Douluo Continent: Angel Saint Huo Yuhao

Chapter 135 Three Gods
“Child, now that you have touched this power and seen this footage, it proves that you have already stood at the starting point of this path…”

"Although I don't know exactly how many years it took you to get to this point, I suppose your realm has already reached the Soul Saint level? Perhaps five years have passed?"

"At this point... I'm afraid this old man has already returned to the Golden Tree... Heh. Shrek Academy has also entered a new era where its glory is tarnished."

Within the ball of light, Mu En appeared remarkably energetic, even his almost folded spine straightened, exuding the unparalleled demeanor befitting a Limit Douluo.

However, when the academy he had dedicated his life to was mentioned, the sorrow in the phantom's eyes deepened, and he began to show signs of aging again.

"The energy I'm leaving you is a unique soul skill I created with half a lifetime of effort—Reign Over the World! It aims to integrate spiritual power into soul power, thus adding a spiritual boost to attacks."

"Unfortunately, my talent is limited. Despite my best efforts in the second half of my life, I have not been able to develop the next step, which is the technique of integrating soul power into the spirit..."

With that, Moon looked at Huo Yuhao, who had appeared in the Sea of ​​Spirit with a look of emotion: "You are the most amazing genius I have ever seen. Perhaps you can take the next step for me and show me the splendor of that higher realm."

puff~
The phantom shattered, and the entire mass of golden energy transformed into a ring of wondrous ripples. Wherever the waves passed, the originally rippling sea of ​​spirit suddenly calmed down, spreading out into a clear circle.

Under the faint golden glow, Huo Yuhao could even see through the water layer to the mental sand layer below.

Silk--

The foundation of that sea of ​​spirits loosened slightly, and whirlpools emerged from the still waters, leaking a massive amount of spiritual energy downwards.

The soul power vortex that lay quietly rotating in the dantian sensed the disturbance and, in response, began to rise and sway in the air with its cold soul power.

A stream of water, silvery-white with a hint of gold.

A cloud of snow-white mist enveloping an icy blue hue.

Two forces of completely different natures converged at the Crimson Palace, forming a small, continuously merging vortex that gave rise to several wisps of strange, primordial energy.

Open your eyes.

Huo Yuhao's aura underwent a rapid transformation during this brief anomaly, changing from an ethereal mystery into a blazing flame that was both internally and externally harmonious and gradually rising.

It also spread out a wave of soul power that nearly crushed the spirit and shattered the body.

To the five outsiders, it seemed as if Huo Yuhao had only blinked his eyes, and a world-shaking transformation had occurred in the blink of an eye.

"Could this guy... have achieved enlightenment?"

This was the first time Jing Ziyan had ever seen such a strange sight.

"Not like."

Tang Xiaolei's lips twitched, and a pricking sensation flashed in his eyes the moment he looked at him: "But his mental cultivation has reached an inhuman level!"

To be honest, he really suspected that the other party was an old monster who was born with a youthful appearance and only looked young because of his dwarf physique.

'Judging from this... he's currently integrating his spiritual power into his soul power?'

Ji Juechen noticed something amiss and subconsciously glanced at Ye Wuqing.

Between the two, he developed a technique that combined spiritual power with martial soul to generate sharp sword intent, while Ye Wuqing used the Golden Leaf Martial Soul to integrate spiritual power into his golden left hand.

Now, it seems that Huo Yuhao is also going to pull soul power into the fusion pool.

……

"Oh!"

A surge of violent energy erupted, and Ji Ye and his companion, who were charging at full speed, were sent flying backward as if they had been hit by a charging bull.

However, Huo Yuhao, the culprit, appeared full of fighting spirit, clenching his fists and charging forward with the force to destroy mountains:
"Come again!"

"So strong!" Although he had anticipated Huo Yuhao's strength, Ji Juechen still couldn't help but marvel when they actually clashed head-on.

His mind raced, but his sword, driven by instinct, had already slashed out in an arc, extending several feet into a blade of light.

After witnessing the Emperor Sword that day, Ji Juechen seemed to have a sudden enlightenment and completely abandoned those high-level soul tools and rare treasures such as extraterrestrial meteorite iron. Instead, he picked up the ordinary iron longsword again as the carrier of his sword intent.

Admittedly, this behavior would significantly reduce his current combat strength. However, in his heart, he had already realized a broad and promising path, which led to a further enhancement of his sword intent.

"Bang~"

The hastily condensed sword intent naturally couldn't withstand Huo Yuhao's heavy punch and shattered instantly.

But Ji Juechen also seized the opportunity to adjust in that instant.

With his feet on the ground and his hands holding the sword, he rediscovered his initial passion for swordsmanship in this basic stance that he had practiced countless times.

'What I hone... is my own sword! My own will! Not those iron bars that are merely external objects...'

With a thought, the sword slashes.

Those sword techniques that Ji Juechen had once given names that were either childish or awkward were merged into one, stripping away those unnecessary fancy names, and simply named it: "Sword, Part One!"

Zheng——

In Huo Yuhao's eyes, the ordinary iron sword that was slashing towards him seemed to have awakened a life-like will, and it came with a pressure that almost burst out of the opponent's spirit.

"That's more like it... I knew you guys were no ordinary people!"

Faced with this scene, Huo Yuhao, who had always pursued tranquility, was truly inspired to fight for the first time, and for the first time resonated with those who were engrossed in battle.

There is an opponent worth defeating, an opponent for whom you can fight with all your might and experience a truly exhilarating battle...

Stand right there!
"Come!"

Echoing the heat within his blood, Huo Yuhao unleashed a punch with golden light in his eyes. The soul power and spiritual power that had been faintly separated just moments before were forged together again in this clash.

The experience of ruling the world that Moon left behind was only a brief one; it could only make him remember the seamless operation and the feeling of seamless integration.

How far he can go next depends on his own understanding.

The path Huo Yuhao chose, and the medium he chose, was…

fist!
With the palm possessing the Great Cold and no Snow, and the sword possessing the Ice Extreme and unparalleled skill, given that the path ahead has already been explored, Huo Yuhao would inevitably be interfered with by the Snow Emperor's Three Absolute Skills if he continued on this path.

He himself did not like to rely on weapons or external forces, so the best choice was the 'fist' method, which he had never ventured into before.

"Peng Peng...!"

The two fought several times in a short period of time, just like forging iron. Every time Ji Juechen put in his best effort, he would help Huo Yuhao take a step forward, and he enjoyed it so much that he became more and more excited as the fight went on.

Ji Juechen was afraid that he had too few companions!
"Boom~"

Just as the two were locked in fierce combat, a dazzling golden beam of light burst into the battlefield.

"Have you two forgotten about me?"

Ye Wuqing stretched out a pair of golden palms and slammed them out, forcibly squeezing into the battle and withstanding the attacks of the two on the left and right.

Although he coughed up blood under the combined attack of the two, his fighting spirit only increased. He gathered his energy and unleashed golden light from his palms, blasting the two away.
