Become a Substitute?

If Huo Yuhao could only sense the presence of the ferocious aura within the Soul Devouring Carving Blade just now, he is now deeply experiencing the power of that aura.

The Soul-Devouring Carving Blade devoured his spiritual power like a black hole, while also emitting an extremely cold aura that entered his spiritual sea through the spiritual probe.

A sharp pain in his brain and blurred vision were Huo Yuhao's most immediate sensations.

However, the next second, Huo Yuhao's pale golden eyes suddenly shone with a bright green light, which was incredibly dazzling.

Along with it, a surge of spiritual power, a hundred times more ferocious than the Soul-Devouring Carving Blade, erupted forth.

The target of this spiritual force was very clear: the Soul-Devouring Carving Knife in the box.

As Hyotei's spiritual power slammed down, the fierce aura in his spiritual sea instantly vanished, and a faint wail could be heard emanating from within the Soul-Devouring Carving Blade.

"What is it?" Hyotei's cold voice rang out in his mind's sea, accompanied by another aged voice.

"It's actually the Gold of Life! I never expected to encounter the Gold of Life here. It seems that my wisp of divine consciousness can finally be stabilized."

"Hyotei, it's been a long time. Mr. Ichiro, it's been a long time since you've shown up either."

Huo Yuhao closed his eyes, conjured a physical form in his mind's eye, and greeted the person and the ball of light in front of him.

"Hmm." Hyotei nodded in response, glanced at the gray ball of light not far away, and asked Huo Yuhao again, "What was that aura just now?"

"I'm not entirely sure either. It was just discovered. It's probably a treasure, but something strange seems to be entangled inside."

I heard it was some kind of curse, but based on my observation, it seems to be the residual spiritual energy of a powerful being.

I figured with Hyotei in my mental sea, dealing with this shouldn't be a problem, so I made contact directly with my mental power.

Huo Yuhao told a harmless little lie, and Bingdi nodded knowingly, then focused her gaze on the gray ball of light. "You seem to recognize this thing?"

"Elder Yi, what is this 'Gold of Life' you just mentioned? Is it the name of this carving knife?"

Faced with Huo Yuhao and Bingdi's questions, Electrolux did not keep them in suspense and patiently explained: "That's right, I do recognize it. This thing is called the Gold of Life, which is formed by pure life force over hundreds of thousands or even millions of years."

Its birth requires a place with extremely concentrated and abundant life force, transforming from a ethereal gaseous state to a flowing liquid state, and finally settling into this solid state.

Hyotei frowned. "Since you say it is formed from pure life force, it should have vigorous life force."

But I didn't sense a trace of life force from that thing; instead, its sinister aura was very obvious.

"Little Scorpion, what you sensed was the residual spiritual energy that Yuhao mentioned earlier."

That lingering evil thought had persisted for too long, seeping into the interior of the living metal and obscuring its original aura.

Once I purify this evil thought, you will naturally be able to feel the pure fluctuations of life force.

Hyotei remained silent, which was a reluctant acceptance of the explanation.

Electrolux looked at Huo Yuhao. Although it was just a gray ball of light, he felt like he was being stared at.

"Yuhao, I need to briefly control your body now, so don't resist."

This piece of living gold is the largest I've ever seen. It can not only stabilize my consciousness, but also cause an astonishing transformation in your body.

"Elder Yi, you may begin." Huo Yuhao gestured to Electrolux that he could start.

Outside, Huo Yuhao opened his eyes. His eyes were neither pale gold nor emerald green, but a deathly gray.

A soft white light shone from his fingertips. With a flick of his finger, a beam of pure white light shot towards the Soul-Devouring Carving Knife in the box.

"Purify the evil and filth."

The moment the white light touched the surface of the Soul-Devouring Carving Blade, it emitted a sizzling sound like hot oil in a pan.

Visibly, the black color on the surface of the Soul-Devouring Carving Blade gradually faded, revealing wisps of emerald green.

"This feeling is so sacred." Hyotei frowned slightly, her emerald green scorpion tail swaying gently from side to side behind her, her delicate face full of confusion.

Hyotei was certain she wasn't mistaken; the attribute of that beam of white light was indeed divine, which left her quite puzzled.

The deathly stillness she sensed from Electrolux shouldn't be associated with holiness at all.

Electrolux did not continue to act, and Hyotei could only focus all its attention on the Soul-Devouring Carving Blade, which was emitting wisps of black smoke.

This time, Huo Yuhao could clearly hear the wailing sounds coming from inside the Soul Devouring Carving Blade.

The black air currents continuously drawn from the carving knife swirled and intertwined in the air, eventually transforming into a hideous and terrifying human face.

The human face contorted as it emitted mournful howls, which grew fainter and fainter under the white light.

Once everything was completely calm, the carving knife, which was originally dark green, had turned into a clear, crystal-like emerald green, with no impurities visible inside.

The confusion on Hyotei's face was gradually replaced by shock.

No wonder, after the remaining evil thoughts were purified, she indeed felt the surging life force within, just as Electrolux had said.

It was a feeling she couldn't describe, a vast vitality that seemed endless.

Faced with this immense vitality, Hyotei felt as insignificant as a snowflake in the far north, so unremarkable, and felt a fear that it could be swallowed up at any moment.

A burning desire flashed in Hyotei's eyes. If she could possess this vitality, she would dare to gamble on not only the 400,000-year Heavenly Tribulation, but even the 1 million-year Heavenly Tribulation.

"I never imagined I would be so weak that I could not even withstand such exertion."

Yuhao, next, press the Gold of Life firmly between your eyebrows, and I will cast a spell to integrate it into your spiritual sea.

At that time, my consciousness will be completely stabilized, and your body will undergo earth-shattering changes.

Electrolux's weary voice rang out, and Huo Yuhao didn't immediately comply. Instead, he asked, "Elder Electrolux, how long will the fusion take?"

"It could take three to five hours at the fastest, or eight to nine hours at the slowest," Electrolux replied slowly after a moment of silence.

Are there any environmental requirements?

"You don't need to worry about that. I will control the fusion process. You don't need to be concerned about it or the external situation. As long as your body is not attacked during the process, it's fine."

"I understand, Elder Yi."

Huo Yuhao walked out of the room. The purification process took very little time; Wang Dong and the others were still eating.

Seeing Huo Yuhao return, Wang Dong asked in surprise, "Why did you come out?"

"I need to speak with Sister Luo Chen about something; could you protect me?"

"Oh, the Dharma Protector." Wang Dong nodded, indicating that he understood.

When Huo Yuhao knocked on the door of Ling Luochen's bedroom, Wang Dong's body trembled.

Wait, Dharma Protector?
