Douluo: Dragon King Huo Yuhao Lives Ten Thousand Years Later

Chapter 257 Passionate Lover VS Ghost Emperor
Facing the Ghost Emperor, a quasi-god, the Amorous Douluo naturally dared not be careless and directly unleashed his full power.

With a gentle flick of his crystalline longsword, the Amorous Douluo caused a thin layer of mist to rise in the air. This seemingly slow mist was actually spreading outwards at an extremely rapid speed.

The God Realm Douluo, who was far from the battlefield, suddenly felt the air around him become incredibly viscous, as if he were sinking into an invisible swamp. His speed decreased sharply, and he couldn't help but frown.

Is it a field?
All three-word battle armors and above possess a unique domain, and the current Amorous Douluo is using his battle armor domain—"Amorousness Since Ancient Times, Only Regret Remains."

Possessing the Martial Soul of the Amorous Sword, one might expect the Amorous Douluo to be a power-attack type Soul Master, but in reality, he is a true Mind Control type Soul Master. He has even earned the title of the continent's number one Mind Control Master within the Douluo Federation.

Those powerful figures in the Douluo Federation who had fought against the Amorous Douluo generally agreed that while he might not be the strongest among the Limit Douluos they knew, he was definitely the opponent they least wanted to face. The reason was simple: the soul skills he chose were... utterly disgusting!
His soul skills are not as powerful as other offensive Limit Douluos, but once someone gets entangled with him, it's like encountering a piece of chewing gum; getting rid of him is almost impossible.

"Love is always accompanied by regret" is one of the most troublesome abilities of the Amorous Douluo. It is an extremely powerful, large-scale support domain. Within this domain, any attack method will be weakened, and its speed will be greatly reduced. As for the degree of weakening, it is closely related to the cultivation level of the Soul Master trapped in the domain.

The Ghost Emperor glanced at the domain with considerable interest, showing no intention of escaping this troublesome area. In an instant, a green skull appeared beside him, its mouth wide open, and green flames poured down on the Amorous Douluo like a cascading river.

A hint of seriousness flashed in the eyes of the Amorous Douluo. Facing the Ghost Emperor, a quasi-god level being, he dared not be careless in the slightest. The deathly aura contained in that green flame would corrode even the soul of a demigod who was touched by it.

Sixth Soul Skill - Entangled Love.

The crystalline longsword in his hand trembled slightly, its blade tracing a mysterious trajectory. Thousands of fine, hair-like water lines intertwined in front of him, forming a massive net. Green flames struck the water net, hissing and corroding, but the water lines, like living things, continuously regenerated and coiled, forcefully weakening the impact of the flames layer by layer.

"interesting."

Seeing this, the Ghost Emperor clenched his right hand in the air, and the green skull suddenly expanded. The light flames spewing from its mouth instantly increased several times, and it even seemed to break through the water net!

The Amorous Douluo stepped back slightly, his eyes flashing as he activated his fifth soul skill.

In an instant, his figure became ethereal, as if merging with the surrounding mist. The green flames pierced his body, but struck only a phantom, causing no harm. The next instant, however, the Amorous Douluo followed the energy trajectory of the flames upstream, appearing directly beside the Ghost Emperor!

Fifth Soul Skill - Tracing Back!
Tracing Back: Once in Tracing Back state, he becomes instantly immune to all forms of energy attacks. Furthermore, when an energy attack strikes his body, the Tracing Back effect activates immediately, instantly appearing before the attacker along the trajectory of the energy attack!
Normally, approaching a powerful figure like the Ghost Emperor wouldn't be a good choice, but in the short term, the Amorous Douluo was confident he could escape unscathed from the Ghost Emperor.

Seeing the Ghost Emperor approaching and emanating a terrifying aura, the Amorous Douluo's eyes turned serious, and his first spirit ring suddenly lit up.

"once!"

The Ghost Emperor frowned. Even with his peak Spirit Realm spiritual power, he was affected and lost in his past memories.

Time seemed to flow backward, and the Ghost Emperor's original action of raising his hand to counterattack was abruptly pulled back to the starting point.

Once, it evoked the purest emotions deep within my heart, a heart-stirring experience like first love... Well, although the Amorous Douluo likes to use literary language to describe his soul skills, the actual combat effect at this moment is simple and brutal—it instantly reverts all actions to a second ago!
Many powerful figures know that the Amorous Douluo likes to trace back to the past, but even if they know this, they have no way to counter it, because the "past" soul skill is difficult to deal with.

After all, no matter what you do, your actions will revert to what they were a second ago, making everything you do futile.

Fortunately, when the Amorous Douluo uses his "Past" skill, he himself is affected by his emotions and unable to attack. Furthermore, this soul skill can only be used to rewind actions, not states. Otherwise, this move would truly be unsolvable. Crucially, this is the Amorous Douluo's first soul skill, his very first soul skill…

It can only be said that the monsters in this version of Douluo Continent III are mostly from the older generation.

"remorse!"

After the effect of his Soul Skill disappeared, the Amorous Douluo used his third Soul Skill.

As the name suggests, this soul skill can influence the mind of others, making them recall their regretful past.

However, the Ghost Emperor was completely unaffected by this mental attack that struck straight at his mind.

"Don't try to show off this kind of soul skill in front of me."

Countless mournful cries echoed in the void, and distorted, ghostly faces emerged from the black mist. The Amorous Douluo felt a sudden surge of negative emotions flooding his mind—despair, pain, regret, resentment… These emotions assaulted his mental defenses like a tidal wave.

The Amorous Douluo let out a muffled groan and staggered backward.

The Ghost Emperor gave him no chance to breathe. Pale white flames erupted beneath his feet, spreading wildly and beginning to erode the boundaries of the "Love Has Always Been Filled with Regret" domain. Simultaneously, he formed hand seals, and eight ferocious ghost king phantoms appeared behind him, each radiating terrifying pressure—

The temperature in the world plummeted, and countless wronged souls surged out of the void, emitting mournful howls. The domain of the Amorous Douluo was immediately suppressed and began to shrink continuously.

However, the Amorous Douluo was not alarmed by the suppression he was under.

The gap between a quasi-god and a demigod is indeed quite large, but it's not so easy for a quasi-god to defeat a demigod. Moreover, for some reason, he always felt that the Ghost Emperor's cultivation level did not match the aura he sensed, and the power of his soul skills was not as strong as he had imagined.

The Ghost Emperor's cultivation had reached its limit at the Quasi-God level, a world apart from those who had just entered the Quasi-God realm. The Amorous Douluo had seen several such Quasi-Gods; if their strength were measured against demigods, at least three demigods would be needed to contend with such a peak Quasi-God.

Therefore, he knew that his opponent's strength was definitely more than that, and that he shouldn't be able to fight him on equal terms...

Does he really want to pin the blame on himself?
The story of "The Amorous Douluo" doesn't seem so simple.

……

Huo Yuhao glanced at the distant battlefield of the extreme, then suddenly turned his gaze to the void beside him.

"Now that you're here, why hide?"

A soft laugh echoed from the void, "Such keen perception. At such a young age, your spiritual power has already reached the Spirit Realm. You do indeed have a chance to approach the God Realm. At least in terms of spiritual power, your chances of entering the Divine Origin Realm are higher than mine."
