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

Chapter 293 The Demon King Begins His Attempt to Reach Level 100 (4K)

Star Forest.

The contract process is still ongoing.

However, after Bi Ji, many soul beast clans had already been dispersed due to her previous departure.

Apart from some powerful soul beasts over 10,000 years old and some 100,000-year-old soul beasts, many soul beasts that are 100 or even 1,000 years old no longer gather as before.

It must be said that this also relieved the previously tense Heavenly Soul Empire and Star Luo Empire.

During this gathering of soul beasts, they paid a heavy price due to their fear, the most damaging of which was relocating the 'tentacles' of the two great empires from the Star Dou Great Forest to another location.

At least until the upcoming war begins, neither of the two empires will pose much of a threat to the Star Dou Great Forest.

This is not good news for those Soul Masters, but it is definitely a great thing for the Soul Beasts in the Star Dou Great Forest.

The two great empires are now nervously preparing to deal with the threat from the Sun Moon Empire, plotting to destroy the Sun Moon Empire's arsenal, which it relies on to wage war. They would naturally be happy if they could appease the soul beasts in the Star Dou Great Forest.

The two empires thought they had paid a heavy price to stop what they perceived as an impending beast tide in the Star Dou Great Forest. Little did they know that even if they did nothing, the soul beasts would not have attacked the two empires.

It can only be described as a perfectly misunderstanding.

The Demon King's true form is the Demon Eye Tree. It was not originally a top-tier soul beast. Logically speaking, it should not have been qualified to grow to its current age. However, during its growth, it devoured a fairy spirit herb that possessed the ability to evolve into a plant-type soul beast, thus evolving into a top-tier plant-type soul beast.

Not only that, but it also gained and possessed the triple attributes of wood, poison, and spirit.

In addition, unlike Xiong Jun and Bi Ji who have their own soul beast clan, they are the rulers of one-third of the outer area of ​​the Star Dou Great Forest, ranking fifth among the ten ferocious beasts.

Compared to Biji's ultimate life attribute, the Wan Yao Wang's wood attribute doesn't seem as outstanding.

The life attribute can be applied to both animals and plants, but the wood attribute is similar to a special skill unique to plants.

Of course, in the process of contracting the Demon King, Huo Yuhao will not only focus on the wood attribute on it. Having the authority of natural rules, he is a natural superior with ultimate life and wood attribute.

As for the Demon King's poison attributes, including his mental attributes, Huo Yuhao thought they were nothing special.

Not to mention that he himself has already grown to the level of a god-level spiritual power, even the seemingly unremarkable extreme poison attribute engraved on his body is incomparable to that of the Demon King.

However, this does not negate the benefits brought to him by the contract with the Demon King. He still did not absorb the soul bone, and even the soul skills were not of much interest to Huo Yuhao.

What he valued was the boost to his soul power that would come from forming a contract with the Demon King.

After forming a contract with Bi Ji, his strength had already grown to the peak of level 98. This was the superficial division according to the Douluo realm. However, forming a contract with the Demon King of Ten Thousand Demons completely allowed him to cross this threshold, making him a true level 99 Limit Douluo.

The word "limit" sounds much better than "super".

The wood attribute possessed by the Demon King has become part of his natural laws through a contract, and his poison attribute and spiritual power have also been integrated with him.

Although it couldn't achieve the same level of power as before, the super artifact helped him break through the final barrier, directly evolving his attributes into rule-based power, but it was still not to be underestimated.

Especially his mental strength. Huo Yuhao had a vague feeling that if he continued to contract with soul spirits and accumulated strength through the blessing of these ferocious beasts, his own mental strength should be able to continue to grow to the level of a first-level god in the process.

This is not a direct improvement, but rather a qualitative change resulting from quantitative accumulation through contracts with ferocious beasts with lifespans of hundreds of thousands of years.

"how?"

As best friends, Xiong Jun kept looking at the Demon King whose body had been re-formed the moment the contract was completed, eager to know how much it had improved.

The Demon King felt better than ever before.

And that's exactly what he said.

“Great, I’ve never felt stronger than I do now.”

"Bear, how about we have a match?"

Although it's called an equal contract, given Huo Yuhao's current strength, the benefits he brings to ferocious beasts like the Demon King after the contract far exceed the benefits they bring to him.

This is a sharing and fusion of the methods of both parties. With the support of Huo Yuhao's divine power and spiritual power, the strength of contracted souls such as the Demon King has indeed achieved a qualitative leap.

Although the power of these spirits has not yet been transformed into divine power, their spirit power has already undergone a qualitative change.

In addition, during the contract process, the Dragon God's Heart transforms cosmic energy to help Huo Yuhao enhance the dissipated cosmic energy, helping them increase their lifespan and purify their bloodline.

All the soul beasts on Douluo Star originate from the Dragon God. With the help of the Dragon God's Heart, even ferocious beasts like the Demon King can evolve to a higher level in terms of bloodline.

In essence, even without pure dragon blood, after being 'purified' by the Heart of the Dragon God, the bloodlines of ferocious beasts like the Demon King are essentially comparable to those of pure dragons like Emperor Tian.

If one had to describe it, it would be a bloodline reversion, directly helping these ferocious beasts to elevate their bloodline to a level comparable to that of ancient soul beasts.

This is also why the Demon King immediately prepared to challenge the Bear Lord after signing the contract.

"Stop messing around. I, Old Bear, only fight with you because I have nothing better to do. I'm not just bored."

Just kidding, Xiong Jun is reckless, not stupid.

That old schemer, the Demon King, who used to be so prudent, suddenly wants to fight me. Isn't that obviously a trap?

He also realized that after completing the soul contract, these ferocious beasts would not only be able to completely avoid the trouble of the heavenly tribulation, but also have the opportunity to be bound to Huo Yuhao, who was destined to become a god.

Their own strength and future destiny will also undergo a complete transformation.

What are we waiting for? Old Xiong can't wait any longer.

The Demon King felt a little disappointed when he heard Xiong Jun's refusal, but he didn't pay much attention to it.

He wanted to take advantage of his improved strength to teach this arrogant guy a lesson, but when he saw that the guy wouldn't take the bait, he quickly forgot about him.

However, Xiong Jun was destined to be disappointed, because after the Demon King completed the Soul Contract, Huo Yuhao's first six Soul Ring slots on the Bell of the End were already full.

He was also a perfectionist, so he reserved the seventh spirit ring slot for Di Tian, ​​a pure-blooded dragon. According to common belief on the continent, the age of the seventh spirit ring determines the combat strength of a spirit master's martial soul after its true form, and it is also a great opportunity for the spirit master's martial soul to complete another evolution.

Of course, for Huo Yuhao, the actual benefits were just so-so.

Even if Xiong Jun becomes his seventh soul spirit, it's the same. He doesn't rely on martial souls or the age of soul beasts to exert combat power. The only difference is that he skips the step of increasing the age of soul rings.

But as I said before, Old Huo is a person who pays attention to details, and he will not overlook any link that may cause changes.

Under Xiong Jun's expectant gaze, Huo Yuhao turned his attention to Di Tian.

The latter immediately realized that he was next.

Xiong Jun was only slightly disappointed, but he quickly put his mind to himself and argued that he, Old Xiong, was ranked after Di Tian. Didn't that just prove that he, Old Xiong, was even more important than Di Tian?

However, he was still somewhat disappointed. He had originally planned to form a contract with Di Tian and fight him like the Demon King, regardless of whether Di Tian agreed or not.

This plan has now fallen through, and I feel a bit disappointed.

However, Xiong Jun had already made up his mind that no matter what happened next, he would fight Di Tian after the contract was completed.

The current Huo Yuhao is not the same Huo Yuhao from the original storyline. After he showed his strength to Xiong Jun, he made this guy who was always defiant completely submit.

Even without Gu Yuena, the ruler of all soul beasts, suppressing him, Huo Yuhao's current strength would prevent Xiong Jun from doing what happened in the original route: breaking his soul spirit and being severely injured by Di Tian.

To put it bluntly, with Gu Yuena, the Soul Beast Lord who has recovered to her full strength, above them, coupled with Huo Yuhao's current strength and the complete Soul Spirit system, no matter how unruly and hostile Xiong Jun is, he has to keep quiet.

Di Tian spoke at this moment, looking at Huo Yuhao with some confidence.

“My contract process may be more difficult than Brigitte’s and the others, so I hope you are prepared.”

Huo Yuhao was taken aback. Di Tian was so sharp-tongued. He was very confident in himself.

"Don't worry, even if you, Di Tian, ​​haven't broken through 900,000 years yet, or even if you were a million-year pure-blooded dragon, you wouldn't be a burden to me."

Di Tian was momentarily speechless upon hearing this; he had only said it casually.

If it were anyone else, he would have killed them with a single palm strike to show them the true value of the pure-blooded golden-eyed black dragon clan. But since it was Huo Yuhao who said this, well, he could only endure it.

Before this, he had never imagined that he would one day have a contract with a human, but now this situation had indeed actually happened.

Although it wasn't a sacrifice, nor was it a shameful act of being absorbed as a soul ring, there was still a slight unease about it.

However, he also knew that if he wanted the soul beasts to have a better future, he, as the great patriarch of the soul beasts, needed to set an example, which was an essential part of the process.

If Huo Yuhao knew what Di Tian was thinking, he would definitely complain about it.

Let alone choosing now and having a better future, if things really went according to the original plan, you would have been designed to be the third generation of the Tang family to withstand the cosmic tribulation lightning, ending up with your divine consciousness shattered and dying.

At this moment, with Emperor Tian as his soul spirit, Huo Yuhao couldn't help but put his mind at ease.

This has nothing to do with Di Tian's strength, but rather with the fact that this contract may determine whether he can break through to level 100 in one step.

Therefore, this is not just a contract process like the previous ones, but a true transformation, a true evolution into a god.

If we compare the process from level 95 to 99 to addition and subtraction, then breaking through level 100 from level 99 is a complex mathematical calculation.

Even before it started, Huo Yuhao was already prepared for a protracted battle.

Not only did they make Elder Yi use the Heart of the Dragon God at all times, but they also used the Tower of Eternity and the Throne of Eternity and Creation.

Gu Yuena also knew what Huo Yuhao was facing at this moment, but she couldn't help him much in this process. Not only her, but even the entire plane seemed to be cheering and waiting for a truly invincible powerhouse to descend.

More importantly, this powerful figure was nurtured by Him step by step, a native of Douluo Star and a chosen one of destiny.

(Old Huo: Actually, I wasn't born and raised here either (*^▽^*))
As the contract ceremony began, the moment Di Tian transformed into particle energy and entered into a contract with Huo Yuhao, a transformation from the inside out occurred.

As the top of the ten ferocious beasts, Di Tian, ​​whose age is close to nine hundred thousand years and who possesses the dark mechanism and the pure bloodline of the Golden-Eyed Black Dragon clan, brings an energy that is even more intense than the oppressive feeling brought by the previous ferocious beasts together.

As Di Tian's energy continuously impacted Huo Yuhao's body, coupled with the immense energy surge and replenishment from the Dragon God's Heart, a perfectly unified aura, seemingly integrated with heaven and earth, rose from Huo Yuhao's body.

His divine power was now transforming towards a higher level. Elder Yi used the chaotic energy he had obtained from the God Realm, and with the assistance of the Dragon God's Heart, he continuously promoted the qualitative change of Huo Yuhao's divine power.

It is clearly not enough to rely on Di Tian's power to complete this step. From beginning to end, the contract with Di Tian was only a 'catalyst' for this transformation.

The two soul cores he had previously condensed, the essence core with several extreme attributes, and the divine core that carried his divine power were now rapidly transforming at a speed that was difficult for ordinary people to comprehend.

At the same time, the position of the third soul core was finally vacated.

At this moment, the Soul Core was useless to Huo Yuhao. What he was doing was to condense the last thing that could bear the power of his body.

The existence of the third soul core is sufficient to bear the responsibility of carrying the power of the rules.

At the same time, it allows the three soul cores to merge into one, carrying the source of all his abilities and forming a higher-level existence similar to a golden core.

Even so, even if everything goes smoothly, by breaking through to level 100, he can at most achieve another qualitative change in his spiritual power, but it is still far from enough to achieve a qualitative change in his divine power and reach the level of chaotic power.

Even with the aid of the Dragon God's Heart, the chaotic energy obtained from the divine realm could not play a truly important role.

If one could truly transform all their power into chaotic power right now, then the previous Dragon God wouldn't have needed to go through so much trouble.

Moreover, he no longer needs to think about the creation plan; he can directly become an existence above the God-King in one step.

Therefore, this is unrealistic.

Huo Yuhao estimated that he possessed at most the spiritual power of a first-level god. His physical strength was hard to judge, and as for the rules, seeing Di Tian's extreme dark attributes trying to evolve with the death rules given to him by Elder Yi, Huo Yuhao couldn't help but feel hopeful.

After the authority of the laws of nature, am I about to acquire the authority of a new law? Is it the authority of death, or the authority of darkness?
