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

Chapter 249 I Heard the Echo of the [Skillful Object] (4K)

Northern part of the Demon Forest, southern plains of the Sun and Moon Mountains.

At this moment, the massive body of the Evil Eye Tyrant Overlord was already covered in wounds, and even his final killing move, the Light of Destruction, could not harm Huo Yuhao in the slightest. The way he looked at Huo Yuhao had completely changed.

"Human, state your purpose."

He lost, and lost miserably.

After fighting this human he couldn't understand, the Evil Emperor was certain that even if he recklessly burned his life force and used the light of time and space that he had used on Di Tian, ​​it would be completely useless against this human.

He seemed like a bottomless pit, making it impossible for him to see the limits.

Extreme mental strength, physical attributes comparable to Di Tian, ​​and dazzling mental skills—each one constantly redefines his understanding.

Challenging himself, simply wanting to fight against himself? He, the Evil Emperor, wasn't that simple-minded.

Huo Yuhao was only slightly out of breath at this moment. It must be said that fighting the Evil Emperor with only his mental power, without using any other abilities, was indeed exhilarating.

"Evil Emperor, I want you to meet some familiar old friends, and then I'd like to invite you to do something big."

As he spoke, the Snow Emperor appeared in the Sea of ​​Spirit.

Upon seeing this Lord of the Far North, even the Evil Emperor's enormous body trembled slightly.

"Snow Emperor!"

He truly hadn't expected that the Ice Ruler of the Far North would actually be found in this human.

Moreover, it seems that the other party may still be led by this human.

How could this be? Not only that, he couldn't sense any spirit ring aura on Xue Di, and her strength was completely different from before, far exceeding his expectations.

The opponent was definitely not the former Lord of the Far North. In terms of the sense of oppression, he even felt that he could be compared with that guy Di Tian.

What happened next sent shivers down the spine of the Evil Emperor.

After Xue Di appeared, Bing Di and Tian Meng also appeared one after another. Bing Di might not have given him the same sense of pressure as Xue Di, but her strength was not much weaker than his own.

As for Tianmeng, he was very familiar with this guy. The reason was simple: when he went to the core area of ​​the Star Dou Great Forest to challenge the Beast God Di Tian, ​​Tianmeng's presence there was one of the reasons for his actions.

How could the Evil Emperor possibly miss out on such a large-scale power bank that only has a limited lifespan but lacks corresponding strength?

They're all soul beasts, so why can those guys in the Star Dou Great Forest enjoy this resource, while he can only watch helplessly as the one who helped him the most, and could even help him break through a million years?

So he challenged Di Tian.

The final result was obvious: he failed.

Upon seeing these three creatures, how could the Evil Emperor not be astonished? His mind was in complete disarray, and he had no idea how this giant white worm had appeared on this human.

It's even more unclear how the Snow Empress and the Ice Empress, the two great rulers of the far north, could appear here, and why they both revere this human.

The eeriness of it is simply indescribable.

By the way, this human said he was invited to do something important. Could this be part of that important matter?

Tianmeng, however, was not as composed as Xue Di and Bing Di. She had long wanted to come out and satirize the Evil Eye Tyrant Ruler.

When she was imprisoned beneath the Lake of Life, she could feel the great battle. If the Evil Emperor could defeat Di Tian, ​​although she might fall from one dangerous situation to another, she would still have a chance to escape.

Unfortunately, the Evil Emperor is not up to par.

With the support of the three powerful figures—the Snow Emperor, the Ice Emperor, and Huo Yuhao—and seeing the Evil Emperor's stunned expression, Tianmeng's tongue immediately became nimble.

"Tsk tsk tsk, isn't this the Evil Emperor, the second-ranked ferocious beast on the continent? After all these years, how come he's become so weak?"

"."

As the Evil Emperor listened to Tianmeng's tirade, even his massive eyelids trembled slightly.

Unlike Tianmeng, Xiedi is known for his spiritual power, but in terms of strength and foundation, even ten Tianmengs combined would not be a match for Xiedi.

While the total amount of the Evil Emperor's spiritual power may not be as great as Tianmeng's, in terms of 'quality,' even a single tentacle of the Evil Emperor could crush Tianmeng.

But there was nothing he could do. Not to mention the human who could overpower him, just looking at the Snow Empress and Ice Empress in front of him, he dared not make a move easily.

So it turns out this human was just teasing me from the very beginning.

You should have said so earlier! If you had said you had the ability and such a powerful background, would I have been fighting you to the death here?

"why?"

Upon hearing this, the Evil Emperor stared directly at the Snow Empress and the Ice Empress. Where was the pride of the rulers of the far north? Why did he make them willingly submit to a human?

Especially Xue Di, even I wouldn't be able to guarantee that I could defeat him directly if he were in the far north, so why would he be willing to help a human like this?

Is it
Before the Evil Emperor could remain confused, the Snow Emperor coldly explained, "In order to create a god, for true immortality."

Of course, their help to Huo Yuhao was not that simple, but in front of the Evil Emperor, this was the simplest explanation.

Gods, eternal life.
The Evil Emperor looked at Huo Yuhao, a glint of light flashing in his eyes. As one of the top soul beasts on the continent, he naturally understood the plight of soul beasts.

At this moment, with Xue Di's concise and clear words, his thoughts couldn't help but recall the magnificent scene of the world changing color ten thousand years ago and ascending to godhood.

That makes sense.

Although soul beasts have a longer lifespan than humans, their shortcomings are also particularly obvious, namely, slow cultivation and inability to become gods.

Even if one cultivates for millions of years, one still cannot escape the constraints of this world. In the end, one is just an ant in this world and will continue to be troubled by heavenly tribulations.

As the second most ferocious beast on the continent, and a being with an age approaching 800,000 years, he could naturally sense the constraints and blockades imposed by the rules of this world.

He knew better than anyone else that even if he cultivated to the point where his strength could rival that of the Emperor, even if he broke through the Heavenly Tribulation of 800,000 or even 900,000 years, he would still be unable to leave this world. This was the rule of this world.

Even though the restrictions on soul beasts in this world are much less now, the rules remain the same.

For ferocious beasts like them, the goals they pursue are naturally higher. Heavenly tribulation is the sword of judgment hanging over their heads, and true immortality is what they strive for.

For the Evil Emperor, Xue Di's words at this moment undoubtedly opened the door to a new world.

Yes, since soul beasts cannot become gods and are at risk of perishing under heavenly tribulations at any time during the long course of time, why not rely on the power of humans?

He could tell that the Snow Empress's current form was not formed as a soul or through sacrifice, but rather as a physical entity attached to a human.

Their strength is even far greater than before, so why am I not good enough? And considering my current situation, it seems that the other party came for this very reason.

He would never be willing to sacrifice himself, only retaining his soul and consciousness, but if he could do what the Snow Emperor did, it might actually be feasible.

Humans from ten thousand years ago have already proven this point, and now the Snow Empress and Ice Empress have taken the lead in reaching this stage. In addition, the human before them is indeed far beyond their understanding of humanity.
If even he cannot become a god.
The Evil Emperor was very clever, or rather, extremely clever. The two sentences he spoke had already made him understand the key points.

He could even guess what role Di Tian played in it.

The promise of immortality made by Tianmeng is not only useful to Bingdi, but also has a fatal attraction for any soul beast that sees hope.

Not to mention that at this moment, the Snow Empress, the Ice Empress, and Tianmeng are all supporting the human in front of them.

The Evil Eye Tyrant felt that even if it failed, it would only be a waste of hundreds of years. As long as there was no threat of his own demise during the process, it didn't seem like a bad idea for him to join in.

Moreover, considering his current situation, it seems he has no choice. Even if he is unwilling, he has no chance of winning against this human kid and will eventually become his spirit ring.

Tianmeng spoke up again at this moment. "Hey, you need to understand this. Yuhao is inviting you to join our God-Making Project. It's a great favor for you. Don't hesitate here."

For Tianmeng, this is no longer the time when she had no choice but to become Yuhao's Wisdom Soul Ring.

Over the past few years, as Yuhao has grown, she has become certain that Yuhao will definitely become a god.

The addition of the Evil Emperor is merely icing on the cake; it wouldn't matter whether he were here or not.

In her mind, it would be more beneficial for the Evil Emperor to become Yu Hao's soul.

For Yuhao, the only benefit of making the Evil Emperor a soul spirit might be that it would help him break through the level 90 limit and make his spiritual power stronger.

Huo Yuhao stopped Tianmeng's verbal sparring at this moment and stepped forward to speak.

"Evil Emperor, I think you've seen it too. Now make your choice."

For an existence like the Evil Emperor, what the eyes see is far more trustworthy than what the mouth says.

He had already made up his mind, but he still had some doubts, so he asked aloud.

"Did you orchestrate the two times that Di Tian stopped me from taking action a few years ago?"

"Also, what exactly is the reason behind the Snow Empress's existence, which is different from sacrifice?"

After the Evil Emperor uttered these words, Huo Yuhao knew that the battle and the appearance of Xue Di and the others had shaken the Evil Emperor's resolve.

At this point, the matter of turning the Evil Emperor into the spirit of his ninth soul ring can be said to be largely accomplished.

He didn't mind answering the Evil Emperor's questions.

"Yes, the destruction of the Holy Spirit Cult and Di Tian's intervention to stop you were indeed my arrangement."

He then explained, "I call Xue Di's way of being a Soul Spirit. It is a mode of coexistence that is different from any known human and Soul Beast in this world."

"Unlike Soul Masters absorbing the Soul Rings of Soul Beasts after their death, and unlike the voluntary sacrifice of Soul Beasts, the Soul Spirit Technique allows Soul Beasts to retain their consciousness and physical body, and continue to exist as independent individuals."

"All that's needed is for a contract to be signed between the Soul Master and the Soul Beast, linking their fates together so they can progress together."

"."

After much explanation, the Evil Emperor finally understood everything.

At this point, however, this person's attitude had completely changed.

"The soul, create a god, so that it may enjoy eternal life with you."

As he spoke, the Evil Emperor began to laugh, but he quickly became serious again. He looked at Huo Yuhao and felt that a path he had never imagined before was laid out before him.

Countless years of survival wisdom and instinct told him that this was his chance, a chance to truly escape this world.

The young Yuhao in front of him was terrifyingly young. His talent, aptitude, and strength were all unprecedented. In the long history of his life, he had never seen such a guy.

Moreover, he even has the support of ferocious beasts like Di Tian, ​​which proves that he is now free from any constraints in both the soul beast and human worlds and can do whatever he wants.

As I said before, it wasn't hard for the Evil Emperor to guess what Di Tian and the others were thinking. This Soul Spirit Technique could indeed change the current situation of soul beasts and soul masters. He knew best what Di Tian was thinking about for the Star Dou Great Forest, and he also wanted to consider the Evil Demon Forest.

This human being before us certainly has the potential to change the world.

Although what that big bug said was unpleasant to hear, it was undeniably true that he didn't need to pay any price at all.

Moreover, it seems I have no choice.

"Alright, I can become your spirit!"

"Gods, huh? What a crazy experiment!"

There's another reason the Evil Emperor didn't mention: the illusion he had before, as if the whole world was targeting him, disappeared after this human appeared before him.

Perhaps, this human being is truly favored by fate.

Huo Yuhao smiled; the Evil Emperor had made a wise choice.

The whole process went incredibly smoothly, and with the Evil Emperor in hand, he finally completed his last soul ring. The Creation Plan could now proceed smoothly.

Xue Di and the others had already returned to the Sea of ​​Spirit. Huo Yuhao and Xie Di then began a detailed conversation.

After some discussion, the steps of the Soul Technique and the method of contract construction were taught to the Evil Emperor, and the two began to construct the contract.

In the following process, the Evil Emperor will merge everything about himself with Huo Yuhao through the Soul Spirit Technique, thereby further enhancing Huo Yuhao's spiritual power level.

Furthermore, since Huo Yuhao's external soul bones are now basically complete, he will generate a skull for Huo Yuhao during the process of becoming a soul spirit.

A soul bone with spiritual and temporal attributes, aged up to 800,000 years.

According to the experience of soul masters on the mainland, they will condense their first soul core at level 90. At this time, Huo Yuhao has already condensed two soul cores. He did not plan to condense a third soul core at this time, so there is no need to spend too much time on it.

With the previous experience, the establishment of the contract between the Evil Emperor and Huo Yuhao went very smoothly. During this process, the Evil Emperor naturally became aware of Elder Yi's existence.

The Evil Emperor once again felt that his choice was correct; Huo Yuhao's foundation was simply terrifyingly strong.

As the Evil Emperor's body gradually granulated into particles, the primordial energy of the Evil Emperor, which had existed for 800,000 years, continuously strengthened Huo Yuhao's spiritual sea with the formation of the contract.

Compared to the previous layers of sealing Tianmeng's spiritual origin, the Evil Emperor's energy is even more tyrannical, but for Huo Yuhao now, it has no effect on him at all.

The living gold obtained from the golden tortoiseshell once again played a role, like the Ice Emperor, helping the Evil Emperor break through the limit of 800,000 years at the last moment.

On the empty space of the ninth spirit ring, a scarlet spirit ring engraved with eight golden runes slowly emerged, constantly shifting between crimson and gray under the influence of powerful energy.

On Huo Yuhao's second martial soul, the Bell of the End, the mark related to spiritual attributes became even more profound. At the same time, a brand-new spacetime attribute ability was engraved on the Bell of the End.

The spacetime attribute, which can be described as a rule that differs from the common attributes in the Douluo world, is also within the scope of the inscription of the Final Martial Soul.

But the changes go far beyond that.

As the spiritual skull created by the Evil Emperor merged with Huo Yuhao, the mental barrier that had been restricting him began to crumble, allowing him, who was already halfway to the Divine Origin Realm, to completely break through and become a true Divine Origin Realm expert.

The transformation of spiritual consciousness into divine essence, and the ability of thought to penetrate heaven and earth, is the mark of becoming a demigod, also known as the ordinary divine essence realm. In the original route, this was described as a quasi-god, also called the ordinary divine essence realm.

Above that is the third level of the Divine Origin Realm, all the way down to the first level of the Divine Origin Realm, corresponding to the third to first level of the divine realm in the God Realm.

As for the higher realm of spiritual power, it is the God King realm.

Because they were prepared in advance, Tianmeng in the Sea of ​​Spirit released the spiritual essence he had sealed without reservation, taking this opportunity to help Huo Yuhao's spiritual power leap forward completely. Elder Yi also used the Heart of the Dragon God in the Sea of ​​Consciousness to transform cosmic energy and promote the transformation of Huo Yuhao's spiritual power.

With the completion of the soul contract, the complete fusion of the Evil Emperor's spirit and soul bones, and the dedicated efforts of Tianmeng and Elder Yi, Huo Yuhao's spiritual power realm directly surpassed the ordinary Divine Origin Realm and officially entered the third-level Divine Origin Realm.

An unprecedented feeling filled his mind.

It was a strange feeling of being able to control almost everything.

It was as if everything in the world had transformed into another form, completely under his control. If one had to describe it, there would only be four words: ruling the world.

A true ruler of the world!
An unprecedented state of mind, along with a brief moment of extreme emotion, caused the Bell of the End to begin to resonate, and a brand new bell pattern gradually emerged.

After a long silence, the bells, imbued with a sense of destiny, rang out once more.

"I heard the echo of 'Skillful Things'!"
