Douluo Continent: The Eye of Truth

Chapter 86 Fusion of Soul Bones

Before leading the team away from the sect, Du Busi protected Huo Yuhao and helped him absorb the 100,000-year-old Evil Eye Tyrant's head soul bone.

Although Du Bu Si is not a Super Douluo with a spiritual attribute, his possession of his own martial soul and his mastery of the unity of heaven and man are more than enough to help Huo Yuhao suppress the remaining power of the Evil Eye Tyrant in this soul bone.

Moreover, apart from him, there was indeed no one else in the sect who could protect Huo Yuhao while he absorbed this soul bone.

After all, unlike ordinary 100,000-year soul bones, the spiritual power attached to the Evil Eye Tyrant Skull is something that even a super Douluo like the Golden Body Douluo Jinpeng would find difficult to deal with, let alone protect others to absorb.

What Du Bu Si didn't know was that, in addition to his protection, the presence of Tianmeng Ice Silkworm and Ilex in Huo Yuhao's spiritual sea ensured that Huo Yuhao's absorption of the Evil Eye Tyrant Soul Bone would not fail in any way.

Huo Yuhao's spiritual power and soul power drew the silver-white soul bone in front of him into contact. Its form gradually became ethereal and then slowly merged into Huo Yuhao's head.

Immediately afterwards, Huo Yuhao's soul power, blood energy, and even mental power all began to circulate at high speed to resist the impact from this 100,000-year-old soul bone.

Although a 100,000-year-old soul bone is a rare treasure, the immense power it contains is not something that just anyone is qualified to attempt to fuse with and refine.

As the soul bone fused with his body, Huo Yuhao's entire body—his bones, flesh, and even his spirit—was constantly being cleansed by the power contained within it.

As the crystallization of soul beast energy, the energy contained in soul bones is much greater than that in soul rings, and is also much more difficult to absorb.

However, the power within a soul bone is more stable, so even a soul master with a lower cultivation level can absorb it if their foundation is strong enough.

Under the pressure of the external force, Huo Yuhao's vertical pupil between his eyebrows opened again, and rich life energy flowed out from it, cleansing Huo Yuhao's body that had been damaged by the energy purging.

At the same time, the golden Eye of Truth appeared behind Huo Yuhao, accompanied by the guidance of the forces of destiny in the dark.

Guided by the power of destiny, Huo Yuhao's process of absorbing soul bones, though extremely low in probability, was completely free of any deviations or accidents.

Seeing this, Du Busi couldn't help but click his tongue and sigh at the rich life force emanating from Huo Yuhao, saying, "This kid is really lucky."

"I don't know where he got this incredible stroke of luck, but he actually possesses such a massive amount of life energy. No wonder his body can withstand the immense strain of a second Gold-level awakening."

However, Du Busi had no intention of digging into the matter; where Huo Yuhao's fortuitous encounter came from was completely unimportant to him.

The important thing is that the better Huo Yuhao performs now, the greater the possibility that the Body Sect will stand at the pinnacle of the Soul Master world in the future, which is enough to make him excited.

After all, he is not young anymore, and has long passed the age of being self-assured that he is no less capable than his predecessors and wanting to create his own era.

It would be better to place our hopes on future generations and witness the sect's growth and prosperity; that would make our lives worthwhile.

At this time, Huo Yuhao was still in the process of fusing with the skull of the Evil Eye Tyrant. However, his body was damaged due to the impact of a large amount of energy, but was subsequently restored by the healing power of life force.

When fusing with the skull of the 100,000-year-old Evil Eye Tyrant, the most dangerous thing is actually the spiritual power contained in the skull, which erodes the spiritual sea of ​​the fusing person.

If an ordinary Soul Master's spiritual power cultivation level is not strong enough, or their spiritual power is not solid enough, they might even be turned into an idiot by the enormous spiritual power contained in the skull of the 100,000-year-old Evil Eye Tyrant.

It should be noted that the Evil Eye Tyrant, a being with pure spiritual attributes at the level of 100,000 years, had spiritual power cultivation that had even reached a tangible and substantial level. Even after his death, his soul bones and spiritual essence crystals separated.

However, the quality of the spiritual power contained within it was still extremely high. It entered Huo Yuhao's spiritual sea with the silver light, but it could not shake Huo Yuhao's spiritual sea in any way.

This is because, within Huo Yuhao's spiritual sea, the enormous eye manifested by the Eye of Truth, which originally hung high above the spiritual sea like the sun, is now constantly absorbing this external spiritual power.

Meanwhile, Huo Yuhao's spiritual sea was also expanding continuously in this process. Tianmeng Ice Silkworm was both surprised and delighted, because he discovered that although Huo Yuhao's cultivation level was not high at present.

However, he was already able to withstand a portion of his immense spiritual power, but he couldn't help but feel a little worried about Huo Yuhao's rapid progress.

After all, Huo Yuhao's rapid progress in mental strength might actually put a strain on his body due to the immense mental power he possesses.

"Don't worry, big bug," Electrox's aged voice rang out.

"After Yuhao's body has fused with this so-called soul bone, its ability to bear spiritual power has greatly increased. In addition, with the continuous life force provided by the life gold, nothing unexpected will happen."

At the same time, Huo Yuhao also appeared in the Sea of ​​Spirit in spiritual form, and began to try to control the huge eye in the sky of the Sea of ​​Spirit to integrate a part of the spiritual origin unlocked by the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm with the spiritual power originating from the skull of the Evil Eye Tyrant.

As his spiritual sea continued to expand, Huo Yuhao could feel that his spiritual power cultivation, which originally required the activation of the Gold-level Second Awakening to be fully utilized, could now finally be used freely.

At the same time, with the improvement of mental strength, the abilities that originally required the second awakening of a gold-level martial soul can be gradually controlled and transformed into the normal means of the martial soul.

Moreover, aside from the initial effects of the immense energy contained within the soul bone on his body during the initial fusion phase, Huo Yuhao unexpectedly did not experience much pain in the subsequent process.

An hour later, Huo Yuhao finally opened his eyes. A flash of silvery-white light passed through his eyes, and at the same time, the vertical pupil between his eyebrows closed.

"Hahaha, I didn't expect you to be able to fuse so smoothly. But as expected of a second awakening of a gold-level main body martial soul, it should be like this, just as it should be."

Poison Immortal patted Huo Yuhao on the shoulder with great pleasure: "Now I can rest assured. I will be leaving the sect for a while. If there is anything you don't understand, please ask Elder Jinpeng for guidance."

"If Elder Jinpeng has any questions he cannot answer, wait until I return and then come to me. I will answer them for you one by one. Do not be impatient for quick success."

"If your soul power cultivation reaches a bottleneck, you can also ask Elder Jinpeng to bring the soul beasts you need back to the sect to absorb their soul rings."

"As for you, don't leave the sect rashly. Let's talk about everything after I return."

"Yes, Master," Huo Yuhao replied, naturally understanding Du Busi's worries.

Moreover, since Poison Undying has personally left the sect, it's likely that the Body Sect is about to make another big move.

The Douluo Continent is likely to be engulfed in another bloody storm. It would be best not to go out and cause trouble before you are strong enough.

Moreover, along with absorbing this 100,000-year-old soul bone, although most of what it contained was spiritual power.

However, Huo Yuhao could also feel that his soul power had increased significantly, and it had now reached level thirty-six.

In another two or three months, Huo Yuhao's cultivation level should be able to break through to level 40.

Subsequently, Du Busi led his team away from the Body Sect in a flurry of activity, and Huo Yuhao finally had time to carefully study the abilities that the head soul bone from the 100,000-year-old Evil Eye Tyrant had brought him.

Like soul rings, 100,000-year-old soul bones can also grant their owners two soul bone skills derived from soul beasts.

Huo Yuhao's skull contained soul bone skills obtained from the 100,000-year-old Evil Eye Tyrant, namely Soul Devouring and Spiritual Projection.

Although these two soul skills do not possess the most powerful innate soul skill, Mental Gaze, of the Evil Eye Tyrant, Huo Yuhao was still quite satisfied to have obtained these two soul bone skills that he had never recorded before, compared to the Evil Eye Gaze, which is an upgraded version of Soul Impact.

Having already experienced the Soul Impact, he only needs to rebuild and upgrade on this basis to ultimately be no less powerful than the Evil Eye Gaze.

As a feeding method of the Evil Eye Tyrant, it can devour the souls and spiritual power of enemies, transforming them into pure spiritual power. Soul devouring can help Huo Yuhao quickly integrate with the spiritual origin of the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm.

Mental projection, on the other hand, allows one to materialize their mental energy outside the body, thereby creating a combat environment similar to a physical domain.

In this combat environment, the caster's mental power will be amplified, while the enemy's mental power will be suppressed. Furthermore, it can be integrated with other types of domains without causing repulsion.

It can be considered a more powerful soul skill than ordinary domain-type skills.

However, because this 100,000-year-old soul bone is of a high level, Huo Yuhao is currently unable to modify it.

However, by using the model structure obtained from analyzing these two soul bone skills, even without using these two soul bone skills that consume a lot of soul power and mental energy.

Huo Yuhao can also use similar techniques, but with lower energy consumption and a level that matches his own.

Moreover, based on the mental projection, Huo Yuhao can now directly project the structural model formed in his mental sea to the outside world.

In other words, Huo Yuhao no longer needed to prepare on the spot during the battle to be able to unleash those innovative but not yet fixed soul power circulation techniques.

As long as Huo Yuhao has tested the Soul Power Circuit Technique in advance and it works properly, he can use his mental projection to recall the recorded Soul Power Circuit from his memory and release it at any time.

Release speed and efficiency have been improved once again.

"But that's not enough. We still need to practice the combination and actual combat effects in real battles. It would be best to also try to see if we can build up the complete main body martial soul through the third soul skill."

With that thought in mind, Huo Yuhao immediately left the cultivation room and headed to the martial arts arena in the Body Sect, which was used by the disciples to exchange combat skills and compete.

This battle lasted for three months, and these three months were also the most agonizing three months for the disciples of the Body Sect.

They had completely given up on fighting Huo Yuhao, an opponent from whom they saw no glimmer of hope for victory.

However, their teachers and elders forced them to go on stage in order to spar with Huo Yuhao, and they were not allowed to give up or admit defeat, otherwise they would receive a "love education".

Over the course of three months, each of the ordinary disciples of the Body Sect had been defeated by Huo Yuhao at least ten times. Although they were able to make some breakthroughs in the face of Huo Yuhao's dazzling attacks, which were like a rain of flowers, each time they faced a crisis.

However, their breakthrough speed was not even as fast as Huo Yuhao's innovation speed. It could be said that each defeat was more miserable than the last. This made them acknowledge that although this senior brother Huo had not been a disciple for long, he was already above everyone else as the young sect master.

Below the arena, the deacons and elders of the Body Sect would often come to watch the battle.

"Is this another new move by the young sect leader?"

"That's right, I haven't seen this before."

"No, no, this move has been used before. It should have been the last move the young sect leader used in the last match. But this move wasn't like this before. It must be that the young sect leader has improved it again."

"Sigh, it's really true that comparisons are the thief of joy. The young sect leader's methods in combat techniques are truly unfathomable. It takes us at least a year to cultivate a combat technique, and it's even more difficult to perfect it. How long has it taken the young sect leader?"

As Huo Yuhao finished his attack, the disciple could finally lie down and rest. However, under Huo Yuhao's relentless onslaught, he also realized the flaws in his combat skills. After returning and making corrections, he should be able to improve even further.

However, compared to the Body Sect disciples who gained insights simply by fighting Huo Yuhao, Huo Yuhao himself secretly shook his head.

Because the intensity of the battles is no longer sufficient, Huo Yuhao has almost reached a perfect level in the construction and combination of soul skills at the level of the third ring and below. He can always unleash the most perfect soul skill combination at any time.

However, the soul power circulation techniques beyond this are beyond the capacity of these Body Sect disciples.

Even though their physical strength is considerable due to their original martial souls, the soul power circulation that Huo Yuhao has constructed is becoming increasingly perfect, and its destructive power is incomparable to the soul skills of soul masters of the same level.

"Although my progress in soul skills has stalled somewhat these past few days, my understanding of my original martial soul has reached a critical point. Perhaps I can try to combine them to create my true original martial soul and then construct it using my third soul skill."

Huo Yuhao casually set up several soul power circuits focused on healing and recovery, helping the disciple under his control, who was not seriously injured, to recover to about 70-80% before leaving the arena.
