Douluo Continent: The Cataclysm of the Dead - Huo Yuhao

"To be precise, the stronger a soul beast is when it chooses to transform into human form, the stronger it will be. Although the time it takes to reach maturity is shorter, it is still dangerous."

"Because this means that if one wants to continue to improve their cultivation, they not only need to enter human society, but more importantly, they need to face the dangers during the transformation process."

“Ordinary 100,000-year-old soul beasts would hardly face any risks if they chose this path, but for someone of my level, choosing this path would mean certain death if something went wrong.”

"Not to mention how many Title Douluo there are in the present era."

Hearing this, Huo Yuhao stroked his chin thoughtfully. After thinking about it carefully, it made sense. After all, the Snow Empress was already 700,000 years old. If she was still only in a six-year-old form after transforming, wouldn't all her cultivation have been in vain?

As Huo Yuhao stroked his chin, finding the idea reasonable, Xue Di looked at him with a half-smile and spoke.

"Yuhao, speaking of which, I can sense that you don't seem to have that kind of emotional fluctuation towards me. Could it be that you have homosexual tendencies?"

"...?"

Upon hearing this, Huo Yuhao almost stumbled.

His face clearly showed his speechlessness and embarrassment.

At this moment, to be precise, it seems that he has been mistaken for someone with unusual fetishes more than once. His face can only be described as handsome, and besides, do I really have that kind of ability?

He felt that these words didn't sound like something the aloof Snow Empress would say; they sounded more like something the other person in her previous life's spirit form would say.

Seeing Huo Yuhao's discomfitured expression, Xue Di chuckled.

"Okay, okay, I'm just teasing you. It's just that my aesthetic sense is considered very beautiful by human standards, but you don't show any emotion on your face for even a moment, so that's why I have these doubts."

Xue Di spread her hands, her matter-of-fact demeanor leaving Huo Yuhao somewhat amused and exasperated. However, judging from her expression, her confident words didn't seem to have any real flaws.

As for Huo Yuhao, in an attempt to change the subject, he could only cough lightly. A flash of gray light appeared, and Ilex, in his soul form, reappeared. Upon seeing this, Xue Di's playful and teasing expression vanished, replaced by solemnity and respect. After all, she knew that this being was a divine consciousness from another world, the very source of her confidence in venturing into the human world.

"The cultivation laws of your world are quite interesting; magical beasts can actually transcend the level of power."

Electrolux glanced at Snow Empress and couldn't help but sigh sincerely.

After all, although he had heard about it, witnessing it and hearing about it are not the same thing.

Before Xue Di could speak, Ilex snapped his fingers. The obscure incantation lasted only a second or two before a gray magic circle gradually appeared beneath Xue Di's feet, eventually transforming into a gray mark that flickered between her brows.

The mark appeared for only a moment before disappearing, and at the same time, Electrox said softly.

"This is a wisp of power from my divine sense. It may not be able to do other things, but my divine sense and your souls have evolved to a higher level. Even a Limit Douluo can only sense that this power is somewhat strange and seems to surpass your original aura. Unless this wisp of power completely dissipates, it will not be detected."

"Of course, if you encounter an exceptionally powerful attack, this wisp of power will automatically help you block it, and at that time, the aura within your body will no longer be able to be concealed."

At this moment, Xue Di realized that Electrolux's methods were not as complicated as she had imagined. However, she still looked at Electrolux before her, and at the same time, she put away her usual arrogant attitude, gently landed, and said in a respectful tone:

"Thank you for your help."

"Ha, this is nothing. I will continue to sleep."

As the words fell, the blurry gray light dissipated once more, disappearing into Huo Yuhao's Eye of Destiny. After the words were spoken, a gray bead began absorbing life force, recovering itself...

Chapter 235 Ocean Anomaly, the Second Coming of the Holy Spirit?

Xue Di breathed a sigh of relief at this moment. Under the cover of Ilex's divine sense, even a Limit Douluo would have difficulty seeing through her, given the strength of Ilex's divine sense. Her transformation, or rather, the fact that she had been discovered, was now completely resolved.

As for her own talent, she wasn't worried.

With his own abilities alone, becoming a Limit Douluo again wouldn't be a problem, as for the so-called path to godhood.

At least according to Huo Yuhao's description, if the other party really became a god, he would not only help her, but also, in her impression of legends, there seemed to be traces of the Ice God in the far north. It seemed she would have to go back and search carefully in the future.

After making up her mind about this, Xue Di couldn't help but tease Huo Yuhao.

"Yuhao, what are your plans for your sixth spirit ring? Are you going to have Atai become your sixth guardian spirit?"

"As long as you're willing to part with it, I don't mind."

Huo Yuhao spread his hands and spoke with a smile, but Xue Di glared at him in annoyance.

Just kidding, you actually want to sleep with me?

"I'll give you something beautiful."

Huo Yuhao chuckled and spread his hands before subconsciously walking out of the cave.

Then, Tianmeng's voice suddenly rang out.

"Yuhao, it's best not to go near this sea."

This caused a flicker of confusion in Huo Yuhao's eyes, and he couldn't help but use his mental power to look in that direction.

This is now outside the core area of ​​the far north, very close to the sea.

The seawater seemed to be trembling, as if some powerful being was raging.

Meanwhile, Xue Di subconsciously tried to use her mental power, but found that her mental power was no longer sufficient.

Seeing Huo Yuhao's slightly confused expression, Xue Di couldn't help but ask him.

"What's wrong?"

"Brother Tianmeng seems to have sensed something unusual about the nearby ocean."

Huo Yuhao didn't hide anything from Xue Di, and while speaking truthfully, a hint of confusion flashed in his eyes.

Xue Di couldn't help but mutter to herself.

"That can't be right? The lord of this sea is a friend of mine, and he has a very good temper."

Seeing Xue Di's posture, Huo Yuhao couldn't help but raise an eyebrow.

So you mean you want to do something about it?

Upon hearing this, Xue Di was taken aback for a moment, then looked at Huo Yuhao and said in an annoyed tone, "Why don't you take a look? Anyway, you need your sixth spirit ring now. There are also powerful spirit beasts among the sea spirit beasts. Maybe you can find a suitable one."

Upon hearing this, Huo Yuhao did not refuse and nodded slightly.

Tianmeng, within the Sea of ​​Spirit, could only sigh helplessly. Well, her words had been rendered meaningless again.

What happened next? When Xue Di subconsciously tried to float over, she found that she couldn't do it. Most of her power had been stored in her origin, and now she was just a Soul Emperor, so long-distance flight would be a bit difficult.

Seeing this, Huo Yuhao could only take out a flying soul tool and guide Xue Di on how to use it. Looking at the soul tool with its shimmering ice-blue wings on her back, Xue Di sighed sincerely.

"You humans are progressing too fast. If you were allowed to continue developing like this without choosing this path, I'm afraid I might not be able to protect the far north by then."

Huo Yuhao simply shrugged at this. The other party was right. Even if the Snow Empress survived the seven hundred thousand year tribulation, it wouldn't be long before the golden age arrived ten thousand years later.

Xue Di's strength also seemed somewhat inadequate.

After all, any Title Douluo, with the enhancement of a four-word battle armor, is equivalent to a Limit Douluo in strength. Admittedly, the Snow Empress possesses the power of the arena, but one is not enough, so she forcibly adds more people.

Not to mention that Limit Douluo, with the help of Level 4 Battle Armor, can unleash quasi-god power.

No need for more, just two of them coming would probably kill the Snow Emperor on the spot.

After all, not everyone has a trump card like Di Tian's Dragon God Claw.

Di Tian was able to unleash the power of a half-step god.

This feeling became even more pronounced after the two arrived at the nearby ocean.

Arriving at the ocean, they saw the surging waves as the sea rose and fell.

As if it were some terrifying presence, Huo Yuhao instinctively reached his hand inside. His eyes widened in shock.

This seawater contains a power that Huo Yuhao is most familiar with: spiritual power.

Although only a trace of it was hidden, Huo Yuhao could still sense that this wisp of spiritual power was filled with rage.

Then I thought about how the far north is close to the coast. If we're talking about the closest and most powerful soul beasts that exist nearby, it would probably be the merfolk.

Xue Di also put her hand into the seawater and felt it. She sensed the faint, furious spiritual power hidden in the surging waves.

She took a deep breath and spoke with an almost certain tone.

"This...it must be her."

Seeing Xue Di's confident demeanor, and thinking of the most powerful soul beast clan in the vicinity, Huo Yuhao almost blurted out.

"You mean... the Queen of the Mermaid Clan, the Sea Princess?"

Seeing that Huo Yuhao guessed it almost instantly, Bingdi wasn't too surprised. After all, given that Huo Yuhao might really be a so-called reborn person and that he had so many cheat codes, it wasn't surprising that he knew about the Sea Princess.

Xue Di nodded slightly, and at the same time, Huo Yuhao stroked his chin and couldn't help but recall.

If we follow the current timeline, then it shouldn't be too hard to guess why this sea princess was exposed.

Although war has not yet broken out directly, the incident that triggered the five-party coalition is prompting the Sun Moon Empire to gradually deploy its war preparations.

As the crown prince, Xu Tianran would inevitably get involved, and the Holy Spirit Cult would gradually infiltrate the army little by little.

During that war, those near Dongyang City were none other than the two titled Douluo, Hatred and Ten Thousand Souls, from the Holy Spirit Cult.

Combining this with the near-death experience he had in Dongyang City after the Sea Princess's daughter, Liya, was kidnapped, Huo Yuhao made a new judgment.

Based on the current timeline, Huo Yuhao felt strange. It seemed that it shouldn't be that time yet since Liya was abducted, right?

However, considering his own rebirth and the influence of the Five Alliance, as well as the Holy Spirit Cult's gradual infiltration into the army and Xu Tianran's possible actions, it seems reasonable that the two of them came here in advance and even abducted Liya.

While thinking about it, Huo Yuhao decided not to hide anything and told Xue Di what he had speculated about. After listening, Xue Di couldn't help but clench her fists unconsciously.

"Damn beast!"

Unfortunately, for Xue Di, the reason she could accept other soul beasts as Huo Yuhao's guardian spirits was that by becoming Huo Yuhao's guardian spirits, most soul beasts could not only embark on the path to godhood, but also retain their dignity and rationality.

This is completely different from the conventional method of killing or imprisoning soul beasts and turning them into undead.

After listening, Xue Di paused briefly, then looked at Huo Yuhao. Her hesitant expression revealed her true feelings to Huo Yuhao.

Huo Yuhao couldn't help but remind Xue Di again.

"Snow Empress, now that you've embarked on this path, what are you planning to do next?"

"Go find her now and tell her that those two people kidnapped her youngest daughter. What can you do?"

Huo Yuhao may understand the situation, but does that really mean he's willing to recklessly throw his life away?

That's right, at least for now.

Contacting the sea princess, who has just lost her daughter and is still immersed in grief, would be tantamount to suicide, even with the Snow Empress by her side, unless they forcibly drag Electrolux out to reason with her.

However, for Huo Yuhao, unless it was something he absolutely had to do, he didn't want to disturb his mentor's recovery.

Upon hearing this, Xue Di couldn't help but tremble, as if she had remembered something: her current identity was that of a human.
