Douluo Continent: The Eye of Truth

Chapter 174 A Crazy World

Huo Yuhao's somewhat slender hands were imprinted on the massive trunk of the golden ancient tree.

That which originates from the power of the sea god's faith is what Shrek Academy calls the Light of the Sea God.

It was also Shrek Academy's last trump card with Tang Hao, but it had already been completely devoured by Huo Yuhao.

As mentioned before, in front of Huo Yuhao, these beings are composed of ordinary matter and energy.

Even if it originates from a deity, it is still subject to human control.

For Huo Yuhao, it was nothing more than a delicious dish.

Looking at the nine-colored lightning that was beginning to dissipate not far away, and Tang Hao who had been buried by the lightning.

Huo Yuhao sighed inwardly.

After all, he was quite envious of Tang Hao's divine power and bloodline.

Moreover, Tang Hao also possesses a portion of the original power of Douluo Star.

If we could drag it into the undead plane and then absorb and consume it through the undead plane...

The primordial power from a more perfect plane, coupled with the legacy of a deity, is a great tonic for the plane of the dead.

However, now that he is cooperating with Gu Yuena, he has already consumed Ah Yin, who is the core of his life.

Of course, it's impossible that Gu Yuena wouldn't even get a sip of soup.

Moreover, for Gu Yuena...

She simply stripped the power and energy that rightfully belonged to Douluo Star from Tang Hao's body and returned them to him.

He realized that the alien energy within the Golden Ancient Tree had been completely absorbed by him.

Huo Yuhao patted the diaper, which had regained its self-awareness.

Although still very weak, the golden ancient tree already possesses the ability to distinguish right from wrong and has a kind of intelligence.

It seemed as if they were comforting the trembling other person, or perhaps expressing their limited goodwill.

Huo Yuhao then did not attempt to negotiate with the Golden Ancient Tree.

Instead, it directly controlled the spatial energy to bring out the girl who was surrounded and enveloped by the roots of the golden tree.

At this moment, Wang Dong'er had recovered her previously damaged body and soul under the nourishment of the Golden Ancient Tree's power.

It was just the aftershocks caused by Gu Yuena's battle with Tang Hao.

Although she was safe and sound under the protection of the golden tree, she still inevitably fell into a coma.

Even though she was unconscious, Wang Dong'er still had a furrowed brow and tears welling up in her eyes.

Huo Yuhao sighed inwardly. Although he had taken the initiative to guide her before for some reason.

However, the feelings between him and Wang Dong'er were much deeper than those between most people.

If he had to put it into words, in his heart, Wang Dong'er's status was probably about the same as that of Du Busi.

They were among the few people in Douluo Star whom he could truly care about.

The moment he came into contact with Wang Dong'er, he relied on his powerful mental strength and the Eye of Truth.

He then learned what had happened to Wang Dong'er and what Tang San had done by using Wang Dong'er.

"You should get some rest first."

Huo Yuhao first placed a protective spell on Wang Dong'er, and then transferred her to the undead plane.

At this moment, Gu Yuena had also been teleported over using spatial means.

Seeing the girl disappear from Huo Yuhao's grasp, Gu Yuena narrowed her purple eyes and said calmly.

"That girl seems to possess the divine power of the Asura God?"

Huo Yuhao nodded noncommittally.

"She's a pitiful person too. Perhaps she can become an asset to us when we fight against the divine realm later."

Gu Yuena did not pursue the matter further.

Instead, he told Huo Yuhao what he had just learned about the Dragon Tomb and the other world through the authority of the plane's ruler.

"It can be considered an exchange of resources, but I need to go back and recuperate for a while to get used to the power I've regained."

Looking at Huo Yuhao, Gu Yuena slowly said, "During this time, I hope you can handle the internal affairs of humanity well."

"Once I have fully mastered my current power, it will be time to set off for the Dragon Tomb. I hope you won't fall behind then."

Huo Yuhao could naturally tell that Gu Yuena was probably hiding some other ulterior motives, but he did not expose them at this time.

After all, the two are only in a cooperative relationship now, and the more they cooperate, the more likely they are to be wary of each other.

However, for Huo Yuhao, who knew the original plot, even though Gu Yuena did not reveal it directly, he could roughly guess some things.

Seeing Huo Yuhao's calm expression, seemingly without any suspicion, Gu Yuena didn't say anything more.

They could simply keep their thoughts to themselves; if one of them had something to hide, how could Huo Yuhao have nothing to hide?

As for Gu Yuena, although she has now recovered some of her divine power.

However, compared to those veteran god-kings, her current combat power is still far inferior.

Even with the support of the laws of the Douluo Star plane, if a God King were to descend to the mortal realm, she would still find it difficult to defeat him.

Therefore, she now needs to replenish her combat power, and the source of this replenishment is the Dragon Clan's magic sword, the Dragon Slayer Sword, which comes from the Dragon God's true form.

Regardless of the unique effects of the Dragon Slayer Blade itself, this dragon-type magic blade was transformed from the dragon horn of the Dragon God's true form.

For Gu Yuena now, if she could find it...

If you refine it into primordial energy, you can regain some of the former dragon god's appearance.

With the help of the power of the sovereign authority of the plane, the Dragon Slayer Blade, which exists on the Douluo Continent, is a divine object that conceals its true nature.

However, it could not escape the perception of Gu Yuena, who was half of the Dragon God, and the so-called adaptation power was nothing but empty talk.

After all, for the Silver Dragon King, who once possessed god-king level strength.

Why would a mere second-level deity need to readjust their power?

However, Huo Yuhao saw through it but didn't say anything, and didn't raise any other objections.

After all, he needs some time to sort out what he has gained so far.

Moreover, as Gu Yuena said, the war between the four great empires is now escalating.

Or perhaps it's more accurate to say that the offensive by the Sun and Moon Empire is becoming increasingly terrifying.

Even with the Heavenly Soul Empire guarded by Poison Undying, a Limit Douluo.

However, nowadays, two top-tier experts from the Holy Spirit Cult are making moves.

The previously stable situation is unlikely to last long, so Huo Yuhao now needs to start preparing to close the net.

"The Sun and Moon Cannon... I never imagined it would actually lead the Sun and Moon Empire to develop a level ten soul tool."

Huo Yuhao looked at the faint silver light left behind by the vanished Gu Yuena, his thoughts already shifting to the Sun Moon Empire.

With his current experience and calculation abilities, he can naturally deduce the number of soul core arrays required for a level 10 soul tool.

And the maximum power that a level 10 soul tool can truly unleash after it is fully formed is something the Sun Moon Empire probably hadn't really been serious about before.

In other words, the consumption of a level 10 soul tool is such that unless it is used by a god-level expert, it is difficult to go all out every time.

"Forcibly wielding a soul tool beyond one's own cultivation level, that old bastard Kong Deming will probably pay a heavy price."

"However, with a few modifications, it could be used."

"But before that, let's first integrate the three kingdoms that originally belonged to Douluo Continent."

Huo Yuhao's figure disappeared from the spot immediately and appeared in the imperial palace of the Star Luo Empire the next moment.

For Huo Yuhao now, his understanding of spatial levels is far more profound than that of ordinary powerhouses.

At least on Douluo Star, spatial distance is no longer meaningful to Huo Yuhao.

He can appear anywhere on Douluo Star at any time, without any hindrance, whenever he wants.

"Who goes there?!" A slightly weary voice came from the figure sitting on the dragon throne.

It was just different from when they met before at the All-Continent Advanced Soul Master Academy Battle Tournament.

The current Emperor of Xingluo looks extremely haggard, a far cry from his former high spirits.

The Star Luo Empire's imperial palace, which should have been filled with attendants and guards, was now extremely deserted.

At this moment, only His Majesty remained here.

Upon seeing the person's face clearly, Xu Jiawei couldn't help but tremble.

"Are you Huo Yuhao, the young sect master of the Body Sect?"

With the Star Luo Empire's intelligence network, it's no surprise that they are aware of the members of the Body Sect, who are now renowned throughout the continent.

As the second most important figure in the Body Sect, or rather, someone who is highly valued even if the poison doesn't kill him.

Huo Yuhao's existence, appearance, and even his little-known background have all been dug up by people who are interested in him.

After all, Huo Yuhao had never thought of concealing his identity or origin since joining the Body Sect.

Regardless of his past as a disciple of Shrek Academy.

Representing Shrek Academy as a reserve team in the Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Battle Tournament.

Even before he entered Shrek Academy...

Many people already know that he was once the illegitimate son of Duke Dai Hao of the White Tiger.

After all, the Body Sect never felt that Huo Yuhao's background was anything to hide.

They maintained good relations with the White Tiger Duke's Mansion as depicted in the original story, and this was done to save face for both sides.

Furthermore, Shrek Academy, which helped cover for them in order to maintain the original story, is different.

Neither the Body Sect nor Huo Yuhao himself has an indifferent attitude towards this.

Huo Yuhao nodded slightly and said calmly, "Long time no see, Your Majesty the Star Luo Emperor. How have you been?"

Upon hearing this, Xu Jiawei could only give a wry smile. At this moment, his hair was streaked with many gray strands.

For a powerful individual who already possesses the strength of a Title Douluo, this is clearly abnormal.

After all, let alone being in his prime, Xu Jiawei could even be considered a teenager among the titled Douluo.

Even though he possessed the strength of a Title Douluo, Xu Jiawei couldn't see through the cultivation level of the young man in front of him.

And how the other party appeared in his palace.

They didn't even know why the Star Luo Empire's guards outside hadn't noticed.

This eliminates the impossible assumption that Huo Yuhao was an ordinary person who died without any soul power or breath.

So even if it was impossible, Xu Jiawei had to admit it.

"Young Master Huo is truly a young hero, possessing cultivation at a level above Super Douluo at such a young age."

Even among titled Douluo, Xu Jiawei's cultivation level cannot be considered profound.

However, he could still vaguely sense the level of soul power of Title Douluos below the Super Douluo level.

In Xu Jiawei's eyes, being able to completely ignore one's own perceptions is...

Huo Yuhao's cultivation level could only be above that of a Super Douluo.

Huo Yuhao did not offer any explanation for this unfounded speculation.

Huo Yuhao then went straight to the point, saying, "I'm not here to beat around the bush with His Majesty."

"The Star Luo Empire is now at its last gasp and its defeat is inevitable. If it is willing to merge with the Heavenly Soul Empire..."

"At that time, with the strength of my Body Sect, it will not be difficult to resist the Sun Moon Empire."

Upon hearing this, Xu Jiawei frowned slightly. He had assumed that Huo Yuhao had come to discuss the alliance.

But I never expected him to make such an outrageous demand.

Even being a deposed ruler is better for him than leaving behind the reputation of traitors.

His expression turned cold, and the Star Crown Martial Soul appeared above his head.

As starlight shone down, nine spirit rings of different colors moved around him.

The emperor of the Star Luo Empire, supported by this figure, appeared incredibly majestic and noble, looking down at Huo Yuhao with an air of superiority.

"Huo Yuhao, I originally regarded you as an honored guest because you are the young sect master of the Body Sect."

"Even though you trespassed into the palace of my Star Luo Empire, I did not pursue the matter."

"Now that you're spouting such arrogant words, do you truly intend to incite war between your Body Sect, and even the Heavenly Soul Empire, and my Star Luo Empire?"

As Xu Jiawei's martial spirit aura rose, the titled elders who were originally guarding outside the palace were also alerted.

They all entered the main hall, looking in surprise at the figures that had appeared out of nowhere.

Huo Yuhao was currently confronting his emperor, and his momentum was in no way inferior.

Surrounded by several titled experts, Huo Yuhao remained calm and composed.

"This is not a discussion, but a notification, though I'm afraid His Majesty is unaware of it yet."

"Shrek Academy, which you regard as your greatest asset."

"Now, its Seagod Island, Seagod Lake, and those two 'Limit Douluo' of the Clear Sky Sect have all been reduced to ashes."

"This news will probably take some time to spread from Shrek City."

"I hope Your Majesty will reconsider at that time. I still need to go to the Douling Empire to inform them."

Huo Yuhao then left behind his final words: "Three days from now, I will await His Majesty's reply in Heaven Dou City."

Before the titled elders could make a move, Huo Yuhao's figure disappeared from the hall once again.

The few titled retainers were left staring at Xu Jiawei in bewilderment.

Only now did they realize that they couldn't even track how Huo Yuhao appeared or left.

The difference in strength between her and Huo Yuhao is probably not as simple as the difference between an ordinary titled Douluo and a Super Douluo.

"Could this spatial manipulation technique be from a Limit Douluo?!"

Shattered Star Douluo said in disbelief.

Keep in mind that he is a level 95 Super Douluo.

In addition, the innate advantages of martial souls give them a unique perception of spatial power.

Even so, he still couldn't figure out how Huo Yuhao arrived or left.

"Heh, are you going to say he's a seventeen-year-old Limit Douluo?"

Xu Jiawei slumped on the dragon throne and smiled bitterly.

A level 10 soul tool? A seventeen-year-old Limit Douluo?

This world is so different from what he had previously known.
