The Peerless Tang Sect: Heavenly Heart Douluo

By this time, the construction of the space fortress was nearing completion, and most of the residents and warriors of the Apocalypse Empire had moved into the space fortress.

This massive and cumbersome all-metal building, if viewed through the lens of modern physics from Huo Yuhao's previous life...

In any case, there was no possibility of it flying; at best, it was a spectacle created by a tyrant to showcase his achievements.

However, these physical parameters from the previous life are no longer so important in this world with magic and supernatural powers.

Under the influence of anti-gravity magic, this entire massive and cumbersome space fortress gradually lifted off the ground at an extremely slow but steady pace.

Meanwhile, the energy-gathering arrays that are spread across the outer layer of the space fortress continuously absorb the elements and spiritual energy of heaven and earth floating in the air of Douluo Star during this process to replenish their own energy losses.

It was then converted into the spaceship's kinetic energy, and with the activation of anti-gravity magic, the entire space fortress slowly rose into the air through the combined action of kinetic energy and anti-gravity magic.

At this very moment, within the various central nodes of the space fortress, those powerful individuals who had reached around level ninety were maximizing their mental strength and energy to control this massive fortress, aided by the enhancements provided by their Soul Guidance Mechs, Soul Guidance Armor, and Bio-engineered Armor.

To ensure that no accidents occur during the control process, Huo Yuhao naturally has to keep a close watch on it at all times.

At the very center of the space fortress was a massive construct composed of various undead creatures. Within this construct, composed of tireless, powerful, and emotionless undead creatures, was a wisp of Huo Yuhao's spiritual power.

Then, with the assistance of the construct, Huo Yuhao used this spiritual power as the core to integrate and rationally allocate the spiritual power and energy contributed by the various powerful beings that constituted this huge space fortress, thereby maintaining the stability of the space fortress.

Although the transmission occurred through multiple points, and even though Huo Yuhao's mental power covered an extremely fast speed and a wide range, this still caused a certain delay in the space fortress's ability to complete each of Huo Yuhao's commands.

While this would expose the space fortress's fatal weakness in battles against powerful opponents, the space fortress was not originally intended to face those top-tier powerhouses.

The fortress's outer shell, made of an automatically triggered soul power shield and a special spiritual metal alloy, is sufficient to resist the effects of most cosmic radiation and meteorites on the space fortress.

Even if a god-level expert of around level 100 attacked, it would be difficult to break through this solid defense in a short time. If this war fortress were to be destroyed head-on, at least a level one god-level expert would be needed to fight.

However, this time the entire Apocalypse Empire mobilized its entire army, with all the angel gods and gods of apocalypse except for Huo Yuhao stationed on this space fortress.

The remaining Tianqi Empire residents on Douluo Star are mostly the elderly, weak, sick, or disabled, or people who were left behind by Tang San and are now scattered among the people, but pose no threat.

Many conservative Soul Masters who harbored disloyalty to the Apocalypse Empire but were intimidated by its past power and the fervor of their faith and unable to act, couldn't help but shed tears as they looked at the space fortress far from the earth.

They didn't know whether they were suffering because the Apocalypse Empire had actually created a divine kingdom for those fanatical believers and led them to ascension, or happy that the Apocalypse Empire, this behemoth that had weighed on them and made them unable to struggle, had really left.

These are people who were once Shrek Academy students, or followers of the Sea God or the Asura God, etc.

Because if they did not abandon their faith in Tang San, or the former Shrek Academy, which did not belong to the Apocalypse Empire, they would be completely unable to match the strength of the current cultivators of the Apocalypse Empire.

Although Huo Yuhao could have thoroughly cleaned them up before leaving, he ultimately did not do so.

That's because the people of the current Apocalypse Empire cultivate a system built around Huo Yuhao's power of belief, using faith and belief as the core of their cultivation.

The core of this system is that Huo Yuhao transformed a trace of his own belief power into a seed, giving those who believe in him the possibility of putting his beliefs and will into practice.

If a cultivator's devotion is insufficient and they cannot receive a response from Huo Yuhao, then even if they cultivate the same techniques as the believers of the Heavenly Revelation Empire, it will be in vain.

The final results will be vastly different, especially considering that there are now soul beasts in the ocean as well.

Ninety-nine percent of the soul beasts on the Douluo Continent have become extinct. The remaining ones are mostly low-level soul beasts with about ten years of cultivation, used as food or pets. Against this backdrop, the era that once belonged to soul masters has come to a complete end.

As for the sea spirit beasts in the ocean, most of those sea spirit beasts that are ten thousand years old or above are also under the influence and control of the Demon Emperor. Before the God King descended, they left Douluo Star with the Demon Emperor and the Heavenly Calamity Sect.

The remaining thousand-year-old sea spirit beasts are not worth mentioning. Under the laws of Douluo Star, the spirit rings of a thousand-year-old spirit beast are no match for those of a ten-thousand-year-old spirit beast.

Although Douluo Star has been revitalized by the divine power and blood of the incarnations of the gods, this is only relative to the energy of the entire plane. It is not so obvious for individual soul masters and soul beasts.

The time required to convert this energy into the average strength of the beings in this plane would be at least tens of thousands of years.

In addition, Huo Yuhao's previous excessive exploitation and plundering have left hidden dangers, and at least the path of a pure Soul Master is no longer viable in the short term.

If those conservative and stubborn Soul Masters still want to use Soul Skills and Soul Power to recreate their former glory, the difficulty will naturally be as high as climbing to the sky.

These stubborn and troublesome Soul Masters can be used to sharpen the teeth and hone the skills of the remaining old, weak, sick, and disabled people in Douluo Star and the Tianqi Empire.

Perhaps Huo Yuhao can eventually select a few more promising individuals from among these believers of the Apocalypse Empire, which would be a good thing. Although he will no longer focus on Douluo Star, it would be good to gain more benefits.

Before long, the space fortress finally escaped the gravitational pull of Douluo Star, and the anti-gravity array that had been operating continuously was ready to rest.

Huo Yuhao's mental power mobilized the runes that constituted the anti-gravity array, transforming them into runes for the energy conversion array. These runes then linked with the energy-gathering arrays that were already on the outer shell of the space fortress, drawing in and absorbing the cosmic energy that was floating in space.

Although there is no planetary will to condense, control, or organize it, the free energy in space is very dispersed and volatile, unlike the energy on planets which can be directly absorbed by people.

However, Huo Yuhao is now absorbing and converting energy through the metal body of the space fortress. Moreover, space is vast enough, and no one has absorbed energy in space for a long time.

Therefore, when Huo Yuhao used the energy-gathering array and energy conversion to simulate the will of the planetary plane to filter, absorb, and convert free energy in space, the power generated was even greater than the spiritual energy of heaven and earth absorbed on Douluo Star.

After all, on Douluo Star, in order to avoid environmental damage and to avoid violating the agreement previously made with the God Realm Committee, the space fortress was not even activated at full power.

At the moment of takeoff, even though it lacked energy and was essentially an empty shell of a space fortress, it could only be considered a half-finished product in Huo Yuhao's eyes.

However, things are different in the uncontrolled space. By absorbing and converting free energy in space, countless pure energies are extracted and evenly attached to the metal that makes up the entire space fortress along the magic array.

Unlike the spaceships that most people imagine, this space fortress does not have a clearly defined propulsion system or fuel engine.

Or rather, what plays this role are the powerful beings within the entire space fortress and the spiritual metal alloys that constitute the space fortress.

Fuel is energy, stored within each piece of spiritual metal alloy. When powerful beings manipulate it, it is naturally consumed to power the entire space fortress.

The strength of a spiritual metal alloy directly affects the amount of energy it can store. However, spiritual metal alloys can evolve; under the nourishment of abundant energy, the upper limit of their energy storage capacity can be continuously increased.

The propulsion, attack, and defense systems of the entire space fortress were all mobilized and coordinated by Huo Yuhao through his mental and computational power, drawing upon the mental and energy contributions of the powerful individuals on the space fortress.

Depending on the type of device needed, Huo Yuhao's spiritual power, located at the core of the space fortress, would modify the rune arrays and soul guidance core arrays within the space fortress to suit his needs.

After all, Huo Yuhao doesn't need to follow any physics rules. He only needs to believe that his power of conviction can make this space fortress work as he needs. Everything is based on the premise of its use.

If all else fails, this space fortress can even launch bricks with tremendous force, since the weight of the entire space fortress and the potential energy it can generate under kinetic propulsion far exceed that of any so-called divine artifact by many levels.

So basically, it can be said that the entire space fortress is a tough and difficult obstacle to overcome. Apart from the limited life support devices and systems inside, the entire space fortress was designed for war.

Moreover, since the personnel aboard this space fortress are all powerful individuals with considerable strength, the environmental requirements for these life support devices and systems have been greatly reduced.

After all, these resilient and powerful individuals, even without oxygen, gravity, food, or water, can convert enough energy into what their bodies need to maintain their physiological functions and even hone their will and improve their strength in harsh environments.

Even if all else fails, there's always necromancy. Even if these powerful beings die due to lifespan or other reasons, they can still use their immense energy to transform into undead forms and continue to serve this space fortress and Huo Yuhao's will.

As the space fortress gradually filled up and even began to grow stronger by absorbing those free cosmic energy particles, Huo Yuhao was very satisfied. Everything was pretty much as he had expected.

After all, the energy he had absorbed from Douluo Star was not enough to support his next actions.

With such limited energy, let alone bombarding Tianlong Star or Tianma Star, let alone making the powerful figures in those star systems wary.

They can't even activate a wormhole to traverse galaxies.

It's important to know that the distance between the Dragon Horse Galaxy and the galaxy where Douluo Star is located is extremely far.

Although Huo Yuhao has their spatial coordinates, if he were to fly straight there, the plot of the fourth part of Douluo Continent would probably have to start.

However, now that Tang San, the mastermind behind all this trouble, is gone, even if the timeline really reaches that point, everything will probably be different.

In the vast expanse of space, where there was no day or night cycle and even the concept of time was somewhat chaotic, after what could be described as a very long period of time, the space fortress of the Apocalypse Empire finally accumulated enough power.

Abundant energy permeated every part of the space fortress, causing its already powerful spiritual metal alloy to undergo transformation after transformation.

Under the combined effect of the rune array and the soul-guiding core array, the entire space fortress underwent a transformation.

Just like the Tower of Eternity in Electrolux, the Space Fortress at this moment can even be described as a divine artifact, an enormous and divine artifact!

It can still continue to evolve, but the time required will be hundreds, thousands, or even tens of thousands of times longer—a time that no one can say for sure.

Just like the emergence of the will of a planetary plane, in addition to the accumulation of massive energy, it also requires sufficient coincidences or a spark of inspiration.

However, Huo Yuhao no longer needs to make any further preparations; the current space fortress is already powerful and threatening enough.

Huo Yuhao mobilized the power of the entire space fortress with his mental energy, and a huge spatial wormhole, beyond the imagination of ordinary people, appeared in front of the space fortress, followed by a spatial jump.

The massive space fortress vanished from its spot, followed by several more successful space jumps.

Huo Yuhao and his group successfully arrived at their destination, a completely unfamiliar star system filled with unfamiliar laws and powers that subtly suppressed Huo Yuhao and his companions, as well as the space fortress.

However, given Huo Yuhao's strength and the influence of the Space Fortress, this slight suppression was almost negligible.
