The Peerless Tang Sect: Heavenly Heart Douluo

Chapter 26 Thoughts on Soul Beasts

Through the soul power of the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm, this soul ring has now been upgraded to approximately two thousand years old, but this upgrade does not significantly improve Huo Yuhao's soul skills.

However, with the help of the two-thousand-year soul ring, Huo Yuhao's soul power directly reached level twenty-three, but his second martial soul still had the original level twenty soul power.

Second Soul Ring: Fear Dragon

Soul Ring Age Limit: Originally 1600 years

Soul Ring Skills:

Fear Imprint: Units defeated by Huo Yuhao will have an extreme fear of Huo Yuhao planted deep in their minds.

Moreover, because of the distortion of the mind, this mark no longer affects the other party's mental strength, but rather restricts the other party's ideology.

Even if the other party's mental strength or soul power surpasses Huo Yuhao's in the future, they will still feel fear when they see Huo Yuhao. In this Douluo world where people don't cultivate their Dao heart, almost no one can get rid of this mark (even someone with exceptional skills like Ji Juechen doesn't seem to have many Douluo steps).

With the completion of the soul ring refinement, Huo Yuhao's power of conviction was also largely depleted, and it would be difficult to recover it in the short term.

Huo Yuhao had taken a month's leave for this trip, and since he had completed his goal in just ten days, he naturally wouldn't go back directly, since there was nothing he could do if he went back now.

It would be better to try our luck again and see if we can find any trace of the Mind-Stealing Tiger and the Nightmare, control them, and seal them into the Undead Demiplane. Then, we won't have to risk coming to this Star Dou Great Forest to obtain the Soul Ring.

At this moment, the corpse of the Dread Dragon on the ground had been mostly dismantled by Hei Yuhao, transforming into a skeleton dragon. Among skeleton creatures, it could be considered a superior unit, but it was still far inferior to the bone dragon transformed from the corpse of a true dragon.

Hei Yuhao looked at Huo Yuhao, who had just absorbed the spirit ring, and said, "I've discovered that these spirit beasts have some differences from the magical beasts in the memory inheritance of Ilex. I have another idea now."

"If a puppet possesses complete bloodline power, a complete soul, complete vitality, and complete consciousness, then can it be considered a living being?"

"In the Holy Demon Continent, the physical body, soul, and consciousness are independent. However, in the Douluo Continent, the soul rings and even the soul cores preserve the soul and residual consciousness of the soul beasts, and even the soul bones contain a part of it."

"If we use a piece of soul bone as the core to nurture it, replenish its spirituality and complete its consciousness, can we use it to reconstruct a new life?"

"Even if its origin is man-made, rather than naturally occurring."

"When I was studying Electrox's memories, I discovered that he had similar ideas, but he was unable to make a breakthrough due to the rules of the Holy Demon Continent."

"However, the thirteenth undead creature in this undead demiplane, the Grim Reaper, is a half-finished product he created."

"Formed from pure soul power, it nurtures a new consciousness, which is then molded into the desired form through magic."

"Although it has no physical body, it is a spirit-like undead creature."

"However, its origin is completely unrelated to nature; it is a purely man-made organism."

"Although its consciousness is magically created, it can only act according to the original settings and has no instincts of its own."

"If we could remove the consciousness from a piece of soul bone and infuse it with a part of our own consciousness, could we create a new avatar instead of this puppet corpse of mine?"

"I can feel that although I can control it freely, it is still different from my own body, and there is a clear gap between us."

Huo Yuhao nodded: "Yes, and I've also thought about it before, soul beasts are also an extremely powerful force."

"Especially now, because the Silver Dragon King is seriously injured and asleep, none of the soul beasts and ferocious beasts in the Star Dou Great Forest have made any obvious moves against the human world."

"But if we can use this to incite a beast tide, whether it's to collect souls or corpses to cultivate necromancy or to take the opportunity to deplete Tang San's trump cards, it's all good."

"Moreover, if the beast tide really breaks out and there are gods on the field, it won't be something that can be stopped so easily. It will give us more time to develop and more opportunities to take risks."

"So what do we do now?"

Hei Yuhao put down the pieces of the Fear Dragon's corpse, clapped his hands, and all the life force within had disappeared, transformed into part of his power.

"Corpses, I need a lot of soul beast corpses and soul bones. To complete my idea, I need a lot of experiments."

"But there's no rush right now. Our strength is still too weak. If we can reach the Soul Emperor level, we'll have many more options available."

Huo Yuhao thought for a moment and said, "Then I'll go out first. As for the rest, we can only take it one step at a time. But I plan to find an opportunity to go to Hyotei. Are you ready?"

Hei Yuhao nodded: "Anytime is fine."

As the Gate of the Dead opened, Huo Yuhao returned to the Star Dou Great Forest. The spotted cat that had been on the ground was now just a pool of blood, apparently having been ambushed and devoured by other soul beasts while he was weak and powerless.

After activating his True Simulation ability, Huo Yuhao immediately ran towards the outer edge of the mixed zone, having already ventured too far in search of the Fear Dragon.

Dreaddragons are creatures with a strong sense of community. If a member dies, they will likely swarm around their territory to hunt it down. Although we are not afraid of them, they are still a nuisance.

Along the way, Huo Yuhao used his mental detection to search for the soul beasts he needed in the mixed zone, but still didn't find anything.

With most of his power of faith depleted, he dared not expend any more of it on the search; he planned to save the rest for unforeseen circumstances.

Ten more days passed, and still nothing was found. Helpless, Huo Yuhao had no choice but to set off. However, when he arrived at the outer edge of the Star Dou Great Forest, he discovered a Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear through mental detection.

It has a cultivation of nearly two thousand years, and through mental observation, Huo Yuhao discovered that the soul power on the right paw of this dark gold dinosaur bear is significantly more refined than that on other parts of its body.

"Could this be the same one that Huo Yuhao and his friends encountered in the original story? They're so lucky!" Huo Yuhao thought to himself.

[However, even with only a thousand years of cultivation, the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear can still hunt down ordinary ten-thousand-year-old soul beasts. This is a bit troublesome, but worth a try.]

Since Hei Yuhao revealed his idea, Huo Yuhao has set a plan: if he can create a soul beast avatar with strong bloodline potential and infiltrate the Star Dou Great Forest, he may have a chance to break into the soul beast's territory.

However, because of the unchanging nature of soul beasts over millions of years, unless they possess extremely high bloodline and potential, they probably wouldn't even catch the eye of those ferocious beasts.

The Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear possesses a high concentration of golden bloodline. If it can be nurtured based on this and further enhanced with dragon bloodline to create a clone that resembles a primordial dragon, it should attract the attention of Di Tian and his group in the Star Dou Great Forest, where the True Dragon Clan is relatively small.

As for the consequences of failure, it would only be the loss of resources invested and a portion of the consciousness that was given away, which Huo Yuhao could afford to gamble on.

Furthermore, Huo Yuhao knew the location where the Ice and Fire Dragon King's remains had fallen, and if he could obtain the Dragon Core from Mu En, this idea would have a very high success rate.
