Douluo Continent, I, Huo Yuhao, defy fate with my spiritual eyes.

The tall, knee-high weeds rustled as a group of people walked through them.

Huo Yuhao thought for a long time before coming up with a better plan, and he volunteered to take on the task.

"Sister Tao, my 'God's eye' perspective gives me a strong ability to scout the surroundings. Let me check the area first before I make a move!"

That makes a lot of sense, but Ma Xiaotao waved her hand dismissively, looking quite arrogant.

"Why bother with all this trouble for a mere Soul King? It's a waste of time. I'll just go in and unleash a Phoenix Flame, and he'll become a Dead Evil Soul Master!"

Huo Yuhao sighed inwardly, "I really underestimated my opponent."

The overwhelming gap in strength and the pride emanating from Shrek Academy caused Ma Xiaotao and her friends to completely lose their caution.

He shook his head, insisting on his own idea.

"No, even though they are Soul Kings, evil Soul Masters who have been able to hold out for so long must have some means of self-preservation. If we are not careful, we may be killed or even lose personnel."

Huo Yuhao looked at Ma Xiaotao with unwavering determination, refusing to back down.

"Our goal is to win the Soul Master Competition, Sister Tao. You wouldn't want Shrek Academy to lose all the honor they've earned over the years because of your carelessness, would you?"

Listening to Huo Yuhao's analysis, Ma Xiaotao also hesitated. It was only a waste of time, but it was indeed much better than the possibility of losing people due to risks.

Zhang Lexuan, who was leading the team, also looked at this junior brother, who was the youngest, most talented, and so cautious, with new eyes.

It is truly admirable that someone of this age has achieved so much, yet remains humble and vigilant.

Huo Yuhao nimbly moved through the woods, while the others remained on guard, monitoring the movements of the Grim Reaper.

Huo Yuhao moved swiftly among the trees, his eyes sharp. He planned to create some danger first to see if he could trigger a corpse explosion.

Anyway, I have necromancy and the necklace Yan Shaozhe gave me, so staying alive won't be a problem.

Running far away from the Shrek Seven Devils, Huo Yuhao's pupils turned gray as he carefully searched for the entrance to the Corpse Cave.

With the aid of necromancy, Huo Yuhao could see some traces left by the dead.

"I've noticed something strange," Huo Yuhao murmured softly.

"Huh? Why are there so many undead here?"

From Huo Yuhao's perspective, the number of undead here was absurdly high, not the kind of number a Soul King could kill.

Could it be the butterfly effect that he advanced to become a Soul Emperor?

After a thought crossed his mind, Huo Yuhao's expression turned serious, and he felt uneasy.

After searching, it was found that although there were many spirits in the area, there were no corpses.

Logically speaking, most evil spirit masters would choose one or two body parts as their cultivation requirements.

Similar to soul, blood, bones, and skin, cultivating using a complete corpse requires too much energy, and the resentment is too terrifying, so very few evil spirit masters do this.

Following the trail of the dead, Huo Yuhao quickly found the entrance to the Corpse Cave, where a cave entrance made of jagged rocks appeared before him.

After changing his clothes, Huo Yuhao grabbed the Shrek Academy's inspection team uniform and pouted speechlessly.

This outfit, aside from projecting Shrek Academy's imposing presence to outsiders, is utterly useless against evil spirit masters.

The evil spirit master was already a desperate criminal, and didn't care who the people coming were, since they were all going to kill him anyway.

Even the Shrek Inspection Team's uniforms could easily lead to their discovery.

Putting his clothes away, Huo Yuhao became more vigilant and began to explore the cave little by little.

The cave had been arranged in an extremely gruesome manner, with corpses nailed to the cave walls by stone pillars, stretching all the way into the depths.

The Death Messenger was also an obsessive-compulsive, and the corpse pit he arranged was very systematic. The corpses of young and middle-aged men were placed on both sides, the corpses of women were all on top, and the corpses of several infants were completely pierced through.

The infant appeared to have been tortured for a long time before birth, with its entire body covered in bruises and black marks, and its limbs bent at bizarre angles, clearly broken.

Upon witnessing this scene again, Huo Yuhao felt as if all the blood in his body was rushing to his head, his pupils congested, and his whole body went cold.

"You bastard!"

Electrolux's somber voice rang out, filled with undisguised murderous intent.

"Yuhao, we absolutely cannot let this guy get away with this! The existence of this scum is a desecration of necromancy!"

In Electrolux's view, necromancy is the reverse application of life energy, an exploration of the power of the soul, and an interpretation of the rules of the cycle of life and death.

Instead of using torture to torment their fellow human beings, causing them to harbor resentment and then using them as weapons!

Huo Yuhao nodded, his face gloomy, and remained silent.

As Huo Yuhao continued deeper into the area, he felt increasingly uneasy. In his previous life, the Grim Reaper had a group of bandits as his subordinates, but even after venturing far into the depths, he hadn't encountered a single bandit.

No... something's not right!

Huo Yuhao immediately decided to retreat.

"Hehehe! Once you're here, you're not leaving!"

A strange figure dressed in a black robe, thin and eerie, whose face was obscured by the robe, and who was accompanied by an eerie, ghostly green flame.

His spirit rings, three yellow and two purple, flashed, and he moved quickly, covering several meters in an instant.

"Grass!"

Huo Yuhao cursed and activated the necklace on his chest without hesitation. A white light flashed, and his figure disappeared from the spot.

However, the activation speed was too fast, and Huo Yuhao did not inject much spiritual power, only enough to teleport to the cave entrance.

The man in black robes missed his target, looked around in disbelief, found Huo Yuhao at the cave entrance, and quickly pounced on him.

"Sister Tao, help me!!"

As soon as he stepped out of the cave, Huo Yuhao let out a loud roar that soared into the sky, yet not a single bird was startled.

In the distance, Ma Xiaotao, who was waiting anxiously, suddenly looked up. Phoenix Fire Wings suddenly appeared behind her, and she pounced towards the direction of the sound.

The others also quickly got up and moved forward in an orderly manner, wary of potential dangers.

Huo Yuhao unleashed his martial soul, using the Divine Might Emperor's Descent as a normal attack, relentlessly bombarding the Death Messenger, causing it to stumble and howl in pain.

Ma Xiaotao arrived at the scene quickly and stood in the air in silence.

Huo Yuhao was shouting and yelling, his spirit rings flashing, looking utterly miserable as if he had been bullied.

Meanwhile, the black-robed man on the side had his robe slip off at some point, revealing an ordinary yet distinctive face.

He has an ordinary, generic face like a grim reaper, but what's unique is that after being tormented by countless divine beings, he has snot and tears streaming down his face, wrinkles gathering, and his skin wrinkled like an orange peel.

He wiped the snot and tears from his face while angrily cursing Huo Yuhao.

"Shut up, you son of a bitch! I didn't even touch you, and you're yelling like I killed your whole family! Shut up!!"

Enraged, the Grim Reaper tried to grab Huo Yuhao again, but Huo Yuhao nimbly dodged him and was hit by the Divine Might Emperor's Descent, falling heavily to the ground.

Others arrived as well, watching the scene with hesitation.

There's no need for them; Huo Yuhao alone can handle this evil soul master.

Seeing that more and more people were gathering and that she still couldn't touch Huo Yuhao, she knew she had no chance. With a fierce look in her eyes, she decisively gave up on continuing to pester him.

He pretended to give chase, but when he got close to the cave entrance, he suddenly ran back, his yellow spirit ring lighting up as he ran.

A cloud of dark green corpse poison sprayed out from his buttocks, both propelling him forward and hindering his pursuit.
