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

Chapter 268 Soul Armor - Evil Emperor Form, The Match is Approaching (4K)

The impact of the emergence of the Throne of Seal goes far beyond this.

Several days have passed, and although the Sun and Moon Empire has concluded that the incident was caused by a meteorite impact, this obviously has not dispelled the suspicions of the three major empires.

What kind of meteorite impact would manifest a phantom of a throne in the sky? What kind of meteorite impact could instantly attract the attention of almost all the titled powerhouses on the continent?

This is ridiculous!

However, the news has been blocked, and even in Mingdu, the main location of the incident, which is the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy, the first scene of the incident, there are very few people who know the truth.

The combined pressure from Kong Deming and Jing Hongchen was so great that not only the forces on the Sun Moon side, but even the royal family dared not utter a word.

The Three Kingdoms wanted to gather information from the spies on the Sun and Moon side, but they had to be able to gather the information first.

Kong Deming was unwilling to say much to Xu Tianran, the crown prince of the empire and the future heir to the throne. If the former did not know the details of the matter, let alone others.

Therefore, even though the three kingdoms frantically sent out spies in secret and used spies that had been in the works for decades, their gains were still meager.

In the Three Kingdoms period, people wouldn't associate such a thing with divine artifacts. After all, their perspectives and understanding were limited, and they didn't even know what a super divine artifact was.

However, this does not prevent them from speculating about existing things, especially after Kong Deming broke through, and it was recently reported that his strength had reached the level of Super Douluo and he had become a level 10 Soul Master.

The Three Kingdoms naturally assumed that such a huge commotion must have been caused by the discovery of a forbidden soul tool.

Level 10 or Level 11? The royal families of the three kingdoms prefer the former. Therefore, they have already devised a strategy in a short time, preparing to use the upcoming All-Continent Soul Master Competition as a cover to secretly take action against the Sun Moon Empire's military soul tool reserves.

Since you're planning to take me down after the tournament, I'll do whatever it takes to cause you some trouble. We can discuss whether we can prolong the eventual outbreak of war, but I'll make sure you're uncomfortable.

This was arguably the last truly frenzied battle on the Three Kingdoms side, though whether it would succeed remained to be seen.

In the original plan, Huo Gua originally intended to build an armory, but his plan backfired and detonated the level-nine fixed soul-guided bomb in Mingde Hall, causing more than two-thirds of the casualties in Mingdu.

Now that Huo Qubing is gone, it's either a pipe dream or an extremely slim chance for the Three Kingdoms to replicate this path.

Half a month later.

Because of the unexpected incident last time, the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy has not been peaceful during this period, but on the surface it is still acceptable.

With Kong Deming, the person in charge of the Offering Hall, and Jing Hongchen jointly guaranteeing his involvement, no one dared to come here to find out the truth, not even the royal family.

Because of the True Dragon Soul Bone, although his seclusion was interrupted, Kong Deming was still able to successfully raise his soul power to a higher level.

Having previously absorbed immortal herbs, and relying on the skull of the 100,000-year-old Longing for Autumn Water and the torso bone of the Qiluo Tulip, his strength was level 96. Now, with the blessing of the True Dragon Soul Bone, and thanks to his accumulation over the years, he has also risen two levels in a short period of time, and is now a level 98 Super Douluo.

Once the time is right and the second soul core is condensed, he will be able to successfully break through to level ninety-nine.

The timing wasn't actually difficult. For someone like Poison Undying, breaking through from level 98 to level 99 might require a lot of effort, but for Kong Deming, who possessed a second martial soul, all he needed to do was add the soul ring to his second martial soul.

His second spirit still has empty spirit ring slots waiting for him. Before, it was because his physical strength couldn't keep up, but now, with immortal herbs, a 100,000-year spirit bone, and a true dragon spirit bone, even if his second spirit is entirely 100,000 years old, he doesn't need to worry about the impact of physical strength.

As for the instability caused by drug use in the past, that's a joke now. There's nothing that top-tier resources can't make up for; if there is, then double the resources.

After breaking through to level 98, thanks to the accumulation of resources, Kong Deming's first martial soul, Silver Moon, successfully upgraded its light attribute to the ultimate level, the ultimate light attribute.

If the second martial soul, the Sun, hadn't yet been equipped with a soul ring, this martial soul would definitely have the potential to grow to its ultimate fire attribute.

Speaking of which, the fact that even martial souls like the sun and the moon cannot naturally possess ultimate attributes shows how deeply rooted the theory of bloodlines is in the Douluo world.

Xuan Ziwen also advanced two levels, from a level 92 Title Douluo to a level 94 Title Douluo. He was still a little short of breaking through to level 95 Super Douluo in one go.

However, Huo Yuhao didn't care after learning about this. Compared to Long Aotian, this senior brother wasn't very interested in cultivation.

If it weren't for conducting higher-level research on soul tools, which requires the support of mental and soul power, Senior Brother Xuan Ziwen probably wouldn't be willing to put in any effort in this regard.

Speaking of Long Aotian, he had already returned from his soul hunt. Although it was called a soul hunt, his eighth soul ring used Huo Yuhao's soul spirit technique.

His soul power level broke through to level 84.

Compared to the low-level Soul Saints in the original route, Long Aotian, who had absorbed immortal herbs and possessed several 100,000-year soul rings, 100,000-year soul bones, and a true dragon soul bone, was far more powerful.

Because he was brought by Du Busi, after witnessing the universality of the Soul Spirit Technique firsthand, he immediately listed it as a core secret of the Body Sect.

Before Huo Yuhao planned to popularize the Soul Spirit Technique throughout the entire continent, Du Busi was already preparing to let the disciples of the Body Sect ride the first wave of this technology.

After all, a soul that can be passed down through generations, and can share joys and sorrows with a soul master while possessing both a physical body and a soul, its value is simply immeasurable.

It is foreseeable that once this method is introduced, the future world order will inevitably be changed as a result.

Poison Undying could already foresee that the new cultivation path of contracting soul spirits would replace the soul ring cultivation path of soul masters with overwhelming momentum.

Therefore, before it becomes widespread, let the absolutely loyal disciples of the Body Sect reap the first wave of benefits and gain some influence among those rare soul beast races. No one can say anything about that.

Of course, this was also tacitly approved by Huo Yuhao. After all, the Soul Spirit Technique would eventually be popularized, so why not have a first wave of pilot projects?

Here.

After half a month of familiarization, Huo Yuhao had also become completely familiar with the Eternal and Creation God Throne.

However, even with his strength, it would still be difficult for him to fully unleash the power of this super artifact.

However, Huo Yuhao didn't care much. After all, he still had a long way to go before reaching his ultimate goal of creating an end world and becoming a god of creation. Before that, he had plenty of time to grow to the point where he could unleash the full power of the Divine Throne.

Electrolux was overjoyed during this time, as he was able to research two super artifacts at the same time. Even at the height of his glory, he had never been so wealthy.

Huo Yuhao also began to organize his gains over this period of time.

The Soul Orb was completed in his hands, no longer limited by any metal or material. The Soul Spirit Technique was completely perfected and became part of the Douluo World. The Douluo Plane also strengthened the rules of souls and death. Of course, if these were merely external objects, then the Soul Armor and the Divine Throne brought him a series of pleasant surprises.

Since the modification of the Jade Scorpion Tail, due to time constraints, he has only completed the modification of the Evil Emperor's skull during this period.

Using Dragon Marrow Gold, Star Vortex Silver, and Nine-Colored Stone, and employing the Echo of [Craftsmanship], necromancy, and Soul Bone Inlay Technique, the design and fusion of the head section of the Soul Armor were completed.

The Evil Emperor's skull became the second soul armor component among all the soul bone parts of Ice Emperor's body, following the Jade Scorpion Tail, which is his external soul bone.

It still retains its own form. Compared to the Ice Emperor's Emerald Scorpion Tail, which has the ability to transform into any form, the Soul Armor designed by the Evil Emperor's Skull is much simpler.

It has only two core characteristics: mental pollution and spacetime distortion.

Because each part is designed according to an individual node, the skull part of the Evil Emperor's soul armor naturally also acquired an Evil Emperor form.

Compared to the aloof and sharp appearance of the Soul Armor Ice Emperor form, the form dominated by the Evil Emperor skull Soul Armor appears more lifeless and full of killing intent.

This is just the form of a component. When the Soul Armor is fully completed and connected to all the Soul Bones, there will definitely be a final form. After all, Old Huo likes to look cool.

Of course, his strength also rose by one level after absorbing the Evil Emperor's soul ring, becoming a level 95 Super Douluo, which was a considerable gain.

After organizing his gains over the past period, Huo Yuhao stretched and prepared to enjoy a long-awaited moment of relaxation once again.

Hopefully, nothing else will go wrong. However, he'll accept as many such unexpected events as the sudden appearance of the Throne of Eternity and Creation as he can.

"Let's go to the ancestral hall."

The All-Continent Soul Master Tournament, also known as the Baby Cup, which will be held in Mingdu soon, will begin soon. As the captain of the main team, he will definitely have to go.

For no other reason than to observe the performance of reserve team members during the selection process, just like with the regular players like Ma Rulong back then.

Now, however, he is the captain and has to evaluate the reserve team members.

In terms of power, they were even higher than the teachers leading the team. According to teachers Kong Deming and Dean Jing Hongchen, it was inevitable to feel tired from constant cultivation, so this competition was just like playing with children and cultivating one's character.

Uh... I don't know what the teacher and the Empire are thinking. Do they just enjoy watching the Three Kingdoms get their comeuppance?

He could almost picture the scene where he, or Meng Hongchen and Xiao Hongchen, 'accidentally' revealed their soul rings, and the team from the Three Kingdoms would have their Dao hearts shattered.

The starting lineup has been confirmed: Huo Yuhao, Xiao Hongchen, Meng Hongchen, Yu Qiu'er, Gu Yuena, Xu Tianzhen who was sent over by the royal family, and Xiao Xiao who was temporarily brought in to make up the team.

After Xiao Xiao was sent to the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy, where some of her memories were erased and she underwent brainwashing, thus becoming a true Sun Moon person.

This time, including this person wasn't for any other reason than Huo Yuhao finding it interesting and looking for some fun.

Thinking about this, Huo Yuhao wanted to laugh. The Baby Cup had produced a bunch of Soul Douluos, and there was also a Title Douluo and a God King like himself. What was the difference between this and using a nuclear bomb to blow up a fish pond?
Especially Gu Yuena, sending the God King to fight a group of Soul Kings and Soul Emperors, tsk tsk tsk, is this still the Douluo Continent he knows!

But it all happens to be in accordance with the rules, everything is legal, compliant and unreasonable, it's hilarious!

Huo Yuhao is now approaching this with amusement in mind, ready to see what kind of drama unfolds in the Three Kingdoms and whether it will be as captivating as it was five years ago.

Ji Juechen was over the age limit in the previous competition, as was Su Tong, so they were naturally not included in the selection scope for this competition.

Long Aotian, this senior brother is going to represent the Body Sect in the competition. Well, another one who's good at frying fish.

Sun Moon Academy is clearly aiming to sweep the top three spots, since both the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy and the Body Sect, which has gradually integrated into Sun Moon Academy, are the face of Sun Moon Academy.

It is foreseeable that this time the order of the teams can be completely reversed. In the past, the regular players were the main force, but this time it will be the other way around, with the reserve team leading the charge.

"Sigh, five years have already passed without me even realizing it."

Thinking back to the first Soul Battle selection he participated in when he first entered the reserve team not long after arriving at Sun Moon City, Huo Yuhao couldn't help but sigh that time is like a wild donkey, once it starts running, it never stops.

There are seven days left until the Continental Soul Master Tournament.

Mingdu, Mingyue Grand Hotel.

"Distinguished guests from the Star Luo Empire, welcome to Mingdu, the capital of the Sun and Moon Empire. I hope you will all have a successful journey ahead."

The hotel receptionist was a handsome young man who didn't pay any attention to the strangely dressed guys in front of him, thinking they were just playing some kind of role-playing game.

As the start of the competition draws ever closer, Mingdu has returned to its former state since the strange phenomenon of the throne appearing in the world, replaced by the lively atmosphere of the approaching competition.

During this period, with the continuous influx of sects and academies from the three countries, the various hotels in Mingdu were also overcrowded.

The remnants of Shrek Academy, who had been waiting for an opportunity to sneak into the Sun and Moon Sect, finally found their chance to appear.

Inside the hall, the Shrek team, led by Yan Shaozhe and Zhang Lexuan—who should now be called the Tang Clan team—were all dressed in black robes, concealing their faces beneath them.

The Tang Clan, how interesting!

Having witnessed the Tang Clan's destruction at the hands of a small force called the Iron Blood Sect, and having seen the Tang Clan reduced to only one bloodline, Tang Ya, and having never once lifted a finger even when Tang Ya sought revenge for the Tang Clan, Shrek Academy now has to wear the Tang Clan's skin to appear in public.

It has to be said that it is quite ironic.

But what could Shrek Academy do? Even after surviving, they barely managed to stay afloat thanks to the protection of the Star Luo royal family. Shrek's honor still wouldn't allow them to participate in this competition under the name of Star Luo.

As for why I'm hesitant about participating in this competition, as I've already mentioned, it's not for victory or the championship, but simply to announce to the world that Shrek has not disappeared, and that Shrek's glory is still upheld and protected by them.

They gambled, gambled that the Sun and Moon wouldn't dare to openly attack Shrek Academy on such a field, betting their lives to give Shrek Academy their last shout.

There are always some people whose thoughts differ from the norm, living in their own worldview and unwilling to wake up. The only answer is respect. As for whether they'll live or die in the end, that's hard to say!
