The Peerless Tang Sect: Heavenly Heart Douluo

In the days following the conversation with the Four God Kings, Huo Yuhao had taken a large number of the Heavenly Apocalypse Empire's top combat forces away from Douluo Star and into the Plane of the Dead.

After Huo Yuhao obtained information about the Dragon Clan's magic sword from the Dragon God's memories, he began to instruct the remaining powerful figures of the Tianqi Empire to search for the Dragon Clan's magic sword while developing resources.

Divine objects conceal their power. Since the fall of the Dragon God, the Dragon Clan's magic sword has come to the Douluo Continent, hiding its power and falling into slumber for many years, just waiting for the appearance of a being with the power of the Dragon God.

Before this, the aura and power of the Dragon Clan's magic sword would be hidden, and its true power would not be awakened. Therefore, no one had ever discovered the existence of this super artifact over the years.

Moreover, as the long years have passed, although the essence of this super artifact remains, its original power has been gradually lost over time due to self-imposed confinement.

At this moment, Huo Yuhao had already fused Typhon, the hundred-headed dragon, with some of the Golden Dragon King's power, completing its internal structure. Now, Typhon's aura was enough to trigger the response of the Dragon Clan's magic sword.

Outside the Catholic Temple, in the square, a group of devout believers knelt in prayer, despite their absolute loyalty to Huo Yuhao.

However, their innate talent and comprehension limit their future achievements. Even with abundant resources, they find it extremely difficult to break through the level 90 barrier, let alone comprehend the power of laws afterward.

But that doesn't matter. A figure emerged from the Heavenly Lord's Hall. It was the Heavenly Lord himself; Huo Yuhao had arrived.

From Huo Yuhao's hands, streams of power, imbued with the aura of a true dragon yet seemingly elusive, drifted and touched the kneeling, praying believers.

This is the power aura that Typhon, the hundred-headed dragon, has differentiated. It can corrupt and corrupt any creatures it comes into contact with that are not strong enough or whose will is not firm enough, turning them into its own kind, into those twisted monsters who share the same talent as the hundred-headed dragon and are filled with vengeance.

These believers, empowered and connected by Huo Yuhao's power of faith, will undergo tremendous changes in appearance, but they will remain true to themselves and will not be swayed by the aura of the hundred-headed dragon Typhon.

Even though the process of transformation was extremely painful, these believers continued to pray loudly and praise their God. They could feel that with the arrival of pain, the power within them was gradually increasing.

The believers' skin was torn apart from the inside out, from which countless strange body tissues grew: fur, scales, claws, fangs, horns, snake hair, scorpion tails, and so on, creating a variety of distorted appearances.

The appearances of the demons transformed from the various believers are all different. This is because they are evolved according to their degree of adaptation to the power and aura of the hundred-headed dragon Typhon, as well as their own power, cultivation, and development direction.

"I bestow upon you the blood of the demon god, breaking the boundaries of mortals. You have broken free of your shackles and now possess the potential to reach the pinnacle. Go and do what I have not yet accomplished," Huo Yuhao said calmly.

Meanwhile, in the plaza, all the believers who were originally at level 70 or 80 had their strength boosted to around level 90.

Feeling the power seemingly flowing endlessly within my body.

He felt the realm that had blocked his path forward disappear.

The power of those laws felt as if they were right beside me, within reach.

These believers couldn't help but weep with joy. Immersed in Huo Yuhao's power of faith, they had forgotten their human identity, after all.

In the Apocalypse Empire, the definition of humanity has long been blurred in the fierce competition for power.

Rune modification, soul guide modification, soul beast modification, and a series of other measures are all aimed at becoming stronger and catching up with others.

In order to adapt to the rules set by Huo Yuhao, the God of Heaven, which are based solely on strength and combat power.

Only the strong are qualified to have a place in the Apocalypse Empire, regardless of their form or appearance. Only by maintaining devout faith and powerful strength can they be noticed by Huo Yuhao.

In this situation, only a few of the powerful figures within the Apocalypse Empire retained their human forms; most of them were of bizarre and grotesque appearance.

Although the changes brought about by receiving the blessing of the demon god's blood are quite significant, the effects are truly remarkable. Furthermore, given that it is a blessing personally bestowed by God, it's no wonder that these believers are so eager to receive it.

"Praise be to God! We will surely give our lives to fulfill Your requirements! Your will is our path!"

Kneeling in prayer, the devout believers expressed their praise for Huo Yuhao. At this moment, the psychic power they provided to Huo Yuhao became even more immense as their own strength increased.

Then Huo Yuhao's figure disappeared from the place, leaving only the sounds of praise and prayer echoing here.

This round of blessings was imbued with the aura of Typhon, the hundred-headed dragon, and more than a thousand people were elevated, making this the ninth batch already.

Even though a number of around 10,000 is still relatively small when spread across the Douluo Continent, Huo Yuhao still has plenty of time to wait for the results of their exploration.

With the aura of the hundred-headed dragon Typhon emanating from him, coupled with the thorough plundering by these level 90 experts, and the fact that there were no longer any forces or creatures on Douluo Star capable of threatening Huo Yuhao's existence as the Apocalypse Empire, he was now in a precarious position.

Even those 100,000-year-old soul beasts, and even the ferocious beasts in the ocean, had already been wiped out by the vanguard of the Apocalypse Empire.

If nothing unexpected happens, Huo Yuhao should be able to obtain information about the location of the Dragon Clan's magic sword within ten years.

And so, several years passed in the blink of an eye, and the powerful beings transformed from the aura of the hundred-headed dragon Typhon, on whom Huo Yuhao had placed high hopes, failed to fulfill their potential.

On the contrary, good news came from the Spirit Hall located in human settlements in various cities and villages.

That's because they discovered a young man with innate full soul power whose martial soul is in the form of a blade and has a strong suppressive effect on the dragon bloodline. Moreover, for some reason, he seems to insist that this martial soul should be called the Dragon Slayer Blade.

Although the current human cultivation system is no longer limited to martial spirits and soul power, the martial spirit awakening model is still retained.

This is because after a successful awakening, whether one uses the martial soul to enhance their cultivation or abandons the martial soul to purify themselves, combined with their innate soul power, they can lay a higher foundation for their future self.

Due to genetic influences, apart from god-level powerhouses, most humans and their descendants still retain a special existence called Martial Soul.

Moreover, with the rise of Douluo Star's energy level, the optimization of the Apocalypse Empire, and the popularization of cultivation techniques, the current innate full soul power is as inconspicuous as roadside weeds.

But the Dragon Slayer Blade? This martial soul is indeed worth Huo Yuhao's attention.

"The Dragon Clan's magic sword, the Dragon Slayer Sword, transformed into human form? I didn't expect it wouldn't make it in time. It must have been when it sensed the aura of the Dragon God that the Dragon Slayer Sword, which had sealed its power for hundreds of thousands of years, was activated, and then, like a soul beast undergoing rebirth, it transformed into human form."

Huo Yuhao quickly understood the cause and effect after circulating his spiritual power. This matter was also within his expectations, so he had already instructed his Spirit Hall to focus on awakening those who met the requirements at all levels of the Spirit Master awakening process.

At this moment, the boy was personally brought to the Temple of God by an angel with god-like strength.

Unlike ordinary soul masters or even teenagers, Huo Yuhao could sense that the other party had no faith in him, or even the slightest reverence.

However, this is quite normal, after all, the other party is not an ordinary person, but a super artifact in human form. If it weren't for the energy blockade of Douluo Star, the insufficient power supply, and the energy consumed during hundreds of thousands of years of slumber, the situation would be much better.

If he were to truly complete his transformation or breakthrough in the realm of gods, his strength would at least be at the level of a god.

"Alright, you may leave." Huo Yuhao said calmly, dismissing the Spirit Hall Master, the god-level angel, who had brought the boy with him.

Looking at Huo Yuhao in front of him, the boy trembled involuntarily as he felt the divine power emanating from Huo Yuhao. However, a sense of pride from somewhere made him insist on not kneeling down and prostrating himself in prayer. Instead, he looked at Huo Yuhao with a stubborn gaze.

Recalling his adoptive parents' fervent faith in God and the words they had instructed him before they came, along with the ideas they had instilled in him, the boy felt a sense of resentment and a faint disdain for some reason.

"Why should I respect him? Love him? I refuse to accept it!" For some reason, even when facing stronger beings than himself, such as angels and God, the boy never took them seriously. He always believed that he would be able to surpass them in the future.

How could his thoughts possibly escape Huo Yuhao's notice?

Even though its physical form is powerful, its origins lie in the Dragon Clan's magical sword, the Dragon Slayer Sword, which is considered a super artifact.

However, Huo Yuhao was now a true powerhouse with the strength of a first-level god, not to mention that he had given up most of his original power because of the Transformation Dragon Slayer Blade.

Even without taking human form, an unwieldy divine weapon could never cause any trouble in Huo Yuhao's hands.

The meaning emanating from the boy's undisguised spiritual power was as clear to Huo Yuhao as if he were speaking right in Huo Yuhao's ear.

The boy's pride did not actually come from himself, but from the Dragon Slayer Blade, from the innate arrogance contained in the bloodline of the Dragon God who created the Dragon Slayer Blade.

Looking at the unruly youth in the hall, Huo Yuhao didn't waste any more words with him, after all, he wasn't looking for the Dragon Slayer Blade to create a subordinate for himself.

The dark power of conviction enveloped the boy, giving him no chance to react or struggle.

All Huo Yuhao ever needed was the Dragon Slayer Blade itself, this ultimate artifact.

Under the threat of an external force, the energy contained within the boy's body erupted uncontrollably—the power of the super artifact, the Dragon Slayer Blade.

Unfortunately, Huo Yuhao's power cannot be restrained by the Dragon Slayer Blade, especially since he has analyzed and deconstructed the Dragon God's power after the fusion of the Golden Dragon King and the Silver Dragon King.

Faced with the backlash from the power of the Dragon Slayer Blade, Huo Yuhao merely adjusted the composition of his belief power to make it similar to the power of the Dragon God, which caused the power of the Dragon Slayer Blade to lose its direction.

Who am I? Where am I? Why am I fighting with the Dragon God?

Confusion permeated the sword spirit of the Dragon Slayer Sword, and also interfered with the will of the boy who was the sword's soul.

He stood there blankly, then was completely enveloped and covered by the power of belief, followed by the natural erosion and assimilation.

Once the dark power of conviction dissipated, the boy's figure had already vanished.

All that remained was a sword that emitted a seven-colored light, its entire body was dark red, but the blade had strange patterns that resembled severed dragons. It was a super artifact, the Dragon Slayer Sword, floating in mid-air.

However, at this moment, this super artifact was merely a facade. After hundreds of thousands of years of self-concealment, the power contained within it had been almost completely depleted by the long-term blockade of Douluo Star.

This is why his sword spirit, after taking human form, only possessed level 10 innate full soul power.

To truly restore it to its former glory, the amount of energy required is by no means small.

However, this was exactly what Huo Yuhao wanted. This process of investing energy was a good opportunity for him to completely master this dragon-type magic sword.

Moreover, although this super artifact, the Dragon Slayer Blade, is not suitable for the path Huo Yuhao is taking, he can simulate the composition of the Dragon God's power through the power of his belief. With the help of this Dragon Slayer Blade, he has already gained the ability to fight against God-King level powerhouses who possess primordial super artifacts.

The Temple of Heaven fell silent once more, and Huo Yuhao and the Dragon-Slaying Blade vanished from the scene.

However, within the Apocalypse Empire, strangely shaped mechs and fortresses, seemingly composed of flesh and blood, rune arrays, mechanical structures, and soul-guided cores, are being continuously manufactured.

Then, through a tight arrangement and combination, it transformed into a huge space fortress.

These were all preparations Huo Yuhao made for invading the Longma Galaxy.

Although the technology required to achieve space travel is something that the current Douluo Star people cannot access.

However, when in doubt, the Douluo Star people have a more suitable method than quantum mechanics: all sorts of strange and wonderful magic, runes, and soul tools.

With the help of the deity Huo Yuhao, they could achieve space travel under these circumstances.

Huo Yuhao had already learned the coordinates of the Dragon Horse Galaxy from the memories of the Abyss Saint King. Now that he had this condition, Huo Yuhao naturally did not need to spend any more effort to open up a spatial passage.

It should be noted that there are also god-level powerhouses in the Dragon Horse Galaxy. Forcibly opening a space channel to invade them would likely only provoke a greater reaction from them.

If they were to merely probe him using typical interstellar warfare tactics, it would still buy Huo Yuhao ample opportunities to operate covertly. (End of Chapter)
