Douluo Continent: When Huo Yuhao Becomes the Lord of the End

Chapter 148 A mirage, a fleeting dream, a thousand fleeting dreams!
Three days later.

Beside Huo Yuhao, who had adjusted his state, was a magical herb, the Dew of Ten Thousand Years of Longing, whose consciousness had been erased and whose essence had been absorbed by him.

That's right. For his fifth soul ring, he decided to try absorbing a soul beast at the 100,000-year level. Going out to hunt souls would just be a waste of time, since there were already some available right in front of him. The Spiritual attribute Soul Ring, the Soul Ring, was undoubtedly one of the best choices.

This spiritual herb is a perfect match for his situation in every way, and with the essence he had previously obtained, it is enough to become his fifth spirit ring.

Poison Immortal, who was preparing to protect the Dharma, couldn't help but sigh as he watched this scene.

This place is truly an unprecedented treasure land. Not only can these immortal herbs condense into precious medicines, but they can also produce soul rings and soul bones that are ten thousand years old, which is comparable to the sacrifice of soul beasts.

Most importantly, these immortal herbs can still be used after absorbing the 100,000-year soul ring and soul bone.

It's somewhat similar to the death of a soul beast, where, after a soul beast dies, its soul rings and soul bones are absorbed, but its physical body remains intact.

It's just unknown how much medicinal power and use these immortal herbs, which have had their soul rings and soul bones absorbed, will still have.

He didn't realize at the time that Gu Yuena had so easily erased the consciousness of these immortal herbs. Otherwise, if he wanted to make these guys obey with words, it would have been a lot of trouble, and it wouldn't have been as simple as it is now.

Oh, it's been so long! Although these domesticated 'pigs' are supposedly pure and innocent, they're not exactly virtuous.

Over the years, the entire Sunset Forest has been ravaged by the surrounding Jade Phosphorous Seven Wonders Flowers, and it's possible that these magical herbs played a part in it.

Because Wang Chuan Qiu Shui Lu had lost consciousness, Huo Yuhao directly extinguished her last instincts. A 100,000-year-old soul ring appeared, which Huo Yuhao slowly pulled to his side and began to absorb.

After absorbing the essence of several immortal herbs and greatly improving his Ice and Fire Refined Body and mental strength, his physical and mental qualities already met the requirements for absorbing a 100,000-year soul ring. Moreover, since Wang Chuan Qiu Shui Lu was still unconscious, the whole process was no different from a soul beast sacrifice.

Perhaps because of the essence of the Dew of Longing for Autumn Water he had absorbed earlier, this 100,000-year-old soul ring not only did not resist, but also took the initiative to begin to merge with him. The process was so smooth that even Huo Yuhao had not expected it.

Although Du Busi had examined his disciple's body and confirmed that he was indeed capable of absorbing a 100,000-year soul ring, he still couldn't help but feel somewhat worried now that it had actually happened.

A 100,000-year spirit ring! Throughout history, who has ever been able to absorb a spirit ring of this age on their fifth spirit ring? At the very least, he has never seen one.

Therefore, he kept a close eye on his disciple with constant worry, fearing that something unexpected might happen during the process.

In case, in case it doesn't work, he can interrupt in time to prevent irreparable damage.

Under these circumstances, Huo Yuhao spent several hours finally absorbing the 100,000-year-old soul ring. As he expected, the whole process went incredibly smoothly.

Not only was there no pain, but there was also no interference from the souls of spirit beasts. Resentment, what is that?
He opened his eyes, and it seemed as if time was rewinding within his pupils; his spiritual power was almost materializing.

Black, black, black, black, red—five spirit rings appeared one after another. The proportions were so outrageous that even Poison Undying couldn't help but gasp. It was far too much. Compared to his own disciple, he had struggled so much to break through to level 99. It was simply pathetic.

"How's it going, Yuhao? How's your soul skill?"

Now it's time for the essential introduction to Soul Skills.

Huo Yuhao raised his hand, sensing the two soul skills that belonged exclusively to the 100,000-year level, and smiled as he slowly spoke.

"A very good soul skill."

"The first soul skill is called [Mirror Flower Water Moon]. The effect of the soul skill is: it can condense countless spatial mirrors with mental power. Each mirror can reflect mental power and reflect the illusions arranged to form a virtual world. By manipulating it, it can switch between reality and illusion at will, causing the enemy to fall into a 'mental maze'."

"At the same time, if someone trapped in the illusion is attacked by the mirror, their mental energy will be forcibly frozen for three seconds, depriving them of their sense of time and space and their senses. This effect and the duration of the freeze will decrease with higher-level targets, but will also be stronger with lower-level targets."

In terms of tactical value, this soul skill can be described as the ultimate combination of crowd control and single-target damage.

The soul skill has high development potential. It can not only be linked with the field-type soul skill "Mental Interference Field", but also combined with "Mental Concentration Impact" to cause permanent mental trauma to the enemy when they are trapped in an illusion.

The spatial mirror can not only add mental power, but also ultimate ice, depriving the enemy of their senses while freezing them with ultimate ice.

If you're even bolder, you can hide the Ice Explosion spell inside the mirror. This means injecting the ice attribute energy of the Ice Explosion spell into the mirror and fusing it with the mirror to form an Ice Mirror. This is a mirror that combines ice and mental attributes. When the mirror breaks, it triggers a chain reaction of explosions, creating a nested effect.

As his strength and mental power grow, this soul skill will become even more powerful. Once it reaches a certain level, it can completely trap all creatures that suffer from this soul skill in an eternal dream.

Of course, the prerequisite for the Eternal Illusion is that the opponent is weak enough. If the opponent is strong, this soul skill can only trap them in a short-term illusion, temporarily depriving them of their sense of time and space and their senses. It is unrealistic to trap the enemy permanently.

But that's enough. Sometimes, in a battle between strong individuals, depriving them of a few seconds of perception and trapping them in an illusion is essentially no different from forcing them to surrender.

He also has a fourth soul skill, which allows him to briefly foresee the past and future. If he becomes his enemy, his opponents have no chance at all. It's almost like having his cards revealed, and they can't use any of his trump cards.

"The second soul skill of the fifth soul ring is called Dewy Thousand Machines. This soul skill can freeze the target's thought nodes and has absolute validity."

"The duration of the forced freeze varies with the disciple's mental strength. At the same time, all enemy units within the range will fall into a 'mental stagnation' state, with a certain probability of causing the enemy's soul to become disordered, and the damage is irreversible." A crowd control + single-target damage counter-soul skill, an absolutely guaranteed soul skill similar to an invincible golden body, very good.

Moreover, Lu Jin Qian Ji can still be combined with Ultimate Ice, freezing the body and freezing the spirit with the soul skill, directly forming absolutely effective control. If combined with Ice Explosion, wow.

Poison-ineffective is speechless, but the benefits are clearly more than that.

"Teacher, thanks to the essence of those immortal herbs, my soul power level has now reached level sixty."

"However, I want to take some time to settle down and I'm not in a hurry to attach the sixth spirit ring now."

This also includes the amplification from a 100,000-year-old soul ring, but that's common knowledge and doesn't need to be explained.

Poison Undying nodded. Yes, he was happy, but he also felt that his disciple had leveled up too quickly. It had only been a short time since he absorbed his fourth soul ring, and he had already gone from level 44 to level 60. It was time to take a break for a while.

"Hmm, I have a secret technique here for absorbing poisonous spiritual energy. You can take it and use it."

Since there are so many Azure Phosphorous Seven Absolute Flowers in the outer area, and the Body Sect's spiritual absorption secret technique specifically requires these resources, there is no reason to waste them.

Since his disciples already possess several ultimate attributes, perhaps they can also utilize the toxins outside, just like he did, to obtain ultimate poison attributes.

In the past, he might have been a little worried, since the toxicity of those seven-colored poisonous miasma was really too strong. But now that he has treasures like the Fragrant Silk Immortal Item and the Heart of Silk to neutralize the poison, there is nothing to worry about.

In addition, their disciples have developed golden bodies through training in the Ice and Fire Spring, making them immune to ice and fire damage, and they can now bathe in the spring.

The poison of ice and fire, formed by the fusion of extreme yin and yang spiritual energies in these environments, can also be absorbed and combined with the Seven Absolute Flowers of Azure Phosphorus outside.
The ultimate poison—it took me breaking through level 99 to raise my own innate poison to its limit. I never expected that my disciple would have the opportunity to achieve this now.

As if remembering something, Du Busi took out a dazzling head soul bone from his storage soul tool.

"This is that immortal herb, the spiritual skull produced by the Dew of Longing for Autumn Water that you just absorbed, Yuhao. Do you want to absorb it now?"

Huo Yuhao shook his head, not intending to absorb it, for no other reason than that he looked down on some of them.

“Teacher, I plan to leave this soul bone to you. He needs this 100,000-year-old soul bone more than I do.”

There's no need to absorb a soul bone like the "Looking Through Autumn Water Dew," which is only at the 100,000-year level, given such an important position as the head soul bone. It would be better to give it to one's own teacher, Kong Deming.

Of the two teachers, Du Busi has already reached level 99, and his three 100,000-year soul rings ensure that he has no shortage of 100,000-year soul bones, and there is no vacancy in the head soul bone position.

However, his teacher Kong Deming has been stuck at level 94. If he can absorb this soul bone later, he can make up for the deficiencies in his physical and mental strength.

In addition, with the help of the Qiluo Tulip Immortal Item to improve the efficiency of Soul Masters in absorbing the Yuan Power of Heaven and Earth, as well as its effect on the evolution of Martial Souls, their teacher may well be able to reach level 95 or even 96, and elevate the attributes of the first Martial Soul, Moon, to the ultimate level.

At that time, with the improvement of his mental strength and soul power, his teacher Kong Deming will also be able to become a true level 10 soul master and rank among the top experts on the continent.

It should be noted that in the original route, Kong Deming, who truly advanced to become a level 10 Soul Master, suppressed Xuanzi, who was already level 99, with just a level 10 Soul Tool, and was also able to restrain Ye Xishui without showing any signs of weakness. If he were level 96 or even higher, it would be unimaginable.

Moreover, if you combine that with a teacher who's already at level 99, you won't die from poison.
Shrek?
Holy Spirit Cult?
When the two strongest forces join forces, neither can possibly prevail!

Poison Undying never expected his own disciple to say that. You must know that this is a 100,000-year-old soul bone, a supreme treasure. Countless people would even fight tooth and nail for such a thing, yet his own disciple was so indifferent.

He even felt that his own disciple was somewhat disgusted with this soul bone. No, now even a 100,000-year-old soul bone is being looked down upon? That's not right, is it?

I sighed inwardly, feeling somewhat annoyed but also relieved.

I was annoyed by Kong Deming, but relieved by Yuhao's understanding.

It's fine to leave it to that old man Kong. Anyway, I've already reached level 99 and have no regrets in this life. It's actually a good thing that my disciple has such thoughts. It's just a good thing for that old man.

He was also curious whether, with the help of this 100,000-year-old soul bone and the subsequent immortal herbs, that old fellow Kong Deming could go further and become a Super Douluo, or even a true level 10 Soul Master.

If we can develop a level 10 soul tool later, just like the level 9 soul tool on that old guy, and unleash a barrage of firepower, hey, no one could withstand that.

A level nine soul tool is already excessive; even a single explosion would make a Super Douluo extremely wary. If it were a level ten soul tool bomb, it would wipe out a large number of Super Douluos in one fell swoop, like harvesting grain.

Of course, Super Douluo isn't that stupid; he wouldn't just stand there doing nothing and take a level 10 soul guide bomb, but his deterrent power is definitely not to be underestimated.

At that time, no one will dare to easily provoke Kong Deming, that level 10 Soul Master. If someone were to secretly launch an attack on their stronghold, wouldn't their foundation be completely destroyed in an instant?
