Douluo Continent: It Became Huo Yuhao's Golden Finger!

Chapter 228 Taking down Long Xiaoyao! Aiming at the Douling Empire!
Zhuge Lan, through her third clone, broadcast the entire process of Xu Tianran being tricked and crippled.

He secretly praised Xiao Yuhao, saying that he had truly inherited his skills.

While thinking about it, I realized the little guy had another 600 million in his account, so I could help him spend it.

What are your thoughts on the land of heritage?

Zhuge Lan glanced at Long Xiaoyao, who had spoken, and asked, "You're asking me?"

"You bear the divine test of the Land of Inheritance, while the Lord of the Light Palace takes the path of collecting faith power to become a god. Why is that?" Long Xiaoyao continued to ask, "Is the Lord of the Light Palace not qualified to become an inheritor? Or can a person only possess the inheritance of one god?"

Zhuge Lan found it strange; why was the old man suddenly asking this?
It was his third clone, who was AFK, who told him that the Phoenix God was spreading rumors about the little punk's plan.

So that’s it.

That's going to be fun.

Zhuge Lan coughed, and the seven-colored mark of the God of Emotions lit up again next to the mark of the Sea God between his eyebrows.

"A dual-god inheritor?" Long Xiaoyao murmured, "So it's not that it's forbidden, but rather that it's unnecessary."

They say people become better with age.

Long Xiaoyao achieved the Limit Douluo title at the age of one hundred, and is now two hundred years old.

The little bastard became a god at the age of 25 and stayed in the heavens for less than 30 years. Even if you include the age of the Tang Clan assassin in his previous life, he still did not live as long as Long Xiaoyao.

Many things are obvious at a glance.

"So, this divine inheritance in the Land of Inheritance is indeed just bait?" Long Xiaoyao said with a wry smile, "How laughable! I thought I was even more favored than that old geezer. Leading the way here has only brought me nothing."

"Oh! So bold of you to speak like that?" Zhuge Lan tapped his brow: "Aren't you afraid of being spied on and then silenced in a fit of anger?"

“As long as I am still useful, they will not take action. Otherwise, wouldn’t the previous investment be wasted?” Long Xiaoyao said confidently.

There's a saying that having an elder in the family is like having a treasure.

They see things very clearly.

Zhuge Lan gave a thumbs up, "Old Deng, you're truly brave."

"But you are the one," Long Xiaoyao said curiously, "your divine test was the most difficult of the twelve people I know who passed it, yet it far exceeded the sum of all the others. Why is that?"

"I'm afraid I'll actually complete the divine test." Zhuge Lan said with a smile, "It's true that the divine test is set by the gods, but if you can really complete all nine tests, then even if the gods are unwilling, the divine position will still be passed down according to the rules."

Long Xiaoyao's eyes flashed!
"really?"

"I know what you're thinking, but I advise you not to think about it." Zhuge Lan said slowly, "I can resurrect infinitely, so the Sea God can't do anything to me. He can only work on the difficulty of the Divine Trial. But for you, resurrecting a Limit Douluo takes a lot of energy."

Long Xiaoyao wasn't too disappointed, he just shook his head regretfully.

"It's incredibly difficult for a mortal to become a god!"

Hey!
That's not necessarily true.

With a wave of his hand, Zhuge Lan used 10 luck points to create a warning barrier, temporarily blocking the divine sense within Long Xiaoyao's Asura Mark.

Once a breach is made, it will serve as a warning to oneself.

Long Xiaoyao's senses were extremely sharp, and the feeling of being spied on disappeared.

"you?"

"I did it." Zhuge Lan nodded and said, "After the Necromancer Saint God, there is a powerful being no less than the Asura God King. We currently have more than 20 god positions at our disposal. Are you interested in cooperating?"

Long Xiaoyao's eyes narrowed!
More than 20 divine positions?!

Do you think this is a wholesale market?!
But when he met Zhuge Lan's calm gaze, he hesitated again.

Is it
it is true?
"Kacha——"

With a crisp cracking sound, the protective barrier in Long Xiaoyao's mental world shattered, and at the same time, an invisible force rippled within it.

The original intention was to create the illusion that Long Xiaoyao had temporarily shielded himself using his own mental power.

However, Long Xiaoyao reacted extremely quickly, decisively shattering his mental world with self-inflicted damage, appearing as if he had suffered a backlash.

Xiao Wu, on the other end of the Asura Mark, didn't suspect anything and resumed her covert surveillance.

Zhuge Lan, who had a clear view of everything, was amazed.

As expected of the Dragon Emperor Douluo, one of the Black and White Twin Dragons, the strongest of his generation.

Their teamwork was excellent, with perfect coordination.

Because he was being monitored again, Long Xiaoyao did not mention the 20 divine positions.

He asked cryptically, "From now on, both the Lord of the Light Palace and the Holy Spirit Cult will become the state religions of the Sun and Moon Empire. We should cooperate more in the future for mutual benefit."

—If I cooperate with you, will I get a divine position?

Zhuge Lan said unhappily, "Do you think our Temple of Light is some kind of ruthless exploiter? Of course, it's an equal exchange."

—As long as you provide enough assistance, you will naturally obtain the corresponding divine position.

Long Xiaoyao asked again, "The Light Magic Scrolls from the Temple of Light are indeed useful, but I wonder if the current top-tier ninth-order scrolls are tradable?"

—I want a first-level deity!
Zhuge Lan said with disdain, "Ninth rank? We only have a handful of them, not even enough for ourselves, how could we possibly trade them away?"

—You're dreaming!

Long Xiaoyao conceded, "Then the second-tier eighth-order scrolls, enough for me and another close friend, is that alright? The third-tier scrolls are just too useless."

—Two level-two deities; there's no way they can cooperate with anyone lower.

Zhuge Lan lowered his head and began to ponder.

There are only five second-level gods, two of whom were given to Long Xiaoyao and Ye Xishui, in exchange for two Limit Douluo turning against them at a crucial moment.

not enough.

Zhuge Lan stated, "Eighth-tier scrolls are very expensive; they're only for our own people."

—If you want to become a second-level deity, then you'll be on the same side and have to serve your boss.

Long Xiaoyao revealed a slight smile.

"That's natural, it's an equivalent exchange."

"Once we obtain the Light Magic Scroll, as long as its quality is acceptable, my friend and I will naturally provide the corresponding resources."

—Having inspected the goods and confirmed that there are no problems with the level two deities, I will gladly serve you.

They probably felt that the requirement of "goods first, payment later" was too demanding.

Long Xiaoyao reached into his storage ring and took out a piece of blood-red left arm bone, which looked to be over 20 years old.

He handed it directly to Zhuge Lan.

"This is the 28-year-old soul bone of my ninth soul ring. It was already fully equipped at the time, but I was unable to get an external soul bone. It has been preserved until now."

"Here's your deposit as a down payment for the Level 8 scroll, kid."

Zhuge Lan casually took the soul bone and tossed it up and down.

"You're so comfortable giving it to me like that?"

“You also have fully equipped soul bones, and they are all over 10 years old, which are much more luxurious than mine.” Long Xiaoyao said trustingly, “As long as the matter can be accomplished, I don’t care who these soul bones end up in.”

Zhuge Lan gave a thumbs up, "Great magnanimity!"
"By the way," Zhuge Lan added, "I heard that the Holy Spirit Cult's headquarters is in the Demon Forest, where there's a kind of Sun and Moon Soil. I wonder how much is left?"

"I haven't paid attention to this before; I'll have someone ask about it later."

"Row."

then.

Under Xiao Wu's divine sense monitoring, the old man and the young man happily reached a deal.

We just need to wait until the time comes to find the God of Destruction, report the list to the God of Destruction, and receive the divine judgment.

The two veteran Limit Douluo, Dragon Emperor Douluo and Death God Douluo, will become the backbone of Zhuge Lan's camp.

—And they're the kind who're fearless, after all, the Temple of Light "can resurrect."

[Rewrite the fate of Huo Yuhao, the Temple of Light, the Holy Spirit Cult, Long Xiaoyao, Ye Xishui, and the Sun Moon Empire, +50 Luck Points!]

50?
This small amount is probably just interest; the bulk of the settlement will take place after the divine inheritance is bestowed, when Long Xiaoyao and Ye Xishui truly submit to the divine will.

Not bad. I glanced at my current account balance.
-
Luck value: 658,9321;

Secret stash: 4612, 2000;
-
We should help Xiaoyuhao spend some money, otherwise, once we reach ten million, the child will have to make his own decisions.

Um.
Looking at Xiao Yuhao's current configuration, the biggest deficiency is still the upper limit of his spiritual world. Even with the second awakening of his Golden-level Spirit Eye, his spiritual world still cannot accommodate new soul spirits.

The base figure is too high, making it difficult to achieve growth.

The Spirit Eye Martial Soul has only acquired its fifth spirit ring so far. The reason it doesn't lack suitable targets is simply that it lacks available spirit slots.

In reality, there are few ways to increase mental strength, and Electrolux's mental power package also needs to be accumulated slowly.

But it's simple to increase it using luck value.
-
Condition: Enhance Huo Yuhao's spiritual power so that his spiritual world can accommodate a soul!
Cost: 250 million Luck Points!
To create or not to create?
Is the consumption so high?

After spending 1 Luck Point to check, I found that the mental power gained out of thin air would put a huge burden on the body, so it was also necessary to improve physical strength at the same time.

In this case--
Condition: Upgrade Huo Yuhao's head soul bone, the Azure Spirit Illusionary Eye Skull, to increase his spiritual power and expand his spiritual world to the point where it can accommodate another soul spirit!

Cost: 160 million Luck Points!
To create or not to create?
This directly enhanced the Azure Spirit Illusionary Eye skull to the level of 92 years.

Let's add another 20 luck points to extend the time limit to a million years.

Zhuge Lan switched perspectives, allowing Xiao Yuhao to pause his work for a moment.

create!
Huo Yuhao's skull emitted a bright green light, and as his age rapidly increased, his spiritual power also increased accordingly.

It's truly glowing green!
Come here.

Zhuge Lan simply upgraded the remaining main soul bones to a million years.

The consumption is as follows:

The 30-year-old Ice Bear King's Berserk Right Arm Bone cost 120 million Luck Points!
The left arm bone of the Titan Snow Demon King, aged 20 years, cost 155 million luck points!
The left leg bone of a 10-year-old octagonal mystic ice crystal cost 218 million luck points!
It also cost an extra 10 luck points, which was temporarily borrowed from Zhuge Lan's private treasury.

Including principal and interest, let's say 50.

Seeing Huo Yuhao's entire body glowing, Zhuge Lan nodded in satisfaction.

In this way, apart from the four external soul bones, all the other soul bones are millions of years old.

The power of physical strength, soul bone skills, and the true form of martial soul bone armor has all increased significantly.

However, his soul power remained unchanged, stuck at level 79.

After all, Xiao Yuhao's soul rings are all blood sacrificed soul spirits, so he doesn't lack soul power levels.

However, those few levels of soul power consumption can save a lot of luck points.

Electrolux and the spirits also appeared, marveling at Huo Yuhao's multicolored body.

"Zhuge, did you spend all of Yuhao's savings?" Tianmeng asked confidently.

“Oh, it cost over 50.” Zhuge Lan nodded.

“I bet it won’t be more than 25,” Tianmeng said confidently.

"No way? I think 30 is about right," Xiaobai retorted.

"Ha!" Tianmeng crossed her arms: "25 is a conservative estimate. I originally wanted to say 20."

Upon hearing this, Zhuge Lan chuckled.

Tianmeng gently patted her own mouth.

That's still too conservative!

"Zhuge, your heart is truly black!"

"I don't understand what you're saying. I have something to do. Bye-bye."

Switch directly to the third clone.

In the short time it took, we arrived at the cave branch beneath the Sun and Moon Plains.

Long Xiaoyao summoned the Eighth Elder, Sleepy Douluo, who was in charge, and asked him about the Sun and Moon Soil.

"Reporting to the Chief Elder, the Sun and Moon Soil is found everywhere, a thousand meters below the Demon Forest."

"The Sun and Moon Soil scattered in the Demon Forest today was dug out of the ground and discarded when the Holy Spirit Cult built its headquarters."

Zhuge Lan was quite surprised; the stock was huge.

"Then dig up a little more and send it to Mingde Hall for my younger brother," Zhuge Lan instructed.

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

——Fun fact: The Holy Sons and Holy Daughters of the Holy Spirit Cult hold a higher status than the eight elders who are titled Douluo.

Sleepy Douluo accepted the order and withdrew.

Long Xiaoyao looked at Zhuge Lan.

"Of the eight great elders of the Star Luo Empire, which one will you choose as your target for the divine examination?"

"I won't choose any of them." Zhuge Lan said bluntly, "Let's go to the Douling Empire. We'll have to trouble the Chief Elder to find an excuse to wipe out the Douling royal family."

Long Xiaoyao simply nodded and didn't ask any further questions.

There are already nine divine trials in the Land of Inheritance. If you want two second-level deities from others, it's reasonable to do what you can in advance.

Zhuge Lan was very satisfied with this; he liked people who were busy with their work and didn't talk much.

The Douling Empire is located at the easternmost part of the Douluo Continent. It was split off from the Tiandou Empire. It has the smallest territory and naturally its national strength is not strong. In the original work, there are only five titled Douluo, the strongest of whom is Tianyang, who is level 97.

No wonder it was the first country to be destroyed; it was indeed an easy target.

This is not.

Zhuge Lan also intended to start with the Douling Empire, though there was another layer of connection involved.
With Long Xiaoyao activating his martial soul and flying at full speed, he traversed the Douluo Continent in just two days and arrived in the territory of the Douling Empire.

Instead of directly causing trouble for the Douling Royal Family, they first went to the Holy Fire Cult headquarters.

A sweep of mental energy.

Yo!
It seems that the Douling Empire's plan is going smoothly, as Wang Yan and Han Ruoruo are so interested in the middle of the day.

But I'm not here to see them this time; let them have their fun.

quickly.

Zhuge Lan locked onto her target, signaled Long Xiaoyao to wait a moment, and then flashed into the garden.

Xu Sanshi was putting fresh flowers in Jiang Nannan's hair, and the two were very close.

"Wow, your relationship is progressing very quickly."

The teasing voices startled the two of them awake, and they both showed displeasure upon seeing Zhuge Lan.

"Which department are you from?" Xu Sanshi said angrily, "This is a high-level rest area, not a place where just any cult member can enter!"

"Long time no see, you're quite the show-off," Zhuge Lan said with a smile. "Was the Earth Dragon Golden Melon delicious? Jiang Nannan, you were quite resentful when you were chosen by the second-to-last Narcissus Jade Bone, weren't you?"

The existence of the immortal herb is an absolute secret.

Aside from the group that entered the Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire back then, there's absolutely no way anyone could know such details.

Jiang Nannan tentatively asked, "Brother Lan?"

"Huh? How did you guess that?" Zhuge Lan asked curiously.

"It really is you, Brother Lan," Jiang Nannan said with a smile. "A woman's sixth sense."

"Oh! You're a woman now!" Zhuge Lan teased.

"That's right, besides you, Brother Lan, who else would dare to use that kind of tone now?" Xu Sanshi said with a simple smile. "Brother Lan, did you come to the Douling Empire suddenly for some orders?"

"It's nothing much, we're just preparing to wipe out the Douling royal family. You should get ready to take over."

Xu Sanshi: "???"

No!

What did you say?!
