Chapter 3 Fated Death (New book launch, please add to your collection!)

The strange words made Huo Yuhao frown, but the young man thought he had persuaded him. However, before he could speak again, what happened next left him stunned.

Huo Yuhao's eyes lit up with a rose-gold light, and a peculiar golden light emanated from his forehead, like the first rays of dawn. Although it wasn't particularly dazzling, it made him subconsciously squint. From within that golden light, a vertical eye slowly opened.

"The Eye of Fate!?"

As if he had finally figured it out, the young man screamed, unable to hide his panic any longer.

"You're not a time traveler! You, you are Huo Yuhao!"

This vertical eye is naturally the Eye of Destiny that accompanied Huo Yuhao's soul through its rebirth, his unique natal artifact.

Huo Yuhao was not surprised that the other party recognized him. Judging from the behavior just now, this person's understanding of him was obviously abnormal. You should know that he and Dai Huabin had no interaction before. The fact that he had the guards fight him just now was obviously because he was instigated by this person and was deliberately targeting him.

If he hadn't been reborn, he probably would have been killed by the guards just now. And since they knew him so well, did they know about his mother's situation?

Thinking of this, a violent killing intent flashed in Huo Yuhao's eyes. Only he knew how much he cherished this opportunity after realizing he had been reborn. But as soon as he returned, someone wanted to ruin everything. This person could not be allowed to live no matter what.

But before that, he needed to figure out what kind of time traveler the other party was talking about.

Sensing Huo Yuhao's undisguised killing intent, the man trembled, and his body finally regained some strength at this moment. He hurriedly turned around and tried to run away, but the next second he felt a huge force coming from behind, causing him to lose his balance and be thrown to the ground.

The intense tremor made him dizzy, followed by several crisp sounds in his ears. Pain shot through his limbs and into his brain, causing him to scream in agony. In just a moment, all four of his limbs had dislocated.

"No, don't kill me! I'm still useful! I can, I can help you deal with Tang San!"

However, Huo Yuhao turned a deaf ear to this. If it weren't to prevent the pain from stimulating the other party and causing too much mental fluctuation that would affect the next step, he wouldn't have used such a gentle method.

He raised his other hand and placed it on the other person's forehead, while he began to chant mysterious and obscure incantations with practiced ease.

Not only the original sin and the Eye of Fate, but his soul, or rather his mental strength, was also much stronger after his rebirth, barely enough to support him in casting some necromancy.

Fragmented memories surfaced in his mind; though fragmented, they were enough for him to understand the other party's situation.

The young man's name was Yu Ming. Like Tang San, he had traveled from another world to Douluo Continent. His soul occupied the body of a servant's child in a duke's mansion. Before he even traveled there, Yu Ming already knew about the child's past life, which is why he recognized the Eye of Destiny at a glance.

After transmigrating, Yu Ming gained a very peculiar martial soul in his mental space. Once its attribute was determined, this martial soul could continuously evolve by absorbing the power of soul beasts of the same attribute.

Overjoyed, Yu Ming, who began to feel superior, immediately decided that his martial soul was of the ice attribute. He wanted to use his foresight into the trajectory of the world's development to obtain the power of ice-attribute soul beasts such as the Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion in the future, so as to evolve his martial soul.

To prevent this so-called rightful owner from getting in the way, Yu Ming even wanted to kill him in the Duke's mansion ahead of time. To this end, Yu Ming had been approaching Dai Huabin for a year, wanting to use him to kill him.

However, since he had not yet awakened his martial soul at that time, and many people in the Duke's mansion were still observing, even the Duchess did not dare to take direct action and could only suppress him.

Yu Ming was helpless in this situation and could only try to resolve things within the next two days.

As fate would have it, on the very day they awakened their martial souls, the group bumped into the reborn Huo Yuhao.

I have a question for you.

After reviewing the memories, Huo Yuhao's gaze returned to the child in front of him, and the child's deep eyes sent a chill down his spine.

"Although I still don't quite understand why you hold such a grudge against me."

Huo Yuhao paused, his tone somewhat strange, "But don't you transmigrators all really enjoy the feeling of controlling other people's destinies?"

It's really strange to think about it. Before transmigrating, he was just an ordinary person who couldn't even bring himself to kill a chicken. After transmigrating, he immediately changed his mindset and was willing to kill innocent people in order to gain the power to do whatever he wanted.

The transformation was so dramatic it was almost like possession; someone who didn't know better would think it was some kind of evil spirit master reincarnated.

Seeing that the other person's lips were trembling and he couldn't answer, Huo Yuhao sighed and shook his head.

"From your memories, I can tell you hate the person who once controlled my life, but to be honest, you're no different from him, and you're even worse than him."

As he finished speaking, the Eye of Destiny on Huo Yuhao's forehead seemed to undergo some indescribable changes.

Staring at him with those vertical eyes, Yu Ming felt an indescribable sense of panic, as if some part of his body that he couldn't understand had been exposed to Huo Yuhao, and even his soul began to tremble.

Huo Yuhao's experience was also quite strange. After his rebirth, his Eye of Destiny seemed to have evolved in some way. After activating this ability, he felt that he had an additional peculiar perspective in his mind.

From that perspective, the world before him seemed to be covered by a gray filter, with everything in sight being an unchanging gray. After staring at Yu Ming for a moment, very conspicuous, bright lines like cracks began to appear on the other's body. These lines crisscrossed and finally converged on his left shoulder.

Feeling his mental energy rapidly depleting, Huo Yuhao's eyes flashed, and without further hesitation, he gently traced the lines on the other person's arm with his dagger.

A bizarre scene unfolded: the blade did not cut through the flesh, but instead seemed to pierce through a layer of illusion, disappearing directly into the skin as if it were nothing. As Huo Yuhao drew the line, the opponent's arm decayed at an extremely fast speed, turning into ashes.

"My hand."

Looking at his empty sleeves, the bizarre scene filled Yu Ming with unprecedented terror.

"I'm going to name this ability 'Destined Death,' what do you think?"

With just a simple experiment, Huo Yuhao had already roughly understood the effect of this ability. The Eye of Destiny, which had been reborn with him, possessed the ability to see through the essence of death of living beings. By destroying those lines, it could give living beings the most essential annihilation.

Moreover, it wasn't just seeing the lines that required mental energy; when Huo Yuhao used the White Tiger Dagger to cut along the lines, he clearly felt that the rate at which his mental energy was consumed had increased significantly again.

He could vaguely sense that the cutting lines were also closely related to the opponent's strength. If the opponent's strength far exceeded his, they might directly drain his mental energy.

Upon hearing Huo Yuhao's calm teasing, Yu Ming suddenly looked at him. He trembled slightly when he met Huo's indifferent gaze, and then, bloodshot veins quickly filled his eyes.

"Huo Yuhao, you're just a good-for-nothing who'll spend your whole life being Tang San's dog!"

Realizing that the other party would not let him go, Yu Ming, who had never experienced a life-or-death situation before, finally broke down at this moment, roaring like a wild beast and venting his resentment and venom.

"So many people helped you, and you let them down. You deserve to die!!!"
