Douluo Continent: The Cataclysm of the Dead - Huo Yuhao

"Rippling Light!"

This was a high-level forbidden spell within the same type of light magic, and it was Huo Yuhao's first attempt at high-level magic.

To be precise, the Divine Descent Technique can only be considered an explosive ability.

"boom!!"

At that moment, Huo Yuhao used all his strength to open the Gate of the Dead, intending to just go inside.

But just as Huo Yuhao had one foot already stepped into the Gate of the Dead, space began to distort.

"Not bad, truly worthy of being the successor of the Chosen One. I must say, such power is truly terrifying. If I were someone like Zhang Peng, I might have panicked and let you get away."

As the smoke and dust dissipated, Zhongli Wu emerged unharmed. At the same time, Huo Yuhao's expression turned completely ugly. He could feel that the surrounding space seemed to have frozen, which was clearly the work of the other party. This seemed to mean that Huo Yuhao would have no chance today.

Huo Yuhao, on the other hand, only found it somewhat absurd.

I couldn't help but laugh at myself.

"I never expected you would go to such lengths to arrest me."

"Facing such a monstrous genius, it's acceptable to expend some effort."

Zhongli Wu shrugged slightly, and Huo Yuhao felt his body move uncontrollably toward him.

At that very moment, Tianmeng and Bingdi in his spiritual sea were contemplating whether to fight to the death, but Huo Yuhao knew all too well that even if the two fought to the death, the most they could do against Zhongli Wu was perhaps escape, and even that was not very likely. It was also possible that they would both perish.

Just then, a slightly aged, yet somewhat mocking voice rang out.

"Little one, you've done very well to get this far. Leave the rest to your master..."

Chapter 220 The Bone Dragon King's Liberation

Upon hearing that aged voice, Huo Yuhao breathed a sigh of relief. Finally, his greatest cheat, Elder Yi, had returned.

Meanwhile, seeing that Huo Yuhao's struggle had ended, Zhongli Wu, still hopeless, shook his head and spoke to comfort him.

"Don't worry, a genius like you, who even knows a lot about soul tools, I won't use that kind of brutal brainwashing technique directly, that would just ruin your genius."

"However, I will gradually manipulate you. In fact, once you come to our Holy Church, you can achieve whatever you want."

"I've investigated before, and the power within you is likely related to some powerful figure, but it doesn't matter."

“Even the Star Luo Empire briefly had a wanted poster of you.”

"But it doesn't matter. If you want, we can crush those ants in Xingluo at will."

As he spoke, Zhongliwu didn't forget to make a few empty promises.

However, this was indeed his true thought. After all, if a genius like Huo Yuhao were crippled by that kind of brainwashing technique, most of his talent would be wasted.

The mecha alone was something that even a level nine soul master within the sect had remarked was that it was a technology that was ahead of its time.

But in the next instant, Zhongli Wu's expression suddenly changed.

When Huo Yuhao, who seemed to have given in, opened his eyes again, his aura suddenly changed. The soul power that had been around him before seemed to have been withdrawn or imprisoned at this moment. Although he did not exude any spiritual power, his golden eyes were filled with a sense of desolation.

He seemed to have instantly become a different person, or rather, just one glance revealed a sense of vicissitude that a young man like Huo Yuhao could never possess.

More importantly, he felt a pressure emanating from this world—yes, from this world itself.

It felt as if, in the next instant, he was facing not a Soul King, but the ruler of this world.

It's as if I'm going to be at odds with the whole world.

Moreover, Huo Yuhao's spiritual power dissipated at that moment.

But how is that possible?

For a Soul King to possess such powerful spiritual strength is already the absolute limit.

"Is it a hallucination? Or is it someone behind you?"

"Your Majesty might as well show yourself. A genius like Huo Yuhao would be more suited to follow the path of my Holy Church."

Even at this point, Zhongli Wu still cupped his hands and spoke, glancing around as if he had no intention of giving up on Huo Yuhao. After all, the Holy Spirit Sect's current background was terrifyingly powerful: a Supreme Elder who was both a Limit Douluo and a peak level nine Soul Master, and another Limit Douluo, Long Xiaoyao.

These two enormous figures, it's no exaggeration to say, would have been completely different if it weren't for that little incident back then.

And, most importantly, the Holy Spirit Cult cannot directly target multiple factions.

Zhongli Wu has long been unable to restrain himself and may make a move against Shrek Academy. After all, Shrek Academy is currently no match for the Holy Spirit Cult in terms of strength.

If it weren't for the sacred site, which would allow evil spirit masters to completely control the entire continent and even stand proudly before the world, they would have no chance.

Shrek Academy may have already been destroyed by the Holy Spirit Cult.

"You don't need to look anywhere else, I am right in front of you."

As that weathered voice rang out, Zhongli Wu looked at Huo Yuhao with some suspicion, but still subconsciously took a deep breath and said with a firm tone.

"Impossible, you are definitely not Huo Yuhao."

"Heh, your eyesight is not bad, but your control over the power of the undead is still too superficial."

"It's nothing more than using some vulgar methods to forcibly control the soul within this soul beast."

As he heard Huo Yuhao's slightly disdainful yet weathered voice, Zhongli Wu couldn't help but clench his fists unconsciously. This was something he had spent so many years and so much effort to achieve, yet in the other person's eyes, it seemed like some child's trick.

"Heh, since that's the case, then I have no choice but to force you out, senior."

"I hope you can give me some guidance, senior."

The moment the words fell, Zhongli Wu manipulated the Bone Dragon King in front of him. With a shout of "Wind and Fire Transformation," a gale powerful enough to tear through space rushed directly towards Huo Yuhao.

The space around Huo Yuhao trembled slightly, but before it could get close enough, the power seemed to freeze, encountering an invisible barrier, or rather, an insurmountable chasm. It could not move even half a step further, and with Huo Yuhao's gentle touch, it was completely blocked.

The fierce wind in front of them suddenly dissipated.

"That's interesting. But no one, whether in this world or that world, has ever dared to attack my disciple."

"It's just a pity that my strength is still quite far from its peak."

Even so, it wouldn't take too much effort to let you pass away like this.

As soon as he finished speaking, Huo Yuhao suddenly clenched his fist in front of him, and the gray, deathly power of the dead instantly transformed into a gray-black scepter.

Even the most shrewd Zhongli Wu couldn't help but get angry upon hearing this.

The fact that the other party completely disregarded him made him feel as if his self-proclaimed dignity as the number one person below the limit had been trampled on.

"Your words are indeed very ambitious, but I hope you can live up to your abilities."

Before Zhongli Wu could make another move, Electrox raised the so-called gray-black necromancer's scepter.

"O remnant soul bound by chains, in the name of the Undead Scourge, the Holy Law of the Necromancer, I declare your freedom."

After a series of somewhat complicated and difficult-to-understand incantations, the last sentence was uttered.

But this made Zhongli Wu subconsciously feel that something was wrong.

As it turned out, the worst possible scenario still occurred, or rather, an unimaginable scenario unfolded. The Bone Dragon King, which had been completely fused with him, seemed to have gained self-awareness. The flickering soul fire in its eyes, its trembling movements, and its rebellious consciousness were all palpable to him.

"No! That's absolutely impossible! I've been fused with the Bone Dragon King for so many years, it's impossible for us to separate!"

It is important to know that for Zhongli Wu, the Bone Dragon King is his natal spirit beast and an integral part of his strength.

If we remove the Bone Dragon King, it's no exaggeration to say that even if he were to encounter Xuanzi, another Supreme Elder of the Holy Spirit Cult, he might be at a disadvantage.

Therefore, for Zhongli Wu, the Bone Dragon King was his life, an inseparable part of him. At this moment, he gritted his teeth and struggled.

"Ha, how utterly foolish! The soul of any living being is free and has the right to choose freely."

Watching Zhongliwu attempt to spontaneously combust, even using this to deepen the bridge of the soul contract, or rather, the spiritual contract, between it and the Bone Dragon King, as if it wanted to go even deeper.

Electrolux spoke with a hint of disdain.

This was also his understanding of necromancy, or more accurately, his understanding of the soul, before he finally dissipated, having once been a scourge of the dead.

However, after chanting a few more incantations, the power of the struggle grew stronger and stronger, until Zhongli Wu roared at the "Huo Yuhao" in front of him with an incredulous or even distorted expression.

"Senior, please don't push your luck. Everyone, no, I can sense that you must also be an evil soul master, right? There's no need for this to escalate. My mother is a Limit Douluo, and my Uncle Long is also a Limit Douluo."

Meanwhile, Scorpion Tiger Douluo was completely stunned. You must know that for Zhongli Wu, the sect leader was most averse to mentioning the Supreme Sect Leader and the Chief Elder.

After all, although Zhongliwu appears to be the leader now, most of the decision-making power is still in the hands of the other party. But this time, the other party brought it up on their own initiative, which shows that Zhongliwu is completely out of options.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have brought it up proactively, hoping to gain the other party's sympathy. Although the possibility was slim, Scorpion Tiger Douluo couldn't help but think about it carefully. No matter how powerful the other party was, they should only be at the Limit Douluo level, right?

In this field, to fight two against one, do you really think the opponent is a top-level powerhouse like Di Tian or Xie Di, who surpasses the regular Limit Douluo?

However, Electrolux merely watched this scene with a cold expression until Zhongliwu's expression completely collapsed, because at that moment, the Bone Dragon King completely broke free from his soul contract.

In that instant, his aura weakened, and he couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of blood. It seemed as if a part of his martial spirit was gradually missing. The peak level 98 soul power fluctuation dropped rapidly, almost falling below level 98.

At this moment, all he could do was roar out while his face contorted in a ferocious expression.

"Impossible! This is absolutely impossible! It took me so many years to fuse with the Bone Dragon King, how did you manage to do it? Are you even human? Even a Limit Douluo with a mental attribute..."

At this point, Zhongliwu seemed to realize something.

Meanwhile, Electrox's gaze wasn't on him, but rather on the Bone Dragon King. The Bone Dragon King, now freed from its shackles...

At first, all it saw were memories of pain and bloodshed.

After all, Zhongli Wu has been the leader of the Holy Spirit Cult for many years, and the number of times his hands are stained with blood has exceeded ten million, many of which were devoured by beast spirits in order to make him stronger.

As a member of the Soul Beast race, he was naturally in pain to see so many of his compatriots die at his hands.

Upon seeing Electrox and sensing the divine presence emanating from him, he couldn't help but nod reverently and speak in a slightly hoarse human voice.

"Thank you so much, senior..."

As the words fell, the skeletal dragon king before them, or more accurately, the silver dragon that had received the grace of the silver dragon king, appeared.

As the massive dragon skeleton collapsed with a deafening roar, the original crimson power vanished completely. A wisp of pale silver dragon soul gradually dissipated into the world.

At the last moment, a hint of relief flashed through this wisp of dragon soul, but more than that, there was regret and self-blame.

If the other party, who was a dragon soul, had simply accepted his fate and chosen to die back then, perhaps he wouldn't have been discovered, controlled, or manipulated by Zhongli Wu, and wouldn't have come back to live this blood-soaked second life.

Electrox watched as the dragon's soul dissipated.

A spatial rift was about to close, and inside were Zhongli Wu and Scorpion Tiger Douluo, both filled with lingering fear.

At this moment, Scorpion Tiger Douluo still looked somewhat puzzled.
