Douluo Continent II: The Peerless Tang Sect: I, Huo Yuhao, join the Sun Moon Sect

To be honest, he had high hopes for it.

After all, the fact that Zhou Weiqing was an undercover agent has been confirmed by the destroyer.

The reason this matter could be confirmed was mainly because when he was having dinner with Tang Hao, he learned from Tang Hao that Tang San had saved Zhou Weiqing, and that this Zhou Weiqing later became a God of Destruction.

Ma Hongjun immediately rose from the lava lake, quickly transforming into a fiery red streak of light and leaving the area.

........

Underworld.

Click!

Blinding lightning surged, like a leaping dragon, instantly illuminating the ink-black clouds in the sky.

The faint cry of a phoenix echoed from the dark clouds, deafeningly loud.

Huo Yuhao and Electrolux looked up at the dark clouds.

The enormous, blood-stained wings swayed slightly, as if trying to tear the dark clouds apart to reveal their full form. The battered skeleton, illuminated by the lightning, appeared as if draped in a ghastly white.

"The phoenix corpse exudes the aura of a god-king. It can be basically confirmed that it belongs to that god-king level phoenix god. Teacher, we must be careful when investigating this phoenix corpse!"

Huo Yuhao said in a low voice.

According to the original setting, the Phoenix God was killed by the Dragon God, so there is no possibility that this phoenix corpse is still alive, after all, the Dragon God is too powerful.

But it's always good to be careful.

“Okay.” Electrolux nodded and instructed, “Yuhao, stay close to me and stay behind me so I can take better care of you.”

"Yes, teacher!" Huo Yuhao replied.

Then, Electrolux waved his scepter, and jet-black death power rapidly condensed, landing on Huo Yuhao and transforming into a magnificent jet-black robe.

If Huo Yuhao were attacked, this magnificent robe, formed from the divine power of death, would naturally protect him and provide him with some buffer time.

Chapter 863 Super Artifact - Underworld

Then, Electrolux carried Huo Yuhao into the sky, the dark power of death enveloping the two of them, like a black meteor falling in reverse, leaving a trail of light and shadow in the sky that lingered for a long time.

Soon, the two rushed into the dark clouds, and an astonishing number of spatial rifts opened up nearby, swallowing the clouds, and chaotic spatial fluctuations appeared in the vicinity.

The higher one went, the more intense the pressure emanating from the phoenix's corpse became, almost tangible. Even the pitch-black divine power of death was stirred to emit dazzling light.

Looking around, the dark, inky clouds all around were rapidly receding, like the tide going out.

At this moment, Huo Yuhao felt as if he were sitting on a ship, surrounded by towering waves, with one high-pitched phoenix cry after another in his ears.

As time passed, the phoenix's cry grew increasingly violent.

The phoenix's cry seemed to target his divine sense, making him feel somewhat uncomfortable.

Even the divine power of death could not stop it.

"Teacher, do you feel that the phoenix's cry has a significant impact on divine sense?" Huo Yuhao asked Electrolux beside him directly, wanting to hear his feelings.

Electrolux paused, frowning, seemingly puzzled:

"It has a rather significant impact on spiritual consciousness?"

Seeing the other person's expression, Huo Yuhao's heart skipped a beat. Oh no, they're coming for me!

Suddenly, he felt a faint dragon roar emanating from the Water Dragon King bloodline within him, as if triggering a chain reaction. The dark clouds around him gathered again, and the high-pitched phoenix cry abruptly stopped.

The discomfort caused by the phoenix's cry instantly melted away, and Huo Yuhao felt the pressure decrease dramatically.

At this moment, the pitch-black divine power of death fluctuated slightly, revealing the scene outside.

What came into view was a huge phoenix.

Its body shimmered with seven-colored light, looking extremely noble. Its huge wings were stained with blood, and its purplish-black divine power was like a sharp blade, clinging to the vicinity of each wound, revealing its pale white bones.

The dark clouds and thunder seemed like layers of chains, binding it.

A deep claw mark was visible on the bloodstained skull.

The purplish-black divine power clung to it, like a maggot clinging to a bone.

Faintly, one could see the brain and the divine core; its eyes were closed, and it murmured as if instinctively:

"Dragon God... Damn it!"

As it spoke, it swayed, as if trying to break free from the chains forged by the dark clouds and thunder. The dark clouds and thunder continued to surge, but it still failed.

He kept repeating the words he had just said:

"Dragon God... damn it!"

"Dragon God... damn it!"

Hearing these words, Huo Yuhao was deeply shaken.

He wondered if the Phoenix God had mistaken him for the Dragon God, which was why he had been targeted by the phoenix's cry and felt uncomfortable.

To be honest, the Water Dragon King is not the Dragon God's biological child.

However, the Water Dragon King was endowed with bloodline and attributes by the Dragon God, which is why he was able to become a God King.

In a sense, the bloodline of the Water Dragon King and the bloodline of the Dragon God do have some similarities.

However, according to the original setting, the Phoenix God was clearly killed by the Dragon God, which is no doubt. But after so many years of death, how could the corpse still possess certain instincts?

As expected of a god-king who could severely injure the dragon god.

It's important to understand that the Dragon God is the King of Gods, and it's no easy feat to severely injure him.

The Dragon God will undoubtedly strike hard against an enemy like the Phoenix God, leaving no chance for the latter to survive.

A dark, ominous light gradually emerged in Electrox's eyes.

He waved his scepter, and the dark power of death surged like a tide, quickly covering the Phoenix God's corpse, and a chilling aura spread out.

An invisible ripple spread rapidly outwards from the corpse of the Phoenix God.

After a while, Electrolux's whisper rang in Huo Yuhao's ears:

“Yuhao, as a first-level deity who holds the power of death, I can confirm that its soul has been destroyed... it is undoubtedly dead, but its body still possesses instincts and considerable power.”

"Of course, I didn't detect any divine position within it, but I did notice something interesting that might help you understand more of the mysteries of the God-King, or even condense a new divine position..."

Upon hearing this, Huo Yuhao looked puzzled and subconsciously asked:

"Something interesting?"

"Yes, during my investigation, I discovered that this phoenix corpse has an extremely deep connection with the underworld; it's almost as if they are one."

When I realized this, I continued to rely on the authority of death to manipulate the Phoenix God's corpse, allowing me to conduct a deeper investigation into it. I even communicated with the 'Underworld,' ultimately extracting some memories from it.

"Communicating with the 'underworld' and extracting some memories from it?"

Huo Yuhao's face showed obvious surprise.

Electrolux explained:

"According to my investigation, the so-called underworld is actually a broken artifact, and it possesses a weak sense of consciousness."

Huo Yuhao was stunned upon hearing these words.

To be honest, in the Douluo series' world view, there are indeed divine artifacts with sentience.

Although the super artifacts of the five great god-kings do not possess sentience, the Dragon-Slaying Blade in the hands of the dragon god, the king of god-kings, does indeed possess considerable sentience.

Speaking of this, we must mention Sima Jinchi from the Legend of the Dragon King.

When the Dragon God fell, the Dragon Clan's magic sword, the Dragon Slayer Sword, which he wielded, fell to the Douluo Continent and fell into a deep slumber.

Later, the spirit of the Dragon Slayer Sword awakened, transformed into a human infant, was adopted by humans, and gradually grew into a powerful human soul master, namely Sima Jinchi.

Later, after Sima Jinchi learned about his identity as the soul of the Dragon Slayer Blade, he ultimately chose to follow Tang Wulin, who possessed the bloodline of the Golden Dragon King, and recognized him as his master.

It's not too surprising that the Phoenix God, who can severely injure the Dragon God, possesses a divine artifact with sentience. However, this also suggests that the Underworld must be an extraordinary artifact!

To be honest, he always believed that the Dragon Slayer Blade was designated as a divine weapon simply because the Dragon God, being the king of gods, had an overly high standard for divine weapons.

This is why the Dragon Slayer Sword was designated as a divine weapon.

In fact, by current standards, the Dragon Slayer Sword should be considered a super artifact.

It's worth noting that even the pirated Dragon Clan magic sword, forged by the leader of Tianlong Star in Ultimate Douluo, was designated as a super artifact.

You can't say that the genuine dragon magic sword made by the Dragon God using his own dragon horn is worse than the pirated version, can you?

Electrolux then continued:

"In the memories of the 'Underworld,' I discovered something: in the battle between the Dragon God and the Phoenix God, although the Phoenix God severely injured the Dragon God, he was also killed by the Dragon God."

The 'Underworld,' which possesses consciousness, fled with the corpse of the Phoenix God.

Fortunately, the Dragon God suffered severe injuries, and the methods left behind by the Phoenix God before his death were still restricting the Dragon God. Therefore, the Dragon God's strength declined significantly, and after enduring some attacks, the 'Underworld' successfully escaped with the Phoenix God's corpse.

Throughout the long course of time, the 'Underworld' has been resonating with the corpse of the Phoenix God, attempting to resurrect its master, the Phoenix God.

This is also why the corpse of the Phoenix God sometimes opens its eyes, bursts into green flames, flaps its wings, and releases a soul-stirring wind that sweeps through the underworld.

Chapter 864 Ma Hongjun, I Need Your Divine Position

Upon hearing these words, Huo Yuhao's face showed understanding.

He nodded and murmured:

"I see, no wonder this happened."

He looked at Electrolux and continued to ask, "..."

"However, teacher, why does the Underworld still appear near the Douluo Continent? And why hasn't it been taken away by those God Kings?"

The other god-kings are fine.

Given Tang San's extremely greedy nature, he would certainly not allow such a thing to happen.

Instead, they would try every means to seize the corpses of the Underworld and the Phoenix God.

After all, this thing is of immense value. Even if we can't immediately seize the corpses of the Underworld and the Phoenix God, we still need to make many arrangements here.
