Douluo Continent: The Spirit-Eyed Detective Huo Yuhao

The Abyss Saint King suddenly awoke to find that Huo Yuhao's body was still intact, and his divine halberd was stopped half an inch in front of him, without striking him at all.

Have you really come close to me?

Another soft voice came from somewhere, sounding less like a question and more like a kind reminder.

In the blink of an eye, the Abyss Saint King realized that he hadn't rushed forward at all; he and Huo Yuhao were still standing in the same spot. Everything that had just happened was just his delusion.

"Impossible! Impossible!" the Holy Monarch roared repeatedly, gripping the Heavenly Holy Abyss Splitting Halberd tightly.

"Are you really holding your weapon?"

"Nonsense..." The Abyss Saint King sealed his divine sense, not wanting to hear Huo Yuhao's voice transmission anymore, but still felt his hand go empty.

When he came to his senses, the Heavenly Saint Rift Halberd was no longer in his hand.

"Oh, a super artifact condensed from the origin of this world." Huo Yuhao swung the Heavenly Saint Rift Halberd a couple of times, but it wasn't very handy, so he tossed it into a small space he had created.

"Holy Lord!" Eight other Abyss Lords from different levels were drawn over and surrounded Huo Yuhao.

"My own is still the best." Huo Yuhao changed the God Sealing back to its original state, clicked on the Frost God of Magic position on it, and an extreme cold air instantly froze the eight Abyss Lords.

"The power of a god! You are a true god! A first-level god! Or... a god-king!" The Abyss Saint King felt fear.

"Who knows?" Huo Yuhao lit up the "World" soul ring he had obtained by contracting the Douluo plane, completely connecting the two worlds.

"Don't come any closer!" The Abyss Saint King was horrified, but Huo Yuhao's hand had already gripped his head tightly. Under the irresistible force, he was forced to break through the barrier between two planes, traveling from the Abyss all the way to Douluo Star.

Instantly, the oppression of the entire plane squeezed his body and soul from all directions.

Huo Yuhao's divine artifact, Fengshen, transformed into a magical gun, aiming at the immobilized Abyss Saint King and the Abyss Plane behind him.

Before the gun barrel, nine complex and magnificent soul rings were stacked one on top of another, and Huo Yuhao began to chant.

"I am the culprit."

"The Supreme and Almighty Ruler."

"My present, past, and future, the forbidden power that transcends all things."

"You are commanded by me, and you respond to me."

"To destroy the abyss."

"Burn everything."

"Explode!"

The ultimate explosive magic, containing the divine power of nine massive soul rings, instantly pierced through the Abyss Saint King and entered the Abyss Plane.

With a deafening roar, the Abyss Saint King's body exploded in mid-air. The terrifying explosion shattered everything within the Abyss Plane, purifying it into a state perfectly suited for the Douluo Plane to absorb.

"Ha, what filthy fireworks." Huo Yuhao laughed. The Douluo plane was already thirstily devouring the energy of the Abyss plane, and the entire plane's structure was evolving rapidly once again.

"However, who exactly created this abyssal plane?" Under Huo Yuhao's spiritual eye, an invisible line connects the shattered abyssal plane to the depths of the universe.

He saw a dark red world, even larger than the Abyss Plane, with a deep red demonic shadow residing within it.

The dark red demonic figure trembled, seemingly sensing Huo Yuhao's observation, and instantly severed the invisible thread, shielding him.

"They actually ran away." Huo Yuhao withdrew his gaze. That place was too far from the Douluo plane, and given that such a powerful person had taken the initiative to hide, it would be difficult for him to find them.

Shaking his head, Huo Yuhao turned to leave.

“Wait, God!” an urgent voice called out to him.

Following the sound, they saw a giant tentacle monster with a bunch of tentacles.

"Evil Eye Tyrant? Why aren't you staying in your own forest? What do you want with me?" Huo Yuhao looked at the one-eyed tentacle monster strangely, who actually called him a god.

"God, take me away!" the Evil Eye Tyrant pleaded desperately.

"..."

Huo Yuhao pushed away the tentacles that were sticking to him with disgust. "Stop calling me a god. I am a person with talents that surpass those of gods. What exactly do you want?"

The Evil Emperor's single eye was still filled with longing; he had witnessed Huo Yuhao's slaying of the Abyss Saint and the casting of magic.

The application of that spiritual power, the power originating from the soul, that divine realm—these were things he had sought for over 700,000 years without success.

He doesn't understand.

As a spirit-attribute soul beast who had never met a match in terms of mental strength, he couldn't understand at all what kind of great Dao was contained within that huge, deep blue soul ring.

And that eerie eyeball that resembled a spirit ring—just one glance was enough to completely captivate him.

want to!

But the Evil Emperor would never dare to even consider the idea of ​​possessing another's body.

The horrific scene of the Abyss Saint King's explosion was still fresh in his mind. Given the difference in their abilities, Huo Yuhao could probably wipe him out with a flick of his wrist.

"If... if I could reach that realm, I would do anything!" The Evil Emperor had lost his mind for a moment, and all that remained in his single eye was an uncontrollable fervor for seeking the Dao.

The Evil Eye Tyrant spread out all its tentacles, its enormous pupils lowered, and it made a gesture of submission.

"Beast Taming Contract, let it become your tamed beast!" The Evil Emperor was already familiar with the Beast Taming Contract that had emerged between humans and soul beasts in recent years.

Becoming Huo Yuhao's contracted beast might be his best chance to come into contact with the Great Dao.

"Even if you say that, I no longer need to contract with spirit beasts." Although contracting as many spirit beasts as I have now wouldn't be a burden, it wouldn't bring any additional benefits either. I'm already strong enough.

We've already made a contract with the Douluo Continent world, so what's one or two more soul beasts?

"Please...please! I have a use for it. Oh, right, I also have this..." As he spoke, he unhesitatingly sliced ​​open his single eye with one of his tentacles, blood gushing out, and dug out a dark blue eye-shaped soul bone.

"An external soul bone?" Huo Yuhao became somewhat interested.

"This soul bone is formed from my very essence, and my most powerful soul skill, Light of Time and Space, is also within it. I offer this soul bone to you, asking only for an opportunity to seek the Dao! I am at your service, at your beck and call." The Evil Emperor seemed to have become a fanatical believer, his single eye, now gaping open, gazing up at Huo Yuhao.

Huo Yuhao used his mental power to control the external soul bone of the eyeball to float up, and then slowly flew back into the eye of the Evil Eye Tyrant.

"Hahaha, such a heart for seeking the Dao is indeed worthy of praise." Huo Yuhao laughed, then lightly tapped his fingertip, and a beast taming contract was placed on the Evil Eye Tyrant.

"I have passed on all my knowledge of spiritual cultivation to you. How much you learn is up to you. From now on, focus on your cultivation and do not harm anyone."

Having enlightened the Evil Emperor, Huo Yuhao turned and left.

Feeling the divine power surging into his soul and merging with his own, the Evil Emperor, who remained in place, stared blankly in the direction Huo Yuhao had left. Then he closed his single eye and lowered his eighty-one tentacles as if in worship.

……

……

"The Douluo Continent should get stronger and stronger from now on." Floating slowly in the air, Huo Yuhao sensed the concentration of the spiritual energy of heaven and earth constantly increasing.

Although it's still not as good as the valley where they melted ice, it's on a completely different level compared to the Douluo Continent of the past. Huo Yuhao thought that when the plane is upgraded to the point where it can generate immortal spiritual energy on its own, it should be considered to have reached the level of a small god realm.

"The Light of Time and Space that the Evil Eye comprehended on its own is indeed commendable." A dark blue light shone from Huo Yuhao's spiritual eyes, which was the Light of Time and Space soul skill from the Evil Eye Tyrant.

In the blink of an eye, the soul skill was withdrawn again.

"Ah, we've arrived." Huo Yuhao floated over the capital of the Douluo Federation.

That is, the original Ming capital.

"Those sea spirit beasts, daring to attack merchant ships!" In the office of the Federation Leader's Mansion, Bai Zhen slammed a stack of documents onto the table, then conjured a small piece of ice and placed it on her head to cool it down.

The next moment, Huo Yuhao was already sitting on the sofa behind her.

"Haha, Bai Zhen, governing a country must be tiring."

"Master!" Bai Zhen's anger turned to joy, and she immediately ran to Huo Yuhao's side. "It's nothing, Master. It's just a minor incident. Although the sea spirit beasts have been causing some trouble recently, our ship is now equipped with upgraded new soul tools, and there are also some sea spirit beasts willing to befriend humans to help us. Generally speaking, there will be no casualties, at most some property losses."

"Well, how's the ship I'm building coming along?" Huo Yuhao had previously given the design blueprints to Jing Hongchen, asking him to lead the Soul Master team, including Kong Mingde, Xuan Ziwen, Fan Yu, and He Caitou, to build it. He wondered how the progress was.

"The progress is very fast, and it is expected to be completed by the end of this month," Bai Zhen nodded.

"As expected of a team of genius soul masters, let's set off for the New World at the end of this month." Huo Yuhao said with anticipation.

The Age of Exploration had arrived.

Although with his teleportation magic, he could teleport from Douluo Continent to that new continent in an instant.

But that only applies to himself. If he wants to transform the land, he would need to bring a much larger population, which would be tens of thousands of ordinary people. They are not strong and durable soul masters, and they simply cannot withstand the unstable teleportation arrays.

Designing and building such a large and stable long-distance teleportation magic circle presents challenges in terms of materials and time.

"You're level 90." Huo Yuhao could tell Bai Zhen's cultivation level.

"Yes, I've just been too busy and haven't had time to find a soul beast to contract with yet," Bai Zhen said with a smile, and then a white moth flew onto her shoulder.

It is a ten-thousand-year-old ice moth, and its appearance is like a low-end version of the Heavenly Dream Ice Moth.

"Oh, so that thousand-year-old ice silkworm really did evolve successfully."

Bai Zhen once formed a contract with a thousand-year-old ice silkworm under Huo Yuhao's guidance. Through long-term joint cultivation, it grew to the level of ten thousand years. Later, Huo Yuhao tried to replicate the evolution path of the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm and helped this ice silkworm spin a cocoon. Now it has finally broken out of the cocoon.

"Still a bit short of 100,000 years. Come on, Master will help you get a 100,000-year soul ring. Higher cultivation levels will also make your thinking faster." After saying that, Huo Yuhao casually tossed out a teleportation portal.

…………

The next second, the two had arrived in the far north.

"Just tell your master what kind of soul beast you want to contract. Ice Jade Scorpion, Titan Snow Demon, anything is fine." Huo Yuhao was quite satisfied with his first disciple and wanted to fulfill her wishes as much as possible.

"Can I really choose whatever I want?!" Bai Zhen was overjoyed.

Her martial spirit was originally an ordinary block of ice, but now, with the support of Huo Yuhao's cultivation techniques, it has evolved into an iceberg.

"Hmm..." Bai Zhen hesitated, unable to make up her mind.

"Ice Emperor Xiaoxue, come out and help introduce us." Huo Yuhao summoned two locals who were most familiar with the far north.

The scene changes,

"Look at this, this is the Titan Snow Demon King Atai, who is 300,000 years old. Legend has it that he is a hybrid descendant of the ancient Ice God and the Titan Giant. I personally recommend him." Standing on a snow-capped mountaintop, the Ice Emperor pointed at the Titan Snow Demon King's nose.

"?"

The Titan Snow Demon King's blue-faced, fanged face was full of doubt, but he quieted down when he saw the Snow Empress beside him.

Bai Zhen shook her head repeatedly, refusing outright.
