Douluo Continent: The Eye of Truth

Chapter 97 Re-battle Against the Poisonous Undying

Under the control of the Poison Immortal, the remaining dragon ball of the Mirage Dragon naturally couldn't cause any trouble.

Using the same old method, Huo Yuhao absorbed the soul left in the Dragon Pearl by the Mirage Dragon through soul devouring, thus strengthening his spiritual power once again.

Subsequently, as Huo Yuhao destroyed the Dragon Ball and killed the Mirage Dragon, in addition to the normally produced red 100,000-year soul ring, the soul bone produced by this Mirage Dragon was also quite unique.

Unlike ordinary soul beast soul bones, the parts that are produced are fixed.

Although the soul bone produced by this 100,000-year-old mirage dragon is not an external soul bone, its shape is very similar to a cloud, drifting aimlessly in mid-air without forming a fixed form.

They are subtly connected to each other, coming together to evolve into all sorts of strange and wonderful soul beasts and scenarios.

This is precisely the unique characteristic of soul beasts like the Mirage Dragon.

Before their cultivation reached 100,000 years, if such soul beasts produced soul bones, they would always produce a part of their torso bones, which were the source of the huge outer shell that protected their soft flesh and the dragon ball.

Because during this period, their shells contained enormous energy, and after tens of thousands of years of accumulation, their defensive strength was comparable to that of some top-tier defensive soul beasts.

However, once the Mirage Dragon's cultivation reaches a true level of 100,000 years, its entire essence will transform into the Mirage Dragon Pearl. At this point, the Mirage Dragon's outer shell, apart from retaining its original magnificent appearance, will have lost all its function.

It could even be said that at this point, the shell of the mirage dragon was basically formed from illusory water vapor, rather than a real entity.

Therefore, after stealing the Dragon Ball and killing the Mirage Dragon, its outer shell will naturally dissipate. And when the Mirage Dragon's Dragon Ball is destroyed, the energy inside will combine with its own attributes and turn into a half-illusory, half-real cloud.

This cloud-like mist is the soul bone produced by the Mirage Dragon. However, before being absorbed and fused by a Soul Master, this soul bone does not have a fixed location, but it can change and fit the area that the Soul Master wants to fuse with.

Apart from its first owner, the person who inherits the Mirage Dragon Soul Bone afterward will only be able to inherit the part that was fixed by the previous owner.

Now that Huo Yuhao is going to integrate it, he naturally needs to choose the most suitable location.

However, the 100,000-year-old mirage dragon is good at illusion and transformation, but its actual combat strength is not very strong. So if it were fused into a torso bone, it would not be bad as a 100,000-year-old soul bone, but it would be a bit of a waste.

Besides the torso bone, Huo Yuhao had also learned from Du Busi that there was a suitable left arm bone in the Body Sect, so Huo Yuhao naturally would not choose to fuse the Mirage Dragon Cloud Qi with his left arm.

Since that's the case, let's choose the right arm bone. Anyway, apart from the skull and torso bones, the importance of the soul bones in the limbs is about the same.

"Good disciple, quickly absorb it. Such a strange soul bone will surely bring you two remarkable soul bone skills."

The joy in Du Bu Si's eyes intensified as he watched Huo Yu Hao grow stronger, and his hope burned ever brighter.

Aside from Huo Yuhao's original potential, if Huo Yuhao can now possess sufficient strength, then after promoting his theories throughout the entire Body Sect, the Body Sect will surely become a true hegemonic force!

As for the original plan, to preserve the prosperity of the Body Sect for a hundred years after Huo Yuhao grows up?

It seems rather ridiculous now. With Huo Yuhao around, the Body Sect might even be able to achieve lasting fame and bring blessings to future generations!

Huo Yuhao sat cross-legged, using his spiritual and soul power to guide the mirage cloud energy, gradually merging it into his right arm.

As Huo Yuhao drew his hand, the mirage cloud swirled and coiled around his right arm, its shape gradually transforming into a dragon form, before undergoing a thousand changes and taking on various other forms.

It wasn't until Huo Yuhao's spiritual power and soul power finally established a complete connection with it that he successfully integrated the mirage dragon cloud energy into his right arm, transforming it into a brand new soul bone.

However, Huo Yuhao was not idle during the fusion process. Since the Mirage Dragon Soul Bone was so malleable, wouldn't it be a waste not to make good use of it?

Therefore, on the basis of his original soul skill, Huo Yuhao added some other things. As the soul bone was fully formed, Huo Yuhao's aura became much stronger, but it seemed to have a more ethereal feel.

Without wasting any time, Huo Yuhao adjusted his state and continued to absorb the spirit ring produced by the Mirage Dragon in front of him.

The energy and mental pressure contained in the 100,000-year soul ring are extremely powerful. Even though Huo Yuhao devoured the soul of the Mirage Dragon, his body was still struggling to withstand it.

After all, Huo Yuhao is still too young. Even with a series of fortunate opportunities, his physique is far from reaching its current peak.

However, with the support of the Life Gold and the help of the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm in the Sea of ​​Spirit, Huo Yuhao was able to successfully absorb the power of the 100,000-year-old soul ring after sealing off some of its power.

However, with Huo Yuhao's fifth soul ring also being a complete 100,000-year soul ring, the soul power within Huo Yuhao's body was indeed somewhat excessive and unstable at this moment.

In this situation, Huo Yuhao still needs to spend time condensing and compressing the soul power in his body until they are completely integrated before he can remove the seal on the sixth soul ring and completely absorb it.

However, with the help of the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm and the advantage of having all his meridians open, this process should take no more than half a year to complete. After that, Huo Yuhao will be able to cultivate normally and continue to break through to the next realm.

Opening his eyes, Huo Yuhao exhaled a long breath, which then split into two, clear and turbid, circulating around his body like two small dragons, which was quite miraculous.

"Good disciple, let your master see how much you've improved after fusing with the mirage dragon's soul bone and soul ring!"

Du Bu Si laughed loudly, then flashed and appeared on the distant sea. At the same time, he waved his hand, and an irresistible force pulled Huo Yuhao towards him and flew quickly.

Huo Yuhao smiled slightly. With his martial soul activating, his fifth and sixth soul rings flashed. A dragon's roar resounded through the sky, and at the same time, an incomparably domineering aura pressed outward.

One of the fifth spirit ring skills: Mental Touch!

One of the sixth spirit ring skills: Cloud Dragon!

The fifth spirit ring skill that the Evil Eye Tyrant brought to Huo Yuhao not only amplified his spiritual power, but also allowed him to maintain a certain connection with Huo Yuhao after leaving his body, enabling him to control the spirit ring freely without any delay, just like his hands and feet.

The sixth soul skill was brought by the Mirage Dragon. With its help, the elemental power contained in the surrounding environment can be used by the user as long as it is compatible with the user.

With the combination of these two soul skills, a cloud dragon grew against the wind until it was nearly a hundred meters long before stopping. Then, following the pull of the Undying Poison, the cloud dragon bared its fangs and claws and charged directly at him.

It appears to be formed from clouds, but the structure that makes up this cloud dragon is actually a combination of soul power and spiritual power, along with the resonance of elemental forces in the surrounding world.

The power contained in this cloud dragon is almost comparable to that of an ordinary Title Douluo.

"Alright, alright, looks like I need to get serious too!"

Du Bu Si raised an eyebrow. With the appearance of Yun Long, Huo Yu Hao's figure had already disappeared from his perception.

This is also a soul skill that Huo Yuhao received from his fifth soul ring, called Spiritual Illusion, which is much more powerful than ordinary Illusion.

Huo Yuhao can be temporarily transformed into a spiritual body, and can be freely split and merged, as long as the spiritual energy loss does not exceed 80% at the time of final merging.

Then Huo Yuhao will only need a short rest to recover, and he will not suffer any injuries or hidden dangers as a result.

Du Bu Si deduced that Huo Yuhao had concealed his aura using the presence of the cloud dragon, but it didn't matter. A long worm formed from soul power was nothing to a Super Douluo like him.

Dark green soul power adhered to his fist. Although he had not yet entered the strongest form of his Martial Soul True Body, Poison Undying had already completed the Martial Soul Possession.

The powerful blow instantly obliterated the cloud dragon, although the impact of the cloud dragon was comparable to the full-force attack of an ordinary Title Douluo.

However, this performance is completely inconsistent with the power that Yunlong initially displayed. Normally, the power contained within his body would be enough for him to launch three such attacks.

"Hmm? Interesting." Poison Undying exclaimed, because although the cloud dragon seemed to have been scattered, it had turned into mist and completely enveloped Poison Undying.

This is Huo Yuhao's second sixth soul ring skill, named Mirage.

Within this mirage, all space is filled with clouds, and the enemy's movements will stir up the clouds, causing them to move in tandem with the enemy's actions.

Like a shadow, like a dream, it creates an environment in reality that is difficult to escape, and the energy within it cannot be used by the enemy, directly cutting off the enemy's normal means of recovery.

However, if Du Busi were to unleash his Martial Soul True Form, with his powerful level 98 Soul Power, he would naturally be able to easily break through the mirage formed by the clouds.

But it was just a trial run, how could he possibly take it seriously?

At least that's what Du Bu Si still thinks for now. He then said, "Good disciple, let your master see what other tricks you have up your sleeve. Bring it on!"

It seems that, just as Du Bu Si said, Huo Yuhao really has come at us.

Amidst the clouds and mist, a herd of horses, formed from the clouds themselves, charged toward Poison Undying.

However, these horses varied in color and had all sorts of strange shapes. It was clear that in addition to the ordinary clouds, Huo Yuhao had also imbued them with special techniques such as combat skills and soul skills.

Seeing this, Du Bu Si nodded with satisfaction, although in his eyes these cloud horses formed from combat skills were still not considered particularly powerful opponents.

However, for Huo Yuhao, who only has a sixth-ring cultivation level, such methods would be extremely difficult to employ. Even a regular Title Douluo would likely suffer greatly if they were caught up in Huo Yuhao's fighting rhythm.

Without using any combat techniques, relying solely on his powerful physical body after his martial soul was attached to him, Du Busi easily scattered these cloud horses, each of which was no less powerful than an ordinary Soul Saint.

However, Huo Yuhao's offensive was not over yet. After the cloud horse dissipated, the soul power structure that made up their cloud energy and combat skills did not dissipate. Instead, under Huo Yuhao's control, it reassembled around the Poison Undying combination.

Moreover, aside from Huo Yuhao's own soul power, spiritual power, and the cloud energy enhanced by the environment itself.

The power that Du Busi had previously unleashed was now being controlled by Huo Yuhao, transformed into part of a giant soul power array, and used together to attack Du Busi.

"Haha, alright, let's stop here."

Poison Undying raised an eyebrow. Although he had only been testing the waters and holding back before, he had indeed been a little careless.

Now that Huo Yuhao has managed to use the remaining soul power from his previous attack to launch a counterattack, if this continues, although Huo Yuhao might not win, he will definitely embarrass himself.

The immense yet condensed soul power combined with spiritual power swept across the battlefield, and with the unleashing of the Poison Undying Battle Technique, it completely wiped out the battlefield formed by the clouds.

Even though Huo Yuhao still retained most of his spiritual and soul power stored in the clouds and wanted to regain control of the battlefield, the connection between them was severed by the unique will contained in the Undying Poison Technique.

Seeing this, Huo Yuhao had no choice but to reclaim the remaining soul power and spiritual power from the clouds. After this battle, his soul power and spiritual power had been consumed by about 40%.

"Oh? You still have 60% of your strength left, very good, very good." Poison Immortal praised Huo Yuhao without reservation.

Huo Yuhao smiled wryly and said, "Master, your last move was really too powerful. Otherwise, I would only have used up about 30% of my strength."

Upon hearing this, Poison Immortal's face twitched, but he still laughed loudly, "Alright, let's go back to the sect! The main objective of this Soul Hunting Plan has been achieved."

"Although it's a pity that there's nothing usable about the corpse of this mirage dragon, the ten-thousand-year-old soul beasts we hunted along the way are enough to nourish the youngsters in the sect."

The five titled elders all nodded in agreement.

Having endured the elements at sea for so long, it's much more comfortable to stay within the sect. Moreover, in order to act quickly this time, only a few of them went out to sea, so logistics had to be minimized.

Otherwise, in the past, a fleet of three titled experts, along with ten Soul Douluos and thirty Soul Saints, could be organized and equipped with ample supplies, making it possible to sail for a year or two without any problem.
