Douluo 2: This Dragon God has too much martial virtue

Chapter 617 Jogress
Rong Nianbing stared at the halo that appeared behind Huo Yuhao and Fu Rui, his eyes full of disbelief.

The halos emanating from their backs were even more dazzling than the seven halos of his own as a first-level deity! Their halos contained eight clear divine rings, and there was even a ninth, extremely faint, and mysterious halo that slowly swirled around them.

Seven halos represent a first-level deity, while nine halos symbolize the realm of a god-king. These two young people, who have just completed their divine inheritance, have already touched the threshold of a half-step god-king?

"Is this right?" Rong Nianbing's voice trembled. He, the God of Emotions, had a first-level deity's inheritance directly create a half-step God-King? This inconceivable thing completely overturned his understanding of divine inheritance.

The faintly visible ninth halo clearly held a more fundamental aura of laws, transcending emotion. Perhaps it was the unique bond of fate between Huo Yuhao and Fu Rui, as well as the transcendental nature of the Emperor's auspicious beast, that produced the unexpected qualitative change in the divine throne's succession.

Furthermore, this Half-Step Divine King realm is likely only a temporary appearance, due entirely to the fact that the new god has just been born and their godhead has yet to be fully established. It is foreseeable that after several years of consolidating their realm within the Divine Realm, the ninth divine ring will inevitably become tangible. At that point, their ascension to true Divine King status will be virtually certain.

Thinking of this, Rong Nianbing couldn't help but gasp. He had only been carrying out the divine succession according to the rules, but by some strange coincidence, he had created an unprecedented miracle.

Rong Nianbing briefly explained their current special situation to Huo Yuhao and Fu Rui. Suddenly, Huo Yuhao seemed to have a flash of inspiration and asked in a tone of inquiry, "Senior, Fu Rui and I have a unique spirit fusion technique. If we fuse our spirits now, is it possible for us to directly reach the true Divine King realm?"

"That makes so much sense!" Rong Nianbing was momentarily speechless. He recalled that not long ago, when he was conducting a background check on Huo Yuhao at the God Realm Committee, he had overheard from several God Kings that the God of War and the God of Speed, who died taking the blame for Tang San, possessed a powerful Martial Soul Fusion Skill before becoming gods. Although they were only second-level gods themselves, the power unleashed after their fusion was comparable to that of a first-level god.

Since even a second-level deity can undergo a qualitative change through the fusion of martial souls... not to mention that the bond between Huo Yuhao and Fu Rui is far beyond what ordinary people can compare to, their connection maintained by the Eye of Destiny might really be able to create a miracle.

And in Huo Yuhao's sea of ​​consciousness, a noisy celebration was taking place at this moment.

Tianmeng Ice Silkworm was so excited that it could hardly contain itself. It hugged Bingdi tightly, crying loudly at one moment and laughing heartily at another, repeating over and over again: "We succeeded! We really succeeded!" Under normal circumstances, Bingdi would have whipped it away with a tail, but at this moment, feeling the majestic and sacred aura of Huo Yuhao's spiritual sea after becoming a god, even this arrogant loli with twin ponytails rarely indulged Tianmeng's loss of composure, and just let him hold her in a slightly stiff manner.

However, this brief moment of warmth did not last long. The Evil Eye Tyrant Overlord, waving its numerous tentacles, rushed over at an alarming speed, its eyes gleaming with excitement. "Brother, give me a hug! Brother, you smell so good!"

"Don't come over here--!" Tianmeng Ice Silkworm let out a sharp scream and instantly let go of Bingdi.

The other spirits were equally overwhelmed with joy and excitement. The most complex of emotions belonged to Huo Yuhao's final spirit, the Illusionary Snake. Cocooned in a corner of the spiritual sea, it felt the leap in its essence that had occurred with its host's divine ascension, its heart awash with emotion. Recalling the gruesome scene in the deep sea, where it had fought desperately against other powerful beasts for the final soul spot, it was now absolutely certain that it had made the most correct and wisest decision of its life.
From a ferocious beast struggling to survive under the heavenly tribulation to a soul accompanying its host to ascend to the realm of gods, and even touching the threshold of godhood, such an encounter far exceeded the wildest imagination Huo Yuhao had initially promised it. Life as a beast was as easy as turning one's hand! The entire sea of ​​spirit was bathed in the radiance of godhood and the jubilant joy of the souls.

After explaining the follow-up matters, Rong Nianbing transformed into a streak of light and returned to the Divine Realm, preparing to report this unprecedented situation to the Divine Realm Committee. After he left, Huo Yuhao and Fu Rui were about to set off to reunite with Mu Xing when a holy figure suddenly descended from the sky.

With her six wings spread, Ye Guyi descended gracefully. She hovered in mid-air, her pristine white feathers swirling with a golden halo, and she cast a scrutinizing gaze upon the two. As a descendant of the Angel God, she possessed an innate keen sense of divine auras. At this moment, she clearly detected the extraordinary divine power lingering around Huo Yuhao and Fu Rui. It was no ordinary fluctuation of soul power, but the aura of someone truly entering the divine realm.

"Are you also chosen by God?" Ye Guyi asked in surprise, with a hint of confusion flashing in his blue eyes.

Huo Yuhao met her inquiring gaze and responded calmly, "It used to be."

These three casually uttered words caused Ye Guyi's pupils to shrink slightly. She keenly sensed the deeper meaning in their words; the other party was not a chosen one like herself, still undergoing trials, but had already completed their transformation and truly joined the ranks of the gods. This realization made her re-examine the young couple before her, and many questions arose in her mind.

Yet, Huo Yuhao frowned slightly. Perhaps it was the innate arrogance bestowed upon him by the dragon bloodline of Mu Xing, or perhaps it was the change in his mindset brought on by his recent arrival at the Divine King realm. He felt a touch of displeasure at Ye Guyi's condescending attitude. He calmly took a half-step forward, standing shoulder to shoulder with Fu Rui. The subtle divine power flowing through him caused subtle ripples in the air around them.

Simply put, he began to forget his roots.

As a leading spiritual master, Huo Yuhao was naturally adept at perceiving people's hearts, and he had also enjoyed a smooth journey under Mu Xing's protection over the years. Ye Guyi, while also a genius, was only the threshold to his abilities. Not to mention that even Qian Gu Jing Yin, even within the Dragon Pavilion, was subject to Mu Xing's orders. As a junior, Ye Guyi, given his status and position, was clearly not in a position to address them in this manner.

"Miss, could you at least come down and stand and talk to us?" Huo Yuhao complained inwardly.

"The successor of the Angel God?" Although Huo Yuhao was complaining internally, his voice was calm, yet it carried a powerful aura that could not be ignored. "It seems that Senior Panlong has chosen a 'good' successor."

Fu Rui's third eye on her forehead opened slightly, the power of destiny flowing within it. Though she remained silent, the aura emanating from her body made her position clear. Since they had already reached this height, they naturally no longer needed to accept any condescending scrutiny from mortals.
