Douluo Continent: Transmigrating into Huo Yuhao's world and inheriting the Angel of Time

Chapter 122 The Choice of Souls, the Beginning of the Great War

Which spirit-type soul should I choose?

"Cultivating dream butterflies among beasts?"

"Is it another kind of mysterious plant?"

"Or... perhaps you're cultivating an Ice Silkworm, Evil Eye?"

"Or perhaps we should choose some other types?"

Inside the Spirit Pagoda, Huo Yuhao looked at the few soul beasts that had been selected and fell into deep thought.

Soul beasts of the time and spirit types are extremely rare. Excluding most of the useless ones and those that I already possess, there are basically none left.

First, the first "Dream Butterfly" is an extremely rare spirit-type beast that lives in the mist. It is not strong in itself, but it has powerful spiritual power that can make people lose their sense of direction and run out of supplies in the mist.

This ability is similar to the mental manipulation that Huo Yuhao envisioned. After all, most Dream Butterflies are a hundred years old. According to records, most Soul Masters at the earlier levels only obtain mental-type Soul Skills that involve interference. Whether they can achieve mental manipulation is still a hypothesis.

The highest-ranking Soul Master, having hunted a Dream Butterfly that had existed for only ten thousand years, acquired a Soul Skill that caused mental instability, allowing the target to fall into a woven dream.

It is considered a soul beast with great potential.

"Strange Grass" is a special kind of grass that makes other types of grass believe that they belong to the same race. Powerful Strange Grass can even control plants and animals, making them willingly offer up their nutrition and life.

In terms of characteristics alone, there is no difference between them and evil spirit masters.

Some people even choose to make it their own spirit ring, which has led to a significant decrease in the number of Ghost Grass.

Especially in the last few thousand years, they have almost become extinct.

Don't ask, the answer is simply the rise of the Holy Spirit Cult.

With so many evil spirit masters, "Strange Grass" naturally has a hard time surviving.

The soul skills he acquired also caught Huo Yuhao's eye.

This kind of subtle, gradual alteration of other things is no different from the spirit of tampering that he imagines.

The others are the famous Ice Silkworm and the Evil Eye clan.

These two types are known for their spirituality, especially the Evil Eye. The Ice Silkworm was completely brought up by Tianmeng.

However, what Huo Yuhao wants right now is mental manipulation.

The choice of the ninth spirit ring had long been considered to be made by the Evil Emperor, after all, he was a nearly 700,000-year-old spiritual-type evil eye, which Huo Yuhao had obtained in the original work.

Why wouldn't he want it?

And the choice of the eighth spirit ring—

After much deliberation, Huo Yuhao decided to cultivate both the Dream Butterfly and the Ghost Grass simultaneously, first observing the effects after 50,000 years, then after 80,000 years, before deciding which one to cultivate to 100,000 years.

With that in mind, Huo Yuhao did just that.

A separate room was prepared, and Dream Butterfly and Ghost Grass were placed into Soul Orbs, ready to be invested with a large amount of resources.

As for money!

Huo Yuhao currently has everything he needs.

Three days ago, Ning Tian and Sect Master Ning personally led the entire Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School to Luoyang City. The vast resources and gold coins instantly propelled the stagnant Spirit Transmission Tower back into high-speed motion.

However, while it was a good thing, it also brought bad things.

Tang San, as expected, still had to make a move on that thing by the roadside.

They actually arranged for the Haotian Sect to launch a joint attack on Huo Yuhao.

He didn't have much time left.

Therefore, he needs to obtain his eighth spirit ring as soon as possible, and even accelerate his breakthrough to the Title Douluo level. Although he is not afraid of Di Tian and Xue Di, he should always consider his escape route.

What if Di Tian and his group are blocked?

Faced with tens of thousands of soldiers, plus a group of titled Douluo, even if he could create countless clones, he would still find it difficult to withstand them.

Therefore, he urgently needs strength to fill the gaps in his abilities.

At the same time, Huo Yuhao was training his army on the other side. However, relying solely on the current training methods would definitely not be enough to contend with the battle-hardened soldiers of the three great empires.

He trained these soldiers solely to prevent riots within Luoyang and to guard the city gates.

Throughout Luoyang, following Huo Yuhao's commands, this massive machine began to operate continuously.

At that time, the fate of the Spirit Pagoda would be revealed in the great battle a month later.

Originally, Huo Yuhao planned to provoke the enemy himself and then proceed slowly, but unexpectedly, Tang San actually led the Clear Sky Sect to launch a joint attack.

This was somewhat unexpected.

However, those spirit towers built in other empires were not built for nothing.

Right now, Huo Yuhao is on the defensive. Compared to launching a sneak attack on their base and slowing things down for a while, his effectiveness will be much greater when he becomes stronger and launches a counterattack.

After all, their hometown is their hometown. Although they didn't come out in full force, they still had a Title Douluo in charge. Stealing their home would be too inefficient and would only expose the BOSS of the teleportation array.

Use it only when it's most critical.

Besides, who said you can only use a teleportation array to raid someone's base?

While Huo Yuhao was on high alert, Xu Tianran of the Sun Moon Empire had already led his troops north.

Sixteen titled Douluo, plus an army of 500,000.

With such a lineup, let alone destroying a small city like Luoyang, it would be difficult for even other empires to cope with it. This lineup is practically designed to wipe out entire nations.

"Hahaha."

At this moment, Xu Tianran was in high spirits. His former prosthetic limbs seemed to have returned to their true form. He seemed to have already foreseen that his victory was just around the corner.

His desire for men reached its peak at this moment.

"Your Majesty, news has arrived from Xingluo and Tianhun Empire." At this moment, a slender figure approached him and whispered.

"It's Orange, come here." Xu Tianran's lips curled up slightly, and he waved his hand, pulling Orange directly into his arms. Looking at the figure in front of him, clad in red armor that perfectly outlined her delicate body, he felt a surge of heat in his heart.

A rose-red cloak draped over Orange's back, making her look even more dashing. On her chest was a fiery red phoenix pattern, with the phoenix spreading its wings as if about to take flight.

Her skin was extremely fair and delicate, like crystal jelly.

It seems that you could squeeze water out with just a gentle pinch.

"Ju Zi, how about giving me a child after this great victory?" Xu Tianran said, taking a deep sniff of Ju Zi's chest with great relish.

"Your Majesty may have as many as you wish."

Orange blushed and said shyly, her clothes making her look like a typical young lady, which made Xu Tianran want to devour her right then and there.

Unfortunately, even though he wanted it, he found that his lower body did not move or undulate at all, as if it were an ornament.

"Alright, with war imminent, I can't indulge in pleasure. Tell me, what's the matter?" Xu Tianran forcibly suppressed his desire and asked.

"The stars are heading east, and the heavenly souls are heading west. Both empires are already preparing to send troops, just waiting for news of our northward march." Orange appeared normal on the surface, but inwardly she rolled her eyes.

As someone close to Xu Tianran, how could she not know that Xu Tianran was impotent?

Even though God said He could do anything, she didn't really trust Him. She believed that relying on others was risky, and that only relying on herself was the true path.

If God truly loves the world, how could He allow so many grievances to occur on the mainland?

Compared to those ethereal divine pronouncements.

Instead, let's go find the magic herb.

However, this is for the best. She no longer needs to seek out those royal offspring to conceive, and can continue to carry out her plans in peace.

First, gain prestige in the army, then quietly expand your influence, then have a child, support the child to ascend the throne, and pass it on to her. At that time, she will be a female emperor, unprecedented in history.

In the original work, Ju Zi is an extremely complex and tragic character. She was once the empress of the Sun Moon Empire, wielding great power, yet she could never escape the shackles of fate.

Her ending, seemingly glorious, was in fact filled with helplessness and loneliness.

Orange's tragedy began when she was forced to marry Xu Tianran.

She was originally a young girl in love, harboring a deep affection for Huo Yuhao, but fate pushed her to the position of Empress of the Sun Moon Empire. She was filled with hatred for Xu Tianran, but in order to take revenge, she had to use Xu Tianran's power.

Her relationship with Huo Yuhao became increasingly complicated in this complex situation.

After becoming empress, Orange's ambition gradually swelled.

She not only demonstrated unparalleled talent in military affairs, but also gradually seized control of the Sun Moon Empire through a series of political maneuvers.

She led the army of the Sun Moon Empire, successively destroying the Heavenly Soul Empire and the Fighting Spirit Empire, and even pushing the Star Luo Empire to the brink of destruction.

However, her ambition and methods also earned her countless infamy.

Orange's love and hate became a double-edged sword in her fate.

Her love for Huo Yuhao never changed, but she could not be with him. In order to take revenge, she did not hesitate to use Huo Yuhao's seed to give birth to her son Xu Yunhan, and Xu Tianran knew about it and tacitly approved of it.

The birth of Xu Yunhan further complicated the relationship between Ju Zi and Xu Tianran. Although Xu Tianran knew that Xu Yunhan was not his biological son, he still used Ju Zi and Xu Yunhan as tools to consolidate his position.

When Xu Tianran sacrificed Xu Yunhan for his own ambition, Ju Zi finally snapped.

She joined forces with Huo Yuhao and Tang Wutong to successfully kill Xu Tianran, avenging her son.

But her actions—

This also completely severed her relationship with Huo Yuhao.

Huo Yuhao could not accept the choices she made in pursuit of revenge, and ultimately chose to sever ties with her.

After Xu Tianran's death, Ju Zi became the Empress Dowager of the Sun Moon Empire, nominally controlling the fate of the entire empire.

But her heart was filled with loneliness.

She lost Huo Yuhao, and she also lost the love that truly belonged to her.

Although her son, Xu Yunhan, inherited Huo Yuhao's bloodline, he could not fill the emptiness in her heart.

Her power and status could not free her from the cruel tricks of fate.

The orange's fate was to grow old alone.

Although she became the Empress Dowager of the Sun Moon Empire, her heart was never at peace.

Her love for Huo Yuhao.

It became the biggest regret of her life.

Her path of revenge ultimately led her to lose herself and the most important thing in her life.

Now, although Huo Yuhao and she are not acquainted or familiar with each other, they are repeating the original trajectory. Fate is not something that anyone can break.

"I will surely unify the Great Luo Continent."

Just as Xu Tianran was in high spirits, a sergeant rushed to his carriage and said in a trembling voice, "Your Majesty, something terrible has happened! The supply rations have been burned."

"What did you say?!"

Upon hearing this, Xu Tianran immediately flew into a rage and demanded, "What are you all good for? You can't even keep an eye on the grain?"

"This—this—the master of the Spirit Pagoda suddenly appeared next to the grain cart, set a few fires, and disappeared. We—we are truly powerless."

The sergeant knelt on the ground, his whole body trembling uncontrollably.

He didn't know what had happened either.

Even though there were titled Douluo in charge of the grain supply, Huo Yuhao somehow managed to get to the grain transport site and then suddenly disappeared into thin air.

The titled Douluo who was in charge had just discovered the anomaly: most of the food supplies were gone, and the people had disappeared; he was just someone who had come to deliver a message.

"Useless, a bunch of useless trash!!!"

Xu Qiran angrily smashed the teacup in his hand on the ground and immediately ordered, "Drag this man out and execute him."

As the saying goes, "An army marches on its stomach."

It is easy to imagine how important food supplies are to a large army.

Now that the food supplies are gone, we must quell the public anger, and the sergeant in front of us is a good example.

"Your Majesty, spare me! Your Majesty, spare me!"

No matter how sincere the sergeant's attitude was, it was to no avail.

"Hey, isn't this the new Emperor of the Sun and Moon?"

"Why are you so angry about smashing it?"

Just then, a familiar voice that seemed out of place suddenly rang out.

Just then, as the army marched ahead, Huo Yuhao lay calmly on a tree trunk, savoring fine wine, and looked at Xu Tianran with a smug smile.

"Huo Yuhao?"

"I never expected you would actually dare to show up here. It's like you've chosen the path to hell when there's one for you."

Upon seeing Huo Yuhao, Xu Tianran's eyes lit up with joy. Their goal was Huo Yuhao, and if they could capture him here, they wouldn't need to attack Luoyang.

At that time, he would also deserve the greatest credit!

"Men, seize him!"

As soon as Xu Tianran finished speaking, dozens of powerful figures rushed out. Each of them possessed the combat power of a Title Douluo, and there were even hundreds of cannons aimed at Huo Yuhao in the shadows.

"The pressure is immense, but it's still not enough!"

Huo Yuhao calmly crushed the wooden plaque in his hand, and his figure vanished instantly, leaving only a tree that had endured an attack that its age should not have had to bear.

"What's going on?"

Xu Tianran frowned, looking at the deep pit in front of him that had been blasted into dust in disbelief. He was a titled Douluo himself, how could he not have any sense of perception?

Huo Yuhao's figure was clearly right in front of me just now, so how did he disappear?

The next second, another officer suddenly appeared, looking exactly like the first one, and said tremblingly, "Your Majesty, something terrible has happened! The tower master of the Spirit Pagoda has attacked Mingdu, and the main gate has been demolished!!"

"What did you say?!"
