Douluo: Dragon King Huo Yuhao Lives Ten Thousand Years Later

Chapter 258 From this day forward, you are the Holy Son of my sect!
The void rippled like water, and a green skull appeared from it. The Bone Dragon Douluo was startled upon seeing it.
"Lord Ghost Emperor, what's wrong with you...?"

He came in person?

Before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted by the Ghost Emperor's voice.

"If I hadn't come, could you have handled this?"

The green skull glanced indifferently at Bone Dragon Douluo, staring until Bone Dragon Douluo lowered his head in shame, before turning back to Huo Yuhao and praising him with a smile:
"It's truly impressive that a Soul Emperor can fight a Super Douluo to this extent."

Huo Yuhao stared at the skull, his expression gradually becoming serious.

Ghost Emperor, also known as the Nine Ghost Kings, is a quasi-god of the control type. He is one of the two emperors of the Holy Spirit Cult in the original work, and his strength ranks among the top in Limit Douluo.

Excluding those who cheated or broke through to god-level in some aspect, the Ghost Emperor's cultivation has already reached its peak.

His death was rather bizarre; he was killed by the Holy Spirit Douluo's self-destruction, resurrection, and then self-destruction again. But that doesn't mean he was weak.

The death of the Ghost Emperor was equivalent to two demigods sacrificing their lives for it. Compared to the Abyss Emperor who perished with Wu Changkong, the Ghost Emperor's prestige was at least preserved.

If it weren't just a clone in front of him, he would have called for help or used his trump card.

Seeing that Huo Yuhao's expression was solemn but showed no fear or timidity, the Ghost Emperor's appreciation for him grew even more. Without further ado, he took action without hesitation.

The green skull suddenly spewed out a plume of green smoke. Wherever the smoke passed, even the space itself emitted a hissing, corrosive sound.

The Ghost Emperor had witnessed Huo Yuhao's previous battle with Bone Dragon Douluo. Huo Yuhao was able to remain undefeated because he relied on his superior spatial power compared to Bone Dragon Douluo. However, if Huo Yuhao faced a Limit Douluo clone who also had a deep understanding of spatial power, he would not be able to suppress him.

Sure enough, when Huo Yuhao tried to use spatial power to dodge the attack, he found that the surrounding space was like solidified amber, completely unshakable.

The Ghost Emperor's voice, like a chilling wind from the depths of hell, echoed eerily, "You're still too green to play with space before me. Even if your mastery of spatial power rivals mine, your current weak cultivation makes you no match for me."

As soon as he finished speaking, the green poisonous fog was already close at hand, and Huo Yuhao could even smell the nauseating stench of decay within it.

Even more terrifying, the skull's eyes kept flashing with an eerie green light, and waves of mental shocks came like a tide, causing his consciousness to become somewhat sluggish.

However, as Huo Yuhao's eyes flashed with brilliant golden light, the Ghost Emperor's mental attack was instantly neutralized by him.

The two men's spiritual power clashed like needles against wheat awns, creating invisible sparks in the void. At first, neither could gain the upper hand, but as time went on, the battlefield gradually tilted in Huo Yuhao's favor.

The Ghost Emperor's skull clone was primarily composed of spiritual power, and due to the suppression, it swayed slightly and looked at Huo Yuhao with some surprise.

Although he only diverted a portion of his power, his mental strength was still at the Spirit Domain level, and as a Limit Douluo, his control over mental strength was unmatched by ordinary Soul Masters.

Even if Huo Yuhao was also at the Spirit Domain Realm, it shouldn't have been so easy to stop his spiritual power, not to mention that Huo Yuhao was gradually gaining the upper hand in the contest of spiritual power...

"Is the other party's mental control stronger than his?" The Ghost Emperor looked at Huo Yuhao thoughtfully, finding it amusing.

After succeeding, if I have time, I must study their "holy son" carefully.

Thinking this, the Ghost Emperor glanced at the Bone Dragon Douluo beside him.

"What are you waiting for? Hurry up and make your move!"

"Yes, Lord Ghost Emperor!"

Bone Dragon Douluo was taken aback at first, then immediately reacted. The Soul-Seizing Eye, which he had carefully guarded, appeared on his forehead in the blink of an eye, emitting an eerie light, with gray light brewing within it.

Seeing this, Huo Yuhao felt a rare sense of crisis. He did not ignore this premonition and immediately took action. His fourth spirit ring, which he had never used in front of outsiders, suddenly shone brightly.

The instant the Soul-Seizing Eye emitted its eerie light, Huo Yuhao's eyes suddenly rippled with dark golden light. He raised his hand and pressed down, unleashing an invisible wave that spread outwards, covering an area of ​​a hundred meters in radius around his body.

In an instant, the space within a radius of a hundred meters was like glass being crushed by an invisible giant hand, with distorted gray-white light seeping out from the cracks.

Domain-level Soul Skill: Time Disruption!
Huo Yuhao made a response, and the Ghost Emperor naturally wouldn't just stand by and watch. He also made a move to further restrict Huo Yuhao, but his attack and strange stream of light became unusually slow after falling into that distorted space, as if they had fallen into a swamp!
"This is... a time-based soul skill?" For the first time, the Ghost Emperor's tone carried surprise and doubt.

Huo Yuhao's mental and spatial abilities had already shocked him, and now he had actually revealed a trump card like the Time Soul Skill. How many more surprises would his opponent bring him?
After the initial surprise, the Ghost Emperor looked at the eerie stream of light that continued to advance within his domain and chuckled softly, "What a pity. If you had used this soul skill to escape before I arrived, you might have had a chance to escape this calamity. Now, you have nowhere to retreat!"

The two one-time artifacts researched by the Holy Spirit Cult have different characteristics. The Soul-Stealing Eye, as a mental attack type artifact, possesses most of the basic characteristics of mental attacks.

Mental attacks are mostly extremely fast and difficult to dodge, and the Soul-Stealing Eye also has this characteristic.

Therefore, this one-time use artifact is much more useful than the Demon God Sword. As long as the enemy is within the user's field of vision or mental perception range, it can lock onto the opponent.

This is also the main reason why the Holy Spirit Church entrusted this artifact to Bone Dragon Douluo.

After all, with Bone Dragon Douluo's mastery of spatial power, he should have no problem keeping Huo Yuhao within his mental perception at all times, which would be enough to deal with all kinds of emergencies.

But Huo Yuhao defies common sense.

He was more adept at manipulating spatial power than Bone Dragon Douluo, and could disappear into the void from time to time, making him impossible to lock onto. This made Bone Dragon Douluo, who was worried about exposing his trump cards, he dare not act rashly and instead decided to wage a war of attrition, waiting for him to find an opportunity to strike.

Now that the Ghost Emperor has come in person and sealed off the surrounding space, could there be a better opportunity?
Bone Dragon Douluo watched as the strange stream of light, though slow, continued to approach Huo Yuhao, and a hint of joy appeared on his face.

"Lord Huo Yuhao, there is no need to resist. The control of the Soul-Seizing Eye is perfect. As long as you are exposed to its radiance, even a Limit Douluo at the peak of the Spirit Domain Realm will become a member of our Holy Spirit Cult."

"With your cultivation and strength, you cannot withstand its divine might. Accept it with peace of mind. From now on, you are the Holy Son of our sect!"
