Douluo Continent: Angel Saint Huo Yuhao

Chapter 183 Undead Magic
In the midst of a wide, deep valley.

Old Yi strolled around with his staff, yet numerous faint magic arrays illuminated around him, making each step seem like a teleportation, leaving a phantom trail as he moved through the ruins as if on flat ground.

In less than a minute, the two angels behind them rushed to the place where blood and qi were stagnant.

"This is... a rib!"

As soon as Yu Mengdi landed, she felt that she had accidentally broken something. Looking down, she discovered that the hole she had dug open was filled with rotting corpses.

Some were completely unremarkable, showing no fluctuation of soul power, so much so that in her perception they were grouped together with earth and stone.

Some bones are soaked in blood-red patterns, and even now one can still feel the ferocious power unique to evil spirit masters.

Some of the remains, which appeared exceptionally hard, turned into strange fragments scattered around.

"These Soul Masters exploded as if they had been loaded with pre-loaded cannonballs."

Ye Guyi kicked the scattered bones with a strange look in his eyes, and couldn't help but feel a chill run down his spine: "What an evil and terrifying method."

Just how powerful was that evil spirit master who used to be active here?
Contra? Or even a title ban?
I wonder if that guy has been successfully eliminated yet...

More than 570 lives were lost here. Most of them were innocent, ordinary people.

Sensing the deathly aura of this place, Old Yi seemed somewhat melancholy, as if he were thinking of some past events.

But he quickly regained his composure and gently tapped the ground with his staff: "You must watch carefully from now on... This will be your new lesson."

Before this, he was worried that necromancy might not be a good fit for Huo Yuhao, but now that the latter has shown an incredibly exaggerated spiritual talent, Elder Yi is also considering passing on his skills.

Especially when Huo Yuhao released mental chains to bind vengeful spirits, and then used the power of his emotions to create evil ghosts...

Old Yi even began to suspect that Huo Yuhao might be a living undead.

"Soul Barrier."

First, he raised his staff to unleash an invisible barrier. Then, Elder Yi gently tapped the air in front of him with the staff, creating ripples. Layers of light arrays lit up as the ripples floated.

Soul Summoning, Divine Ring, Advanced Soul Purification...

Without a spell or delay, Elder Yi casually placed his staff and released this seventh-tier combination spell.

A magical process, resembling a factory assembly line, was instantly activated, liberating all the remaining souls in this place from their dazed state.

At the same time, it will also completely purify those evil spirit masters or evil souls, erasing their last traces of existence.

Among them, three souls that were noticeably more solidified actually withstood the purification and even gradually regained some consciousness, their eyes regaining their spiritual light.

"Advanced soul revival".

Old Yi waved a fluorescent green magic circle, and specks of magical light, like fragments, merged into the souls of the three, restoring their souls to completeness and clarity.

Then, the magic circle seamlessly transitioned into a deathly gray:
"High-ranking undead spawned."

As the old man recited the last sentence, he set the three undead races to be vengeful spirits without physical support, and then forcibly changed their racial attributes through the power of magic, creating vengeful spirits with the attribute of purification.

With their innate purification abilities, they can resist the resentment naturally generated by the vengeful spirit race and maintain a long period of lucidity.

"Unfortunately, purification is just a special attribute I derived from magic, and its growth potential is far less than that of light and holiness."

Old Yi seemed somewhat dissatisfied and sighed softly.

"... "

Huo Yuhao remained silent throughout, fearing that Elder Yi might suddenly call on him to ask what he had just discerned.

Compared to those visceral acts of destruction and eye-catching displays of power, the strength displayed by Elder Yi was somewhat less noticeable, yet it revealed a kind of effortless and unrestrained power.

"Hmm~"

Under the almost bewildered gaze of the two angels, the three vengeful spirits trembled and opened their eyes, a clear light appearing in their illusory pupils. "What's wrong with me?"

Yao Haoxuan stared blankly at the translucent hands: "Could this be... what a person looks like after death?"

His memory was still stuck on the moment he pounced on Ma Xiaotao; after that, all he could remember was the stench of burning and the searing pain that spread throughout his body.

Xixi touched her half-face in a daze. The half of her body that should have been blacked out and disconnected suddenly returned, leaving her somewhat at a loss.

"Haoxuan? And Xixi too!"

Gongyang Mo stared at the two people in front of him, then suddenly laughed with relief: "It seems I'm the last one."

The rest of them should all have survived safely...

Oh, and Chen Zifeng too!

He was initially worried that his teammate, who possessed a weapon spirit, wouldn't be able to withstand the damage, but he didn't expect that this guy would be so resilient and actually pull through.

"Gongyang Mo?"

Yao Haoxuan turned his gaze over, and his first reaction was one of extreme nervousness. Seeing that the support-type Soul Master standing at the back of the team was dead, he thought that the entire team had been completely wiped out.

But after glancing around, his eyes filled with even more confusion: "This is the cave... though it's been destroyed. And—"

Yao Haoxuan and his teammates looked Huo Yuhao up and down, as well as the two angels following behind him.

Finally, Xixi frowned with a strange look in her eyes and asked, "Have I seen this somewhere before?"

Although Huo Yuhao now had gray flames in his eyes and long hair, that inexplicable sense of familiarity still led her into memories, and she finally exclaimed in utter astonishment, "You are that junior!"

She had a very deep impression of Huo Yuhao.

When the other person first ambushed her with two companions, she thought they were just looking for trouble. Who knew that this guy's gaze could follow her every move and even see through her long-developed special technique?

"Junior?"

Yao Haoxuan was stunned for a moment: "You're a student of Shrek Academy?...Then what are the three of us like now...?"

"I did attend Shrek Academy for the first two years."

Huo Yuhao smiled and said, "As for your current appearance, you should be called 'vengeful spirits', right?"

"what!"

The three of them paled simultaneously. Xixi glanced at Huo Yuhao's current demeanor and the staff in his hand, her eyes flashing with even greater shock and anger: "Are you an evil soul master? Are you collecting our souls for cultivation? Or are you planning to harm even more people?"

'It's happening again...'

Huo Yuhao finally realized just how badly those evil soul masters had tarnished the reputation of the undead.

Realizing that it was pointless to waste his breath, he could only raise his hand in acknowledgment.

"Pu~"

Having received his command, two angels behind him, one on the left and one on the right, spread their wings and held swords to the ground.

To their surprise, the three people opposite them were even more horrified upon seeing this: "You actually enslaved two Angel Soul Masters?!"

Huo Yuhao's face darkened instantly, and even Ye Guyi and Yu Mengdi's lips twitched slightly.

The fourth ring, in turn, strongly suppresses the sixth ring angel.

Are there really any evil spirit masters in this world with such abilities? These people are probably just talking nonsense.
