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

Chapter 252 The Eye of Time-Space Annihilation, The Gaze of Fate

After the Evil Emperor made arrangements for the Demon Forest, Huo Yuhao, Meng Hongchen, and the others set off for their next destination, the far north.

This was Huo Yuhao's first visit to this icy and snowy region since the incident at Ice Palace.

Unlike last time, this time he didn't need to hide anything, nor did he need to rely on Tianmeng's external soul bone to resist the severe cold. He now had the confidence to truly do what he wanted to do.

Huo Yuhao told Meng Hongchen and the others about the soul skills and soul bone skills that the Evil Emperor developed after becoming a soul spirit on the way here.

The two soul skills are named [Eye of Time and Space Annihilation] and [Gaze of Fate], respectively.

The former's effect involves spacetime rules, allowing it to condense an eye with a diameter of up to a kilometer in space, and release a dark red beam of destructive light through the eye to strike the source point.

Within the effect range of the Soul Skill, time and space freeze for 3 seconds. Those below the God level cannot be exempted, while those above the God level experience a proportional reduction in the time-space freeze effect as the opponent's strength increases.

At the same time, in the area shrouded by the pillar of destruction, all matter, especially matter with a soul, will gradually be devoured by spiritual energy and annihilated in the turbulent flow of spacetime.

【Gaze of Fate】By using the Eye of Fate, that is, by using the power of fate, the illusory image of the evil eye tentacles links the fate trajectories of all creatures within range, briefly visualizing their lines of destiny.

This soul skill, combined with the power of destiny through the Eye of Destiny, can actively sever or distort the destiny line of a specific target, causing their original destiny trajectory to deviate, and thus rewrite their destiny at a certain stage.

If Huo Yuhao were willing to sacrifice all his spiritual power, he could make an instant death judgment on any being whose power of destiny was inferior to his own. Regardless of success or failure, the judged person would be banished by destiny, and their body, soul, and even destiny would be completely annihilated.

The two Soul Bone Skills are named [Evil Eye Matrix] and [Tyrant Domination], respectively.

The former is a defensive skill. Under this Soul Bone Skill, countless miniature Evil Eye virtual entities can be generated to form a mental barrier.

Under this barrier, over 90% of mental attacks can be deflected, and all physical attacks will be converted into mental shockwaves by the barrier. This Soul Bone Skill grants immunity to negative effects such as mental confusion.

The countless virtual entities of the Evil Eye generated at the same time can form the Evil Eye Matrix, causing all hostile units within range to suffer a mental shock every 3 seconds, and the intensity of the shock can be stacked.

If the Evil Eye virtual entity within the matrix is ​​attacked by energy, it will be transformed into death energy, and the beings that die within the matrix will be transformed into Evil Eye's servants and provide energy.

【Tyrant's Domination】is a domain-type Soul Bone Skill with a simple and straightforward effect.

Within this area, a mental domain can be deployed, causing all enemy units within the domain to suffer a 30% reduction in all attributes, and increasing the energy consumption of enemy attacks by an additional 20%.
When attacked by the enemy, there is a chance to trigger the Tyrant Mark. Once marked, the enemy will suffer an additional 25% mental damage, causing the attacker to fall into a soul stun for 1 to 3 seconds.

Every three Tyrant Marks are triggered, an Evil Eye Brand will be created. Under this brand, if a final blow is delivered to a dying target, all of the dying target's primal energy can be absorbed and converted into a shield for the user. At the same time, the corpse of the deceased will be detonated, causing a wide-range mental storm.

Like other soul skills, these two soul skills and soul bone skills can also be linked with other soul skills and domains.

What was truly important, or rather, what Huo Yuhao valued most, was the enhancement of his mental strength and physical strength brought to him by the Evil Eye Tyrant Overlord.

In Huo Yuhao's eyes, such powerful soul skills and soul bone skills were not even as important as the [Crafty Object] Echo.

The appearance of [巧物] truly gave him the qualification to create things, and it was no longer just a simple idea in his mind.

The frigid winds of the far north remained as biting as ever. Meng Hongchen and the others had already followed Huo Yuhao deep into the heart of the far north, a place utterly unsuitable for any non-ice-attribute soul beasts to survive; the extreme low temperatures were enough to stop any creature from venturing there.

As soon as Xue Di entered the far north, she solidified her body and took the lead in leaving.

Since her last failed tribulation, although only a few years have passed and she still has Xiaobai and Titan Snow Demon King protecting her, her special identity makes her uneasy about the far north.

At the same time, it's also to explain the situation to Xiaobai in advance, so as to avoid any unpleasant things from happening later.

The same was true for Ice Emperor. After Huo Yuhao used the [Craftsmanship] Echo and used the Life Gold as the core to condense a body for her, she took this opportunity to return to the Ice Jade Scorpion Clan.

If it weren't for taking care of Meng Hongchen and Xiao Hongchen's speed, Huo Yuhao and Gu Yuena, with their strength, would not have needed so long to reach the true core of the far north, Snow Emperor Peak, where Snow Emperor and Ice Bear King lived.

Following the route left by the Snow Emperor, Huo Yuhao and the others arrived at the outer perimeter of Snow Emperor Mountain in just one day.

As the center of ice elements in the far north, Snow Emperor Peak has extremely rich spiritual energy, with ice element attributes far exceeding those of human cities by tens or even hundreds of times, making it a veritable blessed land.

This is not only where the Snow Emperor lived, but also the highest peak in the entire far north core area. About 100 meters below the summit of Snow Emperor Peak is a natural cave structure. The cave is divided into two layers, an outer layer with a larger area, where the Ice Bear King Xiaobai lived, and an inner layer with a smaller area, where the Snow Emperor lived and cultivated.

Meng Hongchen was fine, since she possessed extreme ice attributes, and in this environment she not only didn't feel cold, but actually felt very comfortable. However, Xiao Hongchen and Ji Juechen didn't feel the same way.

Even with their current strength as near-Soul Douluo, the two of them are still wearing a layer of soul-guiding shield to reduce the loss of soul power.

During this process, Huo Yuhao also revealed that his seventh soul ring, which was the embryo, was actually the Snow Empress, the third-ranked ferocious beast on the continent.

Because of the many unbelievable examples before them, Meng Hongchen and the others felt unsurprised after learning about it.

Now, if we tell them that the number one soul beast on the continent is Huo Yuhao's soul spirit, they won't be surprised at all.

This time, if possible, Huo Yuhao plans to bind the entire far north together and 'package' it, achieving a true binding of fate.

Ice Bear King Xiaobai is suitable for Meng Hongchen, and the Titan Snow Demon King itself, with an age of over 200,000 years, is more than enough.

Both Xiao Hongchen and Ji Juechen can form a soul contract with them.

In fact, once you reach this age limit, there's no need to worry about whether the attributes match; the age limit can make up for all shortcomings.

As for Huo Yuhao himself, besides Ice Emperor and Titan Giant Ape, his second spirit also has seven spirit ring slots available, for which he has already made arrangements.

Leaving aside the ferocious beasts in the Star Dou Great Forest, such as Emperor Tianxiong, Jun Biji, and the Demon King, even in the vast ocean, there are the mermaid princess and the Demon Emperor whose husband died as potential candidates.

He doesn't lack choices.
